FIVE WAYS. Different Modes of Electing a Pope. There are flue ways by which a pope may be elected. First, by’ compromise—i. e., when the cardinals 1 appoint a committee of themselves with power to name the pope. Second, by inspiration—i. e., when a body of cardinals put themselves to shout: “The Jesuit Cardinal is Pope!’’ or “The Cardinal of Wetsminister is Pope!’’ by which method other voices are attracted and the minimum majority of two thirds plus one attained. Third by adoration—i. e., when a minimum majority of two thirds plus one of cardinals go spontaneously to adore a certain cardinal of their cillege. Fourth by scrutiny—i. e., when each cardinal records a vote in writing secretly. A pope is rarely found by scrutiny. Fifth ,by accession—i. e., when the scrutiny having failed to give the minimum majority of two thirds plus one to any’ cardinal the opponents of him whose tally is highest shall accede to him. The first three ways are obsolete, and these two—scrutiny and accession — alone need be considered. Blank voting papers are handed to the cardinals. Each voting paper is a palm in length and half palm in breadth. Each cardinal in turn takes his folded voting paper between the thumb and index finger of his ringed right hand, holding it aloft in view of all. So, and alone, he goes to the altar, makes his genuflexion on the lowest step; on the highest step he swears his oath aloud that his vote is free. POSTPONED.

A north Missouri editor received a note the other day telling him that one of his subscribers was dead and asking that his paper be discontinued. A few days later the editor met the "deceased” subscriber on the street and told him about the note. "I wrote that note myself,” returned the subscriber. "What for?” asked the editor. "Well. I wanted to stop yer paper,” said the subscriber candidly, "an 1 , knowlii’ how bad you need the money. I didn't have the heart to come right | out an' do ft. So 1 Jes' wrote you the ' note about bein’ dead. You wouldn't send a paper to a corpse, would you?” —Kansas City Star. An Odd Bequmt, The following is one of the oddest bequests ever recorded in a last testa meat, it appeared in the will of a Bristol mariner proved in 1795. The old gentleman ordered his executors to , “pay out of the first moneys collected, to my beloved wife, if living. 1 shilling. which I have given as a token of my love, that she may buy hazelnuts, as I know that she is better pleased with cracking them than she is with mending the holes in her stockings.” Wants and Wiebes. "There's a strange man ut the door, sir,” announced the new servant from Boston. “What does he want?” asked the' master of the house impatiently. "Begging your pardon, sir.” replied tlie servant, a shade of disapproval manifest In bis voice, "he wants a bath,' but wlint he is asking for is something to eat.”—Syracuse Herald.

THE CHINESE CARPENTER. Ills Method of Mendlnir n Hole In a Floor Amaied a Caucasian. "Did you ever get a Chinese carpenter to stop up a hole in the floor?” asked one flat dweller of another. The other bad to admit that he had not Then the first proceeded to tell his wonderful tale, which the listener would not believe until be tried an oriental for the same purpose the next month. "There was a worn place in the floor that needed patching, and I thought I’d show my wife what a carpenter I was. so I sawed a square section of the planks out. But I cut my hand the first minute and had to send for the Chinaman who has a shop right around the corner. When he got to the door lie grunted something that sounded as if it might mean ’Where?' and 1 pointed to the square bole over in a dark corner. “ ‘Wow,’ be said as he squinted at it a minute. Then lie turned around and walked out. 1 thought- well. I didn’t know what to think. I was so amazed. I couldn’t understand his giving up ' such a simple job. I was still puzzling over it half an hour later when I heard a knock. He said ’Wow,’ or some other - word like it. and held up a square ' board. Thon he walked over to the dark corner of the room and—what do ! you think? He put the square in. and it fitted just as if it had grown there. And he had just taken a peep at the hole from where he was standing in the door.” The flat dweller's tale is no fairy i story. That’s the way a Chinese carpenter stops a hole in the floor.—NewYork Times. Smoke Farthings. Smoke farthings were offerings paid In olden days in England at Whitsuntide to the priest, according to the num tier of chimneys in the parish. Sometimes these dues were demanded by the bishop of the diocese, as an old manuscript records: “The bishop of Elie hath out of everie parish in Cambridgeshire a certain tribute called smoke farthings, which the church- I | wardens do levie according to the num- | her of chimneys that be in a parish.” We learn from Notes and Queries I that I’eter’s pence or smoke money : was still paid at the end of the six I teentb century in many English par- I ishes. Similar to this was a chimney tax levied from time to time to raise funds. | 1 This was most obnoxious to the people, and Pepys in bls diary notes. "Much ' clamor against chimney money, and the people say they will not pay it without force.” It was abolished in I I the reigu of William and Mary. An Auction Incident. A Japanese vase had been brought forward, and a German In the crowd offered $2. A second bid not being heard the vase was withdrawn, the i ' auctioneer stating that he could not 1 sell on one bid. “Now. ladles and gentlemen,” the ‘ I auctioneer cried out. spreading a large \ rug on tlie floor, “here is a piece of | goods wortli SOO. Do I bear SSO? Do i 1 hear $40?” I “Ten dollars,” shouted the German I who had bld on the vase. "Ten dollars—gone! Sold to my friend there.” the auctioneer replied, jotting down the price on a pad. “Hold on a minute.” cried out the purchaser, "you can't sell on run pid.” “Oh. that's optional with the auctioneer.” atammered out tlie former. "Veil, den,” the German called back, with a parting nod, "keep your rug if its obtlonal on a rug und unobtional on a vase.”—Now York I’ost. Au Some Other. Do. “They say,” said Willie’s mother es I they were watching tlie "armless wonder" wind Ills watch, write his name I and do other remarkable things with his toes, "that he can piny the piano, I j but I don't see how.” “That’s easy, mamma.” replied Wil- i He.
