The Hody Walled I'p In a Temporary
Tomb I ntll It la Pat la the Crypt.
Few saw the pevne wbich followed
wheu the good pope's body had lain
four days iu state aud was then placed
ill its coftln at night, to be hoisted high
and swung noiselessly into the tem]K}-
rary tomb above the small door 011 the
east side—that is, to the left of the
Chapel of the Choir. It was for a long
time the custom that each pope should
lie there until his successor died, when
his body was removed to the monument
prepared for it in the meantime, and
the pope just dead was laid iu the same
place.
The church was almost dark, and
ouly in the Chapel of the Choir and that
of the Holy Sacrament, which are op-
posite each other, a number of big wax
candles shed a yellow light. In the
niche over the door a mason was still at
work, with a tallow dip, clearly visible
from below. The triple coffins stood be-
fore the altar intheChajiel of the Choir.
Opposite, where the body still lay, the
Noble guards and the Swiss guards, iu
their breastplates, kept watch with
drawn swords and liallierds.
The Noble guards carried the bi< r on
their shoulders in solemn profession,
with chanting choir, robed bishops and
tramping soldiers, round by the Confes-
sion and aertiss the church and lifted
the body into the coffin. The jiope had
been very much Iteloved by all who were
near him, end more than one gray
haired prt lale shed tears of genuine
grief that night.
In the coffin, iu accordance with an
ancient custom, a ba;,' was placed con-
taining W3 medals, «>!:•' of gold, one of
silver and one of bronze for each of the
31 years during which Pope Pius had
reigned, and a history of the pontili-
cate, written on parchment, was also
deposited at the fort of the body.
Win 11 the leaden coffin was soldered,
six seals were placed upon it, five by
cardinals and one by the archivist of th<-
Chapter of St. Peter's. During the
whole ceremony the protbonotary apos-
tolic, the chancellor of the apostolic
chamber and the notary of the Chapter
of St. Pet> r's were busy, pen in hand,
writing down the detailed protocol of
the proceedings.
The last absolution van pronounced,
and the coffin in its outer Case of elm
wai slowly moved out and raised in
(.lings and gently swung into tli.» niche.
The maseiis brick'd up the opening in
the prt'cnce of cardinals anil guaids,
and long before midnight the marble
slab, carved to reprt sent the side of a
sarcophagus, was in its place with its
simple insci iptiou. "Pius IN, i\ SI."—

A woman takes
r step upward
when she be-
comes a mother.
She achieves
the thing for
which she was
created. No
other work that
she can do in
the world is so
=='■- great or so flood
• as the bearing of
bright, healthy,
useful children.
The mothers of
such children
mate the world
better. Nobody
in all life and history has ever done any-
thing half so good as this. It is something
to which a woman may well devote herself,
atid may well make every preparation to
preform successfully. It is an exploded the-
ory that baby must come with great pain and
suffering. A woman who will properly pre-
pare herself for the time of parturition by
using I)r. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
during the entire period of gestation will
find all of the danger and much of the suf-
fering eliminated. She will find also that
her baby will be healthy, and that she her-
self will be strong and well in a remarkably
short time. This is the only medicine in
the world that will do this thing, and it will
do it certainly and infallibly. '"The Fa-
vorite Prescription" is a positive specific
for all forms of female weakness and dis-
ease. It is designed to benefit just one set
of organs, and that it does do this to a won-
derful degree is attested by thousands of
letters similar to that of Mrs. I,. H. Huff, of
Mountairy, Surry Co., N. C., who writes :
" About 18 months apro I began taking Doctor
Pierce's Favorite Prescription and was greatly
benefited by it. X have been for seven or eight
years a great sufferer from ' female weakness,'
jjastralgia, etc. I tried the best doctors but ob-
tained no relief. X was taking medicine all the
time. Could not be up unless I was under the in-
fluence of medicine. Since taking your medi-
cine I have net taken any from any other doctor.
Before I began taking your medicine my weight
was from 125 to 130 pounds, now I weigh "from 175
to 183. Everybody says they never saw such a
change in any one."
For biliousness, constipation, palpitation of the
heart, sick and bilious headaches, sour stomach,
foul breath, heart burn and flatulence, there is 110
certain and positive cure except Doctor Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets. They are tiny, sugar-conted
granules, forty of which are contained in a little
two-inch vial. Druggists sell them—twenty-fiv
cents. It is dangerous to accept a substitute

gunpowder made of different materials
is undergoing successful experiment. A
mixture of naltjietor and charcoal alone
would form an explosive, and sulphur
is lidded chiefly to make it plastic 01
capable of being pressed into cakes and
shapes. All three ingredient* have to be

