TREASURY IS cRAMPED.


LACK OF Room Detraets FrOm Klche9 OF
Sc. PeteFsn.
Rome, Nov. 20--The Treasury Of st.
Peters, by far the richest collection OF
church ornaments and vestments in the
world, although open to the public, has
very small space OF the room in which
1t was contained.
Thanks to Cardinal Rampolla. Arch
priest Of the Basilica. and Monsignor
de Bisegno, Dean OF the Chapter, to
whom the work of arrangement was
entrusted, the treasures are now prop
erIy set apart for the suppose behind
the sacristy, and can now be Viewed
without being taken out. almost one
nv one. from the locked cupboards In
which they were stored.
The gain is not only to the public,
who can now see them more easily.
but also to the preservation OF some Of
the more ancient vestments which
however carefully handled, always ran
some risk In being moved Among
these may be instanced the famous
dalmatic OF Leo III. worn at the cor
onation of Charlemange. q marvellous
specimen Of BYZANTINE art which has
kent its beauty of color for fully 1000
years. Many of the copes and other
vestments. OF which there is vast
collection. are hardly less beautiful and
interesting.
The most ancient treasure of all is
the Crux vaticana, which. according TO
tradition, was given by Justinian. En-
peror of the East, and dates from the
sixth Century There are also In the
treasury a wealth of caskets. chal-
ices. and other vessels, dating from
the Thirteenth and fourteenth Centu-
rfes. and the famous six candelabra in
silver gilt. the work of Benvenuto Cell
lini, and two others made by Antonio
Gentill after the designs OF Michael
Angelo, OF the many reliquarieH
which the Treasury contains, most are
more rich and ornate than beautiful.
but two are interesting as dating
back TO the Fourteenth Century.

SABLE ISLAND PONY HUNTS.
Catching the Wild Horses Which Inhabit
the Place of Wrecks

When the supply of horses runs low in
Nova Scotia an expedition goes to Sable
island, rounds up Il herd of wild ponies.
selects the best of the lot, lassoes them
and transports them to the mainland
and captivity. Most persons know Sable
island as one of the places where the
transatlantic liners are picked up by
wireless and reported and also as the
place of shipwrecks, but the wild horses
constitute an interesting feature Of it.
Sable island is about 100 miles south
east of Cape Canso. 1t is often CON
fused with Cape Sable island, which is
the southwestern extremity OF Nova
Scotia. 1t doesn't fit in with ones ideas
of horse ranch in fact many persons
think of it as Il barren waste, but II
has about 200 square miles of territory
and is fairly fertile. 1t was trecIcsS
until the government began to plant
trees there in order to make the island
more conspicuous to mariners.
The ponies thrive and are hardy lot.
They prefer the open, refusing the
rough shelters which persons with an
eye to future profits have erected for
their comfort. When a storm comes, as
it does frequently, the horses gather in
hollows between the sandhills and line
up as if for a battle. The herds arrange
themselves with the colts in the center
the mares next, then the stations and
the master stallion of the herd in the
most exposed situation.
The roundup comes at least once 4
year and is exciting sport. The island
is swept from end to end and the horses
driven into a large pound. The roping
of those marked down for shipment is II
hazardous task and equals a bronco
busting tournament in spectacular inter
est. When n horse is thrown and tied
he is loaded ANONYMOUSLY onto a wheel
barrow and carted to a surf boat which
takes him to the Halifax steamship.

