SAMPLE OF SEX HYGIENE,

ii. The Postmaster General has ruled
that the lectures on Sex Hygiene are
= obscene and not fit for transportation
through the mails. A certain profes.
sor in the Chicago schools has writ
ten on the subject and the following
sample will explain why the lectures
were not allowed to be mailed:
Marriage" he is reported to have
declared in it, "is a restrictive device
which interferes with the greatest
function for which mankind was
created, and at the same time sup
plies an opportunity for the grossest
immortality under the guise or dis
guise Of holy matrimony. +
The wedding ring is the badge of the
bondage of woman's virtue to mans
I vice." .
Think of such rot as this being
pawned off for sex hygiene and used
as the basis for instruction for little
children.

SOUTH AMERICAN JEsuITs.

SOUTH AMERICAN JEsUITs.
German, French and Spanish Jesuits
are numerous in South America.
The German Jesuits are mainly in
Chile while the Spanish and French
belong to the Spanish Provincial Of
the order and are more widely scat
tered.
The work they are doing for the
uplift of humanity, the spread of re.
ligion and the sake of souls is not to
be discounted by the evil reports Of
those who make it their business to
defame South America and all those
within its borders.

RELIGION IN THE SCHOOLS

Much active participation in WAYS
ana means to do something to give
religion place in the public schools
OF Minneapolis is manifest since the
lecture by Hon. Bird Coler was deliy.
cred at the Pro-Cathedral.
Numerous sources advise against
introducing the reading of the Bible
IN the schools. in addition the Citv
Attorney has urged the practical diff
flculty of any use of the Bible or
any form of religious instruction in
the schools without encountering
earnest, if not rancorous, objections"
NO one will deny the truth of the
objections made by the city attorney.
The patrons of both public and
private schools have neither interest
or desire in provoking objections but
that does not settle anything.
The Tribune" on Tuesday morn.
ing sought to solve the difficulty by
suggesting the reading of psalms and
the recital of prayer as an abstract
proposition without reference to re-.
ligton. Now the worship of God is the
essence of religion and children who
are trained to recite the prayers
taught by their own church denom-
ination are of necessity very Jealous
OF their own faith and forms of wor.
ship. There is nothing strange or
bigoted about their beliefs in this
regard. We're this not true and thew
shifted from one form of worship to
another without thought or care they
could just as easily neglect the prac.
tice Of religion entirely.
The fundamental idea is lost sight
OF In this view of abstract religious
worship. Take the example of many
very religious people of all denomina-
tions. If they chance to be in a CITY
on Sunday where their particular
religious denomination is not repre-.
sented in most cases they remain
away from church service entirely
Men may argue that this idea is not
inherent in the nature of the worship
Of God - but that does not alter the
facts in the case. The worship of God
is the essence of religion - and to
permit religious instruction to be
taught by teachers in the public
schools means that 1t would have to
be done by those who in the very
nature of things are the most relig-
ious, and they it must be expected
will naturally teach. or give that
complexion to their teaching which
most closely resembles their own.
The attempt to 20 something for
the religious training Of children
deserves the support Of every patron

The story Of the Rose.

a. The rose was unknown IN Europe
prior to the ninth crusade, but was
brought back, by Thibaut, the Count
Of Champagne, from Palestine, where
it flourished on, the. plains Of Sharon
and on the slopes of Carmel, to his
castle Of Provins. Throughout all his
weary wanderings from the Holy Land
to his home in France the count care
fully tended this plant. namely a red
rose,, and managed to acGlimate it in
the, gardens around his, castle, where
1t multiplied Exceedingly: The fame
of the flower spread throughout
France and by reason Of its having
come from the Holy Land was re
garded as SO sacred that it was in
great demand for altar decorations
and for bridal wreaths.
Shortly before Count Thibaut died
he gave his daughter as wife of Ed
mund, Duke Of Lancaster, son Of the
famous John of Gaunt.
After the counts death the Duke
of Lancaster had to fight for his
wife's Inheritance. and when he re-
turned to England and settled there
he brought back with him as many
as possible of the red roses, known
then as the roses de Provins, which
was easily corrupted into roses OF
Provence. So. passionately fond was
he of these flowers and so devoted
was he to his beautiful wife that he
adopted the red rose as his heraldic
badge and as his armorial bearings
and was won't to, describe his consort
the lovely Rose Of Provence" BY
his followers, however, she was
known as the Rose of Lancaster
They both lie buried in Westminster
Abbey, and their tomb is covered
with sculptured roses.
His descendants naturally retained
both his badge and his armorial bear
ings; and thus 1t was that the rose
became identified with the royal
house of Lancaster, from which the
present reigning family of England
is descended. ,5%
The ruins Of the Castle of Provins
still exist. Its gardens are to this day
crowded with crimson roses,
descended from that single plant
which Thibaut, the "Troubador''
Count de- Champagne, brought back
from the Holy Land at the close Of
the last and ninth crusade.

