jj HOW LEO SPENDS HIS DAYS.
The Great Cathollo Potentate Is Bus;
from Morning; to Might.
In summer, as in winter. Leo XITT. is
awakened at six bv a nrivatp Kprvnnt.
accordinsr to the North American Re
view, une pope pets up from bed un
aided, and also Tjerforms his fnilpt nn.
aided, except shaving. At seven he says
ms mass ana Hears a second mass cele
brated by one of the attendants. It
happens sometimes that the pope, hav
ing Deen troubled with sleeplessness,
gets up with a piece of Latin or Italian
poetry composed durincr the wakeful
hours. The breakfftst of the none con
sists of coffee, milk and bread without
butter. Soon after the ofdcinl roponfion
begins, except Tuesdays and Fridays,
wnicn are set apart lor the reception of
the diplomatic body. Cardinals, heads
of congregations, generals of monastic
orders, strangers "of distinction, are re
ceived later in the day. In winter, if
tne sun shines, the receptions are inter.
rupted for awhile for a walk or a drive
of half an hour in the Vatican gardens.
Leo AIll. dines at one o'clock in t.henlrl
Roman style. The dinner is composed
of a soup, eenerallv nato d'ltalie. n
roast, a vegetable, vcrv often fried no-
tatoes, and fruit. The only wine served
is old liortleaux.
The pope is vcrv not to rlance over
the journals at meal times. He dine
alone generally. An invitation to take
coffee and milk after the pope's mass is
considered a great honor. It has lately
been granted to the cx-grand duchess
of Tuscany, and to Princes ' Tlorcr-
hese, Aldobrandini. Altieri and Lud-
ovisi. In all cases the visitors sit at a
small table placed next to the pope's.
After dinner Leo XIII. takes a siesta
never lasting beyond tho hour. Then
follows a drive in the iielvedere gard
ens. At six o'clock, after OTftnt.inir
other audiences, ho takea a enn of
bouillon and a glass of Bordeaux. Even
ings are generally devoted to study and
writinor. Tho literarv. or mental, work
of the pope is really prodigious. He
preiers to dictate to Ins secretaries
from notes which arc prepared on a
number of small scraps of paper. These
scraps are afterward torn into a thou
sand fragments to prevent their being
saved, given away or sold as auto
graphs.
When there is urtrencv in the work
confided to one of the secretaries th
pope confines him in a room, suppliei
him with writing materials, and goe
away, putting in his pocket the key.
The prisoner, after two or three hours,
hears the key turning in the lock and
sees me goou pope come quietly in with
a bottle of excellent wine and a few
biscuits. After examining the work, the
august visitor says a few words te
stimulate the activity of the writer,
offers him the refreshments, and soot
leaves again, taking with him his bottls
and his biscuits.
When tho night work is 'over th
pope recites the rosary. Between haL
past ten and eleven o'clock he tastes a
cup of consomme, a bit of cold mea
saved from the dinner, and the usua.
glass of Bordeaux. The regular hotu
for retiring is eleven o'clock. The pop
diH-s not enjoy calm sleep, especially
when ho has over-fatigued himself dur
Ing the day, or when there are suddet
changes iu the weather.

the conscripts became too wary to be
caught in this trap. They had heard of
the trick and were on the lookout for
this remark, and when it was uttered
they made no sign of iutelli;jence.
Lately the French offlccrs have in
vented a new ''trap," the success of
which is a curious illustration of the in
grained courtesy, or at least the as
sumption of courtesy, on the part of the
Frenchmen of all classes. After the
"You go free" has failed to excite any
sign of understanding in the recruit's
face the command to go is shouted to
him. He starts out of the room, tho
door of which is held open by mechanical
means. , As he passes through it the
officer says: "You might at least shut
the door." This little unjust impeach
ment of the man's politeness is said in
nine cases out of ten of pretended deaf
ness to result iu a quick turn of the
man's head. He is then called back
and told that he has been found fit for
the service. .
CONTEMPT OF COURT.
Mow the Offense Waa Punished by a
Georgia Justice of the Peace.
"1 stopped at an out-of-the-way cabin in
Georgiu," said a tourist to the Arkansaw
Traveler, "to git er drink of water. 1
noticed a number of men, in short sleeves
and wearing bed-tick suspenders, sitting
under 11 tree. . They were gathered about a
pine table upon which I noticed several
volumes of patent-office reports. I did not
know that the assembly was one of solemn
ceremony until I asked for a- drink oi
water. Then a gaunt man with a long
neck and eyes that wore an expression ol
dead set looked up and said:
" 'Air you from sich a uncivilized country
that you don't know how to behave your
self when court is in sessionl'
"'Excuse me, I answered, 'I did nol
know that this was a court.'
" 'But it is, sah, and I want you to un
derstand it. You have come up here an'
throwd a chunk under the wheels of

fur his life.'
" 'You don't mean to say that this is a
court of such serious jurisdiction!'
" 'Yes, I do mean to say it and if you even
hint that I don't I'll send you to jail for eon
tempt.'
" 'Pardon me; I do not mean to be of

