POPE TALKS ON WARS EFFECT
Leo XIII. Interviewed on the Result
of the Conquest of Spain's
Colonies.

Leo XIII. was interviewed the other
day on the effect of the conquest by the
United States of Spain's colonies. he
said:
"The United States are a great peo-
pie, full of strength and will, but it is
necessary that they should know how
to prove themselves generous always to
the weak, in order that their strength
and their will may be a model of power
and virility.
What suffering my being endured
in the face of the conflict of two nations
that love-one for its fidelity through
the centuries, the other for it's virile
youth and for the hope of seeing it
enter entire into the bosom of the Ce tn
olic church. It is marching into it
with rapid strides. The war has been
one of the greatest sufferings of my
life. All my efforts to avoid it have
been in vain.
"As to the Philippines, have de-
plored certain exaggerations, but the
state of mind and the excitable char
acter of those insular countries had to
be taken into consideration. Recon-
mendations have been made; they will
be obeyed, for their object is the humil-
ity and the good of humanity"

EFFECT OF MUSIC.

Eagles when played to become seri-
Gus and sedate and listen intently with
evident enjoyment.
Captive coyotes when music is played
will range themselves in half.circle
and listen with the greatest attention.
Snakes like the bagpipes played soft
ly, and will sometimes coil up with
raised head and gently sway to and fro.
Lionesses are affected most by the
bagpipes. They crouch half frightened,
and then dash madly around their cage
as though scared.
Perhaps the most surprising effect of
music on animals is in the case of the
alligator. When the experiment was
tried the big brute rose from the water
and actually smiled with his great teeth
exposed. ~. o... .= a,s Il.

One OF the things boy is very sure

It seems that a precious stone cannot
properly be dignihed by the title OF
gem until it has been cut and polished.
It is the optical character of precious
stones that distinguishes the real from
imitation. Among other questions that
the intending purchaser should ask
himself in the selection Of stones is
this striking one: Are the stones like
dewdrops hanging from damask rose
leaf?
The ruby stands supreme among col
ored stones and, owing to its rarity, Is
sometimes worth ten times the value of
an ordinary white diamond. A dark
species of ruby is found In Siam, a pale
tinted kind in Ceylon, but the true
~pigeon-blood" ruby is yielded only by
tho famous mines of Burma. Until
the year 1886 this land of rubies was
practically unknown to Europeans.
Since then various scientific explorers
have ''Hfted the veil of mystery" which
enshrouded this famous country.
The most effective expedition was
that conducted by Mr.. George Shelton
Streeter. With the permission of the
English government, who granted him
the assistance of military force, he
formed one of the three explorers in q
romantic expedition into the interior
of Burma. The country was developed
by these men at great personal discom-
fort and even peril, for an organized re-
sistance was made by the hill tribes,
and some people in this country
doubted the motives of the explorers.
Their efforts resulted in the formation
of the Burma ruby mines"

Fire and Prevent Explosion.

William Carney, engineer at the Car

while working about his engine the
other day became entangled in a large
gear wheel and one limb was crushed
entirely off near the hip.
With his life blood ebbing fast away
and suffering agony of pain, Carney
managed to extrica te himself. He did
not think of his own condition, but
knew no one might visit the engine
room for hours, and in the meantime
the boilers would explode unless the
fire was shut off,
Although the boiler-room was 60 feet
away, he dragged himself that distance
and shut off the fire, saving life and
property. Carney died tina t night.

NEGLECT TO RETURN BOOKS.
Reading Public Inconvenienced by
Con1ressmen Who Take Books
from Congregational Library.

Walls go up from the reading public
at the opening of each congress, for it
means weary waiting and fruitless
search for books from the congressional
library. New members are quite
prompt in returning books to the
librarian, but after the first term books
pass from member to member of the
family, from friend to friend, often
leaving the book shelves on the OPEN
ing of congress and circulating about
until the 4th of March. While there is
practically no real loss of books, only
two or three term, this is a most in
convenient habit and one that deprives
earnest readers who depend on the
library of much pleasure, there being
generally. but two copies of a book. one
for circulation among that branch Of
the government so favored and the
other for desk reading in the library.
