The DRAMA at the Vatican.

Theatricals in the vatican! The an

Pope Leo has hitherto allowed no the

GEMS OF THOUGHT.

He is fool who cannot be angry; but
he is a wise man who will not.-Seneca.
Negligence is the rust of the soul that
corrodes through all her best resolu-
tions.-Feitham.
The man who is never tried never
knows himself. 1t is only in the fur
mace heat that the soul learns it's own
strength and weakness.
Weigh your own faults with the scales
of justice, but when you consider the
shortening of your neighbor, borrow
the balances of charity.
The truest help we can render an
afflicted man is not to take his burden
from him, but to call out his best en-
ergy, that he may be able to bear the
burden.-Phillips Brooks.

BITS OF PHILOSOPHY.

If man has kin it is equivalent to
having troubles.
There are so many more mean men
than good that a good man is always
under suspicion.
People rush around on Monday as
though they were ashamed of having
been idle on Sunday.
Very few men are as confident in
making assertions in their wives pres
ence as when they are absent.
Whenever two women get together
and there is man in an adjoining room
they soon begin to whisper.
The really sincere women are those
whose prayers at night in cold room
are never abbreviated by the condition
of the thermometer. - Washington

Boys and Girls Chamber Into Punts
and Pole Home.
A description of life in the Serbian
swamps, Vendland, runs as follows, says
the Century:
School out" at the village school of
Burg is pretty sight. The substantial
brick building overlooks the ever muir
muring highway, and the boys and
girls, instead of stringing up dusty
road, tumble into punts and pole away
for dear life-the boys much like other
boys, but the girls reduced to fac
SMILES of their mothers and elder sis
tiers, clad in bright but short raiment
and visible afar off through their
strange mob caps with wings. AS one
moves down the stream from Burg by
Leipe to Lubbenau these wings grow
smaller and collapse, while the skirts
grow longer and more resemble the or
binary dress of women. At dance the
Spreewalder knows instantly, by the
peculiarities of her costume, from what
village q woman OF girl has come. At
Leipe the multitudinous skirts of
alarming girth are no more. The gown
reaches the ankles, and the cap fits close
to the head instead of resting on q
framework as in Burg. Thus the dress
in Leipe is perhaps more graceful, but
it is more commonplace. 1t no longer
testifies to that pride of the peasant ia
ther or husband which is shown by the
number of yards in the skirts of his
woman folk and the variety of then
caps, by the richness of their dress as
well as their jewelry.

WORK DONE BY THE SUN.
1t Daily Raiaes PAS. 900, 600, 900 Tons of
Water.


Water.
It has repeatedly been proposed to
make use of the enormous power issu-
ing from the sun in the shape of heat
rays. What enormous amount OF labor
is done by the sun on this earth alone
is evidenced in part by the circulation
of water on the earths surface. Every
day the heat of the sun turns into
vapor a large amount of water on all
the watery surfaces, and these rising
vapors are far above us converted into
clouds, which the cool currents of air
carry overland to countries which are
not blessed with plenty of the fluid
element, and upon further condensa-
ton the clouds in the shape OF rain
fall upon the earth. In smaller or
larger quantities water streams again
toward the sea, and during this course
man undertakes to withdraw from the
water part of the stored-up power OF
the sun, using it for Industrial pur-
poses. The Paris meteorologist, Prof.
Metericht estimates the quantity OF
water turned into vapor by the sun in
the Mediterranean sea alone on clear,
hot summer day at not less than $780,
000, 900 tons. AT that rate the quantity
of water taken from the entire globe
on one hot day within the limits Of the
temperate and tropical zones would
amount to not less than 245,000, 900
tons.

Painful Accident.

George Mackin, Henry Snyder and
William Sauerbrine, of Mt. Savage,
rode on the bumper of hopper from
that place to their work at the New
York Mining company's mine, east of
this place, Tuesday morning. AT the
switch the train stopped to drop the
hopper, but before they had time to
get off train from the rear ran into
and jammed the cars of the standing
train together with such force that "a
coupler of car overlapped that of the
hopper on which the miners were
sitting, their legs hanging between the
bumper platforms. These came to-
gether, crushing Snyder and Mackin's
legs so badly that each had to have a
leg amputated. Sauerbrine, though
painfully hurt, was able to walk home.
Mackin died during the afternoon.

Gov. Lowndes has fixed Friday,
June %, as the day for executing
Simon Hommer, who killed Samuel
McCarrier in Cumberland about a
year ago. From much that the JOUR
NAL has heard of Hommer, it is to be
doubted whether the extreme penalty
of the law should be measured out to
him. 1t might be economy to kill
him, but more humane considerations
suggest confinement in some place of
detention where he can never suffer or
do harm.

A New Society.


FRosTBURG, MD, April q, 1897.
To the MINING JOURNAL.
Efforts are being made to form a
new society in Frostburg to be called
The Welsh Mutual Improvement
Society,"
The people whom the English call
"Welsh," but who call our Cymry
(from "Cym" and "6ro," meaning a5o-
riginals) are the immediate descendants
of the ancient Brit0ns, an offshoot of the
Celtoe, who inhabited wide tracts of
Asa and Europe in PIE historic times.
In the little prlncipality of Wales
these people have kept their language
Spoken in the ears of Julius Caesar)
made on 1t by their neighbors, the
Saxons, for thirteen hundred years.
The Cymry Kymry have history, and
many excellent traits of character,
well worthy to be handed down to their
posterity in America, who, by force
of circumstances, are losing their
mOther-tongue amid the English-speak-
ing population.
The constitution OF this Society is
purely unsectarian its chief aim is to
bring all Welshmen and their descend
ants in the town of Frostburg and
vicinity into closer touch for mutual
Improvement in all things pertaining
to their welfare.
1t is contemplated to gain this de-
desirable object by conversation in the
Society's meetings: by lectures on diff
ferent subjects by able speakers; by
concerts to improve the Welsh talent
for music, and by all other legitimate
and praiseworthy means as circum-
stances will develop.
The Society will rally around this
ancient motto:
"Da bawb'
translation-Drwg neb.
The next meeting will be held in the
vestry of the Welsh Baptist church
next Monday evening at u o'clock,
when new members will be enrolled
and the bylaws discussed. =