Kkill before tiny are combined. Then
an exact proportion of each has to be

Would litid in every 100 pounds, if you
could wjiarate tlio ingredients, 75
jioainls of saltjs tcr, 15 pounds of char-
coal aud 10 pounds of sulphur, but it
would be almost impossible to separate
the ingredients, for they are not merely
mixed together as you might mix pep
per and salt, but they are ground and
rolled and stirred and pressed together
by sjxcial machines until they are al-
most sufficiently united to form a sin-
y!e new substance.
This mixing process is called tritu-
ration, and tho powder is thus made
into the form of big flat cakes, called
press cakes, and then broken up and
screened-into grains of special sizes, or
ground to the fine powder used for shot-
guns and revolvers. The large grained
powders are still further stirred together
until the grains become highly glazed,
and these are called cannon powders. A
lighted match may be held to a grain of
cannon powder and it will be found al-
most impossible to ett it on fire, but
once ignited it flashes off very suddenly
ui.d violently.—Lieutenant John M.
Idiicolt in St. Nicholas.
Potatoes.
Have you ever tried cooking potatoes
in lard like doughnuts? Select the
■mailer potatoes and peel and drop them
into boiling fat. They will come to the
surface when they are cooked and
should be drained on brown paper. The
potatoes may be rolled in beaten eggi
and bread crumbs before cooking them
if desired.

HElt PEOPLE.
Texas is a cosmopolitan state,
but native Americans predomin-
ate. The negro population of the
state is small compared to other
southern states and the "race
problem'' cuts no figure here. The
state is settled largely with immi-
grants from different parts of the
Union, those from the southern
and western states predominating.
LAWB.
The laws of Texas are made for
her own people and are the most
liberal, equitable and just any-
where.
HOMEBTEAD LAWB
Are the most liberal, and her col-
lection laws the most lenient to be
found in any state in the Union.
These laws not only provide
against misfortune, but give the
family a guarantee against waste-
ful ^extravagance and bad manage-
ment on the part of the husband.
The following extracts from the
state constitution will give an idea
of the protection which the state
throws around a family:
"Art. 17, Sec. 49. The legisla-
ture shall have power, and it shall
be its duty, to protect by law from
forced sale a certain portion of the
personal property of all heads of
families, and also of unmariied
adults, male and female.
TAXATION
! Is iiglit, our state ad valoruiu tax
j is now 20 cents on the £100, aud
tour state school tax is lis ceuts
I on the ijlOO. County taxes do not
j often reach f>0 cents on the ¥100.
LAND.
Improved lands are worth from
?10 to £50 per acre.
i Our lands produce a greater va-
riety of crops than can be found in
j almost any other county. They
; have the rare advantage of bring-
ing both wheat and cotton crops—
something not found in many
j places.
KOADS.
Good roads reach into every sec-
I tion of the county and sulmtuntia;
! bridges span all streams.
EDUCATION.
We have ninety public schools
in the county outside the city of
Gainesville—eighty-six white and
four colored. These schools run
on an average of six month [each
year.
"Sec. 50.—The homestead *of a
family shall l>e and is hereby pro-
tected from forced sale for pay-
ment of all debts except for the
pnrchase of money, the taxes due
thereon, or for work and material
used in constructing improve?
inents thereon, and in this last
case only when the work antl ma-
terial are contracted for in writ-
ting, with the consent of the wife
given in the same manner as is
required in making a sale and
conveyance of the homestead; noi
shall the owner, if a married man,
sell the homestead without the
consent of the wife given in such
manner as may lie prescribed by
law.
"No mortgage trust, deed or
other lien on the homestead shall
ever be valid, except for the pur-
chase money thereof, improve-
ments made thereon as hereinbe-
fore provided, whether such mort-
gage or trust deed or other lien
shall have been created by the hus-
band alone or together wilh his
wife; and all pretended sales of
the homestead involving any con-
dition of defeasance shall be void.
"Sec. 51.The homestead nit in a
town or city, shall consist of not
more than 200 acres of land, which
may be in one or more parcels,
with the improvements thereon;
the homestead in a city, towD or
village shall consist of a lot or
lots not to exceed in value $5000

a homestead without reference to

THE WAGEB
of the laboring man, whether mar-
ried or not, are as sacred as the
household.
Section 28 of Art. 1(5 of the con-
stitution reads: "No current
wages for personal service shall
ever be subject to garnishment."
The statutes exempt the follow-
ing personal property from forced
sale:
"All household and kitchen fur-
niture. All implements of hus
bandry. All tools, apparatus and
books belonging to any trade or
profession. The family library
and all family portraits and pic-
tures. Five milk cows and their
calves. Two yoke o' work oxen,
with necessary yokes and chains.
Two horses and one wagon. One
carriage or buggy. One gun.
Twenty head of t heep. All sad-
dles, bridles and harness necessary
for use of the family. All pro-
visions and forage on hand for
home consumption, and atl current
wages for personal services
To all single persons are re-
served: "All wearing appaiel, all
tools, apparatus and books be-
longing to any trade or profession.
One horse, saddle and bridle. All
current wages for personal ser-
vices."
Wherever the people's homes
are safe there will patriots be
found. Hence tramps and l>eggars
are not so common among us as in
other countries.
COOKE COUNTY.
Cooke is one ot the northern tier
oi counties and is separated from
the beautiful Indian Territory on
• lie north by lied river.
It is a splendid farming section
and is also well adapted to stock-
raising.
The soil of the county is about
equally divided black waxey, Han-
dy and red sandy. About one-
half the county is timber and the
balance prairie w ithKreams run-
ning through it, on which can be
found excellent timber and water
