The New York Herald thus tells how Patti was btought out: " One day close on forty years ago I happened to meet the late Maurice Stra- kosch in some pihno warerooms in Toronto, Canada. " I have just been telling a friend here," said he to nie when I entered, " that I have had for some time under my instruction a little relative of mine, not yet out of short dreales, a sister of my wife, who is destined to become one of the greatest singers in the world. She is scarcely 10 years of age, bat so phenomenal is her voice het exe- cution and her musical genius generally that I have already brought' her out in con- cert and am now arrauging for her appear. ace at "Hamilton in conjunction with Ole Bull, Mme. Strakosch and myself. Come • and hear her and one day when we meet again you will tell nie that I prophesied truly." Years rolled by and Petti was in the zenith of her fame when Strakosch and I met again, but this time in New York and on the oceasion of his last visit to that city. With Wondrous tenacity of mernory he re- ferred to our conversation of long ago re- garding the famous Spanishdivae HOPE CUMMING MADE EASY. A Device Invented for the Use of Firemen and Paint s. A device patented by' French inventor is designd to facilitate rope climbing, while at the same time permitting' the climber to have the free hse of his hands, says the Philadelphia Record. The apparatus con- sists of two boards joined by,a, strong hinge, with a hole passing through both the hinge and the boards. • The extremities of the .boards are provided with straps, which can be fastened to the feet of the man using the device. The method of climbing by this apparatus is simple. When the feet at- tached to the boards. are lifted the rope is faIse, but the moment the feet are pressed down on the two boards the rope'is .firmly 'gripped. It is necessary. therefore only to lift the body by both hands as far as pos- sible, and then it can be held by the hinged clamps until another lift,is made. By the use of a belt t� hold the body close to4he rope .the hands may be left free. This de- vice is designed especially for the use of firemen and painters, also to serve as a fire - escape.

The Great St. Bernard, Founded Nearly a Togra Ago. Thie asyllim for the 'Alpine wayfarer - 7,600 feet above the sea level -is said to heve bree. A. 96bx §t.

Neither saint notefttperOr is likely to make good his claim, arr the archives of the hospice -have been com- ome 'eider .01thstl- gratiOns. But, like other Christian insti- tutions, it had 'undoubtedly a pagan predecessor. 'The Romans, on the self- same epot, built a temple to the Penine Jove, and that in turn occupied the site of a still earlier shrine of prehistoric an- tiquity. The truth is, the Alpine passes were in common use from the rerriotest ages -the Christian world treading the same route which has been trodden by the Romans, who also availed themselves of the „track made by the aborigines. Ab the highest point the tutelary deity had his place of worship, and this was served by the local priesthood, wlecyrendered assistance to the distressed or ailing traveller and received votive tributes in return for its good offices. The existence of a temple of Jupiter on the spot, with its Btaff of priests, is well known ; and the relics that have turned up near it attest its uses to have been similar to these of the present hospice. ,A discovery of importance has just been made in its vicinity -a bronze statue in ex- cellent preservation of Jupiter himself, says the London Lancet. Its artistic value is very great ; its height forty centimeters, At the same time other treasure trove was brought to the shrface, including a number of medals and aestatuette of a lion measur- ing sixteen centimeters, also of fine work- manship. Thee are now the property of the monks, and will attract to the hospice a public more able to keep thein in funds than the proper recipients of their kind- ness. Sad to relate, tne revenues of the monas- tery, heavily drawn upon by the, travelers (from 16,030 to 20,000 annually) who throw themselves on its bounty, are diminishing, the coutributions left by these conatertably accommodated guests being milbrably below what, .in the majority of cases, they can afford. The heroism of the monkashould be remembered by -the well-to-do holiday visitor. They begin their career at the age of 18 or 19. • After fifteen years' service the severe climate has made old inen of them. For eight or nine months out of the twelve they see none but the poorest wayfarers, when the col.d is intense, the snow lying deep, the dariger from the storms incessant and fearful. Their sole companions are the dogs, whose keen scent has 'guided them to the ender wreath under which the buried traveller has so often been rescued and •brought to life -dogs like that noble fellow "Barry," who saved forty men in his time and who now, carefully stuffed, adorns the museum at Berne. .

