Pope Much Altered.

A correspondent in Rome thus des-
crlDes the present appearance OF the
pope: There Is no doubt that since |
last saw Leo XIII. he has greatly al
tered. He is much thinner and much
whittier than he was a few months back.
His face looks so very small that one
almost fears that should he wear his
inter 1t would entirely extinguish his
tiny face and head On the other
hand his eyes are bright and his voice
is fairly strong. He could not stand
unassisted. or even walk across the
room without the aid of II stick, and is
afflicted by constant. irritating
cough. His intellect is as strong as
ever, and his memory is very clear and
precise He is. moreover, quite able to
attend to business and to write his
letters and sign documents. His last
signature shows no alteration in the
firmness of his hand. and is as clear
and distinct as it was twenty years
ago.

"rhe largest plant In the world"
said an eminent naturalist TO the writ
er the other day, sis probably a glgan-
tic seaweed. known as the 'nereocytis,'
which frequently grows to a height of
more than 300 feet. The stem OF the
plant is as strong as an ordinary rope
and large quantities of 1t are dried and
used as rope by the inhabitants of the
South Sea islands, where the curious
vegetable ropes are found. The sea-
weed usually grows to depth of from
200 to 800 feet. AS soon as the plant
takes root a spear shaped balloon is
formed, which grows with the stem
toward the surface of the center. This
balloon frequently has a diameter of
six feet or more. 1t has, of course,
an upward tendency, and therefore
keeps the stem growing until it floats
on the top of the water. This enor-
nous weed grows in such quantities
that large meadowlike islands are
formed, which are often so big as to
impede navigation. The ropes made
from tho stem OF the plant are used
for building purposes. and the balloons
when dried mako very serviceable ves-
sels.--Washiugto Star.

VIII Interpret His "Denr Midnight
of Love" In n Chicago Music Hall.
It Is reported that Alderman John J.
Coughlln Of Chicago, commonly known
as "Bathhouse," has been engaged ut
$500 week to sing his original COM
position, Dear Midnight Of Love-" at
a Chicago music hall, soon to be
opened. The contract is said to have
been signed and received the other
day by L. c. Teller, manager OF the
music hall.
The alderman hesitatcd atefrst, fear
ing stage fright, but his objections
were finally overcome upon being as
sured that he might wear a bunch Of
"brigand's fringe" as stage .whiskers
are known to experts in the art Of
make up. The alderman secuted this
suggestion, says the New YORK Sun,
and declared that in order to- give
proper expression to Dear Midnight
of Love" he would require all the1 fresh
air possible.
The matter of costume was not men
toned In the contract, but information
has been received that the alderman
will appear in his famous green even
ing suit and introduce each night Il

Speaking Of n visit to the Chinese eX-

says:

PARLOR GOLF IN ENGLAND.

New Game Permits Good Practice
Indoors For the Outdoor Sport.
ParlOr golf Is the latest fad in Eng.
land. 1t is an ideal game for the arm
chair golfer and for the dyed In the
wool enthusiast. 1t enables the latter
to continue practice after dark, and
time need only be lost from the links
for eating and sleeping.
The entire 10 holes may be played
in a room Of ordinary size, and drives
Of 200 yards have been made, says the
New York Times. Champion Taylor
and Baird, another English crack, re.
Gently played a match game Of parlOr
golf. Baird won, making the round in
80 strokes. Both ex oil the game and
say that 1t Is good practice for the
outdoor sport. The teeing ground is
usually an ordinar! mat over n green
Turkish carpet. The length of the
drive Is recorded by a machine, to
which the golf ball is attached by n
string. The player strikes the ball, and
the force Of the drive Is acorded. The
chief defects are that ere are no
bunkers, and slicing or pulling has no
effect on a drive.

told a New York Sun reporter at Hart

1.-THE Sumatra is progressing finely.
The leaves are smaller, of a brighter
green and finer shade and are silkier
than that raised in the open. We are
gathering the crop by leaves, picking
them as they become fully matured

ARMORED COFFINS.
They Were Once Used In n Church-
yard In Scotland.


In the earlier half Of the nineteenth
century the practice of stealing bodies
from the churchyards for the purpose
of sale as subjects for dissection, which
was known rs "body snatching," was|
for time very rife.
Various plans were made to defeat
the nefarious and sacrilegious proceed
ings Of the body snatChers," or "resur-|
rectiOnists," as they were sometimes
called. very common one being theI
erection of two or more small watch
houses whose windows commanded
the whole burylng ground, and in
which the friends of the deceased
mounted guard for number of nights
after the funeral.
a usual method Of the grave robbers
was to dig down to the head of the
coffin and bore in it large round hole
by means Of specially constructed
center bit. 1t was to counteract this
naneuver that the two curious coffin
like relics now lying on either side of
the door Of the ruined church Of Aber-
foyle, In Perthshire, were constructed.
They are solid masses Of cast iron Of
enormous weight.
When an interment took place one Of
these massive slabs was lowered by
suitable derricks, tackles and chains
on to the top of the coffin, the grave
was filled in, and there it was left for
some considerable time. Later on the
grave was opened and the iron armOr
plate was removed and laid aside
ready for another funeral.
These contrivances still lie ON the
grass of the lonely little churchyard,

clist and tourist.-Scientifc American
Growing Matches.
The Belgian artisan spends his lei
sure In a very curious manner. He
keeps special cock for growing, and
the bird which can Outcrow It's fellows
has reached the highest pinnacle Of
perfection. The mode Of operation is
to place the cages containing the rOOst-
ers In long rows, for 1t appears that
one bird sets the other off growing. A
marker appointed by the organizers Of
the show is told off for each bird, his
duty being to note carefully the num-
Der of crows for which it is responsible
In the same fashion as the laps are re-
corded In bicycle race. The custom
airy duration Of the match is one hour,
the winner being the bird which scores
the highest number of crows in the al
lotted time. A great number Of these
competitions have taken place In the
Liege district, and in some cases heavy
bets have been made on the result.

Nearly every dairyman has expe-

time that soiling will pay and pay

person realize from 500 to $25 per