Laughter Of Saints.


The laughter of the saints, says
Father Drouet, is healthy, frank and
true; it rings like honest metal; it
has the pure sound Of a soul at peace
with God and man; 1t is natural and
spontaneous, like the rustling Of the
golden leaves on a clear autumn day;
like the song Of the brook on the pol.
ished pebbles, or like the musical
thrill Of the lark soaring and culver.
ing with sheer delight in the glory of
the rising sun. Their laughter is a
manifestation of mental heath -,
sympathetic and contagious, which
means that it is simply and wholly
human -. ....-.
The saints seldom, il ever, INDUCED
in that loud. expression Of joy which
was totally unknown. to the Saint OF
Saints, our Lord Jesus Christ. Their
happiness usually found its express.
sion In that most human attribute,
Of which nobody would ever dream
Of depriving Christ Himself, the
smile, the smile that is to say, as a
modern, writer has it, "The Hight of
the soul upon the countenance., the
outward manifestations Of the highest
human feeling-tenderness, love.
Understanding Of the truth, admira-
ton for the beautiful. 1t is something
more than a variety OF. laughter, It. is
laughter transformed, spiritualized,
raised above itself"
Nothing could be more worthy of
man, and to this variety Of merri-
ment-be it said to the relief Of those
timorous souls whom my title may
have disturbed-belongs for the most
part to the laughter Of the saints:

The reductions shown by these figures
are not as much as might have been
expected. Under the Democratic tariff
law the wool manufacturer is to have
free wool which will decrease his cost
materially. The reductions made by
the American Wooden Company would
seem to do little more than reflect this
decline in cost.
Assuming. however, that these reduc-
tions are typical of the price OF worsted
goods under the new law. what will
the effect be on the price OF a suit OF
clotheso 1t requires approximately
three and a half yards of cloth to
make a mans suit If the reduction
in the wholesale price of the cloth
purchaser buys is as much, say, as 25
cents per yard. and if this is in no
way absorbed by the jobber or tailor.
he will save 81 I-2 cents. The greater
part of the cost of a suit of clothes
is labor. and the tendency of wages is
upward. Any saving. therefore. in cost
OF material to the consumer probably
will be absorbed by the tailors. or, If
not by them, by others who handle the
cloth after it leaves the factory. If
this statement is a disappointment to
the consumer, we advise him not to
stop regarding the tariff too. seriously.
His ills. is so far as they are real.
are not caused by it He must delve
deeper for a remedy.

Inspect the Fire Escapes.

1t is stated, and apparently with
some foundation. that some of the fire
escapes on apartment houses and other
buildings in this city were weakened
by the hurricane of last week.
1t is TO be supposed that the build
ing inspectors office is alive to its re-
sponsibilities in this matter. At the
same time it can do no harm to call
attention to condition which is said
to exist, and thus stimulate official
activity. Eternal vigilance is the price
Of safety.

Noah was a reformer. The world was
very tough in Noah's time. and it filled
him with Indignation to see mankind go

Noah ran on the reform ticket at each
election for 115 years. and never got any
votes except in his immediate family.
This made him the laughing stock of the

weary of the performance and confided
to Noah that he was going to drown out
the whole mass Acting on this tip.
