The Patriarch of Venice.

The patriarchate of Venice, which
Pope Plus X. has vacated though it has
an interesting history. is practically
merely an archbshopric like all the
modern patriarchates. The Patriarchs
precede the Archbishops in the list of the
Catholic clergy, and take precedence too,
in state ceremonials; but one of them,
the Archbishop of Toledo, who is also
Patriarch of the Indies, always puts his
Archbshops title first. There are differ
ences, too. in dress and in the insignia.
There are fourteen Patriarchs, some
representatives of historic sees which
once struggled with Rome for the pri-
macy, but which now are in lands where
Roman Catholics are very few: the Pa
triarchs of Constantinople, Jerusalem
two for decentralization the Latins and
for the Copts four for Antioch for the
Syrians, the Marontes, the Latins and the
Melchite Greeks; Babylon of the Chal-
deans and Cilicia of the Armenians
Others of modern creation are attached
to Catholic sees Which had colonial pos
sessions. These are Lisbon, the West
Indies joined to Toledo, and the East
Indies, added by LEO Kill. to the title Of
the Archbishop of Goa.
Venice is the heir Of Aquileia, which
from the sixth century, as the religious
head Of the Byzantine exarchate on the
Adriatic was the rival of Rome for the
headship of the Western Church. 1t had
declined, however before Venice be-
came great, and for centuries its story
is merely of disputes with its otfshoot
Grade till the patriarchate, by that
time bishopric like any other, was
transferred TO Venice.

HE HAD THE BEST OF 1T.
Drink Had Cost Him Many Oppor-
tunttfes, Hut He Was Still
Alive.

He was an elderly man, very disrep-
utable in appearance, and showing all
the signs of having been on spree.
His niece, whom he had not seen for
some years, had come across him on
Twenty-eighth street quite by accident
and had taken him home and given him
"a square meal" He expressed his
thanks and they sat for some time talk
ing about the people they both knew
and what had become of them. The
niece, who was married, was inclined to
resent the waywardness of this partic-
ular member of her family, and at last
gave expression to her thoughts, says
the New York Times.
"Jim," she said, severely, why don't
you turn over a new leaf and be man.
Why, If it hadn't been for drink you'd
be worth lot of money now. You've
had lots of opportunities. but drins has
always kept you poor. And now look
what you are"
He looked at her minute or so in si-
lence. There was resentful CLEAN in
his eye that was half plying.
'Umph!" he murmured. Then, after
pause: Sue. your father was tee

YANKEE INVENTIONS.
Chinese Newspaper in the Philip
pines Describes an Ingenious
American Continuance.

Admiral Dewey was prominent figure at
the Saratoga races. Uusually he occupied a
box. One afternoon little party of farmers
came up to shake hands with him, and there
after, naturally, the talk turned to agricul-
ture, says the Boston Post.
When was in the Philippines" said Ad-
miral Dewey, IAN American resident brought
me, one day, a Chinese paper. He said this
paper would interest me because it con-
tanned an account of an American invention.
Then, with a smile, he translated a para
graph that ran something like this:
THE ingenuity of the Yankee is typifed
well in a hens nest that he has recently in
vented and patented. This nest increases
the laying capacity of the hens to an IN
limited degree. In the bottom of it there is
a trap door, governed by delicate spring.
The hen lays an egg, the weight of which
causes the trap door to open, whereupon the
egg drops down into a subterranean COM
partment, and the door closes very swiftly
and silently again. The hen gets up, turns
to look at the egg, but sees none there. So
she decides that she must be mistaken in
thinking she had laid, and she site down
again and deposits another egg, which, like
its predecessor, disappears. The process
continues Indefinitely.

HIS EFFORTS UNAvAILING.
Youth with Distasteful Hair Deter
mines to Change It's Color
at All Hazards.

Many and varied are the tales told of
the efforts of some girls and women, too,
for that matter, to change the color of
their hair to some hue more desirable
than that of natures bestowing, but
it is not often that one hears of boy
OF 16 wasting any gray matter worrying
over his hair, whatever interest he may
otherwise take in his personal appear
lnce. There is one boy OF that age in
town. however, says the Brooklyn
Eagle, who thinks that nature might
have been more kind to him and who
strenuously objects to his Titan hued
locks. To no avail have his mother and
sisters assured him that his curly hair is
"a perfectly lovely auburn shade and
in the way of tonic and hair oil that the
boy could obtain he has secured and
used, without in the least dimming its
brightness, but he capped the climax by
his latest exploit. From some source
or other he got bottle of ebony colored
dye, warranted to take the fire out of
the reddest hair that ever grew on hui
man head and to color the glowing locks
inky black instead. Fearing discovery
while in the act of changing red to
black the boy daubed the mixture on
hurriedly and without the aid of mir
ror. Then he went to bed. The next
morning he faced his astonished rela-
tives at the breakfast table with the
front part of his hair a dingy black,
showing an occasional strand of red,
and the remainder of his locks as bright
as they ever were. Explanations fol-
lowed, so did prolonged interview
with the barber and a lecture on the
folly of amateur efforts at hair painting.
Nothing further has been attempted by
The boy for a month or so, but he has
not given up hopes Of success by and
by, and declares that he's not going to
keep on having red hair when he's a
man, no matter what he has to do to
change It,"

Dainty AccessOries and Pretty Ma

There is q fad abroad for wearing
tiny fans in the sleeve, la Japonaise.

Among the prettiest materials Of the
year are the new silk grenadines. They
are as sheer as gauze, and have fine
satiny finish. White grenadine with a
pattern of strewn roses formed the ma

Among dainty accessories to the tot

but none prettier than the plain, long
scarfs of liberty gauze which come in

they fold up in very small space. A

hesitated to give their testimonials to

This remains true today of most pro-

low stations, that no one hesitates to
see his name in print recommending

The highest men in our nation have
given Peruna strong endorsement.

The Time to Pick Frult

There is an opinion held by many
growers that apples keep better il they
are picked before they are ripe, and as
a result the fruit is often picked and
packed before it is fully grown. Tests
in cold storage show that fruit that has
not been allowed to become fully grown
on the trees is usually damaged to con-
siderable extent by scald, and that it
also shrivels somewhat. For the best
results the fruit should be ripe, but not
what is termed dead ripe" If overripe
it does not keep well in cold storage,
and should not be used for exhibition
purposes.-Orange Judd Farmer.
