Story Of clemenceau.

II is said that Monsieur Clemenceau
who bears the pleasant sobriQuet Of
'''the tiger" is about to connect him
self with new journal to appear in
the near future. This return to the
limelight from which he had not with
drawn to any distance, gives occasion
for some new stories concerning him.
One OF these is that a young man
applied to him for a place. DO you
know anything about foreign affairs?"
asked the tiger. Yes, monsieur"
was the answer to which he modestly
added, "a little" Clemenceau ap-
peared greatly astonished. "Ah, truly!
Do you know what is the question of
the Orient, the Austro-H Hungarian prob
lem, and pan-Slavic politics?' Yes,
monsieur" Then the tiger turned on
him. This is too wearisome. 1t
would amuse me much more If you
knew nothing at all"

crop of local statistics, | asked him

that it was about ninety miles, when

stroked his beard meditatively for a
moment, shifted his quid and said;

GOOD WORD FOR THE OYSTER
London Lancet, Always Pesslnistic,
Comes Forward With Surly
Need Of Praise.

When the Lancet, representative of
the medical profession of Great
Britain, says anything good about any
thing, 1t is listened to with emotions
of mingled surprise and respect
Some one has remarked that every
time he picked up the Lancet he dis
covered he was doing something right
along, or taking something that was
surely killing him. It has good word
for the oyster just at the time when
that apparently innocuous edible is
exciting the scrutiny of our always
feverish advisers, the psychologists.
This distinguished, if usually alarmist,
authority declares that the oyster Is
tonic of the first order, and COM
plete food, most beneficial to weak
ened patients and those in whom
appetite is deficient" Clinical results
of most favorable nature are re-
ported where oysters, are given to
persons suffering from tuberculosis.
II oysters are indicated for the diet
of persons in the state described, they
must be wholesome for the rest Of us.
There was. never any doubt about
this, of course, before nervous bac-
teriologists sought to fill us full of
fear instead of oysters. He was a
brave man who first ate one raw,
according to the philosopher of the
breakfast table; and now the bac-
teriologists challenge our courage.
The Lancet's commentator should
help to sustain timid souls at this
crisis.-Providence Journal.

SAW FALL OF PAGAN ROME
Stones Of the Coliseum lmmortalize
Today the Trlumphs Of chrlS-
tianity That Lives.

I Christianity is crystallized in the
coliseum and st. Peters. In the
former by the triumphs Of the
martyrs; in the latter, by the dedica-
ton of art to the worship of God.
writes Bishop Gilmour
Come with me along the Via Sacra,
past the Forum and the Arch of Titus.
But a step, and we are at the Coli
scum, pressed in between the Celian
and Palatine hills, the Arch Of Con-
stantine and the Temple Of Venus
AS we enter, the moon has IAN
giving a weird appearance ts th
scene, as we see its shadows fiji, ESz'
solve and lose themselves amid che
arches of this mighty ruin. Amid
broken arch and column and Vaulted
corridor, terrace rises upon terrace
till the blood curdles and the hair
stands on end. Memory is busy and
hurries us back to when Christian
martyr and gentle maid stood within
the vast arena to die for Christ.
The emperor is there; the nobility
of Rome is there; tier upon tier Is
.densely packed; the wild beasts paw
their cages, impatient for the FEAST,
one hundred thousand voices shout,
The Christians to the hons!" A
spring, growl, culver and another
hero has gone to God. Every brick,
and stone, and grain of sand in this
mighty ruin has been sanctified by the
blood shed there. Here a Felicitas
and Perpetua, Cyriacus and Pancras
died; here Rome brutalized herself,
and within these walls strove to crush
out truth.
Here Pagan Rome fell and Chris
tan Rome rose. The blood Of the mar
tyrs was the seed Of the church.
