The Manitoba Schools.

The vex' d qut stion Of seperate
schools for Cat holics in Manlt oba has
pe,n settled by an agreement be-
tween the Dominion and Manit oba
governments. The people of Mani
toha had determined that the nature
of the population and the sparsenesA
of settlements imposed too heavy a
tax upon the finances of the people to
wal t the seperate estab ishment
Of schools for exclusively Catholics
and they would not recede from this
position by any threats OF coercion
from the Dominion government. The
Cana ian people have been greatly
agitated over the question and at one
time the seriousness of the situation
was very great, threatt ming bloodshed.
The Cover nment submitted the ques-
ton TO vote upon maintaining its
determination to force Manit oha to
WELD to the establishment and sur
port OF separate schools. At the
polls tile goverrms mt was defeated
and a Liberal ministry placed in
power. A cmpromise has been effect
ed by which the Catholics, or any
other religious class, may teach re-
ligion in the pubic schools for hall
hour in each school day. This is
done, however, only where a majority
of the trustees of a sc ool district
vote for such permits ION, or certain
nun her OF parents in the district
petition or it. This atrang ment, as
might have been expected, is not
sstisfa tory to m ny Catholic clergy

ALCOHOL WEAkENS.

Total Abstainers Are Healthier and
Stronger Than Drinking Men.
The average workingman has al idea
that beer or liquor of some sort is nee,
essary to his health, strength and com
fort This rotion is SO deeply grounded
that it will be hard to eradicate it. But
it has been demonstrated time and again
that alcoholic beverages have the very
opposite effect.
One reason that it is so ha-d to make
81 drinker believe this is that if he lets
UP Oh his beer Or booze for a few days
he does not feel quite SO well, Is not
quite SO strong, ard bis appetite is not
UP to the standard. This Is because his
system has become used to such stimu'
iants, and when they are withdraw
their loss is felt.
During the past five years a number
Of careful tests have been made Ill Eng

ind i'll every enc the total abstainer has
been shown to he the superior III every
material point. He enjoys better health,
has greater powers of endurance and is
mere profitable to his employer, to say
nothing of his superior domestic and
social qualities. Banner Ct Gold.

at once the cleverest pickpocket he could
lay his hands on The man came and
was put into livery and was told to wait
at table with the other servants. He
was to give the grand duke a sign 0i-
rectly he had done the trick.
But this was not given very soon, for
the ambassador was very wary, and al
ways kept on the alert, and held his hand
on his fob, even when conversing with
the most distinguished guests At last
the grand duke received the preconcert-
ed signal He at once requested the am
bassador to tell him the time The la tier
triumphantly put his hand to his pocket
and pulled out potato instead of his
watch. To conceal his feelings he would
take pinch of snuff-his snuffbox was
gone. Then he missed his ring from his
finger, and his gold toothpick, which he
had been holding in his hand in little
case. Amid the hilarity of the guests the
sham lackey was requested to restore
the articles but the grand dukes mer-
riment was changed into alarm and sur
prise when the thief produced two
Watches two rings, two snuffboxes, etc

discovery that he himself had been rob-
