wooden garments worn by the pope, is
made from the fleece OF a special flock
of sheep dedicated to this purpose and
owned by family that has since the mid
die of the sixteenth century enjoyed the
privilege. -..,-
From this herd of fifty sheep, a number
of lambs are. set aside each year. On
Jan p these lambs are taken to the
pope and, in an impressive ceremony, re
ceive the papal blessing. After that, they
are kept for year at a convent near
Rome and are cared for in the most elab-
oratc and punctilious fashion. z-
The year being passed, the lambs are
shorn and the nuns weave the fleece into
palliums for the pope. The pallium, a
long strip of white wool, adorned only by
a gold cross at each end, is the most
sacred of priestly vestments, and is worn
around the neck and body, the ends fall
Leo wears one of his many palliums it
must lie for a certain length Of time upon
the sarcophagus of st. Peter.
Many Of the papal vestments are set
with rich jewels and stiff with gold and
silver; but these gorgeous garments are
seldom worn since the vatican lost its
temporal power and the pope has given
up grand public ceremonies One of the
jeweled robes, the famous cappa magma,
or great cape, is so thickly set with
gems that its weight alone would prevent
the old and frail pope from wearing it,
Pope Leo XIII. is fond of jewels and has
a remarkably valuable collection Of rings,
but only three of them are official The
fisherman ring, carved with a repre-
sentation of St. Peter fishing, is the pope S
official signet ring and is destroyed at the
death of the wearer, duplicate being
made for his successor. ~

"A -PASTEBOARD CROWN"

The significant title chosen by Clara
Morris for her forthcoming novel of the
New York stage, "a Pasteboard Crown
finds its suggestion in the passage from
one of the earlier chapters here quoted.
The heroine, girl of no stage expert
ence, and the ctor-manager are repre-
sented standing before a portrait of Mrs.
Siddons in character, wearing the crown
of her role:
The actor laughed derisively. "A paste
board CROWN" he cried $50 thinly COW
cred with gold-leaf you dare not try to
burnish it!''
you do not mean that, Mr. Thrall!"
II do mean it. A cheap and gaudy
thing, the outside blazing with rare jew
els made of glass! Inside, paper, glue
pasteboard crown! A thing worthless.
meaningless '--
MOI! protested the girl; your words
are very cruel. I do not think you right
ly judge the value of the Crown Dramatic,
for even If it were but pasteboard it
would not be worthless or meaningless.
1t would still be a sign, a symbol, of ar
tistic triumph, of true excellence, Of the
worlds approval"
You are obstinate" he declared.
"And you are. not grateful to your pro-
fession. I'm afraid" she said, reproach-
fully; then she hurriedly added: 81 beg
your pardon! OF course you know Of
what you speak, and l am very presuming
in my ignorance, but''-she clasped her
hands tightly above the rose on her breast
81 long to wear that crown some day.
A few red petals fell from the rose and
were caught in Thrall's hand. He
glanced at SYPHILIS rapt young face-his
resolve was taken. "You shall have your
WISH he said. 81 will place the crown
upon your head; only promise not to re-
proach me when you find for yourself that
it is only pasteboard."

THE WARDROBE OF THE POPE
Vast Number of Garments Required
by Custom-Priceless Laces in 1t.

New York Sun.
Few rulers are surrounded with more
ceremony and magnihcence than the
princes Of the church. AS for the pope
himself, etiquette and tradition have i'm
posed upon him sllmptuous magnifcence,
and the wardrobe of Leo XIII is the larg-
est and most costly the wide world has
to show.
Three large rooms in the vatican are
given over to it and many servants are
constantly at work keeping the vestments
in order There are garments set aside
for each day in the year, and varying in
color, weight and value according to the
occasion and the season.
In Lent the papa1 raiment from shoes
to cap is of scarlet. The Easter season
calls for white. Other holy days demand
other colors.
Every item of each costume is the finest
and richest of its kind. The surplices worn
at audiences are Of priceless old lace.
Nowhere In Europe is there a more valu-
able and interesting collection of lace.
The slippers of the pope are legion and
each pair is of finest velvet. The right
slipper which is kissed by pilgrims and
other pious visitors. bears cross in gold
embroidery; while, on the left, are en-
broidered the crest keys, tiara and pal
lium which make up the crest of the
Roman church.
But the slippers fade into insignifcance
before the value of the innumerable pairs
| of gloves. These gloves are of finest white
wool.
| That sounds modest; but, as it happens
the wool is embroidered in costly pearls
The material for the gloves, as for all

dynamite, it need not throw so much
Half ton of dynamite equally distribut-
ed over New York would undoubtedly pro-
vide ample spaces for rebuilding. The
cables describe this pleasing new inven-
tion as an electro magnetic affair. It
uses no powder or other explosive in
throwing the she'll. No details of the in
vention are given, but it is easy to see
how a. series of electro magnets set at
convenient spaces along the length Of a
barrel might do the trick. The ball
would be drawn forward by a powerful
magnet, and just as the latter reached the
n oment of maximum intensity in the
magnetic field it could be made to strike
some little mechanism which would
break the electric circuit of the magnet;
in an instant the magnet would be dead,
and the momentum of the she'll would
carry it into the field of the next magnet
of the series along the tube. Powerful
electro gnets are made nowadays cap
able Of lifting a ton or so, and half a
dozen Of them would give tremendous
velocity to a heavy ball. AS there would
be no conclusion in the discharge Of the
J
deadly explosives known. 1t would be
cheap, too, both to build and operate, for
practically it would never wear out, while
the big guns of to-day have an average
life of but 100 shots: 1t would be noise
less and smokeless, and as a projectile at
high speed is invisible for the most part,
battery could operate without in the
least disclosing it's whereabouts. And
armies would have no warning of its pres
ence until the rain of hail which it could
produce came down upon them. No Won
der artillery experts in Europe are said to
be excited. The invention is described
as the work of Professor Birkeland, "a
Norwegian physicist" If this be the dis
tinguished professor of physics at Chris
tiania, it may be set down that the in
vention is not cable yarn. At any rate,
we hope it isn't. A gun that will shoot
ninety miles might inconveniently reach
the people who make war-congressmen
and kings and such-and expose them to
danger. The moment this result is at
ta:ned, it may safely be prophesied that
war will have come to an end.
