LISBON, September .. 1912.
considerable number of priests hav-
ing refused to say mass and having aban-
doned their parishes. parliament has de-
creed that all priests who have accepted
stipends from the state have to live in
their parishes under penalty Of losing
their stipends. The press now reproduces
a note just published in the Osservators
Romano. the official organ of the Vati-
can, which states that all Portuguese
clergy are absolutely prohibited from ac-
cepting any stipend from the Portuguese
republic. as this would be tantaniount
to recognizing the law for the separation
of church and state. which the holy see
repudiates.
The note is much commented on here.
It places the Portuguese clergy in a DIFF
feult position. II the 800 poorer priests
who have accepted stipends from the
state insist on retaining them they will
have to abandon the Roman Catholic
Church. On the other hand. il they re-
fuse the stipends they will be plunged
into poverty, and, moreover this may
mean the closing Of many churches In
Portugal.

Willy Sexton.

Visitors to the Old North church
are shown through the historic old
building usually by an elderly man
WHO seems obsessed with love for
the church. His fund Of reminis
cences Is refreshing, and The mos
interesting thing he recounts is the
story of how the lanterns were
placed In the belfry.
According to his version of the his
toric incident, the sexton overheard
some English officers talking in the
house he lived in, and Immediately
hung the lanterns. Returning to his
room, he saw that his shoes were
caked with mud and hid them, replac
ing them with dry pair.
The officers, after they learned that
a signal had been hung from the bel
fry, rushed to the room Of the sexton
but, finding his shoes dry, became
convinced that some one else had
hung the lanterns and then locked all
the doors Of the editice.-Boston Jour

Conquering Smallpox Scourue.

Smallpox is no longer feared by civ.
ilized mankind. This is partly duo,
no doubt, to the immunization Of the
races through vaccination, and partly
to the better methods of sanitation
and preventive treatment generally.
In the first year of our occupation OF
the Philippines, where smallpox was
then an endemic or constant disease,
there were 675 cases among our sol
diers and 240 deaths. A system Of
rigid vaccination was adopted, and in
the last five years there have been
only five cases and not a single death

the same story, and seem to prove

cinnati reports that he has had much
success in preventing the pock mark
ing Of the face in smallpox cases by
painting the pustules with lotion OF
nine parts glycerine and one part
iodine. By this treatment also the
patients get over the attack in from
eight to fifteen days. Others prevent
the pitting by keeping the patients in
a room where no light whatever but
red light enters.-Pathfnder.

FREE PLEASURES IN LONDON

In London there are pleasures to be
had for nothing, as was explained to
me by hard-working woman with no
money margin for enjoyments. With
two feet and a pair of boots she could
hear music every evening during Lent
from Westminster Abbey to St All
bans, Holborn, and the church in
Soho which rivals the restaurant In at
traction. And all for nothing only
she confessed to putting half-penny
into the bag from her own depleted
purse The scientific economist could
probably spend o pleasant day in Lon:
don without spending anything else.
Some London relics have wandered
farther afeld than the Black Boy OF

quite an assortment. The entire stone

WARNING TO OTHER NATIONS
U. S. Will Not Allow Foreign En-

U. S. Will Not Allow Foreign En-
croachment on Western Hemisphere.
Behind closed doors the senate, 81
to A, adopted the Lodge resolution
defining the attitude of the United
States in disapproval of the acquisi-
ton by foreign interests of any terri
tory on the western hemisphere which
might be used as military or naval
bases or menace "the approaches" Of
this country.
The declaration rests on a much
broader and older ground than the
Monroe doctrine" said Senator Lodge.
This resolution rests on the generally
accepted principle that every nation
has a right to protect it's own safety,
and If it feels that the possession of
any given harbor or place is preju-
dicial to its safety it is its duty and
right to intervene"
Senator Lodge said the Monroe doc
trine did not touch on the precise
point involved in the Magdalena bay
case.
1t is understood that the administra-
ton is inclined to look with disfavor
upon the Lodge resolution regarding
it as unnecessarily inviting discussion
abroad of the Monroe doctrine,

Woman as Jail GoNernor.

Nine. Jenny Porchet, who has
charge of the prison at Aigle in the
Canton of Vaud, France, is now SO
years of age, and 81 years ago she
married the then prison governor.
At his death the authorities adver-
tised for successor, and among the
applicants was his widow, who had
managed the prison during her hus-
bands long illness. Another point in
her favor was her physique. In height
she wants only an inch of six feet,
and possesses the muscles of wres-
tier. The prison commission doubted
her fitness, but when she offered to
try her strength against the most
powerful gendarme, all doubts sub
sided. The prison is said to be the
best managed in Switzerland.
