Latest Physical Culture Fad.

Recently an American visitor in
London complained in the press that
English people blew their noses with
singular freedom in restaurants and
other public places. Thereupon one
of the newspapers said: ''The Ameri-
can visitor who is astonished at the
Englishmans performance with the
pocket handkerchief is evidently I'M
aware that this very performance is
the latest thing in physical culture
Adenoids, the fashionable malady OF
the twentieth century nursery, is now
said by many experts to be largely
caused by insufficient blowing Of the
baby nose, and nose blowing forms a
class exercis%@ in most enlightened
systems of drill. That American visit
or should attend one of Fraulein
Wilkes classes at the Southwestern
Polytechnic, Chelsea, to see the from
bone blast being done as elegantly as
it can be done. He would be greatly
edited by the spectacle of thirty or
forty ladies in gymnastic costume all
blowing their noses at the word Of
command"

The nearer we draw to the time fixed
for the Consistory, which should take
place next June, the more difficult be-
comes the position of the Pope for the
choice of the new Cardinals, SO many
are the recommendations which he re-
ceives. The candidates are so numer-
Gus that even to please one-tenth the
Sacred College would have to be COM
posed of at least 100 Cardinals, in
stead of seventy. which is the maxi
mum number.
In the Anglo-Saxon countries alone
they claim large number of red hats.
In England they would like an Arch
bishop to be made Cardinal whose see
has been until now considered always
as a Cardinals see, and they would
also like to have a certain Abbot raised
to the honor of the purple who occu-
pies high position in a religious order
dear to Emperor William. Scotland
would like a representative in the Sa-
cred College, and Ireland another.
Finally, the United States are strug-
Cling with FIVE candidates, maintain
ing that with the addition of the Phil
ippines they have become the third
Catholic country, and have, therefore,
the right to representative in the Sa-
cred College at least equal to Spain.
Australia alone seems content to have
no other besides Cardinal Moran-Pall

All Invited.

A ludicrous instance of absent-m1nd-
edness was afforded by the pastor Of a
church in a small town of Virginia.
Not long ago, one Sunday morning,
this minister forgot to give the usual
announcement of social events for the
week. He had uttered some words of
his final blessing, when deacon, in a
whisper, invited his attention to the
omission. Whereupon the clergyman
ceased praying and said:
Brethren, I omitted to inform you
that an oyster supper will be served
at Brother Mullins house next Friday
evening, the Goth instant. All are in
vited to come, bringing their own bowls
and spoons" Then, continuing his in
vocation, quite unconscious Of the hui
NOR of the situation, the worthy man
added:
"And may the Lord have mercy on
your souls! Amen Harper's Weekly.

DESCRIBING THEIR
SENSATIONS.
Emotions Excited by the Coliseum
and the Old Cider Mill, With Die
gressions Anent Dried Apples

Yes said the red-headed man, 81
spent three months in Rome, and l
never got tired OF looking at the ruins
of the Coliseum. I could have gone
out there every day"
Ruins, eh?" queried one of the
farmers on the seat ahead.
Ruins, sir, with a history. When
that Coliseum was erected Rome was
in her glory. She was the greatest
power on earth. She dominated all
Europe. When Rome spoke kings
trembled. When Rome sent forth her
armies nations crumbled. All these
things came to me as stood there and
looked, and felt, sir-I felt
eyes, I can imagine how you felt
Il stood there and my mind went
back hundreds Of years, and felt
"I've felt the same thing" Clipped
in the farmer, land you needn't try
to describe it. Only last summer
went back to the home of my boyhood,
and stood there before the ruin of
an old cider mill where / used to swig
down the sweet stuff as it came from
the press, and the fust I knowed my
eyes was full of tears and I was
wishin' [ had been born a calf and
had no feelin's to be hurt. Yes,
understand jest how you felt, but when
you got over it did you go around
aslkin' if there was any market there
for dried appless We've got about
a hundred pounds on hand, and if
there's any demand over in Rome I'll
ship 'em over there"
The red-headed man gave him long
look OF mingled sorrow and disgust,
and instead of putting the farmer onto
the dried apple market he pulled a
newspaper from his pocket and began
reading about the riots in Russia
