 This work has not been of the effervescing kind that works by fits and starts and then recedes to bubble up again by some eX- citement, but it has been the sure and steady every day plant ing and cultivation that is al- ways sure to bring forth a boun- tiful and blossoming harvest.
 In a large meeting not long since more than 50 educators spoke in high commenda tion of this department of work and it's beneficent and saving dispos- ition on child-life.
 Another good feature of this work is the determination of the Catholic Total Abstinence Union to have this study introduced in nearly all their parochial in- stitutions of learning, thus reaching millions of children who never attend our public schools Then there are many of the state universities and colleges inaug- urating special courses in this line so that the teacher may be thoroughly equipped.

Funeral in Paris.

Paris, France. - ~Interrupting the
brilliant ceremony that marked the
placing of Emile Zola's body in the
Pantheon an effort was made to kill
Major Alfred Dreyfus as he stood by
the side of the famous novelist's
widow. Louis Gregori, a writer for a
military publication, fired two shots
at Dreyfus, one of the bullets enter
ing the army mans wrist. The shots
were fired several minutes after Pres
ident Fallieres and United States Am
bassador White had shaken hands
with Mrs. lola and when they were
on their way to the portico' of the
building to review the troops.
The man who fired the shots at
Dreyfus was Louis Anthehne Gregori,
who is known widely as a writer on
military subjects. He said after the
shooting that he had nothing against
Dreyfus personally, but that he was
against 'Dreyfusism."
There vas great excitement in the
city after the shooting. The canoni-
cation of lola had aroused all tho
smoldering embers of the Dreyfus
controversy. Several groups of mill
tarists had organized to make demon
STATIONS, and they had hooted the
Government officials as they rode in
carriages on their way to the Pan
