POPE FOR A DAY.
Lso's Successor wm Reign for Twenty
 Four Hours.


 Four Hours.
 When Pope Leo XIII. dies his imme- diate successor will be Cardinal Luigi OregIia, Camarlingo of the Roman Catholic Church. He will not be called Pope, but according to the laws in force he will be Acting Pope until the new Pope is elected. The Vatican reg u1ations decree that the election of the new Pope cannot take place until after the burial of the late Pope which takes place ten days after his decease- In many instances the election is not completed for weeks or months, SO that the Camarlingo may enjoy his papal power for a long time Leo XIII. held the position of CamarJngo when he himself was elected to the pontif cate, but it does not seem probable that his Gamarlingo will succeed to the 2apal throne It Is the Camarlinga who formally declares the pope dead after tapping his forehead three times with the silver hammer. He it is who breaks the seals and Ring of the Fish erman, and then assumes the dlrec- tion of the Apostolic see until the new pope is chosen. The Gamarlingo pre- sides over the sacred eonelave of the cardinals having the election in hand, and keeps the key of the place of meet ing. so that none can enter or go out save with his consent When the election is concluded he asks the new pondff what name he intends to take. And after he has received the saluta- ton of the assembled cardinals It is the Cardinal-Camarlingo who places on hAs finger the Ring of the Fisher man ;" He is. in fact, the actual sue eessor of the pope, even though tenn porarj'y.

 Reading in Bed,


 Reading in bed used to be objected to in the old days on the score of danger, and one of the first injunetions of a hostess to her guest was in refer ence to that prevalent but disqnleting practice. But in these days, when electric light has removed the risk Of fire, the question Is one solely of it's benefit or harm to the prospective sleeper. The Medical Press and Cir cular is of the opinion that short course of some standard author may act as composing sedative, but works which contain extremes of wit meio- drama. comedy, tragedy or philosophy should be avoided. Like a good sup per the reading should be neither too heavy nor too stimulating. On the other hand, most physicians are of tho opinion that bed should be kept as much as possible for sleep A habit oe reading before putting out the light and closing ones eyes is apt to grow and become tyranny, and, like drugs, the more you indulge in it the longer has the reading to be to have the de@ sired effect. It must be admitted, however, that the habit. to all but those fortunate beings who are asleep the moment their head touches the pillow, is very seductive, and that good many peoples most serious read ing IS done at that time e-London Tele- graph

The Laughing Plant of Arabia.

The laughing plant" grows in Ara bia It obtains it's name from the ee= fects produced by eating it's seeds. The natives of the district where the plant grows dry these seeds and reduce them to powder A small dose of this powder has similar effects to those arising from the excessive use of iu- toxieants. It causes the most sober person to dance, shout, and laugh. with the boisterous excitement of madman, and to rush about cutting the most ridiculous capers for about an hour At the expiration of this exhaustion sets in and the excited per son falls asleep. to wake after several hours with no recollection of his an- tics.

OLIVES.

The olive is one of the 0ldest-knOwn fruits. It is noted by Pllny and is fre- quently mentioned in the Bible where it forms the basis of many parables and figures of speech.
 In Grecian mythology the olive tree occupies an important place and today the "olive branch" Is the world sym bod for peace, says the Scientific Amer ican. The olive tree itself Is rather melancholy in appearance, but the eYs soon becomes accustomed to the tone which the olive trees gives to the land scape. and in nearly all of the Medtter- ranean countries they are found almost everywhere.
 The kernel of the olive requires about two years to germinate natural ly, but it is found by mixing clay and other ingredients natures processes can be hastened so that it will ger minate and a large olive tree near Nice is believed to be 1000 years old ana is said to have yielded 800 pounds or oil in single year.
 In general the olive will flourish wherever the vines can be cultivated for wine growing purposes. It will not bear a temperature below 21 or 22 degrees Fahrenheit, and in Europe t cannot be grown above 46 degrees latt- tude. The young plants and fruit are very delicate, but the tree itself Is quite tough. Naturally, in Italy, where the olive forms one of the principal agricultural products and contributes so largely to the wealth of the coun. try, the trees are cultivated with the greatest ears.

