STb Kody Wll4 Vp la Temporary Toaito Until It It Tut la th Crypt. Few saw tho scene which followed when tho good po's body had lain four days in state and was then placed in its coffin at night, to bo hoisted high and swung noiselessly into tho tempo rary tomb above tho small door on the cast side that is, to tho left of the Chapel of the Uhoir. It wus for a long time tho custom that each popo should lie thero until his suceenKor died, when his body was removed to tho monument prepared for it in tho meantime, and the popo just dead was laid in tho sumo placo. The church was almost dark, and only in the Chapel of tho Choir and that of tho Holy Sacrament, which are op posite each other, a number of big wax oandles shed a yellow light. In tho nicho over the door a mason was still at work, with a tallow dip, clearly visible from below. Tho triplo coffins 6tood be fore the altar in the Chapel of tho Choir. Opposite, where tho Lody still lay, the Noblo guards and tho Swiss guards, in their breastplates, kept watch with drawn swords and halberds. Tho Noblo guards carried tho bier on their shoulders in solemn procession, with chanting choir, robed bishops and tramping soldiers, round by tho Confes sion and across tho church and lifted the body into tho coffin. The popo had J)ccu very much beloved by all who were near him, and more than ono gray haired prelato shed tears cf geuuino grief that night In the coffin, in accordance with an ancient custom; a bag was placed con taining 03 medals, one of gold, one of silver and ono of bronze for each of the 81 years during which Popo Pius had reigned, and a history of tho pontifi cate, written on parchment, was albo deposited at the feet of the body. When the leaden coffin was soldered, six seals wero placed upon it, fivo by cardinals and one by the archivist of the Chapter of St. Peter's. During the whole ceremony the prothonotary apos tolic," tho chancellor of tho .apostolic chamber and the notary of the Chapter of 'St Peter's were busy, pen in hand, writing down the detailed protocol of the proceedings. The last absolution was pronounced. and the coffin in its outer case of elm was slowly moved out and raised in slings and gently swung into tin niche. The masons bricked up the opening in the presence of cardinals and guards, and long before midnight tho marblo slab, carved to represent tho side of a sarcophagus, was in its placo with its simplo inscription, "Pius IX, P.

On the whole, tho portraits of Turner m after life cannot bo said to bo satis factory or convincing. Turner's was doubtless a battling face, full of charac ter, which was difficult to seizo without caricature, showing little of the fino spirit and poetical feeling which wero displayed in his works and becoming coarser and redder as he advanced in life a face that rejected all attempts at idealization, at least in tho hands of those who tried. Nono of tho written descriptions of him is very attractive: "A red Jewish face, with staring bluish gray eyes, tho smallest and dirtiest hands on record; his complexion was very coarso and weather beaten: his cuticle that of a Btagccoachmau or an old man-of-war's boatswain" this, uccordiug to Thorn bury, was the impression ho made on less' enthusiastic friends." 4 'Turner had fine, intelligent eyes, dark blue or mazarine, ' said Mr, Trimmer, nis old friend; Vbut, as it is said of bwiit s, they were heavy rather than animat ed." Leslie writes: "There was, in fact, nothing elegant in his appearance full of elegance as he was in art He might have been taken for the captain of a river steamer at first sight, but a second would find far more in his race thart helnnpa to anv ordinary mind.

