Adrain ". was the only English
man ever elected pope. He had a
most singular name-Nicholas Brake
speare. He is said to have left Eng
land as a beggar, and to have become
a servant or lay brother in a monas-
terry near Avignon, in France, where
he studied with such diligence that in
1877, at the age of 81. he was elected
abbot. Pope Engenius Ill, that bril-
liant ascetic, soon discovered his mer-
its and made him cardinal bishop.
In 1854 he was elected pope against
his own inclination, and received the
formal congratulations of Henry II.
1t was Adrain ". who forced Fred
erick l. of Germany to hold his stir
rup while he mounted his horse.
though it took two days to make the
emperor yield the desired homage. 1t
is said that Frederick Frustrated him
self before the pope, kissed his foot,
held his stirrup and led the white
palfrey on which he rode.

The announcement says it is not
the purpose of the department to dis
turb routes already established, I'M
less they are manifestly unnecessary.
There are now on file in the depart
ment petitions for more routes that
will supply more than 100 families
than can be established with the pres
ent appropriation. This being the
case, the department does not feel it
wise, equitable or just to establish a
route supplying less than 100 fami-
lies to the exclusion of routes that
will supply more than 100 families.

number being the fundamental prin-

As long as all of the routes that
are asked for cannot be established
because of the lack of sufficient mon
ey, the routes that will supply the
greater number of families should
certainly have preference.

Oil from the sewing machine may be

When stitching thin fabrics by ma
