Mar kets generally are reported statis- tically 26 per cent higher now than in 1900, although in Rotterdam, Paris, Vienna and Buda Pest they are only 10 to Is per cent higher.

Wafer From a Knife.

Here is an ingenious trick, and one
which is bound to furnish much enter
tainment at an evening party.
Let one of the company take a knife
and say that in a few minutes he will
make water flow out of its handle. This,
of course, will be impossible, unless the
person who is going to perform the
trick has contrived to secrete a small
moistened sponge behind his ear. This
being done, let him grasp the handle of
the knife and press it in such a manner
that the spectators will think he is
really trying to get water out Of it.
While he is thus engaged his hand
will naturally move, and he can gradu-
ally bring it close to his ear. He must
then utter a few cabalistic phrases,
after which he must ask one of the
spectators to help him by drawing
three crosses with his finger on his
elbow.
This request will naturally surprise
every one, and, as no one will immedi-
ately comply with it, the magician will
have ample time to draw the tiny
sponge from behind his ear and place
it firmly between his forefinger and
middle finger. All he has to do now is
to hold the knife over a plate for at
once drops of water will begin to fall

Mary and Her Little Lamb.

Everybody knows the story of Mary
and her little lamb; but not every one
Knows that Mary E. Sawyer, who was
born near Worcester, Mass, was the
heroine of the poem.
When Mary was a little girl she
found a newborn lamb nearly dead
with hunger and cold. She tenderly
nursed it back to life and became de-
votedly attached to her gentle charge
The lamb was her constant companion
and playmate, and was to her what a
doll is to most children. For hours
she would dress her lamb and make
believe" it was her baby. One day her
brother suggested that she take the
lamb to school with her. The thought
so delighted Mary that she started
earlier than usual for the schooihouse,
reached there before the other schol-
ars and put the little lamb under her
seat. where it lay contentedly.
When Mary's turn came for her reci-
tations the lamb ran down the aisle
after her, to the intense delight of the
pupils and the surprise of the teacher.
The lamb was put outside, and it wait
ed on the doorstep for Mary and fol-
lowed her home A young man named
John Roulston CHANGED to be visitor
at the school, and the pathetic Incl
dent led him TO compose the stanzas,
which he presented to the owner of the
lamb. Some years after Miss Sawyer
was married to Mr.. Columbus Tyler.
When the lamb was old enough to
shear, Marys mother knit her two
pairs of stockings of the wool; and
Mrs. Tyler kept these stockings until
she was so years old. When the "Old
South church of Boston was raising
money, she unraveled pair of the
stockings and wound the yarn on small
cards, upon which she wrote her auto
graph; and these cards were sold for
upward of 500. Mrs. Tyler died in
December, 1SS9.-Ave Maria.

The year 1902 marks the first centen-
arv of the French Legion of Honor.
Francois Cope, the noted author, and
who. by the way, is a convert to the
church, writes entertainingly of the
origin and scope of this decoration in
the April Munsey.
At the time of the revolution all or
ders of chivalry were abolished, and
If was Napoleon who conceived the
idea of a recompense for military
valor. and it was he who founded, in
1902. the Legion of Honor, for the pur-
pose of rewarding all-civilians as
well as soldiers-who had rendered
particular service to the country"
Since those DAYS Frances most dis
tineuished men have been honored to
receive the cross of the Legion of
Honor: and, as NJ. Cope says. it is
"a surprising fact that the Legion of
Honor, which has existed for "A CEN
Honor. which has existed TO IA CEN
fury. and which the various regimes
that have ruled over France have tend
ed consciously or otherwise to depreci-
ate. has maintained an incontestable
prestige. 1t is astonishing, but it is
true and nothing proves better to
us the tremendous force of Napoleons
nobility among the de-
mocracy.
Only last year the jewel which bears
the significant device, "Honneour ct
Patrie,' was bestowed upon humble
sister of charity for conspicuous BRAY
cry in good work.
There are about $50 American MEM
bers of the Legion of Honor. and there
is some falk of forming these into a
society. Archbishop Ireland is a knight
commander of the order, of which there
are thirteen in this country.

