The French Cabinet and the Religious
Orders.
LONDON, Sept. 21.-The Paris correspondent
of the Times says that at the Cabinet Council
yesterday it was agreed that proceedings against
the nOn-recognized orders should be gradual

provoke legal conflicts. The idea of conven-
ing the Chambers before the usual time was
rejected. The Ministry of Worship was offer

that the appointment might be made the sub

He Tumhled te 1t.

On one of the morning trains over the Erie
road the other day farmer-looking man
walked the length of car without finding an
empty seat, and he slowly returned to one
occupied by lone man, who at once spread
himself out as much as possible, and suddenly
became deeply interested in his newspaper.
The farmer halted beside the seat, but the
other made no movement. Even after full
minute had passed there was no sign that he
meant to share his quarters with the other.
Then the farmer touched his arm and said:
"If you can hang on long enough you'll make
fortune"
"what-what's that, sr?'' demanded the
other as he looked up.
Its big thing-hang on to it," whispered
the farmer.
''What is it? What do you mean, sir?''
81 tumble;. but l won't give it away"
chuckled the farmer.
''What do you mean, sir?,'
81 mean that you've got the biggest corner
ON the hog market ever known in this country
and if you don't make million dollars out of
it I'll eat Goldfish for year.
Half of that seat was suddenly vacated, but
the farmer preferred to stand up and brace
against the stove.-Wall Street News.
