How RED Hot IRON MAY DE HANDLED
Mons Fontenelle, President de la Sociese des
Sciences Physques ct Chemques de Paris, etc, has
the following on record:
About the year 1900 one Lionette, Span
lard, astonished not only the ignorant, but
chemists and other men of science in France,
Germany. Italy and England by the impunity
with which he handled red hot iron and mott
en- lead, drank boiling oil, and performed other
feats equally miraculous. While he was ut
Naples he attracted the notice of Professor
Senenteni, who narrowly watched all his
operations, and endeavored to discover his
secret. He observed, in the first place, that
when Lionette applied piece of red hot iron
to his hair dense fumes Immediately rose from
it, and the same occurred when he touched his
foot with the iron. He also saw him place o
rod of iron, nearly red hot, between his teeth
without hurting himself, drink the third of q
tablespoonful of boiling oil, and, taking up
molten lead with his fingers, place it on his
tongue without apparent Inconvenience. Sem
enteni's efforts, after performing several ex-
periments upon himself, were finally crowned
sulphuric acid, diluted with water, the skin
might be made insensible to the action of
the heat of red hot iron; solution of alum,
evaporated until 1t became spongy, appeared
to be more effectual in these frictions. After
having rubbed the parts which were thus rem
dered, in some degree, incombustibie, with
hard soap; no discovered on the application Of
hot iron that their insensibility was increased.
He then determined on ag lin rubbing the
parts with soap, and after this found that tho
hot iron not only oceasioned no pain, but that
it actually did not burn the hair. Being thus
far satisfied, the professor applied hard soap to
his tongue until it became insemsible to the
heat of the iron and after having placed an
ointment composed of soap mixed with u so
luton of alum upon it, boiling oil did not
burn it while the oil remained on the tongue
q slight kissing was heard, similar to that of
hot iron when thrust into water; the oil soon
cooled, and might then be swallowed without
danuar Several scientific men have since sue
cessfully repeated the experiments of Profess
sor Sementeni.

A remarkable missionary expedition
sailed from New York, on the 29th uit., for
Ecuador. The party consisted of six OF
the largest boys from the Catholic Protec'
tory at Westchester-a carpenter, q black
smith, machiuist, an engineer and shoe
maker and rs under the direction of Brother
fellow, of the same institution, it's intent
being to teach the natives of that country
the mechanical arts and farming. The
New York Mail says:-" All religionists
may learn from the admirable missionary
plars of the Church under whose auspices
these apostles of civilization sail"

Home REApING.-One of the most pleas
ant and noblest duties of the head of the
family is to furnish it's members with good
reading. In times which are past it was
considered enough to clothe and feed and
shelter family. This was the sum of pa
rental duty. But lately it has been found
out that wives and children have minds,
SO that it becomes u necessity to educate
the children and furnish reading for the
whole household. IL has been found out
that the mind wants food as we'll as the
body, and that it wants to be sheltered
from the pitiless storms of error and vice
by the guarding and friendly roof of intel
ligeuce and virtue. An ignorant family in
our day is an antiquated Institution. 1t
smells Of the masty past. IL is q dark spot
which the light of the modern san Of in
telligence has not reached. Let good
reading go into g home, and the very at
mosphere OF that home gradually butBurely
changes. The boys begin to grow am
bilious, to talk about men, places, princi-
pies, books, the past and the future. The
girls begin to feel new life opening be-
fore them in knowledge, duty and love.
They see new fields of usefulness and
pleasure. And so the family changes, and
out from it's numbers will go Intelligent
men and women, to fill honorable places
and be useful members of society. Let
the torch of intelligence be lit in every
household. Let the old and young vie
with each other in introducing new and
usefal topics of investigation, and in cher
ishing love of reading, study and i'm
provemeHt.

