The Austrian Catholic Union al
their grand Lodge meeting held in
Pueblo, Col. on July 9Th 1898, adopted
a resolution and made it a part OF
their bylaws to the effect that mem
bers Of the union who enlisted and
served in defence of this country and
lose their life on the battle field, are
entitled to the $500 life insurance to
be paid their heirs. The delegation
from this section Of the Union work
ed hard for this measure and dispite
opposition on the part of some of the
eastern delegates carried it through.
At this meeting Jos. Agnich was
elected president Of the society and
Frank Trampush, of Virginia, vice
president. The delegates from here,
JOS. Agnich, John kotchevar, John
Habian, John Govoze, John Klobular

evening from Colorado much pleased
with their trip. This society is well
represented in this city. and no doubt
now many Of the young men Of the
society will volunteer their services

The manufacturers Of dried fruits In
the United States have found a good
market for their products in some of
the European coijltries, notably Ger
many. This trade should be fostered
and built up till it Is able to take all
of our surplus in heavy fruit years as
well as in years when we have lin
tied supply. But an obstacle appears
in the custom of many Of our shippers
using sulphurous acid for the improve
ment of the appearance Of their fruits.
Already the German authorities have
taken the matter up and are doing
what they can to stop the further i'm
portation Of fruit SO treated.
Some of the California papers are
saying that the sulphuring is good
thing. at least thing that does not
make the fruit detrimental to the
health, and they claim that some ply
sicians have said so. We are In very
grave doubt on that point. We have
many kinds Of preservatives in use,
and 1t is probable that all Of them are
more or less harmful. Yet we know
that 1t is possible to get medical
opinion In favor of anything that
brings good price on the market. Let
us cite the case of Preservaline. Med
ical investigations have decided that
1t is harmful to the health, especially
to tho health of little children and
invalids. Nevertheless the makers and
defenders of Preservaline declare that
they have medical opinions to the eff
feet that 1t does not act injurlously.
We cannot help feeling that 1t Is not
right to put any powerful chemical
into foods that are to be consumed
by all classes of people, the weak as
well as the strong. We have great
deal Of sympathy with the foreign ma
lions that have very strict anti-adul-
teration laws, and We can but wish
that our own laws against adultera-
ton were stronger.
We desire the foreign market for our
dried fruits, and we should therefore
see to 1t that only pure articles are
sent across the water. The United
States government should take up the
matter, but 1t is doubtful If 1t will do
so without an initial move being made
by the shippers Of fruit or other par
ties directly interested.

THANKSGIVING.

What time the latest flower hath
bloomed,
The latest bird hath southwark
flown;
When silence weaves DER garnered
sheaves
Sweet idyls of our northern zone;
When scattered children rest beside
The hearth, and hold the mothers
hand,
Then rolls Thanksgiving ample tide
OF fervent praise across the land.
And though the autumn stiffness
broods
Where spring was glad with song
and stir,
Though summers grace leaves little
On fields that smiled at sight Of her
Still CLOVIS the sunsets altar fire
With crimson flame and heart OF
gold,
And faith uplifts, with strong desire
And deep content the hymns OF old.
We bless our God for wondrous wealth,
Through the bright benignant year.
For shower and rain, for flpened
grain;
For gift and guerdon, far and near.
We bless the ceaseless Providence
That watched us through the peace
full days,
That led us home, or brought us hence.
And kept us In our various ways.
And IL the hand so much that gave
Hath something taken from our
store,
II caught from sight, to heavens pure
light,
Some precious ones are here no
more,
We still adore the Friend above,
Who, while earth's road grows steep
and dim,
Yet comforts us in tender love,
And holds our darlings close to Him.
Thanks, then, o God! From sea to
sea
Let every wind the anthem bear!
And hearts be rife through toll and
strife,
With joyful praise and grateful pray
er,
Our fathers God, their children sing
The grace they sought through storm
and sun;
Our harvest tribute here we bring,
And end it with, "Thy will be DONE"

Fish for the Pom d.

A year ago my boy caught, In a
little river a mile away, five little cat
fish with hook. Being too small for
the frying-pan he put them in the
pond They began at once to replen-
ish and multiply. This season the
family has caught several messes OF
catfish, some Of which weighed fully
pound. So we see how rapidly catfish
grow. They will reach pound In
weight in one year. For my part
would much rather have my pond
stocked with catfish than with carp.
Carp are hard to catch with a hook
and are much more bony than catfish,
and then, do not regard them as any
thing near so hardy. 1t makes no dill
ference with a catfish whether there is
current or not. They are at home
with either. l found a sucker in the
pond also. 1t was as healthy as ever
/ saw one. l take it that 1t reached
the pond through the wasteway. 1t IS
q strong-swimming fish. It
is plain to me that to make success
full pond, trees are necessary. They
can be planted and little forest will
soon be grown. l had much rather
have a narrow and long pond than
short and broad pond. I have planted
calamus. cat-tails, white-hellebore,
skun6-cabbage. and lilies. The more
weeds and the like along the margin,
the better. They prevent the wash
from filing up the basin. Then, they
are pleasant to look at. adding diver
sity and beauty. Then they afford
spawning places for the fish. ana
homes for all sorts Of aquatic insects.
These become numerous and afford
It in the midst Of plowed land. 1t Ia
also bad for it to have cattle and hogs
run to it at their pleasure. The pond
fence can be SO built that they can
go to the water and drink, but not
tramp its margin. When a pond Is
built and 1t Is we'll stocked with fish.
1t pays by what it furnishes the table.
1t is very pleasant to sit down to a Ia
BILE furnished with fresh fish. Here in
your pond you have them without
money and without price. with the
sport Of fishing thrown in. These are
briefly my views. There are other
reasons In favor of home pond.
think, however, that every farm OF
eighty acres should have a pond like
