Rome, March 2l.-Tha Pope's
physician, DR.. Lapponi, and Pro-
lessor Mazzoni visited his Holt
ness at 5 o'clock this afternoon
and found his general health good
and the seat of the recent opera
ton in excellent condition.
While conversing with them the
Pope expressed deep grief at the
false stories circulated rs TO his
health, especially the reports
about second operation, which
had so disturbed Catholics deeply
interested in his welfare.

The Cabinet is most certainly
right in refusing the grounds OF
the Executive building to the Sun
day school rally. If one church lie
given the privilege the others will
follow and cannot be refused with
the result that the government
grounds will become head
quarters for semi-picnic gather
ings.

THE NEW MINISTER.

The appointment of Z. A. Mott
Smith to the position of Minister
of Foreign Affairs will be gener-
ally accepted as good one. 1t is
q graceful compliment to memory
of the elder Mott-Smith who
served the country we'll at Wash
ington during the days of its inde
pendence and q fitting recognition
of the young men OF the territory
who, il they had been asked, could
not have named better represen
tative than E. A. Mott-Smith.
The new Minister is an untried
factor in politics to be sure but he
has an excellent record in the
business community and Can
safely be placed as representa-.
tive Of the progressive element oil
the territory. He knows the
country and it's people and while
not carrying extended executive
experience to the department OF
education, it is fair to say that as
the trials of the Office are heaped
upon him he will not be found
wanting. Mr.. Mott Smith is to
be congratulated:

WILL CALL AT SAN FRANCISCO

San Francisco, Mar. 22.-The
California and Oriental Steam
ship Company's steamer Belgian
King will leave Hongkong on the
Goth OF this month and stop at
ports in japan. Contrary to ex
pectations at the time the Santa
Fe Steamship system was in
augurated, the Belgian King will
stop at San Francisco before pro-
ceeding to San Diego. This does
not imply, however, that this port
is to be the terminus of the line,
though it means a great deal to
the business community in the
sense that San Francisco will
practically be given all the ad-
vantages of competing freight
line.
Local Agent George DERRICK re
ceived word today from headquar-
tiers that the steamer would call
here, and the matter is of con-
siderable importance to shippers
who have trad relations with the
Orient. The Belgian King is
one of three steamers chartered by
the Santa Fe people for their
Oriental line. She is a large
carrier. Should she be successful
in securing business here, it is a
foregone conclusion that the line
will make regular stops at this
port.

playthings.

It's the most natural thing in the
world that little children should grow
tired of wax dolls and mechanical tons
at this season and want to play out
OF doors, and kind nature as if realiz-
ing this fact. has been good enough to
provide any number of playthings with
which to keep her children's minds and
little fingers occupied during these
long, glorious summer days. Did you
ever know that from acorns you can
make a perfectly fascinating little tea
set, such as our grandmothers used to
take delight in making when they, too
were little girls, long ago? For this
tea set you must gather, if possible,
two kinds of acOrns-large ones, hav-
ing tit, shallow cups, and the smaller
ones, with rOunder, deeper cups-for
the shallow acorn cups make the sau-
GERS and the smaller ones the cups A
charming teapot is made from big
acorn by adding a nose and a handle
from piece of match, and by cutting
OH the top to make cover. For the
cream pitcher and sugar bowl take two
more acOrns, cut off the tops, scrape
out the inside of the nut and put on
handles in the same way you did for
the teapot. When completed you have
a set fit for fairy queen. OF course
there are lots of little mothers who
never see the use in anything unless it
can be converted into doll, so | think
they will be interested in knowing how
to make poppy dolls. First get poppy
that has gone to seed, and outline a
face in ink. You will not need to pro-
vide hat for this doll as the poppy
is already provided with one in the
shape of a futed green ridge, which
makes a very becoming piece of head
gear. A strip of bright colored tissue
paper forms the dress and another lit
tie piece the cape. Two pieces of match
can be inserted for the arms. Very
pretty flower dolls can be made from
hollyhocks and daisies. Pick one of
the hollyhock flowers, take off the
stem, then take a small bud, selecting
one in proportion to the body. and
make eyes, nose and mouth with ink.
The head can then be fastened to the
body with long pin or a piece of
broomcorn, which also serves to fasten
a gay little bonnet made of a pink or
any other flower you may wish to USE
All you have to do to turn a daisy into
a doll is to make the face on the vel
low center with ink, then pull out
some of the petals around the sides,
leaving enough on top to look like a
bonnet and two petals below for
strings. By adding a paper gown you
will have typical old lady in her sun

The Youth OF Famous Folk.

