MONKS OF HIGH DEGREE.
In a German Monustry There Are Do
‘OI’A'N-S Barn in the Pul'.ple
At‘~ .3:e kau, Germany, is the famou:
Abbey of Benzon, one ,of the bes‘.
known and celebrated monasteries, es
pecially because of the high statiOn o:_
the monks who are gathered there
The monks of the abbey include Prince
Philip of Hc-henlohe, who has bidder
"a definite adieu to the world; Fathel
Charles, under which name ,is con-
cealed the identity of a brilliant ex~
cavalry officer, belonging to an illustri'
ous house; Prince Edward Schonburg-
Hartenstein, and Father Benedict
Father Sebastian, once a major in‘the
Saxon army, bearing the name of Bar
on Von Oer; Father John, who was
Baron von Drais, and ran away from
the court of Baden to embrace this ca.
reer; Father Nicholas, who was Baror.
von Salis—Soglio; Father Hildebrand
who before assuming the cowl and
gown was a brave captain, by name 01
Count de Memptinne, and many others
too numerous to mention.
The Abbey Seckau is situated among
the mountains of Steiermark, in a
thick, wild forest, and in thirty years
has united together Benedictine monks
belonging to the best-known families,
celebrated for nobility or riches or dis-
tinguished in the arts. This monaste-
ry, where the rules are most rigorous
was founded over thirty years ago by
two brothers, Maurus and Placidua
Wolterof Cologne, two learned Monks
sent by Pius IX to Prussia to reorgan-
ize the monasteries there, which were
degenerating. The pious Princess
Of I-Iohenzollern offered
them the ancient Abbey of Benzon to
establish a new house, which came
into existence in 1863. Around the
two brothers there soon gathered 1it~
erary men and artistsgespecially from
Dusseldorf, in love with the splendor:
of the Black Forest, who their contin-
ued their work, so that there. is now
an artistic school of Benzon, which
may be said to rival the famous one
of the Italian Abbey of Monte Cassino
But at Benzon they not only go in for
the higher arts, but they make and pro
vide eve1ything for themselves. ——Pall
Mall Gazette.
TRICKS OF THE TYPES.
Some Amusing Mistakes of \Vhich Conn
positnrs Are Guilty.
“What is this?” exclaimed a compos-
it01 who was exp e1 ting to be promoted
to a proofreader...1" s1101t1y “ ‘Sermons
in stones .3, be oks in iunning brooks!
Impossible! He means, of course, ‘Ser-
moms in books and stones in the run-
ning brooks.’ ” And a new reading oi
Shakespeare appeared next morning.
A sporting compositor thought
“Cricket on the Hearth” must be a slip
of the pen. He made it “Cricket on the
Heath.” ‘ ..
A writer on angling had the joy 01
seeing his sentence, “The young salmon
are beginning to run,” printed “The
young salmon are beginning to swim,"
another thoughtful compositor having
been at work.
Happier was the transformation Oi
the sentence, “B1ing me my toga” intc
“Bring me my togs.”
There is a less subtle vein of humor
in the story of the editor who wrote
dining an election, “The battle is now
opened. ” The compositor spelled bat
tie” with an “o,” and the othe1 side
said, of course, that they had suspect-
ed it from the that.
It was by a simii: 1.; mistake that the
late Baker Pasha, n hotmight fairly be
described as a “bat~tle«scarred veteran,"
was called a “battle-scared veteran,"
the libel being by no means purged
when the newspaper called the gallant
officer a “bottle-scarred veteran.”
Owing to an error in printing the.
announcement, “A sailor, going to sea,
his wife desires the prayers of the con.
gregation,” became “A sailor going‘ to
see 'his wife deserves the prayers of the
congregation.” .
The statement “Messrs. ’5 pre-
serves cannot be beaten,” was rather
vitiated as an advertisement by the
omission of “b” in the last word.
Innocently gay was the newspaper
report which said that the London ex-
press had knocked down a cow and cut
it into “calves.”—_Lesta Typographica.
The Peregrinatious of a $10 Hill.
. Here’s a mathematical problem
which the Boston Post observer heard
a bank messenger putting to a man of
figures the ‘other day: “A banker found
a $10 bill. At 11.111119 he gave it to his
wife, who paid the butcher in settle-
ment of his account. The butcher paid
it to the farmer for a calf, and the
farmer paid it to the merchant, who in
turn paid it to the washerwoman, and
she, owing the banker a note of $10,
went to the banker and paid the note.
The banker recognized the bill as the
one he had found and which up to that
time had paid $50 worth of debt. On
a careful examination he found the bill
was a counterfeit.” Of course, the
problem is, Who lost by the transac-
tion?
TWO Angelic Kansas Towns.
The last Kansas freak is the report
of a cursory census taken of Lost
Springs and Ramona, two towns in
Marion County: with 200 population
each. There is not a vacant house in
either place, not an. idle man or boy,
not a. tippler and not a dog.> The
claim. is made that there never has
been a drop of intoxicating liquor sold
in either of these towns. A crusade
against the use of tobacco will be the
next move by the women of Ramona.—

