An Archbishop Deposed.

Archbishop Kenrick. of st. Louis,
has been deposed by the pope, on the
grounds of mental incapacity and
and age; but possibly because the
venerable archbishop had declared his
belief against certain dogmas of the
church.
Archbishop Kenrick, wa i'm no sense
provincial. His attitude at the vati-
can council VIII ich declared against
the dogmas of papal infallibility ard
the immaculate conception gained
him worldwide reputation and an
gagged him in controversies with the
greatest theologians within and with
out his church.
His attitude at the conclave begat
him the unbending opposition of the
authorities at Rome. This feeling has
cropped out frequently, notably in
the removal of Archbishop Ryan, to
Philadelphia. whom Archbishop Ken
rick whished to be his successor.
Since that time there as been un-
broken silence between the metropali
tan of st. Louis and his ecclesiastical
supporters to Rome. The retirement
of Archbishop Kenrick is the result u
a petition to the, propaganda, setting
forth his mental incapacity and the
dangerous condition of the bnsine>,
affairs of the diocese.

A Clever and Versatile Lawyer.

When Judge Parsons was practic-
ing lawyer he was once employed to
plead two'cases in court which were
precisely alike, but in one'she was en-
gagged for the plaintiff, in the other
for the defendant. It happened that
both cases were tried the same day.
He spoke for half an hour to the first
jury; the case was given to the jurors,
and they had retired. When he ap-
peared before the second jury he
made use of very different arguments
from those employed by him before,
of which the court took notice, re-
minding him that he seemed to have
changed his tune and repeated to him
what he said few minutes before.
Mr.. Parsons fixed his keen eye upon
the judge and replied: "May it please
your honor, l might have been wrong
an hour ago, but now 1 know / am
right" He proceeded, and when the
juries returned it was found be had
gained a verdictin both cases.-Lewis-

A GIRL HERCULES.
Five Years Old and Can Lift More Than
Twice Her Own Weight.

Up in the hills and health-giving at
mosphere of Sullivan county lives a
veteran Of the civil war named John
II. Laird, and it was the fame of his
5-year-old daughter, Jessie Maud, that
dragged a World reporte rover the in
terminable hills to Hurd's Settlement
yesterday. Jessie Maud, or Maud, as
she is generally called, is a child over
whose face and figure painters and
sculptors would make silly folks Of
themselves. The little girl was accom-
panied by brothers and sisters who
ranged in age from II down. The three
older girls, May, Mabel and Alice, were
sometimes tired, but Maud from the
time she could walk alone has appar
emily never known what it was to reach
the limit of her strength in any one
days exertionS.
It was with great surprise that Farm
er Laird learned the mission Of the re-
porter who alighted at his comfortable
farmhouse yesterday, but he couldn't
conceal the pride he felt. In the barn
yard near the entrance Of the barn was
a coil or spool of barbed wire weighing
sixty-two pounds.
Lift it Cal" said the farmer to his
Oldest boy. he IL yCdI-OlQ 1du 1oIO
hold of the crosspins which stuck out
at the end of the spool, and with a big
tug, which visibly frightened the cords
in the calves Of his bare legs, raised it
a few inches from the ground.
''Now Maud" said the father, and the
little girl planted herself squarely be-
hind the big SPOOL which reached up
to about midway between her knees
and her thighs. Without any percepti-
BILE effort she raised the spool
and held it for several seconds. If
there had been any reddening of the
face or putting out of the veins the spec
tacle would not have been an edifying
one But there was nothing of the sort.
Mr. Laird then placed stones which
weighed twenty pounds on top of the
spool and asked Maud to lift it again.
The result was precisely the same, and
all evidences Of violent exertion were
missing. The combined weight Of the
spool and stones was two pounds more
than double the weight Of the little girl
herself. The average man weighs per-
haps $50 pounds, but the man who can
raise from the ground and hold in the
air 302 pounds of dead weight is a
great way above the average.-New

knowing that some important movement
was on foot. And while he wondered
what it meant, his thoughts would go
back to that other army and that other
chieftain, who, by now, must have
ceased to look for him. He wondered
how his failure to return would be re-
ceived. And then his thoughts took a
longer flight, going back to that old
home in the Empire State, and to the
loved ones he could not hope to see
again. Perhaps the tears glistened in
his eyes as he thought of it all; but
there was no sign Of fear in his de-
pertinent when, at the fated hour, he
was led forth to die.
'By Jove! he's sure to break down be-
fore the signal is given said the
sergeant who had charge Of the squad
to place him in position for the closing
act in the awful drama.
Harry heard the words, and suddenly
lifting his head, he said:
"Give me a drum, sir, and I will play
a tattoo while you shoot me-"
''Did you ever?' exclaimed the officer.
st swear it's a pity to shoot him like
this. But orders are orders, though
you may get him a drum, Sawyer. He
will forget while he plays"
By the time Harry was blindfolded a
drum was put into his hand, when he
instantly struck up the spirited notes
which had so often given life and hope
to his old regiment Of gallant soldiers.
No doubt the boy drummer did for
get the deadly danger that menaced
him as he caught up the beloved strain
and sent out to hill and valley the music
of which he was master. And if he for
got so did his captors for the moment.
The grim phalanx stood silent and mo-
tionless while it waited for the stern
command that was to end all.
Moments are priceless sometimes, and
the brief while that Harry Baldwin held
his enemies spellbound by his last
tattoo saved him his life, for suddenly
the clear notes of the drum were
drowned by the lusty shouts Of men.
Then body of Union cavalry flung
itself upon the surprised Confederates.
Amazed, bewildered, confident that no
small body of trops would throw them
selves single-handed upon overwhelm-
ing forces, they broke and fed in wild
disorder.
The flight was short but decisive, and
only a few minutes later the bandage
vSas torn from the drummer boys eyes
by friendly hands, and he was borne in
triumph back to the Union army.

