Crecy SCUM.

Scrape some nice red carrots and
boil them in well favored broth till
tender enough to press through a
sieve. Mix enough broth with this
PURGE to make it rather thinner than
the soup should be when finished. In
a small saucepan dissolve an ounce of
butter, stir into it an ounce of flour,
when blended add half pint to the
soup; stir till it is we'll boiled; then
use it for thickening the soup, which
also should be hot. Stir together till
it boils up; add pepper and salt if
required. Should any fat be on the
surface draw the pan to the side of
the fire, let it cool a little, tilt the
pan toward you and skim it off. Serve
with bread that has been dried in the
oven till light brown and cut into
small dice.-Washington Star.

For many years our school Eeogra-
plies have given the supposed pronun-
citation of the name Popocatepetl as
the name of the famous volcano of
Mexico has been spelled. Children
have been taught that the last sylla-
bic was pronounced as though 1t wero
spelled "pel" and they have pro-
nounced the whole name with the ac-
cent on the scat" According to +. p.
doeck d Co., of the City of Mexico,
who have written to the board on geo.
graphic names, Washington, in refer
ence to the pronunciation of the name,
the old usage encouraged by the geog-
raphies is incorrect. The Rame con-
sists Of two words. The first word,
Popoca, is accented on the second syl-
liable, pc. The second word, tepetl, is
accented on the first syllable and is
pronounced as though 1t were spelled
"taypeL" The name of the volcano is
thus pronounced very differently from
the common usage in this country. In
the last report of the board on geo.
graphic names the spelling Popoca-
tepetl has been authorized.-N. Y. Sun.

What Prehistoric Men Ate.

Our modern microscope has been
looking back some 5000 years and
examining the food of our savage an
cestors when they were but little
above the beasts whose bones we find
mixed with theirs. Charters White,
of the Royal Chronological Society
Of Great Britain, has recently placed
under his microscope teeth taken
from human skulls dating back to
the stone age, and carefully exam
ined the tartar on them after it had
been dissolved in a weak acid, hop
ing to find traces of the food that
they had masticated. He was en-
tirely successful, and found corn
husk PARTICLES, hairs from the out
side of husks, spiral vessels from
vegetables, particles Of starch, point
of fish tooth, oval cells from fruits,
barbelets of down, portions OF wool,
and pieces of quartz and hint.-Sci-

strong common sense. In the first
place he suppressed brigandage, which
had been the cause of endless disor-
der, and thereby won the everlasting
gratitude of the law-abiding portion
of the community.
Designing him for the diplomatic
service, for which his great talents
and aristocratic bearing prominent
ly fitted him, Gregory made him, on
January II, 1s43, titular archbishop
of Damiettea, in order that he might
be qualified for the Office of nuncio to
Belgium. He remained three years at
Brussels, discharging the duties per-
tanning to his delicate post with great
tact and to the highest satisfaction of
his master who then, in 1916, just a
few months before his own death, be-
slowed on him the see of Perugia.
Pecci's talents made a strong i'm
preston upon the success OF Gregory,
Plus TX, and at the consistory held
December 10, 1883, he was, at the age
of 40, created cardinal. Twenty-four
years later, in which interval he had
rendered the most faithful services to
the church, he was selected to fill the
most responsible position of cardinal
camerlengo of the Roman hierarchy.
He was then man of 81, yet he did not
hesitate when thus summoned to as
sumo the weighty obligations resting
upon the pope's chief executive officer.
Five months later Plus TX. was gath
cred to his fathers, and the new Gamer
lengo was compelled to assume all the
temporal duties of the papal office.
Plus died February Z, 1873, and 21
days later Pecci succeeded him under
the name of Leo NH. Sixty-two car
dinals were in attendance upon this
notable conclave, yet so universally
were the merits of Pecci recognized,
and so general was the demand that
he become head of the church, that not
single vote was cast against him.
In the matter Of dress, the venerable
pontif is punctilious, his wardrobe
being one of great magnifcence. For
ordinary wear he has a white robe,
made in winter of fine cloth, in sum-
mer of MORE silk. When he goes into
the garden he throws over this long

A Valuable Find.

