OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

A large congrega ton of men attended
the Jesuit Mission at the Sacred Heart
Church last night. Father Gillispie
took the Seventh Commandment as
the theme Of his instruction and clearly
described the number of ways that
commandment could be broken: es-
pecially in the everyday transactions
OF business man. The sermon was
preached by Father Gleason, who took
for the subject of his discourse 1.-THE
WIN of the Creature in Collision with
the Divine Will" The marked atten-
ton of the congregation showed that
those present were deeply interested
in the subject. Father Gleason dwelt
for some length on sin and its con-
sequences and demonstrated that all
the evils, International. national and
domestic were the result OF sin and
could he traced to that source. He
denounced the unscrupulous dealings
of trusts which he claimed were slowly
but surely crushing the poor and de-
priving them Of a means of existence.
Tonight Father Gillispie will take
for the subject of his sermon 1.-THE
Sanction of the Divine Judgment"

Selling shoes in Scotland.

A letter in the New York Times. re lating to some of the odd happenings of travel, contains the following exam. pie of sly Scottish humor:
 If 1t becomes necessary for a mar journeying through Scotland to pur chase pair of boots, he will find that he has a days work before him. Not only does he have to pay for the shoes but he has to try them on, lace or but ton them up, take them off, try on an other pair, and go through all the work himself, while the clerk stands by and looks on.
 Purchasing q pair of shoes in such a city as Glasgow, the customer has to sit in an ordinary chair, with a high, stiff back. There is no rest for the foot, nothing whatsoever in the way of accommodation.
 One day an American traveller had bought pair of shoes In Glasgow. As he was leaving the store, he said to the clerk:
 Have you ever heard of the way we buy shoes in America? We'll, there Is a rest placed on the floor in front of the customer, and on this rest the custom CT places hls foot. Just back of this rest is a seat on which the clerk sits and fits the customer"
 The clerk listened respectfully; then he leaned forward and whispered in the Americans ear:

 Probably in Constantinople, which has been described as he ''city of hoy els" there Is a greater contrast be tween the public and private buildings than in any other city in the world The streets are narrow, tortuOus anC dirty, and even the better class of pri vate houses are mean in comparison with those of a similar class in other countries. On the other hand, the mosques and palaces are magnifi, ent in size, design and materials of construc- ton, most of them being of marble white or gray.

Remarkable Gastronomica1 Feats of
 an EngIishman and an American.
 John Collins, who has lately distln- guished himself by swallowing ninety one pebbles and has just come out of Peterborough infirmary, where he has been in retirement as the consequence of his feat, no doubt thinks he has beaten the record. He is mistaken, however. A much more remarkable feat is recorded in the museum of Guys hospital, where they have some scraps of pocket knives that have been swal- lowed by one John Cummings, an Amer ican sailor. He and his mates went to a fair and saw mountebank doing some wonderful things in the way of swallowing knives. Most of them were greatly impressed by the performance, but Cummings made light of it and de clared he could do the same if he liked. On being dared to do 1t he took out his own pocket knife and bolted it. His shipmates were naturally delighted. They piled him with grog and affection ately encouraged him to still further achievements. Cummings boldly de clared his readiness to swallow all tue pocket knives on shipboard. Three were instantly offered him and he actu ally swallowed them all. One of the four he seemed to have permanently appropriated and for six years he ex- perimented no more in this way. Event ually; however, he tried few more of these somewhat indigestible articles of diet and, it was said, would swallow a knife with the utmost indifference.
 When Cummings told his story to the doctors, as, of course, he had to do in the end, they thought him a monoma- niac and were inclined to pay no at tention to it. External examination, however, showed that a metal point had perforated the wall of the stomach and induced the hospital authorities to ad- minister powerful solvents in order, if possible, to get rid of the obstructive fragment of this singular dietary. Per haps the stomach which had held out against pocket knives gave In to the doctors strong medicine. At all events the man died, and they have on show at Guys some forty or fifty scraps of metal blades and bits of handles and other component parts of pocket knives all testifying to the truth of the story the man had told and proving indispu tably that he had long been in the habit of amusing himself or astonishing his friends or perhaps turning m honest penny occasionally in this original way Collins certainly has beaten him by coming out of the infirmary alive.-LOn- don News.

What One Woman's Vanity Cost Her.
 A curious story comes from Monte Carlo, the heroine of which has, says the Paris correspondent of The Daily Telegraph, lost large sum through ex- cusable feminine vanity. She entered the salle while a former friend and protector of hers was winning in a sweeping style that seemed destined to break the bank. ''I am so glad to see you here, prince, and in such luck. tooI'' she exclaimed. "Do tell me a lucky number. It is sure to win, for you are now in the vein."

Modern Portraitnre.

Even the human countenance seems to reflect the changes of fashion. No one who studies modern portraiture can fail to note the resemblance that runs through the works of the fashion able painters. It Is not merely their characteristic style, but the type which they have transferred to canvas, and which borders on sameness. These we'll born, carefully trained beauties of to-day are as much alike as peas in one pod. They only vary ln degrees. Of course, the artist ''idealizes;" he would not be an artist did he not find more in the face before his easel than is visible at a glance. All the sumptuous detail of costume also adds to the variety of a picture; but in pose, in expression, there is traceable only this one woman of the end of the century, creature of superb physique, clothed or unclothed, like a royal princess. Compare her with the pictured women of one hundred or two hundred years ago, and see how altogether changed Is this eternal feminine"

THEY WANT TO TELL
These Grateful Women Who Have
 Been Helped by Mrs. Pinkham.

Women who have suffered severely and been relieved of their ills by Mrs. Pinkham's advice and medicine are constantly urging publication of their statements for the benefit of other wo- men. Here are two such letters:
 Mrs. LIZZIE BEVERLY, 25s Merrimac St., Lowell, Mass, writes:
 "It affords me great pleasure to tell all suffering women of the benefit have received from taking Lydia E. Pink hams Vegetable Compound.

 President Eliot replied. The build ing we most need now is new build ing for the law school.
 'Oh. said MT. Austin, I hate law yersl But what do you suppose such a building would cost2'
 ''The president thought a moment and replied: It would depend on the material used. An adequate building of brick could be built for from $6O. 900 to $7O,

IMMiGRATE PAUPERS
And Return to Their Native La. d as
 Wealthy Men.


 Wealthy Men.
 In an estimate made last year of the average amount brought by the Euro pean emigrant to America there has come to light the interesting fact that many land on our foreign shore home less, and too often friendless, with less than $10 for family. From this 1t may be gathered that, as the restric- tionists have long argued, we are the pOorhouse of the nations. Although not all the adventurers come so poor the statment that the German, who has the most, averages $50, will be suffi- cient to open the eyes of some. The English, French and Belgian follow with $45, $43 and SAP. The Irishman. on the contrary, has, as rule, but $15, the Russian but SIP, and, as before said, the Italian but $10. Yet many of these, particularly the Italian and the German, return to their native land as wealthy men. It is safe to state that no American pauper has landed on a foreign shore.
