"God and cur Country"
Ca aDINAL GIBBONS INSPIRING REMARKS
IN THE COURSE OF A SERMON AT MIL.
WAuKEE


The following is an extract from the ser.
mon, delivered by Cardinal Gibbons on the
occasion of the comforting of the pallium on
Archbishop Katzsr, of Milwaukee, last
Thursday week.
''God and our sountryl they be our
watchword. Loyalty to Gods church and
to our country! this be our religious and
political faith. Let us unite hand in han
in laboring for Gods church. The more
we extend the influence of the Christian re-
ligion the more we will contribute to the
stability of our political and social fabric.
Let zsal for religion ever burn in our
hearts: 'If forget thee, o Jerusalem, let
my right hand be forgotten; let my tongue
cieave to the roof of my mouth if do not
remember thee and ever place thee in the
beginning of my ways"
s'Next to love of God should be love of
our country. The author of our being has
stamped on the human breast love for
ones country, and, therefore, patriotism is
himself. And if the Esquimaux clings to
his country, though living amid perpetual
ice and snow, how much more should we
be attached to this land of ours so bounti-
fully favored by heaven, and if the apostles
inculcated respect for their rulers and obedi-
ence to the laws of the Roman empire,
though these laws we're often framed for
the purpose Of crushing and exterminating
che primitive Christians, how much more
devoted should we be to our own civil gov.
ernment, which protects us in our own per.
son and property without interfering with
our rights and liberty, and with what alac-
rity we should observe the laws of our
country, which were framed solely with the
view of promoting our peace and hap
piness.
''The Catholic community in the United
States has heen conspicuous for it's loyalty
in the century that has passed away. And
we, am sure, will emulate the patriotism
of our fathers in the faith. Let US glory in
the title of American citizen.
"To one country we owe allegiance and
that country is America. We must be in
harmony with our political institutions. 1t
matters not whether this is the land of our
birth or of our adoption. It is the land of
our destiny. Here we intend to live and
here we hope to die.
"And when our brethren across the
Atlantic resolve to come to our shores may
they be animated by the sentiments of
Ruth, when she determined to join her hus-
bands kindred in the land of Israel, and
may they say to you as she said to her rel
atives: Whittier thou hast gone also
shall go; where thoH dwellest, I also shall
dwell; thy country shall be my country,
and thy God shall be my God; the land that
shall receive thee dying, in the same will I
die, and there will be buried

Wool and the Tariff.

The increased duty on wool was the tub
which the Mckinley congress threw out to
amuse tho agricultural whale. The result
Of that increase is a fall in the price of wool
of two cents per pound. And this is not all.
1t now leaks out that this fall in the price
of wool was the avowed purpose of the
trainers Of that tariff.
When the increased duty on wool was
proposed in the committee of Ways and
Means of the last congress, the wool manu-
| Nfacturers Of New England and elsewhere
took fright. Wool was their raw material,
and they feared high duty on foreign wool
would injure their industry by raising the
price of this raw material. They were told,
and as the result proves, truthfully told, by
the leaders that this increased duty on i'm
ported wool would have the effect of tower
ing the price of the home article. The Home
Market Club, of Boston, is protectionist
authority without superior in this country.
In order to allay the fears of the wool man.
ufacturers, it issued circular letter in
which it argued that the increased duty on
foreign wool, so far from raising the price
of tho home supply would have the con-
trary effect. "Amoug other things the
club said, sit is mistaken idea with many
manufacturers that the foreign prices of
wool are necessarily lower than home prices
under protection. They Average higher"
The letter then gives table which shows
that, for the past decade the prices of for
eign wool have averaged higher than the
home made article.
The woolen manufacturers needed this
appeal. They believed that protection
would keep the price of wool in this couu-
try below the price in any other country in
the world, and they agreed to even higher
rates on the raw material to reduce the
price still further. The trick on the farmer
has been perfect success. In further evil
dence that this wool duty was deliberate
fraud on the farmer, we give sentence
from letter written to the New York
World by Mr. Thomas Dolan, one of the
largest manufacturers of woolens in Phila-
delphia, and a protectiouistf from the ground
up. In q long letter praising the Mckinley
tariff this damaging paragraph must have
slipped from his pen unawares: 't1t is an
Instructive fact, deserving much emphasis
of statment, that the prices of toooI are
toacer now than they were one year ago.
This decline was distinctly promised by pro-
tectioniss leaders during the discussion
which accompanied the framing Of the Nc
Kinley tariff"
Here is a distinct confession Of an inten-
tion to commit deliberate fraud on the
farmers made by one high in protectionist
councils. Charlottesville Chronicle.

