In tho United States and adjacent
islands there were peculiaritics Of Taco
which long hindered the natural ten
dency of the church. In Louisiana and
tho Indies the whito colonists wcro
Catholic, and 80 tho slaves wcre bred In
that faith, and after tho revolution in
San Domingo about 1000 educated and
well to do colored men removed TO New
Orleans. They spoke tho French Ian
guage, wero Catholics, and educated
their children In France, tho northern
states or In private schools at homo.
Thus there has existed for many years In
New Orleans n colored society unlike
any In any other part OF the country.

OF Louis Napoleon, and famous dra.
matic writer Of Paris, was native quad.

In New Orleans, and probably there
only, are the colored Catholics able to do
what they wish in church extension.
Everywhere elso they nre confronted,
not by the "color lino," rs In other
churches, but by the far moro prosaic
problem Of poverty. Tho great mass Of
tho white Catholics In America have not

BULLET Playing" Miners.

Tho Scotch miner has many ways Of
amusing himself. Quoits is favorite
game OF his; so Is game called Ground
crs'-a sort OF cricket--and cricket itself
IL popular among tho younger men, but
with them football IL the favorito pas
time. Leaping, running, throwing the
hammer and tossing tho caber are all
prncticed, and In some parts n game
called "bullet playing" is in high favor.
We have never seen this played except
in tho Lothians and Stirlingshire, and
there it was at ono time crack amusc-
ment. Rather peculiar amusement,
too. II is played in this manner: A GER
tain distance, say milo out and q mile
In, Is fixed upon as the ground to DO COW
cred by tho players, and tho man who
does Bo in the fewest number of throws
Is declared the winner. The bullet is n
polished ball Of hard whinstone, and
weighs from ten TO fourteen ounces, and
this ball the player takes into his hand
and running TO a limo drawn on the road
way, he swings his arm and throws with
all his might. This il termed "hainch-
ing tho bullet" and n good player can
cover the mile in five or six throws. Tho
game il one mainly of strength, but q
good deal of skill can be shown In it.
Each player has n man in front to
show where the bullets should be landed,
and his business IL to see that, il his di-
rections aro followed, tho bullet of his
player will have tho best part of the
road to run ON. Tho game Is always
played on the best highway In the neigh
borhood, and tho authorities object to II
as being dangerous, although we never
have heard of any accident arising there
from. A bullet match Is to the Scotch
miner what n dog fight is to his North
umbrian or Staifordshire congener, or
prize fight TO nm East End Londoner.
Tho fact that 1t is forbidden by law adds
to its attractiveness, and it affords ample
opportunities for betting. Bets arc made
ON tho throw, on tho distance out and
on the complete match, and when the
two "dons' are playing excitement runs
high.-Scottish World.

COW has big earc that wiggle on hinges;
so does her tail. The COW is bigger than
