The Remains of St. Catherine of Bologua
Still Endure Intact.
Chambers’ celebrated woik ou miracles,
wonders, general oddities respecting man,
curiosities of vegetable aud animal life,
etc., which is arranged as a sort of calen­
dar and given the very inappropriate title
of “The Book of Days,” has, through
some odd mischance, entirely neglected to
mention the miracle of tlie preservation of
the relics of St. Catherine. The wonder­
ful story has been a theme of discussion
among church folks the world over fur 206
or 300 years, yet the above mentioned
work, which purports to give an account
of everything out of the ordinary, whether
vouched for or only reported, has entirely
ignored the marvelous narrative, not even
remotely alluding to it.
ThaSt. Catherineiu question was known
in lifoas well as alter her death as "St.
Catherine of Bologna.” Her remains are
low enshrined iu a church bearing her
uame ill the city mentioned above, the
relics having remained iu their present
position for upw ard of 300 years. She sits
bolt upright in a chidr, her features and
form somewhat shrunken, the skin of the
face and bands badly discolored—in fact,
almost black—yet her mortal remains are
not in the least decayed, it appearing, even
to the unbeliever, tbat the fates Lave de­
cided to keep her holy body uncorrupted
and her form intact until the great day of
reckoning. The editor of this article is
not a Catholic, nor yet the son of a C’ath
olie, and was never to his knowledge with­
in the walls of a church belonging to that
great denomination. Yet facts are facts,
and as such are deserving of record, espe­
cially in a department of this character,
which is entirely given lip to discussing
the itiiiisiial and unnatural sides of every­
thing. The accommodating priest in at­
tendance at the shrine of St. Catherine
will, if requested, expose the arm of the
mummified saint to the elbow, and mov­
ing it back and forth prove to yuur won­
der and astonishment that the joints are
as flexible as they Were when the good
woman trod the streets of the ancient Ital­
ian cities 800 years ago. When Piux IX
was pupe, be frequently visited the shrine
of St. Catherine, and while making such
visits never failed to say mass while in the
presence of the miraculously preserved re­
mains. On one occasion, while testing the
flexibility of her joints, he raised her hand
to the level of her load, then replacing it
in her lap remarked, "Fui uiinis audax”

A Family of Wild lloara.
YToung wild bears are far prettier than
might be expected from the rather forbid­
ding appearance of their parents. Their
bodies are slim and elegant, their snouts
fine, their ears short and their legsand
feet almost as finely shaped us those of a
young antelope. Their color is u bright
fawn or a rich tan, with longitudinal
stripes like those on a tabby kitten, and in
place of the thick bristles of the older pigs
their bodies are covered with a long and
thick coat of rough hair. Family life in
the wild boars’ quarters is harmonious
and amusing. For the first month the lit­
tle orange striped pigs depend on their
mother for food and take no notice either
of visitors or each other.
Each roams about by itself in the most
independent fashion or drops down to
sleep on its stomach, with its legs stretched
straight out before and behind, like a
Reeling elephant in miniature. Later,
when they have to be satisfied with the
food provided in the troughs, they become
the most amusing and importunate beg­
gars in the Zoo, the old sow and boar set
ting the example, well supported by the
little pigs.
The whole family stand up­
right ou their bind legs in a row, like her­
aldic pigs supporting a coat of arms, with
their fore feet against the rails, and
squeak, grunt and even climb the wire
netting for contributions.— London Spec­
tator.
A Word to Young Men.
One of the meanest things a young man
can do is to monopolize the time and at­
tention of a young girl for ts year or raore
without any definite object and to lhe ex­
clusion of other gentlemen, who, suppos­
ing him to have matrimonial intentions,
absent themselves from her society. This
selfish, “dog in the manger” way of pro­
ceeding should be discountenanced aud
forbidden by all parents and guardians.
Ir prevents the reception of eligible of
fers of marriage and fastens upon the
youug lady, when the acquaintance is
finally dissolved, the unenviable and un­
merited appellation of “flirt.”
Let all your dealings with women,
young man, be frank, honest and nuble.
That many whose education and position

