Father Farley and secretary to Card
inal McC.oskey, journeyed to Rome
with his eminence for the purpose OF
participating in the election. When
the cardinal and his secretary arrived
Leo had already been elected. Before
leaving Rome the young priest sought
an audience with his holiness, who
happened at the moment to be in
mood for raillery. Cardinal Nc
Closkey did not vote for me" said the
pontiff, eyeing Father Farley with
mock severity. The priest hastened
to assure his holiness that it was only
because he had arrived too late. And

the pope. The young priest exclaimed
emphatically: you bet!" When the
phrase was fully explained to Pope
Leo he laughed heartily.

Valuable to Risk.

May Irwin has colored cook of the
kind usually referred to by mistresses
as "a jewel" Not long ago nanny
was taken i'll and Miss Irwin sensibly
decided that the patient would be bet

The cook recovered in fine shape and
was about to return to her kitchen,
when the doctors decided that slight
operation was advisable. Nanny
did not like this prospect, but left it
to Miss May" The latter listened
carefully to what the doctors had to
say, and then gave this decision, much
to the patients delight: NO. She's
too good cook. cant take any
chances" And that same afternoon

A Poppy Plneushlon.

All you require to make n poppy

narrow green ribbon.
Cut the black material into a circle

the edge with some very strong black
thread. about one-quarter inch from
the outside: fll the center with saw
dust. and draw the ,etton up tightly
so that It forms n little puddlngllko
pad, and fasten on the cotton firmly.
Next cut out some large .-oppy leaves
out OF the red paper and sew them
round the black center, so that It re-
sembles a flower. When you have got
the leaves in position. make the back
neat by sewing another piece of black
stuff round the gathered up part, and
then double the ribbon and sew tho
doubled end firmly TO tho back OF the
pad. tying the ends into a pretty bow
just above the poppy to hang It up by.
Then gently press out tho edge OF
ench Of the paper leaves and stick tho

course, have pink poppies. or yellow.

a Trick With Dice.


You can mystify your friends by
telling the numbers on a pair of dice
without seeing them: Ask some one
to throw the dico without your see
ing them. and tell the person to
choose one of the numbers and multi
ply It by two, add FIVE and multiply
this by Eve, adding the remaining
number on the other dice. When the
person tells you the result subtract
mentally twenty-five from the number
he has obtained, and the remainder
will be two figures representing the
two numbers on the dice, Here is the
way It is done: Suppose the num-
bers thrown TO be six and three. Six
multiplied by two would be twelve.
fiye added make seventeen. multiply
by five is eighty-fiye. with three
added make eighty-three; from this
subtract twenty-five. and 1t gives as a
result y-three-six, three being
the numbers thrown.
This can be worked with the same
result II the person throwing the dice
uulfiplies the three instead of the
six, the result in that case being
thlrty-six instead of sixty-three.

see by the drawing tina. the zinc is
at least quarter OF an inch above
the bottom of the can.
The next thing required is steel
chips. which can be obtained at any
machine shop free of cost; they should
be packed between the gauze cylinder
and the outer tin can. The battery
is then ready TO be charged.
The fluid for this battery Is caustic
potash and should be mixed in the
following proportions: Take one-half
pound caustlc potash and add one
pint OF water; put this into your
battery and pour little nondryiug oil
on top of the liquid and close up with
cover.
These cells should be filled about
three-quarters. and under no circum-
stances should they be placed so near
as to touch each other, without some
insulating material between them. Tho
e. m. T. (electro-motiye force)is about
i.5 volts.
Care should be taken in mixing tho
caustic potash, as It will burn any
thing It comes in contact with.

The late Cardinal Vaughan was
probably the handsomest and most

ecclesiastical hierarchy. Just as Card.

ascetic, so Manning looked true
Roman prince Of the church. But he
was most simple in his tastes and
habits Several times Roman Catho-
lie ladies' presented him with costly
robes, and on one occasion they pre-
sented him with carriage. But they
found that he sold their gifts and
spent the money in charity. They
therefore at last lent" him robes and

now said to be living in a charming
little German nook in the valley of

daughter is the guest of her former
German governess, a lady of some
means, who has taken pity on the pu-
pill whom she initiated into the mys-
teries of the Teutonic tongue and
whom she taught to read Goethe, Schil-

her family.