DANCING HORSES OF sYBARIs.
A Ruse by Which the Crotoniates Con-
quered Their Enemies.

quered Their Enemies.
In the St. Nicholas, James Baldwin
tells of the decline Of the Greek colony
of Sybaris after the inhabitants had
given themselves up wholly to pleas
ure. Of the battle in which they were
finally conquered, Mr.. Baldwin writes:
When a spy reported to the Crotoniates
that he had seen all the horses in
Sybaris dancing to the music of a pipe,
the Croton general saw his opportunity
at once. He sent into the Sybarite ter
ritories a large company of shepherds
and filters armed with nothing but
flutes and shepherds pipes, while a
little way behind them marched the
rank and file of the Crotoniate army.
When the Sybarites heard that the
enemy's forces were coming, they mar
shaled their cavalry-the finest in the
world at that time-and sailed forth
to meet them. They thought it would
be fine sport to send the Crotoniates
scampering back across the fields into
their own country; and half of Sybaris
went out to see the fun. What an odd
sight it must have been-a thousand
fancifully dressed horsemen, splendidly
mounted, riding out to meet an army
ragged foot-soldiers! The Sybarite
ladies wave their handkerchiefs and
cheer their champions to the charge.
The horsemen sit proudly in their sad
dies, ready at word to make the grand
dash-when, bark! A thousand pipes
begin to play-not Yankee Doodle" nor
''Rule Britannia"-but the national air
of Crotch, whatever that may have
been. The order is given to charge; the
Sybarites shout and drive their spurs
into their horses f1ankS-what fine
sport it 10 going to be! But the war
steeds hear nothing, care for nothing,
but the music. They lift their slender
hoofs in unison with the inspiring
strains. And now the armed Croton-
iates appear on the field; but the pipers
still pipe, and the horses still dance
they caper, curvet, caracole, pirouette,
waltz, trip the light fantastic hoof, for
getful Of everything but the delight
full harmony. The Sybarite riders have
been so sure of the victory that they
have taken more trouble to ornament
than to arm themselves. Some OF them
are pulled from their dancing horses
by the Crotoniate footmen-others slip
to the ground and run as fast as their
nerveless legs will carry them back to
the shelter of the city walls. The shep-
herds and filters retreat slowly toward
Croton, still piping merrily, and the
sprightly horses follow them keeping
step with the music. The dancing
horses cross the boundary line betYeQ
the two countries, they waltz aRS
the Crotoniate fields, they caracole 49,
ly through the Croton gates, and when
tho fifarS coa So their DlaVing the streets
of Crotona are full of fine warehouses!
Thus it was that the Sybarites lost the
fine cavalry of which they had been so
proud The complete overthrow of their
power and the conquest Of their city
by the Crotoniates followed soon after
ward-for how, between SO idle and so
industrious community, could it have
been otherwise?

"A AAND-SHAPED ORANGE.
Belongs to the Usage variety-Even the
Finger Nails Are There.

The five-fingered orange is a queer
thing, says Pearson's Weekly. 1t grows
in exactly the shape Of a human hand,
with a thumb and four fingers. 1t is
half-open hand, that of this curious
fruit, and the close resemblance to the
lean, long-nailed hand is startling. Even
the nails are Identical, hard-pointed and
clawlike, tipping the orange fingers
with a length equal in some cases to
three inches.
1t is no interloper in a wel1-regulated
family of oranges, but a regular mem
Der, belonging to the Usage variety. 1t
has family name and Christian name
of it's own, but it's pet name is five
fingered orange" and nobody but the
botanist cares to call it by the one,
which means the same thing.
The tree itself is ragged little SHRUB
that does not average more than five
or six feet in height in it's native Japan.
1t does not grow straight as a properly
behaved tree is supposed to do, but is
curved everywhere. 1t would be very
difficult to find two consecutive inches
in the entire tree whose line of direction
is the same.
Even the branches grow in spiral
forms, so. that the width Of the tree is
often as great as the height The fruit
itself is of a light-yellow color, pure
lemon hue, growing greehish toward
the stem. The size is immense, cOnStd-
cred relatively to other oranges or to
the size of the tree, the largest ones
measuring when mature fully ten inches
from the wrist to the point of the middle
finger, including the nail.
The fr1lif iS not Q6ihI0-nnnn of the
Usage variety is-but what 1t lacks in
being unable to tickle the palate it more
than makes up in good perfume. The
strangest thing connected with the per-
fume is that it is the fruit and not the
flower that is most odorous. The fruit
when ripe is so redolent that it's scent
can be recognized full mile from where
the orange is growing.

Harry, proudly, "and as such, believe,

"Oh-hoi so that's it? Well, you look

Perhaps the heart of the Confederate

All that 1ivelong day the little drum
