The Pope by! ~ this route has gone to ninety-three. All the men in ifely: who at the time of his accession to the Papacy there sreat in war or statecraft or art, the Garibaldis tnd > Irlepis and Manzonis and Verdis, are dead. His ot, robust cardinals have mostly joined the great majority. ‘The man who most abased the physical and exalted the ‘spiritual has lived on beyond them all. \ Leo's life in its physical aspect alone, quite apart from the spiritual development which made him belov« ) by the entire Christian world, is of importance for 1 © example to mankind of the benefits of temperance an | moderation. “Nothing in excess;” the old Greek motib was hie golden text of longevity. Physical activity th > gbundance, but no strenuousness, no imprudences in the jnathe of athletics, An abetemious life at the table, A full but not a protracted day for the duties of his ede " place. The saving grace of this regimen revealed itse ‘fn the even companionship kept by mind and body tho | the last. As there was no premature dying at the top #0 there was no physical enfeeblement beyond that dpe: ‘with his years. Ms ‘At atime when the doctrine of the strenuous and the trong is cried from the housetops this life of sanity, an@ moderation will carry its lesson. ‘Death comes to the Pope finally by the wearing out - of ‘the physical organs from Jong-continued use. D! Rogpont is reported to have said yesterday: “The Pope’ ‘pulge reaches ninety pulsations a minute. Just caleulat ~ how many times it has pulsated in ninety-three years .and’ you understand that all hie organs must end by getting.sq ‘tired.that they will stop forever.” ‘Ninety’ times a minute, 5,400 an hour, 129,600 a day} 47804.000 a year, more than four billions in his lifetime | —n'faithtul organ! } ‘Xk taithtut organ, indeed, to the ordinary man, Holding Be against the assaults of tobacco and alcohol, | the impulses of joy and sorrow and fear, and{ “maintaining an even course under all the disturbing in-j fu brought to bear upon it.

J., to-day h is of interest as illustrating a new development utomobiling. A local magnate is setting out for 3 ley Lakes with a caravan of steam and gasoline Gyoah wagons in which his family and himself and such “of hip'hobsehold goods as (will be necessary are to be a we over 00 antlen of country roads to their des- pation in the woods. if years ago a private car would have been en- es ek fsyMiclent size \drawn and the care of trahsporting the party intrusted to rail-oad offictals, a we have a personally conducted excursion of a new swith papa as chauffeur-inechief, his daughter Ing the sécond car and the servants following {n the “car with the luggage. fe the Orange millionaire’s caravan {s moving on- @ traveller in moderate circumstances with a suf- at allowance of nickels can follow him closely by ey.

There the automobile will outspeed But while further progress is denied him he can back upon a trip hardly less enjoyable and one made possible for a very small outlay. "The country trolley comes near realizing the possi ' pilities of a poor man's automobile. AN ALMSHOUSE ‘ PRINCESS.” q It develops that a woman who died in the almshouse on Blackwell’s Island on July 3 was the great-grand- daughter of a New England Governor and once a court favorite in Europe, rich and petted. Her money left her, but her manner remaimed and she was “the princess” even in poverty. In thinking of this caso of destitution in old age one foels glad that the almshouse is now the “city home” and that in name at least the old suggestion of penury ‘and dependence is done away with. The visitor to “the sland,” if he makes even infrequent trips there, comes to bed many pathetic instances of fallen fortunes. He \ finds college graduates there, inmates from various ranks of Ife transferred from the city hospital and kept in “enforced idleness because of financial straits. He hears the confession of one or another that he will “dtsap- | pear” and on his next trip seeks in vain for the one who uttered the threat. Again he meets an inmate witn a) reoord of years of cheerful confinement in the institu- tion. It is a motley colony. Atny k, itssown POTS OF GOLD. They are still digging for the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Capt. James Brown, of Providence, has gone in search of a Tahitnn cave in which $50,000,000 in bullion and plate, veritable barrels of money, the ancient i treasure of Peru, was stowed away for safe-keeping. W. S. H. Haslip and his son, of Philadelphia, are on a quest for $10,000 in family plate and silver coin buried on an 4eland near Savannah. Henry HEndum is delving in the / eellar of an Arbuckle coffee mill in Brooklyn for Capt. Kidd's treasure, valued at $50,000,000, Is he not afraid t the Arbuckles have exhausted all the sources of alth there?

