Ancient Sacrifices to the Goddess Of

ing the Observation-Disclosures of Corn.
A corn paradise is to be made of the
Coliseum in Chicago during the Ma
tional Corn exposition Oct. to 10, &C
cording to plans which have been
drawn for the decorations by A. P.
Daniel. scenic artist, whose decoration
scheme has met with the approval of
the committee in charge, says the Chi
cago Post.
A bewilderment of gay lights and
colors will serve for a setting for the
biggest and the most significant OF
corn shows. Money has not been
spared to make the effect a delight to
the eye. and careful study has been
made of the subject, even history being
delved into. TO add instructive features
Of display Thirty thousand dollars
Will be spent on this purpose alone.
The scheme has been worked out
upon broad lines. The ceiling Of the
big hall will present an expanse OF blue
set with stars fifteen feet In diameter.
The two ends Of the hall have been
given to the working out of special
ideas. The south end will present the
spectacle Of a field Of growing corn.
There win be a windmill-Hpieal Of a
farm In the great corn belt-a farm
house. a corn crib and all the features
that characterize the farm. Back Of
the cornfield will be a vista OF hills
and woods and u gold leaf sun twenty
feet in diameter surrounding the hort
ron.
The opposite end Of the hall Is to de
pict the ancient ceremony OF the corn
sacrifice, when maidens offered up a
portion OF the seasons yield to the
goddess OF the harvest Encyclopedias
and histories were searched for au-
thentic data upon this point, and II
was found that similar custom exist
ed alike In ancient Greece and in Peru
and Mexico. The Grecians made Their
sacrifice to Ceres, the Mexlcans to
Cinteou
The stories OF the sacrifice to the
two NEUROLOGICAL deities have been
woven together for the corn exposition.
and II is the plan 10 have the ceremony
performed twice each day beneath q
triumphal arch and with a scenic set

The Irish coIIeae in Paris.

The superiors of the Irish College in
Paris, having grave reasons to fear
that the college will be closed by the
French Government at the same time
as the French ecclesiastical seminaries
have communicated their fears to His
Eminence Cardinal Logue and have
asked the Intervention of the British
Ambassador. This is grave news, and
has caused very painful impression
throughout Ireland. Indeed nothing
could bring home to Irishmen more
forcibly the bitter extravaganza of the
persecution to which the Church is
now exposed in France. The college in
which Irishmen-save for the brief
whirlwind Of the Terror-have for cen
turtles found a hospitable place of
learning, founded by French generosity
and Irish piety to blunt the edge of the
persecution, is now threatened with the
same fate as historic Douai 1t cannot

fact that il is a home where the sacred
