The Pope,s Insomnia.

Pope Leo XIII. has very nervous
temperament, and this added to his
incessant work and exertions, renders
him liable to frequent insomnia. He
has not slept lately much more
than two hours night When sleep
does not come to him he composes
Latin verses, or calls one OF his
secretaries, and dictates to him in
his bedroom sentences, sketches for
documents or for encyclical letters,
and thus keeps constantly at work.
The principal physical trouble with
the Pope is that he catches colds
easily, which render him voiceless
for a few days, but which do not
affect his general health.

Telephones in Sydney.

According to the Postm sster- Cen

more telephones in use than all the
rest OF Australia. This the result of
a great reduction in the subscription
charges. Formerly the rates were
II guineas year, but the Postmas-
ter has lowered the price to 60 for
business establishments and f5 for
private houses. AS consequence,
there is such great demand that
the department is unable to pur-
chase a sufficient number OF tele-
phones to cope with it. There are
now 1900 telephones in use in the

The End of Modern Drama in
Paris.

A trial in the Seine Assize Court
this week was the closing chapter OF
a story of which the title might have
been Drink" The eliminating
tragedy has already been reported.
1t all began in public house a gen
Grafton ago. Vasseur, the landlord,
after selling enough absinthe to his
neighhors to become a respectable
citizen, found his Nemesis in his
own bottles. He became alcoholized
himself Without his knowledge
his wife fell into the same state.
Their son was victim from his
birth, suffering from the laziness and
general good-for-nothingness COM
mon in the second generation Of
drunken families. There was
cousin, too, who, along with his
wife, appears to have been pretty
equally degenerate. As years went
on Vasseur, Sr., whose public house
was steadily prospecting, became liza
BILE to mad fits of rage, while his son
was pale-faced worthless dishonest
weakling, yet with kind and affec-
tionate qualities. The mother shared
her husbands hatred for the son,
who never stayed more than a fort
flight in any place. The father had
several times threatened to kill him,
and on one occasion he threw him
into the Seine. On April "a last
Vasseur strangled his son in the
Wood of Vincennes. Boucher, the
murderer's cousin, and a railway
porter, had decoyed the victim, and
closed his mouth, while his father
had his hands on his neck. The two
men were arrested. On the follow
ing day Vasseur, after confessing
that he had killed his son in order
that the latter might not bring dis
grace upon the family, opened a
window at the Prefecture of Police,
and threw himself out, death being
instantaneous. Young Vasseur, it
came out few days later in a trial
for murder, had joined gang of
burglars, and would very likely have
ended his days on the scaffold; but
the father was not aware of this.
The actors in this tragedy appear
throughout to be in full possession
OF their senses. We are sure that
drink, slowly distilled through their
bodies, has turned them into de.
mons, but never do we see them
drunk. All the members OF the
family, men and women, have trait
in common. They weep on the
slightest provocation. Their actions
are not those OF reasonable creatures,
and yet it is impossible to deny
them what we call free will, or to
feel that they are not fully con-
scious, and, therefore, responsible
beings. Jules Boucher appeared
alone before the jury as accomplice.
He is little man of 40, his face red
with tears. A verdict OF guilty was
given, sentence OF 10 years penal
servitude being passed.-The People.
