in Constantinople last week by the explo-
sion of a bomb. The police say the explo-
sion, which did no damage, was the result
of an effort on the part Of an Armenian
woman to get rid of number of bombs
which she had in her possession. She was
in the act OF throwing the bombs into the
sea when one of them exploded. The woman
was arrested.

been unearthed. just how valuable these
papers were, or what they tended to estab-

The Harp Of Brian Born.

The sightsee in Dublin who fails to
visit Trinity college and spend day
among the treasures preserved In the
great museum belonging to that in
stitution makes the mistake of his life.
In that museum there are hundreds Of
thousands Of relics, but the one In which
most people take the greatest interest is
the harp which once belonged to Brian
Boroihme, or Brian Boru, as he is most
commonly called. Brian Boru was the
Irish monarch who was killed in the
great battle at Clontarf in the year
1914 A. d. Brian left his harp and his
crown to his son Donagh, who succeed
ed as king. Soon after Donagh was de-
posed by warlike nephew and was
forced to retire to Rome. He took his
fathers crown and harp with him, and
they were kept in the Vatican collection
for several centuries, the crown, which
is of massive hammered gold, being still
numbered among the pope's treasures.
The harp, however, was sent to Henry
VIII, and he presented 1t to the first
earl of Clanricarde. 1t was deposited in
the museum mentioned in the opening
in the year 1872. The harp is 30 inches
high and of good workmanship, the
carving on the oak frame being equal to
anything that could be done today. 1t
is we'll preserved and does not look TO
be an instrument upward of 1000 years
old. Louis Republic

plains the theory of mental suggestion
or hypnotism, by which the susceptible
portion of tribe or people or group
of peoples, give themselves up to a
popular delusion. In the same numb, r

Cake an Old Institution.

The ancients made cake, but it was
not the rich, highly seasoned and fla
vored CONNECTION which we indulge in
nowadays. They had plain cakes made
with flour and water, some of them
without suspicion of sweet or flavor.
Some of them We're not unlike our
plainest crackers and were often eaten
as we eat bread.
Wedding cake was an institution
among them, as with us, but the cake
was plain one and was broken above
the head of the bride as she went to her
new home. This was a special feature
of Roman marriages 2, 600 years ago.
The breaking Of the cake was part of a
solemn ceremony. All of the cakes Of
ancient history are plain and simple.
1t is only us we come down to more
modern times that we hear of spices
and fruits and all of the rich and lux
urious ingredients in which present day
cakemakers delight. In Queen Eliza
beth 5 time spice cakes and buns were
eaten at weddings. From these the
fashion and fancy grew for all sorts Of
elaborate and deliciously unwholesome
combinations until there seems to be a
perpetual struggle for something new
and moe unusual to stir into the cake
of the period.
Very many persons think cake is I'M
wholesome. Some sorts Of cake may be,
but why simple cake with little
good fruit III it should be specially in
furious is IA puzzling question. Cake
made with fresh, sweet butter and fresh
eggs can scarcely be II tax on the diges-
tive powers, and no other shortening
save good butter should ever be put into
cake. -Philadelphia Press.

NO RENTING OF PEWS,
Dr.. Ketchum of Berkeley Says
That No Seats Will Be
Sold in His Church.
University Entrance Examinations
Commenced at Berkeley and at
Other Towns of the. State.

BERKELEY, CAL, May 1.-THE wide
spread report that a system OF pew rent
ing is to be soon put into effect at the new
First Presbyterian Church of Berkeley has
caused somewhat of a sensation on the
part of it's members and visitors. Though
the affirmation appears to be groundiess
according TO the statement of the pastor
Rev. DR.. Ketchum, who was interviewed
to-day, yet the rumor had its menacing
effect on him, as it came to his ears from
various mem bers of the congregation. He
appeared much put out over the report
when called upon, and in order to clear up
the matter in the eyes of the community
he prepared statement for publication.
DR.. Ketchum believes that the house OF
God should be open to all who wish to
worship therein and that there should be
no anchoring of choice seats. As the ex-
penses of the church have to be met in
some way or other, sittings are sold to the
members at uniform rate, but these sit
ting are open to the use Of people other
than those who pay for them should they
chance to enter the building first.
Rev. DR.. Hatch of the First Congrega-
tionaI Church a short time ago openly de-
nounced from the pulpit the system of
pew-renting and his remarks were the
topics of many freside talks on the part of
his flock.
Though DR.. ketchum has said nothing
as yet from the pulpit regarding the rent.
ing system he has taken the opportunity
of giving expression to the situation
through the columns cf THE CALL. Follow
is what he has to say:

vender has quietly sold two for nickel,

man, and does not indulge IN much con-
versation with those who patronize him.
His boon ompanion is a cat, and it was
the painful result of this cats bad habits
that drew the crowd to-day. On the tele-
graph-post alongside Antone's peanut
stand is little shelf on which rests the
ladder with which the lineman commences
his ascent. This little shelf was chosen
many months ago by Antone's cat as a
favorite place for her afternoon doZe.
After time the peanut man noticed
that his cat spent most OF her time on the
shelf, and one day she fell off on TO the
sidewalk and her owner thought she was
dead. He watched her and soon discov-
cred that she was intoxicated. AS mat
ter of fact the cat was hasheesh fiend.
Immediately under the shelf is the
chimney of the peanut-roas.er and from
it escapes the fumes from the charcoal,
with which the nuts are cooked. The cat
soon discovered that the fumes produced
an agreeable feeling of stupefaction and it
rapidly learned the habit Of smoking itself
into inconsistencies. After learning of
the joys of charcoal fume-inhaling the
cat evidently communicated its discovery
to other cats and they, too, showed keen
appreciation of the habit.
Then war commenced for place. The
shelf can only accommodate a cat and a
half, and as half dozen pussies were ali
striving to be the Cat and Indifferent as to
who had the half place, there was a pitched
battle and some lively scratching. An
tones pet rapidly succumbed and her
owner settled the difficulty by shifting his
roaster to the other side of his stand.
