I do not wish to leave the Vatican
withoitt relating an anecdote of a
poetic and touching character, which
possesses also the merit of showing
the great veneration in which the
person of the holy father is held by
devout Catholics.
Aware of the fact that a perfect
traffic in the garments of his prede-
cessor was carried on some years
ago. the present pope rarely yields
to solicitations of this nature. Never-
theless he is not immovable when he
is morally certain that there is no
arriere pensee of a speculative char-
acter in the request,
Not knowing to whom she should
apply and being determined at all
hazards to get something belonging
to the pope, a young lady had re-
course to an ingenious and bold piece
of strategy. With her own pious
hands she made a white skull cap
precisely similar to the one that is
worn by Leo XIII. At one of the re-
cent pilgrimages she appeared be-
fore his holiness, and holding out
her handiwork boldly asked the
good old gentleman to swap caps.
At first the pope looked astonished,
but soon his face became lighted
with a kindly, paternal smile, while
the cap remained in the outstretched
and trembling little white hand.
The pope's smile gave her courage,
and yielding to the impulse of her
ardent piety she pulled off the holy
father's cap and presented him with
the one she had made.
Leo Xni laughed, swapped caps
with her and gave her his blessing.

Curiosltle* of OlMimaklnf.
The art of glass manufacture goes
back into antiquity to a time "when
the mind of man runneth not to the
contrary," yet we cannot penetrate
the mists which hang over the infan-
cy of ,what has for ages been a useful
industry. Its original discovery is al-
leged, on the authority of several rep-
utable writers, to have been the re-
sult of an accident in which some
nitrum (supposed by some to have
been salt) was fused with sand. The
date of this event is not eyen approx-
imately given, but is ^aid to haw
taken place on the banks of the Be-
lus, in Palestine, where some mari-
ners had landed and were cooking
their meals, using blocks of nitrum
to hold their pots in position.
Sir Gardner Wilkinson gives a cut
of a piece of Egyptian sculpture work
which represents two glass blow-
ers plying their art in a manner
which strikes one as being surpris-
ingly like that practiced at the pres-
ent time. Sir Gardner informs us
that this sculpture was executed
about 3,500 years ago during the
reign of Beoi Hassan.' Theban paint-
ings and sculptures. which are known
to date back to the time of the exodus,
1400 B. C., show glass drinking ves-
sels of delicate patterns and tine
workmanship, in some instances ri-
valing similar vessels of modern
make.—St. Louis Republic.
Brothers Who Call oil Girl*.
The girl who has a brother knows
how a young man is apt to talk at
the breakfast table the next morning
after he has made an Evening call.
"Yes," he admits, "I did stay later
than I ought—I knew that very well
—but what's a man to do when a
girl starts a new topic of conversa-
tion every time he makes a move to
go or tells him that he is always in
a hurry to get away when he comeH
there? You have to 1>e polite!" And
she knows with what a relish he al-
ways tells about the young lady who
informed him flatly one evening thai
1U o'clock was the leaving hour at
her home. He did not enjoy it par-
ticularly at the time, he owns, but
he has had a mighty respect for that
young lady ever since.
. So the girl who has a brother pon-
ders on these things and never urges
a gentleman caller to remain after HI
o'clock has struck.
She knows that when this brother
calls on three different young ladien
within a week he does not diecourso
largely upon the other calls at either
of the places. Tins knowledge keeps
her from believing herself to bo the
only and particular star of any gen-
tleman who comes to see her fre-
quently and never mentions visiting
the other girls. It makes her less sus-
ceptible and more suspicious.—Chi-
cago News-Record.

A Doctor's Confession of Murder.
Dr. Francois Fonteney, a wealthy
medical practitioner in Clarkesville,
died, having confessed to the murder
of a clergyman in 1865. He attended
the clergyman's wife in an illness
that resulted fatally, and desiring to
from the grave. As he was replac
ing the earth the husband came upon
the scene, a fight ensued, the husband
was killed, and his body was thrown
intn the empty coffin of his wife. A
heavy rain washed away all traces of
the scuffle. Hie autopsy was held
and resulted in an important discov
erv.—London Tit-Bits.
A Figure Just Before the Battle.
Secretary Herbert is responsible for
the following: ' 'Our men were in line
awaiting the word to advance. In
front of us, riding deliberately up
and down the line, was a handsome
youth in gray, mounted on a fleet
looking iron gray horse and bearing
a bright new battleflag, whose vivid
stars and bars shimmered in the sun-
light. The boy sat erect, looking aH
proud as any Rupert and his horse an
spirited as an Arabian. The flying
bullets and shrieking shells never
fazed his superb bearing as he rodo
to and fro up and down the long line.
Now and then he would disappear in
thick clouds of powder smoke, but ho
would be seen again riding back, bin
face actually beaming with what
O'Hare calls "the ardor of the fight.1
Before the word came to move ho
had gone again down the line and
had not returned. I never know
whether he was killed or not. but I
thought involuntarily of how a Yan-
kee boy had died the day before."—
