The Friars' Lands.

1T is apparent that the administra-
ticn intends to use the money of the
nation to buy the friars out of the
Philippine archipelago. says the Chi

The lands thus acquired should be

United States. Ii should be made ille-
gal for the government to part with
the fee. Use of the lands should be
given at a reasonable price to actuun
settlers. If adequate precautions be

MOUNT PELEE'S ERUPTION.
The Story OF 81. Pierre Told BY

Father Jean Alte Roche, pastor at
Morne Vert, tells the following story
of the destruction of st. Pierre OH Nav

on Mont Pelcc. which compelled atten.

all were thrown to the ground. The

TOTAL ABSTAlNERS.
Thirty-first Annual Convention In
MINNEAPOLIS.


The thirty first annual convention Of
the Minnesota Total Abstinence society
was opened last Thursday morning by
the celebration Of solemn high mass
at st. Anthony's church. The sermon
was preached by Rev. Nj. j. Egan,
spiritual director OF the diocesan
union.
At 2 p. III. the regular business ses-
sion of the convention began at Padua
hall. Reports of the societies We're
read; also an exhaustive paper Oh the
temperance movement in the Catholic
church by Rev. j. ]. Hand.
Ninety seven delegates from differ
emit parts Of the diocese were present

Tlle first meeting ut which lie was
present was held thirty-one years ago
in Ingersoll hall, st. Paul. A sugges-
ton Of sadness came with look int }
the past at the thought of some who
had fallen in the ranks, but this fact
was lightened by the knowledge that
many of the old warehouses; remained.
Among all the societies none have bat
tied more fiercely or steadfastly than
that of st. Anthony. How often dur
ing those thirty-one years had the raj
lying call, "St. Anthony" been heard,
and the ever ready response, "Here
we are.' For many years, through
difficulties hard to surmOunt, there was
no increase in membership, but there
was no decrease, the twenty-five irwin
| chile members ever remained.
The story Of that thirty-one years
of. effort would be hard to tell. The
success of the movement could not be
measured by number but by its far
reaching influence among the church,
the families, the individuals. Even if
the society went out of existence today
it's influence would remain a monument
to it for succeeding generations.

hence society are the best soldiers of

HER MONEY.

It is not often that an audience sees an actress scrambling for money strewn at her feet on the stage, but this is what occurred at Keith's thea ter. It was just at the windup of the Pony Ballet" in which sextette of comedy girls do some lively dancing.
 Kicks, contortions and handsprings lead up to particularly energetic skipping rope dance, in which the young women perform their liveliest pranks. It was just as the curtain was falling. All the dancers were scurrying from the stage except the fluffy damsel on the extreme right. Of a sudden she was seen scraping together a small pile of bank notes scattered at her feet. The audience looked and laughed. For a moment they thought someone had been throw ing money at her, for it was plainly genuine cash; then they thought it was a joke-and then they gave it up. Few knew that the bills had fallen
 from their hiding place somewhere about the scanty costume of the dan cer, where, womanlike, she had tuck ed them away. as she thought for safe keeping. Philadelphia Bulletin.

 There were no catch questions in the arithmetic, just plain work involving no large numbers, yet the results were very poor, so poor that I determined to examine the entire room in the funda- writing numbers, addition multiplication, division and one prob lem involving multiplication and divis- ion. The results were as follows:
 Fifth grade, 12 examined, passed average. A.
 Sixth grade, 1 examined, none passed average, .56.
 Seventh grade, 10 examined, passed, average 60
 Only one pupil, Willie Kopp, had an average over 70 per cent for the entire examination.
 l would recommend that this pupil be transferred to the seventh grade, at the Bank street school; also that the eleven pupils in the seventh grade be placed in the sixth grade; that the sin gle sixth grade pupil remainaas now; that four pupils of the fifth grade whose number as ?, ,, 6 and II, be placed in the fourth grade. and that the others remain in the fifth grade. This will not wholly solve the problem. but it is the best that can be done at present. It is difficult to assign these pupils to any particular grade for there is among them no uniformity of schol- arship. If these pupils are to be put or their feet it will be necessary to re- view them from the beginning, in a thorough manner. Much time should be given to individual needs, but the daily recitation ill which every pupil should take part must not be neglected. With only twenty-four pupils i'll this IOOAI iAOIC IS lO ssOOu 1CdSOH WHY these pupils cannot be brought up to grade. But this will never be accom- plished by the endeavor to take up new work. It is folly to expect pupils to work accurately in measurements and interest when they are unable to multi ply or divide with accuracy, and what is true of arithmetic is true of every study.
 If the board so desires. the pupils whose numbers are ?. 8, and II, as they are quite advanced in years, might remain i'll the fifth grade where it would be necessary for them to re- ceive special attention.
 On motion of Commissioner Chap man it was voted to carry out the su, perintendent's recommendation regard ing the four or five pupils referred to.
