POPE A GREAT FAVORITE.
Has Been a Pulpit Orator of Renown from Very Outset of His
 Priestly Career.

One recalls, writes William J. D. Croke, in Century, those nov. ing speeches which, as car. diDal, he delivered weeping in the conclave, setting forth all his i'm perfections (his sins, even), and the disadvantages of his career from barefooted boyhood up, but which really secured him the throne, and the stories of him which every one knows in Lom. bardy and Venetia. For no eccle siastic can have been more widely known than he. A pulpit orator of renown from the very outset of his priestly career, the sought after panegyrist of great occa. sions when bishop and patriarch, no wonder that he was hailed by voice ill Rome when he took pos, session of his title as cardinal "No one has spoken so we'll as this cardinalw As country assistant, then parish priest, then professor in the seminary of Treviso, canon, chancellor of the diocese, great hierarch of Mantua, the successor of St. Mark, everyone seems to know him, and no one has any memory that is not pleasant.

WRadium Sirup."

A practical joke, now common among Patisians, is to go into a drug store Ind ask for three cents worth of rAdium. At first the chemists toSk it gOod'naturedly, but latterly At has become quite a nuisance. One chemist in the Rue de Rivoli has just hit upon a way of getting even with the would-be jokers. He has made a connection which he calls "radium sirup," and when the practical joker arrives grayely haads out . small quantity, tlargins an sxtra two cents for the bottle.

When the petals of the great laurel magnolia are touched, however lightly, the result is a brown spot, which develops in a few hours. The fact Is taken ad vantage of by the South Ameri can lover, who pulls a magnolia flower, and on one of it's pure white petals writes a motto or message with disappointed pen. cil. Then he sends the flower, the young lady puts it in vase of wa. ter, and in three or four hours the message written on the leaf be comes perfectly visible, and re mains so.

WHO GETS MOCHA COFFEE |?
Most of It Taken by Sheiks and Gov. ernors of Arabia-Little Is
 Ever Exported.

"I don't believe there is a pound of genuine Mocha coffee on this continent" MT. c. T. Hilli. glas, coffee merchant, informs me, says a writer in the St. Louis Globe Democrat, Cor that 200 peo- pie in this country have ever tast- ed it, unless they have at some time visited Arabia and drunk it at the table of some sheik or gov ernor.
 'The true Mocha is the finest coffee grown; it has a delicious fla vor that makes it as superior to the very best of other brands as silk is superior to cotton, but the crop is extremely limited, and hardly ever more than satisfies purely local demands. Some Arabian coffee may find it's way to this country; it may even be called Mocha, but it is not the real arti- cle, I am sure, and none of us has ever had it here, though we get the best of other brands that are grown in Ceylon and Java, and that means some mighty fine cof- fee. It is not Mocha, however, for the whole of the true Mocha crop each year wouldn't supply the cof. fee demands of one ward in St. Louis alone for a period of six months. The best and plumpest berries of the Mocha growth, those with the most exquisite flavor, are eagerly taken by the governors and sheiks in the vicinity, and they have to get their orders in in advance, so that they may be sure of their annual sup ply. The second-grade berries go to the wealthier citizens, not of the governing class, and the third, or poorest, grade of berries, which are not much superior to the best Java coffee, are sold to the people, and the demand invariably ex. ceeds the supply.
 "Sometimes few pounds of this cheapest grade of Mocha finds its way to Constantinople, but it is very, very seldom, and I don't believe an ounce of it has ever got any further west than that. Ipre- sume that if, by some hook or crook, a pound of the real plump berried Mocha were landed in this country it would sell for a price that even a Rockefeller might hes. itate to pay. We get the best cof. fee grown, apart from the Mocha, but the local conditions which pre- vail where that coffee is raised prevent us from obtaining any, and I hardly think the real thing will ever be found in our markets"

HERO AND THE TOOTHAcHE
Remarks Thereon by . Disillusioned Girl-He Had Faced Death
 at Santiago.

q used to be given to hero worship" said the girl with the Russian sable huff to her companion of the long, dark eyelashes, according to the New York Sun. "But, dear, we change. do we not? Do you recall how I spent the last of my pin money to attend a reception that the club arranged for. a certain hero?
 "Well, the week before last 1 was coming up from Palm Beach. On the train was a hero who had withstood a dozen hostile fires at Santiago. He had toothache, a simple little toothache, and he bel lowed like a calf. thought of the five teeth that I had pulled out in one afternoon without gas and asked myself if the man was real ly brave. I decided that a hero must have a toothache such as the ordinary mortal never dreamed of.
 "One of the train hands who sympathized with the hero said !: The best thing for toothache is whisky. If I had one I'd fill up'!- and he did. I mean my hero, that was, did. Don't talk to me in fu- ture of hero worship. Facing death may be one thing, but I'd rather face death than be afraid of a toothache. Have bon bon?'

AN ODD OLD CHARACTER.
Kate, the Bumboat Woman, Who Has Haunted Washineton's Navy
 yard for Forty Years.

Kate, the bumboat woman, is the title applied to an odd crea. ture who has been haunting the Washington navy yard for the past co years, says the Washing ton Post. Her name is Kate Royal, and as far back and fur ther than the oldest man connected with the yard can remember, Kate has been making her daily trips with her basket of candy, fruit and notions to sell to the sailors who visit Washington on Uncle sam's boats. Kate has speaking acquaintance with all the great men of the army and navy. She has letters and presents from most of them, including Amirals Dewey, Sampson and Schley.
 Kate made her first visit to the yard during the civil war. She was young woman in those days, and her bright Irish ways made her great favorite. In later years, when age began to creep upon her, she began to form an opinion that she was an active and indispensable part of the navy. She considered herself an enlisted person and became as de. voted to the cause as the most loyal man. It is just 40 years since Kate began to consider herself { sailor.
 She has had ten red enlistment stripes, representing four years each, placed upon a field of blue cloth, and this she wore to cele- >brate the anniversary.
 Kate is a picturesque charac- ter. Her form is bowed beneath the weight of 70 years, and her face is scanned with the marks of time. Only her eyes still retain the brilliancy of youth, and they sparkle with the same Irish hu- nor and good nature that gleamed from them 40 years ago.
 Kate has no regular hours of business. She is on hand with the rising sun, and the late hours of the evening find her still on duty. She gathers her little stock of trade around her under the fore. castle of one of the United States boats lying up at the yard, and with the sailor boys lying around her on the floor she will tell them tales of her youth or crone Irish melodies for them until the signal for lights out is passed around. and the sailors seek their swing ing hammocks, and Kate shoul. ders her basket of goods and wan ders home.