VIII Carleton's Wife.
POET WHO FINDS HELP IN HIS WIFI

POET WHO FINDS HELP IN HIS WIFE.
Such woman as Mrs. Will Carleton is
by nature large part of u successful hus-
bands career, writes Edward W. Box, in
the September Ladies' Home Journal She
is the perfect embodiment of everything that
Is best and most lovable in woman. No
sweeter disposition was ever given to any
one. Trials and perplexities know no great.
er foe than her smile. Everything about
her is quiet and gentle. Her life, her work,
her charities, her manner, her conversation,
all are alike-she is womanly in every re-
spect. The fads of the day trouble her no t.
The substantial basis of belief in what is
good, built by her sterling parentage, is her
creed. In her homs Mrs. Carleton is per-
feet manager. The house. supported from
the proceeds of her husbands pen, on
Greene avenue, Brooslyn, reflects the nature
Of her who rules over it. There is no outer
show, no inner ostentation; a gentle air Of
refinement permeates every room. Every
piece of furniture is of the best; cheap things
Mrs. Carleton abhors. What she buys is
calculated to be useful as well as ornament
al. Her housekeeping instinct is as perfect
as is her taste in the Establishment of a
room. She is queen of her domain, and ev-
cry domestic detail is under her own super
vision. Through her table she stu lies her
husbands pleasure; through her home she
studies his comfort.
With the reins of her domestic duties
thoroughly mastered with one hand, she
drives Pegasus with the other. Many lit
tie detail in her husband g busy life as liter
ary man is taken charge of by her. She sees
his verses long before the editor, the pub
Usher or the public, and upon her literary
Judgment the poet often relies. Mr.. Garlic
tons lecturing engagements, becoming
each year more numerous, has added some
thing to the wife's duties, and when he is
away en- tour she watches his interests at
home.
Mrs. Carleton is conscientious member
of the Washington Avenue Baptist Church,
of Brooklyn. and one of the most active
workers In every one of its departments;
every moment of leisure is given over to
church duties. For years she has also been
one Of the managers Of the Brooklyn Home
for Consumptives-a unique and most hu.
name charity, in which Mrs. Carleton's
best interests are constantly enlisted.
Mrs. Carleton never comes before the
public in any of her works. She is an eff
ficient advocate of all that is good and true;
but her methods are of the quiet order.

THE DANGER SIGNAL.

When nature raises the flag of distress in
the shape of sores, ulcers, boils, pimples

needed. As cities threatened with disease

successful disinfectant and purifier than s..

complished wonderful results, and there
are thousands of people in this country to-
day who regard the proprietors of S. s. s.
as benefactors. What it has already &C
complished it will continue to accomplish.

"Now ILAY ME DOWN TO 81 EEp"

The fire upon the hearth Is low,
And there is stiffness everywhere,
Like troubled spirits here and there
The freight shadows f1uttering go,
And as the shadows round me creep.
A childish treble breaks the gloom.
And softly from further room
Comes: "Now lay me down to Sleep"
And, somehow, with that little prayer,
And that sweet treble In my ears,
My thoughts go back to distant years,
And fingers with q dear one there.
And as hear the child's amen,
My mothers faith comes back to me,
Couched at her side seem to be.
And mother holds my hands again.
Oh, for an hour in that dear place!
Oh, for the peace of that dear timel
Oh, for that childish trust sublime!
Oh, for glimpse of mothers face!
Yet. as the shadows around me creep.

SEPTEMBER DAYS.

=
From September's misty grass,
Growing on the furrowed ground.
Comes the cherry cricket sound;
While from twisted browning trees
Apples fall.
And the warm and dusty winds,
Turning white the roadside weeds,
Whirl the leaves and thistle seeds.
From the mellow hazy air.
Blue jays call.
Ger the meadows aftermath.
By the August rains made green.
Harvest spider-webs are seen,
Showing wet. like fresh drawn net
Spread to dry.
Threading from the Summers woof,
Golden-rOd September weaves.
Binding in with crumpled loaves,
Sparrows trailing flight from trees
Through the sky.
Butterflies with snowy wings,
Rising from the asters white,
Look like petals in their flight.
Or as souls OF summer flowers
Passing by.

