A Stray Leaves From Reporters Note
 Rock. ni WE hear good deal about the grip nowadays. Nearly everybody has it. and yet nobody seems to know exactly what it Is. The term is applied to a wide range of ailments from pneumonia to chronic iaxi. ness. It has become the proper thing for the doctor to tell his patient. whenever his Ailment Is accompanied by cold and headache. that he has the grip. The genu- inc article Is described as an unhappy com promise between influenza and hay fever. with mulligrubs served on the side. It is calculated to make a man feel miserable. It cannot be shaken of and it feeds on liquor and tobacco. It cannot be bluffed or cajoled. Kindness alone will kill it. So they tell me.
 ssHAIF of the nervous disorders which make a woman's life torture are caused by shoes too small" said prominent physician yesterday. .'Many cases of sickness can be traced directly to small shoes. They affect people in so many ways that 1t would be task to enumerate them. When the weight of the body is placed on the feet the foot spreads half an inch in width and becomes half an inch longer. Allowance should always be made for this expansion. Stockings and socks too short cause ingrowing nails. People who walk up and down hills much are more liable to this trouble than those who walk on level ground, and should never walk in shoes or socks which are too short"
 A PETITION was passed around among the employees of the Waterbury Button Co yesterday, asking that the Wilson bill. or at least that section of it which deals with buttons. be not passed. Of course the petition was largely signed. As one of the signers told the writer, the employees added their names to the list no matter what their views were on the tariff question. This is the first step taken in Waterbury against the Wilson bill and amounts to nothing. In some places. 1t is reported, manufacturers are spending money to work up bogus sentiment against the bill.
 =. | THE amount of money sent to friends in the old country by Waterbury people has fallen of considerably this year. The business usually commences at the first of December and closes about the fifteenth. The amount of foreign money orders issued at the postoffice this month was about twenty per cent less than in December 1892. John Ryan has been in the money order business since 1866, starting on January 29 of that year in his grocery store on South Main street where Simon Bohl now conducts his meat market. Mir Ryan is sued his first money ordes for Catherine Lally. At that time a pound cost $1.15; . pound to-day costs s. MT Ryan's foreign money orders for December of this veal were a thousand dollars less then 1T December of last year.

Rescue of a Man Who BrAvsd the St. Law
 renee In Punt.
 OGDENsBURG, N. Y., Dec S0.-Joseph E Perry of Rensselaer, Falls, N. Y, started to cross the St. Lawrence river in punt from Oak Point to Canada The river was full of floating ice. A jam formed when Perry was about one-third across, and bis punt was fouled. He could not extricate himself
 Perry was seen pacing back and forth in the punt the next morning. By the aid of boat and several large blanks a couple of villagers reached Perry. Then began an exciting trip toward shore. The ice would nearly hold two on the boards, but not three. Many times all three were in the water at one time, sometimes to the knee, many times to their necks. After steady work for three hours all gained the shore. Perry was exposed on the ice about % hours

The Hnnrrr md Thirst Cure.

The hunger cure was at one time very popular punishment in Siberia But the latest punishment inflicted is the eating of salted herrings. This is regardeI as espe- cially useful in the case of prisoners who refuse to disclose secrets or to bctray their accomplices. Those who have experienced it say that the continual eating of very salty herrinXS is the worst form of torture imaginable. Thumbscrews and iron collars are mild inconvenience compared to it. The victim is shut up in a well heated, small cell and nothing is given him to eat but salted herrings, no water, and not even any bread. The thirst thus induced causes the most maddening aGOnies, and it is al most invariably found that when the priS- oner is brought before the eNaming com mission he is ready to give all the informa- lon required of him.