PRoDUcTs OF FRANcE.-France, with an
area of 132, 100000 acres-e2, 000,0t0 less than
Texas-prodnced in 1868 350OOO,OOO bushels of
wheat; the United States in the same year
produced but 40, 900, 900 bushels. In 1867 we
exported S., 900 900 worth of wheat to England,
W bile France exported S11 coo 600 of butter
alone to spread upon it; or more butter in
money value than all our breadstuffs together.
France produced 230,000,000 bushels of oats
against nc, 100000 for the United States; TO-
GOO 600 bushels rye against our 90 100000; co.,
O00, 900 bushels barley against our IL, 600 600;
and 80, 000, 900 bushels buckwheat against our
100000. And though her grazing area and
she had 4 900 900 horses and mules against QUE
4,250000; l2 600 900 of cattle to our 10 OOO, OOO
and 81, 0O0, 600 sheep to our "a ,O00, 000 Weregard
the smaller agricultural industries in this
country of little value, and not deserving
serious attention but France exported to
England alone in 1866 as much in value of eggs
as we did of bacon and ham to all the world.
France has territory that divides but three
and half acres to each inhabitant, while ours
divides more than fifty. In all her industries,
in fact, France proves moro than match for
cotton and tobacco and there we rest. For the
year 1868 her imports were $679,000,O 900, and
her exports 1881 ,00O, 900; while for the same
year the imports of the United States were
1881 ,OOO0 600, and the exports SAL ,000, 900, of
which $4,000, 600 was gold and silver, and
$l63, 100000 cotton; and as France exported
neither of these, there was really but sos ,CO0,
600 left to represent the whole product of oar
agricultural and manufacturing industry for
export, against the 1851 900 600 which repre-
sent the exports of France. Two ffths of the
population reside in the cities and three-1ftbs
in the country and more than two thirds of
the people own the houses they occupy, and
two-thirds of the entire area is under yearly
cultivation. This is because of that minute
subdivision of land which gives 50 many free
holds to the people, and makes the once vast
idle estates of the mobiles forever impossible.
The law rigidly divides all patrimonieS equally
among children, so that there are now over
ar in rNf tan and o=o
area. France has a population of $4,000, 600,
and that of tho United States is about the
same. Who can question the ability of the
first nation in Europe, industrially considered,
to rise triumphant from it's recent military re-
verses, and resume her former place and infiu-
ence among the nationsf

SPLENDID VEsTMENTs.-One of the hand
soonest prizes to be offered at the Fair for
the Louisiana Retreat Asylum for Insane,
which commences tomorrow evening at
Odd Fellows Hall, is the splendid suit OF
vestments which is to be presented to the
priest who gets the highest number OF
votes for it. The elegance of this prize
may be inferred from the fact that it cost
eleven hundred dollars.
We have heard the names Of two very
estimable clAgymen brought up in this
connection-Rev. Fathers Hubert and AL
len. Father Allen is known, and very
favorably, to almost every Catholic in the
city. His remarkable energy and earnest
ness give him place in public opinion
above mere popularity.
On the other hand, Father Hubert has a
host of friends. His confessional is always
crowded, his labors among the people, out
side of his religious house, give him an ex-
tended acquaintance, and, above all his
military record, make him q dangerous OPP
ponent. 1t is we'll known that Father Hu-
bert was the first chaplain in tho Confeder-
ate army, and remain identified with it as
long as the army existed.
Whichever gets the prize will richly
merit it. ~

Archdiocese, of New Orleans.

The Rev. Pastors and other priests having
charge of churches and chapels, are re-
quested to remind the faithful that the col
ections at every mass In every church on
Christmas day, will be for the benefit Of
the Diocesan Seminary.
:. The Qsev. Clergy are also requested to
remind the faithful that this collection is
the principal resourse of the diocese for the
Seminary that the supports of the students
preparing for the priesthood, whether at
ut the grand Seminary, or at the smaller
ones, entails very heavy expenses; that
this work is the moat important Of all, en-
tirely in the interest of the faithful and
that therefore, all Catholics should consider
it their bounden duty to contribute accord
ing to their means.

Christmas.

