It is written in th 3 Psalms: "God is my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the e:u-ih." This can only rcfor to the scenes of the Passion and of the holy sepul chre; the midst or raid spot of the earth must, therefore, be sought in that vicinity. The belief that the center of the earth is at Jerusalem is very ancient, for it is alluded to by St. Ephrem in his reftrence to Noah's prayer over the bone of Atlam. St. Ephrem says: "And Noah buried Adam's body n the middle of the earth.'" A certain round stone in the temple of Delphi i also spoken of by tho ancient w -iters as being the navel or center o the earth." Orastes take- iviu-c there when pursued by Euuicnirlc Pindar al60 makes mention of tin cr.act location of the center of the world; and Pen sanius, like Herr Schick, also had the pleasure of behi-lding the only genuine central hub of our planet, lie, however, locates it at Delphi, instead of at Jerusalem.

"But, father," faltered the youth, .r' "That's all very well," returned the elder, "but my advice is good." Why?" inquired ths son. Why?" echoed the father. "Because if you sho ild go forth as an artist and the results come to tho ears of her father I don't think that you would stand any e lance of ever winning her, my son." DR CREAM MOST PERFECT MADE.

Aii amusing anecdot3 is once more current in Europe illustrating the readiness, cauticity, and cleverness of retort of Leo XIII. It appears that when tho holy father was nuncio at Brus-els, previous to his becom ing a cardinal, he was accosted one evening after dinner at the royal palace by a certain marquis, who, with a view to provok ng a laugh at the expense, of tho pi-elate, handed him a snuff box on the lid of which there was a nude and indecent figure of Venus. Tho nuncic took it and carefully examined it without be traying the slightest e nbarrussmont or appearing to notice he smothered merriment of the marquis and his friends. Thereupon he handed it back to the marquis with a courtly bow and the suave re nark: "It is charming, my dear marquis; a por trait of the marquise, I suppose?" Iitui;4r of !-.iiiiiu (iumia.

"I have here," they begin, "a petition from the blank board of trade of blank asking for the repeal of the" f Here there is a 1 ng pause, a glance toward the senior senator from Ohio in a depreciating sort of way, as though they wanted to avoid bruising any one's feeling, and then: "The so called Sherman act," with great stress upon the "so called."
