CARDINAL GIBBONS IN CANADA.

Montreal, April 17.-Cardinal Gibbons,
who is here on his way to Quebec to at
tend Cardinal Taschereau's funeral,
preached in ST. Patrick's church. There
was very large congregation. 1t was
expected that his Eminence would refer
to the war situation. The congregation
was disappointed in this, as his Eminence
simply spoke on the dignity of the
Christian life. During the day Cardinal
Gibbons received a large number of
callers. He denied the reports that he had
been acting on behalf OF the Pope to
secure peace. Archbishop Ireland, under
instructions from Rome. had done his
utmost to bring about peaceful solution,
but without success, as Congress was
evidently determined upon war. Cardinal
Gibbons will leave for Quebec tomorrow.

In Life and Letters OF Harriet

anecdote illustrative of the peculiar
faculty of Professor Stowe OF seeing
visions. From early youth he had pos
sessed the singular power of seeing
moving about him persons who could
not be perceived by others. Mrs. Stowe
during her residence at Andover plan
ned to go to Boston one day on bust
ness. Making her preparations hur-
riedly she bade the household farewell
and rushed to the station, only to see
the train go out as she arrived. There
was nothing to do but to return home
and wait patiently for the next train;
but wishing not to be disturbed. she
quietly opened a side door, crept noise
lessly up the staircase leading to her
own room. and sat down by her writ
ing table In the window. She had
been there about half an hour when
Professor Stowe came in. looked about
him with a preoccupied air. but did
not speak to her. She thought his be-
havior strange. and amused herself by
watching him; at last the situation
became so extraordinary that she be-
gan to laugh. WHY" he exclaimed

fused by deep crimson flush, that
rising from his neck. overspread his
face and even slightly tinged his broad
forehead, which, bronzed where it had
been exposed to the weather, was

had been shielded by his hat-deep
brown eyes, n firm but well-shaped
Roman nose, abundant gray hair, silky
and fine In texture. with full gray
beard and mustache, neatly trimmed
and not over long, but which neverthe-
less almost completely concealed his
mouth. A splendid uniform of Confed-
crate gray cloth, that had evidently
seen but little service, was closely but
toned about him and fitted him to per-
fection. An exquisitely mounted sword
attached to II gold-embroidered Russia

floor at his side, and in his right hand
he carried n brOnd-brimmed soft gray
felt hat, enclrcied by golden cord,

still vigorous and erect, he stood bare
headed looking out of the open door

and n gentleman. bearing himself in
defeat with an all-unconscious dignity
that sat well upon him.

EFFECT OF WORRY.
It Has Very Had Influence Upon tn
Brain.


Modern science has brought to light
nothing more curiously interesting than
the fact hat worry will kill. More re-
markable still, 1t has been able to de-
termine, from recent discoveries, just
how worry does kill.
1t Is believed by many scientists who
have followed most carefully the
growth of the science of brain diseases
that scores of the deaths set down to
other causes are due to worry, and that
alone. The theory Is simple one-so
simple that anyone can readily under
stand 1t. Briefly put, 1t amounts 10 this:
Worry Injuries beyond repaid certain
cells of the brain; and the brain be-
Ing the nutritive center Of the body,
the other organs become gradually in
jured, and when some diseases of these
organs, or combination of them,
arises, death finally ensues.
Thus does worry kill InsidiOusly,
like many another disease, 1t creeps
upon the brain In the form of n single,
constant, never-lost idea; and, as the
dropping Of water over period Of
years will wear n groove in stone,
so does worry gradually imperceptibly,
but no less surely, destroy the brain
cells that lead all the rest-that are, so
to speak, the commanding officers of
mental power, health, and motion.
Worry, to make the theory still
stronger Is an irritant Mt certain
points, which produces little harm il 1t
comes at intervals or irregularly. Oc-
casional worrying of the system the
brain can cope with, but the iteration
and reiteration of one idea of dis
quieting sort the cells of the brain are
not proof against. II is as II the skull
were laid bare and the surface OF the
brain struck lightly with n hammer
every few seconds, with mechanical
precision, with never n sign of let-up
or the failure of n stroke.
Just In this way does the annoying
idea, the maddening thought that will
not be done away with strike or fall
upon certain nerve cells, never ceasinc.
and week by week diminishing the vi
tality of these delicate organisms that
are so minute that they can only be
seen under the microscope.

TO the structural peculiarities of war
ships as compared with the different
constructive points of non-fghting ves-
sells, the storage Of fuel and ammuni-
tion, the prerogatives Of men-of-war
officers. the comparative rigidity OF
discipline Of American naval crews and
the crews Of foreign warships and
other data bearing more or less direct
ly on the battle ship explosion In Ha-
vana harbor. Net much has been said
OF the daily naval life Of the "man
forward" for the conditions under
which the blue jacket lives on board
modern man-of-war are little known
or understood in this country.
The enlisted man of the navy Of the
United States Is even more interesting
as an individual and as n servitor OF
the flag than the enlisted man of the
army, and n man of no less experience
and brains than Rudyard Kipling
maintains that "the man that packs the
gun has more character in the crook OF
either of his arms than all his officers
have In their whole construction" In
the United States army there are in

I've read all that I care to read
about their drills and their work and
their discipline" said Washington
man the other day. in talking about
American naval sailors. but what l
want to find out is what the four or

The main idea OF most persons who
are unfamiliar with the life OF the man
forward on a man Of war Is that the
tedium OF such an existence can hardly
be little short OF unbearable. The. can
understand how the officials might find
1t possible to put In their sea service
comfortably and enjoyably. and As a
rule they can see nothing for It but
general twiddllng Of thumbs on the
part OF the whole ships company Dor
ward Of a man OF war when the men
are not actually engaged In earning
their monthly money by the sweat OF
their brows. There are frequent inter
walls during the progress OF the routine
OF the naval day when the smoking
lamp at the break OF the fo'c'sle is
alight. and when there is glow In
the smoking lamp that means that
there is nothing for any man forward
to do but to loaf and invite his soul or
