splendor OF the earth was laid at her

all eyes were fixed, not only by reason
Of her position as the Empress of the
French, but by reason of the admira-
ton which her presence and extraordi-
nary beauty commanded
What did she think of it all? After
she deserted the Tulleries for exile
two years later, and the palace had
been sacked by the revolutionists her
letters to the Emperor were stolen.
Among them was one which in the
force Of it's expression, and the nobility
of it's sentiments should rank as one
of the most remarkable ever written
by a Queen. The following are ex-
tracts from it:

DIR. MAXWELL AND SIR WILLIAM
CROOkES.

Sir William Crookes, the President
of the British Association for the adj
yancement of science, recently deliver
ed before that body his presidential adj
dress, in which he made the startling
announcement that by the year 1881,
the world would reach the limit of its
food supply, unless the chemists could
devise some means for making the land
more productive He calculates the
area OF land under grain cultivation,
the yield per acre, the number of people
who are now fed. and those that must
be led during the next thirty years, and
concludes that the world must face
starvation within thirty years. The
statements Of so eminent man at
tract the attention of political econo-
mists in all countries.
Sir William has, during past years,
devoted much time to the investigation
of SpirituaIism, and was the unreIent-
ing enemy of Madame Blavatsky. He
was not able to find any well anthem
ticated ghosts, and in spite of well
baited traps never caught one
In making this startling announce
ment in regard to food supply, he re
sembles Prof. Jevons, who thirty years
ago, caused some uneasiness by declar-
ing that in a short time, the coal sup
ply would be exhausted. He also re-
sembles the theorist Nautilus who
Veit ich "
years ago by stating that the world
would soon be over populated This
led to strong public sentiment against
large families, especially among the
poor.
DR.. Walter Maxwell replies to Sir
William Crookes in a letter published
in the Daily News London) and quite
sharply and justly criticises the state
ments made. The N Y. Times, in its
editorial columns, says:
SIT is a somewhat curious fact that
the most careful detailed and cOnylnc-
ing of all the replies which Sir Will
Jams address has elected comes from
one of our new possessions in the Pa
cific. Dr. Walter Maxwell, director
and chief chemist of the experimental
station and laboratories OF Ha-
waii. has prepared a long article III
which, in effect, he intimates that the
president of the British Association
may know a good deal about appari-
tions but he has lots and lots to learn
about nitrogen and agricultural chem
istry in general"
We accept with pride this tribute to
our fellow townsman.
Sir William claims that the stock OF
nitrogen for plant food is rapidly fail
. ing. and that unless there is soon a
discovery of new supply, we must in
evitably starve to death. DIR. Maxwell s
reply. in brief, is that we have hardly
touched the reserved stores Of nitrogen
and that the statement of facts made
by Sir William are grossly incorrect
and he points out where an abundant
supply may be obtained, before resort
is made to extracting nitrogen from
the air itself. Dr. Maxwel's statement
dis clear and convincing. 1t will checE
the growth of alarm about coming
starvation. If any persons here are
disposed TO bury loaves of bread in tht
basin of Punchbowl, in order TO fore
stall this possible famine, let then
read DR.. MaxweN's paper and continue
their usual excuses in the consumption
of food.

Every young or middle aged man who
fairly thinks himself to be in neurotic
condition should make the true nerve
test This is done by concentrating
the mind on a given object for an or
binary length of time. If you find
gloomy. melancholy thoughts stealing
over you it is treatment you need and
the kind of treatment that will restore
YOU to vigorous strength. Weakness
comes upon men in a variety of ways.
Most frequently weakness comes on a
man through his early errors. If these
errors are stopped in time and the
young man pays good attention to the
laws of health no bad effects result;
but if these vicious habits are continued
and other bad habits contracted the
individual comes to the point where he
must get medical aid or become an ex-

ture decay is the sad condition of many
men to-day. Now you know the rea-

CATHOLICS LOYAL TO AMERICA.
PATRIOTIC ACTION TAKEN BY
ARCHBISHOPS.
Priests Directed to Pray in Daily
Mass For the Victory of Our
Flag Until Close OF War.

WASHINGTON, May 10-The Arch
bishops of the Catholic Church of the
United States have issued an open let
ter addressed to the clergy and laity
of the country. The letter bears on
the war with Spain,a and will be read in
all the churches on Sunday. 1t is in
dorsed by Mgr, Martinelli, the apostolic
delegate, and is as follows:
ITO the clergy and laity of the Cath
Ollie Church of the United States
Greeting: The events that have sue
ceeded the blowing up of the battleship
Maine and the sacrifice of 266 innocent
victims, the patriotic seamen of the
United States, have eliminated in war
with Spain and our beloved country.
Whatever may have been the indi
vidual opinions of Americans prior to
the declaration of war, there can now
be no two opinions as to the duty of
loyal Americans. A resort to arms was
determined upon by the Executive of
the nation, with the advice of both
houses of Congress, and after consulta-
ton with his Cabinet officers, but not
until every effort had been exhausted to
bring about an honorable and peaceful
solution of our difficulties with Spain.
THE patient calmness, the dignified
forbearance, the subdued firmness of
President Mckinley during the trying
time that interviewed between the de-
struction of the Maine and the declara-
ton are beyond all praise, and should
command the admiration of every true
American.
we, the members of the Catholic
Church, are true Americans, and as
such are loyal to our country and our
flag, and obedient to the highest de-
crees and the supreme authority of the
nation.
I'VE are not engaged in war of Sec
ton against section, or of State against
State, but We are united as one man
against foreign enemy and a common
foe. If, as we are taught by our holy
church, love of country is next to love
of God, duty imposed upon us by all
laws, human and divine, then it is our
duty to labor and to pray for the tenn
poral and spiritual well being of the
brave soldiers who are battling for our
beloved country.
Let us faithfully beg the God of
battles to crown their arms on land
and sea with victory and triumph, and
to stay unnecessary effusion of blood,
and speedily to restore peace to our
beloved land and people.
ITO this end we direct that on and
after the receipt of this circular, and
until the close of this war, every priest
SHALL in his daily mass, pray for the
restoration of peace by glorious victory
for our flag. We also direct that pray
ers for the brave soldiers and sailors
that fall in battle be said every day af-
ter mass. These prayers shall be said
aloud with the people, and shall be
Our Father and one Hail Mary and
the De Profundis'
I'VE pray that God may bless and
preserve our country in this great crisis
and speedily bring victory, honor and
peace to all our people,"

COMMITTED SUICIDE.
Theodore Havemeyer Shoots Him
self Through the Brain.

NEW YORK, May 10.-Charles F.
Havemeyer, son of the late Theodore
Havemeyer, committed suicide last
night at his home at Roslyn, Long ISL
and. He shot himself through the
brain. Mr.. Havemeyer was 80 years
old. He leaves a wife and two chill
dren. No motive for the suicidal act
is known
Mr.. Havemeyer had been to New
York during the day and had seen
several friends. Shortly before the
shooting he had been playing with his
boy, apparently in his usual good spir-
it's. There had been nothing in his
manner that would lead to suspicion
that his act was premeditated.
The Coroner's Jury rendered a YER
dict that Mr.. Havemeyer came to his
death by the discharge Of a pistol in
his own hands, and there was no evi-
dence to show that it was not acct
dental.
