As the happiness conferred by CRATE
full appreciation and glad responsiveness
is as real as any that exists, whoever
grudgingly withholds is as really selfish
in so doing as the miser who clutches
his gold when men are starving around
him.

PEOPLE sometimes talk of Time as
Time the healer 1t is very old COM
monplace, aud it is not at all true. Time
cannot heal anything; Time can only
destroy. Time destroys regret and re-
membrance and kindness and affection,
just as the dentist deadens the nerve.

HAPPINESS is like mama. 1t is to be
gathered in grains and enjoyed every
day; it will not keep; it connot be accu-
mulated; nor need we go out of ourselves
or into remote places to gather it, since
it is rained down from Heaven at our
very doors, or rather within them.

NOTHING hinders the constant agree
ment of people who live together but
vanity and seliishness. Let the spirit of
humility and benevolence prevail, and
discordand disagreement would be ban
ished from the household.

CHRIsTIAN STATE SCHOOLS,

One of the signs of the times is that
prominent Roman Catholics are asserting
their 10y atty to the best interests of this
country. One of the latest utterances of this
kind is by Archbishop Ireland, who protests
against the charge that the schools of the
nation have their enimies among the Cath-
olics. He declares most unbounded loyalty
to the constitution of his country. He de-
sires no favors. He claims no rights that are
not! in consensnce with Its letter and its
spirit. He upholds the parrish schools. He
unreservedly favors State laws making in
struction compulsory. He continues: The
State does not teach religion, but for the
sake of it's people and for it's own sake it
should permit and facilitate the action of
the Church. You say the State school
teaches morals, but morals without religious
principles do. not exist. Again, there
are differences among Christians, and
Catholics would not infiict their belief upon
non Catholics, nor should Professionalism be
inflicted upon Catholic children. Some
compromise becomes necessary. Taxation
without representation is wrong. AS solu.
| tion of the difficulty I would permeate the
regular State school with the religion of the
majority of the children of the land, be it as
Protestant as professionalism" can be, and
would, as they do in England, pay for the
secular instruction given in denominations
schools according to results-that is, esct
pupil passing the examination before State
officials and in full accordance with the
State programme would secure the cost of thu
tuition of the pupil in the State school.
This is understandable, and much NOR
reasonable than great deal of the tall
about the school question has been.

THE cORREY BILL.

The passage by the house of the Torrey
bankruptcy bill indicates that we are at last
to have another general bankruptcy law. 1t
but it now looks as If something would really
be done. The experience of this country
with such laws has not been very encour-
aging. One was enacted during the Tyler
administration and was repealed within less
than two years. Then in 1867 another law
of the kind was enacted and some fifteen
years later, after the ouse had three times
voted to repeal it, the senate finally Joined
in, aud since that time proceedings in bank
ruptcy have been carried on exclusively
under State laws.
The Torrey bill 10 q good one, and is the
result of much thought and study. 1t pro.
vides a legal method by which, when busi-
ness man, without dishonesty on his part,
becomes unable to pay his debts in full, his
assets may be sscertained, divided pro rata
among all his creditors, without favor to any
or undue losses to any, and the
debtor may then receive full
and perpetual discharge from the un-
satisfied portion of his debts and may
begin his business life over again. The
machinery by which this is done is as simple
and inexpensive as 1t can be made, and the
fairness of the division to all persons inter
ested, debtor and creditors alike, Is secured
as completely rs 1t is possible. Every oppor
| tunity is given for the creditors and debtor
| to reach compromise among themselves
which the law sactions and oarries ont AL
legal proceedings under the law are mad
as simple and effective and unteohnical q
practicable. The power of any one credito
to threaten or oppress debtor is guarde'
| against.
The country is ready to try another geners
bankruptcy law. If the Torrey bill become
a law it will doubtless work better than tn
other such laws have. But there is no wa
| of making dishonest men honest.

Hitherto schenes for a tunnel have been
opposed by military fears of disastrous pos
sibilities in time of war, and bridge ideas
have been proven to involve an altogether
impracticable expense. II. Varilla's plan
will, the English think, obviate both these
objections, avoiding the outlay necessary for
twenty mile bridge and the apprehension
resulting from tunnel which would come
close to the shore.
supply Of ivory Is too small to meet the de-
mands of industry and art an extensive In
dustry has arisen in France to supply an
artificial substitute for natural ivory. Until
recently the substitute used has been OBJ
tained by injecting white wood with chloride
OF lime under strong pressure. Within
short time, however, it has been established
that substitute may be prepared with tht
bones of sheep and waste pieces of deer and
kid skins. The bones are for this purpost
chloride of lime, then heated by steam alone
with the skin so as to form a fluid mass, tc
which are added few hundredths of alum
The mass is then filtered, dried in the air
and caused to harden in bath of alum, tn
result being white, tough plates, which ar
more easily worked than natural ivory.
