Ancient S1nithdeld,
From the London Chronicle.


Smithfield. whose bovine activities are
to be the subject of a government inquiry,
is probably the oldest cattle market In
the world. 1t was already ancient when
Fitz-Stephen made an allusion to its ex-
istence in 1850 Then a place for live
cattle only, it lay outside the city walls.
and served in the absence Of the cattle
as a place OF recreation. Two hundred
years later the corporation assumed Off
ers. But these did not have the complete
monopoly of Smithf1eld. as the blood Of
the martyrs and the jewellers Of Bartholo-
new fair testify.

CONSERVATION OF THE SOIL
EARTH SHOULD BE HABITABLE
FOR MILLIONS OF YEARS.
Kew to Problem Lies in Controlling
Water That Falls on
the Land.
From Popular Science Monthly.

From Popular Science Monthly
The invitation to give thought to the
conservation of resources that affect our
future appeals to me with almost personal
force. for my studies OF the past decade
have led to the belief that the era of the
earth's future habtality Is vastly
greater than We have been wont to
think. We have grown up in the belief
that the earth sprang from chaos at the
opening Of our era and is plunging on to
catastrophe or to a final winter in the
near future. Quite at variance with this.
I have come to believe that the earth
arose from a regenerative process and
that 1t offers a fair prospect Of fitness for
habitation for tens OF millions of years to
come. If this be true. II Is eminently fit
that our race should give a due measure
of thought to the Interior effects OF its
actions.
1t is one of the latest conceptions of
geology that climatic conditions have
been OF the same order as at present from
early eras, in the large view. in spite OF
some notable variations. and that this
uniformity is the result Of a profound
regulative system which has sufficed to
keep the temperatures OF the earth
surface and the constitution of the earth s
atmosphere within the narrow range con-
genial to life for many millions of years.
AS result there has been no break in
the continuity Of land life since II came
into being eras ago. 1t appears. further.
that the sources of supply of the vital
elements are still adequate. and are like
ly to be so for long ages. that the regu-
lative system is still in effective control,
and that a vast future of Availability
may fairly be predicted, subject only to
some contingencies Of collision or dis
turbing approach OF celestial bodies.
Whether
large a view Of the habitable future or
not. trust you will strike hands with me
in the conviction that the probabi Of
the future are at least so great as to
render imperative the serious consider
alton of our obligations toward 1t.

COLLECTING MONEY
WITHOUT AUTHORITY

The Little Sisters Of the Poor are much
annoyed by the action Of two women in
soliciting funds from residents of the city
on a pretense that the money is for cle
Little Sisters OF the Poor. AS matter Of
the fact the Sisters do their own soliciting
for money and nobody else is authorized
to collect money for them in any way.
One Of the women is rather stout and
elderly, and the other is middle-aged and
refined in maner. They have told many
persons at whose houses they called that
they are in a contest for a watch which is
to be given TO a woman in each parish
who collects the most money. The Little
Sisters Of the Poor know Of no such con-
test, and in going their rounds they
have called at several houses where the
women have received money in advance
of them. The Sisters yesterday called al
one house for donation that is given
regularly and the occupant Of the house
was surprised and informed the Sisters
that she had had given her contribution
othe two women who had called only a
day or two before. The Little Sisters wish
to request their friends to give no money
intended to help the Little Sisters of the
Poor to anybody but the Sisters.

Diamond State Grange Wants
License Money Used for

Diamond state Grange, Patrons OF
Husbandry at its semi-monthly meeting
in Stanton last night took the preliminary
step of an endeavor to urge the Legisla-
ture 10 devote part of the proceeds from
automobile licenses toward improving
roads. The grange appointed a committee
of three TO draft a resolution TO be pre-
sented to Pomona Grange suggesting that
this be brought to the attention Of the
Legislature at its next session.
Changers think It most appropriate that
part of the proceeds from automobile IL
censes, which now go into the general

for the repair of roads Country roads, II

Mrs. Kelley then told a story that won

MEMORIAL MASS FOR
LATE BISHOP CURTIS
Vcar-GeneraT Lyons Celebrates the Mass Assisted
by Many CIergymen of the Diocese who
Formerly Served the Deceased Prelafe

and others who would benefit by his
advice. After dinner. instead of retif-
ing to his room, he usually went to The
church and stayed until he entered the
confessional. Then again he went Wis
iting TO the hospitals and after an
hours reading usually retired about
$50 or 9oclock.
He used to say Don't make good
resolutions about getting up early
go to bed early and the rest will come.
Ills life was one Of simplicity. Unlike
the priests he had no Office but his
room. While there was no Suggestion
at luxury he was noted for his neat
ness and cleanliness. He knew that
such was the example of our Lord for
His garment was so well kept that his
crucifers would not tear it to pieces
but diced for it so that one could own
lit. BY his own powers and persever-
ence he mastered the languages and
was always patient. kind and inter-
ested whenever you went to him Tor ad-
vice.
He thought deeply and persevered in
his convictions to the end. But we
must penetrate into his spiritual life m
order to find the grand work for his
life characters which made him . -'an
of God with deep faith, a lively hope
and an ardent charity. Bishop Curtis
often said that there is no true his-
tory because different versions are
given and so far as human knowledge
goes there is nothing certain except
the knowledge obtained through the
teachings of the Catholic Church.
During his last moments it seemed
but a passing from one door to another,
going to his real home in Heaven.
It is sweet to remember his words
during a discussion over the death of
our Saviour. His words came as a
great light of the loving heart of Jesus
Christ. Like Jesus, Bishop Curtis
hated sin. but loved the sinner. He
was broad-minded and liberal and al
ways ready TO sympathize with those
in trouble. He was an inspiring exam
pie for priests; he is dead and passed
away. Let us not say he is forgotten
IWhy should it be said that we forget
because such a man never dies. Bishop
Curtis lives and shall live. He lives
in every storm beaten heart that he
lrelieved of its burden. He lives for
every Bishop by a life OF self denial
devout duty and a life of seclusion fol
the great burning love of Jesus Christ
While we feel more like praying to hin
than for him. let us pray for him, thu
dear good Bishop Curtis who tough
the good fight, ran the good race and
kept the faith. Let us follow mother
church in praying for the souls of thu
