A Misunderstandinn.

Apropos of a misunderstanding on tte canteen question, Gen. Frederick D. Grant said at a dinner in Washing ton: 8'9
 Tt is like the case of my friend Maj. Green. Maj. Green said to his servant one morning:
 James, have left my mess boots out, want them soled' q
 "'Yes sir the servant answered.
 The major, dressing for dinner that night, said again:
 CT suppose, James, that you did as I told you about those boots?'
 James laid 35 cents on the bureau.
 "'Yes, sir said he, and this is all I could get for them; though the cor poral who bought 'em said he'd have given half a dollar if pay day hadn't been so far off"

Sumnathu Not Needed

Dr. F'ridtiof Nansen, Norway's ia nous arctic explorer, now minister to Gerat Britain, makes light of the sympathy expressed by many persons anent the "hardships' of travellers. He says: There never was such mis- placed sympathy as commiserating a man who has lived in the wilds Most men who travel in out-of-the-way parts of the world do so because they like it. People who live in the center of what is called civilization do not un, derstand, cannot realize, the spell that getting close to nature, battling with nature, has on the heart" He does not believe in the use of alcoholic bev- erages, holding that while liquor will raise the temperature for few min utes, after that it falls lower than before.

NO MEDICINE.
But Change of Food Gave Final Relief.

Most diseases start in the al;ment- ary canal-stomach and bowels.
 A great deal of our stomach and bowel troubles come from eating too much starchy and greasy food.
 The stomach does not digest any of the starchy food we eat-white bread. pastry, potatoes, oats, etc.-these things are digested in the small intes- tines, and if we eat too much, as most of us do, the organs that should di- gest this kind of food are overcome by excess of work, so that fermenta- 'tion, indigestion, and long train of ails result.
 Too much fat also is hard to digest, and this is changed into acids, sour stomach, belching gas, and a bloaty, heavy feeling.
 In these conditions a change from lndigestible foods to Grape-Nuts will work wonders in not only relieving the distress but in building up strong digestion, clear brain and steady nerves. A Wash. woman writes: n

TERRIBLE ITCHING SCALP.
Eczema Broke Out Also on Hands and Limbs-An Old Soldier Declares:
 "cuticura Is BIessing."

At all times and to all people am willing to testify to the merits of Cuticura. It saved me from worse than the tortures of hades, about the year 1900, with itching on my scalp and temples, and afterwards it com menced to break out on my hands. Then it broke out on my limbs. I then went to a surgeon whose treat ment did mo no good, but rather az gravated the disease. I then told him l would go and see a physician in Erie. The reply was that I could go anywhere, but case of eczema like mine could not be cured; that I was too old (S0). I went to an eminent doctor in the city of Erie and treated with him for six months, with like results. I had read of the Cuticura Remedies, and so I sent for the Cuti- cura Soap, Ointment and ResoIvent, and continued taking the Resctvent until I had taken six bottles, stopping it to take the Pills. I was now get. ting better I took two baths a day and at night I left the father of the Soap dry on. I used the Ointment with great effect after washing ir warm water, to stop tie itching at once. I am now cured. The Cuticura treatment is a blessing, and should be used by every one who has itching of the skin. I can't say any more and thank God that He has given the world such a curative. Wm. H. Gray, 3303 Mount Vernon St., Philadelphia, Pa, August 2. 1905."

Weeks Forecast of National LeGisIa-
 ton.

Washington, D. C.-The national House of Representatives will give the greater part of it's time during the present week to the consideration of the legislative and judicial appropria- ton bills, while the Senate will pay especial attention to the report of the Senate Committee on Privileges and Elections on the right of Senator Shoot of Utah to retain his seat. In the house the appropriation will be taken up Dec. 10, immediately after the close of the routine morning bus mess, while in the Senate considera- tion of the Shoot question will be post poned until December II. The Senate proceedings on that subject will be intermitted after one days discussion to give place to the Algeciras treaty, which is set for December 12. Rep resentative Tawney, chairman of the House Committee on Appropriations, is of the opinion that the legislative bill will be voted on before the close of the week
 The Notifications appropriation bill,
 
 which is now under consideration in committee, will immediately follow the legislative bill, and Chairman Taw- ney is hopeful that it may be passed before the Christmas holidays. Chair man Grosvenor of the Committee on Merchant Marine is still hopeful of securing a favorable report on the ship subsidy bill in modified form this week, but it is not generally expected that further progress can be made with this measure before the Christ mas holidays. There is already talk of adjournment for the Christmas hol- idays, and the prospect is that it will occur about the 20th instant, and that the holidays will continue until Jan uary 2.

CRISIS IN FRANCE.
PoPE's REJECTION OF PROPER
 sTAGGERs COUNTRY.
Government Regard Pope's Action as Little Less Than Summons of
 French Catholics to Rebellion.

Paris.-France now seems to face an alarming religious crisis. The reports of the pope's eleventh-hour rejection of the governments final proffer under which Catholic worship could be con tinued under the common law turns out to be only too true and the dead lock now is apparently complete. Ac- cording to the holy fathers orders, declarations under the law of 1881 are prohibited, but the parish priests must remain in their churches until driven out by violence.
 The official confirmation of this com munication has created a sensation, both in government and Catholic cir cles. Cardinal Lecot, archbishop of Bordeaux, Archbishop Germain and others who had already advised com pliance with the law, have hastily in- structed the parish priests of their dio- ceses that their former advice is nul and void, and now in all the churches of Paris bishops and priests, after mass, have read the letter from Cardi- nal Richard, archbishop of Paris, con- taining the order of the holy see to continue in the churches, but to ab- stain from any declaration, and Cardi- nal Richards own instructions, in view of the order issued by the prefect of the Seine not to permit for the pres ent the employment of ceremonial draperies at marriages or funerals.
 The church wardens, whose legal existence expires December II, were thanked by the pupils of the various churches.
 Prayers were offered for the pro- lection of God during the coming pc riod of persecution.
 The government regards the action of the pope as little less than a sum- mons of the French Catholics to open rebellion, as rendering the situation exceedingly grave and possibly entail ing the most deplorable consequences.
 Premier Clemenceau and M. Briand, minister of public worship, were in conference all day December 10. There is no sign of the government faltering, but it recognizes that it may be forced to resort to extreme measures. M. Briand said that the decision cf the pope was entirely unexpected.