Judge Doherty rendered an important judgment yesterday in actions taken by the late legal firm of Loranger & Beaudin, to recover fees and disbursements from one of their former clients named Filiatrult. After notifying this client, 'while a suit was in progress, ,that they ceased to act for him, they took out the present actions, to which the defendant pleaded that they could not claim fees while the case was still pending e that their relinquishment of the case caused him considerable damage, and that the Prothonotary had no right to tax them at this stage of the, proceedings. In adjudi- cating upon the merits of the case the court held that lawyers have no right of action for costs before a suit is ended or settledaandathatishe mere fact of withdraw- ing from the case, with a notice to the client, does not give a right of action that would not otherwise exist. The action must, therefore, be dismissed as regards the costs, but plaintiffs are entitled to recover their disbursements.-Monereal Witness. "MOMMOM. INE BEARDED OAT GOULD.

Probably the oldest Bible in Philadelphia lies upon the book -shelf of Hugo Roeger, of 2,560 Geiser street. 1' The rare old tome was printed in Wittenberg, Germany, by Hans Stufft in 1577, just i• little over 30 years after the death of Martin Luther. Only the books of the Old Testament have been spared by Father Time, but these are set forth in good old German print, with elab- orate illustrations. The record of its varied fortunes is inscribed upon its pages where appear the signatures of the different owners through whose hands it has passed. As the first Bible printed in the German language was issued only about 1540, this old script is undoubtedly one of the earliest Bibles. A man is obliged to breathe seven hogs heads of air in a day. 'Ai‘celt,110-1-^ HEIR TO MILLIONS. A Fifeshire Estate to be Distributed. Mr. J. D. MacInnes, whose whereabouts have for a icing time been unknown to his relatives, and who has been advertised for in nearly all the leading newspapers of the Pacific Coast, came down from Port Simpson on the Eliza Edwards, His friends seemed to be more solicitous for his welfare than he did himself for they wished to find him that they might bestow on him a fifth interest in a Scotch estate valued at $6,000,000, while he apparently did notcare whethdr he succeeded to that great fortune or not. Had it not, been for the efforts of the Hudson's Bay agent at Port Simpson who saw the advertisement in a Seattle paper and who corresponded with the solicitor at Duinferieline • who was con- ducting the affairs of the family, he would still have r•ernained engineer of the steamer Nell in the northern British Columbia waters. The estate to which Mr. MacInnes is one of the heirs is situated in Fifeshire, Scotland, and was left by a grand aunt. His grandfather left Scotland for Cape Breton,Ca nada, with his family' many years ago. He had a family of five, three daugh- ters, now in Cape Becton, and two sons, J. D., and one, now in Denver. Mr. J. D. MacInnes learned the trade of an engineer, and came to Puget Sound some years ago, and then went to Port Simpson. His father aud grandfather are now both dead, and the five remain the heirs of the grand aunt and will share alike in the iminense estate. Mr. MacInnes has not yet decided what he will eventually de, but he is now on his way to his brother in D.,:nver, Col., who is lthe owner of mining properties there, and is fairly prosperous. His extreme good fortune does not seem to have affected Mr. Maclemes to any great extent, and he is in no hurry to 'come into his inheritance, and says he does not know anything about the family history and may be back running an engine a,gain.'

Nothing, so quickly brings sleep as • the voluntary disposal of the body and limbs in such fashion as to produce muscu- lar relaxation. The legs and arms should ° be se placed as to bring them in contact with the mattress at as many points as possible. This affords support and relieves the muscles. The body should be disposed in like fashion, and if all has been done properly the wooer of sleep will presently have the consciousness of resting with his whole'w6gfit directly upon the mattress. When once this feeling comes sleep usually follows. The plan is far better than the old One of repeating the. numerals or going e over some meaningless series of words, for it has the double advantage of putting the physical men into an attitude of repose and of distracting the mind from whatever thoughts are at enmity with sleep. -New York Sun. 13ish Austin,. of British Guiana, who is eighty-five years old, almost, entered iipon the fiftieth year of hise.ptscopate last week.