GROWTH OF REDWOOD.
Develops as Rapidly as Any Other
Native Tree

Native Tree.
Few people realize the rapidity of
growth of the coast redwood trees of
California. Because some of the large
trees Of this family are a thousand
years or more in age, often attaining a
size where they are larger than any
other tree, excepting the famous big
trees, redwood has the reputation of be
ing very slow growing tree As u
matter of fact, redwood sprouts grow
ing from stumps Of older trees are
among the most rapid growing of our
native trees.
To illustrate this point, the United
States Forest service will exhibit at the
Alaska-G ukOn-PaC exposition in Seat
tie this summer, sections from n young
redwood sprout, together with eXplaua-
tory diagrams showing its rate of growth
in diameter, height and volume. This
tree. which was cut from the Dupont
Powder works tracts near Santa Cruz
is over so inches in circumference at the
stump, almost 125 feet in height, and is
only AZ years Of age These dimcn-
sions indicate n growth Of over II inch
in diameter per year. and an annual
growth of almost 27-1O feet in height.
Trees of an even more rapid growth
were seen in the Big river country of
Mendocino county, California, where
redwood sprouts over 80 inches in di-
ametcr on the stump and 12J to 100
feet in height were found growing ON
land cut over 40 to A. years ago. Red
wood sprouts thus rival in their rate
Of growth the much laudcd eucalyptus.

Short suggestions,

1t IS better to cook too slowly than
too fast.
Vinegar diluted with water will re.
move grease from a stove.
Marble should be washed with am.
monia and water rather than with SOAP
and water.
A great many blemishes on wal,
paper may be removed with a rubber
on lead pencil.
The bureau drawer can be made &c
open easily and nciselessly by rubbing
it with common soap.
Dried lemon peel sprinkled over
Goals will destroy any disagreeable
odor about the house.
Combs soon warp and break il
washed with water A good stiff nail.
brush cleans them well.
a weak solution of turpcntine poured
down the water pipes once week will
drive the water bugs away.
To cool an oven while baking never
leave the door open, but cool it by the
drafts or removing one of the plates
over the oven.
If you scorch a garment when iron
Ing it rub a lump Of dry starch on the
mark, then sponge it off. Repeat til
the yellow disappears.
Half a lemon dipped in salt is ex,
cellent for cleaning copper articles
Oxallc acid, too, is equally successful
both for copper and brass.
An Iudiarubber hot water bottle is
easily cleaned. Wash it well with
luke-warm water and soap, rubbing on
the soap with piece Of flannel.
Remove grease stains by saturating
the spots with alcohol rather than ben.
zine. Alcohol does not leave a ring
around the spot afterward. Wash with
cold water.
One often hears complaints that the
boiler ruins aud iron molds the clothes.
To prevent this, as soon as the boiler
Is emptied rub well with soap. This
viii not only prevent rust 1t will also
help to make suds for the next boiling.

A Clever Ruse Enables Robbers to Take

1t has just been learned that a

on the tables-about $1,000 lie then

After that nothing happened for some

CORRECTS BIT OF HISTORY.
Neither CORVALLIS Nor Washington Took
Part in Surrender

History as told by the old to the young
is very often stranger than fiction, espe-
cially when family annals and traditions
are the sources of the narrative, says
the Boston Transcript. Here is a veneer
able southerner who is narrating to
younger southerners how his venerable
grandfathers once told him of seeing
CORVALLIS at the surrender of York
town tender his sword to Washington
point foremost, and Washington compel
him to reverse its position.
1t is pity to spoil a Washington
anecdote considering how scarce new
Washngtoniana are, but the fact is
that CORVALLIS was not present at the
ceremonies of surrender, being "indis-
posed" The humiiating duty of sur
rendering the defeated army was dele
gated to Gen. O'Hara, and Gen. Lincoln,
in behalf of the allied Americans and
French, received the weapon which
O'Iara rendered.

WHERE A GREAT ARTIST ERRED.
Da Vinci's "Feast of Cana' Contains In
correct Architecture,

German archaeologists excavating in
Galilee came upon a hill or large
mound under which they found the
fairly well preserved walls of a
house dating from the time of Christ
which belonged to the dwelling of a we'll
TODD man. A large clubhouse also I'M
earthed contained jars which evidently
had contained wine and olive oil.
The foundations of the house are so
well preserved that there will be no diff
Guilty in making all exact plan of the
rooms, which are similar in character
and design to those in which the famous
supper OF Cana in Galilee took place.
These rooms are wholly unlike the
conception of Leonardo da Viuci and
other painters, who have treated this
subject. The room in which the water
was turned into wine probably was not
more than twenty feet long by ten wide
and had a low roof. There were stone
benches around the walls and recess
in the wall facing the east, in which
perhaps the giyer of the feast sat.
