He strolled about the mansion that night and enjoyed himself. happiest of the happy.
 While he has never before celebrated pontifical high mass in a Washington church. the Cardinal Is a frequent vls- itor to this city, where he enjoys the higher society. He oftens breaks bread with the President and with others of high station.
 Reference having been herein made to a general prayer in English for the coun- try and It's rulers said at the conclusion of high mass In the Catholic churches of Washington, it will be of interest to note that the prayer embraces the President and Congress, all the judges throughout the country, all the State Legislatures their excelencies the governors of the various states" and the general welfare
 This prayer is of course not a part of the mass proper. since the same mass in Latin Is said in every Catholic church in the world, nor is 1t in the ordinary prayer book used by Catholic in this country, which is in both Latin and En- glish. It is therefore presumed to be a special prayer said by the priests only; for one may hear it said by any number of different priests at different times. The language of the prayer is most ex- quisite and eloquent English.

HOW STAGE ANIMALS ARE MADE TO WORK

 A dragon, thirteen feet long, and emit ting flames, looks as If he had stepped out of the book of fairy tales. The flames however, are real enough, and a man inside gnites and pans the spirit-satur- ated cotton-wlth his breath. It is out of canvas mouth. too, that they come, but the mouth is fitted with asbestos cloth.
 Stage rats introduce another method of locomotion on the part of annanimate straw and canvas. Power to move is i'm parted to them from without by means of invisible wires attached to their noses and manipulated from behind the scenes. Their movement consists of only glide and that is as nearly as possible the true movement of the real rat. Stage rats may glide in a straight line or they may zigzag and perform in more or less elaborate ways, according to the arrange ments made on the stage.

 Assuredly patriotism can reach no high CT level than this.
 At the conclusion of the mass today Cardinal Gibbons advanced to the altar rail and imparted the papal benediction. And then the procession was reformed and passed down the wide center aisle of the great church and on over the way 1t had came.
 It was estimated that four thousand people were unable to gain admission to the church; and amongst the multitude gathered to do honor to the Cardinal were many of the most distinguished men who are non n-Catholic in public life in this country. Those who were In the church listened to a sermon from pr. Stafford, which 1t is believed even his greatness never surpassed

 The other night the Cardinal was one of the hundreds of notable people who thronged the White House at the Pres ident's reception. He took his place in line just as a department clerk might had such clerk been invited. and those who did not know him by sight and did not observe the red skullcap he wore would never have dreamed that the little man of no pretensions whatever was the immediate spiritual chief of nearly one fifth of the nation over which the Pres ident rules.

Unlike poets, stage animals are made mot born. Building elephants lions, monsters of the deep and caricatures of various members of the animal tribe is a real art, as evdry sAage carpenter, scene painter and property man will read fly admit.
 And when they have been completed and make their first appearance before the footlights they act very much like real animals. If they can roll an eye, switch a trunk or tail or nod a head, they will roll, switch or nod just as long as they think anybody is looking.
 This weakness for; showing off gets them into trouble sometimes, just as weaknesses in general get real animals into trouble.
 One particular elephant, fresh from the stage animal factory, will go down in his- tory as a case in point. He received his cue while standing in the wings of a London theatre, and went on switching with great vigor, freely moving and newly painted tail. Unfortunately the woody end of the tail in it's abandoned flights caught a gas jet and was instantly set on fire. The blaze spread rapidly as dry gummy canvas and paint could make it. Fortunately for the tive men inside the elephant, the flames were on top and they pranced across the stage. totally un- aware of the fire until stopped by a stream of water from the nozzle of line of hose.
 One of the cleverest elephants on the stage today was made for a celebrated performer. It picks up biscuits with it's trunk and puts them in its mouth. The

THE BoERs' STRENGTH.

From the Boston Herald.
 How many Boers are there left fighting in South Africa? This ques- tion has been asked time and time again, and each estimate seems to vary from all those previously given. According to the official returns of the British war department, there were in 1901, up to the last of May, 264O Boers who were put out of action either by being killed, taken prisoners or by surrenders. Since May the official reports give the Boer killed as 11S2, the wounded as TOT, the pris- oners taken as 81S6 and the surrenders as 2172, making the total number of Boers who were thus put of action in the year 14,887, or just about the number that was estimated as the total strength of the Boer forces in January last. A little over two months ago MT. Brodrick, in answering the old question of how many Boers there were in the field, sad that the gov ernment estimated that there were still 10000 men in arms. Since that estimate was given some 2590 Boers have beeh put out of action, accord ing to official returns, leaving less than 7500 to continue the struggle From these figures one of three things is certain, either the British estimates of the Boers put out of ac- ton are very greatly exaggerated, or the original number of Boer troops than was at first estimated, or, what is possibly the most reasonable of all the three, the Boers nave been able to keep up their strength to quite an extent by means of recruiting. But where do they find the guns, the am munition and the horses to supply their troops? There must be big leaks somewhere, for those things cannot be stamped out of the ground. During 1901 the British captured 5S3S rifles, or, roughly speaking, one for each third Boer they put out of ac- tion. In the same time they took 4O,S48 horses and 5750 wagons. AS we have said before, when the war ends one of the most interesting ques- tions to be answered is how the Boer leaders were able to supply them selves with guns and ammunition, and also to keep their horses in condi- tion that would allow them to escape from the British pursuing columns.

No More Cheap Beef.

Will this country ever see cheap
meat again? This is a question that
is being discussed by trose familiar
with the conditions surrounding the
meat food supply of the country, says
Denver Record -Stockman. There is
plenty of argument to show that while
prices will be lower than at present,
the low prices of only a few years ago
have passed, never to return, The two
REQUESTS for cheap meat under present
conditions are cheap corn ond cheap
stock There is reason to believe that
with the increased use of corn by the
world, cheap corn as it has been
known in the past in this country will
never agaiu be seen tn the future. The
settling of the great arid public lands
of the west has gradually made cheap
stock Improbable. The modern meat
food animal is bred especially for the
purpose and. good blood is not cheap.
There is just one chance for cheap
meat in the future. The chance is
buried in the great undeveloped west.
Government assistance to irrigation
and high prices for meat are the in
ducements that may encourage the
western stock farmer to build up the
supply which will evetually lead to
reasonable prices-possibly not as
in the past, but still low enough to al
low the people to eat freely of this food.
Without the assistance of the west the

To Stop Frauds.

Making proof upon land filings is
not as easy these days as few years
ago. The department has awakened
to the fact that great frauds have been
committed and it is evidently endeavor-
ing to put stop to them. Especially
is this true in the matter of commuted
homestead entries. In five year proofs
there is very little fraud committed,
but it has become quite a custom for
stockmen and farmers to have some
friend file homestead entry on some
desired land and make proof on same
in fourteen months, after which the
land is Immediately decided to the per
son in whose interest the entry was
made. The law requires residence
upon the land, not merely a visit to
the land once in six months, but actual
residence thereon and though permit
ting the homesteader to be absent for d
short period earning wages for the inn
provement of the land, residence must
be thereon at least six months of the
year and continuous when not engaged
as before stated.
