Under Heretica1 Roof
French Bishops Gather
For Plenary Assembly
By MARQUIS DE CASTELLANE.

PARIS. Feb I.-It is the fashion TO
praise the French clergy in everything
except sacredotal militantism. Their or
thodoxy, manners, fidelity, and obedi-
ence to the Pope are praised 10 the
skies, but also Il is no less the fashion
to accuse them OF not marching with the
times and Of their being opposed in their
ways 10 the progress OF humanity. But
this very week the French clergy, in the
persons OF their bishops have given
an incontestible proof Of their mo-
dernity.
1t was at the Chateau Muette, where
our bishops held their plenary assembly.
In every other country this chateau. dis
honored by the gayeties of Louis XIV
and the Duchess Of Berry, daughter of
the Regent. might have been considered
tainted.
But this was not all. Pushing it's
ecclecism to the EXTREMIST limits, the
bishops decided to gather there and ac-

EoR 4 c0Nr1Nrors ONE.

Nobody has said short session lately, and now the wonder is how long the session will be. That it is going to be too long for some was indicated yes terday when Representative Birdseye of Harrington presented 8 resolution providing that the house, when it ad- journs on March 2S. the day before Good Friday. make the adjournment until December 4. This, the father of the resolution explained, was presented so the farmers would have a chance to attend to their spring and summer du- ties on the farm without interruption. They. would be able to get back to Hartford next December without loss to themselves.
 Evidently the legislators prefer a continuous performance. Perhaps, even with this, Representative Birdseye will see the legislative mill going Decem- Der 4. ,......

oANAnA NOT sLoT.

Canada is not slow to see the benefit she may gain from cur little discus sion with Japan. As our nearest neighbor on the other side of the Paci- fc, observes the Montreal Witness, Japan has trading potentialities of vast extent, which should be studied and cultivated by Canada, especially in view of the repulsive attitude of peo- pie in the United States. Proud and sensitive, the Japanese resent the treatment to which their countrymer are subjected in the republic, and have already shown their feeling by looking to this country for trading facilities ir preference. This is the opportunity we should seize There is nothing th' United States traders are seeking t dispose of in the far east but is pro duced more cheaply in Canada. ThC ocean voyage from Vancouver to Jap anese ports is shorter, the means O transportation are abundant, and enter prise with the establishment of ma tional good will can do the rest. T. cultivate the Japanese would also be il accord with imperial interests and sen timent.
 That Is certainly pretty good reason ing, and the result of 1t may be brett, good for Canada, but we shall continu
 to make few things which the Japan csc will want, and they are perhaps no sentimentally foolish enough to boy colt us. especially when we are beinl just as polite as we know how to be.

4. THEORY. AGAIN SHOCKED.

The theory of government ownership of public utilities continues to get shocks. One of the latest is in Paris, where the government telephone ser vice is so bad that there is a general howl. The League of Telephone Sub scribers presented recently to the Chamber of Deputies petition bear ing 25,00O signatures, in which they set forth that the telephone system has been going from bad to worse for years. They demand an instant re- form, bringing the service up to the standard realized in other countries-in a word. "a radical and definite reform, not half measures, incomplete and pro- visional," such as the government has always taken in the past when com plaints of bad service compelled 1t to do something. Besides the league, there is an Association of Telephone Subscribers, numbering 7,20O members, who are equally angry.
 There seems to be no difference of opinion about the condition of the tele- phone service in Paris The speakers and the writers concur, and they also concurse. It really looks as if there would have to be some reform.

HABITS OF THE BUFFALO.

 Of the surviving herds of buffalo in this country one of the finest and largest, writes a correspondent of the Portland Oregonian, is that belonging lis that belonging to the Conrad estate lat KalispeI. I am unable to give ex- act number. but any one spending an hour in Kalispell in summer may see this herd, ranging from massive bulls black as night all the way down to
 the little humpy calf feeding leisurely lon the extensive enclosure just nofth of the town.
 In winter they are driven (always on Sunday morning, when nobody is on the road) across the Flathead River, |eight or ten miles southeast, to big
 winter range embracing several sec tions kept for the purpose. Buffalo care notiJng for cold or snow and never take to shelter, but always lie down or the highest open knolls One
 would suppose they would take to shelter in a blizzard, but they do not. At night, no matter what the
 weather, they seek the bleakest spot | to rest. This has become second na- ture with them on account of wolves, mo doubt, the inveterate enemy of the i American bison. Thirty-five years ago hunted and learned at first hand 1 the ways of these animals on the plains. They root the same as a bog

After thrashing about several days, killing lcoyotes and jackrabbits, they paid MT, IConrad at Kalispell $500 head. for the privilege of shooting down two or three of his gentle buffalo.

The Poets Harmless, Necessary Cat. To Editor of the Journal and Courier: see by your paper that the mayor has ordered the police to start another crusade on dogs. This Is all right. DoEs are a great nuisance, but com pared with cats, they are no nUisance at all. I wish as do many other house. wives who have too much to do to -t- tend the meetings of the women's clubs that settle all these questions, that the dog wagon would go equipped with a hcsa and a fireman to, wash off she steps of people who don't keep cats.

SHALL SHE HIM IND SING 2

Is a nurse who huns and sings an unmtgated blessing? We'll we sup pose that depends on whether or not the patient likes to hear her hum and sing, At a recent meeting of the Bed- ford (England) board of guardians, the question of accepting the resignation of the head nurse at the workhouse in firmary came up. We cannot gather from the report, says the London Lan- cet, what led to the nurse sending in her resignation, but 1t is clear that there was no serious cause" In the course of the discussion, however, Mr. Petit, a guardian, Is reported as say ing: "The matron won't have the nurse singing or hummng about her work Now, I maintain that if anyone is sick or dull and has nurse about always humming and with a cheerful counte- nance, it is better than medicine (hear, hear), and for any one to say another shall not sing or hum is to take the sunshine out of one's life, while to rep rfmand her about that is very, very, very-well. III leave off there" Oaugh- 1 Iter)." Upon this the Lancet comments: Now, with all due respect to MT. Pet tit, we quite agree that a cheerful nurse is much better than a gloomy one, but we cannot hold that when one is sick and dull nurse who sings and huns is desirable. Anything more ag- gravating We cannot conceive. Mir. Pet tit must have derived his ideas from that class of novel which describes the joy of hearing young girls voice about the house."
 The Lancet is high authority, and if humming and singing nurses are as it says they are they will be kind and good if they will stop.

4 WISE WARNING.

Editor Fortune tells the negroes of the South that they make a big mis- take when they flock to New York and other cities up here. In the large cities of the North, he tells them, competition is severe. Not only is there competition, but there is race prejudice in many of the avenues of life that has to be reckoned with. The cost of liv- ing is high, and employment not al- ways easy to find. All these consider ations lead him to warn his people to think carefully before they decide to pack up and leave their rural homes to come into large city like New York.
 This is true as true preaching, and yet while 1t is being said there is an announcement which indicates that some negroes get along in New York. A department store expressly for ne- groes is to be built in that city. The plans have been drawn by a negro architect, and the company that is to erect it is composed entirely of negroes, and operates chain of commercial en- terprises in various places. Another company organized by negroes has been making stir for some time in Harlem, by getting possession of apart ment houses and admitting negro ten ants.
 Perhaps Editor Fortunes warning will not get the attention 1t merits, but it is still sure that all is not gold that glltters.

In 1899 the amount was 1O,O0O,OOO pounds. The increase of hippophagy in Paris is part ly due to the rise in the price of beef and mutton and partly to the fact that many medical men advise horseflesh as a suitable food for persons whose con- dition calls for experimentation
