ed States have to do with it? Under
what statutes or what article of the
constitution would it be within the
province of state or of the federal
government to take action against the
Jesuits for admonishing their people
in this fashion on the matter of faith
and morals? Does the bishop think it
the province of the United States to
prevent, for example, our preachers
from warning the faithful against join
ing the Masonic order or from pointing
out the sinfulness of exclusively civil
marriage?
But let me ask the bishop question
or two:
Did he ever see this pamphlet from
which he quotes?
If so, has he verified the correctness
Of the translation from the Spanish?
Has he ever seen the Liberastus
newspaper, which he describes as the
"organ of the Roman Catholic church
in Manila?"
Is not the paper to which he al
ludes the Liberals, published by the
Dominican friars?
Has he not simply based his argu-
ment on newspaper dispatches?

He obeyed His wife.

The farther Horace Greeley got
away from Printing House square the
higher his spirits rose, and drive
along the winding banks of the Hud-
son, or Il trip across the water to Iona
island, he always enjoyed with the
enthusiasm Of a boy, says writer in
Lippincott's. Nothing worried him
when he was in the country. All his
cares and troubles were left behind
him, locked up in his desk in the Trib-
une office.
Mrs. Greeley was different from her
noted husband in this respect. She
brought her cares along with her, and
she used to spend considerable time
reproving Horace for his thoughtless-
ness, and in trying to keep him within
bounds. One day she kept at him until
he said: Cali right, mother; whatever
you tell me to do the rest of the day
I'll do"
A couple of hours later Mr.. and Mrs.
Greeley and Mr.. Hasbrouck were get
ting into the rowboat for their usual
daily trip to Iona island. Mrs. Gree
ley stepped in first, sat down, and
placed her parasol with the handle
resting on the seat and the other end
on the bottom of the boat; then, glanc-
ing up at Mr.. Greeley, who was wait
ing to get into the boat, she called
out:
"Now, Horace, be sure to step on my
parasol and break it getting into the
boat"
GAIL right; just as you say" re-
sponded Horace, cheerfully, and down
came his foot on the parasol, complete
ly wrecking it. Mrs. Greeley looked
daggers at him all the way to the
island, but happier man than Gree.
ley was during the rest of the trip
would be hard to find, and ever and
anon he could he heard chuckling soft
ly to himself, as If he had thought of
a good joke.
Mr.. Greeley made matters right
when they got back to the Peekskill
side by buying Mrs. Greeley new
parasol and handing it to her with the
bantering remark:
There mother, is a brand new sun
shade for you, much finer than the old
one; and now don't you ever tell me to
step on it unless you expect me to do
it. l always obey the orders of my
superior officer"

War Teaches Geography.

An English statesman once said
that there was one good thing about
war--it teaches people geography. This
has been trne of the last three years,
so far as our public schools are con-
cerned, as the conflicts beginning with
the Spanish-American war have given
great impetus to the study of geog-
raphy among the pupils. a study that
would otherwise have passed Off in Il
lackadaisical sort of way has been
taken up with much eagerness and at
tention.
A teacher in one Of our public
schools, who has under her supervision
class Of boys ranging from 8 to IL
years, said that the pupils now are A.
No. in geography, and she would not

Lord Kelvia's Faith In Fir ures.

Lord Kelvin, otherwise Professor
William Thomson, is a world-famous
scientist with fellowships and men,
berships galore in the learned societies
of the civilized nations of the world,
says the Saturday Evening Post. He
is but little less than 80 years of age,
but still retains the position, that he
has held for over two-score years, 1T
professor of natural philosophy in the
University of Glasgow, the institution
where he himself was educated. AS a
professor he has some peculiarities,
and one Of them is the habit of saying,
when a doubling question is put to
him as to the absolute certainty of
some proposition:
Didn't figure that out MYSELF"
The question is not put irritably or
realistically, as rule; it is merely
the natural remark of man who has
been an acknowledged leader of world
wide fame for so many years.
One day, when lecturing on electric
ity, he told his class that, while u
voltage of three thousand or so would
be fatal to man, a voltage of, say,
some three hundred thousand would
be perfectly harmless.
With q current of far more than or
binary voltage he was going to give
them practical illustration of the
fact on himself, right before them.
The students could hardly believe
their ears, but as he stepped toward
the electrical transformer a cry of dis
sent and horror went up.
''Try it on dog! Try it on an ami
mall" came from all parts of the lee
ture-rOom.
Lord Kelvin turned in stiff dignity
and cast look of reproach over the
class. These were his own pupils who
were doubling hint was in his be-
loved University of Glasgow. To
doubt on some minor point would not
have hurt him, but to think that they
could question the reliability of his
carefully prepared figures on matter
Of such moment was really painful.
For few moments he looked at them
in silence.
Didn't figure it out myselfy' he

be surprised if nearly every one of
them graduated when his time comes
with 100 per cent to his credit in this
particular branch Of study. The Span
ish-American war, the trouble in the
Philtppines,:,th the Transraal~ war, the
Chinese troubles and other imbroglios
have opened up new channels of study,
and the boys wanted to know all about
where the troops landed, the routes
they marched, where the battles were
fought and hundred and one other
things.
$50 you can see," said the teacher,
that their knowledge Of geography is
much greater than it would otherwise
have been, rs it was made interesting
by n study of coming events in those
particular countries. Thus the geog-
raphy of these conflicts and the his
tory of them is pretty well fixed in the
pupils minds"

said ut length; and then there was
only silence as he continued on his
way to the apparatus and safely
turned the tremendous voltage into

The Late Marcus DAILY.

One of the most striking characters
in Montana was the late Marcus DAILY.
the Anaconda millionaire, the cele-
DRAFTED horse owner and one of the cop
per kings Of the United States. No
one knew how much DAILY was worth.
He owned a bank or so, nm electric
railroad, big hotel, something like
100000 worth of horses and lands
and one-fourth interest in the Anacon-
da copper mines, which are among the
biggest and best paying of any in the
world. The army of employees who
worked under him was as large in
number as that which Xenophon led
in the famous retreat described in the
Anabasis, and his payroll run into the
tens Of thousands per day.
Still, he came from ireland, where
he was born, to the United States
poor boy, and when he landed in San
Francisco ut the age of 10 he had not
cent in his pocket and trotted up and
down the board walks for three or
four days seeking Job. He looked in
vain, until at about the end of the
fourth day he saw an old farmer III q
wagon driving through the streets. He
stopped him and said: Haven't you
got something out Mt your place that
/ can do?"
"Well, l don't know, young man.
What can you do?"
II can do anything" replied young
DAILY.
Can you dig taters?'
Eyes, can," said DAILY, and the man
thereupon told him to get into the
wagon, and he took the boy home to
his ranch. This was some place east
Of Oakland, and DAILY dug potatoes
for the old rancher for three weeks.
He said it nearly broke his back, but
lie stuck to it until he got a little
money, and then, boy as he was, he
started for the mines There he laid
the foundation of the great fortune
that he accumulated in after life.

which one man hit the other
with a shovel. A host of wit
nesses had been called, who
"beat about the bush" in the
most tedious and provoking
manner. This annoyed the
lawyer for the prosecution,
who broke out as follows:

evidence to convict the prison
er. Now, sir" he savagely
continued, do you hear me?

to his seat.
