A Priests Defense

spects in manner worth noting
to Mr.. Charles Wolcott Mer-
riam, who, in making an ad
dress to the Yale university
school. used this language:
when we consider this calm
the light of the papacy it
cannot be taken seriously, but
it is somewhat mournful fact
that tenth of our population
are pledged TO the belief that
when the Roman pontiff gives
his occasional ex.cathedra ut
terances they are as the voice
OF God. If the congress of the
United States should decree one
thing and the pope of Rome
the opposite American Catho-
lies, theoretically, at least.
could have no choice in the
matter"
There are some people in this
country who believe these
things, and to them we com
mend the reply of the Suns
correspondent. In the course
Of it this Catholic Clergyman"
says:
l. Mr.. Merriam might as we'll
speculate on the effects of a
collision between the Northern
Pacific railroad and the wild
Irish Mail" as between the ex-
cathedra pronouncement and an
act of congress, for the reason
that the conflicting powers in
the premeSlS can never meet.
Congress can make no law in
regard to religion; and the pa
pal infallibility extends only to
faith and morals. AS the pope
has never lifted his little finger
in the hundred years of our
national existence. to direct
Catholics how to vote, it is safe
to predict he will not do so for
a hundred years to come, and
should he overstep the bounds
of his authority, Catholics,
Theoretically at least would
not be bound TO accept his sug'
gestion.
Passing to some other feat
ures of Mr.. Merriam's criticism
the writer continues:
II. Regarding the confes
sional. what does Mr.. Merriam
know about it that he ventureG
to malign the Catholic clergy
as if they Frequently yielded
to the temptation of abusing
the condolences they receive?
During priestly ministry O
nearly forty years, the write
can recall no single instance il
which the seal of confession
was violated, and having haC
to deal with hundreds of priests
he may lay claim to a large
experience than the callov
graduate of Yale. In passin:
we may remark that the hes
Catholics go oftenest to comics
sion; among them thousand
and thousands who never com
NIT a grievous sin. Experienc,
therefore, hardly bears out tn
statement that the confessional
makes sin too easy.
III. DR.. Bronson's words ma,

should be regarded as un-Amer

poses to send some of the water
from the iron spring to the chem
ist of the Agricultural College for
analysis.
The Special man never heard of
anything like this before, and
therefore considered it worthy of
record. Out in the Hills, near
Hot Springs, is something "a lit

mountain stream and stream
from the Hot Springs come to-

Forecasts for September.

In all probability a general Storm
disturbance, central the last two days
in August, will still prevail in the
middle ard eastern parts of the coun
try during the first day or two of
September. The moon is full on
August 2oth, is on the celestial equa-
tor on the goth, the central day OF a
Vulcan storm period, and in perigree
on September 1st. We have before
adnonished our readers that these
facts point to the,probability of equa-
torial storms to the southwark as
we pass from August into Septem-
Der. We do not affirm that they
must or will come, but there are suf-
flcient reasons to apprehend them,
and to make a prudent watch On all
marked indications the right thing.
If such barometic depressions do not
appear in and around the regions OF
the gulf by September 1st, the
weather over the interior will remain
warm and dry until we approch the
great epuinoctial perturbations sure
to develop later in the month.
About the time OF the moons last
quarter or extreme north declination
on the 5th, reactionary disturbances
will show themselves, when new
storm areas will appear, or general
storms, which may be advancing
from the equator, will become more
pronounced. As may be seen by
the storm diagram, the mercury per

