officials of the congregation of riAes, assembled in the Sistine chapel, where the pope, enthroned in state, in re- sponse to the formal petition of the secretary of the congregation, declared that the heroic virtues Of the venerable heroine had been proved to his satis- faction and therefore her name was worthy to be entered among the blessed recognized as such by the Roman Cath 0lic church.
 This Justification of Joan of Are Is the second step towards her canoniza- tion and enrolment among the saints. The procedure as prescribed by the church requires that it be shown that two miracles have been wrought by the candidate before Identification, and two more after 1t by his or her inter- cession. The pope then, on applica- ton, takes tip the case with view of testing the qualification for higher honors. Several meetings of the pope and cardinals mark the successive stages, and at the third consistory, one who is designated as the devils advo- cate attacks the person to be canon fzed and seeks to prevent elevation to sainthood. while another person desig- mated as Gods advocate supports the claims. At the fourth consistory the votes of the prelates are taken for or against canonization. If majority are favorable thereto, the pope appoints a day for the ceremony. which takes place tt St. Peter's
 The official inquiry into the life and deeds of the peasant maid who is still the idol of chivalrous France, had it's off, cial beginning 20 years ago, when the late Marshal MacMahon was president of the French republic. 1t reached an important stage in the summer of 1902, when the investigation culminated in a series of meetings at Ronie between Pope Leo XIII. and his prelates.

porting the claims of Joan of Arc when the devils advocate offered five req sons why she should not be declared as among the blessed. @
 Whether the same objections will be raised again when effort is made to canonize the French heroine remains to be seen. Certain it is that French Catholics have determined that their national heroine shall be enrolled among the saints if such is possible, and it is said that Pope Plus x. is in sympathy with the movement. Thus we have the extremes of ecclesiastical power manifested. The same church which burned her as a heretic in 1431, seeks nearly 500 years afterward to de- clare her a saint. But 1t must be re- membered that in 1455 by order of Pope Calistus the trial of Joan was re- considered at Rouen, where she had been condemned and executed, and the condemnation was solemnly annulled and declared wr'a'-~s ~--' ~~''et,

ART ON SIDES OF BEEF.
Skah o1ths Packing House Artfst vvItk the Knife Dtsplayed on Ckrfst-
 mas Carca sSe1. ~

Few persons whose attention is at- eracted by the array of Christmas meats in the markets of New York are aware that the Enthusiastically carved dgures and flowers that decorate the halves and quarters of beef hung up tor display are, as $ rule. the work of artistic cutters in the packing houses and seldom that of the men In the retail shops, says the New York Sun. ...s'
 It was formerly the usage that each market man made his own carvings after he received his consignment of beef. but experience has shown that 1t is done better and more easily in the packing Houses. New York gets most of it's Christmas beef from >Chi- cago, and it fs there that most of it Is decorated or cut SO that 1t will appear to the best advantage and catch the eye. ..
 Scoring is the technical term used by the cutters in the work of decorat- Ing. They use knives as sharp as razors. cutting the design in the plates or thin muscular sheet that covers the lower part of the fore ribs, while the animal is still warm.
 When the meat eoUfs, the little gashes made by the knife spread open and show ths lfarblfng of the beef. Where it is possiBfe the cuts are trimmed 50 that the proportions Of lean and fat will De about right. An expert can cut and score the meat so that 1t will display very. nicely. but 1t takes good prime bullock to work up in good shape This is seldom done except with beef for the Christmas and New Years trade
 What is commonly called Christmas beef comes from rather light, smooth young cattle of good shape and even fat, the kind weighing from 1900 to 1,500 pounds. These cattle come from all over the corn belt. where all of the best beef cattle are raised. Where ever corn is a sure crop there are found the finest beef cattle
 Buyers insist that Christmas beef is really no better than the prime article sold at other seasons of the year. Imagination often improves beef more than the fact that when alive it pos- Bessed the essential characteristics of q fancy bullock. The consumers who pay the price can get just as good beer at one time as at another.
 New York is especially particular, say the wholesale buyers. about the quality of the beef for its fancy trade. The higR-ciass hotels and restaurants in this city demand the best beef ob- tainabIe, and are indifferent to the cost, for the reason that their custom CTS do not care what price is asked for steak if 1t is what they want.