It @tamped this fact on hie brain: “Charles Sumner wan an aristocrat. We walked nine miles to hear him speak. Father always spoke of him as the Hon. Charles Sumner, so great was his rever- ence of the man, He enjoyed the speeci: | immeneely. 1 do not know whether I 4id or not. Father sat near, with the (ntention of rushing up and greeting him when he had finished, but the Hon. Charles was too quick for him. He had vanished, “Father said: ‘James, the Hon, Bum- ner is going to Milwaukee \o-morrow morning and we can ride with him a part of the way.’ He was in the draw- ing-room car when we got on the train, Father stepped up to him and said: “The Hon, Charies Sumner, I have read your speeches.

C, Brainerd, who is spending the summer in a Jersey village, was in town, yesterday and bold of a state of munict- pal affairs at his summer home, which puts the Mikado's Pooh Bah to shame. “The officers of Mayor, village oon- stable and local galoon-keeper,”’ he sald, ‘are heid by one man.

Its principal parts are a tin pan and a tall lamp chimney. Clore the small end of the chimney with a cork, Into which a rubber, bent glass or lead tube is tightly fitted; prop the chimney up in the pan with the emall tude pro- Jeoting over the rim, fill the chimney ywitin water and set the chimney craft afloat. You can produce a better imitation of |speed by using, Instead of the pan, a {little wooden boat of mora shipstape [model with the water tube projecting over the stern, but unless the vesscl is very bread of beam it will capsize. A water mill is made of the same lamp chimney, or another, with corks or plugs In both ends. Instead of one water tube it has two. three, four or more, going out Ike the spokes of a wheel snd bent at the end—all in the same direction, The chimney is set up- right between two pivots, which press against the upper and lower plugs, and fs filled with water through a hole tn the upper plug, which also serves to ad- mit air when the mill is turning, The only use of the top plug, In fact, is to give a point of support, and the vessel must be open to the air at the top. As the water flows out through the little tubes the mill turns in the opposite di rection, and If there fs not too much friction at the plvote it will soon be spinning rapidly. The water boat apd the water enill are examples of what; are called reaction machines. ‘The prin- ciple they illustrate is that, generally speaking, you cannot move anything without moving something else in tho opposite direction, fn both of these cases as the water is forced out in the direction of the water tube the boat or the part of the mill from which It flows 19 Griven tn the oppeaite direction. ‘Some of the Best Jokes of the Day.