ter things are culpably criminal ou these

George Eliot’s Face.
Au English woman writer says it is to
be feared that posterity will never know
exactly what was the living aspect of
George Eliot’s face.
Ouly a very great
painter could have seized at once the out­
line aud something of the varying expres­
sion, and her reluctance to have her por-
trait taken, her piivate person made to a
certain extent public propetry in that way,
has deprived us of any such memorial.
Future generations will Lave to draw on
their imagination to conceive a face, cast in
the massive mold of Savonarola, but spare
and spiritualized into a closer brotherhood
with the other Florentine of the Ditina
Commedia.
The features might be too
large and rugged for womanly beauty, but
when the pale face was tiuged with a faint
hush of tenderness or animation, when the
wonderful eyes were lighted up with eager
passion and the mouth melted into curves
of unutterable sweetness, the soul itself
seemed to shiue through its framework
with a radiance of almost unearthly pow­
er, so that a stranger seeing her for the
first time asked why he had never been
told she was so beautiful.
A Bit of Chalk.
Did you ever microscopically examiue
a tiny bit of powder scraped from a piece
of common chalk? “If you never did,” as
the philosopher told the boatman in the oft
reprated story, “you have lost at least one-
th d of your life. ” Not one person in
10,000 has the least idea of the number
and curious form* of the minute shells
that can thus be brought into plain view.
The largest of these shells is not more than
the one three-thousandths of an inch in
length, yet they are as perfect asthepearly
titans of the beach that axe large enough
to hold a half gallon of water and which,
when empty, roar like a cyclone. Some
are shaped like squids and cuttlefishes,
others like "sand dollars” or sea urchins,
but by far the larger majority will remind
you of sea shells that you have seen at one
time or another. One very common form
of these infinitesimal structures is shaped
exactly like the common conch shell, but
it has been estimated that at the least cal­
culation it is 2,000,1*60 times smaller.
A careful examination of different sam­
ples of any one specimen of chalk will gen­
erally show that there are from 806 to 560
species of minute shells in every conceiva­
ble shape and form, the very niinutest
specks among them being as curiously and
wonderou.sly made as those of larger cali­
ber.—St. Louis Republic.

DININ 1 CARS ON OGDEN ROUTE.
What the Passengers on a Michigan lioiid
Saw and Heard.
Coming over on the Michigan Central a
tall, line appearing man and a handsome­
ly dressed, relined looking woman were
seated just in front of a plainly dressed,
sweet faced old lady about 70 years old.
Every little while the mau would turn
ami address a remark to the elder woman,
and her eyes would glow with pride, for
he was her sou, and though his wife did
not seem overcordial—perhaps she was
not proud of the old lady—yet she would
deign to drop a word or two once iu
awhile.
Finally the son turned, as the porter in­
formed him of the dining car in the rear,
and said: “Well, mother, Emma and 1
will go now and get our dinner. Y’ou
know she needs a good warm dinner. Y’ou
have brought youi- lunch, I see. I will
send you in a good cup of hot tea.” And
the couple rose and passed into the dining
car.
Aftei' they had left, “mother” sat look­
ing out of the window afid appeared to be
deep in thought; not overbappy perhaps.
Finally she reached under the seat and
brought up the little woruout black bas­
ket “son” Lad noticed and held it ou her
lap, fingering the ribbon it was tied with
in a thoughtful way. Just as »lie opened
it the train stopped at a station. The door
was »uddeuly flung open, aud a cheery
faced, handsome blond stepped iu. lie
appeareil to be looking eagerly for some
one.
Finally his glance fell on the little old
lady.
"Mother!” he cried ilia delighted voice.
“My John; my John!” And the two
were clasped in a loving embrace bo genu­
ine as to cause tears to rise in the eyes of
one of the passengers, aud the rest looked
on in an interested manner.
“Where are Frank and Emma?” he in­
quired.
“They have gone into the dining car.
Emma isn’t well, you know, and Las to
have a good, hot dinner.” She repeated
this in an apologetic way, for she saw a
look in John's eyes that she did not fail to
read, and Frank—was lie not her son too?
“But you didn’t wish any dinner, 1
suppose.” And his eyes fell on tlie little
basket. He saw it all at a glance, but be
must uot hurt his mother’s feelings thus.
“And are you not glad to see me? Are
you not surprised? 1 found I could join
you here instead of waiting until you got
to Chicago. And now tell me, dear heart,
isn’t this dear little basket the same one
that Frank and 1 took our lunch in to
school? 1 thought so,” as a smile rose <m
the faded sweet face.
“Well, I’m awfully hungry.
’Spose
we keep this for supper, anil you come
with me and eat a uice hot dinner. No;
no excuses. ’ ’
As they left the car they met the other
couple. “Halloo, JohnI Where did you
come from?” “How do you do, Emma?
“I cauie, Frank, just in time to see our
mother had a substantial meal.” And
they passed on.
When the passengers who beard and
saw it all arrived at Chicago, they saw a
handsome young man with a little black
basket hanging on his arm tenderly assist­
ing a sweet faced old lady through the
crowd. A carriage was ualled, and they
drove off. No one seemed to see anything
of the other couple.—Chicago Tribune.
They Rode I-'or One Fare.
Coming down town on a Fourth avenue
car. a woman got on with four small chil­
dren. The delay was noticeable because
the conductor had to help on the oldest
girl, then the boy with a squnro cap and
long curls, then another little girl aud
lastly the woman, who carried a child ap­
parently about 10 months old.
The young ones were all graded ill size
and were small tor their apparent ages.
The mother bestowed them about, some of
the men in the car getting up to make
room. The car jingled on down town, and
the people were beginning to forget about
it, when they heard the conductor say in a
voice of shrill astonishment as he looked
at the solitary and lone nickel inhishand:
“Is none of them over 8, mum?”
There was a modest murmur of disclaim
from the woman.
“Not one of them?”
She shook her head. The passengers took
an interest. She looked at them with an
earnest, honest gaze, that of a “praying
mother. ”
“Four children and not one of them over
3,” said the conductor sadly. But he rung
up the fare and went out on the back plat­
form. He counted on his fingers and mul­
tiplied and muttered, aud when the wom­
an got oft he was still mumbling and mul­
tiplying to himself.—New York World.
Prevention of Disease.
It is true that the verification of the
germ origin of disease has thrown very
little light on the subject of curing dis­
ease. The microbe evaded discovery until
the midday of science and seems able yet
to evade its enemies. But the discovery
has made the prevention of disease a cer­
tainty. The microbe can be prevented from
transportation and can be prevented from
germination in soil, air, w ater and organic
matter. The general publio, however, are
not yet ready to do this work. They do
not appreciate its importance or their priv­
ileges. No doubt the time will come when
the preventible diseases will be prevented,
and the necessity of cure w ill be supersed­
ed.—Dr. Leslie E. Keeley.

