From the Washington Post.

AAAi N e9tiAilBlon GOSI.
 1 HERE is being retouched in Paris NY just now a painting with an un-
 usual history. It Is pronounced genuine correggio on the authority of the well known Moorish collector. Rai- souli, of whose collection Mir. Ion Perdi- caris once formed a part. It's owner is Patrick Francis Sheedy. gambler globe trotter and now fast becoming an art connoisseur.
 Mr. Sheedy is at present on one of his tours. When he returns to this his home port. if he has one at all, he expects to bring the painting with him.
 It was a little private sH1e conducted. not in an art gallery, but on the sands of Africa, that brought the painting into MT. sheedy's hands. Pat always gets his paintings In a peculiar way No auction sales from catalogues for him.
 In this particular sale MT Sheedy was the purchaser and Raisouli was the seller. The price at which the bandit knocked down the painting to Pat hasn't been re- ported yet.
 According to the description of the pic- ture cabled here If 1t isn't a genuine Cor reggie 1t Is pretty close to it-so close that MT. sheedy pronounces it genuine, and he isn't fooled easily, even when it's pictures and not chips.
 It represents the infant Jesus Tn the arms of the Virgin Mary in the act of placing a ring on the finger of St. Cath Urine. It Is believed by those who have inspected 1t to have formed part of some pirates plunder taken into Morocco from some Spanish monastery a century or more ago.
 Sheedy on his present trip had some business which took him to Morocco One report has had it that he went there to get the Sultan to lift the lid bit in his domains for MT. Sheedy's purpose. This must not rashly be accepted as the truth, because that report always follows Mir. Sheedy around the globe, coming from practically tvery place yet unexplored by him.
 Whatever his business was in Morocco, it seems that his fame as a finder of stolen art treasures of the world had proceeded him. Some one was waiting to tip him off that Raisouli had something pretty good. if reports were true-a pie ture undoubtedly stolen years ago, just like the famous Gansborough which Sheedy recovered from Adam Worth
 Good" said Pat when he heard of this new one.

Chicago Behind.

T notice in the Chicago Daily News of last Monday that the merchants of the Windy City have begun the delivery of goods to outlying towns by trolley line said a merchant of Birmingham yesterday. q have always heard that Chicago was an enterprlsing city. but she is years behind Birmingham in this particular.
 For the past two years l have been sending all my packages to suburban and outlying towns by the trolley express of the Birmingham Railway. Light and Power company, and the business is in- creasing rapidly.
 '1 do not know where the idea orlgi- mated, but I know that it has been used successfully in Birmingham and that it Is frequently being improved and extended" !"

THING THAT FIRE WON'T BURN.

The .housekeeper who first made &C., quaintance with asbestos as a stove-mat, writes Aubrey Fullerton in Technical World Magazine for May, now uses it as stove polisher, as a flat-iron holder, as lamp wick, and as a fire-pad under her gas burner. Most likely, too, her kitchen range is lined with it. Our dwelling houses are fireproofed with asbestos wall paper, asbestos roofing material, and as- bestos paint. In office buildings and factories the steam pipes are oyerlaid with asbestos covering, and the boilers with asbestos cement. Machinists use asbestos yarn or wick for packing ps- ton rods and valve stems, and asbestos mill board as a joint packing. Electri- clans value it as non-conductor.
 The modern theatre has freproof stage curtains of asbestos cloth, and the best equipped fremen wear asbestos uni- forms Storage rooms on ocean steam ships are lined with asbestos, and it is equally seryiceable in the domestic re- frigerator Chemists find asbestos fibre the best filter medium; and because of it's non-absorbing qualities it is valued in hospitals.
 Known to some extent in ancient Greece and Egypt. the existence and use of as- bestos seem afterward to have been for gotten until quite recent years. Since 1866 the Italian mines have been the chief source of supply in Europe, and until twenty-five years ago they were the only mines in the world. At the present time, however, asbestos Is being mined in vary ing quantities in Russia, Australia, and Africa, and most largely of all in Amer ica. It occurs in some nine or ten of the states of which Georgia produces the largest quantity and Vermont the high est grades. But of the grades suitable for the highest class of manufacture which, in other words, means the grades suitable for spinning and weaving-the Province of Quebec has practically world monopoly.

Variety of Music.

'eFhose who attended solemn high mass at St. Paul's yesterday heard great va riety of music,'' said musician.
 "The services opened with Gresorian chant. Then came the Kyrie and the Gloria of Mozart's brilliant and melodic mass No. 12. After the sermon we heard the Credo from Gounod's heavenly St. Cecilia mass. The offertory number was an anthem by Lambilotte, an Italian com poser of the old fiorid school. The Sane tus and the Agnus Dei, were from Mo- zart's Twelfth During the benediction three plain hymn tunes were heard-one or two of them German airs intended for congregational singing"
