POPE LEO'S WINE HARVEST.

Thanks to the marvellous strength
OF his constitution, the pope seems to
have rallied slightly from his recent
illness, and has been able to devote
his attention to a yearly function,
which possesses some little import
ance, though it lies quite outside the
sphere of his ecclesiastical duties,
namely, the gathering of the grape
harvest in the grounds of the Vatican,
says The New York Tribune. The
vineyards of the latter extend over
several acres, and yield an average Of
six thousand bottles of an excellent
wine, which enjoys great favor among
the p~relateS and in those religious
communities which permit the US Of
stimulants. Much of the wealth of the
Pecci family, to which the pope belongs
is derived from the produce of their
vineyards. and it is from them that
the present pontiff has inherited his
pronounced taste for this particular
form of agriculture. The holy father
invariably manifests the strongest in
terests in the character and quantity
of the yield of the Vatican vineyards.
and rarely allows a year TO pass with
out paying a visit to the presses where
the men are engaged in extracting the
juice from the grape.

AIR-GUN AND BIRDS.

A Suggestion for the Consideration of
Parents.
The following communication from
a correspondent is timely, says the
Providence Sunday Journal. Even in
the country this spring the hands of
small boys are busted with this mis-
chief-dealing weapon, and the birds,
not alone the English sparrow, but the
dear, tamest of our New England
friends, are slaughtered, with cruel
manning, in numbers. Even kindly
fathers, friendly to feathe~ed and
their sons. 1t is o~ftenest done thought
lessly, and the remonstrance may
quicken attention:
THAT protection for dumb animals
is needed every day no n car deny
who thinks at all upon the subject,
and that education in this respect is
equally needed is evinced by the in
difference that one meets in very
many cases where our duty toward
animals is urged. One proof of this
fact is seen in the general use of such
a dangerous %plaything as the air
gun among the boys of our state. TO
a lover of animals, birds especially, it
seems astonishing that any parent can
give into the hands of a child a toy
that is as dangerous as a small re-
volyer. Armed with this means OF de-
struction, and with small ability as a
marksman, the child becomes an active
element of danger to every one in his
neighborhood. Many accidents to other
children have already happened from
the use of air-guns, and the lessons
OF cruelty that the boy himself re-
ceives and gives to others in shooting
at birds, cats and dogs, are countless
and evil results. TO kill for the
mere sake of killing, to wound and in
dict a lingering, agonizing death on
harmless and inof'ensive creatures, is
q certain way to learn brutality and
indifference TO suffering hat is sure to
end in crime, Legislation that will
place the aiT-gun on the list of
articles whose unrestricted sale is
Illegal is much to be desired, and effort
ought to be made at once to obtain 1t.
The m~uCh-abused sparrow has friends
among naturalists who declare his to
be a useful insect-eating bird, while
others declare him a pest. If it is de-
cided, however, that he is a nuisance
and must be eNterminated, let the work
be given to some responsible person
who will see that the birds are killed
with as little suffering as possible. a
bounty for their heads ought never to
be offered, as it gives liberty for in
discriminate slaughter. The recent
experience in Illinois resulting from
such a course is ample proof of its
folly.
THE Humane Journal Of January,
1892. published in Chicago, says of
it, Many cases Of eyes partially or
wholly destroyed by air-guns were re-
ported by surgeons in the first fort
night after the bounty vas offered,
and between 1000, 600 sparrows or To-
zoe boys armed with the air-gun. any
sensible ]two-eyed person will choose
the sparrow every time

Mr. McIlinIex,s Mistake.

II the newspapers reflect public senti-
ment correctly Mr.. Mckinley has made a
mistake In selecting Senator Sherman for
the important position Of Secretary of
State. Nothing unkind is being said of
Senator Sherman either by the newspa-
pers or his associates in the Senate but it
is noticeable that nothing is being said that
can be construed as approving the act OF
the President-elect in making him the head
of his cabinet.
The fault that is found with Senator
Sherman is that he has very little acquain-
lance with such questions as he will have
to deal with in the state department, and
he is vacilating in all matters pertaining
to our relations with other nations It is
well understood that the most important
matter the Mckinley administration will
have to deal with on coming into power is
that relating to the Cuban Instruction
What has been Senator Sherman's attitude
in respect to that question? AS chairman
of the committee on foreign relations there
ought not to exist in the public mind any
doubt as to what his views on it are? 1t
is doubtful however, if anybody Is in a
position to say whether he approves the
stand taken by the Cleveland administra
ton in respect to the Cuban trouble or not
He has been quoted very recently as ap-
proving the course which has been pursued
by Mr.. Cleveland, and also as denying that
he approved it. 1t is well known that he
has both approved and disapproved the
Cameron resolution granting the Cubans'
independence. He has said that he would
vote for it and also that he would vote
against It.
AS a matter of fact Senator Sherman has
aged greatly within the last few years.
Once he had a splendid memory; now he is
so forgetful that he makes very grave
plumbers
Why. il is frequently asked, did Mr. Nc
Kinley choose him for the highest position
in his cabinet? The only answer that has
been given to that question is that he
wanted to make a place in the Senate for
Mr. Hanna, the latter having great am
bition to serve his state as United States
senator. Mr.. Mckinley is certainly IN
der very great obligations to Mr. Hanna,
but because he is, he is not bound to can
eel these Obligations by putting an unfit
man in his cabinet.
1t is not improbable that he would have
offered Senator Sherman some other cabi-
net position if the senator would have ac-
cepted it. Senator Sherman, however, if
reports are to be believed, wouldn't &C
cept any other one of the cabinet posi-
tons. Knowing his power he demanded
and got what he wanted.
He may disappoint his critics. There
will be no regrets if he does. Still, the
chances are that he will prove to be
failure.

He Got There First.

There is small town in one of the east
ern states, not far from Boston. whose
inhabitants take great pride in excelling
every other town in their vicinity, saws
Harper's Round Table. They try every
new invention, and if it has any sort of
merit it is sure to be assigned to duty in
some part of the place. Two portly gen
tiemen, one sea captain and the other a
lawyer, both retired from active life, were
the prime movers in the experiments and
adoptions, and naturally in the course of
time they failed to agree. Extreme jeal-
ousy then prevailed, and a bitter animos-
ity sprang up between them.
Unfortunately these two gentlemen liv-
ed next door to each other-in fact. so
close were their houses that the side walls
almost adjoined. One very windy night
the lawyer was reading book in his study
when a terrific crash upstairs startled
him. Upon investigation he found that an
unruly chimney had ruthlessIy hurled it.
self through his roof, doing considerable
damage. That in itself was a matter of
great annoyance, but when he discovered
1t was the sea captains chimney that was
responsible, his wrath knew no bounds.
Fastening down to his library he pulled
out his law books and hunted up similar
cases, devising and scheming how he
could secure satisfaction from the detest-
able captain. While thus engaged a note
arrived from his enemy that read as fol-
lows:
'Sir-If you don't return those bricks at
once, will put the matter in the hands of
the law"
