to say the Divine Lamb is offered and
partake of the sacred feast in order to
implore at an opportune time, favor
and grace and there find mercy. Now is
salvation near, this is the favorable
time, this is the day of salvation
IF the Kingdom of Heaven, that is
to say the church of the present age,
is like the ten virgins going forth dur
ing the night to meet the bridegroom,
it behooves above all else that during
this happy solemnity each should med
itate upon these sacred words: Behold
the bridegroom cometh, prepare your
lamps, and go We forth to meet him.
1T is fitting that in the midst of the
last night of the month of December of
the year which is about to begin, which
will be the end of the present century
and the beginning of the new one,
pious and solemn acts of worship should
be rendered to God for the benefits ac-
corded during this century, and of
prayer for greater ones still, according
to the necessities of the times in order
that the new century may begin under
happy auspices.
Therefore in order that the year
1900 may begin and end happily with
invocations for the favor of God and of
His Only Son our Redeemer, and open
hope will be a happier one, our very
Holy Father Pope Leo XIII. has seen
fit to permit that on the 31st of De-
cember as we'll of this year now end
ing as of the year which is about to
begin, in all churches and chapels
where the the Holy Eucharist is kept,
with the permission of the ordinary,
the Holy Sacrament may be exposed in
solemn form and that one low or high
mass may be celebrated which shall be
that of the Circumcision of Our Lord
and of the octave of Christmas, and
that by special favor the faithful may
partake of the Holy Communion either
during the mass or Immediately after
it, observing on this subject all the usu-
al customs, anything to the contrary
of these presents Notwithstanding.

Bishop of Palestrina, Project of the
Sacred Congregation of Rites"

LEQ.S GENTlRY DEGREE

A translation into French of the de-
cree "Urbis ct Orbis" of the Sacred
Congregation of Rites relating to the
celebration of midnight mass in Cath
Olic churches and chapels on December
81, 1899 and December 81, 1900, has been
received in Honolulu. If the quotations
from this decree heretofore received
and published in various languages had
not made it clear that the Pope does
not declare the year 1900 the beginning
of the twentieth century, the decree it
self which is now given in full will
make it clear Indeed it goes farther and
makes it clear that the Pope considers
the year 1900 the last of the nineteenth
century.
1t is worthy of note also that the ac-
ton of the Pope on this subject comes,
not in the form of bull or encyclical,
but in the form of decree of the Sac
red Congregation of Rites, showing that
it is matter of discipline and formu-
larry and not of doctrine or faith.
The following is a careful translation
of the decree as it is published in the
Catholic papers of France:

the Holy Year. so happily promulgat-
ed by our Blessed Father and Lord

The first dose will ease the
cough considerably while a
few more will cure it entirely.
Nothing nasty about this
cure that will make one stop
taking it, but on the other
hand it is a very agreeable
mixture, being pleasant to take,
curing in a short time, while
others fail.

THEY BUILT THE ROAD.

And Could Knew Where to Get the
Rails to Do 1t.
Jay Gould once wanted to build a
short line to certain place and found
rivals in the field. To Sylvester T.
Smith he gave Imperative orders. Get
out as big force as possible. and CON-
plete the road before the other fellows
get wind of it. and we'll head 'em off,"
Smith reported presently, "Mr.
Gould, we can get all the ties, fish
plates. bolts, nuts and spikes we want.
but we can't get the rails" ''Tele-
graph to every mill in the country, and
pay any price," said Could. ''T have
done so. and there is no chance for
delivery under II months" Then"
said the little wizard. "go somewhere
and tear up something. We've got
to have rails" He indicated the road
to destroy, branch or feeder of the.
Union Pacific.
Smith soon had the old road torn up
and the new one laid down. Then
came war. Stockholders Of the Union
Pacific learned of the enterprise and
hailed Smith to court to answer for
tearing up railroad that belonged to
them. To their questioning he admit
ted all and had no excuse but that Jay
Gould ordered him to do it.

what has he got to do with itT'
Up rose a young lawyer from New
York to inform them that Mr. Gould
owned all the bonds of the Union Pa.
cific road. though not a dollar of it's
stock. and that hewas absolute pro-
prietor of the feeder that Mr.. Smith
had torn up. There never was a more
surprised and mystified lot Of men.
They had nothing more to say.-San

The farmers of the state do not yet
understand how it is that for years,
under Republican administration, the
prison Irvine plant has been able to
furnish them binding Irvine at from
8 to cents pound less than that sup
piled by private dealers and the cord
age trust, and that the very first year
in which reform" administration
takes hold of the plant and undertakes
to operate it the difference runs the
other way. Tt is the custom of the
average farmer to look at results
rather than to study out theories.
Heretofore the Irvine supplied him by
the prison Irvine plant has been of as
good quality as that which he would
purchase from private dealers, and cost
him a great deal less. This year the
Irvine supplied by the prison Irvine
plant is of a very inferior quality,
runs from fifty to sixty feet short on
the pound, and costs 1 or 2 cents q
pound more than the better grades of
Irvine sold by private dealers. How
ever, If, as is explained by the admin
istration, the difference Is due to the
purchase of the material when 1t was
higher, that simply shows that those In
charge of the plant did not know their
business and makes the matter worse
instead Of better.

