The Iron Age says that wedge or

to those who attributed the first use OF
IRON to date not much more than
2.9O) years back, how such sharp and
we'll defined hieroglyphics could have
been cut on porphyry. granite and the
hnrdest stono as are found ON the

found in the great pyramid shows that
this metal was produced aud wrought
In the age Of King Cheops, whio6 is

CHURCH DISCIPLINE The severit y
with which Archbishop Manning is en-
forcing his will upon the Catholics 10
England is shown by the faot that in
the recent "Catholio Directory" pub
lished in London, the name Of Lord
Camoys has been stricken from the
list of Catholic peers. Lord Canoys
has for long time been one of the
most celebrated Of Catholic nobIemen.
When Archbishop Manning published
bis letter on the Vatican DEGREES, his
lordship dissentcd from the Episcopal
construction of the doctrine of Papai
infaliibility. The Arch hb,shop conse.
quently replies by striking his name
from the list of Catholic peers, thus
virtually certifying to the world that
he no longer recognizes him as mem