XPERIENCE teaches thet when a woman loves hes E heart her head usvelly goes after it, No that this ts) @ purely feminine\charactertstic, ‘for It was not with- out reason that the ancints painted Cupid bind. “She ts @ woman, therefure to be won," said Shakespeare, and notwithstanding the aneipauion of woman and aed- ern development and educathon, with all they comprehend, the same may be naid of man\’ another woman to-day. In- deed, it would almost seem, im the light of every-day mar riages, that patient, persistent \/ooing, coupled with @ fair amount of devotion, pearionate ob otherwise, is sure to pre- vail with the great mefority of wanen. “If you cannot inspire a womam, with love of you,” says Colton, “fll her above the brim with love df herre@f; all that. runs.over will be yours.” Even if\love fafle to win love, which |» rarely the case, It producks tolerance, and few women but feel pity for the lovers in whose affection for: themselves they believe, even though th7y oannot ceturn it. The love of approbation, not to say \idmiration, aprings: perennial in the human breast, and, with! all deference to: teachers aid preachers, women wholly witht vanity rarely amount to much. A little of {t goes a long, way; like other waving salts, it ts best in moderation, but ta some extent it is not only useful, but neceusary. All of love iove and are pleased with the spontaneous affection shoa us by man, woman or child, Not many persons are wont to, repress even A worthless cur which attaches tiself to thom, saye Helen Oldfield in the Chicago Tribune. x Manly beauty has a strong attraction for matt. women. The professional man beauty receives as much ad\'lation aa) dues the professional woman beauty, although, be& ‘suse of Mrs. Grundy and her code, much of it ‘# anonymous) Good- looking actors, for example, are fairly persecuted by \ he at- tentions of foolish girls, who send them flowers, a indy, trinkets, and the like, and who write them letters se\tom read. Every popular aotor profits from the sale of hia p\'10- tographs, most of which are purchased by admiring wom\”. It {9 an open’ question whether manly atrength does na& Appeal to women as much or more than does manty beauty. To women of the better sort, women with strength of char-| acter themselves, !t undeniably does. Femininity in bird. beast and humanity has a passion for masculine strength Among ali animals the question of mates im setttled by com- bat, and the female ts the prize of the victor. Evolution has: not wholly eradicate this trait in the human species. As a rule, women like to be “bossed,” provided the bossing !s: done in the right way. Like St. Christopher in the mediaeval legend, they would fa'n be servant to the strongest, The iron hand, in the softest of velvet gloves, never fails to hold a willing captive, who nestles closely, delighting in the sense of love able both to cherish and protect. Still more does a woman like to feel thar he who is her slave, amenable to her every caprice, Is a master among men. If women turn a deaf ear to the representations of their friends and rela- tives na to a sultor’s depravity, they haye only themselves to blame for mlsery and disgrace. Still, there are exceptions, “A man," says Emerson, “Is hike @ bit of Labrador spar, which has no lustre as you turn it In your hand until you come to a particular angle; then it shows deep and beautiful colors.” In this Hes the mazic’ of the true wife She detects the vein of golden ore which is hidden to others. It is her pleasure and her pride to show her husband to others as she sees him, and many a success- ful man owes most of his success to the divine alchemy on the part of his wife. She is always ready to encourage him,’ to give him fresh confidence in his powers by her steadfas belief in them. Her affection often kindles the dormay ‘+ spark of intellectual life, oftener still she fans {t to a flarwe: and feeds it with fuel by her never-falling care. HOW GOLD NUGGETS GROW. Gold in its natural state, like many other products of thet earth, is an article of development, What Its original elo- ments ure Js still a matter of some speculation, but the fact has been demonstrated that a nugget of the precious meta! left in its original environments will gradually, though elow- ly, attract to itself minute particles of gold dust, and after- the lapse of years possess an added value. Gold ts known) to have grown on mine timbers which have long been im- mersed in mine water. In the Calfornia State Mining Bu- reau Museums there is a specimen of a plece of Jointed cap and post taken from the Comstock, where It had been under water for years, in which gold was formed in the joints and pores of the wood. Gold ts constantly being formed in rocks and veins and placers. Just what it Is that the baby gold formation feeds on to effect {ts growth {s not known; if {t were a new anil: wonderfully lucrative Industry might be born and all other kinds of farming save the growing of gold might tempo- rarlly be abandoned. HARD-WORKING HUMAN HEART. | one with an aptitude for statistics has been doing a. ing on the subject of the human heart and its: activities, The normal heart, it appears, beats about sev- | enty-five times 1 a minute, so that an hour's record would be something like 4.2% beats Supposing that a man lived to be fifty, his heart would jave beaten 1,892,160, times, If a son of this man, more, robust than his father, should fill out the scriptural allot- ment of three xcore years and ten, his heart-beats would number 2,649,021,000, says Harper's Weekly. It is easy to un- derstand, after such a computation, why this hard-working, servant of the human body so frequently wears out. ON THE EVENING WORLD PEDESTAL.