" 'May I ask why you are trying this

" 'Yes; he stole a set of plow gear.'
" 'But is that a capital offonsel'
V 'I don't know what sort of offense you
call a capital, but when a man steals gear in
this community why that settles it witr
him.'
" 'Pardon me, but that isn't law.'
" 'Mout not be in a uncivilized community

" 'Are you a circuit judge l

peace.'
" 'But under the law you have no author

" 'Ha, you dispute my authority! Mr.
Constable, arrest this man.'
"A man stepped forward and placed his
nana on my shoulder. 'You are under ar
rest,' said be. Try to git away, and I'll
hurt you."
"I saw, by the determined faces about
me, that I was in a serious predicament.

"I began to beg. I told them that I was
their friend. I said I would do any thing
for them.

said the judge, 'but what assurance can

NO EYES . FOR THE FEEBLE.
The Officious Car Conductor and the Ef
fect of His Unwelcome Attentions.
Any woman who is at all presentable
an'd not past her first youth knows the
officious conductor. She has met him
on shopping expeditions in the morning
and theater going in the evening, yet,
according to the Philadelphia Inquirer,
his demeanor does not change either
with the time of day or condition of the
weather. He is always so affable. He
really must hold on to you lest you fall
when getting off and give your arm a
protecting little squeeze when you are
getting on. He orders a place made for
you with an air of proprietorship that
is simply galling, and though you may
be unfeignedly thankful for the seat
thus obtained, you are in mortal fear
lest everybody in the car takes you for
his fiancee, his attentions are so marked.
He watches for your slightest nod to in
dicate your destination, and with a
most embarrassing show of homage will
order his passengers in a loud tone to
"make room for the lady to pass," and
when you are once off that car you give
a sigh of relief, yet cannot help feeling
even yet his offensively familiar looks,
for his attentions are not genuine.
This salaried Don Juan has no use for
elderly dames or feeble old men. They
can get on and off as best they can. He
makes no effort to secure a seat for any
one over thirty unless they show evi
dence of wealth in their attire. His
eye is attracted by pretty faces and
pretty gowns, and, taken all in all, he
is about as objectionable a character as
you are apt to meet in a day's ride, for
his services are rendered in such a way
you cannot openly resent them, yet in
your soul you feel humiliated by his of
fensively obliging offices.
BHOPAL'S PRINCESS RULER,
She Was a Remarkable Woman. Fierce.

Her highness Shah Jenan Begum, the
daughter of the late Sikander Begum,
the last ruler of Bhopal, iwas a remark
able woman in every sense of the word.
She reigned during the mutiny and gave
valuable help to the British govern
ment, especially In assisting Sir Henry
jjurana ana his party of fugitives in
escaping from the Indore residency.
She was also a fierce, strong and re
lentless woman and kept her daughter.
the present Begum, in a state of abject
submission. Once, when her daughter
met at the house of a relative a young
man of the royal house of Delhi, who
was a suitor for her hand, she impris
oned her for months in her own room
and beat her with her own hand, while
the unfortunate lover was confined in
an iron cage hung at the gate of the
fort and was only released after some
months on thepersKtertt remonstrance
of the British political ofllciala.
The present Begum Is now over fifty
years of age, very small in person, not
taller than an ordinary child ten years
of age; but she has inherited many of
the qualities and much of the ability,
aa well as the strong will, of her mother
and her attempts at ruling her daugh
ter with the severity with which she
was ruled has created a breach between
them, which has been widened by Inter

A JAPANESE ROMANCE.
The Love Story of Count Ito, Told by Sir
Edwin Arnold.
Of Count Ito, the distinguished Jap
anese statesman, Sir Edwin Arnold
gives us this interesting incident: "I
sat at the table with the ex-premier
and his wife and children. The
countess, quiet, gentle, motherly and
wearing spectacles, carving the tai and
the kamo with such matronly serenity
had yet a history of romance and de
votion which could make the wildest
fictionist's fortune.
"Long ago, in those dark and bloody
days when the minister was her lover
and a fugitive from his enemies, there
came a time when they had tracked
him to her house and had chosen a
band of Soshis to assassinate him. The
noise of their clogs and the rattling of
their scabbards were heard and the
count, trapped like a stag in his
mountain pleasance, drew his Bizen
blade and prepared to die, as a Jap
anese lord should, amid a circle of
foes. But while . he murmured
'Saganore!' and knitted his flngcra
around the shark skin hilt of his sword
that brave lady whose, guest I was
whispered: 'Do not die; there is hope
still,' upon which she removed the
hibachi, or firebox, over which they
were sitting, and, lifting up the mat
ting and planks beneath, induced her
lover to conceal himself in the hollow
space which exists under the floor of
all Japanese homes. The murderers
broke into the room, a ferocious band,
just as the firebox had been replaced
and the countess had assumed a posi
tion of nonchalance.
"They demanded their victim and
when she protested against their in
trusion and bade them search if they
wanted Ito, the wretches dragged her
around the apartment by her long,
beautiful black hair now timehed with
silver and grievously maltreated her,
but could not shake her resolute fideli
ty. Thanks to this Count Ito, the hero
of many another strange tulventure,
escaped from the chief peril of his
career and has lived to give his country
a new constitution and to be one of
the foremost and best respected states
men of modern Japan."

