tant from the place where the wrap had been set killed a wolf with that very trap attached to his leg. The animal was re- duced almost to a skeleton. That he should have been able to drag the trap about for a month threugh 100 miles of forest shows how hard it is to kill a wolf and doubtless his relatives the fox and the jackal as well as other wild anmia!s not so Nearly connected could furnish material for equally wonderful tales.

Going down lower in the brute creation the power of clinging to life seems to in- crease, Every. one knows how hard it is to killa snake and the old superstition about the pieces living till sunset seeme« to have been quite justified. Other reptiles show even more wonderful powers. It is sometimes very hard to kill a common tortoise. An English writer, Shaw, tells of one that lived six months after its brain was taken out, moving its limbs and walking as before, Another lived twenty-three days after its head was cut off, and the head itself opened and closed its jaws a quarter of an hour after it was separated from the body.

Next lower in the scale of creation come the fishes, and no fisherman need be told that they will flop about in the liveliest way hours after they have been pulled out of their natural habitat. Dut the champion of all fish in this respect is the shark. Itis so hard to kill sharks that they Often live when life would seem impossible. A shark was once caught by the sailors on the French ship Rossignol, and was split open and cleaned as one would clean a fish, his heart and all his other internal organs being taken out. The body was then thrown overboard, when, to the astonishment of all, it swam away and was soon out of sight. Of course, it could not have lived long, but it is wonderful that it kept so much life in its body as to be able to swim at all,

Starting a Fashion. os

There was once a tanner of hides in London who had an idea. And out of the idea he built upa fashion, and from the fashion he drew a fortune.

This is how he did it: After the hides in his finishing room had been trimmed for the trade there was always a great pile of strips and scraps left over, some of them quite large enough to be made into a man’s shoe. - Before that time tan- ners had sold these odds and ends for pump-washers, harness rosettes and what not, and the price that they received hardly paid the cost of loading them into freight wagons. But one tanner was not satisfied with that way of doing business.

“TD make shoes of these scraps,’’ he said.

‘‘But you can’t,’’ chimed all the wise tanners who knew him. ‘The leather won't take black dressing—it‘s too seamy and porous.’’

“Then l’. make yellow shoes,’’ said he. ¢

The wise tanners all held up their hands and shook their heads sagely. A bright man was going astray.

But the tanner reasoned that because men had worn black shoes for no one knew how long was no reason why they wouldn’t wear yellow shoes.

‘““So I'll make yellow shoes,’’ he said again. And that was his idea,

Then he went to work on the scraps, and it wasn’t long before his yellow shoes were associating with the monocle and separated from it only by the stature of an aristocrat. That was only a little more than half a dozen years ago, but to- day the russet shoe is known ali over the world. Seraps have long ceased to be used in its manufacture, and whole hides, the best that can be obtained, are none too good,

Catholics in the United States, According to the statistics of the Roman Catholic church in the United States, as furnished by the official Catholic Direc- tory, the membership of the church in this country inereased 175,832 in 1894. The figures were furnished by the chan- collors of the various dioceses throughout the land.

They show that the Catholic population of the United States is 9 077,856. In the whole country there are seyenteen Arch- bishops, seventy-five Bishops, 10,053 priests, 6,659 churches with resident pas- tors, 3,650 missions with churches, mak- ing 9,309 churches in all; 5,1 stations and chapels, nine universities, twenty- eight seminaries for secular students, with 2,129 students, seventy-seven semin- aries of the religious orders, such as Jesu- its, Franciscans, etc,, with 1,474 students; 182 high schools for boys, 609 high schools for girls, 3,731 parochial schools, with 775,070 pupils; 239 orphan asylums, shel- tering 30,567 orphans, and 821 charitablo institutions. The total number of child- ren in Catholic institutions is 918,207,

The figures, compared with the figures for the previous year, show the following increases: Priests, 286; churches, 580; universities, 1; secular seminaries, 3; regular seminaries, 16; children attending

rochial schools, 10,000; charitable in stitutions, 68; children cared for in char- ftable institutions, 6,685.—Buffalo Kx-

ROTECTION from the grip, pneumonia, diphtheria, fever and epidemics is given by Hood’s Sarsapa-

rilla. Itmakes PURE BLOOD.

In Italy in the last ten years 947 duels have been fought over newspaper articles; 730 <n account of rivalry in love; 377 for polical differences; 289 for insulting words; and the smallest number, 19, for disputes at cards, According to the figures, jour- nalists are most apt to fight, and actors least of those who fought at all, but there