One week from to. morrow we shall ceie-
brate the most joyful festival Of the whole
year. Christmas IL pre-eminently the sea-
son of rejoicing and merry-making, the fes-
tival of tho homo as we'll a. Of the Church.
The joyful character of the event CONNIE
morated made 30 strong an impression
upon the popular heart in the good old
ages Of Faith that even now, in the days
Of unbelief, the tradition still fingers in tho
human family, and Christmas 10 recognized
a. the conventional season for rejoicing by
all-whether faithful or unfaithful, whether
believing or scofing.
As to the true spirit of rejoicing that
ought to exist, it 10 to be feared that it 10
in some respects nearly AZ much wanting
nowadays a. it was at Bethlehem on the
great occasion Of which We now celebrate
the anniversary. Mary and Joseph and a
few humble shepherds Of all the great
throng gathered together in that ancient
city on that day, alone rejoiced, giving
thanks to God. All the others might have
done the same, for Mary had wandered
through their streets, seeking > shelter where
abe could safely give birth to her child, bat
the wealthy were Arst listened to in their
pride, and the Giver Of wealth was not re-
cognixed in the modest petition. People
bowed down to worldly rank, they hasten
ed to incommode themselves and mako
room for the rich who were crowding into
their town and could pay for the accommo-
dation, but their eyes rested not on the
shivering young woman about to become .
mother, and they turned the Angel Of Sod
away from their door.
Now, even at this very Christmas, per-
hsps some persons viii make similar
blunder. Perhaps they will stretch forth
their jeweled hands to welcome the rich
and great to their warm hearth and loaded
board. But the guardian angel Of those
visitors will not enter with them, for it is
the body only and not the soul that is
really welcomed by the host. Others again,
and we hope that they are not as few, nor
all of them 90 poor, as the shepherds Of
Bethlehem, will welcome some poor ncigh-
Dor and send her home with comforts that
shall rejoice her household. Into such hos
pitable houses, when the poor are brought
in with these motives, the Angel Of God
will enter with them.
Truly he will not 60 away without leav-
ing more than he will take.

The satirists of society have often and
again deried the excess of fashion, and
have dilated upon their evil effects, physi-
cal as we'll as moral. 1t is certain that
many of the practices resorted to by ladies
of fashion to either stimulate a beauty which
Nature has denied them, or perpetuate q
beauty which they have possessed, and
which they see to be fading away, whether
of face or form, are followed not seldom
by disease, occasionally by sudden death,
the health. The delicate skin is coroded
and diseased by preparations which have
the temporary effect of Frightening or ap-
parently softening it; and poisons, offered
to the feminine public by impudent quacks,
are sometimes found to produce terrible re-
suits on the system. The lesson against
tight-lscing has been taught again and
again by saddest warnings; and it is a
sober fact, and net an "incident" Of melo-
drama, that young girls as we'll as ladies of
doubtful years, have died, and do die, by
sudden congestions caused by this habit,
than which none could be more recklessly
defiant of the laws of Nature. But the
victims of fashion are twofold-its votaries
and it's handmaidens. 1t is not SO widely
known as it should be, that disease and
death are often the doom incurred by the
poor creatures whose task it is to minister
TO the fantastical demands of the fashion
able world. This is not only the fact with

quickly wear away their lives in close, ILL
ventilated rooms, amid a perpetual heat
and desperation of hurry over wedding
dounces and opera capes; the case is yet
more serious with those whose lot has cast
them into certain mysterious trades, where
in they manufacture gewgaws demanded
by the capricious goddess of West Ends"
every where. "A recent detailed report in
London paper has given a shocking account
of one of these trades-that of making the
imitation leaves which adorn the bonnets
80 temptingly displayed in the spacious
windows of the milliners a la mode. These
leaves are manufactured by the application,

poison-of poison 80 deadly that the poor
children who use it are often made blind,
and almost IS often die of it's contact. The
art itself is slow death and high brides
are given to those who can be persuaded
to undergo it. The cruelty of parents who
can force their children TO learn such q
trade is unutterable; and yet yarents are
found who do this. And this is only one of
many trades which involve mortality in the
mysteries of their art, and which are forced
upon the desperately poor by the luxuri-

the workshops, where rank poisons saturate
their victims, and speedily eat away their
lives.

We copy the following article from late
number of the North,cestern Chronicle, q
very interesting and able Catholic weekly,
published in st. Paul, MINI. The remarks
in the Rev. gentlemsn's letter to Mr.. Deve-
reux are as applicable to this locality as to
the place from which he writes. Here, in
this city, in the face of the commands and
exhortasious of our jealous priests, it is
very common to zee Catholic boys and girls
absorbed in the perusaf Of some immoral
story published in one or the other of the
infamous New York weekiies to which he
alludes. So eager are these youths to i'm
papers, that they acquaint themselves ex-
actly as to the hour of the arrival of the
New York mails, and having procured their
prize, read the stories it contains while
walking the streets OF riding in the street.
cars. And this is done either with the
sanction or through the Indifference of
parents who call themselves Catholics:
To show the thirst for Catholic literature,
the yearnings and the earnest desires which
animate the members OF certain Catholic
communities for the circulation of Catholic
journals, we publish the following ex-
tract from q humiliating confession which
