ROMANCE 'IN HIS LEAVING.
Considerable 'Commotion in Catholic Cir-
cles Over a Defection.
WASHINGTON, D. 0., Dec. 29.—There is
a decided commotion in Catholic Church
circles here over the defection of Merwin
Marie Snell, private secretary to Bishop
Keane, the rector of the Catholic'Univer-
city and lecturer upon comparative relig-
ion in that institution. Dr. Snell is a
young man of remarkable scholarship,
author of various books on religious sub- '
jects, and a frequent contribitor to the
church reviews. His works have alwa s
breathed the deepest loyalty to t e
Catholic faith and his most recent books
ended with the declaration that if any
word was counter to the doctrines of the
mother church it must be considered null.
By his own choice, after deep delibera-
tion, Dr. Snell has cut loose from the
creed which he had espoused when begin-
ning his scholarly career and declared his
allegiance ended. There was a little
romance in the mannerof his leave taking
too, for it was first made known by the
announcement of his marriage. On
Christmas eve Dr. Snell was married to
Minnie Gilbert Spraguc, the youngest
daughter of a Presbyterian clergyman
_ here, and the ceremony was performed by
the Rev. J. C. Rankin, the Congregational
president of Howard University.

_ The Condorl.
Sometimes their expanse of wing is
fourteen feet, though the average is
about ten. They live on the summits of
mountains in air'so rare that man’s vi-
tality is reduced so that they can not
stand. The condor sits on its eggs seven
weeks. It nourishes its young for a year
before allowing them to leave the nest.
It has a swift flight, a keen eye. and can
adapt itself to the regions of perpetual
snow or tropical gardens at the base of
the mountains—Boston Transcript.
The Useless Little Toe.
“Any man or woman who has suffered
with corns must agree with me that the
little too is an entirely useless appendage
of the. human foot,” said J. Y. Baskin,
of Louisville, at the Lindell. “ It is the
little toe that invites and encourages the
growth of the corn more than does any
other of the five toes, and mainly on ac-'
count of this propensity to fret and pain
the poor mortal who is heir to so many
ills _I am convinced that the little toe is
gradually evoluting itself out of exist-
ence. For my part I would like to
hasten the day when the little too will
entirely disappear from the foot and re.
min only a reminiscence to the race.
We have no earthly use for it, anyhow,
and the sooner it goes the better for hu-l
manity and humanity’s hope of the here-
after. The little toe now hangs to the
foot like a wart. In nine cases out of
ten its possessor has no muscular control
of it. You can not even work it as you
do the other toes. Time was, perhaps,
when it was strong and sprightly and
would spread itself out to assist in main-
taining bodily equilibrium“ But that
.was beforewe began towear shoes”..-
