The Pope's Official Rings.

The pope has three special rings
for his use. The first is generally
rather plain gold one, with an intagl-
10 or cameo ornament. This is called
the papal ring. The second one, called
the pontifiCal ring, because used only
when the pope pOntificates or Officiates
at grand ceremonies, is an exceedingly
precious one. The one worn on. these
occasions by Plus X was made during
the reign of Plus VII, whose name is
cut on the inside. 1t IS of the purest
gold, of remarkably fine workmanship,
set with Il very large ODlOng diamond.
1t cost 10000 francs (f1.2JO and has a
contrivance on the inside by which it
can be made larger or smaller to fit
the weareT's finger.
The fisherman's ring, SO called be-
cause it has Il figure of st. Peter in a
bark throwing his net into the sea. is a
plain gold ring with an oval face, bear
ing the name of the reigning pope en-
graved round and above tile figure of
the apostle. The ring weighs IL
ounces. 1t was first n private and not
an official ring, though it has been
used in the latter way since the fif-
teenth century and is now the official
seal of the popes and the first among
the reigns.-Golden Penny.

On the west coast of Africa the ma
tives call the raspberry yaw. 1t hap
pens that one Of the pleasing diseases
that come out from that quarter of the
globe is characterized by dusky red
spots that appear on the body and soon
grow into ulcers about the size and
looks of the raspberry. So this disease
is called the yaws. 1t is contagious
and downright disagreeable. White
sailors bring il back with them to their
own discomfort and the disgust of
those Mt home. Yaws prevails also in
the Fiji Islands and in Samoa. but in
these two places children mainly are
attacked. and the natives regard the
disease in the same light as civilized
persons look at measles-almost a GER
talnty to have and the sooner over
with the better.

SALT WATER BLOOD.
An Operation That Is the eavinE OF
Many Human Lives.

TRANSMISSION Of blood is procedure
| that must have been employed by ply
| sicians in very early times. Ovid tells
| OF Medea bringing back youth to the
| aged by the Injection into their veins
| of the blood of young men, and doubt
| less the same means was employed by
physicians for less fantastic objects.
The injection Of the blood of one per-
| son into the veins OF another was until
| recently done 10 save life after severe
hCmorrhaGe and in various forms Of
blood poisoning. Sometimes n direct
communication was made between the
veins of the donor and of the recipient
by means of tube. At other times the
| healthy subject was bled into a bowl
and the blood was beaten to remove
the fibrin before il was passed into the
blood vessels OF the patient.
The procedure is n dangerous one,
however. although many lives have
been saved by il, and II has now been
almost entirely abandoned, n much
safer plan being used.
1t is found that the blood when de-
fibrinated IS no longer n living fluid,
and the COrpusCleS it contains serve no
useful purpose when injected, but rath-
or act as foreign matter which must be
got rid of. Accordingly physicians now
use distilled water in which n definite
proportion of common salt and other
chlordeS have been dissolved. This So
luton is warmed and is injected slow
~ into n vein at the bend of the elbow,
about quart being used.
Often it is not even necessary to pour
the fluid into n vein, but simply to in
ject it through one or more hollow
needles into the tissues beneath the
skin of the abdomen or the thigh.
This is done not only to supply an
equivalent for fluid lost in hemOrrhage
or cholera, but also in certain diseases
in which blood poisoning exists. In
this latter case large amount of fluid
is injected slowly, and being taken up
by the blood is almost Immediately
excreted through the kidneys, carrying
with it much of the poison which the
blood was unable to rid itself of I'M
aided.
This operation has been felicitously
called blood washing" for this is
what it really is, and to the process hu
mainly owes the saving of many lives.

Heroic Treatment.

In Guiana If a child is slow IN its
movements the parents apply an ant TO
the child instead of whip to make it
move faster. This little ant bites more
cruelty than mosquito, and its bite is
apt TO be troublesome afterward. AS
you can imagine. this treatment does
not make the child kind to others. and
the children of Guiana are said to be
particularly cruel to animals. The lit
tie boys in Guinea do not reckon their
age by years. but by their ability TO en-
dure pain. Until he gets to the point
where he can let the Hucu ant bite him
without wincinS he is considered mere

THE CHOCOLATE INDUSTRY.
An Enormous Amount of 1t Is Used
In This Country Every
Year.

"The American people are evidently
very fond Of chocolate, for there are
about 1900, COO pounds OF the commod-
ity consumed in the United States an
nually,' said large wholesale dealer
in chocolate beans in Boston to q
writer for the Washington Star recent
ly. "Two-thirds of the chocolate inn
ported into this country is purchased
by chocolate manufacturers in Massa-
chusetts and the rest is distributed
among the numerous candy firms in
New York, Philadelphia and elsewhere.
There are three principal grades of
chocolate, which are known in the
trade as the Caracas, the French and
the German. OF these three varieties
the Caracas is considered the best. The
color OF Caracas chocolate is a pale
brown. In flavor it is much stronger
than the French or German article.
"To test the quality of chocolate it
IL only necessary to put piece of it in
4 pan of water and allow it to dissolve.
The better grades will leave no sedi-
ment; the. others win. This is due to
the fact that in the cheaper varieties
the shell is ground up and used as a
filler. The lighter the chocolate the
better the quality. The cheaper grades
are dark brown. owing to the ground
up shell.
"One of the largest cocoa plantations
in the world is located ut Nicaragua.
II is owned by a French firm, whose
chocolate is known all over the world.
Their works at Noisiel turn out about
4O.o0o, 900 pounds Of chocolate year.
Ind their employees number 1.s0o. The
Tin foil in which the cakes OF chocolate
are wrapped costs alone 100000 per
annum. The possibilities OF cocoa cul-
tivation in Central America are not
vet fully realized outside Of France.
