' A native Maori chieftain, the de scendant of cannibal kings, is now com pleting his medical education in Chi cago. Cannibalism ended in his tribe, he says, when Bishop Selwyn converted his grandfather; but he tells some stor ies of it which havea distinctly humor- . rous flavor. For instance: It is said that once a chief captured a missionary who was' anything but,.- a -toothsome morsel, as he was . old and thin and looked, as if his flesh would be tough. The missionary warned the chief that he would not make a good dinner, and polling up his trousers, cut a slice off the calf of his leg and offered it to the chief. The chief tasted it,- said he didn't, like it, and passed it to a sub chief. - The sub ' tasted it, made a wry face, and passed it on. The next man who took a bite of it spat it out. The missionary was released. '- After he had gone It was discovered., that he wore a cork leg. , . ' " Use of si Great Name.

Tho smallest sovereign state In Eu rope is the Holy See at Rome, which, by the Law of Guarantees, passed by the Italian Government in 1871, includes the Pope's Palace of the Vatican and the Vatican gardens, which are con nected with the palace by two separate extensions of the building. There are In addition, the Palace of the Lateran and the Castle of Gandolfo, the latter being considered the Pope's ; country house, though It has never been occu pied by him since the entry of the Ital ian troops into Rome. It will be well known that his Holiness, as a matter of prlsciple, and as a protest against the annexation of the Roman States to the Kingdom of Italy, never quits the nar row limits of the palace and garden still helonging to him. .The palace is an enormous rambling building of not par ticularly handsome structure, and of various styles, dating back in Its oldest portions only as far as the fifteenth cen tury.. It Is said to contain as. many as 1,100 apartments. Only a small portion Is reserved for the actual personal use of the Pope, the bulk of the accommo dation being given up to the offices of the many organizations he controls, to the residences' of Papal officials, and to the housing of the Papal guards. These latter consist of four bodies of men. Firstly, there is the Guardla Xo- blle, who as their name indicates are recruited from men of good birth and are practically a small cavalry force about fifty In. number. Then comes the celebrated Swiss Guard, recruited chiefly among . the German-speaking Swiss, but whose components must ab solutely be subjects - of Switzerland. This Swiss Guard has existed for some centuries. They wear ' uniforms de signed by Michael Angelo, and are about 100 in number. Then there are tho Palatine Guards, of which there are eighty, and a small number of gen darmes, so that the Pope has about him for his protection and for the safe keep ing of the glorious art treasures en shrined In the Vatican some 250 picked men. - - Of all these Papal solders none are so striking as the Swiss, whose appear ance Is a perfect feast to the eyes for form and color as they stand at the POPE'S SWISS GtTABDS. gateways to the Vatican. With , the greatest difficulty the writer managed to make a sketch of this guard, which gives a perfectly accurate representa tion of the remarkable uniform they wear, so striking in Its originality and splendid defiance of convention, that it Is typical of the genius of Michael An gelo. : In their ordinary everyday cos tume the Swiss wear a kind of muffin cap of black with a red band, but on Sundays they don a black and gold hel met, and on special feast days, or at times of rejoicing, this helmet Is sup plemented with a gigantic white plume. These three forms of headdress, how ever, are said to 'nave Deen oi much later invention than the rest of the uni form, as Michael Angelo intended the Guards to go bareheaded. - The uniform itself is yellow, black aDd red In color, the black Demg very Diacs, tne red a crimson scarlet, and the yellow a pure bright chrome. The stockings are striped black and yellow, and the shoes are black wlih large bows. The bay onet of the rifle is the old-fashioned long 8 word-bay onet, and not the short- stabbing knife which is now almost universally used. The drummers of this corps wear a similarly shaped tunic and breeches, but instead of being black, yellow and red, their uniform is red and white with red stockings. On great oc casions, when a helmet is worn at all. the men wear a white ruff around the neck, but this is absent in ordinary cos tume, and on occasions of state the rifles are . replaced by halberds. The great-coat, which is a modern Inven tion, of course, is a bluish gray with brass buttons and two large red tags on the front of the turned-down collar. The officers of this Guard have breech es of alternate scarlet and crimson, and a tunic of braided black. . The Dean and the Lunatic. Dean Stanley had great respect for presence of mind, and used with great delight to tell a story of presence of mind by which he liberated himself from a dangerous visitor. Since he was willing to see almost any one who asked for him, he once told his servant to usher into his study a gentleman who had called, and who happened to bear a name which was familiar to him. - ' ,' . When the gentleman appeared he proved to be an entire stranger. It was evident there bad been some mistake. This became still more evident when, advancing with an air of great excite ment, the gentleman exclaimed: "Sir, have a message to the Queen-from the Most High. . I beg that you deliver it Instantly." "In that case," said the dean, taking np his hat, "there is not a moment to be lost Let us go. at once." They went downstairs into the hall, and. opening the door, the dean requested his visitor to step out. No sooner had he done so than the dean shut the door behind the lunatic. Created a Departm-nt. . One .of Detroit's wealthiest men has a big farm out in the State and runs it on business principles, says the Free Press of that city. He has a nephew, with plenty of money, but no ambition. The uncle called this young man into the office and told him he would do well to get away for a time from his present associations. .r -t - "Why not go out to my farm for awhile and take charge of one of the departments?" - "Departments?"

Johnson, of Washington University. St. Louis, baa made some interesting tests of the behavior of iron or steel stirrups, as used for hang ing floor beams from brick walls, when exposed to fire, and find that under such circumstances, they soon become red-hot and then burn their way rap idly through the end of the beam, while at the same time they soften and bend down, the. result being that the beam drops out of its bearing In fifteen or twenty minutes after the fire reach es it Most architects arc careful to see that such supporting members are fireproofed with wire lath and plaster; but it may be well to call attention again to the imperative necessity for doing so.

Is there any possibility, for ex ample, that the necessary aeration of the blood goes on to an extent unprece dented In ordinary breathing, and that the supply of reserve air in the lung, not employed In ordinary respiration. may aid the experimenter? Dr. Francis H. Williams, of Boston, says that when it becomes customary to examine the chest with the X-rays, deaths from heart failure without pre vious warning will be less common. The rays not only enable the physi cian to determine the size of the heart but with their aid he can also follow its movements In health and disease, which has not before been possible. Such examinations are also useful In cases of incipient consumption. With proper precautions taken no harm need be feared from X-ray examination.
