To Examine the Alleged Miracle window.

To Examine the Alleged Miracle Window.
The Canton (Minn.) church window
miracle, which has for several months
been the cause of much excitement in
Minnesota and northwestern religious
circles, is to be decided upon by thor
ough scientific examination by Bishop
j. B. Cotter, of Winona within whose
jurisdiction the so called miracle exists.
Several weeks ago the inhabitants of
the little village of Canton, near Lanes
boro, were startled by the announce
ment that portrait had by divine
means been imprinted in window of
the Catholic church there, of which
Father Jones is pastor. The news spread,
and thousands visited the village daily
on foot and in carriages. AT first the
apparitlon appeared to consist of a
young and comely woman with an in
FAINT in arms, and at times dim halo
was discernible about her head. The
story then took the form that this was
portrait of the Virgin Mary and
Christ, and the crowds of visitors in
creased tenfold. Paralytic cripples and
other afflicted persons came in droves,
and after glimpse OF the picture
threw away their crutches, exclaiming
chat they were cured.
The matter finally attracted such
widespread attention that Bishop Cotter
visited the church in company with
Father Coyne, of Lanesboro, and Father
Perrin, of Brownville. The window,
which is in the north gable of the
church, was removed, and the bishop per-
sonally brought it to Winona, where he
will give it thorough examination in
company with other prominent Catholic
clergymen. The bishop is of the opin-
ion that the glass, which shows slight
discoloration, was once church win
dow, and that an adjacent building al
lowed the light to strike it at an angle
which rendered the figures visible

The Place to Grow Bananas.

The country most extensively cult
waited for the growth of bananas, and
which for the past three months has so
distinguished itself by the unusual
quality and fine development of its prod
ucts, is situated in the Republic of
Colombo, Bocas del Toro being now the
shipping center and principal attraction
1or planters and merchants engaged in
the industry.
There are at the present time, taken
at rough estimate, no less than $4,000
acres OF land devoted entirely to the cul-
tlvatlon OF bananas, from which can be
shipped weekly 80 900 punches, all aver
aging $50 bananas to each bunch. These
are termed "whole bunches"-besides
which about $4,000 punches of smaller
size, averaging 200 bananas each (Which
are termed halves) still remain uncut,
and at the expiration of another week
attain their full size, when they also are
ready for shipment.
At the lapse of the same length of
time perhaps twice the quantity OF
punches are ready to be cut, and so on
from week to week, month to month
and year to year. New plantations are
continually starting up, taking ten
months from the time the suckers" OF
plants, are first put into the ground to
the time they commence to yield.

Co-Operative Vacations.

Those who live on the seashore need
for their recreation little journey to
the mountains or into the interior plains
Of the country. The one in the interior
needs, on the contrary, the moist salt sea
air. The people who toll the hardest
and most steadily are the ones really
best entitled to outings. They are the
ones most benefited by the change.
The happy period has come in our his
tory when such vacat .ons, such changes
and outing trips are within reach of the
poor. The girl who earns only a few
dollars week may have her vacation.
The way to manage it is through CO.
operation. If a number of girls or
young workingmen would begin now
and lay by each small sum weekly for
the vacation trip, by the time summer
came the money would be ready. A
very small amount would be enough.
There are cottages by the seashore and
In the mountains, plain little houses,
where the rent is cheap. The furniture
might be only of the temporary kind
used in camping. Young men might
hire cook. Girls can always do theil
own cooking. There will be plenty of
time.
The appetite is so good during vaca-
tion trips that nobody is fussy about
eating. A cottage rented for the season
by an association of vacation seekers
could be occupied in turn by installments
of the members, each installment having
it a week, then giving place to the next
Between now and next summer charm
ing spots can be found, the cottage o,
tent rented, the parties made up and the
money saved. A vast amount of pleas
ure can be got out of small means wher.
there are intelligence and pluck.

Volapuk Up to Date.

Volapuk, the new tongue which was
to bind all articulate creation together
in the bond Of common language, has
been but little heard of for some time
past. In Belgium, however, the Vola-
pukists are showing signs of life. A
conference of Volapukists, as they are
called, is being held at Brussels, and ac-
cording to all accounts much enthusiasm
is being displayed for Pastor Schleyer
and his system.
The Volapukists profess to be indiffer-
ent to the ridicule with which they have
been assailed. Their pet notion is des-
tined to triumph and they can afford to
wait. If the present generation does not
reap the full benefit of their labors, sue
ceeding generations will do SO. Such
has been the tenor of their discourses.
But in the meantime, if their figures are
to be trusted, they have made solid prog
ress. 1t is only twelve years since Vola-
puk was first promulgated to a world
which Is slow to adopt new ideas, and
already by its means 5000, 900 of people
English, French, German, Russian
ltailan and Belgian-are able to con-
verse with each other on that common
ground.
Not only is this so, but we are told
that thirty newspapers altogether are
published in Volapuk in different parts
of the world; that courses of lectures on
the new language are held at the uni,
versities of Munich and Turin, and that
the Russian press censors are bound tc
be acquainted with it to qualify them.

