PYTHON SWALLOWS GOATS.

a traveller who spent several years
in Central Africa gives the following
account of his travels: 1--WE were for
the greater part of the time dependent
on goats for our fresh milk supply.
The goat kraal was made very strong,
proof against lions, leopards and
other carnivora, but python enter
ed between the poles-though they
were spaced three inches apart-one
night, killed all the goats in the COM
partment by strangling them, swal-
lowed two and was found gorged,
sluggish and sef-trapped within the
kraal in the morning.
THE swellings of his body where
the two goats were prevented him
from escaping between the palings,
as he had come in. To look at the
snakes small head and slender neck,
it seemed impossible for him to swal-
low anything larger than rat, but by
dislocating his jaw and stretching
his skin he accomplished the appar-
emily impossible feat of gastronomy.
The goats were cut out of him intact
by our boys, who evidently considered
that premature burial in a python did
not affect the edible qualities of the
meat, as within half an hour it was
all roasted and eaten"

CONDEMNS CHICAGO ART.

We spent a day in the art museum
of Chicago, seeing pictures, sculpture
and plaster casts. 1 am no judge of
art, but if 1t were my museum l would
consign about two-thirds of the stuff
on exhibition to the rubbish heap.
But it passes for art, and thousands go
and spend their time looking for It,
A thousand young men and women
are studying art, as It is called.
They are drawing from life and still
life, from dressed and nude subjects.
We had special permit to visit all
the class rooms, and for the life of
us cannot see much good in standing
up a naked man or woman before a
hundred young people for them to
draw at" and call 1t art.
In all the hundreds of students l
hardly saw one that was well-fed, or
didn't have a strained, nervous and
many OF them a strenuous, hunted"
look on their faces. To my taste, i
saw prettier oil paintings in the
Auditorium hotel than in the art
museum. But a man from the West
don't know it all.-E. Hofer, in Salem

CATHOLIC POPULATION.

The Roman Catholic population of
the United States and it's dependencies
is far larger than that of any other
religious denomination. This fact is
brought out by a comparison between
the statistics in the Roman Catholic
directory for 1905. and those relat-
ing to other church bodies, which
have been compiled by the Rev. H.
X. Carroll.
The whole number of Roman Cath
olics under the protection of the
United States flag is 22,127,354. OF
these. 7,05S,699 are in the PHILIPPINES:
l,573,S62 in Cuba, 1000, 600 in Porto
Rico and $4,000 in the Sandwich is
lands. 1t would obviously be mis-
leading to include the Roman Catho-
lies of the dependencies in a consider
alton of the comparative strength of
the religious denominations in the
United States.
Eliminating them altogether, the
Roman Catholics of the country still
number 12,462,793, while the next
largest church body, the Methodists,
have 6.256,73S members. The Bap-
lists follow with 5,15O,S15, then come
the Lutherans, with 1,7S9,766; the
Presbyterians, with 1,697,697; the
Episcopalians, with SO7,922; the Con-
gregationalists, with 667,951 the Uni
tarians, with 1900; the Scientists,
