ing of the situation can scarcely be
had by any one not thoroughly famil-
lar with the French people and the
combined religious and political
features of the nation for long Sc
ries Of years, but, as far as the
SIGNAL is able to gather the threads
together, it bears great resemblance
to simple religious persecution. 1t
is an eruption of that pitifully, pur-
blind streak in human nature which
seems more aggravated under reli-
gious intoxication than under any
other influence, and which has left it's
baleful trail of intolerance down
through all history. The refusal to
allow others to enjoy their beliefs,
has written it's disgracetul legends
everywhere; the expulsion and OPP
preston of the Alexandrian nuns
the days of the inquisition, the &C.
clesiastical contests of Constantine s
time, the Huguenots, Bartholomew,
pilgrim fathers and days of Salem
witchcraft, and an endless amount
OF other citations, all speak with re-
proach of the fanatical, bigoted side
of man-illiberality and bullyism
which bellies the high intellectual es-
tate to which he has always laid
claim. France has had many relig-
ious disturbances in her career. The
French people as a class are Catho-
lie people but the official reins are
apparently held by strong anti
Catholic influences which are at the
present time taking advantage of
some old laws to bring the denomina-
tional schools under the government
mill stone. AS we CLEAN the situa-
ton, there were, about the year '84,
passed what are called the associa-
ton laws, ostensibly designed to
build up system of public schools
similar to the system Of this country,
and the government has expended
millions OF francs in erecting these
establishments, but the Catholic
schools are dear to the people of
France, and, while contributing cheer
fully the taxes 10 sustain the public
schools, they continued to send the
children to the schools OF the nuns,
as hundreds Of thousands OF Catho-
lies do in this country, the result is,
as we learn, that there is great
number of public educational
institutions which are devoid of
students, although large
corps of teachers are main
tanned. At the time of the enact
ment OF the association laws, there
was included what is known as the
authorization provision by which
Catholic schools could be conducted
on receiving official authorization.
but to secure this authorization it |
was necessary to pay certain taxes
upon the property held by denomina-
tlonal institutions, and these taxes
are applied in way to form spe-
cial burden upon them-for instance
an existing institution in the hands
of board of trustees is not assessed
against the possessory organization

alton, but the whole value is assessed
against each one of the persons con-
shutting the board or body in which
the title is vested. '

THOSE RAILROAD O
Reno Papers Cannot Agree As to What Shall
Be Done With Them.

The Reno papers are having a diff
cult time in reaching a decision for
the Southern Pacific Company as to
whether or not it shall move it's shops
from Wadsworth to Reno. The Journal
has isseud it's ultimatum commanding
Wadsworth shop buildings and begin
the work of reconstruction in Reno at
some point to be designated by the
Journals reporter as soon as he can
find the time to decide upon a site and
lay out the work for the railroads con-
struction department. These active
the ratty old Gazette into the worst
kind Of a furry. The necessity of com
batting the Journals plan of campaign
causes the Gazette Journalist to
make an extraordinary effort to collect
his thoughts and the resultant an
nouncement is that the Southern Paci-
to Reno at all.
In the meantime the railroad COM
pany, with the heartlessness character
istic of corporations, is reported to be
going ahead with it's plans, seemingly
wholly unmindful of the columns of
weighty advice it Is receiving gratis
from the Reno papers.
The Silver State has no wish to be-
come embroiled in the controversy, but,
| regardless of consequences, cannot help
but thinking o sad it would be, what
weeping and wailing and gnashing of
Reno molars, if those much-discussed
Wadsworth shops should eventually
be located in Winnemucca instead of
Reno.

