The Pope and Cardinal Vaughan.

On the occasion of the great Marian
congress in Rome, the pope SUM
moned Father Bernard Vaughan to
represent the English speaking peo'
pies. The Italians were amazed to
find him so un.English, as they
Thought In his dramatic style. The
story goes Csays writer in the New
oxford weekly paper, Varsity Life
Illustrated') that one day the pope, IN
the presence of one of his cardinals
mimlcked the preachers style, where.
upon Rampolla exclaimed: And he
Is an Englishman!" No" replied the
none he was born on the top of
Mount Vesuvius. and We sent him to
England to cool.

Infection.

visit a small neighboring town, to do
some shopping at what is called the
general store. She was much enter.

out her eyes were attracted by pile
OF notices, deliberately lettered and
ornately framed. the upper one being
the scriptural passage: Walk II love"
As she paused. the clerk, a dapper
young man of more uffability than adj
vantages. stepped forward with the re-
mark. Them are the latest things in
notices. This top one is swell to put
over a young ladys door-'Walk in,

Greek and Roman Artillery.

Greek ordinance-which was adopt
ed by the Romans without any ma
terial alteration-was, almost without
exceptions. dependent on the hand
bow principle. says the Technical
World Magazine. On trying TO shoot
a larger bullet to greater distances,
the elastic arms of the bow were nee
essarily made so strong as TO be no
longer susceptible of tightening by
hand. A tension shaft had therefore
to be fitted to the bow, which shaft
was frightened with levers or hand
wheels Finally, as the power OF
bows altogether failed to insure the
efficiency desired, their bending elias
ticity was replaced by the tensional
elasticity of neura. that is, ropes made
from animal sinews. woman's hair, or,
In an emergency. horsehair.

Who Owns an Employees Inventions
Many an inventor is not a mechanic
and is not even sufficiently practical to
work out the details Of an invention,
so that 1t is necessary for him to en-
ploy the skill of some one else actually
to construct the invention. A complete
inventive act consists Of mental con-
ception of the invention, followed by a
reduction of the invention to practice.
If an employer forms complete men-
tai conception of the invention and
then has his employee construct the
thing he has conceived, the employer
is regarded as the inventor The re-
lation of employer and employee ex-
lists not only where a manufacturer
uses his own regularly employed me-
chanic, but where any inventor en-
ploys any mechanic to reduce his in
vention to practice. In this sense a
corporation employed to build a ma
chine embodying an invention would
be an employee as to the inventor. If
there arises any controversy as to who
made the inventlon-that Is, as to
whether the employer or the employee
made the invention-the presumption
is that the employer made II, and the
employee must show by convincing
proof that he made the invention be-
fore his claim will be entertained

at may or may not be the case that
a races temperament can be judged
from its folk songs" said traveller on
q transatlantic liner the other day,
"but it is interesting to note the diff
ference of subject matter in the songs
of various peoples.
1.-THE Irishman, for instance, seems
to sing for the most part about his
ladylove. Hardly any of his songs are
not addressed to his Somebody Ma
vourneen.'
1.-THE Scot, on the other hand, sings
about his country and its history, as a
rule. Scots VIVA Haze 'Ye Banks and
Braes O. Bonnie Doom Loeb Lomond,'
and so on, might be taken as examples.
1.-The Englishman, it is interesting to
note, sings about himself all the time.
His songs are about his own glory, his
ships, his men, his power. He refers
occasionally to old England, but only
as a place he made famous by his own
proves. Unlike the Irish and the
Scotch, he sings little Of his women
and his countTy's beauties" New York

Victor Hugo always translated the
Firth of Forth as "the First Of the
Fourth" and swore that he was right,
too, while Dlsraeli noted with amuse-
ment "woebegone" as "douleur va
ten" An early translator Of SCOTS
bride of Lammermoor" had it as LA
Bride de Lammermoor," the second
word meaning "bridle," and the same
man rendered welsh rabbit" by Ga
pin du Pays de Gales" The case of
La Derniere Chemise de PAmour' for
Loves Last Shift" is classic, and
when the farce Hit or Miss" was
done into French it almost was billed
as "Frappe on Mademoiselle." That
delightful piece in which Toole was at
his funniest. "Walker, London" was
referred to in a French newspaper as
"Londres qui Sc Promene," The best
that the translator could do for the
"Stickit Minister was "Le Ministre
Assassine."

