WORKING CLASS OF FRANCE
Suffer Failures In Separation of
Church and State

The divorce of State and Church
In France Is proving a truly cata-
clysmic process. How complete q
reorganization OF society It ia ne
cessitating one may gather in re-
cent petition sent UP to the House
OF Deputies by divers goldsmiths,
jewellers, bronze casters and other
hrtiicers in metal and stone. They
say:
Messieurs, ths Deputies-In the
name of the artisans, employees and
proprietors of our Industries, al
ready seriously injured and threat
ened with absolute ruin, we make
this appeal. II ts upon the accom-
panying statistics that we wish to
fix your attention. A few years ago
we could count upon something like
$4,000 patrons, OF whom $4,000
were church parishes and 10000
were religious communities. Now
you have banished our 10000 re-
ligious houses, and you go about to
suppress the $4,000 parishes of
france
In the face OF this ruinous ex-
appropriation, what are we offered ?
Nothing.
Tomorrow, or the next day,
nearly 100000 persons will find
rhemsel' es without employment, and
many of them without bread. Are
we not citizens like the rest, and
do we not fulfil honorably all our
obligations to the State?
Assuredly we do. Very well then,
since we perform all the duties of
good citizens, We insist upon our
rights-truly an elementary one
not to die of hunger.
The question Is simple. Is it just,
for a political reason, to wipe out
Industries, producing hundreds of
thousands OF francs annually, to aim
blow at the national prosperity and
to deprive of the very means of ex-
istence hundreds OF thousands of
faithful toilers? We think not, and
we demand a serious investigation.
The document bears appended
certain figures which go to prove the
Church a lavish patron OF indus

Crop Reports.

The state weather bureau reports
weather excellent for haying and
harvesting, and large acreage of
hay and some wheat and rye secured
during the week IN good condition.
Hay is mostly light in yield, but of
good quality. Wheat and rye show
good average crops and harvest will
soon become general. Oats are head
ing rapidly and promise we'll. The
nights have been cool and the rain
fall light, but with few exceptions
the moisture was sufficient for the
growing crops, and they made rap
Id advancement. Corn, vegetables
and pastures are in prosperous con-
dltion, and garden truck and small
fruits are plentiful. Apples are
dropping badly and are scarce The
prospect of peaches and pears is
better. Buckwheat seeding and
cultivation is progressing satisfac-
torily.

Secret of Violin Varnish.

1t has long been suspected that
the master makers of violins in
Italy in the seventeenth and eigh-
teenth centuries knew of some re-
markable gum which they employed
In making the varnish for their in
ntruments. Mr. George Fry, of the
Chemical Scciety, London, who has
carefully investigated the subject
concludes, after showing that the
yarnish exercises decided iniu-
ence over the tone OF violin, that
Stradivarius and other famous ma
kers probably used only such famil-
lar things as turpentine, linseed oil
and resin rather than some mystical
gum. Fhe resin was oxidized with
nitric acid. 1t is doubted whether
the popular idea that age is advan-
lageous rather than detrimental to
q violin is well founded. Exchange.

Mr.. Bonaparte is so years of age
and Is in the full vigor of his physi-
cal and mental attalnments. He Is
large man. weighing apparently
close to zoe pouads, with a large
bead resting upon somewhat round
ed shoulders.
His head, whicE might be called
abnormally large. Is clearly that of q
man of high intelligence. yet 1t is not
q head that would command admira-
lion. The face is full and rosy, the
eyes black, the mustache of the same
color, and stubby,
1t is only when he is engaged In
debate that he would be picked out
rs man above the ordinary attain
ments. This perhaps Is due largely
to Mr.. Bonaparte's Indifference to
dress.
Being thoroughly devoted to the
duties Of his law Office. he has no
time to court Dame Fashion, and
when the days labors are at an end
he hies himself OF to fine country
seat a few miles distant from Balti-
more where fine clothes are not re-
quisite. Considering these facts Mr..
Bonaparte may Do considered q
plainly dressed man-he always
wears black-and would be more
readily taken for student, or, per-
haps, a clergyman. than one of the
most brilliant lawyers in Baltimore,
a man OF wealth and one OF the most
conspicuous reformers, in the land.
He Is identified with nearly every

ing Institution in Maryland has
been honored with the degrees of

yersity. and recently received the
Laetare medal from Notre Dame
University Of Indiana as the most
distinguished Catholic layman who
during the year had rendered the
most efficient and laudable service
TO the Catholic Church.
To the lover of the historical, and
at the same time of the beautiful
Ind artistic, visit to the Napoleon
Room at the residence of Mr.. Bona
parte in Baltimore is treat In the
home of Mr.. Bonaparte one finds
himself in Napoleonic atmos-
phere.
AS one enters the room the eye
first falls upon a marble bust of the
emperor by Henri Frederick Iselin,
The marble bust was cut in 1859,
and came at that time into the pos
session Of Jerome Napoleon Bona
parte, son Of Jerome Bonaparte, at
one time King of Westphalia and
grandfather of the present Mr..

