KILLED BY HARSH CRITICISM.
Mgr Carini, Blamed and Censured by the
Cardinals, Dies from the Blow.

Mgr. Carini, Blamed and Censured by the
Cardinals, Dies from the Blow.
You may perhaps have heard of the
recent theft of precious illuminated
parchments at the vatican library, says
an Italian correspondent. The robber,
the soi-disant Prof. Sordi, has indirectly
become a murderer, for it is certainly
to the anxiety and pain caused by the
mutilation of his photographic treas
ures that we must attribute the sud-
den death of Mgr. Carini, the project
of the vatican library. This eminent
prelate, though com paratively young
being only about fifty-was known
and respected in the scientific world
for his learned writings on historical,
photographic and theological subjects
and belonged to several scientific
academies both in Italy and abroad.
The theft of the parchments brought
down an avalanche of annoyances
and trouble on the quiet, peaceful sa-
want and he bravely supported the
weary interrogatiOns of the police of
icials and the assaults of prying re-
porters. But the coup de grace came
to him when he was called before "a
committee of cardinals, one of whom,
the Jesuit Mezzarella. harshly threw
upon him all the blame of what had
occurred.
This was too much for the poor mon
seignor. His Sicilian blood got the
better of his love for the grand library,
which was his greatest pride and care,
and he rushed out of the room, ex-
claiming: Very we'll, 1 shall resign"
But the blow had been too painful, and
a few hours later, when at his place in
the chapter of st. Peters, singing YES
pers with the other canons, Mgr. Carini
sunk down in swoOn and was carried
into the court of ST. Damascus, where
he expired without regaining con-
sciousness- Mgr. Carini was a son of
Gen. Carini, who commanded the army
corps of Perugia when Archbishop
Pecci, not yet elevated to the chair of
st. Peter, occupied that see. Leo
XIII. had, therefore, known the late
monseignor since his childhood, and,
approaching the rare talents of the
young priest, called him to Rome,
where, in the course of time, he ap-
| pointed him to the important post
which he occupied at. the time of his
| sudden death. His holiness has been
profoundly shocked and grieved at the
| loss of Mgr. Carini, whom he had al
| ready appointed cardinal.-St. James
| Gazette.

kill her. On the day OF the murder he
went on a fishing expedition to Gorles-
ton. which is reached by a different
railway line. He then walked from
Gorleston to Gorton by an unfrequent-
ed road, and concealed himself in Bur
ton Grove in the hope of meeting Miss
Dicey. Unhappily, he did succeed in
meeting her, as she was returning to
Gorton through the grove, after hav-
ing parted with Turner. Then he
waited beside the railway line, at some
distance from the station, until the

THE SUMNER CAPE.
A Pretty Accessory to the Warm Weather
Costume.

A Pretty Accessory to the Warm Weather
Costume.
The tinv little cape that is not much
more than a collar is greatly fancied
for summer evening wear, and really
is protection against a draught-and,
infinitesimal as it seems, will undoubt-
eddy keep from many a woman that
evil of evils-a summer cold Ribbon,
lace chiffon or silk muslin are used in
making these capes, and while they
fetch large prices at the dressmakers,
they can, with little thought. be made
at home and only a small amount OF
money need to be expended upon one
She who has a slender, rather long
throat will, for comfort and effect,
choose the cape surmounted with full
box-plait. A very good model for this
type of woman is cape made of white
chiffon little over a quarter of a yard
deep and plated in full accordion fash
ion. This is fastened to a double box
plat of black satin ribbon nearly an
eighth of a yard wide, from under
which, falling down on the cape proper,
are long cut jet pendants. The ties,
supposed to be the end of the guile,
are of ribbon like it. and when Topped
have ends that reach almost to the
edge of the skirt while the loops come
to the waist.
For the short-throated woman an
other style of cape is shown. While
chiffon or muslin may be used for 1T, a
turnover collar, fancifully cut, either
in blocks or Vandykes, is the neck fin
ish. A very pretty one has the cape
formed of two full rifles of rose-cOl-
ored silk muslin. Rolling on the cape
is a velvet collar of emerald green cut
to form two points in front, one on
each shoulder and two in the back
These are outlined by three rows of
iridescent spangles- A clasp. formei
of two large imitation emerelds, set
round with rhinestones, makes unnec-
essary the ribbon bow which is never
advised at any time for the plump
woman These CONNECTIONS, as, prop
erly enough, the French modiste calls
them, give just the necessary warmth,
are delightful to wear and pretty to
look upon. A very simple cape, quite
suited to an elderly lady wearing moth
ing but black, is short ripple one of
black broadcloth. smoothly cut 30 that
no hem or lining is required, with
guile and ties of black Chiffon

SONG.

