ABOUT TIE AGE OF A CROW.
A Tag Would Indicate That One LiVse
More Than Twenty Years.


A farmer living near Orrville, ohio,
says a correspondent of the Toronto
Globe, has just received a muchprized
little aluminium plate marked as lol'
lows: Return to George MeCarren,
Orrville. o." with which an interest
ing story is connected.
George McCarren, ST., father OF the
man who received the little billet of
aluminium, was an eccentric naturalist
and spent much time in the study OF
birds and insects. During McCarren S
youth about twenty years ago, he
says he remembers being told by his
father the elder McCarren, Of a dis
pute the latter had with a fellow nat
uralst at Akron, Ohio, as to the age
to be attained by a common crow, and
finally. to settle the matter, McCarren
attached an aluminium tag to the crow
captured in the fields and sent the bird
forth with the plate securely fastened
TO its neck by wires. The legend on
the plate requested the finder 10 re.
turn it to McCarren in case anything
should happen to the bird.
As McCarren, Jr., remembers 1t, the
two men made a bet as to whether the
plate would be returned WITHIN TWEEN
ty years. II the crow were killed or
died they counted on the little billet
being found and returned TO the adj
dress on the plate. If this were not
returned they believed it would be suf-
ficient evidence that the bird would
Ie still alive. McCarren bet that the
plate would not be returned within
that time; hence he won the bet The
crow was killed by a farmer boy
named Anglers in Holmes county last
week. and the billet returned to the
sen of the better, the elder McCarren
having died before he could realize the
proceeds and the satisfaction Of win
ming his wager. The little billet Is
highly priced by the McCarrens as a
memento of the fathers eccentricity

A LENTEN 6ALLADE.

Now has the evil day come
Stripping our CHEEKY haunts bare,
Striking relentless dumb
Echoes that exercised care.
Out of the gay world they fare,
Yesterdays bright eyes intent
On the black type of pray'r.
Into the limbo of Lent
Hymns for society's hum.
Dim aisles in lieu of its glare;
Some truly penitent, some.
Keen to coquette did they dare;
Go with curls cruelty pent,
(Chiffons the sackoloth they wear)
Into limbo Of Lent.
Constant SWANS, nervous numb,
Wait on the cold chapel STAIR
For comfort-one last tiny crumb-
A nod full of ice as the air.
That's just what fell to my share
When my dulcines went
Nun, save the gold of her hair
Into the limbo of Lent
Ursula, should you declare
You need me the while you repent
III follow you--yes, even there!

QUEEN MAY VISIT SALT. LAKE.

Dowager Queen Margherita, mother of the king
of Italy, and devout Catholic, will visit the
United States in the autumn of this year. 1t had
been reported several times before that she would
do so, and it is now learned positively from an
authoritative source that she will In the event
that she does so, it is likely she will tour the con-
tinent to California, and pay Salt Lake a visit.
Queen Marguerite on visiting the cathedral at
Cremona the other day, was received at the thresh
old by the venerable Bishop Bonemelli, whose
episcopal ring she bent low to kiss. The aged pre-
late thereupon taking his place before the high
altar pronounced an address of welcome to the
queen, calling for the blessings of heaven upon the
reigning house of Italy, and as she quilted the
sacred edifce the organ pealed forth the Italian
national hymn.
The duke and duchess of Aosta, who have now
taken up their residence at Naples, where the duke
commands the military district, have announced
that they will take official part in the religious fes
tivities and professions which to be celebrated
in that city All this tends to prove the existence
of friendly relations between the quirinal and the
vatican than at any moment since the papacy's
loss of its temporal power in 1870. For bishop
to call down from the altar the blessings of heaven
upon reigning family that only short time ago
was officially regarded as under the ban of the
church marks the Inauguration of happier era.

ANSWER FAILS TO ANSWER.