An English journal publishes what purports to be an interview with one of King Edwards tailors. This tailor says that the king ''gets through with quite hundred pairs" of trousers anu a dozen suits of evening clothes in a year His tailors' bills, uniforms apart, must "nnake big hole in $1, ,000 a year." Plenty of our American SOW ereigns spend much more than that in adorning themselves. But the king pays smaller prices than they.

The blowing" of a fuse in At, eIec- trfc street car, Which fills the average passenger with alarm. simply indicates Chat $ safety device has proved relia- ble and that danger of injury to the motor has been averted by 1t, says the New York Herald. The current which will flow through q motor when it is standing still is in alp1ost all cases far Tn excess of that which the motor is designed to carry; and, indeed, in a well designed motor g current danger ous for the motor will De reached be- fore the motor has been stalled. The effect of this heavy current on the mo- tor. if allowed to continue, Is to heat the windings to a dangerous degree and destroy the insulation, possibly setting it on fire; and 1t Is to prevent less handling of the car or to unex- pected causes, that the fuses are used. A fuse is simply a short piece of wirs of such size that it will be melted by a current which, if allowed Go flow through the motor for any time, will damage it. The melting of tho fuse opens the circuit and cuts off the Ctir- rent from the motor. To protect the car the fuse is inclosed in fireproof box.
 When the fuse blows there is gen- crafty q volatilization of the metal of the fuse and slight explosion. These explosions usually cause report and some smoke.

FOOD VALUE OF OYSTER.
BivaIve Does Not Rank with the Cod Haddock OF MackereI-The H
 Blue Point.

As matter of interest there is only one species of oyster, ostrea virginica, along the eastern coast of North America. says Good Housekeeping. The western coast has at least five species. but only two of these are of inn portance, and these do not compare with the eastern shellfsh. Thussit is appar- ent that blue point, a Providence river and Chesapeake bay oyster are ones and the same thing, so far as spe- cies Is concerned. The difference is merely a matter of environment, dff- ference in food supply and conditions in growth.
 The noted blue point comes from the Long Island shore, from what was once a natural bed It gets it's name from the little town of Blue Point, off which the beds were discovered. These oys- ters were of handsome shape and extra appearance, and at once commanded fancy prices. It was only matter of time when these and neigh'boring beds would be worked out, and then 1t was found necessary to resort to seeding" or planting is, covering the Osn1o. WYE "ion youn5 oystefS ifoHl other lo- calities.
 The oyster is rich in phosphates, but is almost entirely lacking in fatmaking, muscle building material and those ele- nlef1ts which go to make up physical force and vitality While it is whole some and easily assimilated, the actual food value of the oyster is not s,lffi- cient to rank 1t with our great food fishes-the cod, haddock, mackerel, etc

NO TIPS FOR HIS WATERS.
New York Restaurant Man Makes a

to my customers that they are not

"YOu see, when Il customer tips

get extra service or to have his
check scaled down, and the res

other words. the tipping of wait
ers took money out of my pocket.
Il said nothing, but kept my
eyes open for a few days, and
saw that il was in handing the
check to the customer that the
walters got their tips. When
they were doubtful of a man they
actually made him ask for his
check. That observation made il

no opportunity for the waiter to
dumbly suggest that his hand was
open, and it made i. easy for the
customer to get away without Civ.

"In week tipping had practic

the checks began to increase to

Insect Senses.

Naturalists have decided that
many insects have senses which
human beings lack. That of loca-
ton, shown by the wasp, for in
stance, is remarkable. One spe-
cies builds its nest in a sandbanll
that is only a part of several acres
of such soil, and when it leaves in
search of food it covers the nest So
carefully that no ordinary eye
could discover its location. That
is to say it is just like all the sur.
rounding location, and yet the
wasp flies back to it without hes
itatiOn and finds it without max
ing a mistake. There is another
wasp that unerringly locates the
eggs of the. mason bee under a
thick layer of sun-baked clay, and
deposits her eggs in the same
cells that her young may have
food when they are Matched.
