Church tradition has “consecrated this prison as the place where St. Peter and St. Paul were confined by order of Nero. Historian Hillard says of it:“The Mamertine prison is a hideous vault divided into an upper and lower portion scooped out of the solid rock and lined with massive blocks in the Etruscan style of architecture. A more heartbreaking place of confinement it is not easy to imagine. According to the traditions of the church, St. Peter ‘was imprisoned here by order of Nero, and the pillar to which he was bound and a fountain which sprang up miraculously to furnish the water of baptism to his jailers, whom he converted, are shown to the visitor. There is no reason to doubt that Jugurtha was starved to death in these pitiless vaults, Here, too, the companions of Catiline were strangled. It is a curious fact that the chances of literature and history should “have earved two such *} ames: as those of Sallust and Cicero on these’Cyclopean walls.” Not Piety, but Pork. The following bit of nonconformist humor is taken from “The Farringdons,” an English romance. The speakers are Mrs. Bateson and Mrs. Hankey, worthy wives, but not altogether above feeling a certain pleasure in showing up the ways of husbands: “They've no sense, men haven't,” said Mrs. Hankey; “that’s what's the matter with them.” “You never spoke a truér word, Mrs. Hankey,” replied Mrs. Bateson. “The very best of them don’t properly know the difference between-their souls and their stomachs, and they fancy they are a-wrestling with their doubts when really it is their dinners that are a-wrestling with them. “Now, take Bateson hisself,” continued Mrs. Batéson. “A kinder husband or better Methodist never drew breath, yet so sure as he touches a bit of pork he begins to worry hisself about the doctrine of election till there’s no living with him. And then he'll sit in the front. parior and engage in prayer for hours at a time till I says to him: “ ‘Bateson,’ says I, ‘I’d be ashamed to go troubling the Lord with a prayer when a pinch of carbonate of -soda would set things straight again!’ ” Machine Made Jokes, Some time ago a fellow got up a little book giving hints on how to be funny. Copies of this book are evidently in’ common use by the funny men connected with many of our newspapers. Witness this specimen joke attributed to a Chicago paper: He—Who is that ugly old woman over there by the piano? She—Oh, that’s Mme. Cosmetique, the famous beauty specialist. The book tells just how to make this class of jokes in bulk. The same idea will do for a whole batch. “He” asks: “Who is that baldheaded man?’ “She” answers: “That is Dr. Quacknostrum, the Hair Renewer man.” Again, “He” asks: ‘“‘What is the matter with those erying brats?’ And “She” responds: “Their ‘mother has gone to lecture on the training of children.” Once you eatch the idea you can produce funny things of this kind automatically, and if you are a funny man on a newspaper your readers will laugh every time and other papers will quote your jokes and give your paper credit for them.—Pathfinder. Mr. Bryan’s alleged sincerity does not cut muc.i of a figure in the case. The yuestion before the country is: What would he try to doif he were p-esiden’? He says that he would use all his power to open the American mints to the free coinage of silver and would extend the Monroe doctrine to Asia, which being interpreted, means that the United States would undertake to warn Europe that. any attempt to extend their possessidua in Asia would mean war] with this country. That is what the Monroe doctrine means as applied to America. If Mr. Bryan ‘is spoiling for a war that is the way to get his fill of it, PRICES. Pew. eet ~“Viitxclusivencas® ey the “Chines: While it is to-be presumed that those persons cRkarged with the prosecution of the: present campaign against the Chinese are familiar with the peculiar: {ties of the heathen Chinee, it is certain that the average individual knows little or nothing .of the gross ignorance of gutside affairs which prevails in the “Flowery Kingdom,” even in high official quarters. Apologists for the Celestials are pleased to excuse this ignorance by calling it “exclusiveness,” which, they assert, is so pronounced because of the fact that it has been taught for centuries. It will wear off in time, say these persons in extenugtion. This may be true, but to ordinary individuals, who can see in @ spade nothing more than a spade, and are inclined to so designate It, this sounds childish. Perhaps no better illustration of the {incompleteness of the much vaunted “higher education” which prevails in China was ever given than that which is printed in a recent issue of Harper's Weekly. The writer, who evidently knows whereof he speaks, in relating a little story bearing upon the pecultarity in question says: “One night the local officials of the small village where we were stopping called, accerding to custom; to greet us and arrange for future progress. One of them, a dear old gentleman who had a laugh that would have made his fortune on the stage in any. capital of Europe, inquired what land I came from, if it was far from China, and then whether I came by. land or by sea, each question being punctuated by a delicious laugh. To tell him, who considered. 100 miles as a long journey, that I had come over 10,000 miles was to;give the impression of a gross exaggeration, as he had no idea of the size of the earth or where America was, as tlie question whether it was north or south of China Indicated. One of his companions, finding that his friend was. quite at sea, finally summoned up-courage and rebuked the questioner by pointing out that America was in the western and China in theeastern hemisphere. After other inquiries the first man brightened up and said, “Ob, I know now where your land fs; it is between France and Gerniany,” whereupon the second, who had been carefully watching our faces and so perceived that the other was wrong again, repeated his hemisphere remark with a most. supercilious and superior air, and as he ventured nothing more. there was little doubt that that comprised his whole knowledge of the world’s. geography, although there was considerable doubt that he really knew what a hemisphere was, and yet these -two men held important government positions, and one of them has since been promoted and is on the high road to still greater places of trust, and to such men the people must look and rely on for their guidance. But this state of affairs must not be confounded with being uneducated according to our standards. From a Chinese point of view they were very. highly educated and had spent an amount of time in acquiring their information that would suffice with us'to take a man through as leading university and give him a Ph. D. degree. They had a great amount of learning, but it was of no practical value, It was the teachings of the fifth century before Christ rather than the nineteenth century after.” The Carp is Very Bony.
