Peach Pits

The statement has been made that
prussic acid was made from peach
stones. This is altogether q mistake,
for, although under certain conditions
a trace Of the main principle Of the
deadly poison can be found in peach
stones, there is not sufficient to pro-
duce the acid without other essential
ingredients. Indeed, without the proc
ess of fermentation there is no evidence
at all of prussic acid in the stones.-Ex-

EIizabethan Excise Laws.

In striking contrast to the present
laws to prevent habitual drunkenness
were those passed in the reign of Queen
Elizabeth. The Lansdowne manuscripts
in the British museum record that in
1894 orders were set down by the lords
and others of her majesty's privy coun-
sci for the reformation of the great dis
orders committed by the excessive
number of alehouses, which the JUS
tees were ordered to reduce. The pub
licans were compelled to give to the
constable of the parish the name and
business of every one who frequented
their houses and were forbidden to
have any games played therein. On
Sundays no persons dwelling within a
mile of the public house We're allowed
to enter except substantial household
ers travelling to church, and then only
for q reasonable time to refresh them
selves. CuriOusly, the chief complaint
against publicans was the brewing

Of modern progress and he recognized
the potency of modern ideas. A man
Of narrow mind might have come forth
as n champion against them, but not
such a man was Leo. Intolerance
formed no part of his creed; class
prejudices found no favor in his eyes.
In his mastery encyclicals he spoke au-
thoritatively and most wisely, not al
ways on purely ecclesiastical subjects,
but very often also on subjects which
are of worldwide secular interest.
Thus he was more than an eccelsiastic;
he was also a great statesman. OF his
personal character, all who were ever
privileged TO know him, have spoken In
the highest terms. That he was very
charitable and kindly is known to all,
In a word, he bore himself nobly in his
high Office, and now that he has gone
to his reward all who have watched his
sterling and loyal work viii admit that
he was true and eminently sagacious
shepherd OF the people
Many anecdotes have been related as
to the personal characteristics of Pope
Leo XIII. He was accessible and affa-
BILE to all who sought an audience and
consequently thousands of those who
have visited Rome retain vivid i'm
pressions of the Pontllf. Simplicity
and frugality of living enabled him to
husband his strength and to accomplish
an amount Of work devolving upon him
as "head of the church." which to
many men Of greater physical strength
would have seemed appalling. But
Pope Leo XIII. was well entitled to be
considered in many respects the grand.
est old man of the age.

arch, and the eyes were singularly
mild and soft and, at the same time,
penetrating and searching. The large,
well-dehned nose was characteristic of
hrmness and will power, decidedly
Roman In shape, but with wide nostrlIs
that were credited by physiognomsts
with bold leonine qualities.
His handwriting is peculiar enough
to excite interest even If 1t were not
that Of the Pope. 1t is exceedingly
small, and of very careful, laborious
construction, as IL each of the infinites-
imal characters was formed with the
most painstaking care. In its airy deli
cacy 1t resembles a lady's hand. but
the mosaic elaboration OF every stroke
has something highly scholastic about
1t. Under his diminutive signature
the Pope left half an inch Of vacant
space and then completed it by FIVE
dashes, growing successfully smaller
and smaller.
Pope Leo XIII. had a marvellous
memory which he retained up to the
last. Speaking Of him In December
1896, Archbishop Stonor, who frequent.
ly attended on him. said:
"He recollects many Of the people he
receives after Intervals of as long as
sixty years. Many years ago, when
Lord Palmerston was Premier, His
Holiness visited England, and was pre-
scented to the Queen and Prince Con-
sort OF that visit he still remembers
the small details, and only a short time
ago be mentioned Sir James Graham,
