Catholic Question Blocks the Way

Catholic Question Blocks the Way of a
Successful Government
Both young and old, the molly 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
let
There are Catholics of the old school,
fond of quiet life, who refuse to take
note Of the changed conditions of the
times; 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, the
Italy of today
To these especially the holy father
addresses a former instruction the
social movement in which he urges
that it must be in continuity with the
past, must draw its inspiration from
religion, and it's direction from the
pastors Of the church There have
been some few who were ready to leave
theaRoman question and the rights of
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 it to the satisfaction

What the People want.

There is no general demand for tariff
changes. The country is prosperous.
labor is everywhere employed at high
wages, capital is being invested with
profit to the capitalist and benefit to
the country What the people want is
to be let alone. so far as tariff tinker
ing is concerned. Tariff changes by
reciprocity treaties by any other
method unsettIe business and disturb
industrial and agricultural interests.
1t is a mighty good time to let well
enough alone and just give the people
a chance to enjoy the prosperity with
which the country is b1essed.-River-

SAW A VOLCANIC ERUPTION.
Vcsuyius I'm Action Described by Sen.
at0r Proctor, Who witnessed
the Spectacle.

Senator Proctor, of Vermont, knows
what it is to see volcanic eruption.
Twenty years ago he stood upon the
side of Vesuvious while that mountain
belched forth lava and smoke, says the
Washington Post. eve had gone up
part of the way in carriages" said Mr..
Proctor, recently, relating his expert
ence, "but when we came to the place
where we were to take the cog rail-
way, we found that there had been an
accident, and the cars were not rum
ming. About dark the manager sent
everybody away, with the statement
that no ascent would be possible until
the next day. Being compelled to leave
Naples on the following day, and hav-
ing letters to the nanager.I persuaded
him to let me have some guides and
try to ascend the volcano C.. FOOT. He
consented, and we started. i ould

fire and lava were pouring fortf. and
even where we stood a shower It
pumice was falling. We tried to get
the guides to take an American coin
and get an impression of it in the soft
lava, but they would not do it. The
stuff was too hot. remember that it
was midpight when we reached the
highest accessible point on the sum-
nit; but the stream of red-hot lava
made the locality as light as day."

TREASURE ISLANDS.
When They Are Found the ssUntold
Riches" Are Never in
Evidence.

One feature characteristic of all
treasure islands is their lack of treas
ure. 1t is dall seaport that is with
out at least one old salt with story
to tell about some fabulous amount
of gold buried somewhere. Writer'S
of fiction delight in tales of this sort,
for they are easy to write and easy
to sell, says the Tacoma Ledger. 1t
is no uncommon thing for an indi-
vidual to turn up with a map Of the
district where the treasure awaits a
claimant. AS a rule this map has for
it's basis tale that was originally
the substance of dime novel. The
usual explanation of the possessor Of
the map is that it came to him from
the hands of penitent and dying
pirate who had never dared to ex-
pose the truth, for be it known this
pirate had been one of the pirate
crew that used to cache it's loot in
the sands of the far-away isle.
Usually he had been the last sur
vivor, all his associates having killed
each other or died before getting
their nerve to the proper pitch to
make the revelation. Listening to
this, some person of adventurous
turn believes it, fits out boat and
away he sails. To find the island is
not difficult matter. There is never
any profit in finding it. If there had
ever been treasure there somebody
else knew it and reached the spot
first. The pirate of the raging main,
even while actively in business, did
not have in mind the benefit of fu-
ture generations

FALL OF VOLCANIC DUST.
Am Immense Amount from the Sou
friere Came Down on
Barbados.

The Barbados. Agricultural Report
er has sent to this Office a specimen Of
the volcanic dust which fell on that is
land on May Z, 8 and 9, reports the New
York Tribune. 'Borne from ST. Vim
cent" it says, Gin the upper strata of
the air. and there suspended, this stuff
obscured the sunlight. and produced
the phenomenon of darkness. In color
and consistency it resembles Portland
cement" It quotes the following de-
scription of the dust by w. G. Freeman,
of the local department. of agriculture:
''From the calculated results Of a
series of observations made in Strath-
clyde on the fall of volcanic ASH it
would seem that, at low estimate,
about 13 ounces fell per square foot
between the hours of five p. m. on
Wednesday and five a. m. on Thursday.
This, perhaps, may not appear large
amount; but look at it from another
point of view. Thirteen ounces per
square foot means III ounces per
square yard, or, to express it in famil-
lar terms in an agricultural COM
munity, no less than 1872 tons per acre.
Leaving for the while minor units,
such as acres, we find that 1920 tons
of volcanic ash were rained onto
every square mile of this island during
the last 12 hours Of darkness. SuppOs-
ing the fall to have been approximately
equal in depth over the whole island,
the almost incredible amount OF $685. :
$40 tons of solid matter was added to
the Barbados last night"

