MOVE IS NOT ExPEDIENT

Boston, May 1.-The committee of faf- teen which was appointed by the Ma tional Triennial Convention of the Episcopal Church at San Francisco in 1901 to consider the advisabilitya of changing the national name Of the de- nomination, has secured an extended report in which the opinion is expressed that any chance at this time Is inexpe- dient.
 The rer-4st is to be submitted to the general convention that will assemble in this city next October.
 The committee will ask that the Bos- ton convention discharge 1t from fur ther consideration of the subject.
 At the San Francisco convention the diocese of Milwaukee presented q me- moriai requesting that the name Pro testant Episcopal Church. in the United States" be changed to that of tho American Catholic Church in the United States" The request was not passed upon directly by the convention, but a committee of five bishops. five priests and five laymen was appointed to as- certain the mind of the church and re- port to the Boston convention.
 The first appendix to the report is signed by the bishops of Missouri, West Virginia, New York and Boston. It says in part:
 With respect to the objection that the catholic character of the church is obscured in the eyes of other catholic communfons by the name. it Is said our relations with the old Catholics have not been strained by reason of the title and in view of the late Pope's denial of the validity of our orders, mere change of name is not likely to change the attitude of the See of Rome to- ward us.
 The second appendix says:
 The indications shown are most abun- dant that the majority of our bishops. clergy and laity are prononuncediy dls- satisfied with our present title and many apply to 1t more or less derosatory ad- jectives. It is perceived that 1t Is a mo- ment of division and 1t perpetustss 1seiiaa orics of which the earnest Christi .sseo~ pie would gladly rids themselves in the Christian world. It $ . wall of separa- tion on the one hdnd against our Roman brethren and on the other differentiates lis from our non-Episcopai brethren, It is to us humiliating that we must be forever measuring our longitude from the Pope of Rome as the meridian and our polity be made disproportionateiy promi- nent in the eyes of our fellow Christians at every mention of the name."
 The statement concludes with the sug- gestion that the Boston convention enact legislation by which the words Protest ant Episcopal" shall be omitted from the title page of the prayer book until such time as the people can be brought to favor suitable legal designation.
 The third statement which is brief, is signed by Rev. John H. Egar. of Rome, N. Y.. and suggests that the name be changed to that of The Church of the United States of America"

Potato Cultivation.

From the report of United States Con
sui General Mason of Berlin come some
interesting facts in regard to scientific
potato culture in that country Among
other things he says
Potato cultivation, ike all farming on
large scale in Germany, is based on an
exact knowledge of the soil. This includes
not only the elements which it contains,
but its underlying strata, exposure, eleva-
ton and surroundings, whether shaded by
adjacent woodlands or buildings, and es-
pecially its susceptibility to natural efficient
drainage. There is no careless, hit or miss
guesswork as to what the soil may lack or
what it contains The agricultural and
technical schools of Germany have trained
an army of practical chemists, expert in
the analysis of soils and familiar with the
elemental requirements of every plant
known to German husbandry. The effec
tive value of every kind of fertilizer, its
influence on crops planted in sand, clay or
loan and the efficacy of clover, lucern and
other growths when plowed in to enrich
soils in nitrogen are accurately known.
Although the potato will grow in every
arabic field in Germany. from the upper
hill slopes to the moorlands of the valleys

Worlds Fair Statuary Made From
Unusual Materials

Enduring marble aud temporary staff,
which have NAKED the statuary of past
expositions, are not the only kinds at the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition, St. Louis,
although more works of art carved from
these materials are there exhibited than
were ever collected at one place in the
history of the world.
Many odd materials have been made
into artistic figures that eloquently proclaim
the idea of the designer. Some of these
unique statues are colossal in size and large
sums of money were expended in their
making
Birmingham, Alabama, has built stat
ne of Vulcan. 1t is 50 feet high, the base
constructed of coal and coke and the statue
cast in iron. 1t portrays Birmingham s
importance as a manufacturing center.
King Cotton is Mississippi's offering.
Cotton is the material used, and the giant
is as tall as Alabama Vulcan. The Spirit
of Utah is manifested in an artistic figure
modelled from beeswax. Idaho presents
the figure of Occur Alene miner cast
from copper. Golden butter was used by
a Minnesota artist as the appropriate ma
teriai for a statue of John Stewart, the
builder of the first creamery.
Louisiana presents two curiositles in
sculpture figure of Mephistopheles in
sulphur and Lots wife carved from block
of rock salt California shows the figure
of an elephant built of almonds.

