PRIESTS OF cAsTtLIAN BLOOD
Two Grand Old Men of Wonderful
 Energy and Ability.

Two Grand old Men of Wonderful
 Energy and Ability.
 These highclass Spanish priests are wonderful men" said prominent Catholic to New Orleans Times Democrat man. T never encountered two finer gentlemen and more ac- complished scholars than Archbishop Barnada, who was consecrated here recently, ana Archbishop Zubiria, who passed through New Orleans recently. Monsignor Barnada is archbishop of Santiago de Cuba and Monsignor Zu- biria is archbishop of Durango, old Mexico. Both are over 75, yet they are actively administering offices that are fully as important from a merely material standpoint and vastly more trying than the governorship of states. Their duties are complex and ardu- ous to the last degree, yet they think nothing of long journeys by land and sea, and neither of them betrayed the least signs of fatigue. Such physical vitality was amazing and their mental activity was equally remarkable. found them not only men of wide gen. eral culture, but they were thoroughly au fait in the affairs of the day and exhibited a keen and lively interest in current events l found it almost inn possible to realize that they had reached a period when all cares are laid aside. The two archbishops have the best Castilian blood in their veins and are certainly magnificent types of their race. I doubt whether the pres- ent generation will produce many such grand old men

Game Cock Worth S1O.oOO.

Several hundred South Carolina raised game cocks are exported an nually to Mexico, where cock fighting is the sport of the nation. These ex- ported birds are not collected indis- criminately in the state, but are ob- tained from one man in Clay Hill, York county, who has made the raising of fighting cocks life study. That he has succeeded by various courses and carrying out a system in producing the best birds is shown by the de- mand from Mexico for all he raises
 Fancy prices are paid for the breed
 One bird he sold to Texan was en- tered in big matches in the Lone Star state, and after winning twenty-seven battles was bought by Mexican for $10,000. He has been notified that his cock won battle in the City of Mexi- co in which the stake was $10, 900.

Scented Water for the Table.

If society has not perfected the art of dining it is surely not far from it. The latest fad for the dinner table is scented water for the finger bowls. Great care should be taken in scenting g the water. To be correct the odor must be exceedingly faint. Verbena leaf is refreshing, and occasionally one leaf is left floating on the water of each finger bowl When natural flow CTS and leaves are scarce and one has not private hothoase or conservatory to draw rom perfume tablets are used for this purpose. If a scented flower is used in decorating the table, perfect taste requires that the water in the fin ger bowls be of the same perfume as the flower

WOMAN REFUSES
To Live with Her Husband Because She
wasn't it?'

Says He Is Homely.
 New York World: Mrs. Jennie Gold farb has given novel excuse for re- fusing to live with her husband Sam uel. She says that he is too homely for any woman to live with. Goldfarb who is philosopher, admits that he is not all Apollo, but he also insists that his wife has never been known as professional beauty. The Gold farbs have had good deal of trouble since they were married in 1S90 It took Mrs. Goldfarb but a short time to discover that her husband did not come up to her standard of manly beauty, and she began to make things uncomfortable for him. Occasionally she went back to her mother. At an- other time Samuel in despair sent her to Europe, hoping that when she re- turned he would find favor in her eyes. But matters were still worse when she came back, and, according to a num- Der of afidavits, in the possession of former Judge H. w. Leonard, Gold farbs counsel, she positively refused to live with him at all Goldfarb in the meantime had spent small for tune on complexion beautifiers. hair restorers and other toilet luxuries. He became Berry Wall in his dress. But his wife remained obdurate, and final ly, a short time ago, charged him be- fore Magistrate Hogan with assertion. Goldfarb was sent-railroaded, he says ito the island for six months. He gave bond and was released. He at once sued for a separation, and flor such other relief as may seem just"

Agents to Do Mending.

He's the meanest man that I ever had anything to do with" said the sewing-machine agent. T received a note from him the other day saying that he desired to view one of our matchless machines with the view of purchasing it, if found to be satisfac- tory. In these piping days of compe- tition it is novelty for a sewing machine agent to be invited to call and show goods, and when I had re- covered from my surprise I promptly loaded machine in my cart and start ed for the address the man had given.i An old man ret tae at the door and
 invited me y the machine in- side so he e-- --..Ie closely examine it. I did so, sst ing the machine up in the sitting-rco.n, and calling his att tention to it's fire points. He was an attentive listener, and I talked with the confidence of a man who consid- cred sale certain. Finally, having exhausted all my arguments, he asked to see practical test of the capabili- ties of the machine. I agreed, and asked him to bring me something upon which to work He left the room, re- turning a few minutes later, his arms filed with damaged linen. I sat down at the machine and showed how easily rents and tears could be mended, mak- ing the garment as good as new and saving in a short time the price of the machine. The man seemed very much interested and kept handing me gar ment after garment that needed atten- tion. I worked for two solid hours mending the old mans garments, and at last, having nothing else that need ed attention, he commenced to find fault with the machine. Finally he told me that he guessed he wouldn't buy a machine right away. I was so mad that I didn't dare trust myself to speak, and I was glad afterward that I didn't, for when I learned the whole truth I realized my total inabil- ity to do the subject justice. That miserable old sinner, who happens to be bachelor, had brought me up there merely to do his mending, and had no idea of buying machine. He has worked the same game on other agents. s."-New York Sun.

