Great Strength of Spirit Housed
in the Pope's Frail Body.
The llaad of the Komen Cbnreh a. 8&
on Htate OecatalMia Great Mantal
Vigor and Ea (rente Physical
Weaknaaa.
In personal appearance Leo XIII.
has a marked resemblance to those
meager figures of saints, worn to a
shadow from a life of fasting; and as
ceticism, which Fra Angelico so loved
to delineate single figures with sol
emn faces full of profound thought or
deep devotional expression, standing
out against a background of brilliant
blue or bright fold. The pope seems
to have only sufficient body left to
house the spirit that longs to be at
rest. He was always more or less deli
cate, and, according to the Baltimore
Sun, one of the most cogent objections
he urged in the conclave against "his
being elected to the papacy, when it
became evident that the votes were
tending toward him, was that his deli
cate health would in a short time ren
der a new conclave necessary. He is,
perhaps, seen at his best during those
rrand, thongh infrequent ceremonies,
.vhich take place in St. Peter's, and at
.vhich he assists as the central figure.
When seated in the crimson, high
backed, sedia gestatoria, which is
borne ud bv lonrr poles resting on the
shoulders of eight bearers who are
clothed in crimson damask, he may be
said to look his best, as, with a slight
swaying motion, he is carried
along through the vast crowds.
By the sides of the chair, or sedia,
up near hfs head, are carried the
large fans (flabelli) of white peacock
feathers, which give such an air of
splendor to the spectacle; and held
over his head by eight poles, borne by
distinguished noblemen, is the canopy
of white and pearl-gray silk, whidh as
it moves in the sunlight shows chang
ing tints as varied and delicate as
those on a dove's breast. The pope,
seen on such an occasion, is waxy pale
in complexion. The great sign of life
and vigor is the brilliancy of his eyes,
which, with piercing glance, seem to
take in the whole vast crowd, and to
see and observe each individual face.
The heavy, huge tiara, which he wears
at such ceremonies, with its three
Towns studded with pearls, seems to
oppress him by its weight and bulk,
lis hand trembles with nervousness
or the burden of years as he lifts it up
from the superincumbent weight of
the great cope, which enwraps him
irom the shoulders to the feet, and ex
tends it to Mess the people as he
rasses. At audiences, which, with un
.vearying good nature, he still contin
ues to give, being seen closer, he
looks all his age, which is now reach
ing the close of his eighty-fourth year.
The constant surprise of those who Bee
him and hear him speak in that strong,
deep voice, with the slow and clear
enunciation for which he has always '
been distinguished, is that a man of
such age preserves ao well the bril-ifirt"T-
of mind fiir wlvidnes of mem
ory, the keenness of intellectual grasp
which were his characteristics from
his early years. However well he may
be served and assisted by the brilliant
minds around him, the acts he does
and the letters he issues and the ad- j
dresses and discourses he makes, are
wholly and solely the outcome of his
own mind and the result of his own in
tellectual onoratlons.
STORY OF MARK TWAIN.
Re Was Willing to Play Dog But Waated
the Parqulsttas.
A traveler now in town on a visit
heard a new story about Mark Twain
from an old Mississippi river pilot with
whom Mr. Clemens once worked for
awhile in a pilot house on that river,
says the New York Sun. It seems that
he came up in the pilot house carrying
an enormous and expensive black Ha
vana cigar which excited the envy of
the master pilot. "Where did you get
that cigar, Sam?" the pilot asked. "A
gentleman in the cabin gave it to me,"
said the budding humorist. "Well, do
you think you ought to keep that
cigar and I ought to go without it?"
the pilot asked,
"Now, look here," said Mark Twain,
"I know I am only your helper and I'm
willing to play dog to you. You can
throw sticks in the water and let me
jump in after 'em. I'll do whatever
you say, but" and here he drawled
in his peculiar way "I do think I
-night to hive wome perquisites."
STEEL BUTTONS.
The Witty Betort of an Italian Lady ol
Quality.
The prejudices in favor of nobility
are very strong in Italy, and though
family connections are prized m high
ly there, no man seems ashamed if he
has no family to boast In "(ilimpses
of Italian Society" the author says
that she was astonished to hear a well
bred clergyman say gravely to a friend,
also a man eminent for talents and
fortune:
"Yes, there is a grand invitation at
such a place to-night, but I don't go
because I am not a gentleman; and the
master desired I would let you know
that it was for no other reason that
you had not a card, too, my good
friend, for it is an invitation for none
but people of fashion, yon see."
