It's long climb to the pope's apart

XIII. that will carry two or three peo-

court. That will save you ZIG steps II

to secure the favor, says the Chicago
Record Herald.
But ordinary people have to drag
their heavy feet up 3O8 marble steps.
This, however, is not SO great an ordeal
for the Italians as 1t is for us, because
almost everybody in the ancient part
of Rome lives on the top floors of lofty
palaces which have nc elevators.

buildings must be occupied by some
body, but / have never been fortunate

reach the grand court of Pope Damaso,
where the climb actually begins, and be-
yond that six flights of noble staircases
of marble, of SO steps each, remain to
be overcome and it is an ordeal for fat
men who are broken to elevators.

The civil police of Rome patrol the
portico of the vatican. but never pass
the threshold. There is always a ser

them across the boundary between civil

In the anteroom of the pope's apart

a startling livery of red, which reminds
you OF the toilet worn by Mephistophe-
les in the opera. Four members of the

are gentlemen-in-waiting to his holt

master of ceremonies, is not far away.

BRANDY TURNS TO WATER.
Strange Adventure of . Present Of
COgnac Sent to the Rus
sian Army.

The Paris Temps gives an amusing ac-
count Of the strange adventures of a
barrel Of the finest cognac sent as a
present to Russian regiment by Presi-
dent Felix Faure, in connection with
which the real facts have only just be-
come known. The barrel duly arrived
at the depot at Odessa and then van
ished, only to be discovered empty after
many weeks Of fruitless search. A sig
mailman ingeniously suggested that the
Russian climate was too strong for
French brandy and that the contents
had undoubtedly evaporated during the
many weeks the barrel had been miss
ing. The authorities gladly accepted
this view and actually gave 1t as the Of
fetal explanation in a letter to the
French ambassador.
President Felix Faure thereupon sent
second barrel. over which the
chief station master at Odessa promptly
placed q couple of sentries with fixed
bayonets until he received further in
structions. In due course q special in
spector was sent from headquarters to
e~SOAnR1ny INC OoAAC Ou I'D JOuIuSy
across Russia and at the same time q
message was telegraphed in advance to
all the station masters on the lire, stat
ing the train by which the barrel was
travelling, and adding:a Every station
master must satisfy himself, first, that
the barrel is intact; second, that the in
spector and sentries in charge of it are
not intoxicated. and. third. local po-
lice oficer is to accompany the barrel In
its transit over each section OF the line
and keep q sharp watch on the men in
charge Of 1t; and. lastly, every station
master and inspector will telegraph his
report to headquarters"
OF course, with such precautions, the
barrel could not 90 astray. 1t reached
the regiment and vas welcomed with
the enthusiasm betting the arrival OF q
French presidential gift. The reaiment-
al Officers, from the highest to the low
est, prepared to drink the presidents
health in the priceless liquor. The
glasses were filed and the toast pro-
posed and then the awful discovery was
made that, Notwithstanding station
masters, inspectors, sentries and police
onicials, the brandy had been so Affected
by the i-ncorrigible Russian climaAe that
it was nothing better than colordd wa
ter.

The disposition on the part of the masses in re-

In latter day political parlance, the term "busi-

tolls. The important fact is overlooked absolute
