have been heretofore made by the agents

of feeling that is likely to lead to serious

active preparations for going on the war

A Courteous Prince.

"Do not be afraid, Louis" said the
Empress Eugenie, holding her son in her
arms.
81 am not, mamma, answered the boy
| of II; II have not forgotten that my
name is Napoleon"
The cutter in which the empress and
her son were being conveyed at night
from q steamer had struck q rock, and
the waves were dashing over it at the
time this conversation took place.
The young prince, who afterward lost
his life in the war between the English
and the Zuus, had one trait not common
to children-he treated his playmates
and all who served him with marked
courtesy. The fayorite companion Of his
sports was Louis Conneau, the son of the
emperor's physician. They were daily
together, and many storms ruffied their
intercourse.
One dav, when there was to be a state
dinner at the Tuileries, at which the
prince was not to appear, he invited
| Louis Conneau to dine with him. Both
lads were very fond of strawberry cream,
and the prince. in order to give an agree
able surprise to his playmate. requested
that dish to be prepared for the dessert.
During the morning the two boys
quarreled, and Louis Connean returned
home. The prince, too proud to show
any emotion at his playmate's departure,
took his seat at the dinner table and
tried to eat But when the strawberry
cream appeared his self control gave
way. The tears rolled down his cheeks,
as he said TO a servant:
Take the cream to Conneau, and tell
him I haven't the heart to cat it without
him!'-Youth's Companion.

The Chinese Silk Festival.

We, who are always grateful TO our
benefactors, honor the inventor of the
hrt of silk culture with real perpetual
cult. Besides the temples which wclave
erected in all the corners of the empire,
her majesty the empress goes every year
at the Matching season, in person, with
all her suite, and in great pomp, to the
Iield of the mulberry, tc sacrifice TO the
goddess who was the queen of the En-
beror Hoang-Ti. After the ceremony at
HE temple, her majesty, followed by her
ladies', goes into the field, and, surrounded
by the farmers wives, cooks some null
berry leaves and lays them on basket
containing the newly Matched worms.
The festival is closed with her winding 4
cocoon by way Of setting an example, in
.he presence of the people, and distrib
lting gifts to those persons who have
been reported by the authorities of their
villages as most worthy by reason of
heir fidelity in attention to the care of

A Dogs Friends.

Did the reader ever see dog perform
the ceremony of introducing human
friend? The writer has himself seen the
thing dene III i way, but never, perhaps,
so plainly and prettily as friend OF hls

For a near neighbor he has a man who
keeps a carriage and also q fine setter
dog. Mr.. j. does not enjoy the acquaint-
ance of the neighbor, but lie has come TO
be on excellent terms of friendship with
the dog.
Every day Mr.. + sallies forth at
about the same hour. Every day he
meets the dog whose salutations have
gradually passed from mere friendly
formalities to alfectionate greetings.
Yesterday as Mr. j came out of his
house, he found the dog-who always,
when the carriage starts, goes circling
about the horses head, barking with JOY

tile horses attached, stood waiting for Its
occupant The dog at once came bound
ing up to +, and then went bounding
back TO the horse He licked the horse
ON the nose, and came back to j
again. aud again returned to the horse,
evidently laboring under the stress OF
something that he wanted to say or do.
It was quite plain, i'll fact, that he
wanted his human friend to take notice
of his equine friend; he was doing his
best to introduce the man to the horse,
and make them friends too. So j,
whose big heart can include horses as
we'll as dogs, yielded to the dogs earnest
solicitations; he went up to the horse
and patted its head and rubbed its nose.

PROTESTS OF cHURCHMEN.

Salisbury Assaulted for Being Friendly to
the Pope-Census Question Objected to.
LONDON June 15.-It is rather singular
that while the Roman Catholics of Ireland
are generally arrayed against the govern
ment. Lord Salisbury's Ministry is being
assailed in England on the charge of being
too friendly with the Pope. The low
churchmen are much aroused by the recent
mission of Sir Lintorn Simmons to the
Vatican and especially by the commission
that marriages between Catholics and non
Catholics in Malta must have papal ap-
proval for their validity. 1t is asserted
that Lord Salisbury had no right to send q
mission to the Vatican without the author
ity of Parliament, and that such authority
has never been granted. 1t is also pointed
out that Lord Salisbury has favored, in
the appointment of bishops, the clergy who
lean toward Roman forms. and that emf
nent men have been ignored because they
are "low churchmen."
The government is also bitterly criticised
for it's announced intention to question the
people as to their religious faith, IN the
decennial census of 1901. There Is but one
precedent of the kind In England, and that
in 1851, when statistics were gathered as to
attendance on religious worship and ac-
commodation for such attendance. The
penal sections of the census act did not
apply to this branch of information, and
the results were neither valuable nor satis-
factory. Protests are coming in from non-
| conformst bodies against a religious GEN.
sus. the motive apparently being that the
enumerators would discriminate in favor
of the Church of England by counting
for that church ali who do not belong to
any church.
A series of questions were sent to the con-
gregatiOns of the Established Church of
Scotland, asking whether marriages were
usually celebrated in the church OF in the
home. The answers showed that in the High
| lands and northeastern counties marriages
had been held In the church from timeimme-
mortal; elsewhere the custom was some
| what mixed. One parish answered: Most
| frequently in church, on account of a
| special money bequest to the tallest, small
| est. youngest and Oldest brides there mar
| ried during the year."

auditor of this county, shot himself IN the

Probing failed to reach the ball, but
located it in the heavy structure at the
back of the head. This fact. coupled with
the state of his mind since coming out of
the alteration in which he committed tho
act, argues the probability of his recovery.
He says he must have been crazy. as he
knows nothing of how he came to do it.
His official character was assailed by a

unsuccessful in quest of business, was
prob ably the cause.

Corea, but the government officials OF
Japan know nothing definitely as to its
nature. All that is surely known is that
all of the British men-of-war are lying In

to sail at a moments notice. Several OF
them have already gone. The American
naval force, under Rear Admiral Belknap,
Is also expecting orders to sail for COrea.
An officer of the British ship Severn said
to the Associated Press representative that
he had seen dispatches and orders which
would astound the foreigners in Japan.

about to depart. The latter was presented
with a testimonial of esteem by the foreign