Che CWo Brothers. f. Ry 6 Srssfss
Controversial Dialogue Between Presbyterian and His
Catholic Brother, and It's Sequel.

Our last weeks installment of the
controversy concluded with a charge
on the part of James Milwood that
Catholics were idoIators. and worshiped
the images OF saints and relics. Men
ton was made of the pilgrimage to the
Holy Coat at Treves, and Catholics
prayed to this relic, saying: 20 Holy
Coat, have mercy on u.s.
1.-The evidence of what you assert?'
demanded his brother John.
1T is said So" replied James.
by whom and on what authority"
DO you deny it ~
Deny it? Do you suppose Catholics
are so besotted as to pray to what has
nc life. no sense, no power to help
them. and that, too, when their church,
as 1 showed you yesterday, positively
prohibits praying to relics? The thing
is impossible; no Catholic ever did, or
ever could, utter such a prayer. You
must not judge our people by your own.
We preserve and we honor the relics
of departed saints; they remind us of
the worth of the saints: and when
they do so we pray to the saints to
pray to God for us, and procure for US
the graces and favors we need. What
precept of the law of nature does this
v:olate?"
James directs the question following.

TORTURE OF FILIPINos.
Made Bait For Ants of a Man Who
Would Not Talk.

Washington. May 6.-During the
debate on the Philippine measure
today. Mr.. Beveridge of Indiana
a member of the Philippine commits
sion, addressed the senate to correct, as
he said, an unintentional misstatement
made by Mr.. Rawlins of Utah concern
ing the application of the water cure
to Filipinos who had burned Sergeant
OHerne to death. He read from the
testimony to show that Mr.. Rawlins
statement was not accurate.
Mr.. Hoar inquired if it was fact
proved by testimony, that American
soldiers had tortured Filipinos until
they had confessed to the commission
of crime
Mr.. Beveridge said it has been proved
| that the water cure had been admins
tered in the dreadful OHerne case. BY
the confession of the Filipinos to whom
the water cure had been given. it was
learned that O'Herne had been burned
to death over a slow fire. and that his
body subsequently had been cut to
pieces.
The confession of the Filipinos in
Guided the location of O'Herne's re-
mains.
"oo tHiS HluTuST proved Dy any
other testimony than that given in
the testimony of the tortured Fill
ipinos?" inquired Mr.. Hoar.
Not that 1 know Of replied Mr..
Beveridge, but that evidence was con-
elusive
Mr.. Beveridge and Mr.. Patterson be-
came involved in a spirited coIloquy
over the treatment of the Filipinos by
the American soldiers, which was inter
rupted by Mr.. Carmack of Tennessee,
saying:
The conduct of American soldiers
in the Philippines was uniformly kind
Wherever it was permitted to be so. In
cases where it was otherwise they were
driven to the cruelties by their superior
officers"
Mr.. Beveridge said he was glad at
this late date to hear an apology for
attacks made upon the American SOL
dlers, and inquired if Mr. Carmack
could mention more than a single in
stance where an officer had ordered the
administration of torture to Filipino.
Mr.. Carmack replied that he had not
referred to any special orders. but that
the general orders of Generals Bell and
Chaffee indicated that in the opinion Of
those officers the American troops
We're treating the Filipinos too kindly
Mr.. Beverage ridicued this answer
of Mr.. Carmack, declaring that when
he asked him a direct question he re-
ferred in a diaphanous way to the or
ders of Bell and Chaffee
Mr.. Rawlins of Utah contended that
every statement he had made in his
discussion of this question was essen
TALLY accurate. He discussed the
0'Herne case and said that the i'm
preston he had gotten from the testi-
mony was that the Filipinos had been
induced to make the confession sug-
gested to them by the administration
of the water cure. He resented Mr..
Beveridge's imputation that the minor
ity was arraigning the American sol
1iers Mr.. Rawlins said outrages in the
Philippines were due, not to the SOL
Hers themselves, but the highest mill
-ary authorities in the islands. The

be placed properly at the door of the
