SCHOOL AND CHURCH.

The Federal Council of Berne has
rejected the petition of the Roman
Catholics against the exclusion of the
religious orders from the public schools.
Every reader has his favorite author
and favorite passages-texts to which
he will turn in danger or sorrow with
special expectation and promises which
will seem to have been expressly writ
ten for his personal use.-Dr. Joseph
Parker.
AN unusually large number of stu
dents will enter Princeton College nexs
year. There are 140 applicants for al
mission to the freshmen class, besides
those new men who will try the fall ex-
aminations. The total addition in
numbers, including upper class men,
will amount to nearly two hundred
~ y Herald.
The wife of Mr.. Spurgeon, the IA
nous London preacher, furnishes an
apt illustration of the work a feeble
woman may do. She has long been an
invalid, but, by making photograph
frames and by other means, she has
established a shook fund.-" from which
she supplies poor ministers of various
denominations. Last year she thus
gave way over 1000 books, and in the
past six years nearly $4,000.
The Rhode Island Congregational
churches are entitled to the ''banner'-
in political phrase-for during the past
year every church in the State contrib
uted to the cause of Home Missions.
Doubtless the fact that there has been q
very general religious interest in these
churches, resulting in large accessions,
has had something to do with this
praiseworthy liberality. 1t is reported,
also, that the Congregational churches
in Vermont have contributed more for
Home missions during the past year
than ever before.-N Y Examiner.
The religious statistics of the the
United States, looked at from four diff
ferent points in the course of the pres
ent century, presents some very in
teresting and instructive features. In
the year 1900 the total population was
5,305,9 25. OF these there were Protest
ant, 1927, 052; Roman Catholic, 100,-
600; unclassitied, 3,928,S73. In 1850,
out of total population of %, 191, 1916,
there were Protestant, 2,723, 1913; RO-
man Cathoic, 1,614,000; unclassified,
S,S54,71S. In 1870, out of a population
of 1888, 81, the Protestants numbered
24,041 1856; Roman Catholics, 1900, 900;
not classified, 9,916,SS5. And in the
year 1880, out of total population
which had swelled to so, 152, 1866, there
were 36,031,974 Protestants, 6,367, 900
Roman Catholics; not classified, 7,753,-

IAN Egyptian Battalion in 400 b. C.

The formation of the battalion for
combat was as follows:
The one hundred captains formed the
front rank of the battalion, and each
captain had his one hundred men in file
behind him, a corporal at the head of
each nine men. The chief of each
thousand men was in front of the center
of his two companies, while the colonel
commanding the grand battalion was
in front of its center.
The leaders were not mounted
on horseback, but were mounted
in two-wheeled chariots, drawn,
usually, by two horses. In the
chariots were carried q supply of
of javelins and arrows for the use of the
chief, who usually had in the chariot
with him soldier, who held buckler
to cover him from the arrows of the en-
envy, while he dealt about him with his
bows and spears.
In the early days and down to the
time of Sesostris, the officers and nom
commissioned officers carried bucklers
and swords, while the private soldiers
of infantry carried each buckler and
a battle-ax. Sometimes the battle-ax
was accompanied by, and sometimes
replaced by, a spear.
It's easy to see that Moses drew from
the military organization of Egypt that
which he adopted for the Isra elites, and
later on the Greeks their formations.
Both these nations took their first lessons
in civilization and organization from
Egypt.
In the earliest monuments and rec
ords of the Egyptian army there is no
sign of the existence of the horse as a
military animal, while in the monu-
ments of the eighteenth dynasty the
war-horsc is everywhere indicated.
1t is probable that the war-horse was
first introduced by the shepherd kings,
who came in from Syria about AGO
years ago. 1t is certain that the horse
formed an important agent in the mill
tary establishment of Egypt, under the
legitimate kings of the country. LOO
years before the Christian era, and the
lack of monuments erected during the
Eve hundred years of struggle between
he shepherd kings and the Thebans
explains easily the lack of record on
thu subject. Sesostris had at one time
twety thousand war chariots in line,
DRAW by horses. -General Stone, IN

The difference between protective
tariff and revenue tariff is this: Pro-
tectlen levies higher duties on those
articles the chief value of which depends
on the labor in them, and lower duties
on those the chief value Of which is in
the material in state of nature. A
tariff for revenue only makes no such
discrimination; 1t levies that duty which
will produce the largest amount of rev.
enue, no matter what it's effects may be
on labor. Thus the present protectiv
duty on iron ore Is 70 cents per ton. La
Dor is small element on its value. On
pig iron, with larger amount Of labor,
the duty is So per ton; on bar iron $16 a
ton ;and on other forms of iron recurring
still more labor still higher rates. The
object of this Is to protect the American
labOrer against competition with the low
wages of Europe. The wages paid for
making iron in England is but little
oyer halt the wages paid here. If there
fore, O. low rate of duty be imposed, the
foreign producer will supply our market
and our producers will be thrown out of
employment, unless they will work for
European wages.
Under duty Of So a ton but little pig
iron will be imported, but with the same
duty on bar iron so much weuld be i'm
ported that none could be made here. If
the English producer brings a ton of
bar iron here he Is met with O duty of
$16, from which the American producer
is exempt, and hence be enabled to COM
man6 the American market, and still
pay labOrers here better wages than are
paid across the ocean. The protection
is none to high, In the ten months
ended April 30, 1884, the imports of bar
iron were 74,S83,034 pounds valued at
$1,514,63O. Every pound of this iron
should have beer made here, and every
dollar of this money should have boon
paid to American citizens. If these
rates of duty be reduced 20 per cent, as
prOpOs @ by the Morrison tariff bill of
the last session of Congress. foreigners
will supply our demand, the fires will
die cut in every furnace and forge and
rolling mill in America, and the men
who mine coal and make iron will be
without employment.
There is another difference between
the policy of protection and that of a
tariff for revenue only. Protection seeks
to preserve the industries we have. and
build up in every field Of enterprise in
which American capital and skill can
supply products with the same labor
here as In other countries. A revenue
tariff says: Let all foreign products
come in with low rate of duty even if
their coming destroys the industries we
have, and prevents the up-bui.ding of
new ones. Protection says, American
citizens shall have the American market
for all the products they can supply;
foreign imports shall not be allowed to
come in to interfere with this, but only
to supply whatever we cannot make. A
revenue tariff says that British and Chi
nese producers are as welcome to sell in
our markets as American citizens, it
says wo should buy Of foreigners, even
though America should starve.-Jour-
nal of Commerce. 4
