GROWTH OF uNBELIEF

noting the remarkable strides which
inGdelity is making; Old and well
known landmarks along the high
way Of faith and religion which have
been the OF guide millions who have
passed away fully assured Of an eter-
nal, and happy future in another
world, have ruthlessiy been torn
from their places and nothing left
to mark the spot where ouce they
stood. The new criticism of the
Book of books" is rapidly depriv-
ing that sacred volume OF the
power TO direct the faith OF the
Christian, or give him consolation
in the hour OF trouble. The Bible
has been the foundation of the Chris
tian religion, the source from which
the Christian world has got its ideas
of Deity and from which the moral
and religious code has been derived
But this new criticism, under the
claim of an memorable search after
.ruth, is overturning the faith of ages
and leaving modern christians with
only the New Testament to lean on.
And who shall say that within the
next half century that also, will not
be turned down by the learned men
who seem to take delight in using
their learning to uproot all that
makes for faith or religion. In the
midst of this food of combined learn

OF course there are plenty of
learned men to be found who will
contend that such aperson as Jesus
of Nazareth never existed, and that
the words quoted were the utteran

much later period but even if that
be the case, the the writer has shown
remarkable insight into the con-
dition of mankind in the aoth
century. The desire for truth is
noble one and men should not
be censured for seeking for that
priceless gem; bnt it requires judy
ment far beyond the ordinary, to
tell it from the heaps of rubbish that
are called by its name.
Propositions which today are known
to be fallacies, we're accepted ten
years ago as facts, and facts are tru-

the Creator were to appear before
an assembly of scientists and explain
to them the mannerin which he made
the world and the means by which
he controls and manages it, they
would not give credit to his words
unless they could verify them by
bymeans Of their scientific researches
and experiments, and yet the expert

the Creator, would if all the circum-

France VIII Not Disarm Till She Sees
Others Doing Same.

Paris April 11.-When interviewed by
a correspondent respecting the attitude
OF France toward the approaching In
ternational Congress on Disarmament,
Paul Deschanel, former President OF the
Chamber of Deputies, said:
BY all means we desire disarmament
But ii must he simultaneous disarmament
OF the nations. France will not disarm
while her neighbors arm to the teeth.
we wish to contribute our full share to
the development of international arbitra-
tion. Our plenipotentiaries who went to
The Hague represented all France, not a
portion of it. The work of that congress
belongs to no one man. As long as con-
fict is possible We must remain strong
and armed.
How would the United States look If
she were to dispense with navy while
Germany continually strengthens hers?
The American advocating such course
would be a traitor or a fool. Moreover,
nature has marked out the boundary Of
France-the ocean, the Rhine, the Alps
and the Pyrenees.'

Toes that overlap and joints with bunions
are not beautiful to look upon, and so
the barefoot fad languishes. High heels

Spectators Have Good Laugh When

Paris, April n-One of the 200 odd So
ciety women and men who attended the
latest duel between Deputies Regis and
Labardesque gives these details Of the
much-advertised event. Before the slash
ing began Regis declared soleInnly:
II fight because refuse to be called a
coward. At the same time L am con-
WINGED that Labardesque is unfit to give
satisfaction, as he is a bribe-taker.'
AS the center man refused to answer
the slaughter ensued. Suddenly Regis
cried:
81 cut him, I cut him, Let the seconds
make an investigation"
They did, but as yet no blood had been
spilled. A little while later Regis him
self got a cut over the left arm and de-
manded that the duel be stopped. AS he
was being bandaged he admitted defeat,
but repeated his insults to Labardesque.
The second-"You are no gentleman.
Your conduct is atrocious.'
Regis-"Its all the same to me what
you think If you don't like it you can
challenge me-
Friends then interfered and Regis took
it all back, for 1 am always courageous
and loyal" he said. Lebardesque de-
clared that he would seek another duel
with Regis as soon as the other could
use his hand and would kill him-dead

FLAT HOUSE TRUST.
Is Raising Old Ned in Sweden's Best
Cities

Stockholm, April 11.-There are disquiet-
ing evidences that this city is in the grasp
of an apartment house trust. The price
of flats has risen enormously during the
last few years, and absolutely out of all
proportion to the augmentation of the
population, the landlords notifying their
tenants each autumn of an additional in
crease.
Careful inquiry reveals the existence Of
a league of speculative builders and prop
erty owners who are establishing stand
ard of high rents per room, below which
each member undertakes to let no house.
In the event of any fat remaining tempo
rarily without tenants the owner receives
a corresponding indemnity from the
leagues funds.
Owing to the present stagnation in the
building trade the population is practic-
ally at the mercy Of these exacting indi-
viduals. The corporation is being urged
TO contract for the erection of cheaper
dwellings in the suberbs, and also TO i'm
prove communication, which is now ex
ecrable compared with other European
capitals.
The housing question will be made the
chief plank of the Democratic party at
the next municipal election.

not suit.

reconstruct fifteen windows. The rest
will go to the Musee Cluny.
Curators Of the museums are still on

TO various opinions. notably those of NJ.
Henri Rochefort and Signor A. Rambaldi
a noted antiquarian Of Bologna, throwing
down on the authenticity of a Rembrandt
in the Dutuit collection in the Petit Pal

NJ. Rochefort asserts in positive mar
