Philadelphia, Aug. Archbishop
Ryan, who returned Tuesday from his

in regard to his attitude on the ques-

my position in regard to the friars in

MOST ANCIENT OF CROWNS.
The Iron Crown OF lembaray, Wpieh

Among the crowns preserving the
ancient form more than any Others
now worn is the so-called iron crown
of Lombardy, which is the most treas.
ured national possession of the Italian
Kingdom, says an article by the Dnki
of Argyle, in Leslie's Monthly. It Is
of golden "plaques,n or panels rather
longer than they are high, but small
in size, 80 as not to rise above the Ton
OF the head. They form, indeed, ONLY
jointed band of foliaged, embossed
relief-work, and one narrow wire of
iron binds them together in the inside
this wire having the repute of being
hammered out from one of the nails
of our Saviour's cross. 1t was the en-
aargemeat ot these papels in other
crowns which led to the cross-band OF Of
"closnre" Of the crown. Look at the
German crown and the Austrian, both
adaptations of that of the old EN-
perors of the "Holy Roman Empire. .

Changes.
We hurry along with the restless throng,
IN this busy world. to which we belong, +,
Flaming our own little plans and designs
Measuring life on our own little lines;
Nor dreaming, as onward we madly race,
The Changes awaiting our feyered pace;
TIL suddenly round life's corners we
sway
And they meet US face to face. in the way.
Some meet us with smiling, radiant eye,
Illuming our hearts, like suniit sky,
Some meet US with sighings, and some
with fears,
And others-are messengers of tears;
Be they the Changes of veal or woe
We little dream-we little know.

A Difficult Problem.

D1WCult FrODleIus
The state board of control is
alarmed by fear that it will be unable
to accommodate all the inebriates and
dipsomaniacs committed to the ward
for that class of unfortunates estab-
lished at Mount Pleasant hospital. 1t
has been informed of actions begun
or contemplated in almost every coun-
ty in the state, affecting from one to
five persons. The ward will not &C.
commodate more than so or 60, and
how to care for all that are commit
ted is problem. The board has trans
ferred to the ward 20 men who were
sent to the hospitals nominally insane
but really inebriates, before the new
law passed. The board receives word,
however, that the fear of commitment
under the new law is having good
moral effect.
Value of Personal Property.
The compilation of the reports Of
the assessors to the auditor of state
shows that the taxable value of per-
sonalty increased about $13,0oO,oO0
during the past year. The realty
is assessed at about $4,000, 900.
The personally is up to about s107, OoO,-

classes of personally, the taxable
value being one-fourth of the actual.

the Philippines, and have retained

Marvellous -R ecord.
Forty per cent. of the patients adj
mitted to the state hospital at Mount
Pleasant during the past year were
discharged cured. This record is re-
garded by alienists as, marvellous. The
per cent. OF cures of insane people
has constantly increased, however,
and the board of control is anxious for
the state hospitals to make record
of so per cent. cures. Superintendent
Apologize, of the Mount Pleasant in
stitution, says that the reason the
per cent. is Increasing is because the
people have come to have more conf
depce in the care the state affords at
its institutions, and they are commit
ting their insane relatives to the insti-
buttons at an early stage in their de-
meatia, Fhis aids in the cures.
Demand Larger Margins.
The representatives of the grain
houses having agencies in Iowa held a
conference in Des Moines the past
week and decided to exact deposits of
larger margins by those doing ira ding
in grain, in the futnrs. This, is due to
the unsettled condition of the mar
ket. the quick rises and sudden falls
and the liability of difficulty with pa
irons over carrying deals for them.
Heretofore any deal has been carried
which has been margined for one to
three cents. Hereafter some of the
most speculative deals will have to be
margined ten cents,