SEPTEMBER.
BY W. W. LONG.

w
Child OF the grand young Autumn.
September fioateth by,
With sad look in her sun-kissed face,
And sorrow in her eye.
She will kiss the grand old forest.
And leave a crimson light,
And the flowers will fade and wither
In the stiffness of the night.
She Will leave at the cottage windows,
Frost-work, white and cold,
Pictures as grand in beauty,
AS artists painted of old.
She will rest like bird on the treetops,
And kiss the green grass sweet.
And carpet OF russet. gold and brown.
VIII fall at her fairy feet.
Then. like dream in the nighttime,
Or the sun at the close OF day,
She will fold her mantle around her.
And softly float away.

The selection of children's shoes is a
matter of grave Importance; tho feet of
growing children are always dispropor-

to be deprecated. 1t causes the feet to
be misshapen, and, besides, makes it
very uncomfortable for the child. Com
nonsense shoes should be adopted, with
low broad heels and not too pointed toes.

and comfortable for warm weather.

PIN MONEY WELL INVESTED.

Twenty New York shop girls will be
sent to Stamford, Conn.,, for two weeks
vacation every fortnight during the re-
mainder of the summer. Their vacation
is provided by the self-dcnial of the
young ladies attending Miss Aiken's
Stanford Seminary. When Miss Aiken's
pupils returned to school after the Christ
mas holidays she suggested to them that
instead of spending their pin money for
confectionery and tribes dear to the
heart of school girls they contribute it to
fund to be accumulated for the pur-
pose of sending some of the New York
shop girls into the country IN the sum-
mer. They readily consented, and, be-
sides, gave two entertainments, by which
several hundred dollars more was raised.
Tie visitors will be boarded in farm
house about two miles from Stamford
village and all expenses will be paid.
Twenty girls will be accommodated at n
time, and after remaining two weeks will
be sent home and twenty more will come
to take their places. Miss Aiken pro-
poses to establish permanent society
among the 1000 ladies who have at
tended her school during the thirty six
years she has kept it in Stamford, each
one to pledge 81 a year to fund to send
New York girls into the country. The
Stamford society will work as an auxil-
larry of the New York society, which will
have charge of sending the girls to STAN
ford this Chicago Post.

HOW TO DRESS CHILDREN.

What an immense variety in children's
garments is to be seen in gay shop win
dows and upon the little toddicrs and
the girls of larger growth. Like the big
people, the little ones wardrobe is in a
transition stage, the changefulness of the
weather rendering it rather hazardous to
blossom out fully fledged in spring attire.
A new hat is almost the first thing which
inaugurates the coming of spring, aud
the large ones of chip, rice straw or
fancy braid are almost covered with
flowers that are an exact reproduction,
save the odor, of natures own hand
work. The bachelor button is a great
fevorite at the present time, the bright
hue matching i'll color the cornHower
tint Of the camel's-hairs, the Henricttas
and the serges. Cowslips and daffodils
nod upon lcghorn hats, and white clover
blossoms are wreathed upon country or
seaside hats of wide-brimmed rough and
ready straw.
Corn-husk braid is novelty and is
exceedingly light and pretty; some of the
misses hats are made of brambles or
rose stems woven in and out and sur
mounted by great American Beauty
rose which sways 10 and fro as if from

Ruches are worn upon bonnets as we'll
as dresses; they surround the crowns or
are sewed upon the brims, forming n

the bakers crowns so fashionable last

Lead Pipe Pierced by an Insect.

A German paper relates case in
which lead pipe was cut through by an
insect that was actually found with its
head in the hole pierced by it. A work
man was called in to repair defective
pipe which had been injured ON pre-
vious occasion, as was reported, by q
email hole" occurring in n soldered joint.
This time the worm IA wood wasp caus-
ing the mischief was found in stu. The
hole on the exterior of the pipe was of n
rounded form, about one-quarter of m
inch long by one-eighth inch wide, and
the penetration was through the entire
thickness of the metal. Though of rare
occurrence, we'll authenticated instances
of similar injuries by insects are on
record.