At all this no one stares, no one
laughs; and it is accepted as the proper
thing.
A woman of quality, near whom I
tat at the fine ball Bragadin made In
lonor of the season, Inquired how I
lad passed the horning. I named
vcral churches I had looked into,
larticularly that which they esteem
teyond the rest as a . favorite work of
.'alladio, and called the Itedentore.
"You do very right," said she, "to
oolt at our churches, aR youhave none
i England, I know; but, then, you
tave so many other fine things, such
harming steel buttons, for example.''

A RICE ELEVATOR.
Haw Orleans Clalme the First Osi Ever
Breeted In the World.
What the New Orleans papers call
"the first rice elevator in the world"
has just been erected in that city, says
the Seattle Telegraph. The "plant"
consists of an elevator tower, into
which the grain is directed through a
movable chute from the loaded rail
road cars and from which it is trans
ferred by machinery to the bins and
barrels of the warehouse, the latter be
ing connected with the elevator tower
by a covered bridge. The rice, on reach
ing the summit of the tower, is spilled
out on a rubber belt some sixty feet in
length, running at a high rate of speed
between rollers inclined at an angle of
sixty degrees. These rollers are lo
cated at intervals of eight feet and
serve to keep the rubber belt curved in
such a manner that the rice is not
spilled while in transit. This belt
terminates just within the wall of the
warehouse, where the grain is received
la a hopper. At the bottom of this
hopper is an aperture opened by a trap
door, through which the rice is spilled
on to a screw conveyor traversing the
length of the second story of the ware
house and passing over a series of bins
designed to -receive the grain. By a
delicate arrangement of scales and
weights the rice is weighed while in
the hopper. At regular intervals rub
ber belts similar to the one running
from the elevator tower receive the
rice from the screw and carry it across
the bins. An ingenious contrivance
causes it to be dropped into the, recep
tacle when that receptacle is reached.
A single man can operate this apparatus
and thus control the movement of each
class of rice, till it is finally deposited
in its appropriate bin. Its travels are
by no means terminated at this point.
Six screw conveyors traverse the ceiling
of a lower story. Opening the trap
doors in the bottom of the bins on the
story above, the rice enters the spirals
of these machines and is borne across
the building and received upon another
rubber belt. This leads directly to the
milling department, where the husks
are stripped off and the grain pre
pared for the market. The capacity of
the elevator is estimated at about
eight hundred barrels per hour, which
is equivalent to twenty four hundred
bushels, or four loaded cars. The
warehouse can accommodate ninety
thousand bushels of grain,
MILLIONS IN "SILVER.
Philadelphia Mint Vault Opened After
Having Been Locked Three Vears.
The huge vault at the mint, known
as vault C, in which has been sealed up
for nearly four years 50,000,000 of
standard silver dollars, was opened a
few days ago, and the long and
laborious task of counting this big
amount of money was begun. As the
occasion was deemed one of impor
tance, says the Philadelphia Times,
there was observed some little formal
ity. Dr. Caleb Whitehead had come on
from Washington to represent the
mint bureau: Frank Sartori represented
Superintendent Townsend, and W. L.
Bosbyshell, Col. Bosbyshell's son, rep
resented the former superintendent.
William E. Morgan, United States
treasury examiner, was also present.
United States Treasurer' Daniel N.
Morgan, who, with his son, happened
to be in this city, and accompanied by
Maj. Worman, witnessed the breaking
of the seal and afterward made a tour
of inspection of the mint.
Maj. C. H. Town-end. cashier of the
mint, having been given the combina
tion of the vault, proceeded to open
the door. This was easily accomplished,
but when the inner door was readied
some difficulty was experienced, as
even after the combination lock was
manipulated the door refused to opn,
the bolts from long disuse sticking
fast.
This was soon overcome, however,
entrance was finally effected and the
assembled officials stepped within the
inclosure where lay piled ur millions.
