Some people read too much. They
ought to read less and think more Over.
loading the mind is very much like over
loading the stomach. This is especially
true when the mental pabulum consists
of coarse in1igestible stuff.
Others read too little. Having toe
little food for thought they starve their
minds and warped intellect is the re-
suit. Happy is he who is able to assimi
late what he reads and has become &c.
quainted with people whose words are
true and full of inspiration.

APPEAL TO PRIEST
Theatrical Men Want Copy
right on His Great Ameri-
can Passion Play.
A WONDERFUL SPECTACLE

San Francisco, Oct. 26.-Theatrical
managers throughout the United States
have appealed to the Reverend Father
Josephat Kraus, of the Franciscan
Fathers church of St. Boniface, in this
city, for a release of the copyright held
by him upon the great American Pas
sion Play now in course of presentation
at the Coliseum here.
The priest, who is the author and
producer of the magnificent spectacle
depicting the life and death of Christ,
a replica of the famous Passion Play
of Oberammergau, is understood to be
resolute in his determination to with
hold the rights Of reproduction from all
professional applicants. despite the fact
that the second series Of performances,
which began October II, has been at
tended by increasing audiences.
It vas to forestall the possibility of
staging the mammoth drama, in COM
plete or abridged form, that Father
Kraus obtained his original copyright
from the Librarian of Congress.
Under the patronage of the foremost
women of Catholic society in San
Francisco, the initial performance was
effected October 10. A stage 243 feet
in lenghth and s. feet in depth accom-
modates the gigantic mise-en-scene,
which. required 5000 square yards of
canvas. Four hundred performers are
upon the stage at one time and a cho-
rus of fifty and orchestra of forty pro-
vide incidental music.
The part of Christ is taken by Jo-
seph Hans, hat of the Virgin Mother
by Miss Mary Wondra, and hat of the
Apostle by Werner Miller. A. Mick
eloff essays Simon the Leper, and the
Misses Giovanni and Emma Knoll are
the handmaidens.

AMERICAN GIRL.

The American girl is the pick OF them
all
The pink. of human perfection;
The rest of the world it has not hef
like
She's natures choicest CONNECTION.
At home she is born humanitys queen
Abroad, they've found nobody like
her,
The highest and primmest succump
to her charm,
For the American girl is no plker.
At first, they came over her money to
gain,
But she showed Europe more than
her dollars.
And when she went over, few things
to teach,
She found them all fiocking as
scholars,
Dukes, diplomats, poets and scientists,
too,
Bent down at her shrine to adore
her.
Rank, science and wealth crowded
thick for her smiles,
And for her priced favors implore
her.
Now princes are coming to beg for
her hand,
With royalty's own state to crown
her,
And not all the jealousy of royal
maids
From the kingdom she rules can
once down her.
No wonder they're all at her majesty's
feet,
And think she will grace a high
station,
The American girls the born ruler OF
men,
She's of girlhood the pink of Gre
ation

The Hindu Terrorist.

In considering just what is responsi-
BILE for the advent of the terrorist in
India, it must not be forgotten that,
without exception, the Hindu nihilist
is a youth. He is not blood-curd
ling spectacle, be-whiskered and wild
eyed. Instead he is a mild-mannered,
soft spoken boy, clad in the ordinary
garments the Hindu wears, with re-
yolyers, daggers and bombs hidden
under his shirt These intrepid young
sters actually sleep with bombs I'M
der their pillows and concealed in
their clothing. They do not threaten
or abuse, nor talk in loud terms de-
nouncing their captors and hurting de-
fance at the English. They slip
about like teritable shadows, and do
their work in the most unexpected
places and at the most unlocked for
times.-Saint Nibul Singh in Van Nor
den Magazine.

1905 total represents heads OF fam
lilies only, while the 1890 total IN
cludes all members AS the ngureS
for the two census are not compar-
able. neither increase nor percentage
can be shown.
In connection with the STATISTICS ior
membership, it should be explained
that the rules of the Protestant poues
are such that considerable NUMBER
of persons who regard themselves as
affiliated with these bodies were not
included because they have not seen
At to fulfill the requirements of MEM
bership. whereas, the figures Oh the
Roman Catholic church include prac-
tically all adherenIs over years OF
age. Thus, in comparison with the
Roman Catholic church. the strength
of the Protestant bodies was consul
erably understated.
OF the total estimated population OF
continental United States in 1906,
39.1 per cent were reported as churcn
members. The corresponding percent
age for 1890 was 1927, so that the per-
centage of the population who were
church members was larger by ga In
1906 than in 1890. The relative gain
as represented by this difference was
divided among the three main classes
of members as follows: Protestant
bodies, 1.8; Roman Catholic church,
IA, and all other bodies together one
tenth of / per cent.
The membership of Protestant
bodies was least important relatively
in Utah, where it represented only 20
per cent of the total population, and
most important in South Carolina
where it represented 40 per cent OF
the total population. The correspond
ing percentages for the Roman Catho-
lie church varied from two-tenths of
per cent in North Carolina to 56.2 per
cent in New Mexico.
The Baptist bodies showed the high
est percentage of the population in
Georgia, PA; the Methodist bodies,
in South Carolina, Ill. and the Lu-
theran bodies, in Minnesota, 1872. No
other of the subclasses of Protestants
showed a strength of as much as 10
per cent of the population OF any
state. The membership Of the church
of the Latter-Day Saints represented
47.9 per cent of the population OF
Utah.
The census of 1906 collected for the
first time statistics of the membership
by sex. OF the total number of mem
bers returned by sex, 43.1 per cent
were male and $50 per cent female.
For the Protestant bodies as a
whole the difference was greater. 1873
per cent being male and GOT per cent
female. For the Roman Catholic
church the membership was nearly
equally divided between the sexes,
1913 per cent being male and 50.7 per
cent female. This is true also for the
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day
Saints, which reports 4S.6 per cent
male.
The largest percentage of males
shown for any denomination was that
for the Greek Orthodox church, 93.9,
which is due to the fact that practic-
ally all the Greek immigrants have
been males. The Lutheran bodies
showed 46.1 per cent males; Disciples,
40 per cent; Methodist and Baptist
bodies, 3S.5 per cent each; PresDy-
terian bodies, 37.9 per cent, and Prot
estant Episcopal church, 35.5 per cent.
The denominations showing the small
est percentage of males were the
Christian Scientists 276, and the
Shakers, 21.3.
