EARTHQUAKES.

It is estimated that not less than thirteen
millions of the human race have persisted
by earthquakes. The terrible convulsion
of nature which has recently buried in
ruins numerous cities and towns on the
western coast of South America, brings
freshly to remembrance similar awful WIS.,
itations in times past. Even if the horrors
of ancient earthquakes seemed lessened to
the mind through the long lapse of years,
the records of more recent ones are still
thrilling. Among those which stand out
prominently in history is one which occurred
a little more than two hundred years ago,
in 1862, where 3OO, 600 persons were buried
in the city of Pekin alone. In 1893 Sicily
was visited by a great earthquake which
overturned fifty-fOur cities and three hun
dred villages, destroying 100000 lives.
Probably there have been no earthquakes
equal in intensity to those which ravaged
different parts of the world in the eight
eenth century. According to the records,
100000 persons were again swallowed up
at Pekin in 1871 in 1855, 10000 persons
are believed to have persisted in six min
utes at Lisbon; abont 10000 lives were
lost in Calabria in 1888, and nearly the
same number were, in l797y'buried in an
instant by an earthq quake which destroyed
the whole country between Santa Fe and
Panama.
During the present century these fearful
visitations have frequently occurred in
DOth nemlSpnereS. Inc valley OF the Mis-
sissippi was violently shaken during the
year 1911 over an extent of country three
hundred miles in length !; IN 1912 Caracas,
the capital of Venezuela, was reduced to a
heap of ruins, beneath which 1900 of the
inhabitants persisted indeed, both in South
and Central America, earthquakes have
been working fearful destruction. In 1922
and in 1885 Chilli experienced desolating
shocks Quito, in Ecuador, was entirely
destroyed in 1859, and in 1858 Mexico
suffered severely. Naples and surrounding
towns were shaken in 1883; the city OF
Mendoza, in the Argentine Republic, was
destroyed with many thousands of the in
habitants in 1861; and still more recent
earthquakes in MexicosSan Francisco, ST..
Thomas and other parts of the West Indies
and in the Sandwich Islands, are fresh in
| the minds of all.
In this latest calamity, the details OF
which would fill many columns, the whole
western coast of South America has severely
suffered. All the dreary facts may moi
come to our knowledge for weeks, and it is
to be hoped that the appalling accounts
have been exaggerated. Yet there is rea-
son to believe that not less than twenty
towns have been ruined, so, 600 lives lost
and property destroyed to the amount o
three hundred millions of dollars. africa

THE CHRISTIAN BROTHERS SCHOOL AT PARIS.

The Christian Brothers schools date
from the year 1903, when the first Sunday
school was established in the parish of St.
Sulpice with two hundred pupils. The
in the year 1903, and in the year 1915
Father Philip, who is now the Superior
General, established in the school of Auray
(Morbihan) n course of lectures to prepare
young men for the dockyards, and for the
coasting trade (cdJotdge.) Into this he in
troduced the elements of geometry and
other sciences connected with their profess
sions, and he himself composed some text
books to facilitate the studies. In the year
1880, at the instance of the Government,
which was occupied with the amelioration
of the condition of the working classes,
schools for adults were opened by the
Christian Brothers in Paris. Other adult
schools, conducted on the same plan as
those at Paris, have been established at
Nancy, Cambria, st. Omer, Orleans, ROuen,
Lille, Clermont and several other towns in
France but there is one at Nolvic pay
de- Domel which is particularly worthy of
notice. This school has been specially
adapted to the locality where it is situated,
which is known as furnishing q peculiar
building stone. The Brothers had had a
small primary school there for some time
without producing any noticeable results,
until they attached to it workshop for
cutting and sculpturing stone, and induced
a couple of skilled workmen iirtiis branch
of trade to undertake the instruction of
about twenty pupils. Already many works
of merit have been completed at this estab-
lishment, and have not only been admitted
to exhibitions, but have been also employed
in the construction of large edifices. An
other example of what may be done in
furthering the industrial interests of a
locality are the boarding schools of the
Christian Brothers at Lyons and st. Etienne
the centres of the silk and ribbon weaving
trades. To these schools are attached spe-
ciaI classes, where the children are taught
not only to design, but to read and pierce
the design on the cards of the jacquard
loom, as we'll as to work the loom them
selves. Each of the schools at Lyons ant
st. Etienne was furnished with looms, ant
thus young people leaving the schools Were
not only instructed in theory but had als'
often sufficient practical knowledge to TAX
the position of foremen.

