that the books should be eXpurgated,
and that, in the meantime, the children
should be excused from learning the
passages objected to.
The mayor then summoned the Cure
for the bell-ringing, although this had
ceased, and although the mayor had
given him but one days notice to
cease. The mayor based his charge on
general instruction of the Project,
that after the Separation the bells
shall be rung as before" i. e.. the
clergy shall have the right to use the
church bells. But, hoping cunningly
to turn this permission into a prohibit
ton, the mayor pretended that the
bells were not rung as before, as this
ringing for catechism was an innova-
ton. Further. according to the Mu-
nicipal law, an order of the mayor is
only valid after it has been published
and posted up. These formalities
were, through negligence, omitted.
The order had, therefore, no force.
Nevertheless, the justice of the peace
of TriancOurt sentenced the Cure to
twenty fines of one franc for his
twenty bell-ringings. On appeal. the
police court of Bar acquitted the Cure.

BE NOT DISCOURAGED.

In casting about for a vocation,
many young persons choose unwisely.
In harmony with their misguided
choice, they go ahead and make plans.
incur expense, and otherwise put
forth great effort Circumstances
come about so as to Illustrate all their
plans, and to bring to naught all their
expenditure of money, time and effort.
Experiences of this kind are sent to
US by our Heavenly Father to teach
us that we are working along the
wrong line, and that He has some
thing better for us in some other d.
rection. When passing through such
trials, we should not become discour-
aged and lose faith in the providence
of God. Ever remember that God is
good, and that He cares for you.
Neither should we ever permit a frus-
trated plan to become a stumbling
block, but rather make it d stepping
stone-indeed. one of the series which
shall become a stairway by which we
may rise to heavenly things.

A LITTLE LESSON ON HOW TO
DRIVE \ NAIL

1T takes an apprentice a full year
to learn that he does not know how
to drive a nall said an expert car
penter. when once he has realized
this it Is only a matter of a few min
utes to learn how it should be done
The commonest mistake Is the belief
that hard blow with the hammer is
more effective than several little taps,
and the learner is inclined to ad-
mire the man who drives a nail all
the way with one blow. This is where
he is wrong; four or five blows are
much better than one.
The reason is that one hard blow
inevitably makes the nail rebound,
ever so slightly, it is true, but enough
to make i hold less firmly than it
would if driven in gradually. The
ma: may be driven alIcos all the way
with one blow. but several lighter
taps are necessary to finish the job.
Another thing, continued the old car
penter, the beginner generally tries
to drive his nails as perpendicularly
as possible This is another error,
for a nail driven a little diagonally
holds the parts together much more
firmly than one driven perpendicular
ly. And in driving a nail diagonally
it is even more necessary to proceed
with gentle taps for hard blows inev-
itably displace the surfaces that are
to be held together

GIGANTIC TREE sTUNIPs.

The fine frs of the Pacific north
west are SO colossal that after the
trees are hewed down the stumps are
used for children's play grounds,
houses for families to live in or for
dancing platforms.
To make a stump house the ma
terial from the interior is removed,
leaving only enough room to form
walls of suitable thickness A roof of
boards or shingles is put over the top
of the stump, holes are cut for win
dows and doors, and family of five
can and often does make it their
dwelling. The stump houses are
sometimes used by settlers until they
can build larger and more convent
ent homes.
After the stump house has ben va
Gated it is turned into a stable for
the horses or sometimes into an in
closure for chickens or hogs.
Next to the big tree of California
the fir or seQuola of Washington and
Oregon has the largest diameter. AS
they decay rapidly, the following out
is easy. Sometimes they are used for
dance platforms, some of them ac-
commodating as many as four cou-
pies.
Another custom is to turn the big
stumps into Fairgrounds for the chill
dren. The children reach the top by
pieces of wood nailed against the
sides or by ladders. A beautiful use
of the large stumps is making them
into flower beds and covering them
with trailing vines.

.eBLOC,, JUSTICE IN FRANCE.

The justice meted out to Catholics in
France may be judged from the fol-
lowing incident. At Apt (Vanciuse), q
town of some 5000 inhabitants, the di-
rector of the Catholic school has been
condemned, on his appeal, to close his
school, and to pay Il fine. The public
prosecutor made two charges, arguing
in the first place that the director
must be a religious in disguise, seeing
that he was not married, and that, his
school being prosperous, "he must be
we'll able to pay for wife" The
mentality of the Bloc is we'll seen in
this argument. The second charge was
that the director contravened the law
in taking children under six years of
age.
At Fluery-sur-Aire (Meuse), eight
boys refused to use in class the man
uals condemned by the Bishops They
were excluded by their master for
three days, and later, definitely ex-
PEELED by the school authorities. To
preserve them from idleness, the Cure
assc mbled them at the presbytery to
teach them their catechism. The law
permits this, provided that no instruc-
ton be given on the subjects taught
in class. To summon them, the Cure
gave few tolls of the. bell. After ten
days the boys returned to school, the
inspector having promised the families

TONGUES AND EARS.

Each nation has its own quaint
stories as we'll as its distinctive folk
lore.
No country in the world does more
to entertain its children than Japan.
Even on the street corners stand men
whose sole business is to tell stories
to little boys and girls.
The following from the japanese is
told by missionary who heard it told
to a group of children:
once upon a time peasant went
to heaven, and the first thing he saw
was long shelf with something very
strange looking on it.
What is that?' he asked. is that
something to make soup OFF, (The
Japanese are very fond of soup
No. was the reply; These are
ears. They belong to persons who
when they. lived on earth, heard what
they ought to do in order to be good,
but they didn't pay any attention to
it; so when they died their ears came
to heaven, but the rest of their bodies
could not
After a while the peasant saw an
other shelf with very queer things on
it,
what is that?' he asked again. Is
that something to make soup OFF,
No, he was told; these are
tongues. They once belong to people
in the world who told people how to
live and how to be good, but they
themselves never did as they told
others to do, so when they died their
tongues came to heaven, but the rest
of their bodies could not"

HOW TO LIVE CHEAPLY.

Substitute comfort for show. Put
convenience in the place of fashion.
Study simplicity. Refuse to be be-
guiled into a style of living above
what is required by your position in
society and is justified by your re-
sources. Set fashion of simplicity
neatness, prudence and inexpensive
ness which others will be glad to fol-
low and thank you for introducing.
Teach yourself to do without a
thousand and one pretty and snowy
things which wealthy people purchase,
and pride yourself on being just as
happy without them as your rich
neighbors are with them.
Put so much dignity, sincerity,
kindness, virtue and love into your
simple and inexpensive home that its
members will never miss the costly
flfppers and snowy adornments OF
fashion, and be happier in the cosy
and comfortable apartments than
most of our wealthy neighbors aye III
their splendid apartments.