OF the word "caullfower" a writer
in the London Chronicle says: "The
modern spelling is artificial, and If we
were to write it as we pronounce it,
'collyfower,' we should be taking a
step back In the natural direction. Co
leforye,' as they spelled it in the six
tenth century, brings out the true
meaning Of the vegetables name
Powered cabbage'-'cole' being an old
word for cabbage and 'forye' repre-
senting the French 'flori,' or 'feuri,'
Powered. But because in Latin it was
called 'cauliflora' 1t began to be writ
ten 'colieforie' or 'collyforie' in Eng
fish, probably by deliberate assimlla-
ton to the Latin, and eventually even
to be written 'cauli,' though still pro-
nounced 'colly.' Meanwhile the second
part of the word got popularity corrupt
ed to flower"

"This watch" said the apprentice,
runs too fast. I'll regulate it."
"Do nothing of the kind" said the
jeweler
"Why not? the apprentice asked in
surprise.
Because" the other explained, "the
owner teaches music"
But hanged if I see began the
puzzled apprentice.
Listen" the jeweler interrupted.
when watches are left here, never
regulate them unless there is special
order to do so. Some people-music
teachers, for instance want their
watches to run little fast. So do
cabbies. So do fencing masters. Other
people want their watches to run slow.
Builders like slow running watches,
and so do ministers, and so do men

when One Is CHOKING.

~Raising the left arm as high as you
ca viii (. Iieve choking much more
rzpi6ly than being thumped on the
back" said one of the resident physi-
clans of local hospital. This should
be more generally known, for often
person gets choked while eating when
there is no one near to thump him or
her. Very frequently at meals and
when they are at play children get
choked while eating, and the custom
airy manner of relieving them is to
slap them sharply on the back. The
effect of. this is to set the obstruction
free, so that it can be swallowed. The
same thing can be brought about by
raising the left hand of the child as
high as possible, and the relief comes
much more rapidly. In happenings of
this kind there should be no alarm, for
If a child sees that older persons or
parents get excited it is very liable TO
become so also. The best thing Is to
tell the child to raise its left arm, and
Immediately the obstruction passes
down the throat" Philadelphia Rec

Buying a Gift Book.

The principle of choice should in gen.
eral follow the taste or need Of the
friend for whom you are selecting a
book. Yet 1t is also we'll now and
then to open a new channel of interest
by giving a volume outside Of your
friends habitual line. We are often
thankful to friend who has drawn us
out of our mental sheep tracks. There
are few writer's that stand as per-
manent figures in the modern literary
world-writers who have given out
seminal ideas that seed and beautify
the field of thought. Chief among these
men are Shakespeare, Carlyle, Ruskin,
Emerson and Victor Hugo. Until libra
ry possesses at least the best writings
Of these five men it is sadly deficient.
You are doing kngly service when you
make these men known to any thought

There Was No Mission.

The Rev. Eugene Vetromile, an Ital-
ian priest who was the pastor for
many years at PASSPORT and who was
we'll known for his missionary labors
among the Passamaquoddy Indians
and also for his educational work in
their language, having compiled a die
tionary and a grammar in that tongue,
was extremely conservative in all mat
tiers relating to his church and was
violently opposed to anything that
might change its routine. A young
lady OF his congregation once urged
him to establish a mission in PASSPORT
In order to rouse some of the lethargic
members of the church whose spiritual
condition the good father had been de-
ploring
"No, no." he replied, with his quaint
accent. II do not approve of missions
Dey make de excitement. but their eff
fects are not lasting"
ooh, yes, they are," she insisted.
"Well, In that case, you do not need
one, for you had one dree years ago"

DR.. Shirley Bragg, president of the
Alabama convict board, in report
to the governor of that state last
week, says humanity would be best
served if every Jail in the state were
burned. ut would be more humane
and far better" he urges, "to stake
a prisoner out with a ring about his
neck like wild animal than to con-
fine him in places we call jails that
are reeking with filth and disease,
and alive with yermin of all kinds.
[ tell no secrets when say in many
jails men and women remain for
months without means of washing
their faces and hands" OF the mi
quities of the county convict system,
long held to be a blot on the civiliza-
ton of the state, the doctor says: "If
the state wishes to kill it's convicts
it should do it directly and not indi-
rectly."

One of the funniest incidents in base
stealing happened in Chicago one Of
the years that Bill LANCE led the
league in base running. 1t was a close
race between LANCE and Hamilton for
the honors in base stealing and the
season was drawing to a close. The
game was close, and LANCE led off in
the eighth inning with two Dagger.
Arson went to bat and laid down q
perfect bunt, intending to sacrifice.
He went out in close finish at first
and, looking up, discovered LANCE still
perched on second. He was furious,
but that condition was mild compared
to what he experienced an instant lat
er when LANCE stole third-and took
the lead for base running honors.
