TOMBS IN ST. PETER’S.
gome of Them Have Heen Violated and
the Mono* Scattered Abroad.
Ono of the host tombs in tlio ba
silica is that of Sixtus IV, tho first
pope of tbo Rovere family, in tho
Cbapol of tlio Sacrament. The bronze
figure, lying low on a sarcophagus
placed out upon tbo floor, has a
quiet, manly dignity about it which
one cannot forget. But in tho same
tomb lies a greater man of the same
race—Julius ll—for whom Michael
Angolo made his great “Moses’ in
tho church of San Pietro in Vincoli,
n man who did more than any other,
perhaps, to mako tho great basilica
what it is, and who, by a chain of
mistakes, got no tomb of his own.
He who solemnly laid tho founda
tions of tho present church and lived
to seo the four main piers completed,
with their arches, has only a slab
in the pavement to recall his mem
ory. The protector and friend of
Bramanto, of Michael Angelo and of
Raphael—and of the great architect,
tho great sculptor and tho great
painter—has not so much as tho
least work of any of tbo three to
mark his place of rost. Perhaps ho
needed nothing but his name, which
must always stand among tho great
est.
After all, his bones have been al
lowed to rest in peace, which is
more than can ho said of nil that
have boon buried within tho area of
tho church. Urban Y'l had no such
good fortune. Ho so much surprised
tho cardinals, ns soon as they had
elected him, by his vigorous moral
reforms, that they hastily retired to
Anagni and elected an antipope of
milder manners and less sensitive
conscience. lie lived to triumph over
his enemies. In Piacenza ho was be
sieged by King Charles of Naples.
Ho excommunicated him, tortured
seven cardinals whom ho caught in
a conspiracy mid put live of them to
death, overcame and slew Charles,
refused him burial and had his body
exposed to the derision of tho crowd.
The chronicler says that “Italy, Gor
many, England, Hungary, Bohemia,
Poland, Sicily and Portugal were
obodiunt to tho Lord Pope Urban
VI.” 110 died peacefully and was
buried in St. Peter’s in a marble sar
cophagus.
But when Sixtus V, who also sur
prised tho cardinals greatly, was in
n lit of haste to finish tho dome, tho
masons, wanting a receptacle for
water, laid hands on Urban’s stone
coffin, pitched his bones into a cor
ner and used the saroophagtia ns
they pleased, leaving it to servo ns
a water tank for many years after
ward.
In extending the foundations of
the church Paul 111 came upon the
bodies of Maria and liorinantia, tho
two wives of fionorius, the emperor
who “disestablished" paganism in
favor of Christianity. They wore
sisters, daughters of Stilioho, and
had boon buried in their imperial
robes, with many rich objects and
feminine trinkets, and they were
found intact, as they had been bur
ied, in the month of February, 1513.
Forty pounds of line gold were taken
from their robes alone, says Barao
ooni, without counting all the jew
els and trinkets, among which was
u very beautiful lamp, besides a
groat number of precious stones.
The pope melted down the gold for
the expenses of the building and set
tho gems in*a tiara, where, if they
ouuld bo identified, they certainly
exist, today—tho very stones worn
l>y empresses of ancient Homo.—

Chafing Dish Cookery.
Thoro are certain supplies and
condiment' dint the man or woman
who intends to do such chafing dish
oookory without annoyance should
invest in. Though some of them are
expei/ivo in the beginning, they are
used in such small quantities that
they are in reality not extravagant
for occasional dishes. Good curry
powder is often called for in many
reoipos, so that you will need a bot
tle of that, also one of Tarrago vine
gar, some anchovies, cayenne popper
and paprika, lemons, a few cans of
mushrooms, olive oil, a bit of good
cheese, some canned salmon, sar
dines, and if yon are to make a deli
cious welsh rabbit a low’ bottles of
good ale or beer. If you do not ob
ject to using wine in oookory, a bot
tle or two of claret or madeira will
net come amiss in some of tho rec
ipes that are found in most of tho
books on chafing dish cookery.—

A Catholic priest of Boston is
fond of telling a story at his own cx
penso. “I was coming out of church
one day,” ho says, “and directly in
front of mo were two old women
who did not know that I was with
in earshot ‘And did ye know, Mrs.
Mulligan, that Father Blank was
goin to Europe?’ said one to tho oth
er. 'lndado, 1 did not, thin, Mrs.
MeSwipes. An what's takin him
there?’ was the immediate query.
‘My 10 cints and your 10 cints, Mrs.
Mulligan, and that's wliat s takin
him aboard a Coonarder, ’ replied the
informative dame, with a significant
toss of her gray Lead. ” —New York