In another part OF the room, side

The Russo-Japanese peace confer

in Portsmouth, New Hampshire,
where their proceedings can be con-
Quoted with secrecy. The treaty of
peace, which Is expected to result
from their labors, will be signed in

The nation with an efficient navy
has the most effective guarantee of
peace Most wars are decided by
sea power. Tho fate of the civil
war was probably decided by the
United States Navy. Spain was de-
teated by Dewey and Sampson.
The most decisive battle between
Japan and Russia has just been
fought on water. The great power
Of England lies In her mighty navy.
Many wars have been decided by
sea fighting. A nation without a
navy has small voice in the worlds
affairs. The United States needs no
large standing army, but it will find
q strong navy more effective in pro-
tecting its rights and interests and
in making for peace.--Nashville

A BRILLIANT ADVOCATE
In His Home In Baltimore one Finds
A Napolconlc Atmosphcrc--Ad-
heres to the Axiom. "Be Sure
You Are Right, Then 90 Ahead"
His Interest in Reform Movements

Charles Joseph Bonaparte, who
was selected by President Roose-
welt to succeed Paul Morton as Sec
retary Of the Navy, is regarded by
his neighbors in Baltimore as one OF
the most remarkable men of the
time.
A striking characteristic Is his
6rmness of purpose and the courage
Of his convictions. Mr. nonaparte
believes In the axiom: BE sure you
ere right and then go ahead"
His practice of doing what he be-
lieved was right regardless of conse-
quences was illustrated on tho oc-
caslon when the overseers of Har-
ward University were considering the
advisability OF conierring the degree
OF LID on President Mckinley. Mr.
Bonaparte is one of the overseers OF
Harvard University. He had given
the question at issLe deliberate con-
Hderation, and In n most frank
manner he informed his colleagues
that In his opinion Mr.. Mckinley
vas not worthy OF ,he honor.
Mr.. Bonaparte admired Mr.. Nc
kfnley as statesman and as Presi-
dent OF the United States, but he be-
lieved that statesmanship and po-
Dtical emlnence alone were not
the qualifications for the degree OF
LID. from Harvard,
Mr.. Bonaparte Is called a shrewd
and brilliant lawyer, but he is best
known as a civic. social and politi-
cal reformer

The grange is designed and is in
every way fitted to better conditions
on the farm, not only some but all
Of the conditions that affect the
farmers life. Poets have sung of
the peace and charm of the country
and they have not exaggerated its
possibilities but how few get out of
it all that is possible. The eye
must be trained to see and the heart
to appreciate the beauties of nature.

Master East Lynn Grange No. 1868
With an eternity behind us we
linger for moment, as it were on
the shores of time before plunging
into eternity to come. Nor may we
come this way again. Is it wise
then that our short earthly career
should be given to unremitting toll |
that we should be so absorbed in
money making that we cannot stop
to hear the song of the bird, to note
the beauty of the flower, to listen
to the prattle of the child or to greet
our fellows. If necessity is driving
us we should stop all the more be-
fore we become altogether sordid.
If every man were permitted to
enjoy the fruits of his labor there
would be no necessity for any one
to be a slave. If he is in any way
robbed of that which is his by right
more toll will not make conditions
better for him.
Fellow farmers, even in this busy
season take time to get your breath,
attend the meetings of your grange.
If you cannot do this ferret out the
,ause, If the remedy is such that
'ou can apply it yourself do it. If
t is beyond your individual effort
eek the help fyour fellows. Since
has so many times multi
'lied the powers Of the human
land the world can be housed and
.lothed and fed without grinding

THE SMOKERS PARADISE.
4 Continual Use of Tobacco u tn.
Rule In H0iiand.,


Holland is the smokers paradise.
Not only Is the climate one which al
most compels Indulgence in tobacco,
but the fragrant leaf may be had in
abundance and at small cost.
The humidity Of the climate leads
naturally to continual smoking, and SO
common Is the habit that instead of
measuring distances by miles 1t is Gus
ltomary for the boatmen to declare a
place to be SO many pipes distant.
On entering the house of a friend a
cigar is offered you, the host sees that
you are kept we'll supplied during your
visit, and a fresh cigar upon leaving is
unnecessary as a hat. Old friends are
not permitted to depart until their
cases have been reflled, and the neces-
sity for this becomes apparent when it
u 4known that q smoker usually lights
his fresh cigar from the stump of the
previous one. keeping one in his mouth
continually.
Pipe smokers are equally devoted to
their habit, taking their pipe to bed
with them and ouly laying it down
when they become sleepy. Should they
awake during, the night they indulge in
a short smoke before going to sleep
again. and they always light their pipes
before getting out of bed in the morn