Information received at Covelo, In
Nendocino county, CAL, from Caspar,
- seacoast town and post, 35 miles
away, gives the particulars of val
aable find of ambergris afloat, discov-
cred by lumber steamer on her re-
turn from Skagway, Alaska. The
name of the vessel is not given. A
small lump of dirty, gray, greasy
stuff was picked up by the crew six
weeks ago after discharging cargo
of lumber at an Alaskan port. The
lump weighed about az pounds, and
when taken on board was found to be
pure ambergris, more valuable than
gold and worth S27,275. Ambergris
is supposed to be a substance formed
by a disease of the stomach or the
gall ducts of the sperm whale. It is
elected by the animal and floats upon
the water or is cast upon the shore
and buried in the sand. 1t is used to
fix valuable perfumes, and for that
reason as well as for its rarity and
the difficulty of encountering it it's
price ordinarily ranges from $3.50 to
$500 a pound. Gold is worth about
ten dollars an ounce and $3.50 pound

mantle OF red cloth, which has bor-
Ger of gold embroidery. When dressed
Tor private ceremonies he wears sur
plice made of costly lace, and a red
pelerine, OF cloth in winter and of
satin in summer. For great festivals
he first puts on the "falda." a
wide seamless coat of white satin,
around which is tied broad striped
sash OF gold, red and white. Above this
is beautiful garment covered with
jewels, and last comes a mantle of
gold-embroidered velvet. On his feet
the pope always wears red velvet
shoes. In addition to his episcopal ring
the pope is fond of wearing other cost
ly rings, often composed of single
stones of great beauty. He seldom
dons the pontifical tiara, which is a
threefold golden crown, lined with
red, green and blue velvet, and COW
cred with priceless jewels. For great
ceremonies his costume is SO heavy
that it is impossible for him, at his
great age, to stand or walk, and he IA
carried in chair. When he visits the
Vatican garden he is carried thither in
sedan chair OF an old-fashioned pat
tern.
Like almost every other human be-
ing the pope has hobby-the writing
of poetry. Most of his verses are
written in Latin, and eminent critics
have pronounced them among the
finest specimens of modern poetry.
Few of his productions are given to the
public, however; and only one volume
of his poems has been printed since
his accession to the papacy.
The large picture which graces this
article is taken directly from the latest
photograph of his holiness, and comes
from the studio of Cane Conyugi at
Rome. C. w. WEIPPIERT.

Indian Ho.pitnIitr-

How to stop the Indians of the
South Dakota reservations from eat
ing each others food is an amusing
but perplexing problem with which
the Indian bureau is now dealing. 1t
is an unwritten law of Indian hospi-
tally that a guest may stay as long
as he likes, and that as long as the
guest remains the host must provide
the food. 1t has become the custom
among the Sioux, who have a feast
with their two-weeks' ration as soon
as they receive it from the govern
ment, to go to the more provident In
dams and live on them until all their
food is gone.-Indianapolis News.

shade. Tomsk, in Siberia, isn't the
coolest place in the world, but it must
be frigid enough, for the records Of
the police court there show that last
winter a woman was summoned be-
fore the magistrate to answer the
charge Of having knocked down o
neighbor with block of frozen milk
which she was bringing home from
market. There are many months in
the year during which milk has to be
handled as a solid rather than a
liquid, and it is the custom to de-
liver it in blocks.-Golden DAYS.

The most entertaining resident Of
the zoos birdhouse is pastor bird
from New Zealand. This bird has q
dark-green plumage, relieved by a
white feather growth at the throat
greatly resembling a cravat, and
with its sedate appearance very
naturally suggests it's name. But APP
pearances are deceitful, for the bird
has song that seems to combine the
musical features of n minstrel troupe.
1t whistles couple of fute-lil1e bars,
gives utterance to metallic speech
that sounds very much like a tam
BOURNE, and winds up by manipulate
ing its beak in manner suggestive
of bones solo. After each musical
performance the bird will do a couple
of Jig steps on the perch to further
belle its sanctimonious appearance.
The pastor likes to be noticed, and
will go through its little act as long
as an audience is on hand.-Philadel-