Unpopular Souvenirs.

Washington Post: That makes ms think, by the way, of costly mistake theatrical man I know made last winter. The mistake Is stored in one of the Washington theaters this very minute, and there is 8 trunkful of it. Some of it is blue and some of it ia yellow, and some of 1t is shell pink. but all of 1t is silk with silver buckles meant to be worn where Bobby Shafto, in the old song, wore his, and there are several hundred pairs of it. They the pairs-were intended to be pre- sented to the women in the audience on the ocasion of the one hundred and f1ftieth performance of a certain opera the theatrical man manages, and when the appointed time was come, and tha glittering things were piled on tables in the theater lobby. only three women in the house paused to take their choice. As souvenirs--well, the man. ager simply couldn't give the things away, and they are gathering tarnish in the trunk here now, for he left them in disgust at this point in his tour. The matinee girl is willing to accept clocks and pictures and spoons and goodness only knows what eles as sou venirs, but there are things she draws the liue at.

Steamer Gave the Flag to Natives to
 Raise for Protection. V
 On the departure of the Spaniards the inhabitants of some of the Sulu Islands, notably Palawan, Balbabac and Kulion, applied for British protec- tion, and Capt Pfort of the British steamer Labuan, visiting Palawan in response to the urgent request of the natives, handed to the latter British flag to be used in case of emergency. On the matter being reported to Sir Charles Mitchell. governor of tho Straits, and subsequently, to the for eign office, the latter telegraphed to Singapore orders that the British flag should at once be hauled down. and ac. eording to advices Just received in Lon don, H. M. s. Archer was dispatched to Port Royalist, Palawan. to haul down the flag From the report of Capt. Pfort 1t appears that it was only on seeing the really critical state of affairs that he gave the flag to the na- t1ves. The Labuan called at Port Roy alist, Palawan. on February l, and found the people in great consterna- tion The Spaniards had left three months previously. saying that the Americans would take over the gov ernment in three days On leaving. the spaniafds turned edrift, without food. clothes or money, all the native sol. diers. Tae conyicts, too. were set at liberty, and all arms and ammunition having been removed the people were entirely at the mercy of the disbanded soldiers and freed conyiets, who loot ed and pillaged the whole country. On his arrival Capt Pfort was asked by the head man there if the governor of sandakan would afford them protee- tion. and he. in reply, suggested that a letter in that sense should be dis patched to the governor of Sandakan Capt Pfort also handed to them a Brit ish merchant ensign with instructions to inform anyone seeking to molest them that the people were under Brit fsh protection. He also gave to them this letter: Be it known unto all men i tAttb l. Gdp1dLn l 1Q1 pf uAdobGA u g40 British steamer Labuan, having arrived at this port and found the people de- slrous of British protection. have this day given to the president of this port 8 British flag. which l have instructed l him to use and call upon all men to re- spect the same until such time as Her Britannic Majesty, Queen Victoria, notifies her pleasure regarding the pro- l lection of this port and the Island of Palawan in general" After leaving Port Royalist the Labuan called at Curaray and Jilandak ports, on the northwest coast of Palawan, and found a similar condition of things, the people being In terror in the mountains. Pro- ceeding to Kulion, an island seventy miles north of Palawan, Capt Pfort found a local republic set up under Aguinaldo. From this place he took on board his steamer a number of refu- 1 gees. The dispatch from Lord Sails bury to Sir Charles Mitchell in refer ence to Capt, Pfort's action simply or dered the flag to be hauled down, and added that the British government dis approved of Capt. Pfort's action. Hei majesty government stated that Pala- wan and the adjacent islands, being portions of the Philippines, became by virtue Of conquest, American territory.