John Ericsson, the celebrated navi.
gator, inventor and builder of the
Monitor, was born in the province OF
Vermeland, Sweden, in 1903. His
father was a mine owner and his
brother was a civil engineer, who be-
came chief of the Swedish railways.
AS a boy, therefore, young Ericsson
had a chance to learn all about ma
chinery, and he early displayed great
interest in it. Before he was II years
old he made miniature sawmill and
was able to draw plans of all sorts OF
mechanical contrivances which he had
not the materials or the tools to make.
His interest in war was encouraged by
one of his teachers, a German en-
gineering officer, who had served with
the celebrated Swedish officer. Gen.
BernadOtte. The boys plans attracted
the attention of Count Platen, cele-
brated engineer, who secured him an
appointment with the Swedish corps
of mechanical engineers when he was
but II years old. When II years of
age he entered the Swedish army as
an ensign. After he had served sew
eral years in the army he removed to
England and made some unsuccessful
experiments with an engine to be run
by steam. In 1888 he discovered the
important use of the screw propeller in
navigation. He came to America in
1910, where aid was offered him in
putting his inventions into practice.
He built for the government the iron
clad steamer Monitor that successfully
fought the Merrimac in Hampton
Roads in 1862 and practically revolu-
tionized the navies of the world as it
made the introduction of ironclad YES.

garden path and out into the lane be-

certainly have been brought back, for
she was not allowed outside the gar

be busy at the moment. Only Wasp
heard the pattering of the little feet on
the gravel and the click of the gate
as it swung to after her, Now, Wasp

harm could possibly come to her. So
he just jumped at the idea of a walk.
and before Millicent had gone more
than a couple of yards down the lane
he was beside her, dancing round on
his hind legs and making playful little
snaps at the doll. "Oh, Waspie."

Steam In Place of Gunpowder.

Maj.-Gen. Schaw has suggested, be-
fore the institution of Mining Engin-
GERS in London, the substitution OF
water for gunpowder in blasting car
tridges used in coal mines. His plan
is to fill the cartridge with pure water,
insert 1t in the drill hole and then
steam by means of an electric current
of low tension. A cartridge made to
resist a pressure of $50 pounds per
square inch could be caused to burst,
according to Gen Schaw's calculations,
within about one minute after the
turning on of the current.

This Decision FavOrs Strikers.

In a decision rendered by Judge
Windes of the Appellate court.
Chicago, sitting as a circuit
judge, it has been decided that
striking workmen may use persua-
sion to induce other men to quit
work for firm against which strike
has been ordered. They also may visit
the factory or plant of the company
and use whatever peaceful means they
can to prevent others from working
are at work to quit. The decision was
announced in the suit of Frazer &
Chalmers, manufacturers, who got an
injunction against the Iron MOlders'
union restraining that organization
from approaching or in any way influ-
encing by personal contact the men
who took their places or intended to,
do so. On June 21 the wOrkmen en-

