LONDON, March 19.-Cardinal Vaughan
is reported to have received information
leaving little doubt that the pope has de-
cided to raise Archbishops Corrigan and
Ireland to the cardinalate and accord a
similar honor to another, a British prel-
ate. 1t is unlikely that these appoint
ments will be announced at the forth
coming consistory, because the pro-

Nevertheless, if it is permissibleSo ap-

that Ireland or Corrigan will receive the

can scarcely live till the next consistory,

TWO OF EN-.

Here is a story of Patrick O'Mars,
private in the Ninth United States
regulars: Not long ago he went to
the colonel, who was a severe disciple
marian, for a two weeks leave of abb
sence.
WELL" said the colonel, what do
you want two weeks furlough for?"
Patrick answered: ''Me wolfe is very
sick, and the children are not well, and
if We didn't mind, she would like to
have me home for a few weeks to give
her bit of assistance"
The colonel eyed him for few min
tes, and said: Patrick, l might grant
your request, but I got letter from
your wife this morning saying that she
didn't want you home; that you were
a nuisance, and raised a row when
ever you were there. She hopes l
won't let you have any more fur
loughs."
"That settles it. I suppose 1 can't
get the furlough, them" said Pat.
mo, I'm afraid not, Patrick. 1t
wouldn't be we'll for me to do so I'M
der the circumstances"
1t was Patrick's turn now to eye the
colonel, as he started for the door.
Stopping suddenly, he said:
Colonel, can I say something to
yez?"
Certainly, Patrick; what is it?"
''You won't get mad, colonel, if I say
it?"
Certainly not, Patrick; what is it?"

BICYCLES AND DOGS.
Wheelmen Have Rights Which Owners
of CANNES Must Respect.

The civil tribunal of the Seine re-
Gently decided point which will be of
intense interest to the cyclists of New
York, who have been so pestered and
worried by barking and swapping dogs
along the cycle paths of the city and
country roads of the suburbs. The
Paris court has decided that the own
ers of dogs may be held responsible for
injuries received by bicyclists when
falls are due to dogs.
The test case was that Of a dog be-
longing to resident of the Bougival,
which ran after a wheelman barking
and swapping at his feet and legs.
In chasing the troublesome animal
the cyclist lost his balance, fell from
his wheel and broke a very valuable
cigarette case which he carried in his
pocket.
The cyclist claimed 500 francs dam
ages from the owner of the annoying
animal. The case was hotly contested,
as it was looked upon as test one,
and the court finally awarded the
plaintiff 200 francs damages. N. Y.

HYGIENIC DESK.

A professor, describing the different
styles of scholastic furniture, has laid
down the law that that stern task
mistress hygiene demands that the
desk or table at which the scholar
writes shall be coincident with the
height of the epigastric cavity, which
is the name by which the modern
schoolgirl designates the upper portion
of the pear-shaped receptacle for food
which plays such an important part in
digestive operations. The reason for
this elevation seems to be that at this
height the bust is upright and the
chest is clear of the table. With a
view, therefore, to avoid shortsight-
edness, curvature of the spine, and
similar maladies, which threaten the
Industrious student chained to an I'M

of the desk is carried by two side
pieces of wood which rest on hollow
telescope columns of metal, the inner
column containing a spring. Sur
rounding the wooden side piece is a
collar, which is frightened by means of
a screw when the required height is

burst out crying.
"Miss Baptiste! Curtains waiting!
Hurry up!" yelled a small youth at the
door.
LET it wait; can't comet" replied
the dancer, CURLY. Then, in a soft,
gentle voice to Gwendoline: Don
cry, dear, you have been ever so kind.
I know you meant well by coming
But don't think l had better see him
again; you'll make a much better wife
than L" There was a suspicious
break in her voice.
''No, no." said Gwendoline, between
her sobs, blushing violently; Il never
thought of that only care for him
as a sister," but as she said it she real
lied that she lied.
come, dry your eyes-why I'm be-
ginning now! What pretty pair we
are! Poor Ted! Why, here are two
nice girls, each trying to make the 9th

''You-you-will marry him. Prom
Use! I shall never forgive myself ii
you don't. I did not know you were
so good and beautiful.
"Why, how do you know it now?
Perhaps I am only humbugging you. .
''You are mott see it in your eyes
You will marry him-won't you?"
what will father and mother
say?'
ooh, I'll interview them,'' laughed
Gwen, drying her eyes.
Gwen as you interview me! Yes, I
will marry Teddy, if you really wish
it, but not else. I couldn't hurt such
a good little thing as you.
And then both women began to cry
again, holding each others hands.
The manager had to announce that
Miss Madge Baptiste was unable to
perform that night.
And Miss Gwendoline Harper also
announced in Col. Langley's drawing
room that Madge Baptiste and her
cousin Ted were quite right to marry
each other, and that she would help
them through the ceremony.
And Ted kissed her and said she
was a brick, and the colonel hoisted
the white flag.
And after it was all over, Gwendo-
line sat in her bedroom, holding a
photo of her cousin in her hand. And
her tears splashed dismally on the
faded portrait. ''I hope she will love
him-as much as T love him." she
said, softly. Madame.

attained, and on relieving the pressure
on the collar by turning the screw in
the reverse direction, the top Of the
desk is still further elevated automat-
ically by the action of the spring, or it
can be depressed by applying sufficient
force to overcome the resistance of
the spring, and the collar again tight
ened when the user of the desk is sat-
isfied with it's height. By means of
another mechanical arrangement, a
portion of the top of the desk can be
either inclined or fiat to- suit the con-
venience or taste of it's owner 1t
will thus be seen that the desk can be
used either sitting or standing.

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

Watch a sod orchard. 1t will begin
to fail before you know it.
Potash is the chief fertilizer to be dp-
piled to fruit trees, particularly after
they come into bearing.
Probably nine-tenths of the apple
orchards are in sod, and many of them
are meadows. Of course they are fail
ing.
Potash may be had in wood ashes,
and muriate of potash. 1t is most
commonly used in the latter form. An
annual application of potash should be
made upon bearing orchards, 900
pound to the acre.
Phosphoric acid is the second most
important fertilizer to be applied arti
f1cially to orchards Of the plain SUI
perphosphates, from 800 to 500 pounds
may be applied to the acre.
Barn manures are generally more
economically used when applied to
farm crops than when applied to or
chards; yet they can be used with good
results, particularly when rejuvenating
the old orchards.
Cultivation may be stopped late in
the season, and crop can then be
sown upon the land. This crop may
serve as a cover or protection to the
soil and as a green manure. Prof.
Bailey in Rural World.

THE HEAT OF THE SUN.

1t is estimated that the earth re-
ceives not more than one thousand
millionth part of the total radiation of
the suns rays. If. any considerable
proportion of this heat were con-
centrated upon the earth it would not
only become uninhabitable, but be-
come speedily consumed. If the great
accumulation of ice at the north pole
were placed at point on which this
tremendous heat could be focused it
would melt at the rate of three hum
dred millions of miles of solid ice per
second, and the heat is estimated to
generate energy at the rate of about
ten thousand horse power to every
square foot of surface.

HOW LONG WE HAy e TO LIVE.

There is very simple rule for find
ing the average number of years which
persons of any age may expect to live.
If the present age be deducted from
80, two-thirds of the remainder is The
answer required. This result is not
absolutely accurate, but it is near
enough. For instance, man aged 90
might, by this rule, expect to live 40
years longer, which is just what the
latest actuarial tables give. At 46 the
expectation of life works out at nearly
II years, while the tables give it as
more than 25 years. At so the above
rule allows just over 10 years, and the
table shows a little less.
