NATIONAL PROSPERITY.

The aggregate wealth of the United States real
and personal, according to figures recently given
out at Washington, is enormous that it staggers
belief. 1t reaches a total, in round numbers. of
S100,000,0000 0O-the few odd billions added more
than this being hardly needed to confuse and con-
found the mind No other nation even approx
mates so large figure, the highest being about hale
that of the United States Great Britain. France.
Germany, Russia, Austria-Hngary, Italy and
Spain-this is the order in which the other ma
tions come when compared as to wealth. Great
Britain with nearly sixty billions Spain with twelve
billions
The resources of the United States aggregate
more than any other two nations of the world, and
besides, they increasing far more rapidly than
those of any other. Just as long as the vast en-
pires of the west offer opportunities for profitable
development and the mines of metals and coal pour
forth their riches the wealth of the nation will in
crease. Today we stand the richest, the proudest
nation that the world has ever known Probably
never before in the history of the world have the
conveniences. the comforts and the luxuries been
so widely distributed among any people as they are
in the United States today. Yet we are nos sat

him and yet cannot bear to have it taken from his
sight, scramble for more.
Our prosperity has outgrown facilities for
handling it. Throughout the intermountan region
and the northwest, shortage of cars has resulted
in serious coal famine. Call money on Wall
street goes up to so or 100 per cent. which shows
clever manipulation or a shortage of money with
which to do the enormous business of the country

"UMDER WHA7 FLAG?"

If there should be any dydbts in the minds of
our Mont Catholic readers and subscribers touching
the merits of the amnoyingt controversy between
Church and State in France, pr in any part of Lat
in Europe, the source from which the attack is
made and the class of men behind the attack ought
to settle to finality their uncertainty. 1t is
outside the pale of discussion that the party in
possession of the treasury benches in the French
Assembly and Senate are professed free thinkers
and enemies of the Christian religion. This war is
a crusade against monks and nuns, against Arch
bishops, Bishops and priests only in far they
stand for the perpetuity and permanency of Chris
tianity Let them abandon their Christian faith
and cut loose from the Supreme Head on earth of
the Church. and adopt and teach the principles of
free-thought, and they may retain possession of
the churches, monasteries and converts. and the
immoral they become the less notice will be
taken of them. 1t is to the everlasting credit of
the French Hierarchy and clergy that to man

tons and have unanimously rejected the degrading

The command of st. Paul TO rejoice with them
that rejoice" also exacts to 'weep with them that
weep" Weeping means to extend the hand of
charity the poor and needy, to console and lift
up those who have fallen and strayed away from the
paths of rectitude and righteousness unto the fast
ness of the mountains. They who are actuated
by the spirit Of Christ will cothe the naked, feed
the hungry, give drink to the thirsty and will
say to the moral paralytic "Sin no more, lest a
worse thing befall thee"

Hardy chrysanthemums-
Chrysanthemums of the epompon'
type, of which each plant produces
from forty to one hundred blooms, an
inch or two across, are many of them
sufficiently hardy to be left out all

tudes. The blooms often remain In
good condition until long after

These plants are the most cap

vivid colors are so unlike anything
else at that season that they are in
despensible in the carefully made
garden.
The flowers are not ruined until
their petals have been wet and frozen
stiff. The plants are necessarily
used for mass effects as great size is
not to be expected. Masses of red
and masses of brown side by side
make a striking combination. Grim
son and pink varieties should be kept
by themselves because their colors are
variable and they make violent con-
trast with the yellow.
The culture of hardy chrysanthe-
NUNS is simple. They need little
care and can be planted in any situa-
ton, so that the soil is rich They
are best propagated from cuttings
which should be made at any time
from October to May. The cuttings
may be obtained from any florist.
They should be inserted singly in pots
or sandy soil and as soon as they are
rooted they should be put in separate
pots or set outdoors in their perman-
ent location.
