BaIxae and Black Coffee.

Balzac was addicted to the use of strong black coffee and depended upon it as a nervous st,mulant during the hours which he devoted to compost tion. Its effect he has himself de scribed in these words:
 ''The coffee falls into your stomach. Immediately everything starts into ac- tion. Your ideas begin to move like Grand Army battalions on the battle field, and the battle opens. Memories arrive at a run, standards flying; the light cavalry of comparisons breaks into a magnificent gallop; the artillery of logic dashes up and unlimbers; thoughts come rushing up as sharp shooters; characters spring up on all sides; the paper becomes covered with ink, for the struggle has begun and ends in torrents of black water like the battle in black powder"

Vatican. is not conducive to longevity. In fact while in the past the average duration of a Pontificate was from four to five years. since 1870 we have had the longest reigns known among the occupants of the chair of St. Peter: Plus TX was the first to surpass St. Peters in length, while Leo XIII. who was elected chiefly because he was supposed to be so feeble that his life would be a short one. remained Pope for twenty-five years. and Plus x has already worn the Fisherman's ring for seven years.
 Of course there is a prediction that the present Pope will not outLve the nine years of Pontificate, because he was nine years a parish priest. nine years a Bishop. ard nine years Patri- arch of Venice. However. whenever he has read in the papers. which he peruses carefully every day, that he is also expected not to be more than nine years Pope, he has exclaimed laugh ingly:
 'This time I am going to disappoint them!"-Rome correspondence London Standard.

Burns as a Tax Collector.

In the olden days candles were taxed articles, and 1t was the duty of Robert Burns as an excise officer to see that the tax was not evaded. He generally looked the other way, however, as when passing through the kitchen one night at William Lorimer's of Kenni- shall, where the gudewife was busy making candles. he merely remarked, Faith, madam. ye're thrang the nicht," and passed into the parlor.-St. James Gazette