soberest man in the company. It is easy for a prosy speaker to work off moss-cov- ered anecdotes upon an intellectual con- dition of this kind. And it is still easier for the victims of the evening to sing ‘For he’s a jolly good fellow,’’ whether they really thinkshe is or not. But now- adays intemperance, even at banquets, is distinctly unfashionable. The many Wines are tasted more than they are drunk. The quality is praised, while the man Who ‘‘goes in’’ for mere quantity is set down as a vulgarian. There are ex- ceptions, of course, and there are many dinners which end in mental fog and physical uncertainty, But the great ma- jority of the banquets are sober affairs, and the post-prandial orator finds be- fore him a hundred or more of clean, keen and intelligent faces that measure him at his own height, and do not magnify his size or his words through an alcoholic at- mosphere. The increase of sobriety, therefore, distinctly threatens to bring after-dinner speaking down to a practical basis on which a bore will be recognized as a bore and a plagiarist as a plagiarist. At best a banquet is a tiresome experi- ence for the average citizen, and if the people who support banquets should make up their minds to revolt, what is to be- come of the numerous gentlemen who are assured in their own minds that they are very happy as after-dinner speakers, but who sometimes fail to prove the facts to those who hear them? A mania of this kind is practically incurable. Heretofore it has existed upon the good-natured tolerance of friendship, and in years to come, as there may be & necessity of finding a way to handle it, there will doubtless arise a post-prandial audience agency, which will supply on short notice to orators of this kind a brilliant and ap- preciative assemblage, who will applaud at the right time and with the fervor of real enthusiasm.

There is another thing. The really brilliant post-prandial speakers are be- sieged with applications all through the year. There are so few of the really good ones in proportion to the demand that they cannot begin to accept a third of the invitations that are extended to them. Now, all this means work, and the men who are worth listening to are gen- erally men who work hard in their pro- fession or in their business. More than one of them has sacrificed « part of his life fer after-dinner speeches, which at best could only be fleeting in their inter- est and results. The dinner with us has not yet come to an occasion for the promulgation of fraportant principles of policies. The speeches are most success- ful when most fragmentary; but the strain is there just the same. As the world grows older every leading business man becomes more engrossed in his par- ticular work. We have not yet succeeded in cultivating leisure. But among the men who bear the honors in the different walks are many who begin to see that they must conserve their energies, and that they have yet to learn that sitting six hours at 4 table and eating and drink- ing a lot of things which the human stomach does not especially want is a poor way to take care of health. Perhaps these gentlemen may revolt from ban- quets and leave the field to the great army of mediocrities, who mean well, but who do not love their fellow-men as much as they should. Perhaps there may be a way out of the difficulty through the phono, graph and the kinetoscope, but that haa yet to be developed. It is certain that the ziving of banquets will go on, and that there will be need for speech-making. We must look at the question fairly, and then do what we can to reform it, The first great step should be for the listeners to put down the stupid orator, and the next great step should be for the bright orator to avoid the stupid listeners.

Mr. Pickwick’s pleasant incident of find. ing the stone at Cobham, with the Bill Stumps inscription, was, I have always suspected, an actual incident that occurred during the year 1836 or 1837, He says, in- decd, that it was submitted to the Royal Antiquarian society—or Society of Anti- quaries. One of the same kind was de- scribed in Secott’s ‘‘Antiquary,’’ where Edie Ochiltree explains the mystery of the letters. It is, however, & ‘‘common form’’ of jest, and we find an instance jn the memoirs of Bachaumont, which Dickens may have seen. There was once dug up in the quarries of Belleville, near Paris, a stone with these letters:

It was taken tc the Academicians, who could make nothing of it. Savante were consulted without result. At last the beadle of Montmartre chanced to see it, and at once read it off, ‘‘Ici le chemin des anes’’—that is, the path for the don- keys whv carried away the sacks of plaster from the quarries.—Gentlemen’s Maga- zine. ——___—»_.oa——

An interesting survivor of Waterloo is Victor Baillot, who was born at Percey, in the Department of the Youve, and is now in his 103rd year. He was enrolled in the Grand Army, and went through the Prus- sian campaign under Marshal Davoust, Due d’Auerstadt. At Waterloo Baillot re- ceived a deep sabre cut in the head, was taken a prisoner aud sent to Plymouth. On returning to France, in 1816, he was finally discharged from the army, the doc- tors having declared that he wasec tive. He has-a_ vivid recolk Waterloo, and is remarkably sturd

picked up in Spain, France and Italy at very low prices, and are regarded by the discriminating collector as a unique and attractive ornament. In using them as lambrequins or doorway drapings, breadths of soft silk of a con- trasting or harmonizing hue are drawn through the openings made in the robes for head and arms, an arrangement which adds a pleasing grace to the rather stiff lines of the splendid pieces.

A London paper teli a story illustrat- ing Queen Victoria’s well-known strict- ness in the matter of precedence. As she was about to take a train with the Empress Frederick at Paddington sta- tion recently, she reached the door of her saloon carriage first ; she drew back at once, however, and motioned the empress to go in before her. The em- press protested, and for a few seconds there was a little argument Petween mother and daughter as to which should have precedence, and the queen laugh- ingly insisting, the empress finally en- tered before her mother. This was a striking example of the Queen’s puncti- liousness in observing the rank of her daughter and guest. Concerning the matter of precedence, it seems a little odd that the Duchess of York, who is the mother of the probable future ruler of England, is yet quite low in the ranks at court. The Queen’s daughters and daughters-in-law all have precedence of her, and, according to Truth, her place at a drawing-room is between the Duchess of Albany and the Duchess of Teck. One wonders, if her son shall reach the throne, whether her rank will be raise‘.