If any one had told him ho was drunk. he would not have resented it, but would have made an effort to maintain his equilibrium and dignity long enough to explain that he was only a little oozy woozy, no realized that he lived at 206 Irvington street, and that his residenco was on the right hand sido as he wabbled along homeward. Tho un certain light of early dawn, combined with tho blear in his eyes, rendered it necessary for him to stop in front of every houso and gravely brace himself against the railings until ho could focus his eyesight on the number. Finally he identified his house, but after arguing with himself for a couple of minutes ho came to the conclusion that ho was just woozy enough to make mistakes possible, so to bo absolutely certain ho balanced himself against the front fence and studied the number oa the transom. Instead of 206 he saw 609. He rubbed his eyes and looked again, but tho number had not changed. It was still 509. Then ho wondered how it happened that ho had got on the wrong side of the street and three blocks too far out, made a zigzag across tho street and started back, but before he had walked threo blocks ho came to tho end of tho street The weary pilgrim was bewildered. He couldn't understand it, but getting his directions shaped his course up the street on tho right side and kept on un til ho came to 509 agaiu. Ho studied it from every possible point of view, even trying to stand on his head to read it, but it perversely remained 509. Utterly bewildered, he sat down on tho steps and waited till a policeman camo along. "I'm losht," ho explained. "I want er po ter 206 Irvington street. " "This is tho place, right here," de clared tho officer. "Can't be. Thish i 509." "No, it ain't It's 2015, but the tran som is turned over. " Tho lost was found. San Francisco Tost. lien Wade on Darin. When Ben Wade of Ohio was the nresidinir officer c f tho senate, ho used occasionally to call somo senator to take the chair and relieve himself by walk ing up and down in tho lobby which toti b:iek of the senate chamber. Once while thus walking ho was overtaken by a certain carpetbag senator from one of tho southern states, who occupied the identical chair that Jefferson Davis had used while a member of the senate. Walking along by tho sido of Wade, ho rubbed his back wearily and said: "Wade, these senato chairs are the most uncomfortable things I ever saw. Aly back is positively blistered from sitting in mine, " Wado looked at him for a moment, and, as ho turned away, mut tered, "Davis left enough brains in the seat of that chair to blister tho backs of two or three such men as you are, " San Francisco Argonaut When Tbey ltean to Write. It is astonishing the number of, suc cessful writers who were well on in years beforo they even thought of adopt ing literature as a profession. Thomas Hardy was 81 before ho began to turn his attention to story telling. George Eliot was 40 beforo she wroto a line of fiction, having no faith in her powers as a story teller. Barry Cornwall was 35 beforo he thought of writing" verso. Jules Verno was 85 before ho wroto his first story.

"How do you manatro to find new freaks and curiosities?" was the ques tion asked of the manager of a traveling show that had pitched its tent in a London suburb. "Don't have to find them," was the laconio response. "They find us. Tho freak business is as regularly established as any other and has its wholesale and retail firms, traveling salesmen, brokers, price lists, factories" "Factories?" queried tho reporter, aghast. "Why, certainly, factories, of course. Tho freak business is divided into about threo varieties foreign, domestic and fake, "In tho first class tho collectors travel all over tho world in search of rarities, but tho very best freaks come from In dia and tho Malay peninsula. In theso countries thero aro people who breed freaks. They buy young children and animals and deform them while their bones aro soft by all manners of means. Then they are constantly on the outlook for genuiuo natural freaks, and in those lands tho birth of a freak occurs very frequently. Tho headquarters of this busineas is at Singapore. "Then there aro any number of men who devoto themselves to tho discover ing and placing of freaks of all kinds and varieties, and thero is scarcely a day goes by that we do not receive packages of photographs and illustrated circulars from some freak merchant or Other. "Of course thero are the faked freak men a perfect host in themselves. If the proprietor of somo little show needs an additional attraction and does not have the money to hire something good for, liko everything else, freaks have their price ho can get something for little money that will serve his purpose, "The real, genuine live freaks always command high prices and travel all over the world in order to exhibit them selves. Most of them have regular routes mapped, out by their advance ' agents, just like theatrical companies,' and as they only appear at a place at long in tervals they never get stale, and some times make bigger hits on their second or third appearance than on their first" London MaiL AN AMUSING DEBATE. The Subject Was Serious Enough, but the Situation Was Comical. When, in tho old days of trouble be tween the Euslish and French, thero was talk of sending Admiral Hawko to sea to keep watch over the enemy s fleet, thero occurred a notable interview. It was November. The weather was stormy aud dangerous for vessels and tho gov ernment was not agreed as to sending them out Mr. Pitt, who was in bed with gout, was obliged to receive thoso who had business with him in his chamber. This room had two beds and no fire. Tho Duko of Newcastlo came to him to con sider tho 6eudintr out of the fleet, and had scarcely entered tho room when ho cried out, shivering all over with cold: "How is this? No firo?" "No," said Mr. Pitt. "When I have tho trout. I cannot bear ono." The duko, wrapped in his cloak, took a seat by the invalid's bedside and be gan talking, but he found himself un ablo to enduro the cold. "Pray allow me!" he exclaimed sud denlv. and. without takinc off his cloak, ho buried himself in tho other bed and continued tho conversation. Ho was strongly opposed to risking the fleet in the November gales. Mr. Pitt was abso lutely resolved that it should put to sea, and both argued tho matter with much warmth. It was tho only warmth, in Wd. in the room. "I am positively determined that tho fleet shall sail," said Pitt, accompany ing his words with the most lively ges ticulations. . i t , x "It is impossible! It will perish 1" said the duke, with equal emphasis. At the moment the discussion waxed hottest another dignitary of the realm oame in and found it difficult to keep his countenance at the sight of two ministers deliberating on a matter of so grave importance from such a novel sit nation. The fleet did put to sea, and Mr. Pitt's judgment proved to bo right Tho enemy was crippled and a signal aa vantage gained. Youth's Companion. All About Lore.