On the inside door, fastened by sealing
wax, wat! a sheet of foolscap paper con
taining the statement that 8113,000,000
had been placed there on February 7,
1890, with Maj Meline, of the treasury;
B. F. Butler, of the mint bureau, and
James C. Eyster, of the mint, present,
and that, further, f 17,000,000 moro had
been sealed up on May 'id, 1891.
The vault emitted a damp, musty
odor when opened. Under the glare of
the electric light the great wealth of
stored silver was visible. There it lay
in bags just as it had been placed.
There were 50,000 bags, each contain
ing $1,000 in shining coin. These bags
were piled up one on top of the other,
the topmost almost reaching the
arched ceiling of the vault, nearly
nine feet high. The whole mass had
been arranged In different stacks.
The first stack was thirteen bags high
and eight across. Just in Jie rear of
this was a second stack, while still
further back loomed up a third. This,
though, represents only one section of
the vault. Altogether there are nine.
The weight of this great amount of
silver is 2,850,000 pounds avoirdupois,
and the tremendous pressure of the
upper bags upon the lower had caused
a number of the latter to burst, caus
ing their glistening contents to spread
out upon the floor.
An Karly Acco-int.
The following extract from the
World Encompassed more especially
I ears upon the points covered in the
inscription, giving an account of the
service held and making rucord of the
word of the very early American mis
sionary prayer: "Our generall, with his
companie, in the presence of those
strangers, fell to prayers; and by
signes, in lifting up our eyes and hands
to Heaven, signified unto them that
that od, whom we did serve, and
whom they ought to worship, was
above; beseeching God, if it were His
Tood pleasure, to open by some mcane
their blinded eyes, that they might in
iue time be called to the knowledge of
Him, the true and ever-living (iod, am
of Jesus Christ, whom He hath sent
the salvation of the Gentiles. In the
time of which praycrx, singing of
Psalm e, and reading of certaine chap
ters ef the Bible, they sate very attentively."
A DKEADEU GUEST.
European Courts Again to Be In
vaded b7 the Shah of Persia,
Hla Condnet on Former Visits So Shocked
Royal Society That It Held Its Hands
L'p In Unaffected Horror and
Consternation,
"The shah is coming againl Good
Lord, deliver us!" Such is the fervent
litany of the courts of Europe. For it
is announced that during the present
year Nasr-ed-Din, the king of kings,
will descend from the peacock throne
and make a tour of the chief capitals
of Europe as the guest of the sover
eigns thereof. To say that the ::ews
causes consternation is to put the case
too mildly. It is a reign of terror.
The coming of the shah will have much
political significance. Of that, accord
ing to the Pailadelphia Times, there is
no doubt. And merely on that score it
is perhaps well that he is to come. Af
fairs are in a bad way in Persia.
There is widespread discontent with
tho shah's rule, based chiefly on the al
legation that he is subservient to Euro
pean influences. Of this discontent
priests are the chief promoters. In
deed, the whole priesthood of the em
pire is hostile to the shah, and its hos
tility is scarcely disguised.
Certain it is, at any rate, that the
Russian government is in close sym
pathy and active alliance with the
Persian priests in their opposition to
the shah. And the chief object of Nasr-cd-Din's
approaching visit to Europe
is, first, to see what aid and comfort
he can got from England, Germany and
Austria for the maintenance of his
throne; and, second, failing that, to
make the best terms he can with Rus
sia. On these grounds alone there
would be no objection to his coming,
for England has set out to build a rail
road through Palestine and Syria to
India, or to the Persian gulf at the
least, and it is therefore highly desir
able to ge t on the closest possible terms
of friendship with the. shall. And that
end could far better be effected by hav
ing him come to England than by send
ing any number of ambassadors to him
at Teheran. The trouble is, however,
that he comes not merely as an impor
tant political personage, but as a most
offensive individual personage as well,
and it is in this latter capacity that he
haB literally stricken with dismay and
horror the courts of Europe, where his
last visitation is only too well remem
bered. His first visit to Europe was made in
1873 and his second in 1879. He came
again in 1889, and it was then observed
that his manners had not in the least
improved. He still insisted, for exam
ple, on throwing under the table his
plates and other dishes as fast as he
got through with their contents. Per
haps that is the approved Persian
table etiquette. But in a sumptuously
furnished European palace, with china
as fragile as eggshells and worth its
weight in gold, it is, to say the least,
rather trying. At his first dinner as
m ',,., Victoria. In 1RR0. it
is said, lie thus destroyed a thousand
dollars' worth of rare china, At all
subsequent meals a number of waiters
were kept standing close behind him
to snatch up his plates the moment he
seemed done with them, or at least to
take them from his hand before he
could throw them under the table.
