warm sun. This year there are plenty Of crows, but not single robin or bluebird have I seen yet. Even the crows seem to be having a hard time of it flying and walking far for little food. The birds which patronize our restaurant" are more numerous now than they were earlier in the season, doubtless because the weather is more severe. A flock of snowfakes stopped in front of the barn yesterday for a meal of hay-seed, and tree sparrows are on the piazza much of the time. The chickadees, which came to us so perisistently last winter, have been absent most of this season, but on the two or three occasions when they did come, they alighted on our hands and faces readily enough. The blue-iays are here for bread, seed and cracked corn every day in the week, and this morning l counted six of them in the seed tray at once, In spite of their noise and buster, they are much more companionable than many of the other birds and will usually feed much closer together without fighting than the chickadees will, for instance.
 Nor are the birds the only creatures which accept our hospitality just now. Every day, after the jays have gone, a red squirrel comes to the seed try, and apparently enjoys himself eating bread and corn. He was highly nervous when he first came and if one of Us went to the window, he was off down the stems of the lilac bushes and over the snow covered garden to his retreat in an old stone wall But now he does not mind a bit if we open the front door and stand quietly by while he takes his breakfast, and a day or two ago lle even allowed us to approach with a camera and take his picture.
 And there Is another four-footed vis- itor, "a large black rat. who, when all is quiet runs nimbly but cautiously up the stems of lilac bushes to the seed tray A splendid climber he is, but very careful of his bones, apparently, and never takes any chances as the red squirrel does, If, in going to the seed tray, ne accidentally ascends the wrong branch, he will not leap to the right one, though 1t be but an inch or two away Twining his tail around the branch, to steady himself he carefully

the Roman Catholic position on the matter. This document maintains that 10 settlement of the education question can be accepted by Catholics which takes away from Catholic parents their right to have for their children Catho- lie schools, in which the teachers shall be Catholics, and shall give definite re- ligious instruction under Catholic con- trol during school hours; to have new Catholic schools recognized and main tained, and enlargement of existing schools sanctioned where the needs of the Catholic population so demand. which does not safeguard the Catholic character of Catholic schools either by retaining the existing proportion and powers of the foundation managers, or by some equally effectual means. That no settlement can be accepted which does not provide for the continuance and maintenance of the existing Cath olic training colleges and Catholic pupil teacher centres, and which does not grant facilities for extending the means of giving Catholic training to Catholic teachers. That any proposal to lease, rent or assign Catholic schools to the local education authority cannot but be viewed with grave anxiety, and that any such proposal which conflicts with their Catholic character must be reject od

ONE OF THE MODERN WONDERS.

Nothing stops the modern wonder workers. What will be the world s most novel railroad, when completed, is being built to connect the Florida East Coast line with Key West. This new line extends across the wilderness from near Miami to a point on the tip of the Florida peninsula and it's construction is a very considerable work In itself. But this portion of the line is nothing from a construction point of view to that for the rest of the distance. From the mainland, the line is carried out over and into the currents which sweep eastward from the Gulf of Mexico by means of bridges and culverts from one to another of the string of keys or islands which extend as far as Key West. These bridges and culverts will range from few yards to two miles in length, and much of the construction will be of concrete and steel. When  completed, the passenger will be car- ried by rail right out to sea on a line about thirty feet above high tide, run ming from island to island so that it will be possible to vide in a sleeper from New York to Key West. The ul- innate plan includes the operation of car ferryboats from Key West or one of the other islands across the inter- vening sixty miles of water to Havana, so that 'all aboard for Havana with out change" from New York may be possible within 8 few years.
 Perhaps there wall be railroad across the Atlantic vet.

J. c. Phelps Stokes, the New York settlement worker, thinks that in the public schools too much attention is given to the advancement of one's self. In making ourselves the individual cen- Yer, he says, we are helping to perfect she very causes of poverty. If people would lose the self-center of interest, and seek first not merely their own ad- vantage, but would seek to interest themselves in the lives of those round them, poverty would not be general; it would be accidental"

While appearing before the Senate Military Affairs Committee Secretary Taft was asked whether, in view of the increased cost of living, he would pro- mote marriage among the junior off, cers in the army unless they had means an addition to their pay, and emphati- cally stated that he would not. "But how?" asked Senator Blackburn, "can you make that accord with the well known views of the Administration on race suicide?" Secretary Taft only laughed.

