CAUSE OF TROUBLE
IN SPANISH EMPIRE

Rome, August Especial. )-One of
the most interesting features In the
conflict between the Vatican and Spain
IL that the ecclesiastical authorities here
attribute, If not at all, at least the
greater part Of the trouble to foreign
Influences They think that sad days
are beginning for the nations south of
Pyrennes, as the Freemasons (the Free
masons, be 1t understood, of the Latin
conspirator, anti-church kind, whose
have now turned their attention to the
headquarters are In Paris, after havin &
got the upper hand In Italy and France.
remainder of the Latin world in Europe.
Their aim is chiefly directed to trans
form the two present kingdoms in the
peninsula into republic, which they
consider a better ground for the carry
ing out of their purposes.
They also believe that. perhaps I'M
consciously. the Anglo-Saxon influence
brought into Spain through the mar
rage of the king and through the
lengthy sojourn of members of Queen
Victoria Eugenie's family at the Span
ish court, is helping the downfall of
the present order of things there. They
think there is no doubt that the king
issued the decree concerning non-Cath-
Ollie worship in Spain simply to please
the Anglicans, who, since the marriage
of the sovereign with a Battenberg
princess. have been allowed to open %
chapels and 80 Protestant schools.
The worst position in the whole af-
fair is, perhaps, that occupied by Car
dinal Merry del Val, who did not expect
to encounter such difficulties in dealing
with the country which is dearest to
his heart He has employed all the
means at his disposal to avoid the
storm, using persuasion and threats, the
vast and mighty organization of tn e
church In SPAIN and the influence of
prominent relations and powerful
friends But all to no purpose. Even
a diplomatic attempt which was made
to obtain the intervention of foreign
countries and courts has failed. The
battle, however, say those who know
well the man occupying now the post of
secretary of state to the Holy See, is
not lost; there is another decisive card
to play. 1t is understood that from the
Spanish provinces, especially from
Basque, urgent requests are coming for
some one to raise the flag Of revolt
against "The attempt to un-Christian
SPAIN" Naturally the mind turns to
Don Jaime, but nothing has been done
to throw Spain into a new Carlist re-
volt.

A prominent appendicitis specialist has
made some humorous comments on this
subject.
Among the fashionable set Appendix
citis has become quite a vogue since
King Edward was diagnosed a sufferer.
Said the physician. people who are per-
fectly sound imagine that they have the
complaint, and nothing will satisfy them
but an operation.
IT know for fact, rather than lose
the patronage of rich patients, who are
under the hallucination that they have
appendicitis, have administered chloro-
form and made slight incisions in the
flesh. BY this means the patients are In
duced to believe that they have under
gone serious operation. and 1t is not

PLAN OF MODEL KITCHEN

In 1t. Too much space between the
different pieces of furniture neceSsi-
tates too many unnecessary steps. A
suitable moderate sized kitchen Is
about II by IA feet.
The kitchen should be convenient to
the dining room, either opening direct
ly into it or, still better having the
pantry between the rooms. In the lat
ter case there should be Il cupboard
with sliding doors opening into both
kitchen and pantry for convenience
in setting the table and removing
dishes to the kitchen. The cut gives
a plan of a convenient kitchen. show
ing position of windows and doors.
also the larger pieces of furniture
In this plan note the position of the
refrigerator. which can be reached
from the outside so that Ice may be
put into II without coming into the
kitchen. There is also window in
the cool room to which a window cup
board can be attached. This room
with its cupboard will take the place
of the refrigerator In winter and may
be used as baking room in hot
weather.
The sink, with draining board, is To-
Gated on the side next the pantry.
Sliding doors are arranged at the back
so that dishes washed in the sink may
be placed on the pantry shelves with
out going into the pantry itself, An
other convenient feature in the ar
rn Of 10 hn
tion of windows between range and
work table, giving good light and ven
tilation. If possible avoid having a
door leading upstairs opening In the
kitchen, because In such cases it Is al
most impossible to keep the Odors of
cooking from penetrating to the up

Wall and Floor Covering.
The kitchen to be sanitary in every
particular should be finished In some
way that will permit of frequent wash
ing. The best wall covering is the sim
plest and most easily cared for mate
rial that can be purchased. There is
nothing better for this purpose than
sanitas, material similar to oilcloth.
The first cost Is little more than
paint or tinting, but when carefully
applied 1t is more lasting. Sanitas is
put on with paste In horizontal strips
around the room. The edge Of each
piece must be pasted down securely,
and care should be taken to avoid
wrinkles. If tablespoonful Of mo-
lasses is added to each quart of paste
1t will stick more firmly.
The painted wall is suitable for
kitchen and pantry provided a fat
finish is given and color used in pref
erence to white. A glossy surface, par

His tongue in the middle was hung.
He praised her red hair, her eyes and her
