Cardinal O'Connel, of the arch do

right to the just share of the profits,
but only to a just share.
The Cardinal must be thinking In

Capital has had its just share OF
the profits for years, 1t has ground
the workingman, women and children
into profits.
1t has starved and dubbed them
while the church has remained silent.

not want a salve to soothe them,
they want to end this dog-eat-dog

USING X-RAY ON PRINCESS
Suspicious Of British Museums Off
ciaIs Regarding Egyptian Mummy
Are Allayed.

A distinguished scientist attached to
one of the government bureaus at
Washington suggests that there may be
such a thing as using the X-rays too
much and too often, especially, he
contends, when the rays are made
the medium to pry into the antece-
dents of young woman of royal lin
cage, resting for the moment under
unjust suspicious.
Every one knows that spurious
mummies have been planned off upon
the public. Recently a doubt arose
in a London museum as to the validity
of one daughter of the Pharaohs in
the collection. 1t occurred to the
museum officials that, in view of the
general hollowness of life, the young
woman in question might have been
manufactured in some up-to-date town.
So the officials at once turned the Ro-
entgen rays upon her, with the re-
suit that they Immediately perceived
through her many-folded wraps the am
ulets which the Egyptians placed upon
the bosoms of their dead So the sus-
picions of the museum officials were
allayed. One of them remarked: ut
does seem little hard that after the
lapse Of several thousands Of years
a lady should be suspected of impos-
ture."

Great slnnsr,s Generosity.

Among the stories told by Arthur
Pougin of Malibran, the great singer,
is one of her stay in Venice. She was
to give six performances at one thea
ter there, when Gallo, the director of
the Teatro Emeronito, being on the
eve of bankruptcy, begged her to give
two at his theater, promising her
a120 for each. She consented, but
when Gallo went to take her the Sec
ond payment, he entered saying:
Here is the sum we agreed on"
"What sum-" she replied with an air
of surprise. "Oh. the 912o for yester-
days performance" 81 don't want
your money. Take 1t all away and
spend it on your children. You shall
kiss me and well be quits" Did the
good fellow believe his ears? His two
performances had brought him In
e4O0 in round figures, had saved him
from bankruptcy, and to crown his
joy, he kissed Nine. Malibran. This
magnanimity to a poor Venetian was
received publicly by frantic ovation.
and crystalized in verse, while the
theater was renamed Malibran.

OFFER SHEEP IN SACRIFICE
Animals Killed at Steps Of Palace In
Constantnople on Feast of
Bairam.

The idea of animal sacrifice seems
strange in modern Europe. But 1t must
not be forgotten that Constantinople
is Turkish, in spite of the numerous
desires on the part of other nations
to possess it-or rather because those
are so numerous.
The new regime in Turkey is up
to date in many things 1t is establish
ing schools, planning railroads and
hoping to take its place by right, and
not by suffrance, among the nations OF
the world. But the favor of the devout
Mussulman is sought by strict observ-
ance of religious festivals.
The second feast of Bariam is the
occasion of sacrifice. It's date is varia-
BILE, since the Turkish year is lunar.
and not solar. Last year came in
December and 1t lasts four days.
In anticipation of this festival,
droves Of fat sheep were taken to
the city from Roumelia and Asia
Minor. The price varied from
81 to SIS. In all the rich and even
well-to-do houses these sheep were sac
rificed, and the flesh in most cases
given to the poor.
Naturally the most elaborate cere-
many was at the royal palace Of Dol
ma Bagtche. The sheep, picked for
their whiteness and plumpness, were
solemnly led to the palace. At the
hour fixed the sultan, surrounded by
his staff, descended the steps and read
a prayer, while the first of the victims
was led to the marble step that be-
came the sacrifical altar.
The sultan made the motions of
killing the sheep but actually handed
the knife to an officer, who waited un-
til the sultan had withdrawn before
completing the sacrifice.
In the last three years the custom
has grown up that the skins and wool
of all the sheep killed in Turkey that
day belong to the sailors.
One of the old rites of Bairam was
to consign all Christians to massacre.
This is now omitted in Constantinople.
But it can be imagined that in the
oasis Of Tripoli this part Of the cere-
monies is carried out with emphasis.

shows clearly enough that the first

John Murrays do today-and, by the
way, John Murray W., who is an ac-
tive and pleasing young man, is taking
more and more Of the burden of his
fathers business. Here is Byron's
letter to John l.:
