graduates have failed to make their
way in the world.
The trades taught include carpentry,
abinet making, cooking, dressmaking,
gardening, house and sign painting,

are so well trained that the demand
for them when they leave the school eX-
ceeds the supply
The work of the class in printing is
an example of what the trade pupils
accomplish. The class last year num-
bered forty-one, and they not only did
all the work of getting out the annual
report of 1870 pages, but printed all the
institutions stationery and published a
weekly four page seven column news
paper This work would have cost
the institution $2,236.25 outside.
The sixty-three pupils in the classes
of carpentry and cabinetmaking made

of furniture in use in the institution

DIET FOR sLEEPLEssNEss.
Common Causes of lnsomnia-lnd''
gestion and Hunger.

geston and Hunger.
From the London Globe.
DR.. William Stevens says that in
somnia is not a disease itself, but the
effect of an unhealthy condition Of
body or mind. When the cause is re-
moved the insomnia may be expected
to disappear.
Every physician has had stubborn
cases of it which would not yield to
amy treatment and for which a change
of air or of scene became necessary.
But such cases as these should not Oc-
cur, and do occur only when the suf-
ferer has neglected precautions that
should have been taken when the
trouble first made itself manifest.
Insomnia results from causes which
can be removed if attended to in sea-
son. The most common cause is found
in the digestive organs. Either insult
able food, causing insomnia as fea
ture of indigestion, or insufficient food,
causing the patient to be kept awa"e
by hunger.
There are few things which can be
universally recommended as diet foi
sleeplessness, since what will agree
with one man will disagree with an
other. But two things that may al
most always be recommended are Let
tuce and celery.

splenNid a part of Dr. Sn1vth's dream.
 If oIfs were to criticise the New Haven cleSgvnlans analysis of the present-day failure of Professionalism. it would be necessary to emphasize the fact that very much that he says of disunited ProtestsQtism is equally true of united Catholicism Dr. Smyth's observation leads him to say.
 The Protestant faith is losing mas tery over the controlling forces of modern life. This is apparent to some extent in all the spheres of life. For one thing, Professionalism has lost the old authority of the church. IT has lost in its own families.
 Professionalism has lost the voice of authority also in the State; our churches as churches are not account ed to be political powers. More than this, Protestantism as organized, or rather as it is disorganized, in our churches has lost control over large areas of religious thought. It is not merely that worldliness is coming in, but much religion is withdrawing it. self from our churches. Protestantism has lost power to give to the people a good religious education. It is not meeting much religious thought and questioning among it's own children"
 All this, of course, is relatively, not absolutely true; and the conditions referred to are the more or the less acute in different countries and locali- ties. There are Protestant eommuni- ties in Europe and America to which Dr. Smyth's description would not ap- ply in the least. But viewing Chy ts- tendom as a whole, it should be said that, however far Protestantism is exposed to this criticism from the | Connecticut divine, Roman Catholic ism is scarcely less exposed, notwith- standing it's rigorous inslstence upon the principle of spiritual absolutism and it's power of church discipline in connection with the individual. No one who studies the religious life of such countries as France and Italy, in which Professionalism is substantially Inonexistent, can fail to see that Rom an Catholicism also has lost the old authority" and has already lost en- tirely a mastery over the controlling forces of modern life" that it has Host the voice of authority in the State e. indeed, a Jew and Freemason has lately been elected mayor of Rome, the holy city; that it has lost control over large areas of religious thought and has lost power to give to the people a good religious education" {" Dr. Smyth's criticism of the failure of Protestantism is, in reality, a criticism of the failure of the Christian church in all of its branches. The question he faces is, therefore, has the Chris tian church eliminated?
 Dr. Smyth gets much encourage ment as to the progress of liberalism in the Roman Catholic church from the modernist movement He identifies the Roman Catholicism of the future with modernism, which he assumes will be triumphant, and it is modern ism that he makes the chief ingredient that Roman Catholicism is to con tribute to the new Catholicism that will unite Christendom and carry Christianity to its supreme fulflllment. It can hardly be doubted that the tri-

 In order to reach a conclusion as 10 whether it would be advisable 10 dis. pose of the bonds at present or to hold them against the time when they should recover their par value or go higher. the fnanciers called in Corpor ation Counsel Leonard NJ. Daggett.' It appears that the sinking fund commis- sion yesterday expressed its unwilling ness to carry the bonds and furnish the cash in payment for the fountain, and therefore action by the financiers for relief of the situation was consid- cred to be imperative.
 The question of whether the deben- lures should be carried by the city treasurer was debated for half an hour or more, It was pointed out that Mir. Fresenius could suit himself as to the wisdom of carrying the debentures as cash item, and that he might not feel inclined to carry them on the ground that the city is not dealing in securities and that the charter makes no specific provision along this line. It was also said that the incoming city treasurer would assume all of the re- responsibilities of the office to which he was elected, and that if the tressur- CTS office carried this list of securities as cash before he entered upon the duties of the office he would be ex- pected to follow the same course. <
 According to MT Daggett he point was that the city, through the park commission, had made a contract for the building of the Bennett memorial fountain which had to be honored when the time for payment came.