Some Ways of Producing Artificial Low

Some Ways of Producing Artificial Low
 Temperatures.
 In the line of refrigeration on the rail, the newest and eleverest inven- tion is a car that by the motion of it's own wheels, congresses ammonia gas to liquid, which, in expanding again through pipes, produces the cold re- euired to preserve the perishable prod dGts transported in the vehicle. What tMs newly-discovered liquid air may accomplish in the branch of enterprise here discussed, no man can say, though astonishing things are predict ed for it, but already cold in this in- tensely concentrated form Is on the market and may be bought by the gall lon. Very possibly, in the near future carts may go from door to door in air put up in suitable tins-depositing full receptacles each morning for the days supply, and taking away the "empties." A little of the stuff in the family refrigerator will keep the pro- visions sweet, while what remains may be utilized for cooling the air of the house. a spoonful being deposited here and there in a saucer An inventor has recently devised scheme for sprink- ling a town with the help of balloons. which carry up into the air long hose pipes connected with fire-plugs on the ground. This is for the purpose of engendering eoolness; and the same object is sought, by another genius, who proposes to erect in various parts of the city very tall skeleton towers, to the tops of which large bombs filled with carbonic acid, will be run up for explosion by an electric spark. 6A course, the carbonic acid, expanding ih the form of vapor, will chill the surrounding atmosphere, thus giving relief to the heat-oppressed community below. An idea that is even now used in many factories to cool the air in the buildings is to throw spray of cold water into a room until the air is supersaturated, and then to force the air thus cooled through the outer rooms.-Beston Transcript.

 SCORPION BY MAIL.
Animal Had Crawled In the Pamphlet
 while at Jamaica

Animal Had Crawied In the Pamphlet
 while at Jamaica.
 A few days ago c. G. Lloyd, the bot anist, received through the mail a pamphlet issued by the botanical de- pertinent of the colonial government of the island of Jamaica. Upon re- moving the wrapper and strengthening out the folds of the pamphlet there was disclosed the remains of deadly SCOT pion. It is characteristic of this ven omous insect to seek hiding place in anything of tubular shape which will give it the opportunity of crawling to the far end of it's castle and there awaiting the chance of giving some unsuspecting person a glimpse of the River Styx. In this case the scorpion, while prowling around among the mail sacks in the Kingston postoffice, dis covered the pamphlet and immediately crawled into the opening. Unfortu nately for this seorpionship,' or fortu- nately for some mail clerk, the pam phlet was placed under a pile of mail matter in the sack, with the result that the insect was flattened out. MT. Lloyd saw in an instant the nature of the foreign corpse, and wisely put it aside until he held an inquest. Like an h. dian, the only good scorpion is dead one, and not even hardened coroner would dare to sit on one if the thing showed evidences of playing possum. The weight on this scorpion was so heavy that his tail took the familiar curve it assumes when the business end is ready to go to work. The "stinger" is forced out to it's full length. MT. Lloyd says that this is only an in- stance of how insects are accidentally transmitted from one part of the world to another. The accompanying danger is correspondingly great to those who handle the mail matter.-Cincinnat Enquirer.

 Big Libraries in China.

The great libraries of Pekin contain volumes of books numbered by the hundreds of thousands. In the archives of the government are still to be found the ancient predictions of eclipses made with great accuracy, together with works on astronomy which show a fair knowledge of that science.

Things That Affect Memory.

Scientists have discovered that the memory is stronger in summer than in winter. Among the worst foes of the memory are too much food, too much physical exercise, and, strangely enough, too much education.

 Cooking in Sweden.

A lady who has just returned to this country from the Land of the Midnight Sun said to Philadelphia Press re- porter: After we had seen our fill of rocky headlands and enchanted lakes and fjords, we went to a seaside re- sort, where we had rooms overlooking the water, and went to a matsal, or 'meatroom,' for our meals, as every one does in Lysekil We had a special table and were waited upon with the never-failing suitability by special waitress, and we paid for one party of four $10.60 per week for our meals. What did we get to eat? Not canned peas or skinned milk or tough chick en. For breakfast we had meat, eggs, tea, coffee, delicious fish and fancy breads. For dinner, soup, fish, meat and a dessert, the whole preceded by the Swedish smorgasbord, which is sort of side table where all sorts Of relishes are laid out Rarebits. eggs, sandwiches, raw or pickled herrings. with chopped onions, sliced sausages, cayiare, anehovies, cheese, sardines, pickles and salted and savory meats are served in endless variety, and, though tourists usually fight shy of .he smorgasbord, We became perfect Swedes as far as it was concerned. We had such a good time in Lysekil and saved so much of our precious pelf that we were able at the end of our stay to take a trip to Paris for few days shopping, dinner at the Ann bassedeur's, and a peep at the budding revolution

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, March 22.-The railroad
stocks had their innings on the stock
exchange today. The demand for all
grades of this class of securities reach
ed imposing proportions and the buying
came from all degrees of investors and
SPECTATORS, large and small. The indi-
vidual investor was in evidence as a buy
er of fractional lots all through the list,
and some of the heavy buying was attrib-
uted to the account of banking interests
and insiders in the various properties.
The professional board room traders on
the floor of the exchange have turned
bulls to a man, and the spectators of
larger calibre and speculative pools
made their operations manifest in the
volume of the transactions. Individual
transactions to the extent of 1000 shares
were so usual as to attract little at
tention, while many lots of 1000 to
$500 were recorded on the tape. Norfolk
and Western and the Atchison stocks
took the most conspicuous place in the
trading, but there was impressive trans
actions at different times during the
day in Union Pacific, Baltimore and Ohio,
Southern Pacific, Pennsylvania, Northern
Pacific, Chesapeake and Ohio, and late
in the day, in Southern Railway The
strength disclosed in yesterdays market
precipitated today's rush to buy, and it
was clear that a very large element must
have been waiting and watching some
time for the first sign that the market
was throwing off it's lethargy and getting
ready to move.
