Decrease In Milk

w. w. P. Mcconnell, state dairy and
food commissioner, says that warm
weather and flies are causing a heavy
decrease in the milk supply of Mime
sofa. Mr. Mcconnell estimates that
the supply has decreased at least Is per
cent in the last few weeks. One herd
of cows which a month ago produced
twenty-five gallons of milk daily now
produces only fourteen gallons.
The cause for the decrease is attribu-
ted largely to hot weather and flies.
The flies are said to be unusually nu-
merous this season on account of the
wet weather. Mr.. Mcconnell says
that cows consume great deal of en-
ergy in driving the flies away, and
that consequently the production of
milk is decreased. The grass, too, he
says, is not SO nutritious in extreme
hot weather as in the spring.
Mr. Mcconnell says that cows should
be kept in the shade during the warm
part of the day, and should be fed corn
fodder and other succulent food. At
night, when the flies are not so per-
sistent, he suggests that the cows be
turned into the pasture.

the children of Gloucester. The first
Sunday in July, in 1880, was the great
day, and long before the school was
timed to open a crowd of urchins were
besieging the doors, eager for place
in the school. Immediate success
crowned the movement, and other
schools were soon opened in Glouces-
ter. In those days the teachers were
paid, for they not only instructed the
children in religious matters, but
taught them to read, and the major
part of the day was devoted, as al
ready stated, to the session of the
school. Raikes at the time was
the editor of the Gloucester Jour
nal, and used his paper for extolling
the results of the work. By this means
it was made known all over the coun-
try, and soon there were few big
towns which had not followed the ex-
ample of Gloucester.
1t was a little word, but potent,
which gave Raikes the inspiration and
courage to undertake the work which
was destined to mark new era in the
history of religious development in
the church and the world. 1t was, the
word TRY" Years afterward, when
his active work was done, he referred
to the incident when first that word
thrilled his being and brought him to
final decision. He was walking with
friend through the streets of Glou-

The Trappist Monks of
the United States ~ y X
A Peculiar Catholic brotherhood Which Main
fains Three Monasferies In This Country.

Kentucky from early times has
shown herself kindly to the Catholic
church, but the Trappists wandered
somewhat before finally settling in
that state; sojourning for awhile in
Pennsylvania. for a time in Missouri,
and also for a season in Illinois. The
present Kentucky colony was founded
by members of the order that arrived
in the autumn of the year 1S48; landed
at New Orleans, from there went by
boat to Louisville, and then walked
the sixty miles remaining. Their mon
astery is called the Abbey of Geth-
semane. The domain of the monks re-
siding here comprises 1,7O0 acres Of
land. Both wooded and tillable lands
belong to the estate, and it is place
of great beauty and fruitfulness. Ar
chitecturally one does not find great
deal to please, but the gardens and
trees are of loneliness sufficient. The
Trappist gardens are far-famed, and
this one in Kentucky is wonderfully
kept place.
Mr.. Allen remarks that certain types
of monks have been painted for us
from time to time-the intellectual,
the rubicund, and others; he character
ICES those in this retreat in Kentucky
as working monks" He writes that
none are exempt from work, there is
no place among them for the slug

cester and pausing in a back sire ct,
he uncovered his head and offered a
silent prayer. Then turning to his
friend, he said, as the tears rolled
down his face: "This is the spot on
which l stood when l saw the destitu-
ton of the children and the desecra-
ton of the Sabbath AS asked:
Can nothing be done?' a voice an
swered: Try!' I did try, and see what
God has wrought"
With the universal acceptance of the
Sunday school movement, and the peo
pie OF the present day unable to re-
member the time when they have not
been familiar with the idea of the Sun
day school and it's splendid work. it
is hard to realize that once opposition
and disapproval of the movement was
encountered from church dignitaries
and others. Sir Charles Reed. refer
ring to this at the Raikes centennial
celebration in London, in June, 1880
when the splendid statue in honor of
Raikes was unveiled and dedicated
upon the banks of the Thames, said:
When Sunday schools were first in
stituted in this country they were
fiercely attacked 1t is not to be sup
posed that they had an easy progress
They were attacked by prelates in the
pulpit. The bishop of Rochester nota-
bly, denounced it and urged the clergy
not to support it; the archbishop of
Canterbury was the first man in that
day to call the bishops together to
consider whether something could not
be done to stop this great enterprise
Later, the Presbyterians of Scotland
and the Congregationalists of New
England were represented among
the opponents of the Sunday school as
it battled its way into deserved IA
vor."
But this period did not last long.
and when the movement came to the
notice of the queen, and she manifest
ed interest in the work, fresh impetus
was given it, as it bore the stamp of
royal favor. Sending for Robert
Raikes, the queen learned from his
own lips the story of his work and its
progress; and as Raikes himself re-
ports the interview: "Her majesty
most graciously said that she enyied
those who had the power of doing
good by thus personally promoting the
welfare of society, in giving instruc-
ton and morality to the general mass
of the common people; pleasure
from which, by her situation, she was
debarred"
But if England can claim the honor
of having given to the world the mod
ern Scnday school. to America belongs
the distinction of being first in the
field with Sunday School union if
it wishes to go back to the establish
ment Of Sunday School union at Phil
adelphia, which was effected as early
as 1871. The present American Sun
day School union was formed in 1924
and it is probable that the centennial
anniversary of that event will be OBJ
served. WILLIS s. EDISON.

