Mgr. O'Connell, rector OF the univer-

The feeling prevails that whoever may
succeed to the papacy will carry out
the policy of the late Pope. which
proved so successful with reference to
the university and the American HER

Last to Be Notified.
Through an odd coincidence the papal
delegate was the last to be informed of
Pope Leo's death The message from
Cardinal Rampolla to Mgr. Falconio
was received at the legation about 5
o'clock, or little over six hours after
it had been sent by Cardinal Secretary
OF State Rampolla at the Vatican.
Usually messages sent from the Vati-
can to the papal legation in this city
occupy about six hours in transmits
sion. and reach Washington about the
same hour. Washington time, as the
hour. Roman time. that they were sent.
The cablegram received yesterday was
no longer coming that others received
later. but it was thought on account Of
its character 1t would be rushed and
given a certain right of way over the
cables.
Before the message was opened at the
PapaI legation the character of its con-
tents was anticipated. for the papal del
egate. Monsignor Diomede Falconio, and
his little household had already received
the sad news through representatives of
the various newspapers, who have been
on guard at the legation day and night
for a week. AS soon as the messenger
was seen entering the legation yard the
newspaper men stepped up to the front
door to ask what news came from Rome.
The message was opened by Monsignor
Marchetti, the auditor and acting sec
rotary OF the legation. who first convey
ed its contents to Monsignor Falconio
and Bishop F. T. Rocker, Of Jaro, Phil
ippine Islands. ex-secretary of the le-
CATION. who has been a guest there for
q week
The message was then read TO the
newspaper men. The fateful words
bringing the first official notice of the
death of the supreme head of the church
to the 100000 Catholics in the United
States read:
mgr. Falconio, Apostolic Delegate.
Washington. D. c.:
with deepest sorrow announce to
you the death of the Holy Father, which
occurred this afternoon at O'Clock.
His holiness died surrounded by the Sa-
cred College.

A Story With q Bad Moral.

In prosperous town in Mexico lives
a merchant whose wealth grew out Of
a combination Of good luck and drunk
enness. An uncomfortable desire for
drink cost him position after position,
and he drifted down to Mexico and be
came a news agent. He sold lottery
tickets. He had to report on drawing
day what unsold tickets he had and
forward them. He got drunk the day
before one of the big drawings. Two
days later he sobered up and found
himself in possession Of several hun
dred dollars worth of unsOld tickets.
He did not possess $40 in the world.
He examined the list and found that
q number of the unsold tickets had
drawn prizes aggregating $4,000 in
gold. He collected the winnings, paid
for the unsold tickets and took an oath
of perpetual total abstinence. That
was years ago. He has never touched
liquor since and is today a wealthy
man. The moral is bad, but the story
is too good to suppress.-New Orleans

Path Breaker For Lightning.

In the "Annalen der Physik' there is
a paper by Herr Walter on the genesis
of lightning in which he shows that
lightning flashes are preceded by minor
flashes, which. as it We're, feel the way
and mark the course for the major,
flash or flashes Something of the kind
is also observed in electric sparks. The
path, once marked, is utilized for fur
Their discharges; hence photographs of
lightning taken with moving camera
may show more than one flash. One,
picture shows three main flashes at in
tervals Of OFT and .04S9 parts of a
second between. OF course to the eye,
they seemed one flash. Another pic
ture showed five flashes lasting alto,
gether quarter of a second. Although
signs of an alternating discharge were
seen on one picture, it may be taken
for granted that as a rule lightning is
series of continuous discharges from
cloud to earth.

Here is a good story from the collec-

pupils were being examined on the
subject of personal hygiene. A boy
was asked, what have you to do in
order to keep your teeth sound and

reply. when ought you to clean
them?" Morning, noon and night"
what are they to be cleaned WITH"
"With q toothbrush 'Very good.

A GOOD ONE.

view. The results of this practice are
too painfully evident in every stock
center to make comment necessary. The
financial losses already suffered as a
result of this policy are appalling, but
undoubtedly the worst thing attempted
along this line is the effort to produce
dual purpose cow by crossing high
class beef or dairy sire on native cows.
Nothing but loss and disappointment
can follow such methods. The dual pur-
pose cow is both useful and valuable in
her place. If she is desired, however,
she must come from some Of the we'll
established breeds of that type and not
from the absurd and purposeless cross

Wet Shoes.

The usual-and the wrong way-of
treating wet boots is to take them off
and put them on the fender or the radi-
ator to dry. This method spoils the
boots. Too much heat cracks and hard
ems leather.
Another wrong way is to stand them
on their soles anywhere to dry.
The proper way is to place the boots,
soles upward, near enough to the fire
to dry slowly and properly, but not to
steam during the drying.
The soles should always be turned
upward, even when the boots are only
a little wet, for this way enables the
air to reach the wettest part of the
leather firSt.-American Queen.