MOUNTED FOR HIGH SPEED.

method. This way of hanging is best
adapted to stones of not too great di-
ameter. With too large stone the in
crease of speed might be more than
counterbalanced by the extra power
required to turn the crank. To mount
grindstone in this manner, obtain
first a two-inch plank about four feet
in length and as wide as possible, say
15 inches. At the center of plank
mortise three holes in which to insert
solid1y three two by three-inch up
rights, which serve as bearings for the
grindstone and the cog wheels. Two
of the uprights are each twenty-four
inches long and the other twelve
inches. The two long upright pieces
may be spaced apart to agree with
thickness of the cog wheels and the
shorter upright, at side of grindstone
mot shown in illustration) may be set
about four inches from the one next to
it, distance depending on thickness Of
the stone. Procure two metal cog
wheels from some piece of unused ma
chinery, one fifteen inches and the
other three inches in diameter. Have
the large wheel turn on an axle with
a crank in bearings on top of long up
right pieces, and engage in the teeth
of the small wheel. The small cog wheel
is p1at on end of the grindstone shaft,
which extends between the long up
rights and size of cog wheels may, of
course be adapted to the size of stone
OF kind of wheels found available. Put
water box or trough under the stone
in position indicated by dotted lines.
Put on legs and braces as indicated.
Fig. shows quick and satisfactory
method of mounting which may be
made use of for large and heavy stones
as we'll as for those of small diameter.
Secure the fork of tree that has not
too much spread, and after squaring it
somewhat with an AK. put legs in each
fork and at the butt end. Fasten the
bearing on top so as to allow the stone
to revolye between the forks. 1t is not
necessary, except perhaps for appear
ance. that the forked frame be sawed
perfectly square as in the illustration.

MOUNT ETNA STILL SLUMBERs
The Great Sicilfan Volcano Has Re-
mained Quiescent Since the
1890 Eruption.

The height of Mount Etna, the IA
nous volcano of Sicily, has long been
fixed ut 1O,s66 feet. Its height has re-
Gently been more accurately measured
by trigonometrica1 processes and the
exact elevation is found to be 10.775.
The difference is>1ot important, but the
more exact determination will, of
course, be given on the maps hereafter
published. The main crater has a
width of 1,728 feet and depth of SIG
feet. Mount Etna has periods of al
most complete quiescence. Six years
had elapsed after the eruption OF 1892,
when in the autumn of 1898 blue flames
began to emerge from the mouth of the
largest crater and a great deal of vapor
was emitted from the lesser orifices.
It was then announced that Etna
seemed to be preparing for an effusion
of lava, probably on the south or
southwest slopes. The expected erup-
ton, however, did not begin till the
morning of July 10, 1899, when great
volumes of smoke and lava began 20
issue from the main crater, but after
several days the activity gradually
subsided, and Etna soon resumed it's
peaceful aspect and has since seemed
to be in slumberous condition.

THE FARM GRINDSroNE.
Much of It's Usefulness and Avafla.
bility Depends ON the Way i'm
Which 1t Is Mounted.

= The old-fashioned home-mounted
grindstone is rapidly going out of use
on the modern farm. When ball
bearing stone, mounted with foot
power attachments and furnished with
a seat for the operator, can be pur-
chased for less than 50, the farmer who
has need of a new grlndstone and who
has a workshop or other place to keep
it, is generally willing to pay a few
cents more when purchasing and get
one of the readymounted conveniences
instead of buying stone and fixtures
and doing the mounting himself. For
certain kinds of work, however, the
stone with crank for hand-power is
sometimes preferable to one operated
by foot power. The man holding the
tool or object to be ground can give
more attention to what he is doing
when he does not have to use his feet
to keep the stone turning, and can hold
the tool more steadily.
To do good and speedy work in most
cases the grindstone should revolve
as fast as possible, and in Fig. 1 is
shown a method of mounting that per-
mits greater speed than the ordinary

POTATO EXPERIENCE.


