COMMON MISTAKES. The London
Family Doctor says: 1t is a mistake
to work when you are not in fit con-
dition to do so; to take off heavy an
derclothing because you have become
oyerheated to think that the more q
person eats the healthier and stronger
he will become to believe that child
rem can do as much work as grown
people, and that the moro they study
the more they learn; to go to bed late
at night and rise at daybreak and
imagine that every hour taken from
sleep is an hour gained; to imagine
that II little work or exercise is good,
violent or prolonged exercise Is better;
to conclude that the smallest room In
the house Is large enough to sleep in
to sleep exposed to q direct draught at

FROM THE SOUTH TO JAPAN.-The
New Orleans Picayune states that q
steamer has been chartered to load
1000 bales Of cotton and quantity Of
pig iron at Mobile and then to proceed
to New Orleans and take on 200 to
10000 mare bales OF co ton. This en-
tire cargo will be delivered at Yoko-
hama and Higo, Japan. This will be
the first direct shipment of either cot
ton or iron from Southern port to
Japan.
Japan bought large quantity OF
cotton lie the South last season and
has purchased much more this season,
but all OF 1t has hitherto been carried
by rail to the Pacific coast for export
to Japan. The great cargo which is
being prepared for Japan at Mobile and
New Orleans is new departure and
will doubtless mark the beginning of 6
great direct trade between Japan an:
the South. The increasing demand ir
Japan for our cotton and the fact tina
the South can undersell all competi
tors for the iron trade OF that countr,
aae encouraging omens of an era OF la
creased industrial activity in this sec
sion.

LEG END OF THE BRIDES FLOWER -
Like all familiar customs whose origin
Is lost in antiquity, the wearing of
orange blossoms at a wedding is ac-
counted for In various ways, says an
exchange. Among other stories is the
following pretty legend from Spain:
An African king presented Spanish
king with magnificent orange tree,
whose creamy, waxy blossoms and won
derful fragrance excited the admira-
tion OF the whole court. Many begged
in vain for branch OF the plant, but a
foreign ambassador was tormented by
the desire to introduce so great curl
osity to his native land. He used every
possible means, fair or foul, to accom-
plish his purpose, but all his efforts
coming to naught, he gave up in
despair.
The fair daughter OF the court gar
dener vas loved by a young artisan, but
lacked the dot which the family con.
sidered necessary In br ide. Ooe day,

CHURCH STATISTICS. The annual
compilation OF churcn statistics made
by the New York Independent shows
that about one-third of the 25,9l0,O27

Roman Catholics. The most numerous
Protestant denomination is the Mctho-
DIST with 5,I35, 1913, while the Bap.ists
are second, Cncluding their multifa-
rious subdivisions with l,l75, 300.
The next in order are the Lntherans,
with l,507 lG6, and then follow the
Presbyterians, who number 400, 1862;
the Disciples Of Christ, with total of
| 05l ,070; the Episcopalians, with 65S,-
60, and the Congrcgationalists, wi tn
630, 600. The numerical equality OF
the last two churches has been con-
tinued for Il number Of years, though.
the Episcopalians appear to be gain
ing little on their Puritan brethren.
The unitarians, despite their recent
efforts to increase the number OF their
adherents, are practically at a stand
still, with only 1000 members, while
there are but 81 ops Univcrsalists all
told. The total number of com muni-
cants in all the churches is enormous

the dignity was conferred IN the West

There is hardly any doubt that the COM
mittee OF investigation will find good
cause, after inquiring into the life of
Bishop Neumann, to grant the petition
requesting his canoniZation. His biogra.
pher says of him: las he lived, so he
died, in the service of the church, and
his soul now communes with the Angus
tines, the Ambroses aud the Gregorys.
John Nompucene Neumann was born
in Srachatic, Bavaria, on Good Friday,
March 20, 1911 At an early age he show
ed a great aptitude for study, and was
sent to school at Budwefs, where ne
remained for several years. he went
from there to Sprague, where he COM
menced the study of theology. Having
completed the required course he return
ed to Budweis, but on account of the
extreme age of the bishop of that place
his ordination was deferred. Neumann
had previously decided to come to
America. and without waiting TO become
a priest he set sail for the new world,
arriving in New York April 20, 1886. He
had before his coming made application
to Bishop Kenrick. at Philadelphia, and
Bishop Brute, at Vincennes, Ind, for
pIace as a missionary, out nau Deen re-
fused He then offered his services to
Bishop Dubois, of New York.
He was taken care of by Bishop Du-
bois who, on June 10, made him sub
deacon, and a deacon on the 24th of the
same month. On the 25th of June the
orders of priesthood were conferred
upon him. After spending some years in
New York and in the West he was made
superior of the Redemption Convent at
Pittsburg, where he remained until he
was made bishop of Philadelphia, in 1852