Wherein Tbey IMsTer From Those of Other Countries. In apartment houses in Russia the lodgings which open on the courtyard rent for a lower price, says a writer in Lippincott's, because tho entrance is through a porte cochere, or, at night, through a wicket therein. This is an unobjectionable, rather an aristocratic arrangement in a private house, but elsewhere the courtyard may contain too many stables, workshops or even a large number of cows to supply dairy shops, which profess to deal in Finnish that is to say, in pure country but ter, cream aud milk. In this caso also the winter's supply of wood for the great house is sure to bo stacked in piles a couplo of stories high so close to tho less desirable lodgings that the prefect of tho town was obliged to issue an or der protecting the poorer inhabitants and regulating tho position of the wood piles at a proper distance from the building for light and air. Our researches revealed the fact that very few ' 'furnished" lodgings provided either towels, bed linen, coverlets or pillows, or anything, in fact, beyond the bare bedsteads and furniture. Of course we were aware theoretically that this is a reminiscenco of the days when every landed proprietor traveled accom panied by an entiro housekeeping outfit and staff . of servants when he under took those long carriago journeys which preceded the days of railways and which aro still compulsory in some parts of the empire. Nevertheless, in practice, we were not prepared to accept this be yond towels, and we protested that no traveler should be obliged to drag such bulky objects about with him in these days of improved transit facilitiea The logio of this argument was not very strong on our side, it is true, but most travelers will agree with us neverthe less. Tho Russian lodging houso people, in return, seemed to regard us with amazement and pi i because wo did not possess these things and declined to pur chase them. Their idea must have been that we were accustomed to sleep in our clothes, like their own peasants. In some cases they were willing to provide the bed furnishings for a con sideration, but they regarded one towel a week and ono change of linen a month as ample. ART IN ST. PETER'S. O&LUJfKr POIXTKlts Hmokers, if you nave failed to find a sigar to ault you. try MHe4ndichi Crown." th rxwt Id the market. There Are Few Pictures or Frescoes In the Great Cathedral. Nothing perhaps is more striking as ono becomes better acquainted with St Peter's than the constant variety of de tail. Tho vast building produces at first sight an impression of harmony, and thero appears to bo a remarkable uni fortuity of style in all the objects one sees. There aro no oil paintings to speak of in tho church and but few frescoes. The great altar pieces are almost exclusively fine mosaic copies of famous pictures which are preserved elsewhere. Of these reproductions tho best is generally con sidered to bo that of Guerciuo's "St Petronilla" at the end of the right aisle of the tribune. Desbrosses praises these mosaic altar pieces extravagantly, and even expresses the opinion that they are probably superior in point of color to the originals, from which they aro cop ied. In execution they aro certainly wonderful, and many a stranger looks at them and passes on believing them to bo oil paintings. They possess the quality of being im perishable and beyond all influence of climate or dampness, and they are mas terpieces of mechanical workmanship. Bat many will think them hard and unsympathetic in outline and decidedly crude in color. Much wit has been man ufactured by the critics at the expense of Guido Reni's ,4Michael," for in stance, and as many sharp ihings could bo said about a good many other works of the same kind in the church. . Yet on the whole, they do not destroy the general harmony. Big as they are, when they are seen from a littlo distance, they pink into mere insignificant patches of color, all but lost in the deep richness cf the whole. Marion Crawford in Century.