PLAIN LIVING AND HiGH THINKING.
On Hoir Mach or How little Minister!
hived 150 Years A so.
We have heard a great deal about
plain living and high thinking, with
illustrations from men who bad
hardly the wherewithal to keep soul
and body together,hut who, in spite
of that, have written books that have
left their impress not only upon
their own time, but upon after gen
erations. Wo are a littlo suspicious
of such stories, lest they should bo
quoted to justify the niggardliness
of those who “receive of tho gospel”
in providing for the wants of those
who preach tho gospel. But tho fol
lowing instance is too remarkable to
ho overlooked, and wo givo it to our
readers, since wo can vouch for its
accuracy, having examined the roo
ord only Saturday last.
Jonathan Edwards is tho greatest
theologian that this country has ev
er produced. Robert Hall, tho fa
mous English preacher, used to de
vour his hooks with such amaze
ment at tho power of reasoning they
showed that he exclaimed, “Ed-
wards is tho greatest”—perhaps ho
meant e iy in tho field of philo
sophical and theological speculation
—“of tho sons of men.” Yet this
great man was settled in a country
parish in Northampton, whore tho
people, who conld not appreciate his |
greatness, fairly drove him away,
after which, as if ho would find a
lodge in some vast wilderness, ho
went over the mountains and took
rofugo at Stoekbridge, on tho banks
of tho Housatonio, whore there was
a mission to the Indians, with a few
sottlers from eastern Massachusetts,
and tho records ted us that a meet
ing of tho town ( not of the church,
for in those days there was hut ono
church, which was established by
law, and tho town was to provide
for its support! held on Fob. 22, 1750
(when, perhaps, down in old Vir
ginia,- Goorgo Washington was celo
brating his eighteenth birthday), it
was voted that “in ease Rev. Jona
than Edwards should settle with
them in tho work of tho ministry”
he should receive the sum of £6 15s.
4d. per year—about £25. It is com
forting to know that ho was assured
in tlio contract, that it should ho
“lawful money.”
When 1 read this, I confess I could
hardly boliove it ; yot no rubbing of
oyos or of spectacles could change
tho figures. Tliero they stand as
they have stood for 146 years, for
the benefit of whosoever- may have
a curiosity to read thorn. The
amount sooins indeed incredibly
small, and perhaps was supplement
ed by a contribution from tho Eng
lish Society For tho Propagation of
tho Gospel In Foreign Parts. But so
far as tho record goes that was the
salary, and tho vvholo salary, so for
as it was paid in money. But with
this thoro was also a provision for
keeping tho minister warm. If the
people could not supply much to
stimulate him inwardly, they would
at least keep tho blood from freez
ing in his veins by keeping tho iiro
burning on his hearthstone. And ac
cordingly, with tins munificent sala
ry, it was voted also that he should
| havo 100 sleighloads of firewood, of
which tho Indians were to furnish
SO and the white sotllors 20, which
they were to chop in tho woods and
draw on sleds to his dwelling house.
With this very modest supply of
that which could buy food and cloth
ing, yet with tho firo burning bright
ly on his hearth, Jonathan Edwards
wrote hooks that will ho immortal
in tho history of his country. Plain
living and high thinking indeed.—

Wheu I'ljiCK Machines Work.
'‘Sooner or later the in ventivo gen
ius o£ Professor Langley or of Max
im will sclvo the flying machine
problem ami give us aerial naviga
tion, "said Dr. Henry D. Zellnrs of
Boston. “But. tho chances are that
even if they succeed in their efforts
only a portion of mankind will care
to make excursions through tho up
per atmosphere. I have no idea that
the flying habit would become uni
versal.
“Look at tho bicycle, for in
stance. That it is tho greatest fad
of modern times everybody will ad- I
mit, and yet there are hundreds of
thousands of men and women who
will never mount awheel. The time
will never come when r.ll the popu
lation will take to cycling, So it is
that oven if a first rate flying doyieo
is perfected there will be millions
of people who will fail to use it.
But I think that we shall see people
sailing through the air in the next
decade, for 1 have great faith in the
practicability of the idea and in tho
men who are striving for its devel
opment. ’’ —Washington Post.
