MAKING PAPER. DOLLS.

Paper dolls always give delight,
particularly If little ingenuity is dis
played in making the faces a little
different from ordinary dolls faces.
Sheet cardboard not too thick is the
best material for making these dolls,
and the easiest way to mark them
out is to cut a pattern from heavy
cardboard and draw around it with a
pencil. Mark an entire sheet at once.
When the figures are cut out paste
scrap picture head on each one,
leaving the neck of the scrap picture
free and unattached. The top of the
dolls dress slips under this neck and
is thereby aided to remain securely
in place. With pen, pencil or brush
draw the lines to represent the I'M
derclothes. The stockings are usual.
ly painted with dull black water
color, though there is no reason why
they may not be painted red and
further adorned with stripes or dots.
A good effect is secured by painting
the shoes in gold paint. Slippers may
be painted black and ornamented with
bows or buckles. The foundation of
the dress should be cut out of heavy
cardboard and marked around on writ.
ing paper. White is the best color.

SQUIRRELS WINTER STORIES.
Here in Maine-in fact, all over
New England, says the Bangor News.
red squirrels do not put by great
boards of any kind for winter use.
When a Maine red squirrel has filled
itself with acorns and beech nuts II
will hide a few here and there-un-
der leaves, in hollow logs, in cracks
of rifted trees and among stone heaps.
An average red squirrel, having the
run of an oak grove in the fall OF
the year, may in the course of two
weeks hide away from two to four
quarts of acorns, though they will
be in perhaps twenty different places,
and in no instance which we have
noted has any nut been shelled.
The squirrel which plans hoard Of
nuts and makes deliberate prepara-
tons for winter is the little chip
munk, or striped squirrel, which seeks
winter quarters soon after heavy frost
and which remains in hiding all win
ter. The chipmunk often hides as
many as two quarts of shelled beech
nuts in one place. Their store-houses
are, as rule, under the ground in
sloping and sandy soil
There is colony of chipmunks
among the mounds of graves in the
cemetery on Indian Island, Old Town,
which numbers nearly 100 individuals,
and it speaks we'll for the kindness
of the Indian children to know that
the little workers are permitted to
live SO near to human habitations, for
the Indian cottages are on all sides.
1t is believed that most observing
woodsmen will say that the red squir-
rels of this vicinity seldom make
large catches of provisions for winter
consumption and never shell the
stored nuts. In fact, the red species
have no need to pay much heed to
such matters, as they are abroad and
active in the. coolest days of winter,
as much as they are in midsummer,
so precautions for food are not de-
manded. AS the red squirrels sub
sist for a good part Of the year upon
the cones Of pines and spruces, which
hang to the limbs, they do not care
how deep or hard the snow may be,
feeling secure in finding all the food
they want among the treetops.

DEATH PLOTTERS MEET

POHce-AnarchiStS We'll Organised.

Washington, Penn, Jan 24-While Washing
ton County officers were hunting to-day for al
legged leaders Of the desperate anarchists gang
discovered to be in existence yesterday at Baird,
a meeting of the society was held this afternoon
at Courtney. Knowing that nothing was sus-
pected at this place, leaders Of the reds who
are charged with various murderous conspira-
cies. gathered in the saloon of John Eckert, a
German, and with impassoned speeches urged
the members of the society to resist arrest and
conceal their fellow members wherever possible.
The meeting was evidently prearranged one
There were more than half hundred mem
bers in the saloon. ECkert then Informed
that he would have to close his place and not
allow any one to leave or enter until told that
he could do so. The doors were barred and
Eckert was held a prisoner.
Vincenzio VaIdi and Pedro Giuseppe leaders
of the band, are said TO have made fiery ad-
dresses. in which they urged their countrymen
TO carry out their prearranged plot Of assassina-
tion and not to be intimdated by officers. They
advised the Italians. it is reported. to use every
means possible TO overthrow the government.

Giuseppe reiterated HIS advice.

It was too late to apprehend any of the leaders.

discovery that Judge J. F. Taylor Of the Wash

ceding the November election, when Judge Tay

PRIESTS QUIT ORDER.
French Criticism Leads to Secession
an SuInician Seminary.

The Rev. Francis Gigot, professor Of Biblical
criticism and research IN Dunwoode Seminary,
resigned from the Sulpician Order several days
ago rather than submit to what he believed a
too jealous criticism Of his Biblical works on
the part Of his French superiOrs, and took with
him not only the president of the institution, the
Rev. DR.. James F. Drscon but four other priests
who have been in the order for years.
Father Gigot. it appears, is not only sup
ported by Dr. Driscoll but by the Archbishop
Of New York who in a way would seem TO have
recognized DR.. Driscon as the leader Of the
seceders. Not only has the Archbishop reap
pointed Dr. Driscou president Of the seminary,
but has granted Father Gigots wish to retire
from active duties at the seminary to finish his
Biblical work Father Gigot is now chaplain at
St. Angelas.
Father Gigot is acknowledged one Of the
Catholic Church's greatest Biblical scholars. His
works are the standard authority on the Bible
and Biblical criticism in every Catholic insti-
tuition Of higher learning in the English speak
ing world. II is understood that the Superior
General ordered Father Gigot to eliminate some
statements and modify others in the work he is
now preparing. and later forbade the printing
of the work at all
The order for suppression came through the
Rev. DR.. Dyer, rector of St. Mary's Seminary. in
Baltimore, one Of the largest institutions in
charge Of the Sulpicans. DR.. Dyer was re-
Gently made vicar general OF the order in this
country and such Is practically the mouth
piece Of the French Superior General DR.. Dyer
is said to have been the first to find fault with
Father Gigots work
Those who followed Dr. Driscon and Father
Gigot were the Rev. Richard K Wakeham,
Father Holland and the Rev. DR.. Mahoney
DR.. Driscou refused last night to speak ex-
Cept to admit that he and the others named had
seeded from the order.
It was learned on trustworthy authority that
the French superior general declared Father
Gigot's latest work on the Bible as approach
ing too near the edge. and while making, Il
were, great copy for the higher mind. was
rather too strong for the common, every
day American.
The Sulpician order was founded in 1641 by
Jean Jacques Olier TO educate candidates for
the priesthood. 1t took its name from the parish
of St Sulpice. Of which the founder was pastor.
