The Sign OF the Cross.

Did you ever pay attention to the
way in which very large number Of
Catholics make the sign of the cross?
do not believe anyone, unacquainted
with the ceremony, would suspect that
the motions made were intended to
signify the signing with the cross.
There is a wiggling with the fingers,
but nothing that can be traced into
signing Of the cross. OF course, know
that the disposition with which the
sign is made is the important part.
God knows what is intended, and IL the
intention is right that is vastly more
important than the outward sign. But
does the carelessness in execution
necessarily imply the right disposition? /?
Carelcssncss in execution tends to
heedlessness in intention. The sign of
the cross means so much, can do so
much that 1t ought to be made with
due reverence. Attempts tells US
what the cross means. "In the cross
is salvation, in the cross is life, in the
cross is protection from our enemies,
in the cross is infusion Of celestial
sweetness, in the cross is strength of
mind, in the cross Is the height of vir-
tue, in the cross is the perfection CT
sanctity. There is no salvation for the
soul, nor hope Of eternal life, but in
the Cross" Why not then make the
sign of the cross as If one meant It?

The Convent Parlor.

Most Catholics are familiar with the
convent parlor-wIvcs and daughters,
husbands and brothers, have waited in
1t, have greeted children and sisters
In 1t, have spent some sweet and pleas
ant hours, maybe with some venerable
reverend mother.
This same par1or is most often fur
nished on the same simple lines: a few
cane or Windsor chairs are ranged
against the walls, which are adorned
by few religious pictures.
Over the mantelpiece Is framed
portrait of the bishop or father direc-
tor. There is priedieu and cruciflx;
the wooden floor is spotlessly white or
stained brown, in front of the crate is
a wool or cloth hearth rug, on which
sleeps the convent cat.
Should the community be in the sub
urbs or in a country town, there is
generally garden or small shrubbery
outside.
Convent parlors are all places full of
old associations. What condolences are
given in them to some spouse Of
Christ, who can sympathize, help, d.
rect; what confessions are made by old
pupils who have met chance and
change, storm and stress, outside the
convent walls.
In quaint old world London square
there is parlor which is, in one sense.

Hogan's Snug Fortune.

A few years ago, Michael Hogan was
day laborer about the Westlake oil
wells, Southern California. HIS pay
was $40 a month, and his home was a
shanty among the oil derricks in the
western part of Los Angeles.
Five years ago his sole possessions
were a pair of strong arms, dogged
persistence and $3.50 in money saved
by pinching economy. He was ~

At the age of a he was million
aire.
Early in 1890, with his seasons pay
in his pocket, he started for the Klon-
dixie, and after intense hardship struck
gold in the Nome district. In the
summer of 1900 alone he washed out
over $1,400,000 of gold. to say nothing
Of later additions to his fortune. He
says of it's first effect on him:
II was amazed at my own luck and
I was almost crazy with the excite.
ment Of my fast increasing fortune.
It seemed as IL I could not make a
blunder as an inventor. I could have
made even more money If I had not
really grown tired of so much busi-
ness and nervous because Of loss Of
sleep, while my tide Of money was
rising" ...

ALLIGATOR PEARS.
Variety of the Fruit That Is P1en-
tiful I'm Porto Rico, But
Scarce Here.

Alligator pears have not grown any
cheaper since Porto Rico became a part
of the United States, and New Workers
salad is any more plentiful than it was
five or six years ago, when the fruit
began to be eaten in this CITY. There
has been no change in the prices.
The fruit companies do not import
the alligator pears, curiously enough,
and the supply here is rarely equal to
the demand. Those that come to this
market are brought up by the stew
ards and other employees of the steam
ers that ply between this country and
Porto Rico.
The pears are difficult to keep unless
they are plucked when green and
brought here to ripen. Then they have
not nearly SO much flavor as when they
are brought here just as they have
begun to ripen.
In this latter case there is little GER
tainty that they will last for more than
a few hours after they arrive here. It
is their extreme perishability that
prevents the fruit importing oompan-
'So AAOAi oOollHS III lu0m.
In Porto Rico the pears are so abund-
ant as to be practically worthless.
They are not appreciated by the ma
tlyes as they are here
Most New Workers still eat them
with French dressing after they have
been peeled and cut into slices. Some
persons, however, declare that the real
flavor of the alligator pear is to be
appreciated only when it is eaten with
little salt. They simply cut the pears
into two pieces, salt the inside and
eat them with spoon.
Other new ways of eating the pears
are to peel them and after mixing
them with such salads as lettuce. ro-
maine or escarole, pour over a French
dressing in which the vinegar plays
very small part.

He is never at a loss for expedients, is

how to escape dangers by stratagems
that are always new. He is a skillful

he fears them, and of the greatest sever

his vengeance is the heavier for having

tons and executions. The stories of
crimes excite him and prevent him

The sultan, like all neurotics, has mo-
ments of great irritability, during which
he becomes violent Several times he
has beaten his secretaries or his cham
berlains. Once he threw his ink stand
at the head of Kutchuk-Said Pasha

with mechanical gesture, now con-
ceals almost entirely the upper lip,
which is thin and hard. The lower lip
has become still thicker, and has ac-
centuated a somewhat sensual express
sion. The line of determination which
completes the character of his mouth,
80 interesting for the physiognomist, is
also deeper and more apparent.
The flattened temples, with the wide
ly separated orbits, have become more
hollow, and in the depths of the eyes,
now half hidden under the dropping
eyelids and heavy lashes, seems to be
smoldering the vacillating flame of his
glance.
The eyes are the most disconcerting
part Of his complex physiognom5 Re-
hecting usually uneasy melancholy, at
other times they will stare for long
time into vacancy as though absorbed in
thought, and then, If flash of anger or
fear lighen up the dark-gray iris-the
color of a stormy sky-they instantly
become remarkably keen and alert, and
cause those whose glance they meet a
painful impression that can be borne
only after long familiarity.
In short, the entire physiognomy of
the sultan confirms his divers charac-
teristics, even that of the gentleness
that he assumes at times. OF medium
height, slightly rickety on his legs, and
painfully thin, he seems now only to
have his breath left, and, in fact, it is his
nerves that keep him alive. Such con-
stitution must necessarily influence his
mentality. Abdul-Hamid is, in truth, a
victim of neurasthenia, and in some
things monomaniac. His physical
condition alone can explain the contra
dictions of his character
A Turk who has lived long time in
close intimacy with him has said of
him: 81 do not yet know whether he
Is intelligent or stupid, courageous or
cowardly, sane or mad" His psyche
logical condition presents q problem
but q problem that can be solved by
study.
The sultan is very intelligent, with
out doubt But tyranny and the con-
tinual fear in which he lives have led
him to devote all his energies to his
personal preservation, and to use only
the faculties which contribute to that
end, such as distrust, cunning, and the
instinct of defense, These faculties are
monstrously developed, to the suffoca-
ton of the others. and in his brain,
wearied by neurasthenia, have become
abiding passions. Thus in the progress
of time Abdul-Hamid has ended by be-
coming one OF that class known to doc
tors as the prosecuting prosecuted.
