sOnality and the SO-Ca11ed
National Types.

Tt IS a wonder which has become 9
commonplace that each of the millions,
ofemea and women in the world has ar
appearance SO different from all thu
others, as, to be easily recognizable
among the throng. The rare eXcep
tion to the rule, as in the case of those
twin brothers one of whom died re
Gently in Boston, is regarded as little
short of miraculous, although in real
ijty the miracle is in the usual unlike,
ness, instead of in the occasional like
ness, says Youths Companion.
To be sure, all Chinese look alike to
Americans, but it is equally true tina,

The fact doubtless is that the distin
gushing variations are not the SAINT
for the two races. We look at two
'Asiatic faces, and seeing them alikt
where Caucasian faces are different, dc
not notice the unlikeness in other and
unexpected details.
The prevalent idea that various ma.
tions have type of face is open to dis
cussion. We speak of typical Irish
or Italian face, as if it would be recog
nzable under any circumstances. But
do not dress, the fashion of wearing
hair and beard, the attitudes due tt
occupation and the complexion due tt
climate play a very large part in the
composite picture which we call g
'type"
Certain it is that although there
may be characteristic American voice
or figure, there is no distinctive Amer.
lean face. This may be accounted fol
by our miscellaneous forbears, but it i.
quite likely to be explained by oul
widely varied lives and occupations
even among those belonging to the
same social plane.
The recognizable handwriting OF
each man and woman is another curl
Gus and wonderful fact. The forgel
becomes clever, not by accident, but
by long and severe training; and even
he is soon discovered. That subtle ex
preston of personality which is the
work of the brain debating to the
sensitive hand is as varied as the micro
scope shows hand and brain to be.
In short, the amazing variations in
personality go far to make credible
the Christian faith that by an intelli
gence capacious enough to contain
them all, the human units may be dis
tinguished as easily as we, with oul
limited powers, may distinguish oul
friends.

The Foundation of Health.

Nourishment is the foundation of health
-life-strength. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure
is the one great medicine that enables the
stomach and digestive organs to digest,
assimilate and transform all foods into
the kind of blood that nourishes the
nerves and feeds the tissues. Kodol lays
the foundation for health. Nature does
the rest. Indigestion, Dyspepsia, and all
disorders of the stomach and digestive
organs are cured by the use of Kodol.

WOMAN IN FICTION.
The Writer Who Wishes to Put IA Good
One in His Book Has Diff
ficult Task.

The good woman fares badly at the
hands of the poyelists. She is made
dull and priggish, and she lacks alto
gether that charm which is her fitting
characteristic. Becky Sharp is bet
ter company than Amelia; Agnes
Wickfeld and Dorothsa and Mirah
Cohen and Marcella are too pedagogic
in their attitude toward human ma
ture to be chosen, if one were seeking
a companion for year on desert
island. A little more gayety, spon-
taneity, impulsiveness, would make
such women better comrades and not
less effective for good works, says
Youths Companion.
The truth is that the writer who
wishes to put a good woman in his
book has task of extreme difficulty.
The fundamental quality of this wom-
an is her symmetry of character. She
has no eccentricities; yet eccentrici-
ties are the stock in trade of the novel
list. They lend themselves to descrip-
tion and embodiment. They stand out
from the page. They give substan-
Ildllty 10 the cudfdcIer OF icIlOu. Inc
reader may hate the peculiarities, but
he acknowledges that the character
who has them seems real woman.
Beside her, the women of well proper
toned virtues seem fiat and vague.
There is, however, one glorious ex-
ception to this rule. 1t is found, as we
might expect, in the wonderful gal
lery of Shakespeare's creations. He
at least knew how to make his good
women Acknowledgements, Beatrice,
Rosalind, Imogen, Miranda, Viola
each more enchanting than the other,
and each having her individual grace.
1t is perhaps subtle compliment to
women that SO few of the great imag-
NATIVE writer's have succeeded in de-
picting the ideal woman. One may
seek for her in vain among the crea-
lions of many great novelists; but
when it comes to looking for her in real
life, it is not hard to discover the
woman who is good, gracious and COM
passionate, and at the same time anus
ing, intellectual and achieving.

Election of a Pope.

The election of Pope is held
behind locked doors in the Vatican
Cardinals only have a vote. There are
now sixty-nine of these princes of the
Church, divided according to rank into
Cardinal Bishops, Cardinal Priests and
Cardinal Deacons. When the college is
full the number is seventy. Cardinal
Gibbons, the only American, is Cardi-
nal Priest.
Each Cardinal occupies separate cell,
whence all are summoned on the opening
day Of the Conclave to an assembly room.
Thereafter, till the result of the election
is announced, they are allowed to com.
muncate with no one but Vatican off.
cials. The next morning the Conclave
formally assemblies and all repair to the
Sistine Chapel, where each Cardinal has
been provided with desk. Before pro-
ceeding to business the chapel is searched
to make sure that no one is there but
those entitled to be present. Three in
spectors of election are then chosen by
ballot.
At small table in the corner of the
chapel each Cardinal writes the name o.
his candidate on a card which bears III

they see the smoke ascending from the
burning ballots they know there ha:
been no election.
AT the evening session Cardinals repre-
senting foreign Powers are given al
opportunityto announce any serious OBJ
lection that may exist regarding any
candidates.
Two sessions are held daily, and the
voting continued at each until the conclave
reaches a result, which is announced by
the ringing Of bell. If the newly elect
ed Pope accepts the Office he is i'm
meiiately saluted by all the Cardinals a.
the successor of St. Peter and earthly
head of the Universal Church, and he
retires, to reappear in Ponti6cal vest
nents. The Fisherman's Ring is placed
on his finger by the Cardinal Gamer
iengo, and the new Vicar Of Christ be
slows his first blessing upon the kueeline
Cardinals. He then takes his seat in the
Sedia Gestatoria, receives the Cardinals
homage and announces the name he will
assume as Supreme Pontiff.
The news of the election is announced
to those waiting outside, and quickly
spreads through Rome and crowds O
distinguished persons flock to the Vatican
to greet the new Pope and receive the
Papal blessing.
The coronation OF the new Pope takes
place some days later. Leo XIII wa.

Oatarrh of the Stomach.

When the stomach is overloaded: when
food is taken into it that fails to digest,
it decays and inflames the mucous men,
braue exposing the nerves, and causes
the glands to secret mucin, instead of the
natural juices of digestion. This is call
ed Catarrh of the Stomach. For years
