IN example Of tho bisotry Of these

lived In the days Of the Blue Laws OF
Connecticut, when intolerance and un-
charitableness were virtues instead Of
being u crime against civilization.
Such ~sectarinn bigotry Is dlsSraceful.
and cannot DO reprehended too Sc
verely. Christ taught Us to have char.
ity for one another lesson which
women of feeble Intellect appear to
have no conception Of. When will
people learn that UNCONVENTIONAL sccts
are OF no Importance In the estimation
Of God ; that He judges n by his ac'
a tons ; that In His eyesi 1t Is OF no conse'
auence whether a man be a Catholic OF
Protestant provided that his heart Is
pure and no eadeavors to do what he
believes to be right. We should be
tolerant to the religious faith Of our
fellow men when We remember that
some Of the most devoted, some Of the
beat and purest men who have lived
and adorned the pages Of history have
been men who were Roman Catholics.
Sectarianism we can tolerate only
when it avoids persecution, clothes It.

mote peace and concord. We neither
assail modes OF faith, nor arraign the
conscience which adopts them. nor COLI
demn any religious sect because they
exercise the privilege Of thinking for

charity for those who do.

Whisky is giving age In a variety Of
ways-by keeping 1t In casks ; BY clar-

add Its powers In the natural fermei-
mentation by increasing the quantity
OF ozone, thus o%Sygenizing its ele-
ments; but a machine has now been
presented which does In a few minutes
the work Of months the violent agl-
tation OF the particles and the extreme
division of the essential oils which
compose them, produce a change nj
most Instantly. It's construction Is In.
genlouS and promises to revolutionize
one of the largest Interests OF trade In
the world.
The machine Is large and expensive,
consisting Of two cylinders. placed one
behind the other, containing two
wheels four and one-hali feet In diam.
eter, resembling circular saws, on
which are arranged II hundred teeth
with a flat edge each. both revolving
the same way ; consequently, when
one Is going down the other Is coming
