A report from Mexico says that an
American syndicate will convert the
famous volcano OF Popocatepetl into a
huge sulphur mine. The deposits of
sulphur are said to be CT an immense
magnitude. The sulphur contains
neither iron nor arsenic. and is said
to have far greater value than the
sulphur mined on the island of Sicily
1t is intended to build an aerial rope
way to the summit of the volcano. and
tunnel through which the sulphur
can be transported. The ropeway will
cost in the neighborhCod of s250,000.
A narrow gauge railroad is also to be
constructed from the little town of
Teamakas, on the foot of the volcano,
to Amekameka. The railroad will cost
some 100000.

In every country of the civilized world
Sisters Of Charity are known. Not only
do they minister to the spiritual and intel
lectual needs of the charges committed to
their care, but they also minister to their
bodily needs.
With so many children to take care OF
and to protect from climate and disease,
these wise and prudent Sisters have found
Peruna a never failing safeguard.
DR.. Hartman receives many letters from
Catholic Sisters from all over the United
states. A recommend recently received

And you'll find upon the weighing,
That it measures all the rest

But with love and happy laughter
Give your brother needing aims

Is it fame for which you're longing?

Round your struggling fellow man

Is Il knowledge you would fetter?

But you'll get it quicker, better,

BREEDING GOOD COWS.

Every farmer sometimes has Il good
cow-One above the average-in his
Eerd, and he does not fail to notice
her superiority. When such is the case
the COW should be a standard by which
to gauge all the others. The object
should be to have no cows that do
not equal the best one. Sell Off the
inferior ones as fast as calves from
the superior COW VIII replace them.
Use pure-bred sires, and do not at
tempt to improve the herds by buying
