A LABOR QUESTION.
The Ancestry of the Popes.
The popes Lave been drawn from all
classes of society. Nineteen were sons or
sear relatives of princes, and an equal num
ber came, from illustrious families. Many
came from absolute poverty and obscurity.
Sbctus VII was the son of a very poor fisher
man; Alexander V was tbe son of very poor
and unknown parents, the future pope
spending all of bis young life In befaring on
tbe streets. Adrian, the only English pope,
was abandoned early in life by a worthless
father and bod to subsist on charity until,
going as a tramp to find an asylum in
France, he entered a monastery or convent
as a servant. His real worth was soon
manifested in his diligence, and bis virtues
and intelligence soon won for him the papal
tiara, Sixtus V had for a father a poor
laborer, a common servant for a mother,
and a laundress of vicious habits for a sister.
Celestine V was the son of a farmer of no
means and little intelligence. Benedict XII
pent bis childhood in a bakeshop. Urban
IV learned the carpenter's trade from bis
lather, as did also Gregory VII. Fire of
tbe popes studied medicine before taking
holy orders, Julius III was the son of a fa
mous jurisconsult. Benedict XI was the
son of a poor notary. Tbe father of Pels
gius was a prefect and the vicar of his
province. The father of Paul V was a pa
trician of Sienna. Tbe fathers of Eugene
IV, Gregory XII and Alexander XII all be
longed to the patrician families of Venice.

The floating of these boats (for the word

a short journey tbey are recaptured and re

What Sleep Is.
It seems a somewhat startling fact that
at this late day philosophers should be dis
cussing the question, "What Is Sleepf"
and should announce entirely new views
and ideas on the subject.
The buman race bos been sleeping nearly
one-third of its time for the lost 100,000 or
00,000 years and has certainly had enough
experience with it, but It would seem that
we doaiot fully understand the mntter do
sot quite know what sleep is, bow itcomes
about or even its effect. Una thing, bow-
ever, Is now accepted as proved that the
condition of tbe blood vessels of the brain,
and Indeed of such tissue as tbe optic
disk, is an anromio one in sleep. As drowsi
ness comes on, the surfuce of tbe brain
grows paler in color, and the lack of red
blood is noticeable when such conditions
are observed.
Tbe theory of Dr. James Cappie of
Edinburgh and some other eminent scien
tist has been to tbe effect that the veins of
the pia mater, the inner membrane of the
skull, are capable of congesting and dis
persing comparatively large quantities of
blood; that congestion produces vertigo
and "senselessness" or stupor, and that the
dispersion of blood from the brain cellB
produces a slight compression on tbe sur
face of the bruin, and thus brings abodt
sleep. The bruin being less active, tbe cir
culation of the blood to tbe bruin is sup
posed by this theory to be diminished, and
as the blood In the brain cells bus passed
into the veins, the effect will be to cause a
alight yielding in the brnln and a pressure
upon it. New Orleans Times-Democrat.

It is one of the funniest ot silly spectacles
to get in a railroad cur on a turned seat

a dozen people will be chewing gum on the
sly that is, working their jaws very slowly
when they think no one is looking. Of
course most of tbem are girls and women.

Hulf way up we came to four cabins oc
cupied by miners. Three brawny men in
red fhlrts stood at the door of one of the
cabins talking as we filed post. Salutes
were exchanged, but we had no occasion to
halt.
We had gone about 300 feet and were
about to make a turn in the trail when I
baited to look buck. The guide was ahead
I came second. The liue of mules was
strung out for a quarter of a mile, and on
loot among them were five packers, all half
breeds.
I heard no signals of danger, no crvof
alarm. With the swiftness of thought the
snow, BOO feet up the mountain, began to
move. Tbe width of the avalanche was
about half a mile, and it moved very rapid

hundreds of trees, hundreds of great bowl

In a few moments it was all over, and a
cloud of what seemed smoke hung over the

two or three minutes, and I looked for our
pack train.
Not a man nor a mule hod escaped. I
looked for the cabins. They had disap