When l first began tilling the soil
was told that ground that was not
good enough for other crops was
good enough for potatoes and that
they would grow whether the ground
was cultivated or not. AS I had
about an acre of just such ground
and plenty of good seed planted it.
This was about the middle Of June.
1t took nine bushels Of seed to plant
that piece of ground and when dug
my potatoes had just eight bushels
"a good yield, wasn't it? 1t was
hard work planting, hard work tend
ing and still harder work digging
them, and then to have nothing but
small potatoes for my pains was very
discouraging. Still that small crop
OF potatoes did me world of good,
for l have found that the best soil
is none too good for the potato. In
the first place I secure the best seed
l can find. These plant on the best
piece of land on the farm, onto
which has previously been hauled a
lot OF well-rotted manure and spread
nicely and disked both ways with a
disk pulverizer, thus thoroughly
mixing the top soil and the dress
ing. / like the manure from the hog
yard With plenty of cobs in it, but if
l cannot have that i use that from
the barnyard. I use my riding plow
as substitute for a potato planter
L set the beam over so as to cut 13
inches and drop the seed in every
third furrow. This puts the potato
down into moist ground, and it will
stand drought better than if plant
ed shallow. After they begin to
peep through the ground I take the
disk and go crosswise of the ground
Leave the ground a little rough and
the weeds will not be so trouble
some. If the weather. is dry, in
about a week I give them another
. disking and then drag them. After
they have begun to grow and if the
ground is right, that is, mellow down
deep, l use a surface cultivator and
stir them every few days till the
first of July, after which time they
will take care of themselves. find
! it better plan to cultivate in the
afternoon as they do not seem to do
so well when the dew is on the
plant and the dust accumulates. Po-
tatoes should be kept clean and free
from weeds. Do not plant onions or
horseradish too near or their eyes

STEALING AN IRoNcLAD.
How q Chilfan Man-of-War Was Dis
mantled and Carried Away
Piecemea1.

The most audacious piecemeal rob-
berry on record was that effected by
some Peruvian irregulars during tho
war with Chill, in the summer of 1879.
For fear of the Huascar, which was
cruising along the Chilian seaboard,
and which for power and weight of
metal was infinitely superior to any
thing the latter nation had then affoat,
,he Chilian man-of-war Pareja was tenn
porarily hidden away in creek some
SO miles south of Valpa raiso; and: as
fighting men were urgently needed
elsewhere, her crew was taken off and
she was left in charge Of a corr@rars
guard of marines.
These were overpowered one dark
night, and the bodies tumbled over
board; after which the adventurers
proceeded to carry away the whole of
the internal fittings of the ship And
this apparently impossible task they
actually accomplished, relates Stray
Stories.
The Pareja's guns, her stores and am
munition, 1900 stands of small arms,
even her machinery and boilers, were
lowered into a number of fruit boats
which had been chartered for the pur-
pose, and safely carried northward
into Peruvian waters, where theywere
afterward used to outfit another yes
sci.
And when, some months later. the
Huascar having been sunk by the Chilli
an fleet, the lawful owners OF the
Pareja came to look for her, and bring
her out to sea again, they found only
the empty shell of a ship, silent and
deserted, and without so much port
able property aboard as would have
sufficed to fill decent-sized portman-
team

FACTS FOR FARMER.

Farmers should have a certain time
to begin and to stop work.
Nothing is lost that goes to make
home beautiful or pleasant.
Good fertilizers are an important
factor in modern farming, and the time
for applying them is at hand.
Proper pride in the good appearance
and condition of ones surroundings
and the locality in which he lives,
should result in securing good roads.
A direct fertilizer is one which is
used for the plant food it contains.
Fertilizers that contain nitrogen, phos-
phoric acid or potash, are direct fertil-
izers.
If you can show your boy that bet
ter opportunity lies before him in his
fathers work than in the great city, he
will stay on the farm. You won't have
to ''keep" him.
Bare school yards, bare house yards,
and bare public squares would not long

n.,,,,ng and Check-Rowine.

Generally, we think drilling prefer
able to check-rowing, and for the one
reason that corn being scattered more
by drilling, has better opportunity
to successfully develop. Rows being,
saw three and two-thirdls feet each
way, it is customary in hill corn to Sc
cure as nearly as possible an average
of two and one-half stalks to the hill,
or two and one-half stalks every three
and two-thirds feet. If these stalks
were distributed along the row as they
are when drilled, they would stand
about is inches apart. Now it is quite
reasonable that since drilling makes a
more even distribution, there will be a
better erowth.-Ohio Farmer.

II the pope Live. q year.

It is pointed out that if Leo XIII.
is spared to see the year 1903. that
year will be to him one of quite ex-
ceptional interest, veritable "annus
mirabilis," says the London Tablet.
AS everybody knows, it will be his
silver jubilee of papacy -(elected pope
February 20, 1879; but more than
that, it will also be his golden jubilee
as cardinal proclaimed by Plus IN.
in the consistory of December -,
1851, and his diamond jubilee of
episcopacy (preconized archbishop Of
Damietta by Gregory XVI. on jan
uary q, 1s43. and consecrated Feb
ruary 1o). uch triple jubilee, if his
holiness lives to celebrate it, will
probably be unique in history.