iod is central on the 9th, extending
its influence from the Ist to the 18th.
At the same time the autumnal equi-
nox, being central on the 22nd, COW
ers, the whole month with its per-
turbating influence. This does not
imply that storms or other distur-
Dances must be taking place at that
time: but the relations of The earth to
to the sun are such that storm and
weather breeding" energies are en-
tering and impregnating and intensi-
flying the elements of the earth and
atmosphere all the time, and as re
suit OF these things, storms and
changes and changes peculiar to the
season are apt to break out any time
and sure to break out some time dur
ing the transition OF the seasons to
opposite ends of the globe, or in the
equinoctial period proper. One
hundred to one, the accompanying
storm diagram for September, and
the abutting periods in August and
October storm charts, will point out
the canters OF all the great disturb
ances and changes incident to the
autumnal equinoctial term. Watch
and see and say for yourself
AS we enter the regular storm per-
iod central on the 10th, we may ex-
pect very warm spell in most parts.
From about Monday, the 9th, to Fri
day, the ssI3th, barometric readings
will become disturbed, and danger
ously low depressions will admonish
of possible violence. Storms of this
period are apt to reach crisis, on
and touching the 10th, nth and 18th.
Tidal waves in the gulf and around
the coasts will be abnormally high
and fierce about the 18th and 13th.
In all probability general rain storms,
gales and changes Of weather will
visit the interior of the continent at
this time, as well as the coast region.
The magnetic and electrial forces
that normally lie dormant in our
globe and atmosphere, as a rule,
reach maximum state of unrest
and activity about September nth.
This is often manifested by earth cur
rents and auroral displays, disturb

TWIN SPRINGS.
Spring That Furnishes Soft and
Hard Water, Plenty Of il, as
Nav be Required.

Salem special: Out on his farm,
Dout eight miles northeast OF
his city, Frank B. Moore has a
sal interesting curiosity IN the
ay of spring. 1t is run, and
lie enbankment on one side is
some twenty-five or thirty feet
bove the water. The water ba-
n is about twelve feet square,
hid the water never-failing, pure,
lear, aud pleasant, and worth
undreds of dollars to the place.
But the fact that it has two
inds of water is what makes it
curiosity-one side sends out
lice, soft water for laundry and
imilar purposes, while the other
ide gusles hard water, appar-
ntly impregnated with iron,
lear, 10 to Is degrees colder than
he other side, and fine drinking
kater. That there was any diff
renee in the liquid was discover
! d when wall was built through

lar dairy purposes, and leav the
there for the household. Before
hat it was generly thought the
water was the same. But the
wall happened to separate the
bources of the water, with the re-
sult as before stated, and closer
examination developed that there
we're really two springs instead
IF one in the basin. The water

Cruelty of Docking.

Time and time again has the ques-
ton of docking the tails of horses been
discussed, and always the question of
humanity comes out on top. All the
driving horses in Russia have long
tails and the coachman Of an ordinary
Russian carriage takes no trouble to
prevent the reins from dropping about
his horses hind quarters. In spite of
this, however, the reins rarely become
entangled with the tail, and even il
they should do so the horses never
kick. This striking fact is an eloquent
answer to those who uphold the cruel
practice Of docking, on the grounds
that otherwise the horse is liable to flap
his tail over the reins.

Evaporating. Eggs.

A carload Of evaporated eggs shipped
by express and valued at $14, 1000 left
Springfield, Mo-, recently for San Fran
cisco, says an exchange, where it will
be placed on a steamer bound for Cape
Nome. The eggs were put in one
pound screw top tin cans, sixty cans in
a case, and will answer any purpose in
the culinary line except boiling. The
moisture being taken out of them when
they are prepared leaves nothing to
boil. The largest egg evaporating es-
Enlistment in the world is located at
Springfield. The process of evaporat-
ing is done with hot air, and it takes
eight hours to thoroughly eyaporate an
egg. About four dozen are equal to
pound of the preparation. The Spring
field factory employs seventy-fve peo-
pie, and it's capacity is about 400 cases
a day. The goods are shipped to all
foreign countries and in Europe espe-
cially is there big demand, as the En-
glish government has placed the prep
aration on the hospital supply list. The
Klondike country is a heavy user of
this brand Of evaporated eggs, as no
matter what the price of fresh hen
fruit be or how scarce it is, the evap-
Grated egg retains it's old price, and is
always on hand and ready for bust
ness.

Farm Cattle.

It is not true that the cattle business
to be profitable must be conducted on
the broad ranges of the Western plains.
That is one profitable system Of cattle
raising, but there is another which
yields fully as great profits for the cap
ital invested. Raising cattle on the
farm has in all countries and all ages
been found profitable, and more so
now than ever. By raising cattle on
the farm the farmer has a good mar
ket for all the feed he can raise, saves
labor and expense Of transportation
and avoids much loss from waste and
the hocus pocus of commerce. And one
of the main features of stock farming
is that it can be made to continually
improve the fertility and value of the
farm.-Texas Farm and Ranch.
