POPE AND UNITED ITALY.
Catholic Question Blocks the Way Of
Successful Government.

Catholic Question Blocks the Way Of .
successful Government
Both young and old. the holy father
said at Christmas, were wanted in the
Christian movement for the upraising
of the people, and young and old must
work hand in hand. These frequent
exhortations OF the pope to union
among Catholics suggests the existence
OF causes Of dissension, says the Tab
let.
There are Catholics of the old school,
fond Of quiet life. who refuse to take
note Of the changed conditions Of the
times; on the other hand. there are
ardent young spirits who forget that
there has been a past at all, and who
seek to impress their own ideas whole
and entire, as in a new creation, on the
Italy of today.
To these especially the holy father
addresses a former instruction on the
social movement, in which he urges
that 1t must be In continuity with the
past. must draw its inspiration from
religion, and its direction from the
pastors Of the church. There have
been some few who were ready to leave
the Roman question and the rights Of
the holy see In the background in their
eagerness to prove the democratic
character of the Catholic movement.
The Roman question does undoubtedly
block the way Of the Italian govern
ment, whose path will never be smooth
until it has solved 1t to the satisfaction
Of the pope.

like Victor Hugo and Catulle Mendes a

the weak. on the contrary. like Des-
cartes and Leibnitz, find their inspir-
alton lying down. Cujas usually wrote
lying on his stomach. Rossini and
Ambrose Thomas were inspired only
when in bed. Chateaubriand used to
dictate to his secretary while walking
barefooted up and down his chamber.
Bossouet wrapped his head in warm
linen, Balzac wore monks cowl and
Gautier a red dressing gown. It is said
that without his scarlet jacket M.
Francois Coppee could not write. Lord
Derby when writing filled his mouth
with cherry brandy. Fenimore Cooper

Distinguished Irishmen who Have Bees
Elected to High Positions.
The interesting question of rebels
in Parliament" which Is likely to en-
gage the attention OF the house of
commons few weeks hence, recalls a
famous phrase used by Sir Charles
Gavan Duffy in his first speech ON
Australian soil. He refused to apollo
gize in any way for his Irish career or
the part he had played In promoting
the '4S insurrection. AS regards Ire
land. he proclaimed himself to be still
"a rebel to the backbone and spinal
marrow" The speech created . tre-
mendous commotion at the time. but It
did not prevent his election to the first
parliament Of Victoria, or his attain
ing the premiership, or his receiving
knighthood from the queen. The ques-
ton was again raised In July, 1900.
when the Hon. Peter Lalor, another
Irishman, succeeded Sir C. @. Duffy In
the speakership Of the Victorian par
lament. A member of the government
violently protected against the highest
honor in the gift Of the house being be-
slowed on man who had fought
against the soldiers Of the queen. The
Conservative premier Of the period. the
late Hon. James Service. severely re-
buked his subordinate. and said the in
cident referred to In no way reflected
on Mr.. Lalor. rather the reverse. Mr..
Labor was the commander-in-chief Of
the rebel gold diggers Of Ballarat, who
on December 8, 1854. fought an en-
gagement with the imperial forces

Embarrassed ROYALTY.

On a recent occasion King Christian
of Denmark, while out for walk, met
one OF his courtiers who was renowned
for his stinginess. AS 1t happened, on
previous occasion the King had
treated" him, but his majesty, finding
that he had no money, the courtier
had to pay for the treat" and it had
come to the royal ears that the court
Ter had not yet finished grumbling at
having been 'bilked." Full Of desire
to repair the past. the King rushed
up to his subject: Nov. my dear
count. / am really going to stand treat
on this occasion" Then. 10 and be-
hold. as usual on searching for money.
the King found none! Luckily, at
that moment he saw through the open
door the Crown Prince and his equer-
ry riding by. The king rushed out
and called to his son: For goodness
sake, lend me some cash. I've stood
treat to Count So-and-so again, and
II he finds himself done for the sec
ond time he will raise a rebellion"
The situation was saved. but the court
has not yet finished its laugh.-Candid

MORAL CLOCKS.
monograph Suggested for the Correc-
tion of Forgetfui Habits.