schools were started:
Some business leading me one
morning into the suburbs of the city,
where the lowest of the people-who
are principally employed in the pin
manufactory-chiefy reside, l was
struck with concern at seeing a group
of children, wretchedly ragged, play
ing in the streets. asked an inhabi-
tant whether these children belonged
to that part of the town, and lamented
their misery and idleness. "Ah," said
the woman, could you take a view
of this part Of the town on a Sunday
you would be shocked indeed, for then
The street is filled with multitudes of

but he goes about his work silently. A
sign language is employed, that that
unruly member, the tongue, may offend
as little as possible. To speak, he
must receive permission from tbs

Trappist that shuts out new ideas,

silence that enables the soul to con-

monks are drilled in the matter of
quietness, drilled to make no clatter,
no rustling. In the Abbey of Geth-
semane are men from various old

The other Trappist community in
the United States, situated at Mount

most of which is under cultivation.
There are about SO members of the
order here, and they employ an equal
number of helpers. They raise crops
of all kinds; their farming is most
skilful and their stock among the best
to be found. BY no means are they
wholly utilitarian, as is attested by the
rare beauty of the monastery grounds.
The early Iowa Trappists were much
interested in horticulture, and those
following have tended what the first
ones planted; and to-day beautiful

State Fair Information.

Secretary E. w. Randall Of the
Minnesota State Fair is frequently
called upon for information relative to
the equipment, conduct and methods of
the fair over which he has presided as
executive officer for the past eight
years. The reason for this is found
in the fact that the Minnesota State
Fair has become the most successful of
all state fairs, and besides, has gained
the reputation for business methods,
and fair and prompt dealing.
The latest state to seek to profit by
Minnesota's experience, is Montana.
A day or so ago, United States Senator
Carter, Of Silver State visited the Fair
Grounds and spent some time with

and methods, and in examining the

noble blood sought here to expiate past
sins, the abbey's roof sheltered pill
grims from far and near, rich and
poor. For 100 years after the death
of De Rancho, faithful followers main
tanned his reforms at La Trappe. Then
came the French revolution, those mad
years when religion was tabooed; the
Trappists had to leave France, the alb
hey of La Trappe became a foundry
for cannon. Many went to Switzer-
land, others to Germany, still others
settled in Russia. After the restora-
ton in France, they regained by pur-
chase their beloved old abbey in Nor
mandy and it became the head monas-
terry of the order. Among the branch
monasteries of the present may be
mentioned those in Great Britain,
France, Belgium, Germany and the
United States.
Mr. James Lane Allen, writing in the
Century, tells us that the Trappist
monastery in Kentucky reminds in
many remarkable respects Of the old
one In Normandy.

just 100 years ago, % years
after Robert Raikes started the first
Sunday school at Gloucester. During
those years of expansion and growth
of the movement in behalf of the chill
dren, Sunday schools had sprung up
in every large town in England, and
had found their way into Scotland and
Ireland. With the development of the
idea, came the conscious need of uni

Strengthening and systematizing the
movement. This was effected in 1903,
and it is this great forward step in
the evolution of the Sunday school
which is to be appropriately observed
in Great Britain this year.

Terrible Death.

John Atkinson, chief engineer of
dredge 8, of the Lake SuperiorContract-
ing and Dredging company, met ter
rible death on board the dredge at Du-
luth. The backing cable got foul and
he struck at it to get in place, when a
ragged edge of the cable caught his
trousers leg and threw him on the
heavy wire, and in an instant he was
carried under the big drum over which
the big cable winds. Atkinson was
crushed to death and at the same time
the gearing cut off both his hands.
One hand could not be found until the
body was removed to the undertaker's,
when it was discovered inside the

youth was by no means reputed
ascetic. Though belonging to the
clergy, he led gay life in Paris, was
active in sports and famed as gay
cavalier. He was favorite with Car
dinal Richelieu, who helped him to
more than one benef1ce. But at the
age of So worldly pleasures ceased to
satisfy, and he retired to the convent
of La Trappe and, for Sc years there
after, labored with penitential zeal for
the reformation of the monastery. The
monks were forbidden to use fish,
meat, eggs and wine. Intercourse
with outsiders was not allowed, and
manual labor made obligatory. Self
was abased, prayer almost perpetual.
To the monastery came the poor, the
helpless, the penitent, and welcome
and asylum was given all. Many OF

The primary object of Mr.. Raikes in
starting his school on Sunday was to
provide a means of keeping the chill

religious instruction was only inciden-
tai, the school partaking more of the
nature of the modern day school than
that of the modern Sunday school,; in
fact, it is often said the present free
school system is an outgrowth of the