This paragraph is going the rounds of the
Catholic press:
An English preacher writes to the Guardian to ask
"By what right does the Spanish government order
two crosses to be removed from the English church
recently consecrated at Barcelona" The Catholic
Times quite pertiently replies: by the same right
that the British government orders that no Catholic
shall occupy the throne become lord chancellor OF
England lord lieutenant of Ireland. By the same
right that the British Constitution calls all Cath
olics idoaters and blasphemers and insults believers
in the doctrine of Reconsideration By the
right too that British lew forbds Iegacies for
for deceased and calls prayers for the dead
a superstitious USE
The word Fright" in this instance should be
qualified to mean power or privilege. Even so, the
answer given the English preacher by the Catho
lie Times is just Roland for an Oliver, and con-
victs both for exercising an injustice. The an
swer convinces nobody of the merit of intolerance
whether it be exhibited in Spain in England.
How different the world would be if all in it
would recognize that faith is allied to conscience,
and conscience is an attribute of the soul. Faith
is not built up through religious reprisals upon our
non-believing neighbor Neither would it Ian
guish in Spain if every Protestant church is per-
mitted to wear as many crosses inside and outside
as the congregation desired. Rather than prevent
ANGLICAN brethren from exhibiting their love
for an emblem sacred to Catholic devotion. they
ought to be encouraged in this testimony to the
ancient faith.
No matter what England has done or may do
should seek justification through that ma
ton S intolerance, Ours the work of keeping our
our house clean and our conscience unsullied, Ours
to set an example of tolerance and clear the
world of bigotry. Pluck the beam from our own
eye and not look for the mote in our neighbor's.

foreign Office. Baron Komura was the japanese of
fetal who engaged in the long and delicate ne
gotiations with Baron de Rosen which preceded the
outbreak of the war He was educated in the
United States and was at one time minister to
Washington.
Mr. Kogoro Takahira will be another striking
figure at the peace conference. He has spent many
years in the United States In the service of his
country, and he has been at various other posts
Accompanying Baron Komura are Colonel Tachi-

M. Salto, who is director of the bureau Of infor-
nation, and FL. W. Denison, who is the American

1t Is impossible to make any prediction as to
the time that will be consumed in the peace nego-
tiations. 1t to be the impression of the Jap
anese government that peace will be concluded
within three four weeks that the negotiations
will be terminated unsuccessfuly in much shorter
time and that the war will be renewed. Thus far
in the war the advantage has been with Japan, but
Japan does not seem to have accomplished much in
the way of conquest which will enable her to exact
from Russia anything approaching the great in
dernnity of 5,000000,000 francs which France had
to pay Germany after the Franco-Prussian war
Russia viii Resist Japan's Pretensions.
Russia has good grounds for resisting some of
the pretentions of Japan. She can claim for in
stance, that while Japan holds the southern por-
ton of the eastern Chinese railroad, the greater
portion of it and many important branches are
held still by General Linevitch When Japan in
sists the razing of the fortress of Vladivostok
she can contend that Japan has not even tried to
take that great stronghold. She resist the Jap
anese claim to Nanchuria by showing that rela-
lively only small portion of that country is actu
ally held by Japan. 1t has only been within a few
days that the last of the Russian forces are re-
ported to have left Corea.
Some of the Russian spokesman say that Russia
will not object to the payment of reasonable in
demnity. At the same time they insist that Japan
cannot exact large indemnity, because she is not
in the position of conqueror If Russia did not
have internal dissensions they say, the would
be in position to carry on the war indefinitely

THE OCCASIONS OF SIN.

A city correspondent writes, asking (Which is
the greater sin: To play cards. pool billiards or to
Dance
Neither is a sin no more than it is to play lawn
tennis or golf. Sin is violation of Gods law by
one who knows that law and is free to act or desst
To multiply sins where there is none is to impose
on weak human nature burdens which are super
fuous. AT most the amusements mentioned could
only serve as occasions of SIM and that very rarely
The writer also asks, "What about gambling
with cards; such as poker?"
If there is disposition to cheat, it is SIM be-
cause it violates the seventh commandment. If
the player who risks his money at the poker table
needs that money pay honest debts or to support
his family he commits a sin, because he violates
the same commandment. But if Rockefeller and
Hartman, for example should engage in game of
poker and play the square, there is no sin, be-
cause these persons could afford to lose thousand
dollars without injuring any person.
Circumstances and the disposition of the play
ers decide entirely when poker is or is not sinful
st. Paul says: "There is no malice (sin) except in
the will" If there is no actual cheat or DISPOSE
ton to cheat in poker, there is sin. 1t may be
the occasion of sin, but so is the drinking of
glass of beer an occasion of sin to one who is I'M
able to control his bibulous habits after he takes
that one glass of beer. There are-others who may
take one two three glasses and be satisfed there
fore, never become intemperate To such the drink
ing of glass of beer is perfectly legitimate, be-
cause it is never an occasion of sin.
As to dancing the two-step or the waltz" there
is difference so far as sin is concerned, because
both in their very nature and tendency serve as
occasion to sin. If husband and wife, brother and
sister, should indulge in these Dances there would
be no occasion of sin. Being occasion of sin to
persons not related, these amusements should be
avoided, for ~he who loves danger will perish
therein