German as described in the Baltimore
Sun, fulfi!ls expectations.
Consul Frankenthal of Berne reports
the invention in Germany of a method
of utilizing sawdust as a foodstuff for
horses and cattle without the aid OF
the green goggles of the traditional
anecdote. There is a residue of the
beets consumed in beet sugar factories
called ''melasse,' which contains about
so per cent of uncrystalliZed sugar
This melasse is to be mixed with saw
dust, which is shown by analysis to be
more nutritious than straw. Straw
contains over 31a per cent of albumen
1914 per cent of nitrogen, IA per cent
of fatty substance and 39A per cent
of wood fiber, while pine sawdust has

and the same nutriment remains when

report, when certain chemicalS-salt

sawdust or ground corncobs and stalks
that have undergone a certain ferme emit
ing process the resultant product is a
food for animals that is easily assim
Hated and digested and is liked by cat
tie, horses, sheep and pigs. The valu-
able properties of this prepared food
are based upon the nutritious matter
contained in the wood (Which is set
free by the fermenting prOcess), mixed
with large percentage of melaSse.
To the fermented sawdust may be add
ed potato Feelings, bran and the like
and then from 20 to so per cent OF me-
lassc is to be mixed in so as to be alb
sorbed by the sawdust.
Inventors have often attempted tC
turn sawdust to use, without practical
results so far. One proposal is to con
vert it into fuel by pressure or by mix
ing with tar or other substance. An
other scheme is to blow sawdust into
furnaces. The schemes are innumer-
able and do very well except to the
eye of the bookkeeper. If the nutri-
tious elements of sawdust can be made
available by partial fermentation a
great point is gained. But the horse
and COW which are to eat the mixture
are yet to be heard from.

First Use of Maxim Guns.

The British officer, Maj.-Gen. Sir
Francis de WintOn, who died recently
in Wales at the age of sc, was the first
man who fired a Maxim gun in war.
1t was he who first demonstrated the
practical use of the new gun. All
doubt as to the efficiency of the Hea-
pom passed after it had once been put
to this test of war While its utility
was still uncertain its inventor was
asked by a government committee to
have 10000 rounds fired at the highest
possible speed and the experiment was
carried out. But still the committee
was not satisfied. Gould you guar
antee your gun to go on firing auto
matically at the same rate for, say
twenty-four hours?" asked the chair
man. The inventor replied that he
could and would on one condition
that the government found and paid
for the ammunition. The first inclina-
ton of the committee was to accept
the suggestion. but somebody calcu-
lated that the number of rounds would
be S64 900. and that the cost would be
about 1000, and the committee sud-
denly decided that it was satisfied
without the new trial.

Some Point. on Oats.


From the Farmers Review: I have
considerable experience farming, and
raising stock for the past forty-six
years. Every year l raised more or
less oats. I have always found the
oat crop very profitable and very nee
essary in raising colts, calves and
pigs, to give them bone formation.
l never raise oats to sell. l always
raise them to feed on the farm. I cut
them at the proper time, and thresh
as soon as they will do. so l get the
full benefit of straw, which is WORTH
half its bulk in hay, If it is kept in the
dry. There is more profit in oats, If
fed to good, well-bred stock, than to
scrubs. One way 1 have found profit
in the oat crop is, we live in country
where we raise winter wheat. l al
ways had better yield of wheat. from
three to five bushels to the acre, when
it followed an oat crop, and could al
ways make smoother surface to SOW
grass seed for meadow. And when
don't want to follow it with wheat

woman in a moment of WEAKNESS with
domestic duties said: Rather than
go on like this month after month
forever. I'll ask the first man who
passes if he wants a wife" Her fellow
servant challenged her to put the
question to a man just then passing
by. The young woman was not pre-
pared to be taken at her word so sad
ienly, but in desperation, bethought
herself of a way of escape. She hur-
cedly exclaimed, as the unknown was
pa ssing: DO you want wife,"
Yes" was the unexpected reply from
the young man who also hailed from
the principality, and, with Celtic
sprightliness, followed into the hall
the blushing girl, who had fled upon
nearing the familiar word. The maid

neat; the swain was an industrious
and ambitious young dealer, with

Progress In Horticulture

From Farmers Review: In horti-
culture the greatest advancement is
IN orcharding. Farmers are begin
ming to see that they must cultivate
and take care of orchards as we'll as
other farm crops. Spraying is also
receiving more attention than former
ly, and now apples being good price
will be quite an inducement to those
having orchards to give them more
attention.