One more. An Italian army officer thinks he has discovered cure for rheumatism, neuralgia, and other gouty aff1ictions, after four years experimen- tation on the theory that the diseases are due to an infectious poison in the blood, produced by an unknown organ ism. His remedy consists of an injec- tion which he calls "arthralgonicon, ? containing amylic and benzoic elements, which operate by combining with the uric. acid in the blood, rendering it sol- able and easily eliminated.

Responding to a request from the Washington State board of control, the attorney general has given an opinion to the effect that 1t is lawful to work convicts on the public roads in their prison garb, and that there is no law other than that of humanity, restrict ing the employment of convicts in blasting rocks or in other dangerous occupations. This legal question hav- ing been answered, letters will be sent to boards of county commissioners throughout the state, offering convict labor for county road work.

the day of American independence and
ran horse races with the Indians and

indians learned the significance of the
celebration, and every year make prep

other fact is noticeable in the progress
being made by the Comanches. and
mat is they spend less money foolishly
than heretofore. When Lawton was

Placing the Responsibility.

The late Bishop Merrill, man of
high attachments and regarded as the
John MARSHALL of his denomination
had been trained as a preacher in the
somewhat severe school of pioneer
Methodism. and in conducting public
worship he preferred the simplicity OF
the primitive days.
At one time he was unexpectedly
called upon to preach in n suburb of
one of the large cities and consented.
He arrived rather late on the appoint
ed Sunday morning and went at once
TO the pulpit, without having had an
opportunity to confer with the leader
OF the choir relative to the musical
part Of the service. The choir leader
in honor of the bishops presence had
arranged an elaborate programme. Un.
aware of this. the bishop promptly
rose, announced a hymn and read II
through.
The leader of the choir, however.
was not TO be baked. The organist.
instead OF playing the tune appropriate
to the hymn. play ! voluntary" as
usual. 1t was esi sed by "selec.

a soprano solo.

the voluntary began. waited until there
was n lull lin the performance. Then
he rose and without waiting for the
singing of the hymn he had announced
began.

WOMEN I'M CHINA.
The Division OF the sexes and the
Injustice IL Works.


The most essential and conspicuous
mark of heathenism in China today Is
the division of the sexes. 1t divides
the empire into two classes and robs
each of the help which the other IS in.
tended TO supply. 1t is astonishing to
see to what extent this rule OF division
IS carried. In the families of the bet.
ter class the male and female members
are Kept strictly apart. The different
sexes even have different servants.
Brothers and sisters are not allowed 10
associate together after the boys begin
their studies, which is usually at the
age of five years.
The social gatherings where both
sexes meet is not only unknown, but is
regarded with adherence. To them
no country could show greater signs of
moral degeneracy and barbarism than
to indulge i'm mixed social gatherings.
Even the working people seldom APP
pear in the streets with their wives.
and on the rare occasions when they
do the man walks behind his wife to
see that she conducts herself properly.
1t is unnecessary to say that among the
people of the higher classes the hus-
band and wife are never seen together
in the street or in any public place.
The law requires a man to mourn
three years for the death OF q father
and 100 days for the death of q mother.
but man would be ostracized socially
IL he gave any signs of grief at the
death of his wife. Probably many q
Chinese husband becomes fond OF his
wife after marriage-he has no oppor-
tunity previously-but it is breach of
good manners to give any sign of such
n nature
Two intimate friends engaged in con-
versation would never think of men
tioning the name OF any female rela-
tive. That common question, 'How is
your wife," is never heard In China
and would be considered a. gross and
objectionable Insult oven between the
most intimate friends Chinese gentle
men never mention, look or speak to
members of the other sex except those
Of their own family. In order that
there shall be no embarrassing chance
meetings when calling on friend the
visitor heralds his approach by cough
Ing as he nears the house. thus giving
the Objectionable females time to make
their escape. 1t would be sign of
poor breeding to fail to give this sign.
