The household blessed with noble
daughters ought to be a happy one.
Ruskin says that most parents forget,
however to imbue them with a love Of
nature which is so invigorating and
healthful.
"Give them, says he mot only noble
teachings. but noble teachers. and give
them the help which alone has some
times done more than all other influ-
ences-the help of wild and fair ma
ture. You cannot baptize them rightly
In inch deep church fonts unless you
baptize them also In the sweet waters
which the great Law Giyer strikes
forth from the rocks of your native
land. You cannot lead them faithfully
TO those narrow, AK hewn church affairs
while the azure affairs in heaven re-

In the course of report of the 10
dustrial Commission on the distribution
of farm products, it is pointed out that
the average haul Of the American farmer
in getting his produce to market, or 10 the
nearest shipping station is IL miles The
average cost per ton for hauling over the
common country roads is IS cents per ton
per mile. or So per ton for l2-miIe haul
Careful estimates also, place the total tons
hauled at 900 900 900 per year and the
average haul at IL miles making the total
cost of getting the surplus products of the
farm to the local market or the railroad,
5000, 900, 900. This figure is greater than
the operating expenses of all the railroads
in the United States which for the year
ended June, 1898, were only 1918, oco 900
This cost will be greatly lesser ed by i'm
provements in roads.

Lincoln, Neb., May 20.-Bishop
Bonacum, of this diocese, has refused
to allow the mother of Edward Gag

the Catholic cemetery in this city.
The mother, Mrs. McEntee, of Platts-
mouth, desired to exhume the body,
which has been buried ten years, to
place it beside the remains of anoth-
er son at Portsmouth. The request
was refused, and when agents of the
mother persisted, a threat of criminal
prosecution was made. The matter
viii be taken to the courts.
In ecclesiastic law the wish of a dy-
ing person is regarded sacredly. Gag
ney had expressed a desire to be
buried on the Fitzgerald lot in the
Lincoln Catholic cemetery. The GENE.
terry is held, according to church Gus.
tom in the name of the bishop as per-
sonal property. Bishop Bonacum
holds that the wish of the dying man
shall be respected, and he win proceed

the remains.
