SCHOOL AND CHURCH.

Three-fourths of the students in jap
anese schools are agnostics or atheists.
1t is estimated that there are 10000
pupils in the agricultural schools of
the United States.
The Presbyterian church of Canada
last year received for home missions
$106, 1894 and for. foreign missions
S175,222.s1.
The income of the Zenana Bible and
Medical mission of London for lastly
was 100000, the largest ever received
in one year.
In the Frankfort (Ky.) prison there
are two Christian Endeavor societies,
one for white men, with membership
of $50, and the other for colored men,
with membership of 9S.
In the vicinity of the Catholic uni
versity at Washington ground was re-
Gently broken for Trinity college. the
first Catholic institution for the higher
education of women ON this continent.
Roman Catholics form 75.40 Of the
population of Ireland, the actual num-
Der amounting to 3.547,3O7 in total
population of 4,704.75O. according to the
census returns in 1891. In the counties
of Antrim and Down, and possibly Fer
managh, the nbn-Catholic population
is the majority.
A Presbyterian clergyman, 1t is said,
has been experimenting by working IN
mines, foundries and brickyards. He
announces his conclusion that if can
didates for the ministry would work for
year among those who toll with their
hands, they would be better able to Ill
the pews in their churches with, work
ing men,
The Doukhobors, 1880 of whom re-
Gently immigrated to Canada, and were
assisted by the British Society OF
Friends, are secret Christian sect in
Russia who have been prosecuted for
$50 years. They are nonresistant, have
no priests or ceremonies, are commu-
nistic, tilling their fields in common,
and are scrupulously honest.

A COUNTESS REVENGE.
she Called Her Hated Rival to Her
Deathbed and DIshgured Her
for Life.

A tragic story of feminine revenge
comes from Vienna The count and
countess Napodano lived happily to-
gether until the count fell in love with
the daughter of the local doctor, Con-
cetto Deyajo by name, a charming
young girl of 1s years. The count de-
serted his wife and eloped with Con-
1cetta Devajo. The Countess Napodano
obtained divorce from her husband,
who then married Concetta. Two years
later Count Napodono and Countess
Concetta returned to Matuggacci. The
former Countess Napodano was now
on her deathbed. She sent a message
to the Countess Concetta that she would
like to see her before she died. The
countess, wishing to humor the wishes
Of the dying.woman, went to see her.
The invalid asked her TO stoop and kiss
her. AS the fresh young face Of her
rival came near her own the dying
woman raised herself, and by an almost
superhuman effort bit a piece clean out
OF concetta's cheek and mouth, then
fell back dead, with contented smile
on he- features. Concetta was dis
figured for life, and her husband, the
acI<le count. left her for new love-

Pastry and Pimples.

Pastry often makes pimples,
because many stomachs cannot
digest it, especially when taken
In large quantities. A person
who has any eruphons on the
skin should eat no cream puffs or
pie crust. Indeed, pork and veal
and pastry might better be
eschewed by everybody II tho
consensus of medical opinion has
any practical Importance. There
is a rash on the skin that often
appears on the face which 10
caused by eating sweetmeatA
Sugar, as everybody knows, IL
heating to the blood, and this
rash is probably due to overheat-
ing; it certainly is the effect Of
sugar. Very little sweet stuff
should be taken between meals,
because sugar ferments readily
and is most likely to be in tho
concentrated form in which it lies
on an empty stomach, and fer.
mentation badly deranges the d.
pestive organs.

1t should be understood once for
All that the sale of beer will not be
tolerated in Vinita. Those who
contemplate the establishment of
a "mist" joint here, and those
who assist them in the enterprise
are enemies 10 the good order,
peace and morality of the town
and will be SO regarded. The
offer of bonus of few hundred
dollars to the town will be no in
ducement. Public opinion is
against it, and against the man
who undertakes. AS an educa-
tional center Vinita don't need
saloons.

CLOTHES AND COLOR.
New Theory as to why People Are
white or Black-The Work
of Nature.

1t has long been known that climate
alone is not sufficient to account for q
colored people. Dark skins are by no
means confined to the tropics; they are
to be found in races even beyond the
temperate zone. This diversity, accord
ing to a writer in one of the American
magazines, can only be accounted for
by considering the different modes OF
life that have acted for centuries upon
the various classes and castles OF the
country. The coolie who works in the
fields with strip Of cotton cloth about
his loins is very dark, the merchant and
trader, who never go abroad without
being thoroughly clothed, are many de-
grees fairer.
1t is said that colony of Jews on the
west coast of India has been estab-
lished for nearly is centuries, but be-
cause they have not followed the habits
of the people as regards clothing, they
remain to this day white people. On
the otherhand, the Aryan populationo Of
India and Persia, originally a fair peo-
pie, by adopting the customs of those
countries, have become in great meas
ure a colored race. Accordingly, it Is
argued that the steady march of nature
is toward the evolution of a fair people
all over the wcrld. The layer Of dark
pigment beneath the cuticle prevents
the skin from blistering, and when

vinita wants street fair, an ar
tesian well, bridge, the weeds
cut, Rough Riders monument, a
ball team that can play ball away
from home, the earth and the full
ness thereof, and as much of the
universe as can be spared.-Clare-
more Courier.
The daily chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Ind. Ter. [Okla.]) 1898-1902, 1899-08-26

The question that some of our
business men are discussing is
whether Vinita should build
bridges over the streams east,
south and west of town at the
present time or wait till the coun-
try is organized into counties and
such bridges can be built at public
expense. We are of the opinion
that a few good steel bridges
would be good investment even
now. The extra trade that would
come to the town would soon pay
for them, besides the town would
improve more rapidly, and the
value of all property be enhanced.
II would dispense with the proba-
bility of other rival towns spring
ing up in this vicinity. If the
town expects to remain the center
OF trade that she now is, she must
see to it that the roads are made
passable, and the streams bridged.
If bridges are to be built by all
means build the best of steel ones
that will endure till long after the
country has undergone a change
of government.

barley and wheat were kept for several
