No country in the world perhaps presents
more striking proofs of the evil of exces-
sive forest-clearing than the khanate of
Bokhara. Thirty years ago the khanate was
well wooded and watered, and was regard
ed by Central Asians as sort of terrestrial
paradise. Abont twenty five years ago the
mania of forest-clearing was begun and
continued until the heavy timber had en-
tirely disappeared. What the improyi-
dence and Ignorance of the rulers SHARED.
was utterly consumed by the fury of civil
war;. Immense tracts of land once we'll
peopled and cultivated, deprived of ferti-
lizing moisture, are now barren, treeless
wastes. The water courses being dried up.
the system of canals, which spread like a
network over the khanate, has been rem
dered useless. The moving sands of the
desert, no longer restrained by the forest
barriers, are slowly advancing, filling IN
canals and dried water courses, and will
continue their noiseless and ceaseless in
Vasion until the whole khanate will be
converted into dreary waste as barren as
the wilderness separating it from Khiya.
IL is improbable that the khan possesses
either the energy or tho means necessary
ior avertlng the desolation with which his
territories are threatened.

Sale OF the Propaganda Property, Rome, BY tho
Italian Government

| The London Tablet, of the 18th August
announces another dastardly act of robbery
and bad faith on the part of the Italian
Government, and one which will be severely
felt throughout the Catholic world. 1t
says:
On Saturday, il spite of the protest of all,
the procurators of the foreign Bishops, the
property of the Propaganda was put up for
sale: We have thought it best to wait for
further and more exact particulars of this
outrage and injury to the Catholic Church
throughout the world before dealing with
it in detail, as we intend to do. B5t this
much we must say at once. The promises
made by the Italian Government at the
time OF it's invasion of Rome, and repeated
by Signor Visconti Venosta on more than
one occasion in reply to the Representations
or foreign diplomatists, were calculated and
intended to make the world believe. that
the seizure of the temporal sovereignty of
the Holy See would not involve any inter-
ference with the machinery through which
the spiritual administration and work of the
Cnurch Is carried on at home and abroad.
The blow now struck at the Propapanda
strikes at Catholic Missions througho1t the
world not only in heather lands, but in |
countries like our own, together with all |
our colonies and dependencies, and the
United States as wcil. The solemn as
surances of King Victor Emmanuel and his
government are perfidiously broken, and
we have another and a tremendous preof

against the Holy See, of which the crime of

One OF the most thrilling adventures (the
most thrilling in itself, and probably fatal
In its results) which has ever been expe-

west of Asbury chapel. On Sunday morn

rode the horse off to water, leaving the
honse about o'clock in the morning: The
hours passed along until near O'Clock in
tne afternoon, and James had not returned.
His folks then became uneasy about him,
and set out to look for him. After going
through the pasture for some distance they
found him lying in an unconscious condi-
tlon on the brow of a mineral hole, the
back of his head cat very badly. They
picked him up and conveyed him home,
where in short time his consciousness re-
turned, and when he got so he could speak
