TO BUY THE POPE A CITY.
Ccnstsntinopie. More Than Rome, I
Likely to BE Purchased.

Sonstentinopie, more Than Rome, IL
Likely to He Purchased.
II Is suggested that the Roman Catho-
lies Of Christendom shall subscribe ST.
600, ooo, 900 to buy Rome and a nearby
seaport for the pope, says Harper's
Weekly. The belief Is expressed that
the Italian government might sell che
property without serious detriment to
Its political integrity and that the
money could be used to greatadvantage
In relieving Italy Of part Of the burden
OF her public debt. 1t is not proposed
TO turn over the principal to the vendors,
but to place IL in trust and to pay It's
annual proceeds into the Italian treas
ury as long as the pope remains undis-
turbed in the papal territory.
The plan is a very pretty one aud
there are those who think the money
might be raised and that King Hum
bert's government would appreciate
the advantages OF such a bargain. But
would Rome be the best purchase the
pope could make with the money?
Chicago would take him vastly cheaper
and give him port privileges on Lake
Michigan, but she could not engage to
make him monarch OF an American town
ship at any price. But there Is Con-
stantinople, an excellent city, where
popes have lived before, full Of ready
made churches built by Christians and
nearly ripe now for RECONSIDERATION.
Constantinople seems Liable TO come
into the market any day. IL the pope
could buy it Of the sultan That would be
q deal worth subscribing to and worth
turning a.page of history TO record.

Oliver Wendell Holmes pinned his

Of his death.
Some aged persons give the credit OF
their long lives to abstinence from to-

CHICAGO HORSES AT LUNCHEON
Mans Faithful Servants Emulate Him In
Taking "A Hurried Meal D~owntown.

Taking n Hurried Meal Downtown.
Even the horses of this city take
luncheon downtown. Every business
man knows what this means, the hur-
ried bite taken in the short hour about
noon every day, when business is aban-
doned long enough to permit the de-
struction of a piece of pie or a sandwich.
Everybody does il, so IL Is as fair for
II as the other, says the Chicago
Chronicle.
This same haste applies TO the nag
which pulls the cab or the heavy dray
horses used as freighters. At the noon
hour on n of the downtown streets
the observant person can see these
faithful beasts with nosebags depend
ing from their heads quietly MUNICH
ing their oats or corn with every evil
dence of satisfaction.
1t makes no difference to the horses
that the passing throng sees them in
the act of taking food. They are rs
callous on this subject as their mas
tiers, many Of whom can be seen sitting
on the wagon or adjacent sidewalk
with tinpail open, eagerly destroying
the luncheon which the wife packed in
the morning. 1t is all in a lifetime, and
the Chicago horse has learned that he
must eat when he can, and not be too
particular about IL. Hence he lays his
ears back and munches away with
placid ioy.

SCIENTIFIC REASON GIVEN.

low the Observes.
Wollaston's curious discovery was
that by adding TO each pair Of eyes q
nose directed to the right OF the left,
the eyes lose their front direction, and
look 10 the right or left, according TO
the direction of the nose. BY means of
a flap representing the lower features
in a different position, as Dr. Wollaston
remarks, "a lost look of devout abstrac-
ton IN an uplifted c~ountenance of in
quisitive archness in the leer of q
younger face turned downward and OBJ
liqueiy toward the opposite side"
AS by changing the direction of the
lower features we change the direction
of the eyes, says Notes and Qnerics. so
by changing our position, the Y OF the
portrait apparently follows us. IL Il
vertical line be drawn through the tip
OF the nose and half way between the
eyes, there will be the same breadth of
head, of cheek, of chin and of neck on
each side OF this middle line, and each
iris will Ire in the middle Of the whole
eye. III we now move 20 one side, the
apparent horizontal breadth of every
part OF the head and face will be di-
minished, but the parts on each side Of
the middle line will be diminished equal
ly. and nj any position. however obliqre,
there will he the same breadth of faoe
ON each side of the middle line, and the
Iris will be in the center OF the whole
of the eyeball, so that, being on a flas
surface, the iris will be seen in front OF

in Nature that, although IS years have

two giant volcanoes which he named

about that mysterious part Of tho
