Acland, 34; MT. Masterman, 35, and Mir Churchill, B. Besides MT As quith himself, who is 55, but is looked upon as young man, the strongest members of the cabinet are Sir Edward Grey and MT Lloyd George, 46 and 45 respectively. John Morley is to become lord at 69. John Burns is 49, Lord Crewe 50, Mir McKenna 45. Balfour, leader of the opposition, is 59. He became premier at 54.
 Perhaps it could hardly be said that this rule of the young is more than accident or coincidence, since in the same government the late premier attained the goal of an Eng fish public career only at 69, two years ago.
 Our own smaller cabinet in Wash ington averages 54 years of age. Sec retary Wilson at 72 is the only vet eran. Mir Root at 63, with his alert mind and slender figure, seems of middle age. Mir Taft is 50, Mir Cortelyou 45. MT Garfield 42, Mir Metcalf 54. Mir Bonaparte 56, Mir Meyer 49, Mir Straus 57. Mr Roose- velt himself became president at 43 and is now 49. If. after the English custom, a number of minor officials were included in the government, :" such promising lads as Herbert Knox Smith. 39. and Beekman Winthrop, 33. would lower the average to about the same as that which in the As- quith ministry has caused so much comment.-New York World.

Manhattan Island, it was not long be- fore one made his appearance, Jesuit priest at that. The early history of the Dutch settlement of New Amster- dam records the fact that certain Father Isaac Jogues, who had been do- ing missionary work among the Mo- hawk Indians, was rescued from death by the Dutch at Albany and sent down to New Amsterdam, whose governor. William Kieft, received him kindly.
 When the colony passed into the hands of the English the situation changed. An Irishman. Colonel Thom- as Dongan, afterward Earl of Liner ick, came to the new colony as gov ernor, and one of his earliest acts was to open a chapel in the fort on Bowl ing Green, and his Jesuit chaplains founded Latin school for the gentry on the very spot on which old Trinity church now stands. At the fall of James II. Dongan was recalled. the school was closed and the priests were banished from the colony.
 Later, when New York was begin ming to take on commercial impor- tance, number of Irish, French and Spanish merchants took up their resi- dence in the town. By the time the British had been forced to evacuate, in 17S3. these foreign residents had be- come quite influential. New York be- came the seat of the federal govern ment, and on account of the aid given by the French to the patriot cause the

SPREAD OF HYDRoPHoBIA.
Bureau of Animal Industry Makes
 Important Discovery.

Washington. D. C.. May 2.-An important and serious discovery has been made almost by accident by by the pathological division of the bureau of animal industry, depart ment of agriculture. It is that hy- drophobia Is increasing al an alarm ing rate in this country.
 The incident that led up to the discovery and the circumstances sur rounding 1t are curious and inter esting. A few months ago. a so- called maidstone" was sene to the bureau of animal industry with a request from the owner that it be tested scientifically as a cure for rabies. He explained in his letter accompanying the maidstone that Ii had been used successfully fin several cases of ineipsent hydrophobia. but he desired that it should he tried under the direction of competent scientists.
 The request induced the depart ment officials of the pathological di- vision to institute an inquiry into mad-s,ones. ia general. and the one received hy the department in par ticuIar- That investigation has just been concluded and the report of it contains important fsrts- It shows that the msd-st0aes are obtained from the sto1nachs of certain wild and domestic animals. Many of them
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1908-05-02