SOME SURE THINGS.
Bets to BE Avoided by Those Who
Never Tried the Feats.

Bets to BE Avoided by Those Who
Never Tried the Feats.
Bets to be avoided by those who are
cocksure they can do all things are
those relating to athletic feats. It
easily give a start Of so yards in 100
to a man who was doing the so yards
by hopping on one leg. But few run
ners, if any, can afford to give that
amount of start to any man who is
at all strong on his legs. For the first
five yards or SO they go at practically
the same pace. so that to run 95 yards
while his opponent is hopping 45 he
has to go more than twice as fast. and
it is weak man indeed who cannot
hop so yards in ten seconds.
An ordinary wooden match is easily
broken in the fingers. but. although
there are many who will bet they can
do it. none succeed in accomplishing
the task If the match is laid across the
nail of the middle finger of either hand
and pressed upon by the first and third
fingers of that hand. despite it's seem
ing so easy.at first sight.
No one can crush an egg placed
lengthwise between his clasped hands
that is, if the egg be sound and has
the ordinary shell Of a hens egg.
1t is safe to bet q man that he cannot
get out of chair without bending
his body forward or putting his feet
under it, if he is sitting on it, not at
the edge of it.
: Another equally certain wager is
that man cannot stand at the side
of room with both of his feet touch
ing the wainscoting lengthwise.
1t is safe to bet any man. save one
who Is blind. that he cannot stand
for FIVE minutes without moving IL
he is blindfolded.

SHE HAS A NEW VALISE.
Why She Bought 1t and Why, Also

Why She Bought 1t and Why, Also.
She Will Not Lend 1t.
A Portland woman tells this story.
which may have q moral:
Several years ago her husband made
her present of travelling bag made
of black Russia leather. handsomely.
mounted and strong and serviceable.
She had had it only few days when
the sister-in-law of her boarding mis-
the White mountains. 1t looked 50
much nicer than her own was her
apology. 1t had only been returned
q few days when a friend who was
going to take a little journey up
among the hills of Oxford county beg
ged the loan of it. and again it was
taken down from 1.-The upper shelf"
Then another friend was to make
visit of a few weeks in Montreal
Could she take it? She could and did.
BY this time the new look had van
ished. and still it's owner had had no
occasion to carry it. >
One evening favorite cousin called.
He was captain of brig which was
to sail for the coast of Africa the next
day, but he himself was going on a
steamer via England. Did his cousin
have a valise she wouldn't need for
six months or SO? Reluctantly the
travelling bag was produced. and that
was the last time the lady saw it for
two years. when it reached her by the
hand of sailor from the brig. But it
was in such a battered and forlorn
condition that she consigned it to the
waste barrel
In the meantime she had bought a
new valise. which she declined to lend.

SHORTHAND WRITING.
Accuracy In OF Much More Impor-
lance Than Speed.


tance Than Speed.
Speed is by no means the most
necessary thing In shorthand writing"
explained an experienced stenogra-
pher, but with some teachers 1t is
made the great consideration. often
at the expense Of everything else. The
big thing in shorthand is legibility,
for there are many who can write
fast enough. but who are unable to
tell what 1t means after 1t has grown
cold. l have been stenographer. de-
pending entirely on it for my living,
for % years. During that time have,
Of course. picked up some knowledge
on the subject. l have been the
stenographer for two cabinet officers,
four assistant secretaries and three
or four senators. Incidentally have
worked for year g the private Sec
rotary Of one Of the big bank presi-
dents in New York city.
"An of this experience has proven
one thing very conclusively, and that
is that there Is no necessity for any
stenographer who does amanuensis
work to write over 120 words min
ute and in 80 cases out Of 100 no ne
cessity to write over 100 words min
ute. Indeed, I know of at least. %
stenographers who are drawing the
largest kind Of salaries as private sec
retaries who have assured me that
they have never been required to aver
age as much as 80 words. Under these
circumstances it seems strange that
some teachers Of stenography will ex-
cite pupils to write $50 to 200 words
per minute and endeavor to make them
believe that such railroad speed is
necessity. Such a practice does
actual injury, for it discourages many
from even learning moderate speed.
There have been instances where
it may have been necessary for stenog-
raphers to be able to write over 200
and more words minute. and there is
a legend hanging about the senate
chamber that General Hawley, for
10 or IL minutes in a speech. once
spoke 225 words a minute. The aver
age speed of senators in speeches does
not reach 10 words and in debating
letters rarely reaches 100 Words
