ROYAL RELATIVES MUST NOT
MARRY.

The Pope's announcement to the reign
ing houses of Europe that he would
grant 10 more dispensations for con-
sanguineous marriages has aroused much
concern in those countries where the
royal families are members of the
Catholic Church. This unexpected and
revolutionary dictum from the Pope
willchicfy affect the Austrian house
of the Hapsburgs, the Bourbons
of Spain aud Italy, Portugal, Bel
GUM, bavaria, Wurtemburg and other
Prussian principal;ties, all Of which owe
spiritual allegiance to the Vatican.
Great Britain Is, Of course, not included,
nor is Russia, which, although Catholic,
is attached to the Church Of Greece.
By this edict the Pope hopes TO pre-
vent ia;er-marriagcs and the degenera-
ton which 50 frequently follows them.
Ii is bound to have the most far-reach-
ing consequence. Should the Catholic
houses Of Europe ignore or violate the
wishes of the Pontil, they will be subject
20 accommodation. On the other
hand. the Observance Of them will abfo-
rate a custom of centuries and cause a
thorough Encouragement Of the lines OF
old-worid aristocracy.
From the beginning of the first Euro
pean dynasty known in history the mar
riage Of blood relations in the royal fam
ily has been observed as an unwritten
law. In some countries, indeed, it is
more than that, and it is net so long
since Michael, the second son OF the
Grand Duke Michael, Of Russia, was
excluded from the army and his estates
ior having married outside Of royalty.
The purpose Of the custom was to
place an impassablc barrier between the
lingIy houses and the people, but the
exclusion has according to the laws OF
nature, reacted upon the seions of royal
ty and It's dcplorable effects have long
been the theme Of scientists. The rem
cdv has always been obvious, and, so far
As the Catholic nations are concerned,

in Earopcan royalty are too numerous
for specification, being, indeed, almost
common. While some of the offspring
have escaped unhappy consequences,
chat is the exception rather than the
rule. Perhaps the most eminent ex-
ample within recent times is that of
Prince Henry Of Prussia, who recently
visited the United States.
The Prince was married in 1888 to
his first cousin, the Princess Irene of
/ llcssc, and they have three sons. All

treatment.

PfxEAPPLEs' DIGESTIVE JU1CE.-
During the past week or two the mar
kcts have been gluttcd with pineapples.
This fruit" says the London Lancet
the acknowledged authority upon sub
iects medical and hygienic, contains
digestive principle somewhat resembling
pepsin, buthaying greater digestive prop
erties than pepsin."
1t is called bromelin, and the same
paper goes on tosay that a small quantity
Of this bromelin will digest |, 900 times
its weight in few hours. This prin-
ciplc is found in the juice Of the fruit,
and IS destroyed by the cooking process,
but it is said to retain its efficiency in
the canned fruit. Now as pineapple
Yields nearly two pints Of juice, its
digestive power is high. According to
the Lancet, if a piece of pineapple be
laid upon a slice of raw beefsteak 4
coating of gclatinous matter will form
over tie meat, digcsting it, as it were.
This digestive principle may be obtained
in powder form by dissOlving salt in the
pineapple juice. 4 prccipitate is formed
which, unlike pepsin, will operate upon
an acid a neutral or even an alkaline
medium. This highly digestive prin-
ciple of the fruit seems to be an example
of the line of compensation in nature tC
coanteract the effects of the indigestiblC
woody fiber the pineapple contains.

Wife shot Dead In Fight Between Hus-

Newark, N. J., Dec. 25.-Returning
Unexpectedly to his home to-day, Jo-
seph Terry found his wife in company
with Frank Brady. During the fierce
fight which ensued, with Mrs. Terry as
the only witness, a revolver was dis
charged and the woman fell dead. shot
in the left breast. Terry when arrested
said he did not know how his wife met
her death; later he said she committed
suicide. AS there were no powder
marks on the woman's clothing the po-
lice discredit his statement and believe
that one of the two men, in an endeav-
or to shoot the other, accidentally kill
ed Mrs. Terry. Brady, who is from
Mahopac Falls, N. Y, walked into the
morgue later in the day and was ar
rested. He denied doing the shooting
and said the woman must have shot
herself. Brady is said to own the re-
volver which was discharged.

New York, Dec. 25,-New York enjoy
ed a White" Christmas this year.
Early in the morning snow began
steadily falling, and by the time people
were awake the ground was thickly
covered. The day was rather warm,
and in the afternoon the snow began to
melt.
In all the churches special Christmas
services We're held. Bishop Potter
preached in Grace P. E. church, his SER
mon being delivered after he had con-
secrated the magnificent new altar and
chancel just completed.
Archbishop Farley celebrated ponti-
fical high mass at St. Patrick's cathe~
dral. The mass was the first one cele-
brated by him since his elevation to the
arch-episcopate.
Dinners to the needy, to the sick and
those in prison were given by the score.
Feasts of regulation Christmas food
were served in all the hospitals, pris-
ons and charitable institutions through
out the city. Vansflled with food were
driven through the poorer sections of
the city. and dinners were given to
thousands in this way. Other trucks
were loaded with toys for the little
ones, and apparently the effort was
made to see that no one in Greater
New York should fail to receive some
gift.
The usual Christmas charity of the
Salvation army was carried out sue
cessfully. The army gave away nearly
600 dinners in the merning at Grand
Central Palace. Each dinner was cal
culated to feed five persons. 1t was
uncooked and served in basket
It is thought t1lat the Christmas OF
1902 excelled all previous ones in the
purchases of gifts and in the value oil