are formed from matted hair which the animal has licked from it's body and swallowed; while others are composed of vegetable fiber which has been formed into ball in the stomach.
 For generations those stones" have been used to prevent hydro phobia. They are simply applied to the wounds caused by the bite of a dog or of a cat, the supposition be- ing that if they adhere to the wound a cure is certain. Cases are known of persons who have made extended journeys and paid considerable sums of money merely for the applica- tion of the maidstone.
 Tn its report the pathological di- vision warns the public that the maidstone is of no possible avail as preventive of rabies or anything else. The report says that as a specific for rabies the maidstone lis of no greater value than that of a piece of plotting paper applied in the same manner" Further along, the report says: "The application of mad-stones gives the unenlight- ened public a false sense of secur- ity, and their use should be dis couraged by all possible means.
 It was in connection with this in- quiry that the discovery was made that hydrophobia was increasing alarmingly. The disease is not con- fined to any particular section of the United States but Is generally prevalent throughout the country. The report on the subject strongly recommends that all dogs be mug zled. and the declaration is made that the disease cannot be stamped out until dogs are muzzled for a period of several years. The ex- perience of some European coun- tries is cited to show that only by the muzzling of dogs can the disease be absolutely eradicated.
 Ii is pointed out that a nation Is prevalent to the effect that when a dog. in good health. bites a human being. the dog must be killed lest he should go mad and thus induce hydrophobia in the per son it has bitten. The report says: Nothing could be more faIlacious or at variance with our knowIedge of all infectious diseases. and the killing of the dog should always be Of course. dogs af- ficted with madness should be de- stroyed promptly.

Millions of dollars are lying idle in the vaults of the treasury de- partment waiting for persons to 10 take them away.

Law. of Brooklyn. in a report just rendered to the house Of representatives. tells what Is nec- essary for the claimants to do in or der to come into possession of their fortunes.
 Back in the early civil war days agents of the federal government captured and seized a great deal of property in southern states. \ good deal of it consisted Of cotton and to- baccO. while other stores and nov able property made ID the balance of the coufiscatious.

natives of that country enjoyed great prestige. When hostilities were ended large number of French members of the fleet remained in New York and went into business. It was the most natural thing in the world that they should want a church of their own, and no one seemed to think otherwise. A subscription was started, and con- tributions came in literally from all sides The king of Spain gave $1,000. and the cornerstone of the first church, St. Peters, in Barclay street. was laid by the Spanish ambassador Nov. 4, 17S6.
 For twenty-two years thereafter New York was a parish in the diocese of Baltimore. then ruled by the famous Bishop John Carroll member of the distinguished Maryland family, cousin of Charles Carroll of Carrollton, signer of the Declaration of Independ- ence. Bishop Carroll's diocese includ- ed all of the territory of the United States at the time, and when Louisiana was acquired he became administrator of that also. In 1908 Pope Plus VII. founded four new dioceses in the new country-at Boston for New England, at Philadelphia for Pennsylvania and Ohio, at Bardstown for Kentucky and Tennessee and at New York for the states of New York and New Jersey.
 The next move was to provide a bishop. Material for such dignitaries being somewhat scarce in the new

trust holdings and deliver them into the hands of the heirs. A bill for this purpose has been favorably re1l ported. In the report which accom-, panies 1t Mir Law states that wheil, congress authorized the. seizure andl sale of abandoned property in the south it was the intention to per- nit the owners to recover in thel court of claims. A law was pascal providing for this and stipulating that persons who could prove that they had not given aid or comfort to the rebellion might establish their rights within a period of two years.
 Under this provision the govern- ment handed back to claimants more than $10.OOO,000, and balance ag- gregating about the same amount has been on hand ever since.-Wash- ington Dispatch to Brooklyn Eagle.

 J. NJ. T.-What is the low govern ing newspaper publication? (2) In case the law is violated what is the penalty? (3) Can one with ordi- nary ability publish small paper? (4) Can one who has no experience set type? (5) Is there any book that teaches type-setting, and where can it be obtained?
 A. There are no laws for newspa- per publishers that do not apply to everybody. The postal regulations permit periodicals with bonafide list of subscribers to be carried through the mails at one cent pound. (2) The penalty for violation of law de- bends upon its gravity and the injury inflicted. l3l He can try. Conduct ing a publishing business does not differ from other business; one man succeeds and nine men fail. (4) No; but few days experience at a type case. under the instruction of a cop- positor will enable him to do so. (5) Nothing of the kind is needed for straight composition. Type foun- dries sell all sorts of books pertaining to printing.