BISHOP OF LONDON AND THE RrruA11srs

The controversy now going on in the bo-
som of the English Church has its funny
side, as will be seen from the following an
ecdote of the Bishop Of London. He does
not relish paying costs of suits, even in an
Evangelical cause:
His lordship was informed by one Of the
practitioners of q rural district that the in
cumbent was carrying on practices which
immensely favored of Popery. There were
lights on the communion table, there were
flowers on the super-altar, there were en-
blematio garlands around the gas-stand-
ards, the ladies of the congregation had en-
broidered an appendum, and the litanies
were sung with q real Gregorian gusto and
>rerue. a" Butt said the bishop, Z" what can
do l" :" Send for the incumbent, and
reprove him. answered the parishioner.
The Incumbent came.
"And you are one of my disobedient
clergy 2" said the bishop.
My lord" was the reply, there is not
in yonr diocese man more amenable to
your lordship's authority
Then your obedience-your obedi-
ence 7" shouted the bishop.
taAy-obedience," answered the incum-
bent. Here is my idea of it. If l were
walking down Regent street, and happened
to block up the way, and that policeman
told me to move on, would do so that is
obedience. If the sSme policeman asked
me to take off my shirt, and walk down the
street as naked as Hottentot, would re-
fuse ; and that would be no lack of obedi-
enoe. You see, my lord"
My lord did, and ever since the Rituals
tic curate has been left untroubled.
t'I tell You what" said the Bishop of
London, cit has cost me q thousand pounds
| to prosecute one offender, and it will take a
thousand more to push the matter through
| the courts"
Since the new Privy Council orders were
issued, every bishop is compelled to prose
cute contumacy at his personal loss. Per-
haps this accounts tor the freedom enjoyed
by the twenty gorgeous Ritualistic church
es which have suddenly sprung up in Lon
don. -.

A CASE OF IRISH DRoLLKRY.

An amusing story is related of DANES
Darlington, the eminent jurist and record
er of Bristol. Having to appear for plain
tiff in a case at C1onmel, he denounced the
conduct of the defendant in unmeasur-
ed terms. Theindividual inveighed against
"a Tipperary man named Foley, not being
present, only heard of the invectives but
after Darlington had got back to Dublin,
he lost no time in paying his compliments,
in genuine Tipperary fashion, to the coun-
sell He rode all day and night, and, COW
cred with sleet, arrived early in the morn
court street, Dublin. Throwing the bride
of his smoking horse over the railing Of the
area, he announced his arrival by thun-
dering knock at the door. Barrington's
valet answered the summons, and, opening
the street door, beheld the apparition of the
rough coated Tipperary fire-eater, with a
large stick under his arm, and the sleet
sticking to his bushy whiskers.
els your master up 7" demanded the WIS.,
itor, in a voice that gave some intlmation
of the object of his journey.
"No," answered the man.
"Then give him my compliments, an d
say Mr.. 'Foley-hell know the name-will
be glad to see him."
The valet went mp stairs and gave his
master, who was in bed, the early visitors
message.
"TRen don't let MI. Foley in for your
Ille, DdilibStoh ava ~ 20 INV - iehAO
or a brace of ducks that he has come to
present me with"
The man was leaving the bedroom when
rough wet coat pushed by him, while
thick voice said:s "By your leave" and
| at the same time Foley entered the bed
room. "You know my business, sir" said
he to Darlington; I have made journey
to teach you manners, and it's not my pur
pose to return until have broken every
bone in your body !" and at the same time
he cut figure with his shillelagh before the
chevalier.
"You do not mean to say you would
murder ME in bed p exclaimed DANES,
who had as much humor as cool courage.
"No," replied the other; but I'll
throuble you to get up as soon as you can"
"Yes," replied. Danes, ain order that yon

"No," replied the other; al pledge you

nauxxu OF spAms RELIGIOUS ADv1sxRs.

