Rev George 4. Dougherty, assistant pastor of

An Associated Press dispatch says: 1T is now
considered to be assured that Pope Plus X. who
already has created Mgr. Callegari, Bishop of
Padua, a cardinal is about to call him to Rome
definitely. The Pope is now centering all mis- at.
tenton upon the relations between the Vatican and
France, his present most ardent desire being to
find to put a stop to the anti Catholic
campaign carried on by the French government
and Of arranging definite understanding between
the French republic and the Holy See on questions
long pending. He hopes that the qualification of
Joan dare which will be the first ceremony of its
kind to be performed under his pontificae will aid
in the fulfllment of his wishes. From this concili-
atory disposition of the Pontif the inference is
drawn that the Vatican may be able to find solu-
bet when he visits the king of Italy, to pay his re-
spects also to Pope Plus. Should this occur it
would be the first instance since the fall of the

DUMMY" HAMS FOR SUMMER,
Butcher Shops Provided with Fine
limitations While the Real Meat
Goes Into the Cooler.

In the good old summer time hams
chest like all other meats. The conse-
Quence is that for many hours of the day
the show windows of butchers shop
looks as barren as a Yorkshire moor,
large western packing firms has orig
mated the idea of furnishing butchers
who patronize them with dummy hams,
to be hung in the windows while the real
thing is in cold storage This idea
has the double advantage of advertising
the particular brand of ham, and of Civ
ing the butcher the appearance Of con-
tinuous prosperity, even in the hottest
weather. The imitation hams are made
of wood. They are ed with can
vas, like the real hams, and fully stained,
as though the grease had soaked
through. Nine out of ten passers-by
would not know the difference.
In an Eighth avenue butcher shop
one day lately they were short of dunn
mics. and the boss decided to stuff three
of the hams with sawdust. A hungry
man came along, grabbed one of them,
and ran up the avenue. He was caught,
bat instead of prosecuting, the butcher
gave him dime to buy something to eat.
He explained that the laugh he had
watching the crowd chase the man up
the street until a policeman stopped
him, and his dismay when he discovered
that he had nothing but sawdust ham,
was well worth ten cents.

THE FIGHTING AFGHAN.
HarIii.e Instincts Have Always
Prompted Him to Look for
Further COnquests.

The Afghan is essentially fighting
though the army which Abdurrahman
created has, in the main, so far made
ior polce b. securing the internal tran
quillity Of Afghanistan, even the old
ameer discovered in the latter part Of
his reign not only that It was necessary
to keep it occupied but that 1t was not
Easy to find suitable occupation for 1t.
The discipline of a standing army in
"a h a country as Afghanistan is apt to
ret lax in the idle times of peace. I'm
Ter an oriental military despotism the
lrmy exists for active fighting and all
rs Instincts rebel against long periods
II inactiOn. II wants the excitement
and, above all, the opportunities of in
iiyidual aggrandizement and enrich
ment which active service alone fur
fishes. For a long time Abdurrahman

putting down all his own rivals and sub
.Gsc,iaS the tribes whose loyalty he
had cause TO suspect. When that was
ccomplished Kafrstan, with it's
pagan tribes, offered another outlet
icr nc martial energies of the Afghan
Mussulmans.
But in proportion as the successive
delimitatiOns Of boundaries and spheres
Of influence have diminished the area Of
doubtful ownership within which the
military appetite of the Afghan COM
mauders could be gratified without any
scrious risl, Of external complications,
the task of providing occupation for the
Afghan army has become more and
more difficult and with the maintenance
Of internal peace that difficulty must go
IN increasing.
The sOps which HabibulIah has from
line to time thrown to his army in the
shape of increased pay and improved ra-
tons show that he himself is alive to the
difficulty but measures of that kind can
hardly be regarded as more than tenn
pOrary makeshifts One is bound to
bear in mind in this connection that the
fighting instincts Of the Afghan have al
ways prompted him in the past to look
toward the south rather than the north.
The plains of India, which his fathers
repeatedly ransacked, are still to him
the legendary land Of conquest and
booty and if once he came to believe
that the English were powerless to ar
rest the forces of Russian gravitation,
he might well be tempted by prospect
of such stakes as Russia would spread
before him to exchange a losing for a
winning partner

NEGROES MIGRATE TO CITIES.
Increase of COlOred Population and
Distribution of Ii Through
out the States.

Booker T. Washington recently gave
two reasons for the general migration
of the colored population from the
country into the cities-the superior
educational facilities for colored chill
dren and the better police protection
afforded by the cities.
The increase in the negro population
of the United States between 1890 and
1900 was 100000, or at the rate Of
about Is per cent, the white popula-
ton in the same period increasing FL
per cent. But this gain in the colored
population is not evenly distributed,
the cities generally gaining at the ex-
pense of the country districts.
In Charleston, S. c., the colored pop
ulation increased in ten years from
S5, 900 to 10000; in Jefferson county,
KY, which includes Louisville, the
colored population increased from 3d.
600 to $4,000 in ten years; in Shelby
county, Tenn, which includes Mem
phis, from 1000 to $4,000; in Fulton
county, Ca, which includes Atlanta,
from $4,000 to $4,000; in Baltimore,
from 81, 900 to 10000; in Washington,
from 10000 to 100000; in Duval
county, Fla, which includes Jackson
Vile, from $4,000 to $4,000; in War
rem county, Miss, which includes
Vicksburg, from $4,000 to $4,000; in
st. Louis, from $4,000 to $4,000, and
in Galveston, from 1000 to $500.
Indications Of the migration Of col
ored residents to the large cities may
be found in the north as well as in
the south. In the state of Pennsyl-
vania the increase in the cOlored pop
ulation in ten years was $4,000. OF
this, $4,000 was in Philadelphia and
Pittsburg alone.
In New York the increase in the col
ored population in ten years was 30
900, but of this total 5000 was in New
York county, 1000 in Brooklyn, and
1000 in Richmond and Queens, and
1000 in the whole rest Of the state.
Another reason for the increase in
the colored population of the city, not
given by Mr.. Washington, is the bet
ter wages paid the colored people in
the cities and their larger opportuni-
ties for material advantage.