Why Your Coffee is Bad.

Bridget is an excellent cook, but, like
most women of her profession, she is opin-
ionated and insists upon making all her
dishes strictly according to her own recipes.
Her mistress gives her full swing, not only
as to cooking, but as to the purchase of
supplies. The other day her mistress said
to her,
Bridget, the coffee you are giving us
is very good. What kind is it?''
1T is no kind at ALL mum, said
Bridget. ST. 5 mixter.
"How do you mix it,
II shake in one-quarter Mocha and one
quarter Java and one-quarter Rio"

That's where so many spoil the coffee,

Curiosities of Gut Glass.

The process of glass cutting requires great
skill and care. A design is first lightly
copied on the glass, and the cutters take
it in hand A fine stream of sand and
water falls continuously on a rapid revolv-
ing steel wheel To this the glass is ap-
Piled, and the cutting is really accom-
plished by the friction which the sand sets
up, Then another workman with another
steel wheel and plain water brings the cut
ting up to a sharper edge. A third work
man with soft wooden tool takes off the
cloudiness caused by the friction of the
steel, fourth polishes the glass, a fifth
with preparation of oxide of tin gives to it
that iridescent luster which makes US value
cut glass so highly.

the Caddo parish. There is no
objection to this amendment.
S. To authorize the issue and
sale of 81, 100000 State bonds in
aid of public education. The chief
purpose of this proposition is to
laid in building school-houses."
1t is meeting with serious opposi-
tion, and justly so, for there are
several good reasons for its reject
ment. 1t will saddle a heavy debt
on the State and fall short OF the
accomplishment of the alleged end
desired. School-houses are need
ed-badly needed-but at best the
State can do little towards bull
ding them. At last the people
will have to put up most of the
money for the work. The plan is
wrong in spirit, for it is based up
on the principle of taxation with
out representation. The people
are asked to put up the money, but
they are denied the right of a voice
in the selection of the men who
will say how and where it shall be
disbursed. In saying this we do
not mean to reflect upon our pa
rish school board, but toinsist up
on a curtailment of the appointive
power. There are other reasons
for opposition which will be given
from time to time.
6. Relative to pensons of Con-
federate veterans. This amend
ment ought to be ratified over
whelmingly, and we hope it will
be.
Z. To increase the salary of the
State Superintendent of Public
Instruction. There is no good rea-
son for the proposed increase. So
far, the present incumbent of the
Office has not shown superiority
over his predecessors. He knew
what the salary was before the
election, and is not, apparently
doing harder work than his prede.

The Amendments.

The newspapers and the people
of Louisiana are now discussing
the fifteen proposed amendments
to the Constitution of the State of
Louisiana, which will be voted at
the coming election, on November
9Th.
The following synopsis of the
amendments and opinion express
ed upon each of them, by the
Marksville Journal, meet exactly
our views, and we here reproduce
them for the benefit of our readers:
l. Allowing increased benefits
aud appropriation to the State Up-
iversity and settling the status of
Tulane. University: There does
not appear to be any objection to
this bill, and so far no opposition
has developed.
2. Providing exemption from
taxation for a period of ten years
OF railroads projected to January
l, next. There is no objection to
this amendments, for the State
needs railroads, and the building
of new roads should be encour-
aged.
3. To remove limitations from
appropriations for the Industrial
Institute. This amendments
should be ratified by the people.
The Industrial is widening its
scope of influence annually, and in
doing SO additional expenses. are
necessarily incurred. The State
ought to provide literally for this
institution.
4. Adding q District Judge fol

cessors did.
s. Creating courts of appeal.
The present system appears to be
working well, is much cheaper
than that proposed by the amend.
ment, and unless better reasons
than those already given can be
put forward for a change there
does not appear to be any necessi-
ty for making it.
9. Amendment relative to the
office of Attorney General. There
is no objection to this amendment.
TO- Making Justices of the Su-
preme Court elective. This amend
ment should be ratified.
ii, IL. 13, IA. To provide for
filing vacancies in the Offices OF
Sheriff, District Clerk, District At
torney and District Judge by spe-
cial election. All these amend
ments should be ratified, for in the
case of vacancy in these Offices
by death, resignation or removal,
their successors will be elected by
the people instead of be appointed
by the Governor, as is now done.
Is. Authorizing the creation of
sewerage districts by municipal
councils. There is no objection to
this amendment.
