THIS RECTOR TOO FRANK.
Writes in Church Register What He
Thinks of the Members of the
Congregation.

A remarkable discovery has just
been made by the congregation at
st. Philips Episcopal church, (colored,) }
which threatens to stir up serious
trouble. The rector of the church is
Rev. Maxine F. Duty, West Indian
Some of the female members of the
congregation investigated the parish
register during the rect6r's absence.
and found that he had recorded his
pers onal opinion of the various mem
bers Of his congregation on the roll
opposite the name of each. One mem-
Der was described in marginal note
as 'scloud without WATER" but this was
the poetry of it. The writer, it is said,
came down to bare prose with such
descriptive adjectives and sentences
as "foxy," ''self-conceited," t'tending
toward worldliness. Others were
spoken of more tersely, as s'inebriate,' .
ignorant" ''bibber," ''under suspi-
cion," topper" unreliable" ''ques-
tionable," simple" ''poor woman"
One, at least, came under the sweep
ing characterization ''no good.''
The congregation is exceedingly dis
pleased, and will appeal to the bishop.

SOME people never know which
side of the bread is buttered. They
borrow their neighbours paper, look
at the local news and then allow their
neighbor to send for his paper.
Saturday comes along and the usual
trip to town is made, with the ac-
companying purchases. A shrewd
merchant knows man who never
readsa paperasi isoon as he sees him,
and that man seldom hears Of bar
gain. He gets the first thing he sees
and pays the regular price. Then
the thrifty man who reads his own
paper comes along and calls for that
little bargain the merchant offered
as a leader. The amount saved in
one purchase would pay the cost Of
the paper for a year. .-Ex.

We have received a copy of a
pamphlet entitled Reciprocity
with Canada" being the report of
Eugene G.. Hay to the Advisory
Board of the Minnesota Branch of
the National Reciprocity League,
upon the present attitude of the
United States and Canada and the
prospects for reciprocity between
the two countries. AS theICanadian
Northwest is being settled, the
question Of friendly trade relations
between the two countries is of
growing Importance. It is more
desirable for us to have the ''open

WILL MAKE STUDY OF CRIME
Russian In stit ute Proposed to Th row
More Light ON Criminals
and Crime.

The Russian ministers of the inte-
rior and of public instruction have ap-
propriated $250,000 to be expended on
criminalist institute and for salaries
Of professors of criminology in various
universities.
There are two warning schools Of
criminologists in Russia. One is COM
posed of disciples of Prof. Listz, who
teaches that crime is the result of so
cial circumstances. The other is made
up Of those who believe in Lam broso's
theory that crime is due to physical pc
culiarities.
Specially selected criminals will be
placed at the disposal of representa-
tives of both schools. At the institute in
ST. Petersburg professors will illus
trate their lectures to students with
living criminals. These horrible ex-
amples" will be freed from the puni-

WANT A UNIV ERSITY.
Porto Ricans Are Seeking Higher Ed
ucation for Their Island.
Proposition Made to Establish First
Class Institution-Americ to
Be Given a Chance to Aid In
Great Work Financially.

DR.. Samuel McCune Lindsay, of Phil
adelphia, commissioner of education
for Porto Rico, has introduced in the
executive council of Porto Rico a bill
to establish the university of Porto
Rico. The government Of the univer-
sity is vested in a board of trustees,
composed of the governor as honorary
cation as it's president, the attorney
general, the secretary and the treas
urer, ex officio and four members to be
appointed by the governor.
The departments provided for are a
normal department., agricultural and
mechanical, liberal arts, medicine, law
and architecture. The institution will
oe for both sexes.
The treasurer of Porto Rico is re-
quired to establish university fund, !"
into which shall be paid escheated in
heritances, per cent. of all fines inn
posed by the district courts, royalties
from all franchises granted by the
executive council, unexpended bal
ances at the end of any year and 2oper
cent. of the sale of all public lands.
A university here would do more to
extend the sphere of American infu-
ence throughout the West Indies and
the countries of South America and to
equip men and women for the jimpor-
tant work of teaching and leadership
in professional life and in the govern
mental work in Porto Rico than any
other gift the American people could
make. Here is a unique opportunity
for an American philanthropist to
render patriotic service of the high
est order. It is hard to conceive of a
situation, or, better still, of an oppor-
tunity, where the expenditure of from
S1,000,000 to $5O00,00O for education
could be used with such far-reaching
results.
If the bill becomes law an effort
Will be made to raise money for the
institution in the United States.

UP in Roseau county the farmers
are dehorning their cattle in antici-
patton of the coming cf Jim Hills

perhaps pierce holes in the boiler

KAISER SAYS, "CUT IT DOWN.
Emperor Drops Politics, Art, State
craft and Theology to Reform
the German Language.

The kaiser has embarked upon an
other great enterprise. In the inter
walls of his political, diplomatic and
theological preoccupations he has de-
cided to reform German prose style.
He has issued an order to the colonial
department. recommending that official
reports should be couched in clear and
concise form. He does. not confine
himself to generalities, but goes into
details. With truly imperial audacity
he attacks those long and involved sem
tences with subordinate clauses which
are the delight Of the Teut tonic author
and the despair Of the foreign reader.
The Berlin correspondent Of the Lon
don Daily Chronicle anticipates that
the emperor's action will please Mark
Twain.

The Number Seven.

Seven is a very lucky number,
and, Judging from it's frequent use
as great mystical and symbolical
number, it was also very popular in
days gone by. There are seven days
in the week, and the seventh day is
kept holy. There are seven deadly
sins-pride, covetousness, lust, an
ger, gluttony, envy and sloth
There are seven virtues-faith, hope,
charity, prudence, temperance, chas-
tity and fortitude. The seven cham
pions of Christendom were ST.

for Scotland, st. Patrick for Ire
land, ST. David for Wales, St. Den

Paper and Ink From Bananas.

The fruit and plant of the banana
serve various useful purposes which
are little known in this country. In
South Africa banana stalks are in
great demand as a material for the
manufacture of paper, while excel
lent indelible ink is prepared from
the peel of the fruit. An extremely
nutritious -four is made from the
green fruit dried, and unripe ba-
nanas, when boiled tender, are fed
to the ostriches ON farms in Cape
Colony. This food is said to make
them and even ordinary fowls lay
more eggs than any other diet.

they are called, are also in great ia

A Wsman's Complexion.

It is rank foolishness to attempt
to remove sallowness or gressines:
Of the skin by the use of cosmetics,
Or "local" treatment, as advocated
by the beauty doctors. The only
safe and sure way that a woman can
improve her complexion is by purify
ing and enriching the blood, which
can only be accomplished by keeping
the liver healthy and active. The
liver is the seat of disease and blood
pollution. Green's August Flow er
acts directly on the liver, cleanses
and enriches the blosd, purifes the
complexion. 1t also cures consti-
patton, biliousness, nervousness, and
induces refreshing sleep. A single
bottle Of August Flower has been
known to cure the most pronounced
and distressing case of dyspepsia