Shout for the ship that's in sight,
Weep for the ship that's away!
Grieve for the fallen in fight,
But honor the victor with bay.
Hope never dies with the light,
For the night
Hides within it the promise of day!
Shout for the youth that has won.
Weep for the youth that has fai1edi
At noontide the day is not done.
For the mists that at morning prevailed.
Why should the that's begun
Not be won.
Tho the boat was nigh wrecked when II
sailed.
Shout for the glory of birth!
Weep for the conquest OF death!
With tne love and the laughter of mirth
Come the sins and the SORROWS of breath.
But who shrinks from this fight upon earth
Is not worth
We should weep for him after his DEATH

Farmer Asks for an Agricultural Report
Indifferent About the Date.
The official in charge of the CORE
spondence of the agricultural depart
ment in Washington a few years ago
was a gentleman of education and pol
ish. But, above all, he was conscien-
tious and consummate letter writer.
All the courteous expressions of gov
ermental epistles were at his fingers
ends, and it was a pleasure to him to
impart to them a gracefulness that
governmental letters sometimes lack.
He received a scrawly letter one
day. 1t was from Hosea Jones, of
Goose Run, Wis. It was addressed to
the ''Agryc u1tral Department, Wash'n-
tn, d. c." and it said: "Sir, want a
agreecultral repo't, an bein' in the
farmin' bisness orter git it."
Now there are many agricultural re-
ports of many dates and on many top
les, and a request for one OK more OF
these valuable and absorbing volumes
should of necessity be more specific
than Mr.. Jones request was. The Of
fetal, having plenty OF time, and see
ing chance for harmless pleasantly,
in9ited an elaborate letter to the
farmer, informing him Of the eager

wrote of the agricultural departments

dicating the desira bility of specific
statement as to the date or the subject
of the report desired, he closed with
an assurance of the secretary's esteem.

SNAKE BITES
How They Are Cured In Far-OE South



Africa
The following extraordinary ''cure
OF snake bite" comes to US through .
south African newspaper under the
narrator's full name, as a fact: 4
Kaffir servant accompanying a party
''trekking" (traveling) was bitten by
venomous snake, a yellow cobra. and
when found was commencing to get
into comatose state. As the only re-
course, as the party were without
medicines, antidotes or brandy, a Hot
tentot shepherd and snake doctor was
fetched to the patient This is how the
physician is described: "A man of ap-
parently between tfty-ive and sixty
years of age. face repulsive in the ex-
treme (Hottentots are proverbially not
Adonis-lil1e). wearing pair of cordu-
ROY trousers and on his head 2 dirty
linen cap''-mark the linen cap! When
called to the patient he prescribed,
and an hour afterwards he was as
sound as ever. The process of the
cure is thus described: The doc
tor was in the habit of extracting
and drinking the venom of the snakes
which he captured. 1t intoxicated
him. He would then sleep off the
effects. His cap was never off his
work itself into the cap whenever he
exerted himself and became heated-in
the same way as perspir alton eX-
of the billycock of civiliza-
ton. The cap was saturated to
much an extent by the venom
that whenever snake bit him it had
not the least effect. He imbibed the
poison thrice a week. One cap lasted
him a year, some times longer, after
which it was carefully hung up in his
hut, and another head-piece, which he
manufactured himself donned in its
stead When he wished to cure any
one bitten by snake, all he did was
to take cup of boiling water, and
after cutting piece from the cap, soak
it in the boiling water, rub and squeeze
it until the water was discolored in
proportion, and then give the liquid
decoction to the patient to drink, fore
ing it down his throat. The cure was
| invariably effective. Such is the story,
but whether our readers will believe
it is quite another question.
The same narrator tells of friend
who cured himself by particularly
intrepid means. He says: Il have
heard of fellow who was bitten in
Ine 1eIG arm Oy d very POISONOUS SudtAe
| in Natal, named a mamba, while out
shooting near Pietermaritzburg. He
was quite alone, not a house within
two miles of him, where he could OBJ
tain medical treatment or any assist
ance whatever. He knew that he had
but short while to live, unless he
could devise some means of Kidding
himself of the poison. What do you
suppose he did? With his knife he
hacked and slashed the wound until it
bled freely; he next rubbed some gun
powder into the afflicted place and set
light to it. He literally blew the
poisoned flesh out of his armi 1t saved
his life, but the bone of his arm is ex-
posed and blackened by the gunpow-

THE OLD GRAY MILL.



Oh, the days have been many. many
Since 1 first began TO roam,
And the hours have been weary, weary
Since left the dear old home;
Yet tonight, with the moonligh ht on me
AS it shines, from Ger the hill,
j can hear the boys, they are singing
On the bridge by the old gray mill
CHORUS.
oh, listen the boys are singing,
/ can hear thoir voices still.
They are softly. sweetly ringing,
From the bridge by the old gray mill.
When the moon shone bright We d gath'r
Comrades Of days gone by,
And we'd sing in our boyish voices
Meath the calm of the summer sky;
And the waters ceaseless murmur
AS it rolled beneath our feet.
Joining in with softning cadence
Made the melody complete.
CHORUS.
Oh. listen my comrades singing;
/ can hear the music still.
1t is softly, sweetly ringing.
From the bridge by the old gray mill.
Sometimes twas a rollicking chorus
That made the echoes ring,
And again It twas sweet and plaintive
As my comrades loved to sing;
Dear Joe, the grass is growing
Der your grave these many years,
Yetto-night, with these memories tender
My eyes are filed with tears.
CHORUS.
For think can hear you singing,
Your voice is sounding still.
1t is softly, sweetly ringing,
From the bridge by the old gray mill.
All my comrades long have wandered
From the old home place so dear,
And some have been bowed by sorrow
Since last saw them there;
And some of tho boys are singing
Tonight on the other shore,
May they bid me join in the chorus
When this troublesome life is DER.
CHORUS.
oh, listen the boys are singing,
1 can hear their voices still.
They are softly, sweetly ringing,
From the bridge by the old gray mill.
