They Acquire the Housecleaning Mania, but Cure It by Heroic Measures. One evening McIntyre came home tired. with a sick head- ache, As he started to climb the five flisnts that led to the McIntyre flat his nostrils were assailed by a mingled scent of laundry soap, ammonta suds, fresh paint and flying dust. Having had no experience in such matters he did not shy, as a more seasoned householder would have done. When he reached his own door he found a mayic wand bad caused his pretty, home-like flat to vanish. In its place was a conglomerate mass that looked like a cavaliy charge seen in a flawed looking-glass. One had but to stand perfectly still in the midst of it to get all the sensations incident on a fit. From the centre of the chaos there arose and approached him a weird figure. It was Mrs. McIntyre. “Tt this,” mused McIntyre sadly, “is the wife whom I ‘once promised to honor and obey, she ts sadly changed since I saw her last. I read of this sort of thing in the papers to-day,” he went on, glancing ruefully about the room, ‘‘but I got the tmpression it happened at Martinique.” “We are cleaning house,” observed Mrs. McIntyre, with dignity. 4 “so I and they it You've evidently sent {t away to be cleaned t you back this sunny corner lot from pande- >» | monium in its place. If there's @ law in the land’—— “Please, dear,” she begged, “don't try to be silly. horrible enough as it #s, without that." “There's only one thing to do,” he pronounced, an idea coming to his rescue. Wading to his desk he sat down and wrote a dozen or so notes. They read as follows: Dear —: We are giving & hougecleaning party Tuesday eventng. ‘The guest who hite on the best and quickest plan for restoring the Mo- Intyre Fiat to its former appearence, and who carries out that plan, with or without help, wins the prise. “But what prize shall we give?’ asked Mrs. McIntyre, dubiously. “Our lifelong gratitude,” responded McIntyre. “You may observe I've addressed all these notes to the sort of cranks who will do three days’ work for the sake of any prize so long as it 19 at a party. In the mean time let's go to @ hotel to live.” A. P, TERHUNE. POPES OF HUMBLE BIRTH, Many of the Popes have sprung from low origin. Alexan- der V. (14%) was a beggar boy. Benedict XII, was the son of @ baker; Sixtus IV. (1(7l) was the son of a fisherman; Sixtus V. (1585), whose name was Felix Perrett!, was a pig driver at Montalto, and attracted the attention of @ Fran- clscan monk, who educated him, says the Chicago Record: Herald, He rose to be Bishop of Fermo, goon after to be Cardinal, and was then elevated to the Papal throne, and celebrated his reign by erecting many of the finest buildings in Rome. Nathamt¢ Hawthorne, writing of hie tomb in the grand old church of St. Maria Maggiore, says: “If anything can still the spectator t silence and ewaken him to great recollections it t# the monument of this astonishing man, who as @ child herded swine, and ae a man commanded kings and filled Roma with eo many works that from every side his name, like an echo, rings upon the traveller's ears.” Urban IV.

With his coming of age he assumes not merely the crown and scepter, but alt the full dress uniforms appropriate to hi aptain-General and Field Marshal, and will don the garb of man- hood, a frock coat and swallow tall, and the tall silk hat that caps this climax of attire.