pointed many times. But first a man

f01 CA. 0., California Catarrh Cure,
and now people buv and use it in per4
feet confidence that” it will do what it
claims: that it will cure every form,
every trace of catarrh. ‘ Read what
Mrs. I. F. Williamson, 24 Spring street,
South Norwalk, says: ‘I got a
bottle of California Cata1rh Cure
at Plaisted’s Drug store, for my
daughter Kitty, who has ' been
troubled quite badly ‘with catarrh, and
she finds that it has helped her very
much. My sister has also used the
medicine with most satisfactory results
and joins me‘in saying that it is a fine
medicine.”
Catarrh 1n its fully developed forms
is a hideous disease, involving decay,
filth and actual rottenness, with most
ofiensive odors 1n the ve1 y seat of the
organs of taste and smell; fiimly fixed
there, it begins to attack the memb1ane
lining of the passages leading to the
lungs or the stomach, resulting either
1n consumption, or what' IS often called
dyspepsia. It is really catarrh of the
stomach, intestines, liver, kidneys and
'iarious internal passages. California
C‘atarrh Cure will cure all forms of ca-
tarrh, and will check even incipient
consumption. All dealers, 50 cents,

A QUESTIONABLE ADVANTAGE;
Who \Verh Plenum-kw!
Husbands.
The editor of the Philistine think-
that there is some compensaion ever.-
in a shrewish wife. He says:
“For the benefit of henpecked and
misunderstood husbands I’ll call atten-
tion to the fact that the men who have
achieved most in literature, 11:11:,:.1~.
painting and philOsophy are men 1-. ..:1
knew from sad experience the sham-
neSS of woman’s claws: Socrazes,
Dante, Shakspeare, Rousseau, Milton.
Wagner, Paganini, and so many more
that were I to name them all the
world would not be large enough to
contain the books in which they are
printed. Of course I'll admit that the
men who have been flayed by women
have usually been greatly helped by
women, and this sometimes accounts
{or the flaying. But the “point I make
is that all experience is good—the law
of compensation never rests add the
stagnation .Of a dead-level ‘happy mar-
ried life' may not be any more me
strong man’s advantage than along
course of stupid misunderstanding.
Milton bewailedihe fact that .he could
get freedom from marital woes on no
less ignoble grounds than violating
his'marriagc- vows. Milton did not get
his freedom. His wife sat on him,
silent and insensate, and so did her
whole family of seven persons. And
his sharp cry made him the butt of
jibes and jeers innumerable. Milton
was an obscure school teacher and
clerk; but if any of those great men
who sought, to humiliate and defeat
him are mentioned nowadays in his-
tory it is only to say ‘they lived in the
age of Milton.’ ‘His life ruined by a
woman’—Pish! you flatter her; she
hasn’t the power. And the end of the
whole thing, brother, is, it doesn’t
much matter what your condition in
life is; all things are equalized. When
the prophet said, ‘God is good, and
his mercy enduréth from everlasting
to e‘verlasting,"he understood him-
self.”

