FROM FOREIGN FIELDS.

All bread used in Paris is baked In
public bakeries, the high price of flour
and the lack of appliances precluding
the ACCESSIBILITY of home baking
There are two grades of bread sold
on the markets of Paris, one selling
for 4 cents a pound and the other for
Is cents. Inferior quality of flour is
sold in small quantities at cents
pound, while the better quality sells
at from s to 10 cents. American flour
lis of better quality and is much in
favor. but owing to its high price the
sales of il are at present unimportant.

Even If foreign brushes are furnished.
the Chinese painter will not use them.
He says he saves paint by his method
and gets it more evenly distributed
over the surface. On exterior sur.
faces the Chinese paint is not dur

America
The exports of honey from Tam
pico, Mexico, to the United States dur
ing 1910 amounted to 1855 gallons,
valued at 1880 gold, an increase OF
about 66 per cent over 1909. the
greater part of the honey is the wild
product and is brought in from the
Huasteca section and TuXpam. Among
the flowers that are abundant are the
century plant and the lions tooth,
which are much sought after by the
bees. A species of mesquite known
as algorroba furnishes an abundance
of blossoms and a sweet sap, and the
bees frequently hive in the hollow
trees of this variety. The bees OF
this section are of the large yellow
variety.
The cocoa palm is one of the most
beautiful and attractive natural adorn-
ments of many of the public parks and
private gardens and environs in Bra
zil, often attaining a height of from
eighty to ninety feet. The trunk IS
without branches, and the leaves,
which cluster in a tuft at the top, are
from fifteen TO twenty feet in length.
At the base of the leaves the nuts
hang in clusters, the number varying
from three to fifteen, according to the
age and condition of the tree. Occa-
sionally cocoa palms are found which
do not bear nuts, and these attain
even a greater height, their sterility
seeming TO augment their virility and
consequent attractiveness.

During the season that closed in
November fully 100 albicores have
been shipped TO the United States
from the port of Yarmouth, Nova SEQ
tia. These fish, generally known here
as the horse mackerel, are caught IN
the Bay of Fundy and are very large.
One weighing 500 pounds with head
eliminated is no rare sight. Rarely
is one shipped weighing less than 300
pounds. Prior to a very few years
ago no attention was paid to shipping
these fish, but it was discovered that
they were marketable in Boston and
that a certain class of people there
were fond of them, and the shipment
began and has increased every year.
The average price for them here the
past season was 81 cents a pound.

and they would burn every one of us, or tor
ture us into apostacy, if they could.
They wage war upon our schools, descrb-
ing them as roads to hell, sinks of perdition,
and other insulting epithets. Not long ago,
a local priest In Belvidere, Ill, buIldozed
the school committee into uniting the prayer
with which a Protestant clergyman was to
open the exercises.
There were only two or three Catholic chill
dren in the school; but this insolent priest
contended that it would be an insult to them
to have to listen while Protestant prayed
And the cowardly school board insulted the
preacher, and every Protestant of the COM
munity by cutting out the prayer and the
benediction.
In my series of articles in the magazine, I
am demonstrating by unimpeachable evidence
that Roman Catholicism can not be found in
the Bible nor in the primitive churches. I
prove with absolute certainty that the Roman
Church of today is nothing in the world but
a survival of Roman and Oriental paganism.
It is the calm and scientific dissection of

az We favor a return to the constitutional
money-system of our fathers
(5) We favor the physical valuation of all
publlc-servlce corporations, in order that their
charges may be lowered to a reasonable profit

60 We condemn "Dollar Diplomacy" and
hold that our Government prostitutes its
powers when it cOerces weaker nations into be-
coming the victims of American fnanciers.
~ We regard as national menace the
war which the Roman Catholic hierarchy is
waging against our public schools. We de-
plore the cowardice of our politicians and
editors IN not resisting the encroachment Of
the Italian priesthood on our liberties
(8) We favor the Initiative, Referendum
and Recall; but demand that in national af-
fairs it be applied according to our Federal
system which guarantees to each State re-
publican form of government and complete
control of its internal affairs.
(9) We favor the restriction of all pOliti-
cal privileges to the Whites We are against
negroes in office, in the army, in the navy,
and at the polls.
(10) We demand that the public debt be
paid off as it natures; that our Treasury be
divorced from Wall street; and that no act
shall be passed rechartering the national
banks. To the Central Bank scheme we are
inhexibly opposed.
(11) We look upon the Federal judiciary
as the bulwark of heartless and predatory
corporations Life-tenure of office is undem-
ocratic and has been the curse Of this republic
We demand that the judiciary act of 1899,
creating these judges, be repealed; and that

for term of years, instead of for life-abol-
ishing the lower Federal Courts altogether.

(3) Inasmuch as our county unit system
was abolished by the Atlanta Convention of
last August, without notice to the people, and
without the convention which did it being
aware of what it was doing, we demand that
the legislature enact law which shall pro-
vide that all primaries in this state shall be

have no real protection against the adulter-

(5) We demand that the Legislature make
a law limiting the franchise to white adults

put out of office any official who betrays his
