THF PAPAu COAT OF ARMS.
1t Differs With Each Pope and Rare
" Shows a Religious Device.

The Pope's escutcheon or shield Is
oval in shane. The crest. which Il
exclusively his, consists of the tiara
with the fanons or flaps and st
Peters KEYS in satire above the chief
There is no motto accompanying the
papal arms.
In almost every instance the Popes
have made use Of their family arms;
few only impaling these arms with
those of their religious order as the
Renedictine Popes, or marshalihS the
latter in the chief, as was done by the
Dominican and Franciscan ropes l he
present Pope, not having any fanny
arms, adopted part OF those OF TWO
bishops OF Treviso, his friends, ana
after his elevation preserved also the
arms of the Patrarchate OF Venice.
The crest which of course, * the
same for all Popes. is made up OF the
tira and the keys. The tiara or triple
crown is nowadays OF oVoid shape,
and since the time Of Benedictine MI
has been encircled by three crowns on
gold and sulmoGnted with small
tere stial globe and its cross.
The three crowns by heraldic tradi-
ton. and as can be seen on the tara
Of the Pontificial Jubilee of Leo NH,
1902, are of three different orders; the
larger and lower one is royal crown
of tieur de lys, the middle is prince
ly or ducal crown and the upper Il
Counts coronet. These three crowns,
called often the triregnum, are inter-
preted to represent the Pope's at
tributes as king. prophet or doctor.
and high priest. as expressed also IN
the coronation ceremony when the
first cardinal deacon imposes it,
The keys of st. Peter represent the
double power OF loosenng and bind
ing Matt xvi, 49,. and for this rea-
son the one in dexter is gold and the
other in sinister is silver. The wards
marked with a cross are represented
upward and the handles downward to
express that this power comes from
Heaven, but is exercised on earth,
Both keys are united by a red string
ending with a tuft. The fanons of
the tiara are generally raised to show
a cross on either extremity.

BANK NOTES.
First Used In China Where They Were
Made of Skin.

In China, the first country in the
world credited with using bank notes.
certain skins were so valuable that
they were accepted as cash and passed
from hand to hand in the same way as
bank notes are at the present day.
The negotiablity of these skins arose
thus: The Emperor. Gu I'll, being in
want of money. gave his treasurer to
understand that such a state of af-
fairs must not continue. At that time
it was customary for Princes and
courtiers on entering the royal pres
ence to cover their faces with a piece
of skin. Taking advantage of this
custom, the treasurer ordered a de-
cree to be issued forbidding the use of
any other skins for this purpose ex-
cept those of a certain white deer in
the royal parks. Immediately there
was a demand for pieces of these skins,
which, being monopoly, We're sold at
a high price, and the royal Golfers re-
filed. The steady value of the skins
thus secured made them readily pass
and be accepted as an equivalent of
coin of the realm. In the Russian seal

SINGS UNDER KNIFE.
Operations Under New Drug Are Ab-
soluteIy Without Pain.

While DIR. w. Wayne Babcock. at the
Samaritan Hospital operated on l6-year-
old Edna Ford. an Atlantic City girl,
for the removal of the appendix recently
the girl exchanged witty repartee with
the nurses and surgeons grouped about
the operating table and finally burst into
song
The young patient was under the In
fluence of novatain, an anaesthetc which
is the private prescription of DIR. Bah
cock. and similar to stovaine. the anaes
thetic used by DIR. Joneson, the famous
| Roumanian surgeon, which paraiyzes the
sense of feeling but does not make the
patient unconscious.
Physicians who were present at the
operation say that while the girl gave
one of the greatest demonstrations of
nerve that they have ever witnessed in Il
surgical ward the operation also was a
triumph for the anaesthetic. which, in
iected into the spine. destroys the sense
of pain but permits the patient to laugh
and chat with the surgeons as they WELD
the knife.
The needle was inserted between the
vertebrae of the spinal column, and in
moment the spinal column was numbed
by the powerful drug, The girl smiled in
contentment at the cessation of pain.
She was advised to keep a stout heart.
"Oh that's all right" she nodded, with
a smile II don't mind now, for it
doesn't hurt"
While Mr. Babcock and his assistants
worked with skilled fingers the girl lay
with upturned face wreathed in smiles,
and joked first with the doctor and then
with the nurses. Suddenly the silence OF
the operating room was broken by the
clear, sweet notes of a girlish soprano.
Slowly but firmly the girl began ana con-
tinued with unwavering tones TO the
completion of the song:
"Roses. roses roses bring memories OF
you, dear
Memories of lifes sweetest hours
Telling your love to the flowers, -,
Roses roses your love was IKE the
roses
Fresh for day, but they faded away.
Red roses bring dreams or you.
BY the time she had completed the
song. the doctors. too, had ended their
work. and the patient was wheeled from
the room to her cot She was strong after
the operation and will have an early
recovery. the surgeons say.-N. Y. World.
