Among the. statuary in Notre Dame
NO piece is more admired than little
statue of the Virgin, carved from the
purest white marble, standing on u
pedestal of the same material, which
was presented to the church by Pope
Plus TX, in 1872, together with a small
golden cross which the pontiff was in
the habit of wearing on his own person.
Second in general esteem is a bronze
sta tue of St. Peter, a copy of the one
in Rome. It's feet are kissed by wOr-
shippers who desire to gain so days of
indulgence. But interesting as all
these statues are, in impressiveness
they are far behind the grand main
altar with its six groups of statues and
bas reliefs. all of which are ma gnificent
masterpieces of sculpture in wood, the
work of Bouriche, the famous artist
of Anglers, France. Most notable
among these figures are The Sacrifice
of Isaac" and "A Priest of the Son of
Aaron Offering Up the Sacrifice of
Spotless Lamb The grandest group
is one entitled The Bloody Sacrifice of
Christ" The Virgin is there standing
at the foot of the cross, a sword of
agony piercing her very soul, while she
offers herself up as victim with her
Divine Son. ST. John, overcome by
sorrow. has turned away his face, I'M
abe longer to look upon the Saviour,
and Mary Magdalen is weeping over
the sins she has so generously expi-
ated.
LIE eros Bourbon" the great bell of
Notre Dame, is famed for the richness
of its tone. It weighs 24,78G pounds,
is six feet high, and at its mouth meas
ures eight feet and seven inches in
diameter. It hangs in the western
tower. In the eastern tower are hung
ten smaller bells, toned in such perfect
harmony that almost any sacred air
can be executed while they peal. The
great organ is also an object of general
interest. It has 5,772 pipes, from the
size of a quill to huge tubes more than
30 feet long. Six years were required
to build it, and Fred Archer, the IA
nous organist. who inaugurated it on
Easter day, 1891, pronounced it the

BRAN AND MIXED FEED.
AduIteration of Both Have Recently
Been Discovered in Several
Eastern States.

A communication from the Vermont
experiment station says: Some months
ago the Maine experiment station re-
ported finding upon the market guam
titles of bran and mixed feed which
were seriously adulterated. The same
thing is to be found in Vermont to
some extent. The experiment station
at Burlington states that in the course
of its inspection work under the state
law it has found one sample of bran
worth but little more than half what
standard bran should be worth; that
sample of much the same character has
been sent from another portion of the
state, and that attempted sales of
mixed feeds of known low grade have
been reported. The state law requir-
ing the inspection of feeding stuffs for
cattle does not cover bran, middlings,
ETC., and adulteration may go on in this
class of goods unchecked except by the
watchful eye of the buyer. Each and
every user of this class of goods may,
however, if he will, protect himself by
sending samples to the station for free
analysis. He will do well before buying
to investigate as to the source of the
bran and refuse any which does not
bear brand stating it's origin. It is
only proper to remark that adultera-
ton of this class of goods is still rel
atively rare and should be guarded
against. 1t will be well for buyers to
seek to learn the source of the goods
offered and to refuse such as do not
bear a brand stating their origin. In
particular one should look askance at
any goods selling below the market
price

But imposing as is the outside of
Notre Dame it pales into insignificance
when contrasted with the richness of
the interior. Paintings, gildings. sculp-
lures and stained glass-every piece a
master work-almost confound the
senses, but fill the heart and mind with
sublime reflections. The vastness of
the auditorium, which is capable of ac-
commodating $1,000 persons, inspires
admiration which is heightened when
the eye slowly travels from altar to
altar, from chapel to chapel, and final
~ rests upon the grand main altar, the
richest of its kind in the western hem
isphere. One is oppressed by the
grandeur of his surroundings when
entering this noble temple of the Lord
for the first time; and that this feeling
is experienced not by adults only, but
by children as well, came home to the
writer most forcibly when he heard a
red-headed youngster from ST. Paul re-
mark to his mother: 'Say, ma, this
makes me feel like 80 cents" Little
Redhead might have couched his re-
Election in more elegant, certainly not
in more effective, language. In the
slang of the day he translated the
thought WHICH possessed MS SrOWn-up
companions.
To describe the beauties of the vari-
Gus affairs and chapeIs which adorn
the western and eastern side aisles of
the church in a newspaper article
would be impossible; but few words
about the new chapel of Notre Dame of
the Sacred Heart, which is one of the
choicest monuments of art in America.
are almost Indispensable. 1t is nearly
100 feet in length, 60 feet in width, and
IS feet in height, and its sculpture,
paintings and decorations can be stud
led for hours in the smallest details. In
the harmony of it's lines and splendor
of concentrations this chapel rivals
the church proper, and its numerous
paintings are considered the finest in
Canada, probably North America.
The confessionals. placed between
affairs, are triumphs of the wood carv-
er's art, and the visitor who is chaper-
oned by guide is treated to a lesson
on the duty of confession while admir-
ing their richness. Confession, prac-
ticed since the earliest days of the
Catholic church, we are told, is based
on John 2O:21, p. %. On the evening
of the resurrection Jesus entered the
chamber where His disciples were as
sembled, stood in their midst and said:
peace be unto you, as My Father has
sent Me, even so [ send you. Having
said this He breathed on them and