WHEN REPTILES RULED.
There Wa a Tim When the Globe Wa
In Their Possession.
There was a time "in the wide revolv
ing shades of centuries past" when the
globe was wholly in the possession of
walking, swimming and flying rep
tiles," says an exchange. Being the
dominant tjpej they divided naturally
into three great classes.
In the oceans they became gigantic,
paddlirtgennliosaurians; on dry land
or, rather, wet land, for the whole sur
face of the globe was doubtless a quag
mire at that time they became mon
strous, eree.t dinosaurians, some of
which had lege 15 feet or more In
length.
Those which Inhabited the regions of
tho air were the terrible flying ptero
dactyls. For a vast but unknown
length of time these awful creatures
literally ruled the earth. Then one by
one they died out In the face of the
younger and more vigorous fauna until
at the preaeint time only a few miniature
alligators and orocodilea, a few toy
snakes and skulking lizards and geckoa
remain aa reminders of the enormous
reptilian type that once crowded land
and sea.
The Modern Flat BaUdtn.
"You know, it'e old enough and fa
miliar enough," said a flat dweller.
"but it's striking all the same, to hear
the whistle blow In the kitchen, from
aomeliody in the cellar at the elevator,
and may be at the same time to hear
the liell ring from somebody at the
front door. The servant thrown up the
door to the elevator sluvft, to lie icady
to receive the tilings that the man U
ending up from below, and aha swing

oiiriis a door far away and in still an
other part of the house. All aimple
enough, but it Interval me nil tlr'
same. It seems eort of like running
the steamer from the bridge; or like
throwing I lie levers In the switch house
and controlling switelie far away; It
seeina like buaim-as; It's modern and up
to date.''

CARVED HIS OWN COFFIN.
An English Craftsman Puts HI Art to a
Strange (Jse.
A coffin yurn from England is this,
froni a Nottingham paper: "The hobby
of an old gentleman, Mho has just de
parted this life in Dudtlleetone, was
wood carving. Being of independent
means he was able to devote his time
to the craft and become a very artistic
craftsman. After filling his house with
hand-carved furniture lie turned his at
tention to the carving of an oaken
coffin, to contain his remains. Over
the richly-carved panels he spent much
loving care. In this coffin de, luxe he
was buried reoently, and in accordance
with minute instructions in his last will
and ' te-stameiit, was followed to the
grave by one mourner only a young
man to whom he had left the bulk of
his property, ignoring all of his rela
tives. The coffin was conveyed to the
churchyard in the old gentleman's pri
vate vehicle, drawn by his favorite
pony."
4 HARD SKULL SAVES HIM.
Mexican Receives a Volley of Ballet In
the Head and Live.
A Mexican was condemned to death
for stealing a can of kerosene, remarks
the Buffalo Express. He was taken out
by a party of soldiers, received a volley
of bullets at clone range, Snd was left
for dead. As soon as the soldiers had
gone he sprang to his feet and walked
to the City of Mexico, many miles away,
where he entered a hospital. The doc
tors found three rifle bullets imbedded
in his skull, but he was not fatally in
jured. Now the authorities of the town
which ordered him executed want him
back in order to shoot him again.
But he objects. He argues that if sub
jected to the discomfort of execution a
second time his heulth might be greatly
endangered. There is logie in that.
The man's plea ought to hold good.
It Is a serious menace to a man's health
to be taken out and shot, and the fel
low who survives the experience once
ihould be spared a second exposure,
in order that he may come to the state
and go the round of the muueums a
the man with tbe Iron skull.
Aaaiiy'l Aeeommodatlnf Lecture.
That satirical lecturer, the late David
R. Locke, better known as "Rev. Pe
troleum Vesuvius Nasby," had a device
by which he saved tlmo and brain. He
himself once confessed to us, wiys the
Kew York Sun, that when a lyceum
committee from any place culled upon
him to engage hii services, and atked
what he would lectu -e about, he al-
waya told tlicm to take their choice:
"Cursed Be Canaan," "Moses in the
Bulrushes," "Wisdom for Seekers," and
"Our Country Mono." "But," said
Nasby, confidentially, "I had only one
lecture all the time; aud whatever title
they liked best, they got the same old
thing; It suited any title, every place
and all occasions."