ORIGIN OF THE PHONOGRAPH
gel Gave the Inspiration.
\ Pos’sibly thegmost widely known 0
all Edison’s inventions are the tele
‘phone and phonograph, and the latte:
was discovered by the merest accidenl
——namely, an accident happening to the
right man. ' .
“I, was singing,” says Mr. Edison
“to the mouthpiece of a telephone
when the vibration of the voice Sent
the fine steel point into my finger. Tha1
set me thinking. It I could record the
actions of the point, and send the point
over the same surface afterward, I saw
no reason why the ,thing wOuld not
talk. I tried the experiment first on 2
strip of telegraph paper, and founc
that the point made an alphabet.
“I shouted the words ‘Halloa! hal
loa!’ into the mouthpiece, ran the pa.
per back over‘the steel point and heard
a faint ‘Halloa! halloa!’ in return. 1
determined to make a machine that
would work accurately, and gave my
assistants instructions, telling then:
what I had discovered. They laughed
at me. That’s the whole story. The
phonograph is the result of the prick
ing of a finger.”
All this sounds remarkably simple
and Mr. Edison has a habit 0f speaking
of his inventions as though they hac‘
drOpped from the clouds; but needles:
to say, after the principle of the phone
graph had been discovered, there wer:
days and nights of anxious though‘
and experiment before the famous
talking machine, with which even tht
nursery is familiar to-day, had reach
ed its present perfection.

AN ANIMATED Parse. CUTTER.
An Elephant Perful'xui the" Work with
Neatnass and Dispatch.
This is a pretty story of an intelli-
gently trained elephant. Such a pa.-
per cutter must, however, be an expen-
sive adjunct to the library. An ele-
phant cannot be boarded for less than
$3 a day. When Lord Duffciin was
Viceroy of India. he was visited by the
Rajah of Holkar, who saw the Viceroy
take up some illustrated London papers
which had just arrived by mail and cut
them with an ivory paper knife, says
an exchange. It was the first time the
Indian Prince had seen such an instru-
ment used. “Make me a present of
that,” he said to the Viceroy, “and I
will give you another.” Lord Dufferin
hastened to comply with this modest
request and the young Rajah returned
to his country. Not long after he re-
turned to Calcutta, bringing with him
a young elephant, whose tusk-s had
been carved in the most artistic man-
ner in the shape of a paper knife. This
he brought as a present to the Viceroy.
A table hearing some illustrated papers
was placed by a servant before this in-
telligent beast, who immediately seized
them with .'his trunk, cut them most
deftly with his tusks and then handed
nal.

It is reported of Mr. Wesley that on
one occasion, when he was, crossing
the Atlantic, two frivolous young fel-
lows came up to him one day with sol—
emn faces, exclaiming:
“Oh, Mr. Wesley, the devil is dead!”
Putting his hands on theirshoulders
and looking equally solemn, the cele-
brated minister exClaimed:
“My poor fatherless children, what
will you do?”
Mr. Spurgeon was quick at repartees.
After Mr. Charlesworth left the Con-
gregationalists and joined the Baptists,
some one said to him in Mr. Spurgeon’s
hearing:
“So you have changed yOur views,
Mr. Charlesworth?” '
“Oh, no,” said Mr. Spurgeon, f‘he has
not! He has only cleaned his win-

Lord Palmerston and Bishop Wilber-

and when Sunday came round, Lord
Palmerston offered the bishop a lift to

rain. When Lord P. passed in his car-
riage, he mockingly said:
“How blessed is he who ne‘er cou-

To which the bishop promptiyhn-
swered: ‘
“Nor stands in sinners’ ways, nor sits
where men profaneiy talk.” .
