Religious 6arb'' Question in Minnesota.

In Minnesota the question of Catholic sisters
wearing the garb of their order while teaching in
schools aided by the state has come up for public
discussion. "A few years ago the parochial school
at Wavery, in that state was consolidated with the
public school, the local board OF education agreeing
to use and keep in repair the former and to employ
three Sisters of ST. Joseph as teachers therein The
state school board however. refused to pay for the
repairs that made III that school, and they also
formulated strong objection to the employment
of Catholic sisters as teachers there. After long
and vigorous controversy between the local and the
state boards, the point in dispute referred to
the attorney general of Minnesota for his opinion.
This official who is as bigoted a seetarian is each
one of the members of the state school board has
endorsed the action of the latter. especially in
gard to the employment at the Wavery school of
teachers wearing religious garb at is not permits
sble he writes, "for teachers in public schools of
this state to appear teachers in such schools clad
in the garb of any sectarian order when such garb
is in any wise symbolcal of the order; it being
clearly understood, however, thai the mere matter
of religious belief in no manner disqualities per-
son from teaching in the public schools of Mime
sofa" Does it not appear strange that while re
ligious belief" is not disqualification in his eyes,
garb which is ,simply 'symbolicaI' of religious
belief is very serious disqualification Pitts

RELIGION OF ITALIAN PEOPLE.

Some very interesting figures concerning the re-
ligion of the Italian people be found in the
fourth volume of the Italian census of 1901 which
has just been published. We learn writes Rome
correspondent that the Catholic population CON
sists of 10,60S,000 under - years of age, and of
20,S31 900 that age. The total Protestant pop
ulation is given as 1928 under Is, and 48,S72
above that age; and when it is remembered that
these figures include many thousands of Walden
slams, many thousands of Germans, American and
English Protestants, and heaven knows how many
imported missionaries it will be seen that the tens
of thousands of pounds that are spent annually
Protestantizing Italy are singularly unproductve.
The 1sraelites are put down at 36617, surprising
ly small figure for the whole of Italy, where they
have had colonies since the time of our Lord There
only 2,472 Greek schismatics $50 Mohammed-
ans, ffty-six Buddhists. Brahminism does not
flourish in Italy for it is represented by one very
solitary individual and there is also one Copt. But
the most significant figures are those testifying to
the existence of atheism, rreligion or Indifferent
ism. Over $4,000 persons declared that they had
no religion, while $4,000 refused to make any
statement as to their religious belief 1t is probably
safe to say that this enormous number which has
doubtless by this time reached full million is
composed mainly of socialist parents. From the
interesting volume we learn that there are in
all Italy 3139 monasteries and converts with S. 764
religious of both sexes. In Rome alone the number
of religious is given as 6141.

CATHOLIC GERMANS REJOICE.

cabegram from Berlin states that according
TO information received at the headquarters of the
German Catholic party, the fatherland is already
moving TO acquire the position of leading Catholic
power. The breach between the vatican and the
French government has made this possible. The
kaiser Is directing his diplomacy to the acquisition
of the heritage of the eldest daughter of the church
the universal protection of Catholic interests in
partibus infdelium.'
1t is stated that it has already been settled that
Germany shall be given the much desired protector
ship the Levant and other spheres of Teutonic
influence in the near and far east. The vatican is
confronted with the necessity of distributing the
protectorship rights among the several children of
the church. Austria in particular, is making
strong pretensions.
German Catholics are overjoyed with the pros
poet that their party's position Of political FREEDOM
nance in Germany will be assured forever, should
the kaiser succeed in obtaining the place about to
be evacuated by the French.
Dispatches from Rome state that the kaisers
elusive congratulation of Plus X last Thursday on
the first anniversary of his ascension of the throne
of St Peter moved his holiness to tears. There Is
little doubt that William intended his fluctuations
should be in strong contrast to the silence of Presl-
dent Loubet and should this crucial moment turn
the balance in favor of Germany's political asplra-
films

TEMPERANCE BY EXAMPLE.

No body of people on earth practice moro faith
fully the precepts that they preach than do the
Catholic clergy, in all lands aud from the HER
archy down-Maric Corelli TO the contrary not
withstanding. We see that the London Daily News
has been somewhat emphatic ON the subject. Arch
bishop Bourne of Westminster being total alb
staincr. The Daily News calls it IAN important
piece Of social news-thc most important of It's
class made public for many day" After this ex-
ccptional remark, that organ goes on to say that
the archbishop would be the last person to claim
any credit for the sacrifice involved b. the renunci
alton of wine such; but like Cardinal Manning,
Archbishop Bourne has recognized. the havoc made
among his flock by drunkenness, and as he must
preach teetotaism to those who need it, he has de
cided to practice what he has to preach. The ex-
ample wins for him Immediately an increase in the
loyalty the Catholic laity has, from the first. UNI
grudgingly yielded him. True Witness, Montreal.

Nctcalf Of Boston:
DIR. Oliver Wendell Holmes, on the occasion of
call upon his friend DIR. Metcalf, was interrupted
nv the entrance of young man, who had some

some message from priest arrested Dr. Holmes
attention. and when they were alone lac said IN a
startled manner: "Metcalf you are not Catho-
y ooh YES" replied Metcalf "and have been
in the church for the past two years
DR.. Holmes, astonished. looked at his friend
during a long pause, and then leaning forward
placed his hand upon his knee, saying: And you
are right Metcalf, you are on an old snip mat Wli
land Won safely ON the other side. The old hulk IS
covered with barnaclcs, but twill take you safe into

Pope special decree forbidding monks and nuns
from engaging in commercial pursuits.

REV. FATHER DE COSTA.

Rev. DR.. De Costa's prospects of being able to
be about again grow stronger every day with the
passing of the heated term. That he has battled
for his life so long is another proof of the value
of abstenlious life-of temperate and orderly
habits-as well as a tribute to the nursing of the
good Sisters of St. Nincent's. The clear head and
bright eye and cheerful countenance in old age,
and when the limbs are intirm, are ever the
rewards of abstinence in youth. Thus while the
good doctor is confined to a room and chair, he
is still preaching to young men lesson in temper
