ticipate in the Diamond Gu voting con-
test, writes us as follows: - have read

Diamond &C" soap Is it good soap?
How good? What does it sell for2''
These questions are timely and rele-
want and serve to remind us that in ex-
plotting the contest we have almost lost
sight of the fact that, after all, the soap
itself is the most important factor in
the whole thing.

know how to make it. Tt does its work

COSTLY GLOVES.
Worn by Pope Woven From Wool of
Dedicated Sheep.

New York Commercial.
Speaking of the Pope's wardrobe" said
Mcdonnell Mcknight. Tombstone tailor,
just returned from a pilgrimage to Rome,
and staying at the Holland House, 1.-The
Commercial didn't half tell the story
the other day. 1t never mentioned the
gloves of His Holiness at all. Why, now,
these wonderful slippers fall into insig-
nificance with the value of the innum-
cradle pairs of hand-gear Most of them
are of the very finest white wool. That
sounds modest. but, as it happens. the
wool is embroidered in costly pearls.
"The material for the gloves, as for
the wooden garments worn by the Pope,
is made from the fleece of a special flock
of sheep dedicated to this purpose and
owned by a family that has since the
middle of the sixteenth century enjoyed
the privilege.
From this herd of fifty sheep a number
of lambs are set aside each year On
January q these lambs are taken to the
Pope, and in an impressive ceremony re-
celve the papal blessing. After that they
are kept for year in a convent near
Rome. are cared for in the most elahorate
and punctilous fashion. 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 gold cross
at each end is the most sacred of priestly
Vestments, and is worn around the neck
and body, the ends falling over the left
shoulder Before Pope Leo wears one OF
his many palliums it must lie for a GER

When Blanca was left alone she began
to sob.
In a short time the servant whom she
had sent to watch for the crowd returned.
The mob is coming"
Blanca wrapped herself in her shawl
and FASTENED into the corner parlor The
iron shutters were closed, but in the mid
die Of every one there was an ornamental
part through which one could look.
1t was an evening late in autumn, four
hours after sunset, and the lamps flick
cred gloomily in the breeze, but the square
upon which the Palace Cagliari stood. was
illuminated. Through the windows sound
ed lively music.
From the opposite corner of the square
came forth an indefinable crowd of peo-
pie. They can not be called people, for
that Is sacred name. A horde. Yes, 1t
was a horde of wild animals, like those
formerly disgorged from the caverns Of
the Colosseum-furious tigers. hyenas-
only that those of this crowd had the
form of men.
In the midst of the rabble they bear on
their shoulders a man sitting in sedan
chair, like the Pope during passion week;
near him are two men carrying two large
banners Torch bearers surround him,
and they are careful to illuminate the
face of the celebrated one.
Blanca recognized this terrible man as
the one whom she had seen when from
the tribune of St. Peters Church he de-
seended with a rope around his neck, and
whom even his own child had feared to
approach.
Now the multitude roar 'Evviva' at
him. A woman carrying a child in her
arms is very happy because she Is able
to reach the throne upon which he sits:

after another, she advances to the cele-
brated one, and with both hands raises
her child SO that it may kiss the hand
from which the blood has not yet been
