MONEY OF THE POPE STOLEN.
Big Sum Said to Have Disappeared
from a Chest

from a Chest.
ROME-The scandal over the re
ported mysterious disappearance from
the pope's chambers of the fisher
mans ring was quickly hushed up. It
was revived Thursday night, however
over a report that a sum of 2O,COO,OOC
lires (s4,OOO,OOO) has disappeared
The amount was understood to be il
a treasure chest and largely composed
Of 1000 lire gold pieces. 1t was last
known to be in the secret repository
in Pope Leo's private chambers. To
this place necessarily few persons had
entry and they were for the most
part personages of the highest rank
at the vatican.

LATE BEE PASTURE.
Why It Pays to<sow . Little Alsilke
and White Clover ON Land
aA ~ Needing Rest.

In some localities, late in the season.
the honey-producing plants fail or their
season passes and the bees find them
selves without anything to. work on.
The ordinary farmer considers it too
small business to take into considera-
ton the needs Of the busy little workers
when sowing his crops. but when we call
to mind the fact that all bees bring us
is just that much clear gain, with little
or no labor, we can afford to expend
some time and labor in providing for
their wants. Especially is this true
when the crop sown is one that will
bring profit or prove . benefit outside
Of its value as a bee food. Alsike and
white clover sown in waste places and
on land needing rest and reJuvenation
will furnish much stock food. as well
as the best bee pasture. There are
many fields and patches about the farm
where the early crops will be taken OF
IN August, which can be planted in
sbuckwheat and good crop Of salable
grain realized, while the bees can find
the material in it for their winter stores

On or about the fourth day a respira-
tory membrane is formed, and the egg
gradually increases In opacity until
after the seventh day it. is not prac-
ticable to form any judgment of the
progress of the chick by means Of light.
By the tenth day the bones Of the
skeleton have begun to assume con-

cided shape, the heart Is formed, and
all vital parts are complete. On certain
parts feathers are growing. and all de-

On the twelfth day heat is given out.
and that ID easily demonstrated to those
who use incubators. as less heat is re-.

WORKS AMONG RED HEN.
Fear ana Alone In the In.
tePests 81 Education.

One Of the bravest and best workers
for the civilizipg Of the Indians ON the
reservations Is white woman. Her
name is Estelle Reel. she halls from
Wyoming and she holds the important
position Of superintendent Of Indian
schools for the United States, says the
Washington Star. Miss Reel is young
woman Of attractive personality and
great courage. She travels alone among
the Indians in the remotest and widest
parts Of the country. The liercest- look
ing brave has no power to brighten her,
and her dauntless pluck has naturally
won the Indians respect and esteem as
nothing else would have done.
The young superintendent is perform.
Ing her work In a manner which reflects
credit on womanhood. As q result q
marked improvement is noticeable in
the education Of the Indian all over the
country. Each year Miss Reel travels
from coast to coast to study the various
needs Of the reservation schools and
compare their results with other schools
in more settled districts. During her
first year Of Office she Travelled seven
months, becoming acquainted with tho
various tribes and the methods used in
ctvilizing them. Much of the distance
was covered by stage and wagon. It is
largely due to heT personal observation
that the schools show greater efficiency
that at any other time during their his
tory.
Congress has faculty Of appropriate
ing money for Indian schools without
a definite idea Of where they are to be
located. The representative In Wash
ington knows little or nothing Of the
wilds Of Arizona. Another reason for
the inaccessibility Of the schools Is that
they are frequently established near
reservations for which the Indian pur-
posely chose remote locations. Miss
Reel often travels through parts of the
country where there is not even wagon
road.
Her most perilous journey is up the
Colorado river. She is obliged to board
q barge and take a two days journey
on the river, accompanied only by two
Indians. Teachers who have come q
long distance from the east protest that
they cannot 60 when they get this far,
but Miss Reel Is confident the Indians
are her friends, and never feels the
slightest fear Of them.
Isolation from railroads makes Miss
Reels visit an event In any Indian
school, especially as she carries with her
q whole pharmacopoeia Of medicine.
This is intended for the teachers and
scholars, to whom she is. doctor and
nurse.

TWO KINDS OF WEEDS.
one 10 Human, the other vegetable,
ana the WoEld Has No Use. for
Either Of Them.

n John Burroughs somewhere calls
weeds "the tramps Of the vegetable
kingdom." The analogy is very 1T
hing; for. like the human tramp, these
vegetable Migrants range from the
picturesquely good-for-nothing to the
positively vicious. Sympathy or even
tolerance for either is misplaced and
worse than useless. The tramp is In
deed one Of the worlds unfortunates
and a certain sort Of pity is due him
for his fallen estate. but he cannot be
brought back to self-respect and hon
est toll by aims nor mawkish philan-
throry. His disease can only be cured
by work. To feed him without an at
tack on the woodpile as a condition
precedent, is to put. a premium upon
his idleness. It is fine and beauti-
full thing to see the sweet, young
matron giving piece of bread and
meat to the unkempt bleary animal
who asks for bite to assuage the
pangs Of hunger. and many a tender
hearted man says in q self-gratulatory
way, as one who offers ticket for q
front seat in Paradise: II never turn
q hungry. man away from my door. -
This is an especially blessed thing for
the glver, but 1t is not the best gift
for the recipient. Aims debases the
receiver and confirms him In his weed
mess. There is no place in this good
and bad world for weeds, whether two
legged or, one-legged. The struggle
for existence writes their doom thus.

BuLLFINcH AND CANARY.
The Latter Bird Can He Trained to

S0nEsteR.

That bullfinch can be trained to
pipe whole tune, or more, to perfec-
tion-that is to say, do it, so far as
intonation and rhythm are concerned,
as we'll as any skilled musician
everybody knows. It is also a fact,
though perhaps less common, that a
canary. placed in an adjoining room
and hearing the tune of such piping
bullfinch over and over again, may,
quite by himself, i. e., without being
trained for It, acquire, the same ac-
complement to the minutest detail.
My sister possesses an old bullflnch
which pipes, among other tunes, God

was the only bird in the house. until,
about q year ago, my sister received
the present Of canary bird. lovely
but unframed scngster. singing. az
they say In Germany. "as his beak was
grown"
The cages containing the two birds
stood in two adjoining rooms. At first
one of the birds would be silent when
the other was singing. Gradually,
however, the young canary bird began
to initiate the tune of the bullfinch,
trying more and more Of 1t at q
time, until after nearly a years study
he had completely mastered 1t and
could pipe 1t quite independently by
himself. AS said before, this, in q
canary bird, though rare accom-
plishment. is nothing extraordinary
or unheard of.
When the bullfnch, as sometimes
happened, would. after the first half
of the tune, stop little longer than
the rhythm Of the melody warranted,
the canary would take up the tune
where the bullfnch had stopped and
properly finish It.