FEARFUL GIRL GRADUATES.
Display of Emotions Frequently In
terrupts Festivlty of Class
SupperS.

The senior class suppers at COM
mencement time at the women's col
teges are apt to be much more emo
tional affairs than the same functions
celebTmted by their brothers. Women
are naturally more demonstrative than
men, and the girl graduates really en-
Joy the opportunity to dissipate in their
emotions which this final meeting after
four years of association affords, says a
college paper.
The festivity, If so fearful an occasion
deserves the name, is, of course, private
and restricted to members of the class
The toasts are largely personal and
commemorative of events In the class
life. and are arranged to bring each
member to her feet in the course OF the
evening.
At Vdssar matrimonial engagements
are announced in a roll call that Is a
most interesting part Of the proceed
ings. Each girl must answer to her
name with the words Guilty" or mot
guilty." according as she has said
eyes" or not.
Sometimes a suspected member hes
itates to speak the committing words
and silence follows the first reading Of
her name. The etiquette of the occa-
sion demands that the name shall be
repe ated three times, and the shyest
girl is apt to cry out her guilt rather
than face more than one perod Of this
speaking silence.
When the supper Is over, the speeches
made and the engagements announced,
the class starts on its last sad duty Of
saying goodbye to places and things
about the campus. This is a most pa
theNe pilgrimage, and those who have
heard the quavering voices of the girls
as they try and fail to sing the class
songs have found their own eyes filling
in sympathy. This round ends the az
ony as a class and the members dissolve
into small groups, slowly crossing the
campus and picking their way through
trunk-filled corridors to dismantled
rooms.

HER OLD RAG DOLL.
Her name was Polly Susan Julie Ann
Maria Jane

Her name was Polly Susan Julie AM
Maria Jane.
And she had a wig OF corn silk,
And wore her dress entrain.
Her cheeks they were not waxen.
Neither had she slippered feet;
In fact she had no limbs at all.
Yet she was just complete
To the little girl who owned her,
Who for short would call her Poll
And she loved the queer absurdity,
Her ca Rag Doll.
Its neck It was corn cob,
Broken eff to be just so,
And its head was made of muslin
Stuffed with bits of rag, you know,
Sos to bring It out in contour;
Bnt rough use had spoiled its shape,
And given 1t the visage Of an Anticipated
ape,
And a good deal of rough handling
Had caused It's head to loll,
Yet abe loved the dear monstrosity.
Her Old Rag Doll.
Since then mes had some fine ones,
Brought directly from Paree.
With costumes Of the finest cloth,
AS lovely as could be:
And she called them heightened cogno-
mems,
Because she thought the name
Polly Susan Julie Ann and so-forth alto
gether tame,
Still she's never had the comfort
That she used to take with Poll,
When she never had another, save

LIFE IN A FACTORY TOWN.

Man who Passed n Week In

"You people who live in the city
think you are strenuous; you think
Four business is exacting; you actually
believe that when you die it will be
from nervous prostratiOn."
The speaker addressed some friends
who, like himself, were homeward
bound, says the New York Sun. He
continued:
But you go to your homes, or to
your clubs, or to your links, or some
where by the sea, and you rest up for
the whirl of the next day.
did you ever go to manufacturing
town, where everybody in the place is
factory man, woman, boy or girl? There
is where you find the tired people.
"The homes, or rather the houses In
which the people live, stand unoccupied
from morning until night. Every day
the occupants walk oHt in droves and
professions to the factory.
For some reason which cannot ex-
plain most of the men quit work in the
afternoon before the women stop.

Electric Arc and Microscope.

Before the Royal Microscopical So
ciey in London Mr.. E. B. Stringer has
described a new method Of photograph
ing objects magnified by the micro
scope. The light of the electric arc it.
self is employed, that Of the mean
descent carbons being shielded, the light
itself is filtered, and thus powerful
violet mOnochromatic light, at the ex-
IRENE limit of visibility, is obtained.
With this light excellent photographs Of
minute objects, under a magnifcation
of 2,2OO diameters, were made and ex-
hibited upon a screen. Mr.. Stringer
suggests that lenses specially corrected
for the ultraviolet rays would enable
photography to do for the microscope
rhat it has already done for the tele-
scope.-Science.

A SONG OF DUTY.


Sorrow comes and sorroY goes,
Life is hecked with shine and shower
Now the tear of grieving flows,
Now we smile In happy hour;
Death awaits us, every one
Toiler, dreamer, teacher, writer
Let us then, ere life be done,
Make the world a little brighten
Burdens that our neighbors bear
Easier let us try to make them;
Chains, perhaps, our neighbors wear,
Let US do our best to break them.
From the straitened brain and mind
Let us loose the binding fetter'
Let us, as the Lord designed.
Make the world a little BETTER
Selfish brooding sears the SOUL.
Makes the heart nest of sorrows,
Darkening the shining goal
or the sun-illumined morrows;
Wherefore should our lives be spent
Daily growing blind and blinde|
Let us, as the Master meant,
Make the world little kinder!
Denis A. Mccarthy, in Good Counsei
Magazine.
