There gladiator slaves died for the "port of Horae, and wild bea"ts fought with wilder men. In that arena a (ialenian fisherman gave up his life as a sacrifice for his faith.

Taking all these points into consideration in favor of New' England, we can justly conclude that Father Toll u's visit among them in the interest of his people was highly .appreciated. He feels grateful to the Rex*, clergy an«l p o-ple for their sui)p«>rt and kindly offers to them the icehle measures of liis gralitu'le.

His Holiness Sends a Special Communication Relating to the World’s Fair. Chicago, July 25.—In a special communication to Mrs. Potter Palmer Pope Leo XIII. announces his desire to have Catholic women take a willing part in the efforts making to worthily represent at the World’s Fair the work women are doing, and the w'ork they have done in the past. It w'as in respoi se t«> a letter for-w'arded by Mrs. Palmer some time ago asking His Holiness to exert his inriiience and patronage in behalf of the board of lady managers which has uinlertaken to pro[)erly represent woman’s w'ork at the ^air.

The enormous anii rapid extension of tea cultivation in Ceylon and many parts of Imiia was, we know, the result of two special motive causes, the one lieinpr the dissatisfaction felt with the quality of the tea imported into this country from China, and the other the failure of the coffee enterprise ow-injr to the ravages of what was too familiarly known as the leaf disease (hemelcia vasta trix). ¿The quondam coffee planters faced their troubles w'ith a patient perseverance which merited a bott«*r reward. For not •only «lid they fight with hopes, .deln.sively renewed every year by the appar«*ntlv returning vigor of their plantations (whose leaf crop -was never m«>re glossy and abundant than just before a fresh attack of the fatal disease) for the preservation of their coffee trees, l)ut they successively tried the planting of cinchona, cocoa, vanilla ami other prrKlncts. whi«*h one by one faileil th«»m in the very hour of anticipated success. Then thi'v .sought to retrieve their fortunes, alrendy sorely shattere«l, by the planting of tea, a shrub or tree know n to he imligenous in many parts of Imlia. ami little exacting in its de-mamls upon the s«iil on which it grow's. It formed, therefore, a ready anti convenient substitute for the discarded coffee tr«*es, and money lieing a very essential consiileration to men whose resources had been exhatisted by their protractetl struggles,tea plantations, especially in Ceylon, were first formed on the same ground that had been previously occupieil by cofiee. The product thus originally adopted as a last re-scouce or makeshift has formed in that island its staple industry, so that w*hile in 187.S the exports of tea grow'ers in Ceylon amounted to no more than 23 poumls, they were expected in 1890 to exceed 48.000,000 pounds. My readers ’will l)c >K*tt«*r able to gra.sp this astonishing fact when they ro-mcmhcr that it takes from three to four yt'ars to obtain any proil-nce at all from the t«*a plant. In the thiril year, that is to say, there is a small return, hut practically th«* planter has to wait till the fourth year for the fruition of his labors.

I’ages and colnms of type are often too w’ide. so that the eye can not take in the w’hole of them in the ranga of one focus, hut has to strain itself to pass from the beginning of each line to the end. W«; are advised that the only w*ay to avoid such a strain is to turn the head from si«le to side, after tha manner of .short-sighted people. Further, it is said that the w’idth of a column or page of reading matter ought not tr» exceed at most tw*o inches, be-'cause this is about the natural range oi the eye w*hen the head is kept motionless. The tiny edition of Dante produced at the French exhibition is said to have blinded two or three of the persons engaged in printing and correcting the sheets, but the shape oi the type, as well as the size, is of great importance.

Never be economical with politeness. It pays to he courteous, especially to children and servants, who catch your tone and manner, and reveal you to your friends in a way that you hardly dream of as possible. The manner of good society does not denote or imply insincerity, nor need the sincere person be brusque or boorish. Tact is a gift ■worth striving for, if it has been denied to that unsatisfactory being, the “natural man.” Indeed, the natural manor woman is not always the most agreeable of associates.