Trimming Lamps.
Trimming a lamp is now a science. As
someone says that the cake made by n
lady is always better than any other put
on the counters, so lamp trimming needs
hands of accuracy and refinement. Keep
cheese cloth squares for wiping off the
lamps.
The wicks should be trimmed
with the sharp edge of a visiting card or
with a poker heated redbot and passed
over the wrick. This last method is a lit­
tle troublesome. but it removes the charred
part evenly. Wicks used for a long time,
even when they do not become very short,
grow thick and are apt to give forth an
unpleasant odor. They should be removed
once a month at least. In duplex burners
one wick should be trimmed in the oppo
site direction from the other.
Round
wicks should be trimmed toward the cen­
ter. Burners should be wiped tree from
bits of charred wick and drops of oil ev­
ery day. Every now ami then they should

perfectly clean.
When they have been
used a long time, they- need replacing,—

Hospitals.
Hospitals, as we now understand the
term, are of modern growth. True it is,
as Mr. Burdett tells us in the historiial
section of “Hospitals and Asylums of the
World,” that iu tlie records of Egypt aud
ancient India we find allusions to institu­
tions that foreshadow the hospitals of later
times, ami even our asylums for sick an­
imals are borrowed from the east.

the city of Surat tells how Asoka, a king
who reigned in Gujerat in the third cen­

of hospitals in all his dominions aud

The Origin of Satin.
The discovery of the principle of the
manufacture of satin was a pure accident.
The word “satin,” which originally was
applied to all silk stuffs, has since the last
century been used to designate simply
those tissues which only present« lustrous
surfaoe. The discovery was made by a
silk weaver named Octavio Mai. During
n dull period of business one day he was
pacing before his loom, not knowing how
to give a new impulse to his trade.
As he passed the machine each time lie
pulled short threads from the warp, and
following an old habit put them into his
mouth and rolled them about, soon after
spitting them upon the floor. 1-ater he
discovered a little ball of silk upon the
floor of his shop aud was astonished at
the brilliancy of the threads. He repeated
the experiment and eventually employed
various mucilaginous preparations and
succeeded in giving satin to the world.—
