The Pope Approves "AmerIcanism. .,

Rome, March 3.-The impression pre-
walls here that the pope's letter to Car
dinal Gibbons approves real "American-
ism" and condemns those who had mis-
represented it. The pope collected, ex-
amined and definitely repudiated all such
misrepresentation. Evidently he be-
lieves that the things so alleged never
existed in America, for the American
bishops would have denounced them, and
his holiness thus yindicates true "Amer.
icanism."

The Cabbage Question.

New York Commercial Advertiser.
A news item claims boiled cabbage as
cure for drunkenness, and asserts that the
ancient Egyptians partook of it If they In
tended to take wine at their dinner. 1t
may be that boiled cabbage will drive the
Kelley cure out of business; but the news
item, as it stands, suggests doubts. II the
ancient Egyptians partook of boiled cab
bage before drink, it not that the
drink would not so quickly go TO their
heads? And if that was so, is 1t not natural
to suppose that they really drank more
than they would without the cabbage? and
if they drank than they otherwise
would was not the cabbage a curse rather
than a blessing? Before plunging reckless
ly into the cabbage habit, 1t would be We'll
to face fearlessly these questions, and 10
assure ones self that the last state Of
man would not be worse than the first. A
prominent authority has just declared that
alcoholism is the curse of the age; and
while boiled cabbage may serve TO hide
some Of the evident results of alcohol, were

sally adopted. Then there is another pos

Kleptomania judging from the papers,

sity to commit the acts which they 1ncite.
The necessity exists, however. In the case
of jewel robbery which occurred at the
home of the lady who was Lewis CarrolPs

demonstrated. The thief a friend of the
lady, was a bride. Suspected and accused,
her husband made her bring suit for SLAM

of it was not apparent. Another case Oc-

culprit turned out to be young woman
connected by birth and marriage with the
owners Thereafter when from household
which she had visited anything was missed
the owner would go to her kiss her and ask

that time there was a journalist about town
who was both a social favorite and an able
man. He kept a bachelor establishment in
which it was his amiable habit to entertain
those who had entertained him. There of
an afternoon or of an evening people would
gather and take back from his drawing
theirs. There was never word exchanged
on the subject. Perfect courtesy prevailed.
Then there was young fellow whose name
figures in the early history of the United
States. AT a dinner which he attended, a
ring handed about for inspection disap-