Monograph sus:ested for the Correc-
tion of Forgetfui Habits.
Many people have lately amused
themselves by dipping into the future
and depicting all the luxuries Of life
that science is going to bring within
reach of the emptiest purse; but how
far these more ingenious inventors
will increase the happiness Of the
world is another question. A truly
appalling prospect for the future is
opened by the latest Austrian discov-
cry. II consists of clock to keep in
order those Of forgetful and irregular
habits. The system is Of the simplest.
A photograph is substituted instead
OF the more normal striking arrange
ment. and the Austrian inventor sug-
gests that for each hour of the day
some sentence intoxicating a special
duty should be spoken into the phono-
graph. One has heard of people who
affix in their bedrooms little moral
reminders, such as breakfast at
eight. or you'll be late, and very
wrong" but 1t is great many steps
worse to have clock charged at all
times Of the day with moral exhorta-
lions. In the hands of a faddist this
clock might be induced to preach the
evils of intemperance while the wine
was circulating at dinner. Its sense
of duty would be absolutely unfailing.
and, according to the Humanitarian, 1t
may always be trusted to remember
its message and to say the right thing
at the right time-"if 1t is wound up"
Indeed, the only hope for the future
Is that men will continue, as before, to
forget that winding process.

EVOLUTION OF ELEPHANTS.
Notable Find In Egypt Which May Solve
vexed Question.

Notable Find In Egypt Which May Solve
vexed Question.
The history Of the extinct members
OF the elephant order has always prov
ed Of interest because of the associa-
ton of primitive man as a contempt
rary Of the mammoth. Older elephants
than this big furred elephant are
known to science, and among them
stand out very prominently the masto-
dons.
One of the unsolved points regarding
elephant history in the past has been
the nature Of the links. which on the
evolution theory are bound to exist by
way Of connecting these giant Great
ures with their ancestors. says the
London Chronicle. DR.. c. w. Andrews
has been making notable find in
Egypt. such as may serve to supply the
gaps and to produce the missing
links" in the elephant chain Of descent.
He has found the fossil remains Of
an animal which, while smaller than
the mastodons, is evidently closely re-
lated to them on the one side. Beyond
this comes another fossil find of still
more primitive elephant that takes US
back in the family history to the
hoofed quadrupeds. This last form
may come to be regarded as the point
Of departure Of the elephant branch Of
the mammalian tree. The British Nu-
scum will probably be duly enriched
by the exhibition of these primitive
types OF elephant life.

STAR AND THE CRESCENT.
Latter II Not the symbol of the Mo-
hammedan Faith.

Anttor - MOI tno bymooh OF the MO
hammedan Faith.
While on this subject l would like
to correct popular mistake with re-
gard to the use Of the crescent by the
Turks on their flags. which for some
reason or another is regarded though
out the civilized world as the symbol Of
the Mohammedan religion.
This view is strengthened by the fact
that 1t Is used by other Mohammedan
rulers besides the Sultan OF Turkey
namely. the Bey of Tunis, the Sultan
of Morocco. the khedive. the Sultan
Of Muscat. etc.
The crescent is the symbol Of Byzan-
tine and has been chosen by this city
because the sudden appearance Of the
crescent moon revealed to the defend
ers of the city the approach Of the
enemy under Philip OF Macedon.
The crescent remained the symbol of
the Byzantine empire under all its sub
sequent changes and transformations,
and was only adopted by the Turks
after the overthrow Of the Grsek
Christian empire.
In fact. all reports to the contrary
Notwithstanding. the crescent was so
little the symbol Of the Mohammedan
faith during the time Of the crusades
that it was used by the crusaders as a
symbol OF their allegiance with the
Christian empire Of the East at Con-
stantinople against the Moslems. and

Cost of weddings.

A statistician in New Jersey, with
the lack of delicate feeling common to
his kind. has gone into the question of
the marriage process from a purely
economic standpoint. He finds that
the 1873 Jersey weddings celebrated
during the present year have cost
about s2.9S5,OOO in outfits, social fune-
lions, honeymoon trips. fees, presents.
etc. This is an average Of s1sS and a
few odd cents per wedding. The ex-
penses Of the courtship period are
classed as incidentals. and they range
from $40 per counting up into the
thousands. making an average of some
thing like s22. These figures show wsil
for an industry protected by the Lloyd
Marriage License law. They are net
eloquent as diseouragsrs of hesitation
before the matrimonial step.

