The past with the ordinary building of
merely twenty or twenty-five stories
its weight of several thousand tons on
each square yard Of ground under it
was thought to be sufficient to hold 1t
steady against all the winds OF heaven,
and consequently no provision was
made to withstand an uplifting STRAIN,
since it was figured that nothing would
come along to lift them anyhow. l'ul
with the coming of the new skyscraper
matters are changed. Already Two
buildings are under way which VIII!

and G25 feet respectively-or something
over forty stories in each case. ON IL
bui,ding If this sort the wind pressure
will be enormous. especially on the Gp-
per half which will stand out naked
and unprotected by the surrounding
. brlildings. Therefore it has been deem
ed necessary to literally tie them down
by means of u new device employed
for the first time in the MS
tory of construction in this city.
An ingenious arrangement of three an!
one half inch steel rods is t. be en-
pIoycd which will be embedded to Il
depth of nearly fifty feet in the con

Sin of Blasphemy.

What is blasphemy? BlasDhemy is
an act or word that insults and out
RACES the divine majesty of God. The
clogians consider it as one of the great
est sins because it attacks the majesty
of the great God Himself, the God of
might. before whom the earth trem-
bles and melts as wax before the fire,
the great God who holds the universe
in the hollow of His palm, the one,
only God whose holy name we insult
and outrage furthermore. it is a
senseless sin. In drunkenness there is
the exhilaration of drink, in debauch-
cry the foul passions are gratified in
the pleasure they seek, but blasphemy
calls on Gods name, insults Him in the
most senseleSs and awful manner, Cor
in blasphemy we use the language of
hell. When a person speaks Spanish
we say he is Spaniard, when he
speaks Italian we say he is an Italian,
but when a man blasphemes he is :
devil because he speaks the language
of hell.-New Orleans Morning Star.

ST. AnthonY,s Hospital.

Early on the morning of Wednesday,
October "a, the magnificent hospital OF
St Anthony was threatened with COM
plete destruction by fire An explosion
in the boiler room, which is located in
a separate building about forty feet in
the rear of the main structure, startled
all in the vicinity and willing hands
were soon at work. An alarm of fire
was turned in but as the nearest hose
house is twenty-three blocks away and
the roads well nigh impossible from
the recent heavy snow, there seemed
small hope of saving the building
However within twenty minutes an en-
CINE and gallant band of fire fighters
were upon the scene and soon had the
blaze under control, though it was s
O'Clock in the morning before the last
spark was extinguished. The remark
able heroism displayed by the sisters
has been commented upon far and
wide. They remained at their posts
calmly performing their duties and
such quiet and order reigned inside the
building that many of the 200 patients
slept through the trying time without
waking. Those who were aroused by
the explosion were assured that there
was no danger and that the fire was
some distance away.
St Anthony's hospital is considered
one of the largest, handsomest and best
equipped institutions of its kind west
of the Mississippi. 1t was established
in 1892 by the sisters of st. Francis,
who previous to that time were IN
charge of the Union Pacific hospital
The building has a frontage of $50 feet
and is $50 feet deep and is four stories
in height. Fortunately the hospital
itself was untouched by fire though
deprived of heat, light. artesian water
and the power to run the elevators.
Forty tons of coal were consumed.

The editor of the Charleston News
and Courier, who processes the Pres
byterian faith, declares that if the
institution of marriage is to be pre-
served, and the highest interest of So
ciety securely protected, the example
of the Catholic church in the premises
must be initiated by both the secular
and sectarian authorities. The posi-
ton of the Catholic church on the ques-
ton of divorce is the only true posi-
ton. THE only state in the Union in
which divorce is not granted is the
state % South Carolina. The law in
this state is the only law that can be
adopted with safety to society and with
proper regard to high religious teach
ing" Many of our rejecting separated
brethren are coming around to the
same safe, sane and conservative view
of mater of paramount social import
ance.
