Confession is cnjoincd in the

No candidate for holy orders will

This, of course, refers to secular
clergy. The monastic orders
must b. celebates. a widower
priest may remurry. but he must
first renouncc his orders. A
curious inconsistency is that no
priest as long as his wife is alive

tions which are also very important
sources for the supply of oats,
barley hay and other food stuffs

ception of corn. experts say that
the shortage in yields for:two years
has been due to the lack of sub soil
moisture caused by comparatively
light precipitation between Oct
ober and May in each year. That
condition certainly will not worry
the farmers this year, for the
whole continent east of the Rocky
mountains has been deIuged with
rain and smothered with snow till
the soil must be full of moisture to
a 6epth of several feet. For that
reason the crop prospects for the
coming season are better than have
been for three years. A good deal
may happen between now and
harvest. but every thing is likely
TO get good start this spring. -

MEN OF WEIGHT

On August 10, 1878, Genera
Washington and ten other officers
of the Revolutionary army were
weighed at West Point, N. Y. anu
the result is preserved in an item
from the English magazine Notes
and Queries. Only three of the
eleven weighed less than 2OC
pounds. The heaviest was Colonel
Swift, whose Sl9 pounds made him
lead the next, General Knox was
only twenty-eight years old.
Then follow Colonel Michael
jackson, 252; Colonel Henry Jack,
son, 23S; General Lincoln, then
fOrty-fve years old, 224: Lieuten-
ant Colonel Humphreys, 22l;
Lieutenant Colonel Huntington,
212.
General Washington, forty-sIx
years old. weighed 2O9 pounds and
was followed at quite an interval
by Lieutenant Colonel Cobb and
General Huntington, who weighed
1872 pounds each.
1t is amusing to note that the
heaviest mans lame vas Swift and
tina! of the lightest General
Creation, who is credited with l66
pounds, l63 less than Swift's
record.
The total weight of the eleven.
2.4S5 pounds gives 226 pounds as
the average. but Swift being
omitted the other ten averaged
only 2l7 pounds.
They were certainly men of
weight and substance and a heavy

with a modern football eleven

WHEN SILVER WAS TWICE
AS VALUABLE AS GOLD

In early times silver was much
more difficult to obtain than gold
as it occurs less commonly in the
metallic form is shown in its less
general employemnt for objects Of
use and adornment. King Menes
who is supposed to have ruled
Egypt in the 3Sth century B. c..
fixed the ratio of exchange at two
and one-half of gold to one of
silver and silver remained more
valuable than gold until 1000 B.
c. Early in the development of
Indian and Chinese civilization
silver was adopted as the medium
of exchange, and the extensive
lead-silver mines of the Shan states
are known to have been worked in
very early times. How early will
doubtless never be known. as the
writing materials of the Chinese
are not well adapted to the
preservation or ancient records,
and the use of inscriptions upon
stone as method of preserving
records seems never to have
occurred to these ingenious people
until after the destruction of the
books of the period by imperial
command in 2lO B. c.

the real Western sport and is one
of the ver.s notable sensational

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK

Business sentiment is moro hope
ful this spring and the outlook
continues TO improve in spite of
the labor troubles we have had and
others that are threatened. Short
stocks in all hands tend to put
greater pressure on mills and
factories. and this in itself should
cause aquick upturn in the demand
for every class of raw and finished
merchandise. At the same time
stocks have been allowed to run
dangerously low, and interruption
of production through strikes

THE HINOOO'S GOLD

Will the hemorrhage of gold
from West to East continue; and
il so, how grave may be the effect
upon an Occident often nervous as
TO Il G status of its hank reserves?
Last year India absorbed S1l7,.
100000 in gold, or practically q
fourth of the worlds new supply.
This vast intake compared with
$50, 100000, in 1910, and $50.
000,U00, in 1909, and prior
annual average of little over S2U,.
600, 900. In the first l. weeks OF
1912 the takings from London,
Egypt, etc.. have totaled almost
$50, 100000 pointed TO ar least as
great a drain as last year. The
only offsctting influences are that
India has lately ordered cotton
goods heavily, and the fact that
tie Indian government, which last
year was busy restocking it's gold
reserve il has doubled since last
autumn-is now well supplied and
is apt this year to replenish, in