An Old Explanation.

A man in Ness county got into print
the other day with the boast that he
possessed the most ancient almanac In
Kansas, the date of his book being
1919. And now comes a man in Smith
county with a whole library Of more
ancient almanacs. For example. he
has six consecutive annual issues Of an
almanac bearing the title. AN Astro-
.nomical Diary or Almanack." an Am
erican publication. the first Of the six
having the date Of 1863. The owner Of
these ancient publications is Mr.. A. G.
Coolidge, who appears to be quite a
collector. He has many old newspapers
and books. and Of one Of them, The
Smith County Pioneer" says: Mr..
Coolidge has book Of psalms and
hymns published In 1915 under the title
"Musica Sacra." Did you ever wonder
why 1t is that song books have the
soprano placed above the other parts7
The reason given In this book is: "As
female voices are, In general, more nu-
merous, the air in this work is uni
formly placed uppermost In the brace"

SCARF PIN COLLECTION.
Odd Fad Of Some Prominent New York
Roriatv Men.

Society Men,
Collectors of scarf pins-or tie pins,
to be more correct-are one OF the
fads OF New York men. The recent
robbery of Paul Gilbert Thebaud BY
his valet revealed that Mr.. Thebaud
was one who cultivated this hobby.
One of the largest collections of the
kind was left some years ago by Jim
ME" Wood, an eccentric bachelor, we'll
known in New York society, who lived
at the old New York hotel Mr.. Wood
left nearly 500 pins, which were dis
tributed to various friends. He was a
bachelor and native Of Baltimore.
His hair and whiskers were fiery red.
and for a long time he dyed them.
making them almost supernatural and
Mephistophelean in their effect Sud-
denly he gave up the deception, and
afterward appeared with snow-white
hair and side appendages. He was al
ways In love with the last society
beauty, but he would never propose.
and he took deepest umbrage IL any Of
them married. To one daughter of a
socially prominent family, famous
beauty still, he had left large sum
in his will. On her marriage, however.
he managed to change the amount OF
zeroes and the punctuation point so
that her dowry from him fell from
thousands to hundreds-not being in
clined to further express his dissat-
isfaction in legal codicil.
William Cutting and Center Hitch
cock have collections of the pins al
most as extensive as is that Of Mr..
Thebaud. Many of these were given
them at weddings at which they were
ushers.

CHAPTER XVI.


The moon was shining bright and
clear; the stars had gone to rest, leav-
Ing sentinel over the sleeping constel-
lations that one diamond-shaped planet
the Kirkstall folk had looked upon as
the star Of Bethlehem. when Mary
Lockwood laid herself at the foot Of
the awful tree and fell asleep.
Had her cruel destiny In its natural
sequence OF events led her there? Had
the Inspiration Of her love brought her,
in pathetic sympathy, to the feet of
him at whose grim altar she should
complete her moral sacrifice? Was 1t
q pagan sacrifice? Or was II the out
come of the Divine love that was above
all love, the Divine mercy which had
received the penitent words of the sin
ner In those last moments Of York Jail.
and selected this gracious time to give
them sign OF His Fatherly sympathy
and mercy? May 1t not be that under
this celestial inspiration His angels
seeking supreme opportunity to sig
nalize the blessed eve-had interceded
for both the loved and the lost, and,
purifying the grim sign of mans stern
justice. scattering the evil birds of hell,
had brought poor Mary where they
had found her. to transform that
wretched symbol Of mans unforgiving
creed into ladder of angel gold upon
which she passed In their sublime COM
pany to the sunny land of everlasting
peace.
1t was In some such strain that the
parson preached on Christmas eve.

body was black and stained thing,
there might be salvation; and perhaps
through the unconscious intercession
Of their poor, distraught sister, who
had called the heavenly hosts to that
modern crucifixion Of the modern thief,
In a blind hope that. as Christ had
opened the gates Of heaven to the peni-
tent thief on the cross, so In His in
finite goodness might He open them to
herself and her betrayer-to him by
reason of her love for him; to her by
reason OF her sufferings and her life,
all pure and true until he had crossed
her path. II the preacher drew a long
draft on their imaginations and hopes
and enforced his text with flights OF
religious fancy that may seem out of