The cowardly are ever ready to cast OBJ
loquy and aid in distressing those who,
from their position, size or misfortune, can
not defend themselves. The cormorants OF
the press have followed up the late Queen
of Spain with TRADE of viliicatiOn wor-
thy of craven hearts, quite regardless OF
what is due to truth or the Difference due
to female helplessness. Sir George Bowyer
has communicated to the London ISnes
the following statement regarding person
ages who are frequently alluded to in con-
nection with political affairs in Spain:
To the Editor Of the London Times: Els.
pecially at this time, when the throne OF
the Queen Of Spain is encountering most
fearful contest, justice requires that public
opinion should not be prejudiced by the
influence Of mistakes or misrepresenta-
tions.
refer to the commonly received opinion
that the Queen has been Influenced In the
government of the country by two persons,
Sister Patrocinio (who has been called the
bleeding nun) and Father Clareta, the
Queens confessor. have ascertained the
truth from the highest authority in this
country. In the first place, Sister Patro-
cinio is not bleeding nun. The only
ground for this name is as follows: Many
years ago she persuaded herself, or was
persuaded by some fanatical or designing
person, that she had received the stigmata-
that is to say, the marks of the wounds on
her hands and feet. This supposed phe-
nomenon caused some discussion, and be-
came publicly known. The Government
instituted judicial inquiry The most
eminent medical authorities were consulted.
The result was that Sister PatrOciniO was
convicted Of lending herself to an impos-
ture, and she was sentenced to a period of
penal confinement in a religious house.
She has since been q sincere penitent, and
she is now very devout and exemplary,
nun in the convent of AraDjues. The con-
vent is q royal foundation near Madrid.
The Queen naturally visits that house, and
occasionally sees Sister Patrocinio. But
Sister PatrOcinio has not the slightest infu-
ence in any political matter, and she is a
person incapable of understanding any
thing of the sort. She is entirely confined
to her deyotiOns and her conventual life.
She knows nothing whatever of the exter-
nal world, and has not an idea beyond her
prayers and her ascetic life.
AS for Monsignor Clareta, he is not per-
son of any ability or knowledge of the
world, but he is most exemplary ecclesi-
astic. He lives in the simplest manner,
practicing the strictest self-denial, and gives
all he has to the poor. His whole life is
devoted to charity and piety. He is uni
practical Christian. He is the Queens
confessor. But as for politics, lie knows
nothing ABOUT it. He is simply very
pious, simple minded clergyman, without
any idea beg ond the functions and duties
of his sacred Office. To represent him as a
political person, or as exercising any polit-
ical power or influence, is great mistake
Or a gross falsehoOd.

The broken sentences rang DULY again
and again through her brain. She gave
from her, sick and angry. Then she sank
into a quiet stupor, sitting there until the
sun was up, leaning her head against the
pine bed-post, dragging her bare toes to and
fro across the carpet. The men were gone;
the street long ago had reiapsed into silence;
in the jail, though, there was q hushed
sound now and then, that told there were
anxious watchers astir.- She knew it was

hall, waiting for daylight. When it came,
he would come to her door and knock ne

the first paralysis of pain or terror.

when it came, the snow heaped deep on hills
and streets, the wan New Years dawn
chilling the air more than the close wrap
ping night. She heard the step at last,
coming up the stone stairs, hesitating as it
neared her door. How those old slippers
of her fathers dragged! she had meant to
buy new pair for Christmas, but hadn't
money.
She looked up and nodded as he opened
the door, after tapping on the panel. So
!" Matty !" he said.
Then he came up, and sitting down on
the edge-of the bed, drew her close and
chafed her face.
"Poor child! poor little Matt"

she raised her head and said:
"Wherc is he p

ACKNOWLEDGMENT. I'VE take the first op-
poItunity to return our hearty thanks, through
the county papers, for the vigilance of about
800 persons who, within thirty minutes after
the fire in Hooks Mills, was discovered, were
on the grounds from Waynesburg, Hooks
town, AIorrisyille, Bridgeport and others, in
most promptly giving assistance to extinguish
the fire, without which the destruction OF
property and live stock would have been
immense. Respectfully.
