CHURCH AND STATE IN TRANCE.


 Signor Luigi Luzzatti, the we'll known Italian statesman, delivered a lecture the other day before the Uni- versity in Rome, in which he discussed the relations between Church and State in France, and incidentally furnished an interesting illustration of the Italian point of view. He said that if the French statesmen had only made a careful study of Italian law with re- gard to the Church, they would have avoided many errors, some of which may prove most serious. He described the Italian Law of Guarantees" as an admirable document, which, while it abolished the temporal power of the Popes, increased the spiritual grandeur of the Papacy, and permitted King and Pontiff to live side by side in peace at Rome. In the French law of separa- ton, he declared, there Is predomin- ating spirit of the old intolerance, and Jacobin tendency in the provisions for the discipline of the Church, The Z greatest evil that could befall coun- try, he declared, was intolerance in any shape, whether it burnt heretics, mas sacred Jews, guillotined priests or per- secuted monks. The intolerance which inflicted such suffering in France at the time of the Revolution seemed, he said, to be inspiring it's rulers again. The Church, he added, ought to be sep

TALES FROM THE FAR EAST.

4ALE@o EhOM THE FAX EAST.
 In Calcutta recently a box containing money and valuable papers was stolen from a large business establishment. After the police had failed to trace the thief native wise man. Tarini Prasad Jyotishi, was called in. He ordered an assembly of the whole es- tablishment-peons. bearers, durwans, table servants, coachmen; syces and what not--and began to harangue them concerning the unity and majesty of | the Almighty. Then he entered upon ! the ritual of his craft, in which the re- glstratton of names, the washing of ] hands, breathing on little squares of paper, distribution of sacred rice and muttering of prayers played their part. A new earthenware vessel Received the names, with some red powder. and the vessel was finally covered and sealed, the awestruck audience being informed, with further reminders of devine omni- science and omnipotence, that unless 1 the box was. discovered the name of the thief, inscribed in red, would be found I within the earthen vessel when the 1 seal should be broken eight days later. This was on Tuesday evening. On | Wednesday morning the box was found Titled of notes and gold, but with the | valuable papers intact. But the thief is still at large.
 From the port of Amony, China. tribute of edible birds nests has been sent to Peking ever since the reign of ihe fourth Emperor of the present Chinese dynasty. At first the quantity sent was 100 catties (e13S) but this was afterward increased to 160 catties. The delicacy is produced in Siam and sold in Hong Kong, whither Annoy , merchants go to purchase it, the cost of one hundred and sixty catties being about five thousand dollars gold. But in addition to the heavy price the mer- chants have to pay all kinds of illegal fees to officials, amounting to a further sum of five thousand dollars To these sums must be added the salaries and expenses of the employees of the same merchants who undertake to supply the tribute. The income is derived from dues levied on imports, and these were formerly sufficient to cover ex- penses, but now that foreign imports have considerably decreased they are not sufficient, and the merchants suffer | great loss in consequence.
 A number of baby farmers have been | arrested at Osaka, in Japan. Besides 1 doing babies to death for reward they sold them to medicine makers in China, Most people who haveresided for any length of time in the far east are aware that prescriptions made up by Chinese doctors contain ingredients oi which the less said the better. But il Is not widely known that particular efficacy as regards certain ailments is held to attach to the human heart fl taken from the warm body of young child. Investigations of the police have shown that the Osaka baby farmers did not content themselves with merely staying the children. The little ones were sent to China and there killed and their hearts used in the preparation of medicines by Chinese doctors.-Chiea- go News. .~., e. I

Santa in Salt Lake.

To a thrifty Mormon household cams the patron saint of Yule; He was pufing like an engine, he was laden with a mule, For he knew q row of stockings such as nowhere else is seen Would be yaWning there before him in the home of Elder Green. So he showed his pack ahead of him and started down the Hue, While he murmured: This is something that l hate like smoke to do" Ihen he followed with reluctance through the SmOOty, smudgy air, quickly landing where the hosiery was hung in many pair. There were papa's socks and twenty pairs of lengthy, wifely hose; There were socks for Eddie. Willie, for Elphet and Nose; There were stockings of Matiida's, Es- meralda's and Susannes; There were Charles hose and Molly's, Cora Belle's and little Dams; Amaryllis, George, Alphonso, Peter, Jo- seph, Maude.

THE CANALS OF MARS.

The latest news from Mars, which comes by way of the observatory at Flagstaff, Arizona, is decidedly inter- esting. It indicates that the celebrated Mars canals are all there. The ob- servations showed that the canals whatever be their nature and origin, cannot be mere subjective illusions, but have an actual existence as material formations. They are quite distinctly indicated, as also the doubling, which has been disputed more than the ex~ 'istence of the canals themselves. In a series of the photographs taken in quick succession on the same night the same markings are seen to be repeated from one photograph to another Drawings made at about the same dates show a close correspondence with the photographs, the canals indicated having the same position and direction. So superior, however, is the defining power of the eye that the chief as- tronomer's drawing shows four hundred canals and one hundred and seventy five oases, while the photographs show but forty canals and four or five oases. If photographic plates do not lie and represent only objects having real ob- jeetive existence, the case for the can als seems to be well made out. The agreement of the plates with each other in a long. series and the agree ment of all with the drawings leave little room for further doubt.
 By and by the observers on Mars will see a new canal on this side of the world that will interest them Perhaps they may even be able to read the figures of the cost, They will be big ones.

The Providence Journal pertinently points out that it is 8 defective philoso- phy that permits itself to magnify the annoyances and diseemforts that devel- op during the few days just before Christmas. And it adds: To grumble at the crowds of shoppers, the occasion al display of i'll will of the counters, the sordid monetary basis upon which the festival rests in too many households, is to neglect the pleasanter aspects of the anniversary and to deprive one's self of ones rightful share in the en- joyment of it. The eagerness of the children, the decorations of the shop windows, the mimic forest of frs at the bridge, the wreaths and the berries, the dominance of the desire to give over the desire to receive-all these are features of the holiday to whichno phil. osophy that deserves the name can take reasonable exception.

What is said to be the longest prayer ever uttered in Oklahoma was made by the Rev. E. M. Beum, Methodist preacher, at the Allmon (O&!a; school house recently. There was a contest for the possession of the schoolhouse between the Rev. Mir. Beum and holi- ness exhorter, and as it was out of the question to get rid of his rival by forei- ble means he decided to pray him out. So he prayed on and on, introducing petitions for every person and every thing which man of active imagina- tion could think of, and continued his .supplications for three hours and a half. At times there was much com- motion in the room, but no effort that was put forth could get the suppliant to cease his importunings. The meet ing adjourned at the close of the pray ar.

It is said the anthracite mines will not be closed down during the holiday week. this year as usual, as the oper- ators are producing and storing away all the coal possible against the time of idleness when the strike comes. The country is in much better condition for a strike than 1t was last time. The operators have great deal of coal on hand most of the retail dealers have supplies far greater than ever before. and a great many provident house. keepers keep their bins well filled.

This has been a business year. The railroads of the United States and Canada, in the last twelve months have expended two hundred and sixty million dollars for equipment, the larg- est amount on record for a single year. nor does this include the cars and en- zines built in railroad shops. Includ- ing cars built for subway and elevated roads, but not those for street and in- terurban electric service, the years purchases include 16S,OO6 cars, of which 165, ,455 were freight and 2,551 passenger cars. But this does not represent all, for within the past three months car companies have received orders from two railroads alone for almost as many cars as the total output of the present . year.