In France the academy was constituted chiefiy t«i be a guardian of the language; and the academy, properly conservative as its nee«ls must he, is engaged in a slow ref«)rm of orthography, yielding to the popular dcmantl decorously and judiciously. By official action. also, the orthography of German has been simplified and made more logical and brought into closer relation W’ith modern pronunciation. Even more thorough reforms have been carried through in Italy, in Spain and in Holland. Y'et neither French nor German, not Italian, Spanish or Dutch, stfX)d half as much in need of the broom of reform as English, for in no one of these languages w*ere there so many dark corners which needed cleaning out; in no one of them the difference between orthography and pronunciation aa W’ide, and in no one of them w as the accepted spelling debased by numberless false etymologies. Sometimes it seems as though our orthography is altogether vile; that it is intollerahle and not to he endured: that it calls not for the broom of reform, hut rather for the besom of destruction. For any elaborate and far-reaching scheme of spelling reform, seemingly, the time has not yet come, although, fcr all we know, w*e may be approaching it all nnw’ittingly, as few of us in 18f»0 foresaw* the emancipation pr*x:lamation of 1863. In the meanw’hile, what is needed on both sides of the Atlantic, in the United States as well as in Great Britian, is a conviction that the existing orthography of English is not high treason. What is needed is the consciousneaa that neither Samuel Johnson and Noah .Webster compiled his dictionary under direct inspiration. What is needed ia an aw’akening to the fact that our spelling, so far froir being immaculate at its best, is. at its best, hardly lesa absurd than the hap-hazard rule-of-thumb, funnily phonetic spelling of Artemns Ward and of Josh Billing. What is needed is anything w’hich will break up the lethargy of satisfaction with the accepted orthographj*. and help to open the eyes of readers and w ritei’s to tho stupidity of the prei^ent and ten«l to make them discontented with it. S*> the f«'w* an«l slight divergences he-tw’e«*n li:e orthography obtaining in Great Britain and the orthography obtaining in the Unite«l States are not to he deplore«l. 'I'he cyder on the door of the Lond«)n har-r«)om and the catalog in the pages of the New* York Library .T«)urnal both subserve the useful pur-po.se of making people alive to the possibilities i)f iin am«*nded orthogi'aphy. Thus the so-«*alle«l “American spelling” helps al*)ng a good cause—and so. also, «lo the British assaults upon it.—Bran-der Matthews, iu Harper's Magazine. SWIMMING HORSES. ll<»\v They May lie Khhlen with Safety. Pictures are often seen representing hors(*nien sitting holt u'pright in their saihlh's w’hile sw’imming their horses across a str«*am, the whole line of the horses' hacks being visible above the water. 'I'he artists who make these pictures can hardly have ridden a horse while th«* animal was swdmming or seen the thing «lone. To l>egin W’ith. it must not he supposed that a horse alwaj’S sw’ims naturally. and with ease, the moiqent he is off his feet in the w’atcr. The animal under such cii’cumstances has hut one notion; to keep his head out of the, water, and to lift his shoulders as high as possible. In doing this his hind-qnarters sink, and he finds himself almost standing upon liis tail, or at Ica.st in a position three-quarters erect. In such a position, if the rider draws upon the reins, or throws his body hack in the least, the animal's hindquarters W’ill sink more and more, his body will take a vertical position, and heating the water uselessly w’ith his forefeet, he W’ill finally sink. — As soon as the horse gets off his feet in the w’ater, lot the rider grasp tha animal's mane, leaning at the same time well forw’ard upon its shoulders, hut W’ithout touching its head. The rider's knees should he pressed tightly to the horse's sl.les, otherwise he is likely to be sw’cpt off by the w’ater. This is the only position which will enable a man to I’cmain in tlio saddle, and the horse to swim at the same time. The reins must he held loosely, and each w’ell to one side.—Y'ankce Blade. GROOM, BEST MAN AND USHERS. How Faoli Slionlfl lie Dccoratetl at Wed-rtiiiifs According to an Authority. The groom should w’car a buttonhole bouquet, not very large, made of the same kind of flow’ers as the hride’e bouquet—possibly one rose and two or three sprays of lily of the valley. One white orchid, if this he very small, and several sprays of lily of the valley are very effective. Gardenias are much sought after and have been the favorite flow’er in London for w’edding boutonnieres for a number of years. Six spray's of lily of the valley also make a very pretty bouquet. The best man should w’oar a laige» bouquet than that w’orn by the groom, made of the same kind of flow'ers as the maid of honor carries. The ushore should wear very large, w’hite bouquete —four carnations is none too large, often as many as six are used. Either twelve sprays of lily of the valley or six sprays of Roman hyacinth, arranged compactly, make a pretty bouquet. The mother of the bride can either wear or carry a cluster of flowers tha •W’ill harmonize with the gown that she wears. If it be a formal wedding to carry the cluster is preferable; it should be a little smaller than the houqneta carried by the bridemaids. If the bride has sisters, and should they not be of the bridal party, let their bouquets be decidedly differeht from those carried by the bridal party. The father of the bride'should wear a boutonniere bouw quet much similar to that worn by thR best eiaii.-^Ladies* Home JoumaL , j X.____ .1