Even despite these precautions he
broke several things and hit some of
the other guests on the feet and shins
with the dishes.
On one occasion the shah was seated
at the table next to one of the most
stately and dignified royal princesses of
Europe. lie was helped to some aspar
agus, cooked in a peculiarly delicious
manner. Picking up a stalk in his fin
gers, he sucked the end of it with evi
dent delight. Then turning to his fair
neighbor he exclaimed: "Bat ha! How
good it is!" and thrust the same stalk
into her mouth for her also to taste.
Nor was his conversation less em
barrassing than his table manners.
Talking with a nobleman of great dis
tinction, he suddenly asked:
"Is that your wife over there?"
"Yes, your majesty."
"Hut she is old and ugly. Why don't
you get rid of her and take a new one,
one of these young and pretty women?"
As he spoke in a toue perfectly audi
ble to the lady under discussion, and
indeed to most of the company in the
room, the sensation produced may best
be left to the imagination. Nor was
the scene less embarrassing when the
shah one evening approached one of
the royal princesses and began to pat
and pinch her plump shoulders, saying:
"Ah, you are the kind of woman I
like! You are not all bones! I will get
rid of one of my wives and take you in
her place!"
The shah is, however, as a matter of
fact, a particularly amiable and kind
hearted man. For this he has been
noted since his boyhood. It is a mat
ter of authentic record that the shah
on a certain occasion was about to set
forth on a tour through his dominions,
attended by all his court and a vast
retinue, all of whom were actually on
the road, when he found his pet oat
fast asleep on the identical fur mantle
which he wished to wear, whereupon
he sat him down to wait until puss
should of its own accord wake up and
leave its couch; and that not coming
to pass for some time, the court and
retinue were dismissed for the day and
the start postponed until the morrow,
when, be it observed, the shah's at
tendants took good care that no cat
again should use the mantle for a bed.
The first panorama, was exhibited la
Edinburgh by Robert Barker about
1788, by which he portrayed a view of
the city.

AGRICULTURE OF THE ANCIENTS
Grain and Vegetable. Kaleed by the Cliff
Dwellers.
In the wilds of Colorado and Arizona
are found extensive ruins of habita
tions, which, from having been bujlt
in the face of steep cliffs, have re
ceived the name of cliff dwellings.
These ruins, says the American Agri
culturist, have lately been explored by
scientists, and in them have been
found numerous human mummies.
These people were of ordinary stature,
well formed and had hair of a blonde
color, which goes to show that they
were not like the red Indians of the
present day. They , knew the art of
spinning and weaving, the making of
ornamental cooking utensils, and the
art of brick making. But what is of
still greater interest they raised corn,
cotton, beans, pumpkins, and other
vegetables. That these crops were
raised by them is indisputable, as I
have seen great quantities of each
that were taken in a dried state from
their dwellings. It is interesting to
note the great improvement in the
corn of the present day over that which
was raised by the cliff dwellers. The
corn of the latter was very small, both in
the kernel and in size of the ear. This
contrast goes to prove what a wonder
ful effect human selection and good
cultivation can produce on plant life.
There were found in these cliff dwell
ings robes made of feathers, also
blankets made of wool and cotton,
children's toys and orutches for tlie
use of some invalid. here these peo
ple came from is a question archroology
is not yet able to answer. Hut that
they were an agricutjiral people ad
mits of no doubt, and that they were
surrounded by hostile tribes is also
evident, as they were forced to take
refuge in their almost inaccessible
abodes on the steep cliffs.
DYEING WOOL AND SILK.
Pabrlaa of Both Materlala Colored In
Combination.
A writer in the Industrie Textile
describes an improved process for dye
ing wool and silk combinations, in
whieli the piece to be treated is pre
pared in a boiling neutral solution of
bichromate of soda, and rinsed, leaving
the wool fiber only charged with
chromic acid, and consequently in a
condition to fix basic amines by oxida
tion thus, the cloth being taken
through a solution of analine salt, the
silk becomes but slighdy stained
while . the wool fiber assumes an
emerald green color; a second bath of
neutral chromatic dyes the wool blue,
and does not affect the silk fiber; and
consecutive and repeated runs through
chromatic acid and d lute water lead
up to a black on the one and preserve
white on the other fiber; further if
nnphthylamine be taken in place of
analine, a combination of white and
blue, garnet, and other mode colors is
the result, and subsequently the silk
may be filled up with suitable dye.
