Comment on Allocution

Paris, December 1.-The passage in Pope Benedict's allocution alluding to a peace mot advantageous to one alone of the belligerent partes," is generally com merted upon by the Italian press as ambiguous, says Havas dispatch from Rome. Some of the comments express the view that the pope meant by his words to condemn annexationist ambi- tions of Germany and Austria growing out of their military successes, while others, on the contrary, think that he wished to plead in behalf of those powers, since he must regard their defeat as certain, the dispatch adds

me on this very account to show even
more favor toward his client than

sure that he meant 1t; and, taking his
attitude as an omen, I obeyed his
injunction and was soon we'll enough
to take my seat upon the bench.
What men saw facing them from

to do so much work each day. The
real Ostrander was not there, but
stood, an unseen presence at the bar,
undergoing trial side by side with
John Scoville, for crime to make
angels weep and humanity hide Its

back after a short circuit of the fields

tom of the tin, from the inside and
into the all. A small round circular
hole is made in the center of the lid
and all that has then to be done is
to place the ball inside the tin and
fix the lid securely on and draw the
string off through the hole as 1t is
required.
For ~suspending the scissors, two
small holes are made in the lower
side of the tin, close together, and the
end of a piece of string passed In at
one hole and out at the other. In this
way the string can be tied to the tin
and the other end of the string can
be tied to the handle of a pair of
scissors.
A string box of this kind is very
useful fastened to the wall by the
side of a writing table, and when in
tended for that purpose the tin should
be neatly covered with thin silk. This
can be done by cutting out pieces of
the required size and shape, and turn
ing the material over at the edges of
the tin and underneath and fastening
it on with a strong adhesive, or, If
preferred, the exterior of the tin can
be painted with enamel selected of a
color to harmonic with the wall
