This brings TO point | wish to
make before closing that there are
angels and angels. There are aborig-
inal angels of heaven, conceived OF
by prophet and poet, beings of O
higher order than man, mediaries be.
tween him and deity. And there are
earth-born angels of our very own,
household spirits, who, when they
have put off the garments of flesh, ap-
pear to our fond imaginings In angel
ic guise, quite at home among their
heaven-born kindred.
OF these angels gone from earth are
not the most part women? How sell
dom the poet, how rarely any one Of
us, beholds even the noblest of depart
ed men as in angelic guise! remem.
her how odd appears to me an early
illustration of Tennyson's "Enoch
srden," where wings and halo are
given to that heroic figure. with finger
pressing lip to noble silence.
1t is the blessed damozel who
"lean'd out from the gold bar OF heav.
en-" to Rossetti's fancy:.it is Mar
guerite who, in Goetfe's thought,
awaiting Faust amid the thronging
angel choirs is tosbe: his future teech'

Even when we come to the gentler'
ministratfons and messages of the
New Testament the heavenly ambas-
stdors are the same.
1t is Gabriel, again, who announces
to Zacharias the coming birth of John,
and the old masters of art glory in
depicting this chief among the heay-
erly hosts when he appeared six
months later to Mary at Nazareth as
the Angel of the Annunciation.
In st. Mark the angel of the tomb
of Christ is described as "a young
man sitting on the right side, clothed
in long white garment" and Mat
thew says, His countenance was like
lightning and his rainment white as
snow, and for fear of him" Il add this
because, as there was no neuter pos.
sessive in King James day, the pro-
noun his is not explicitly "the keep
ers did shake and became as dead
men.
Throughout The Bible, from the
cherubim with flaming sword who
guarded the lost Eden to the angel
who showed to the aged John the vi
sions Of Patmos all the messengers OF
heaven, pure spirit and sexless though
they be. are described as in the guise
of men, young, strong, beautiful and
sometimes stern and terrible.
Turning to Paradise Lost" which
Eight well be called the epic of all
angels" since only two of its many
characters are mortal, we find that
Milton gives specific names to all his
angels, good or bad, who have speak
ing parts" The bad angels are named
after the heather gods, Moloch, Belial,
Beclzebub, etc. To the good angels
are given thesnames that Milton found
for them in the scriptural or rabbini-
Cal authorities. Thus we have Urel
gliding through the even on a sun
beam, swift as shooting STAR
Ithuriel, who, with a touch of his
truth compelling spears, makes Satan
assume his own shape; Gabriel, chief
of the angelic guards" and Uzziel,
his next in power" the seraph Alb
-diel, faithful, found, among the faith
ful only he," and Michael, whose
sword was from the armory OF God,
irresistible, invincible.
The advocates of "women's rights"
in angeldom will find only one char
acter to support their claims, and she,
alas. is not among the troops of the
Blessed, but figures as the FORTRESS
of Hellgate." Rereading the descrip
ton of her in Book II, we may well
lie. glad to note that even the mis-
ogynist Milton portrays this dreadful

He,r . Fish nrenthen.

The gills of a fsh are situated at tho
back part of the sides of the head and
consist OF number of vascular men,
branes, which are generally arranged
ia double, fringelilSe rows, attached tc
the parts by the base only. In some
cases these membranes are feather
shaped, in others mere folds attached
to the sides of the gill cavities. The
fish is cold blooded animal-that is tc
say, its temperature is seldom more
than a degree or two higher than the
water in which it lives. This being
true, the creature needs but a very
small amount of oxygen to keep the
blood at a temperature sufficiently high
to sustain life. This oxygen is sup
piled to the blood of the fish by respir-
ing large quantities of water, or, rath-
er, drinking large quantities of water,
and respiring the air separated from
it by the gills. This explains why a
fish cannot live in a tank of water
which has been sifted through the gills
time and time again any better than o
human being or other animal can in
air that has been deprived of all its OK.
ygen by being taken into lungs and ex.
PEELED without being aerated. Fish
that die I'm the stale water of aqua
rimns may be properly said to drown.
because they perish for want Of air,
the same thing which occasions death
by drowning in man and other lung
breathing animals.

CRITICISM BY The POPE.

A CCORDING to well informed correspond
ent who obtains his information from
highly authentic sources Pope Plus at Rome dur
ing an audience with the Roman Catholic Bishop of
Nashville criticised severely the customs and alleged
practices of the Roman Catholic Church in this
country
The correspondent adds that the Pope proposes to
make special investigation of the condition of the
church here. Although the story is youched for we
doubt its truth. If the reports of the Pope's conver-
sation true, then the pont must have been mis-
informed about conditions of which he is reported to
have complained.
The Pope is saidto be dspleased with the reported
few conversions to the church. There appears to be
no ground for such criticism, if made. All persons
well informed on the trend of religious matters know
that the Roman Catholics in recent years have made
many conversions. Their system of proselyting by
means Of their missioners, the crowds that attend
such gatherings have long been marvel TO many
They have one strong order. the Paulst Fathers,
composed entirely of converts from other religious
faith The zeal Of these priests to lead others to
where they themselves are, is well known. They
are able. active and aggressive. All their meetings
are followed by reports of converts. How many of
these converts remain in the fold, of course is
question.
Part of the growth Of the Roman Catholic Church
is due to immigration, but it has had its share of
converts. The Roman Catholic Church, in most of
the northern states, has more members than any
other denomination In some states it has more ad-
herents than all the Protestant churches combined
Surely the Pope has no point for complaint on that
score. When the condition of the church in France
or Italy or any other country is considered the com
parison is most favorable for the church in America
The Pope is also said to objectto the fees charged
for attending masses This is a custom that is said
to be not very prevalent. There is generally some
special reason for it. We have been informed that
in one church in this city during special mass for
children, there is charge merely to keep the adults
who might crowd on the children away Fees have
also been charged at the masses for Italians in order
to prevent the Others from crowding out those for
whom the mass was especially designed.
Another alleged cause Of complaint is that the
bishops the Pope thinks, live luxurously This will
undoubtedly make the bishops smile According to
the exalted position they occupy, no class of men
live more unostentatously or with more frugalitv
than do the Roman Catholic bishops, if we NAV
Judge from those around US. And the same NAV
be said of the priests.
We cannot credit the story of the Pope's alleged
complaint 1t has SO little basis in fact It reads 10
US like fabrication.

rain coat For a near.

There is one big brown bear in New
York that gets coddled beyond belief.
He belongs to a Sixth avenue furrier.
He is not a live bear. Even the mem
ory of the oldest passenger on the ele-
waited road gOeth not back to the time
of that bears demise; yet, in spite of
his long period as a dead one" he is
the sleekest, best groomed bear in New
York That is because the furrier
takes such good care of him.
Storms are never allowed to beat
upon his glossy coat He cannot be
humored to the extent Of being brought
indoors during a downpour, because it
is his business to stand on a pedestal
outside and drum up trade, but the
next best thing is done for him. He is
provided with a rain coat. 1t covers
him from snout to tail; so, no matter
how hard the rain may beat or the
wind may blow, he is insured from

The Fatc ~ mica

Some light on the fate Of flies was
thrown by II. Hill in a lecture at the
Royal Victoria hall, London, on 'F'lies
and How They Disappear" In Eng
land alone there are 5000 different
kinds OF flies, and Mr.. Hill mentioned
the following principal ways in which
flies perish: They are drowned in milk
at the breakfast table; they get sur
rounded by a white fungus, which saps
their strength; they are eaten by spi-
ders, wasps, frogs, chameleons, lizards,
field mice or fish.
With so many enemies it might be
wondered how flies have continued to
exist. but Mr.. Hill said that he had
himself witnessed a daddy longlegs
whose front half was being devoured
by a spider continuing calmly to lay
eggs with the other half, as though