A Dream of the Twentieth Century Mute-
rla'lses In a Brooklyn Theater,
This really happened. It la tbe record
not of a vision ot the millennium, but of
fact. Tbe reporter who witnessed the iud
dent secured on tbe spot seven unassailable
witnesses, all of whom pinched one anoth
er, took drafts of fresh air, water aud
other fluids, viewed the phenomena from
all sides and points and generally took pre
cautions agalust deception and delusion.
The occurrence was lu Brooklyn, at the Co
lumbia theater, Friday evening. Before the
curtain rose the body of the house was hid
den by the usual array of monstrous mil
linery, the high bats with their furlwlows
hiding tbe stage from all who sat in or
chestra chairs, except the very foremost
seats, been from above the audience re
sembled a forest of cabbage pulnis. From
a level all vision was shut off.
Soon after the openinr of the rday thrco
styimn young women threaded their wav
along the middle row in the balcony aud
seated themselves in chalrsdlrectly in front
orine stage. A suppressed moan of an
guish spread behind them to the roar wall,
ior eacn wore a lolty bat tbat might well
reconcile one to tbe inconvenience of crino
lines by contrast. To those behind tbem
the stage was absolutely obscured. An un.
gallant man murmured in a hoarse whisper:
"A woman who'd wear a bat like that to
the theater would go to a funeral In pink
tights."
But soon as seated the middle one of the
three women turned a face that assumed a
heavenly expression, even beneath her ob
truding hat, and asked the man in the seat
behind who was muttering things:
"Is my bat in your wny at allf"
The man. completely upset at a question
so unexpected, stuttered something about,
"Not at all; don't mention it; er er"
The lady with him said something about "a
slight obstruction," but almost before she
bad spoken tbe girl with the immense bat
said:
"Well, I'll take it off any way."
This she did, and her two companions fol
lowed suit, while tbe audience forgot to
look at the play and arosned and tmzed at
the hatless girls. The example of their ac
tion produced a curious effect upon other
iuuics present, ah over tbe balcony flrst
one ana men anotber blK bat came off until
the balcony presented an array of beautiful,
bareheaded women. The stage disclosed
itself as a ship coming out of a fog, and n
wave oi nappy smiles sweot over the house.
ine reporter climbed to the familv circle
ana mere ooserveu a similarly nhenomenal
state of affairs. Fully a score of women sat
bareheaded and serene, with their big hats
in their laps. The same was true of the
parquet, and even one gorgeous girl in a
box tooK oti a stunning bat. If those wom
en only knew it and of course they did
tney contributed as much to the Dleasure
of the audience as did the players. If this
be not an Isolated instance, there can be no
question that Brooklyn, in one important
feature, is leading in the march of civiliza
tion. New York Sun.

How to Go I'p and Down Stairs.
If a girl wants to learn to occunv stairs
with a fuir amount of self possession, she
can do it. This is a cose where practice

To begin with, hold the body erect.
whether going up or down. Don't rrive an
imitation of a man with cramps. Hold the
body and shoulders In a line horizontal to
the flat of the steps. Then don't climb all
over. Most women use their elbows for
propellers or oars. They jerk themselves
up stairs by tbem. Hold the elbows well
down by your side tnd mount from the
knees. It is an art to acquire this, but once
gained it is a wonder how one persisted so
long in using every joint In the operation.
JJon't plant tbe entire foot with snuore
solidity. That is what injures the muscles
of the back and jars the body. In going
np stairs press tne nan oi tbe loot on the
tread of the stairs and secure a spring from
that to carry to the next tread. In comlne
aown, poise on one loot and land well for
ward on the ball and toe of the other foot.
And don't, for mercy's suke, toe in. Lift

An Astrological tsplunatlon.
There are first sight repulsion between
certain people for which there Is no ac
counting by any fixed rule. A enters a
ballroom or coffee room of a hotel for the
first time and see B. Neither had ever
seen the other before; neither knows any
thing ot one another. They are both well
dressed, respectable looking people, so that
no repugnance can possibly spring up on
either side on the score nf appearance, yet
in both their minds bus lodged adlsllke for
each other, such us can sometimes never be
wholly eradicated.
The new Haturnlan theory on this sub
ject is a little abstruse, but is equally ro
uiurkuble. These people are positives and
negatives, brought about through their be
ing born under different conditions of Sat
urn's light 1. e., the positives will be born
when the light Is shilling on the earth di
rect from the nucleus, the negutlves when
the light is shining through or being Inter
cepted by the ring. Astronomers will raise
their hands In pious horror at such simht-
stitlous teachings, but let the astronomer
shut himself up in his observatory and bo
lor tne nonce forgotten, while the reader
tests the mntter for himself.

Climate of (lie Forty-ninth rarulli l.
Did you ever hear of tho peculiar climate
of the -tilth parallel Signal mivUo men
tell some strange stories concerning it. In
tbe stretch of country north and northwest
of Bismarck, and from Fort Denton, Mun.,
to Pembina, N. D., is a belt of territory
about U0O miles long by l,r0 wide that may
well be called the land of maximums and
niiiiltnums If the records given bo correct.
When a cold wave prevails, this belt is
colder than anywhere else in that reiion.
and when it is warm this tract is wanner
than any where else. If the signal station
nt JSismnrck shows a temperature of 10, 15
or 20 degrees below zero, It is at least 10 or
15 degrees lower ulong t he parallel.
In July, 1881, when Ilismarck registered
103 degrees in thesbailc, it was 110 degrees
at the others. Asa mutter of course this
district shows the great est extremes of tem
perature. The mean range in that part of
the northwest is probably 150 degrees that
is greut enough but Pembina and Fort
Benton have recorded a range of Kill de
grees. On Dec. 20, 1880, the thermometer
stood at 69 degrees below zero nnd In July
of the following year at 110 degrees ubove,

A Satisfactory Experiment.

day.
"I do, sir."
"Any particular object."
"Of course. I'm out late o' nights, and
quite apt to run up against loafers. 1 don't
want to carry a revolver, but I do propose
to have some protection."
"You'd defend yourself, eh?"
"Certainly."
"Now, my friend, before you throw away
any money on boxing come over to the gym
nasium with me and make an experiment."
"What sort of one?"
"Let some one tap you on the nose and
see if yon have any sand left. I don't be
lieve you've got the grit to engage in a
fight, and I think you'd run after being
tapped." j
"You do, eh f Might as well call me a
coward. I'll go over with you right off." j

where "the boys" scrap occasionally, and
there was a scrapper there w ho said he'd
put on the mits to accommodate the gent,
lie did so, and at a proper moment he did
the "tapping" act with a left bander and
knocked the gent into the sawdust. The
