Remarkable as it may SEEM, the
heaviest contributor to the expenses
of the recent presidential campaign
was the United States government.
The amount of campaign literature
sent through the mails free on the
franks of the congressman would have
cost 0,0O0,0 900 in postage stamps I'M
der other circumstances. To this
must be added SIS, 900 900 as the cost
of. sending out information from the
various departments in response 70
campaign demands, making a total Of
$4,000, 900 that Uncle Sam is out of
pocket.

CHURCH OF THE NATIVITY.
A Venerable Building That Has wit

n AAuA AHdU nAS "lGS
messed Some Stirring Scenes.
We return in time to see the process
sion of bishops, priests and people that
is forming in the square in front of
the church, says st. Nicholas. Each is
dressed in his most gorgeous robes.
Turkish soldiers line both sides of the
streets to keep the way open for the
procession to pass. The Latin patriarch
of Jerusalem has just arrived. The
procession of priests, carrying banners
and immense candles, meets him, then
turns and all GO into the Latin chapel
through the main entrance. Follow
ing, we are surprised to find the main
entrance SO small. 1t can admit but
one at a time, and that one must stoop
to enter. From the masonry it can be
seen that the entrance was once much
larger. The reason for the change was
that the Mohammedans at one time did
all in their power to injure and annoy
the Christians, and even used to ride
on horseback into the very church. The
door, therefore, was made small to pro-
tect the church from this sacrilege.
Once inside, we see we are in a very
ancient structure. Part of the masonry
dates from the time of Constantine
who built a magnificent basilica on this
site about the year $50 of our era. All
we can see cf the oldest work. how
ever, probably dates from no later
than Justiniau's time, about $50 A. D.
In any case, the church is a venerable
building, and it has witnessed some
stirring scenes. In it Baldwin the
Crusader was crowned King of .Jeru-
salem. 1t has been repaired a n11mber
of times; and once, when it needed a
new roof King Edward ". of England
gave the lead to make one. This was
about the year 1882. The lead roof did
good service for about 200 years and
might have lasted much longer had not
the Mohammedans melted it up to make
bullets. However, another roof was
soon provided.
Inside, the building consists of a.
have and double aisles. The aisles are
separated by two rows of columns
made Of red limestone. These columns
have plain bases and are surrounded
by Corinthian capitals. They are nine
teen feet high and at the top of each a
cross is engraved. The church is now
owned by the Latin, Greek and Ar.
menian Christians.

Religion becomes ridiculous when a

Religion becomes ridiculous when a
congregation of only thirteen people,
with only six in condition to pay, takes
upon itself the support CT a church and
a minister. The instance in Atchison
has a parallel in almost every town in
the United States. There are too many
churches and too many ministers to
support. Hard times have resulted in
cutting down the number of amuse-
ment halls, the cost of clothes, food,
etc., but have had nc effect in cutting
down the number of churches to be
supported. There are a great many
people who imagine that they can't go
to heaven unless their path is paved
with debts incurred in keeping, up a
church.

A family living in Susquehanna, Pa,
has a crow that gets drunk on beer.
He steals into the cellar and manages
to break a bottle of beer, and drinks
what remains in the bottle. Then he
carries the pieces of the broken bot
tie out of the window and disposes Of
them so that no trace remains of the
theft. When he presents himself up
stairs his gait is unsteady, his voice
is hoarse, and he looks upon the world
with bloodshot eyes and in an evil
temper.

A French specialist in nerve diseases
writing of the number of American
women who are threatened with nerve
prostration, and go to Europe as a rest
cure, says: 'They breakdown, many
of them, not from too much brain
work, but brain work in too many di-
rections. The Frenchwoman is salts
fed to be either a good mother, a sa-
want, or a leader of society. But the
American tries to be all OF these at
once"

There is more catarrh in this section O,
the country than all other diseases put to-
gether, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For a great many
years doctors pronounced it a local disease
and prescribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has
roven catarrh to be a constitutional dis
ease, and therefore requires constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufac-
tured by F. j. Cheney & Co., Toledo, O.,
is the only constitutional cure on the mar
ket. 1t is taken internally in doses from
10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly
on the blood and mucous surfaces of the
system. They offer One Hundred Dollars

An italian Inventor Has y Submarine
Adventure.
An Italian inventor, named Corzctto,
says La France Militaire, has con
structed an apparatus which he calls
"methydric sphere" and by means
OF which he processes to be able to
descend to any depth in the sea In
his experiment at Spezzia he stored
some two thousand cubic feet of COM
pressed air in his apparatus, which
he entered with two friends and which
was then lowered to a depth OF some
thirty feet. AS after the expiration Of
nine hours the sphere" had not yet
been seen to reascend to the surface,
message was sent to the admiral in
command of the naval department,
who at once sent diver to the spot.
The sphere was found still resting
on the sea bottom but the diver heard
nothing in answer to his knocks.
Some barges having been brought to
the spot by tug, the sphere" was
hauled up with ropes, and as soon as
! it emerged its door was opened, and
the inventor appeared with livid face
and half asphyxiated His two com.
/ panions were unconscious, but were
i quickly resuscitated. They had re.
manned eighteen hours under water
The inventor explains that so far al
his experiments were successful, bu
on this occasion when he intended t,
return to the surface the air. pressur,
at his command proved insufficient t
expel the water ballast, Of about tw,
4 tons weight, which had so far KEEP
q his appliance submerged, and henc
! they had to remain where they wer
. until rescued. At any rate. three pei
sons were enabled to remain unde
water for eighteen hours, and this :,