JUST like the strike here five years
ago the Homestead affair collapsed all
of sudden, and the men We'd with
one another in their eagerness to get
to the Carnegie offices to ask for
work. This is the end of nine of
every ten strikes that take place 1t
makes but little difference how Just
the demands of the men may be, or
what principle is involved in the con-
test, public sympathy soon dies out
and an unconditional surrender fol-
lows. Strikes do some good in prov
ing to workingmen that they must
look for some other remedy to allevi-
ate their burdens, and if they can set
the masses thinking the time and
money spent in them is mo means
lost. But to strike in the hope of
bettering their condition or gaining
any permanent advantage over their
employers-that is fallacious.

Library for Massachusetts, Town.

Library for n Massachusetts Town.
Erasmus Haston has offered to give to
the town of North Brookfeld $40, 900
outright for public library building,
or $50, 900 for the same purpose, provided
the town will pay interest on the latter
sum at the rate of per cent. year
during his life and that of his wife. 1t
was totally unexpected gift and is
highly gratifying to the people of the
town. Most of the people seem to favor
the acceptance of the latter offer, but a
meeting will soon be called to let the
voters decide. Erasmus Haston, the
donor, is native of Belchertown, born
in 1919.
He was a farmers boy, and worked
his way along until by industry and
economy he accumulated fortune. He
went to North Brookfeld early in life
and for long time worked at shoe
making, afterward at farming, but for
the last few years has not been actively
employed at anything. Quiet and mod
est, he has never sought public notice or
public Office, but his honorable and up-
right dealings with his fellow citizens
have always been recognized. Spring.

THE GREAT MONEY CONFERENCE.
1t Begins Its Sessions at Brussels-Sen-
ator Levi Chairman.

1t Begins Its Sessions at BrusseIs-Sen-
ator Levi Chairman.
BRUSSELS, Nov. 23.-The international
NJ. by the Belgian premier, M Beernaert, in
The marble hall of the Palais des Academies.
M. Beernaert was warmly received by the
American and French delegates, but evoked
fewer signs of approval from the delegates
of Austria, Germany and England. At the
close of his address Senator Montefiore
Levi was elected chairman of the conference
and Edwin H. Terrell, United States min
ster to Belgium, was elected vice chairman
Senator Levi made no pretense of sympathy
with the goldbugs, and described the pres
ent condition of the world money as pecul
lar for its unprecedented instability.
There is no doubt that the English, Ger
man and Austrian delegates will follow
dog-in-the-manger policy. So far as can
be ascertained none of them has come with
the idea of making serious proposal for
the rehabilitation of silver, and they will
assume purely negative attitude toward
any such proposal coming from the United
States or France In both Austria and
Germany the allusions of the press to the
conference are almost without exception
to the effect that it represents the efforts of
the silver producing states in America to
enhance their product at the expense of the
rest of the world.
1t is very apparent that the Austrian,
German and English delegates will be
the leaders of every effort to render futile
any work attempted by the United States
or members of the Latin union.

Recognized by the Catholic Church

On Nov. 81, 1884, at Baltimore, the Cath.
olics of America, through their represent
atives in the third plenary council in Bal
timore, for the first time officially recog-
nized the Thanksgiving proclamation of
the president and provided for the recog-
milton and observance of the day in all
churches of the land for all years to come.
In 1886 a movement was quietly made to
change the date of Thanksgiving day to
Oct. 12 the anniversary of the discovery of
America by Columbus. Ten out of twelve
governors were in favor of the change, but
eventually there was no change made.

Lent by the Vatican.

The exhibition opened in honor of
Christopher Columbus at Madrid has
just received two of its most interesting
exhibits, and the lender has been the
Vatican. They are geographical maps
of very early date and of extreme rarity.
One drawn in the lifetime of Alexander
vi shows the chart of the world as it
was believed to exist at the commence
ment of the Sixteenth century. A line.
the drawing of which is traditionally
ascribed to Alexander himself, defines
the limits of the Spanish possessions in
America, and separates them from those
of Portugal.
The second map-less ancient than
the first-has greater historical value,
as the precise date is not left to con-
lecture. An inscription in Spanish an
nounces that it is the handiwork of the
cosmographer of the king of Spain, who
prepared it by command of the king at
Seville in the year 1929, and under it is
the rather naive announcement, not that
it is map of the world, but map of
SO much of the world as had been dis
coveresup to that date.
These documents are the more inter
esting as their authenticity and pedigree
are above all doubt. They come from
the famous museum originally founded
by Cardinal Borgia when he was prefec-
of the propaganda. No European insti
tuition is SO rich in ethnographic treas
ures, which have poured into it from al
parts of the Christian world in answer
to eloquent and pressing appeals.
