Los Angeles, May 1O.-The attitude
OF the Roman Catholic Church toward
the public school system Of the United

debate. led by the Rev. DR.. j. r. King.
OF Philadelphia. at yesterdays session
OF the Methodist Episcopal General

The question was finally referred to
a committee, from which Il is unlikely

The Rev. Dr. King, who is Secretary

Philadelphia. presented the resolution,
which adversely criticised the Roman
Catholic Church, declaring that in the
language OF the episcopal address, "its
efforts to control the secular press. its
influence In politics and its assaults on
the public school system demand the
vigilance OF Protestants and patriots.
DR. King then spoke at length in sup
port OF the resolutions.
Charles B. Lore, Chief Justice OF the
Delaware Supreme Court lay delegate

the Catholic Church's attitude In oppos.
ition to the public schools. said:

Decline OF the Goat Industry.

THE. goat industry Of the United
States is on the wane,' said r. c. Beard
of Austin, Tex, at the Ebbitt. to a Star
reporter. "A few years ago the depart
ment of agriculture called attention TO
the fact that the United States was i'm
porting annually about S25. 100000 in
goatskins. This information had an i'm
mediate effect in the south and west, and
there was an Angora goat boom, during
which vast prices were paid for genuine
imported Billies and Nannies. But this
fact had no appreciate effect upon the
amount of goatskins imported There
were also comparatively no American
goatskins sold. The American Angora
was a beautiful goat. but he was too
high bred for his skin to be valuable for
manufacturing purposes. He also
showed tendency to goat diseases. The
goat industry has practically collapsed,
and very few farmers now attempt to
raise goats for profit

What the Stars Are Made Of.

Notwithstanding the divergence of
opinion on some points, there is general
acCuiescence in the view that the matter
composing tie stars is essentially the
same as that with which we are acquant-
ed on the earth. This leading idea is
admirably expressed by Sir William and
Lady Higgins in the following passage

whole matter. though there may be no
reason to assume that the proportions Of
the different kinds Of chemical matter
are strictly the same in all stars, or that
the roll of chemical elements is equally
complete i'll every star, the evidence APP
pears to be strong that the principal types
Of star spectra should not be interpreted
as produced by great original differences
of chemical constitution, but rather as
successive stages of an evolutionary
progress, bringing about such altered con-
ditions of density, temperature and min

sumably to account for the spectral diff

present knowledge complete explanation
may not be forthcoming" Investiga tons

Curiosity Is Not
Always a Feminine Failing.

If there is one weakness common to all
humanity, it Is the small and ignoble
one of curiosity. This particular failing,
it is true, has been credited exclusively
to the feminine sex. ''Curiosity." says
the incompatible Victor Hugo, ''is one of
the forms of feminine bravery
The inquisitive woman, who watches
her neighbors all day long, is favorite
subject for the so-called funny books.
The curious woman who calls on
friends, only to find out as much as pos
sible about their private affairs, is a
we'll known type.
But this failing is not monopolzed by
the femInlnes, nay, nay. The men have
their full share of it. Else why the need

AS matter Of business we have to

business reasons there are six or eight
whom you look up because you simply
want to know.

kernel of the forbidden fruit And be-
cause it is forbidden, the kernel is all
the more desirable and to be had at any
price.
But to those who give full rein to their

To play and romp with me.

And, when it's time to go to bed,
She'd hear my prayers instead of nurse,
Then when it's dark I'd have no dread.

Her pretty hand with all its rings;
And / can go right off to sleep

lovers Studiously endeavor to conceal
their defects from each other. But such
conduct is a species of dishonesty. The
frank open course, shat reveals the man
and woman as they are. will save many
| from shipWreck, by causing them to en-
ter the contract with their eyes open,

Of course, everyone wishes that the

! is a perfectly legitimate desire to wish

| To deceive in order to win is foolish,

band.
But to the thoughtful observer there
can be no such deception. To the sincere
of heart it becomes very easy to detect
insincerity. Nothing repels more. The
coin does not ring true; the counterfeit
is Immediately detected. Certain intona-
tons of the voice betray it in unguarded

The Proud Bun.

The bakerman was kneading buns
Ills trough was deep and vide
When, much to his surprise, he heard
small voice by his side
"Oh, make me large and fat it said.
And stuff me full of pfums,
So that l may attract applause
From every one who comes"
"Oh, put piece of citron in,
And make me rich and rare,
That l may serve for dukes and earls
Who SumptuOuSly do fare
The baker chuckled in his sleeve
To hear him talk so big,
But thought, I'm put in everything,
And let him run his rig!'
He put in all he had on hand,
And made him rich and rare,
And set him in the window-pane
To make the natives stare.
For, swelled to twice his natural size
With yeast and plums and pride,
He scorncd the doughnuts, pies, and cakes
And elbOwed them aside.
I'm waiting for the duke" he said,
With whom l am to diner
Just then two neWsboyS came along
Whose appetiteS were fine.
My eye they cried, ''come over here
And see this jolly bun
Let's buy him for our supper, Quicku'
And so the thing was done.
Two morals to this little song
Are had at easy rates
II is i'll to wait for dukes and earls
In these United States
And when the baker kneads his dough,
If then you are begun,
No matter what he may put in,
You'll always be a bun!
