The Pope and church Music.

LONDON, July 14.-The vatican has
called upon the French bishops to sup
ply information as to the different
kinds of ecclesiastical music in their
dioceses and the pope is preparing in
structions on the subject, with the in
tention of inaugurating certain re-
forms, including the abolition of female
voices at liturgical services. While
approving of instrumental music, his
holiness thinks it should be limited to
the use of the harp and the gentler
wind instruments, the violin being
discarded as sensual and profane. The
music of Haydn and Mozart does not
meet with the pope's approval.

Some Interesting Figures of the Number at
San francisco.
SAN FRANCISCO, July l4.-At length
it is possible to state, with n close APP
proach to exactitude, how many dele
gates attended the Christian Endeavor
convention. The registration commit
tee has made report by states and
counties of the number of people regis
tered. The total number of people
from other states, territories and
foreign countries in attendance is H.
224. From California the registration
is 1884, making total of
23,9ls. From these figures it will
be seen that the actual attendance
upon the convention is surprisingly
close to the advance estimates that
were made. Outside of California the
biggest delegation was from Illinois,
that state sending 1,Os3, Iowa being
next, Pennsylvania third, followed by
Ohio, New York. Missouri and Massa-
chusetts in the order named. 1t is in
teresting to note that the women from
all places outside of the state were al
most twice as numerous as the men,

Loadon's Mud Diet.

There is nothing like dealing with
large figures, and 10 doubt the statement
by scientific person that Londoners
drink in the course Of year 1000 tons
Of mud will appear to many to disclose
a terrible and most dangerous state Of
things. Nothing could be further from
the truth. 4 thousand tons Of mud
would mean, perhaps, about half a
pound Of mud to each person. 1t will be
certainly not too much to assume that
each half pound Of mud does not con-
tain more than two ounces Of solid
matter, probably much less. Now il Is
certain that in the course of the three
or four windy days in March each per
son in the air all day will draw in fully
an ounce Of dust, as much as he will
swallow in water during six months.
A railway traveller who takes a few
hours journey in dry weather has but
TO look at the state Of his coat and Of
the carriage seat TO form an idea Of the

were lifted far from the surface Of the

The stuff has been known to resist the

That foot, too, was heavily laden with
the same solt Of mud and the momen-
tum Of it had a similar effect.
IS each foot became heavier by the
accumulated weight Of gumbo each
other foot became heavier, too, so that
the increasing brake upon the pedes-

the increasing momentum furnished.