RED CROSS NEEDS MONEY.
No Decrease In the Work With
Suspension of HostiIities,

The Red Cross Society is in need of
money and supplies with which to con-
tinue the work inaugurated by them
when war was declared.
Since the suspension of hostilities there
has been an impression in many quarters
that there is no longer any necessity of
contributing for Red Cross work, evil
IDENTIFY prompted by the belief that the
work of the society had in a certain de-
gree lessened.
The executive committee of the society,
however. has issued a statement in which
1t suggests that the Importance of con-
tinuing the Red Cross work at Montauk
Point cannot be emphasized too strongly.
There are also many other places partic-
ularly at Camp Thomas, where the work
to be done is still great and important,
and If 1t is to continue on it's present
scale the society will have to be given
very liberal support
The society is at present expanding in
delicacies and necessaries through its va
rious departments about $4,000 per day
| and ii is reaching not only the sick in
the hospitals who are in need of nursing
and delicacies, but also the convalescents
who need strengthening food and various
comforts.

LOST IN A STRANGE CITY.
Two Children Missed Their Train
En- Route to Richmond

Harris and Ellen Brown, aged respeo-
lively eleven and six years, had the un-
pleasant experience last night of being
left alone in a strange city, and for a
time the little waits were huddled on
bench in the Sixth Street depot, with very
slight prospect of getting started on their
way again. Their father is a telegraph
operator, employed by the Postal Tele-
graph Company in Richmond.
The two children had been spending the
Summer in Jersey City, and yesterday
they were put on train in charge OF the
conductor and started for their southern
home. Ii was necessary for them to
change cars in Washington, but they
missed the connection and were left be-
hind
When the train arrived in Richmond
without them their father teIegraphed TO
police headquarters here, and also TO the
Postal Telegraph office. Detective Wee
don went to the station, but in the mean
time a messenger from the telegraph
company had found the tots and taken
them to the office. There they made
friends with the operators and were cared
for until o'clock this morning, when
they were started on their way again.

MAKING A SAINT.
'anonizatfon of Bishop Neumann
Now Under Confederation

eahohizat1on of Bishop Neumann
Now Under Consideration.
The clergy and the laity of the Catholic
diocese of Philadelphia some time ago ne
titioned the College of Cardinals for tho
canonization of the Ri Rev. John Ne
pomucene Neumann, fourth bishop of
Philadelphia, Pa, who died in that CITY
January 5, 1850
The request met with favorable consid-
Grafton and a committee was appointed
to make investigation as TO the grounds
of the claim For some time past this
committee has been making inquiries
relative TO number of miracles said to
have been wrought by the distinguished
divine
Such investigations may extend over a
period OF years, and is a slow and tedious
process The petition is promoted by the
Order of Redemptorists. TO which Bishop
Neumann belonged Nor is the process
OF making saint a one-sided affair
While the committee and the friends of
the deceased are doing all in their mower
to give good and valid reasons WHY his
name should be placed on the calendar
Of saints, the devils advocate who is
a very important member of the board of
inquiry, is asiduously at work endeayor-
ing to find cause why he should not he
canonized.
There are three stages in the process
of canonization-the venerable, the blessed,
and, finally, the saint. The first of these
honors has already been bestowed upon
Bishop Neumann. If the College of Car
dinals decides to confer the title of saint
upon him he will be the second Catholic
clergyman in the Western continent, and
the first in North America, upon whom it