Another improvement in this line is
that by whicli a superior fast black on
silk is obtained; the silk is first bot
tomed with Prussian blue, then mor
danted with tannic acid or catecheand
tin, and topped with alizarine, llnvo
purporine or antha-purpurine in a soap
bath; the color is much faster than a.

Washington Cities Dispute
Over a Mountain's Name.
faeoraa Hays It Is Tacoma and Seattle
Saya It Is Rainier, and Each City
Mtubbornly Adheres to Its
Own Opinion.
In the controversy over the name of
this mountain all the rivalry between
Tacoma and Seattle finds expression,
says a writer in Harper's Weekly. I
know of one Tacoma man who refused
to be introduced to a person whom he
had been most anxious to meet because
he happened to overhear the latter re
fer to Mount Rainier. In Seattle many
subscribers were once obtained to an
eastern magazine in which an article
on their city was to appear. It was
published and was as laudatory of
them as the most captious Seattleite
could desire, but not a copy was sold in
the city, nor would a subscriber allow
a copy to enter his house, because by
an unpardonable oversight the writer
had called the disputed mountain
"Tacoma." In the Seattle stationery
shops they keep slips of paper with
"Mount Rainier" neatly printed on
them for pasting over the "Mount
Tacoma" that sometimes appears on
maps they are obliged to sell. They
also carefully erase the words "Mount
Tacoma" from all souvenir photo
graphs bearing it that come into their
possession, and substitute "Mount
Rainier" before selling them. No doubt
these snine things are done in Tacoma,
only in reversed order. The Tacoma
man will explain with convincing earn
estness that Ta-ko-mah as the abor
iginal name of the mountain for cen-"
turies befc re the white settlement of
the country; that it is not only euphon
ious but beautifully poetical in its
meaning "the breast that nourishes."
"Surely," he will say, ."a most appro
priate name for a mountain whose
glaciul streams perpetually nourish
the plains at its feet. And who was
this Itainirr, anyhow? An Englishman
who not only never saw this country,
but was inimical to it nnd its institu
tions." When you repent this to your friend
In Seattle he will assume a fine ex
pression of mingled scorn and pity for
your credulity and exclaim: "That's
all bosh! Tacoma doesn't mean any
thing of t lie kind. The word simply
means mountain and nothing more.
As for tho name Rainier, it was given
by Vancouver, the first white man who
ever saw the mountain and who cer
tainly earned the right to name what
he discovered. It appears on his charts
of this region, and as all his nomen
clature has been adopted by the
United Suites coast survey, there is no
reason why an exception should be
made in this case. This silly row
about nothing is all poppycock, any
how. I, for one, am tired of it and
wish those fellows over there would
drop it. Rainier it is, and Rainier it
will bo for all time, even if we have to
go up and chisel the name on the
mountain side in letters a thousand
feet long " So lor lum who would
maintain friendly relations with both
camps it is well to remember that
"Tacoma" is tho countersign in Ta
coma and "Rainier" in Seattle, while
on neutral ground the subject of con
tention should be spoken of as "the
mountain," "tho beautiful mountain,"
"the disputed mountain" or "the Fuzl
harna of America." It has been sug
gested that the question might be set
tled by compromise and popular vote,
by submitting the combinations 'Ta
conier" and "Raicoma" to the people
of the two cities and calling for an ex
pression of preference from every man,
woman and schoolchlld in them. Out
siders are apparently quite willing,
for the sake of peace, to call the moun
tain by any name approved by the
cities. Hy this means a controversy to
which no other end seems possible
might happily be concluded.
The oldest Christian fan which is in
existence dates from the sixth century,
having belonged to Queen Theodclin
da, a princess who possessed a nail of
the holy cross, which afterward was
set in the iron crown of Lombardy. This
is preserved in the castle of Monza,
near Milan, und shown to the tourist
as a relic. This Is an interesting speci
