One characteristic of Mgr Satolli is
the power of his memory His duties
require him to make frequent speeches
before American congregations, and
therefore IN the English language. He
Writes his speeches ont in Italian for
mulates in his own language and on
paper what he wishes TO say and in Just
what words h. wishes to say it, has
these speeches translated into English
by his Interpreter and then commits
fhe English to memory. So wonderful
is his memory and SO thorough his mas
terry of detail that no one would sus-
pect from listening to his utterances
that he was not an English scholar.
Although not understanding the words
he speaks, he gives them an infection
and pronunciation that are nearly per-
feet and proves that the power of imita-
ton has been strongly cultivated within
him, for he copies every emphasis
taught him by the interpreter. Boston

Chauvinism is term that has come
to mean an extravagant and absurd
patriotism and pride in ones own coun-
try, with a corresponding enmity to-
ward and contempt for foreign nations.
1t is the French equivalent for the jim
goism of the London music halls after
Lord Beaconsiield' return from the
congress of Berlin in 1878. The origin
of the word is due to Chauvin, the
name of a figure in the comedy La
Cocarde Theodore" Qs3U by the
brothers Theodore and Hippolyte Cogn-
ard, the action in which includes the
conquest OF Algeria. Chauvln is a
young recruit who speaks much, dis
plays great courage and sings several
couplets with the refrain, u suis Fran
Gals, j'suis Chauvin, j'tape sur le Bed
ouin. g" The authors of the comedy,
however, borrowed the name from that
of Nicholas Chauvin, an old soldier of
Napoleon, well known in his time in
Paris for his devoted enthusiasm for the
emperor. Calvin is Latinized form
of the same family name. Brooklyn

Why Mindmills Burned Down.

OF the production of fire by the fric-
ton of wood against wood, windmills
of the old construction gave, on large
scale, some disastrous examples. When
the force of the wind increased, the
miller was Obliged to bring each of the
sails in succession to the ground in or
der to unclothe it, but when sudden
squalls came on this was impracticable,
and the mill, in extreme cases, ran
away that is. could not be stopped.
Everything was now done to increase
the grip of the wooden brake round the
great wheel on the driving shaft, and
water was poured copiously over them,
but in spite of all this flames would
sometimes burst out from the intense
friction and the mill be probably
burned down as the result. The beau
tiful machinery of the modern wind
mill, by which the miller controls the
action of the sails from the interior of
the building, has reduced this danger to
minimum. Notes and Queries,

Below are some interesting statements
made in letter written by Il gentleman
from Somerset county: "There should
be appointed Il game warden to look
after poachcrs in the northern part of
Somerset county, especially that part of
it lying north of Dead River. This war.
dc1 should be stationed at the Forks, for
there are there IA class of people who
will not work and who depend for liv-
ing or the slaughter of big game out of
season. One of these men on January
7th vent up onto johnson mountain and
killed three moose. one bull, one COW
and one heiter calf. This man, with Il
companion. is still hunting in that re-
gion. Last Sunday some Young men
from the Forks went into the woods in
the morning and returned at night
bringing five dead deer. Moose are on
decrease in Maine, and not one-tenlh
part of those killed are killed in the
lawful way. Caribou are very scarce in
deed, being now almost as rare As moose
Deer are slaughtered by the wholesale
Year after year this killing of moose in
the deep snow of February and March
goes on, with 40 one to trouble these
hunters. There is no warden within
many miles and when one is appointed
he is generally some one down in SkOw
hogan, who comes up into this country
without knowing anything about it.