The best evidence as to indentity is the investl-
CATION and report of the two experts who made an
autopsy on the corpse Immediately after 1t was eH
humed These men were DR.. Captain, professor
of >anthropology and DR.. Papillaut assistant dl-
rector of the laboratory of anthropology at the
Encole des Hautes Etudes in Paris. In the report

render doubt very difficult The body was Won
derfully preserved. ''The skin tanned mum
mifed but altogether intact" says the report, and
so the examining doctors had no trouble in COM
pairing the physical traits of the body with the de-
tails of Jones physique as known from memoirs OF
the time and information concerning the disease OF
which he died. But the verifcation which was most
satisfying was the remarkable similarity noticed
between the dead mans head and the bust by Hou-
don which the admiral considered to- be his best
likeness
/Of course some hair-splitters would raise the
query as to whether juror in a murder trial would
bring in verdict of guilty solely on proof OF the
corpus deficit here advanced. Usually writers on the
Catholic press not hair splitters, unless some
motive like the one disclosed is presented.
: But once in while it is well to be reminded
that the bones and relics of saints and martyrs

deficit has not been advanced so clearly and the
proofs established so formdably as in this case Of

contained in the command given IN the commls-
sion But as no two agree in the alleged truths
taught the supposed invisible subsistence OF the
truth dispersed among all the different denomlna-
tions is evidently false. Dispersion and unity OF
faith contradict each other. Then 1t Is evident
that neither Greek Church nor any of the many
Protestant Churches is identical with the Apps
toic ministry. Therefore, they are not the leglt-
innate inheritors of the authority conferred by
Christ on the Apostles, do they share IN the
power conferred in the original commission OF
teaching all nations and preaching to every
creature"
Surprising the Apostolic ministry to subsist IN
all ages, e., to be universal in time and in space
and that no other Church show valid claim
that it follows that the Roman Catholic ministry
is the same as the Apostolic ministry. This CON
cluson admitting the premises, namely that Christ
instituted ministry that that ministry always
to last is logically true. No one who admits that
Christ instituted the ministry contended which
was to be universal and perpetual, also infallible
in procIaiming what must be believed in order to
be saved can deny that all these conditions are full
filed and verified III the Catholic Church whose
history began with the nativity of her Divine
Founder.
This argument here given is sustained by still
more direct argument showing that the Catholic
Church is identical with the Apostolic ministry.
To this we direct attention i'll our next commune
cation. T. d.

dean Windsor, as the delegate of the
lower house of convocation, presented to the
archbishops and to the bishops constituting the
upper house resolution. duly passed by large
majority, demanding the transformation of the see
of London into a separate archbishopric, on the
ground that, with its population of over 100000,
the British metropolis had outgrown the limitation
of mere bishoprc, and had attained the proper
tions of full-fedged archepiscopal province,
Naturally, the archbishop of Canterbury is not i'll
favor of a proposition which involves the loss of
much of his powers and prerogatives since at this
moment the see of London is under his archiepis-
copal jurisdiction. That Is the kernel in the nut,
no matter how much he might argue against "a
change that existed since the Reformation and ac-
tually, he says since the days of st. Augustine"
Falling back upon ST Augustine is poor defense
for prmate who owes his position the political
rather than the ecclesiastical sentiment of Eng
land.