men were obtained to take their places

storekeeper at Tennessee. Thus ali the
realty of the colony sold for sl2,473.
The tract Of 1000 acres of land near
Tennessee City, which was sold for
Slab, originally cost the company
$4,000. The Rogers tract cost Sic, 900.
the Smith tract $4,000 and the Adams
tract $4,000, making a total of SIG. 500.
On this land about thirty houses have
been erected at cost of several thou
sand dollars. On the lastnamed tracts
there are mortgages aggregating about
$4,000, including the value of the
growing crops, which go with the land.
The association had failed by several
thousand dollars to get the first cost
on its property. After the real estate
had been disposed of the remainder of
the day was devoted to the sale Of
stock, in which neither the minority
nor the majority took any interest.
Horses sold at prices ranging from So
to SIS, while mules brought little
better figures. Fine hogs, purchased
at from $40 to $50 head, sold for IS
or Sc.
Just what the majority will do is
not fully determined. The Ruskin
commonwealth, composed Of fifty-five
Of the majority stockholders, has al
ready been organized, and will locate
colony of it's own at a point yet to be
selected. A letter has been received
from the immigration commissioner Of
Virginia urging the colony to come to
that state, and Offering them site
near Norfolk on favorable terms. A
proposition from Georgia and another
from Alabama are being considered.
While the new purchasers are not yet
ready to discuss their plans, 1t is un
derstood that they propose to conduct
an organization more on the individual
principle than the old one. An admis
sion fee will be charged, presumably
$500, and any member can withdraw at
pleasure, and will receive his money,
provided the money is in the treasury,
and if not there it will be paid as soon
as raised. Money will be paid for la
Dor instead of checks, and the member
ship will only be increased as there
is demand for more labor. One of the
fatal mistakes of the old organization,
the minority claim. was that this plan
was not adhered to. The new colony
will be devoted to manufacturing
rather than to farming. 1t is estimated
that the property, after deducting the
costs, will bring about $25,OOO mis-,
on basis of 1873 shares, will give each
shareholder nearly $3.50. To many of
the members of the colony this will be
all the money they have in the world,
and will be about enough to move
them to their former homes, or to en-
able them to begin life in a new colony
on smaller scale.

Mllicent, as she leaned over the OPEN

must be some water. But how am I
to get it?' Then suddenly catching
sight of the bucket, she seized it and

she said to the smiling doll, you sit
there while l let the pail down." and
she sat her on the brickwork of the
well with her little feet actually dang
ling over the side. Now for the ham
dle. cried Millicent, and putting forth
all her tiny strength, she managed to
turn it little way. Wasp, who had
been sitting quietly watching, sprang
up as the chain began to creak, and
with his paws on the edge of the we'll
began shifting the air to find out what
ever was making that curious noise.
Get down, Waspie! cried Millicent,
letting go Of the handle, and making
a rush at the dog, but alas! all in an
instant she slipped, made a clutch at
the we'll to save herself, and in doing
SO Jerked poor Dorothy ALAAde from
her seat. The next moment Millicent,
looking over the side of the we'll in
horror, was greeted by faint plash
from far below. She stood staring
down into the darkness for some mo-
ments before she could realize the
dreadful truth that her precious doll
was drowned. Then as it gradually
dawned on her that if she had been
obedient and stayed in the garden the
dreadful accident would never have
happened. she burst into tears. She
remembered, too, her mothers words
Above all things, child don't go neal

done, and very sadly she turned home

ing rather guilty, for had he not been
the innocent cause of the mishap?
Presently he tucked his cold nose into
her hand to show her how sorry he
was. ooh, Waspie." cried Millicent
1T wasn't your fault you dear thing;
it was all my doing, and now we shall
never have Dorothy Maude to play
with us any more" and her tears burst
out afresh. But they did. For when
the sad story was told at home, and
Mlllicent's mother saw that the little
girl was really sorry for her naughti
ness. she sent the gardener to see what
could be done. He went off to the
we'll, and with the help of long fish
ing-rod succeeded in bringing the
dripping doll to the surface. All her
beauty was gone, and the pale cheeks
of her favorite served as a constant
reminder to Millicent that disobedience
and all other kinds of naughtiness
have to be paid for" sooner or later
She served as warning to Millicen,
to be more obedient in the future.

A Deadly Motor OuadricycIe.

Military attaches in London have eX-
pressed considerable interest in a new
military motor quadricycle. The ma
chine is driven by an automatic petro-
leum motor. and mounts a twenty
seven pound automatic Maxim gun,
capable of discharging 500 rounds per
minute when travelling along at the
rate of fifteen miles an hour. The
driver is protected by a bullet-proof
steel shield of extreme lightness, while
in front of him within easy reach he
carries, on two specially designed
trays, 1000 rounds of ammunition in
cases, each containing 100 cartridges.
Should the machine be disabled, the
gun can be easily taken from the car
and mounted upon tripod. The other
day the operator sent his machine fly
ing around the track at the maximum
speed while he fired with startling
rapidity 100 rounds in volleys of ten
at stationary objects. The experiment
was witnessed by the military attaches
of the embassies of France, Germany,
and the United States, and by large
contingent from the British war Office.