This Rooster would like to know what Mir Wilson pro poses to do with the thousands of people who are interested in the most produce of Colorado and who mines soft coal in Penn sylvania and West Virginia and Iron Ore in Lake Superior. Is it not certain that if the work of production be transferred to other countries the additional employment given to foreign workmen will be exactly of set by idleness of a certain number of men here, nd if several hundred thou sands Americans are added to those who want work will not the result be to force labor prices down in all the industries?

church. They are but blind leaders Of
the blind.
The American people need have no
fear of the small army of Catholics
subverting the institutions of the coun-
try. This army of ten millions poorly
equipped and not so wonderfully gen
eraled cannot wipe out the army of
over sixty million well equipped with
vast resources and possessed of much
skilled generalship. This hue and cry
about the Catholic church being op-
posed to the institutions of the coun-
try seems to me at all times, looking at
1t calmly, to be very much like the
mode of directing infancy in the nurs-
cry o--ore we arrive at the use of rea-
son and discretion-the fear of the
bugaboo. Nevertheless the bugaboo
does terrify the child though it has
no existence, and if imprudent Cath
olcs keep on crying out against the
public school system and its Goddess
character. they must not be surprised
If the vast majority of American non
Catholics fear and mistrust them.
We have no right, in my Judgment,
under the constitution to attack the
public school system. But we have
the right under the constitution to
worship God according to our con-
science while Loyalty supporting every
constitutional claim of our country.
We are not compelled by law to send
our children to the public schools, and
II some OF the ecciesiastics and some of
the laity believe there is an absolute
necessity for the existence of parochial
schools the state has no right to and
does not prevent us from building such

ourselves for their maintenance and
sending Catholic children to them to
receive secular education in the inter
est of their worldly progress and in
addition to their secular education
throwing around the child the safe
guards of morality and deep religious
conviction. We have q right, as every
non-Catholic will admit. TO do this.

iCOPYRIGHT, 1891

1000!
The constitution of the United States
provides that men shall have the right
TO worship God according to their con-
scientious convictions. That congress
shall make no law regulating religion
or support any particular form of state
religion. The public school system of
the country seems to me to be regu
lated and directed by this constitu-
tional provision. Until lately many
Catholics have been unwise enough to
attack the public school system as
Goddess. These attacks have provoked
from non-Catholic citizens a mistrust
of Catholics and their religion. Well
disposed but bigoted and prejudiced
non-Catholics, not informed of Catho-
lie doctrine, have been ready and will
ing at all times to cry out before the
country that the institutions of the
country were in danger from Catholic
invasion. De TocGuereIle's and de-
mocracy in America has often been
quoted in sectarian papers against the
Catholic church. The American people
have heard time and time again the
words put in the mouth of Lafayette
that if American institutions were to
be destroyed it would be through the
influence of the Catholic church and
its clergy.
To honest Catholics and unpre ju-
diced and intelligent non-Catholics
this cry always appears to be very
childish. The only danger from such
false insinuations is that the vast null
titude of people in the struggle for life
have not time to do much analysing
and thinking and consequently allow
others to do it for them. Therefore,
this vast multitude of citizens may be-
lieve the uttcrances of the prejudiced
and the bigoted and cultivate distrust
for their Catholic fellow citizens who
are only small minority of the whole
Of this vast country. This
distrust on the part of the multitude of
against their Catholic
fellow citizens can be and no doubt is
intensified by the narrowness and ag-
gressiveness of some few Catholics, &C.
clesiastics and laymen, no doubt well
and sincere, but neverthe-
less directed by zeal neither in keep
ing with discretion nor charity. Those
people do not voice the conviction of
the authority and intelligence Of the

And the Girl Laughed.

A certain allopathic physician, not
more than thousand miles from a
given point in the city of Detroit, has
daughter whose steady companion is
pronounced homeopath, and for rea-
sons not at all professional the father
doesn't admire his possible son-in-law,
though the daughter does. Some time
ago the old gentleman found the young
man at his house. and thinking it q
good time to settle matters he proceed
ed to speak his mind very freely to the
youth.
We'll, have you said all you wanted
to say?" inquired the sutton, when the
father had made series of uncompli-
mentary and seditious remarks
''No, haven't" exclaimed the allo-
path, getting his second wind; II want
to say that my advice to you is to get
out of this house at once and never
come back again"
The young man braced up and
smiled
Well" he responded, "you NAV 60

any allopath in existence to prescribe
for me. Good evening" and the young
man sat down SO firmly that the old
gentleman concluded he had made q
mistake and left the house himself
