Under Pho Mono. the Protomedico, DR..
Alessandro Ceccareili. the immediate pred
ecessor of DR.. Lapponi, was the involun-
tary witness of scene which became
public property through other instrumen-
tality than that of the emipently able and
cautious physician. 1t was in the early
autumn of 1877. not many months before
Pho Nonos death, that the Empress Eu-
genie had an audience of his holiness-the
first meeting between tie two after the
disastrous war of 1901. AT that time the
pope's health had caused some anxiety, and
DE-. @Ceccarelli had not only to be in at
tendance or at least within Immediate call,
on occasions when his venerable patient
might be supposed to run risks from audi
ences likely to agitate or to excite him.
but he had himself to have assistance also
at hand in case such might be required.
1t was in these circumstances that the
widowed empress for the first time con-
presence. far more eloquently than in actu-
al words, that the war of 1S10-7l-''my
war, as her ex-majesty called 1t in the
hush Of her anticipated triumph by which
the holy see was to De reinstated In its
possessions and the temporal power re-
stored-had been the undersigned cause of
the downfall OF both the second empire
and the pontin sovereign. The stua ton
proved too much for the self-c -nmand OF
the empress and the aged pope. She pros
trated herself before him. shedding many
tears. while ne. in his anxiety to raise
her. was In imminent danger of falling.
At that instant DR.. Ceccarelli interviewed
from an adjoining apartment and with the
assistance OF "camerferf' close at hand
was able to replace the agitated pontiff in
agitated empress to regain her ssif-pos-
DeHsion.

Ventilation Suggestions.
From the Lewiston Journal.

From the Lewiston journal.
A correspondent suggests that pneumonia
and many other diseases due to bad air are
increasing, and asks for a reform in { r
method of ventilation. Ventilation should
be at the bottom of a room instead
of at the top. Our street railways are yenti-
lated opposite to what they should be. We
have heaters below and ventilators above.
We should have ventilators below and heat
ers above. Our forefathers hit one nail on
the head WIN they built the open fireplace
at the bottom of the room. 1t is suggested
II we provide false bottoms and tops to
street and railway cars. with fans for cir
culation that we can travel without taking
cold. Many people hesitate to travel in win
ter for fear of the effects OF alternate cold
draft and overhead. The remedy lies in
taking the forefathers' open fire and ue-
veloping the hint. Progress consists in TAX
ing old things and making new things out
OF them.

SALE OF INDIAN LANDS.
Greater Sum Than Has Ever Been
Realized

BY the sale, under sealed bids. Of the
pasture lands of the Kiowa. COmanche and
Apache Indian reservation in southern Ok
Iahoma a greater sum has been realized
than any sale of public lands before ever
brought.
About 100000 sealed bids, covering 375,0OO
acres, were received. A bidder was per-
mitted to bid on as many quarter sections
of the land as he desired. but each bidder
will be awarded only one quarter section.
The average price received for the land. ac-
cording to figures already compiled, is $12 10
an acre Thus the Indians will realize from
the sale $4,O74, 600, or an average Of about
81 200 for each Indian interested. A surplus
of 10000 acres remains yet to be sold or
otherwise disposed of. 1t probably will be
two or three weeks before a complete list
of the successful bidders is made by the
land office.
