WONDERFUL PREDICTION
 BY CATHOLIC PRIEST

A prediction made by Dom Bosco, Catholic Priest of Portugal, who died ten years ago, was published in the Paris "Matin" in June, 1901:
 "A European war will break out in 1913 or 1914. Germany will be dis membered, not, however, until she shall have penetrated into the heart of France. There mighty arm will hurl the Germans back across the Rhine. The man of pride will see his tree shattered and crushed to the roots and trodden under foot by all. The great battle will take place be- tween the two days of Our Lady, viz: between August 15, and September 15, when the Pope shall be dead and live again. Belgium will undergo great suffering, from which she will emerge increased in strength and much admired. Poland will regain her rights"

RHEIMS RUINED
 BEYOND REPAIR

LoNDoN.-Novelist Thomas liar dy, himself an architect in early days, has written striking letter on the bombardment of the Rheims Cathed- ral, from which the Daily News pub fishes an extract as follows:
 Gothic architecture has been dead art for the past 300 years, in spite of limitations thrown broadcast over the land; and much of what has gone from this fine structure has gone for ever.
 "The magnificent stained glass of the Cathedral probably will be found to have suffered most. How is that to be renewed? Some of it dated to the thirteenth century and is mimi table by any handiworkers in the craft nowadays. Then there was sculpture, mouldings, and other details, and, moreover, their. antique history. How can that history be imparted to re- newal?

 His postulates as to what life is on this earth have no resemblance to reality, yet he and his school seem to have eclipsed for time in Ger many the closely reasoned philoso- phies of such men as Schopenhauser. It is rather tough on the latter that his views of life should be swept into one net with those of Nietzche, Treitschke, and the rest"

Publication in Old Rome.

Some publishers in ancient Rome
could turn out books rapidly and
cheaply. A publisher Of the Angus
tan era produced 1000 copies of the
second book Of Martial in ten hours,
and these sold at about twelve cents
apiece, gave him a profit of 100 per
cent. This was done by employing
slaves carefully trained to write swift
ly and legibly. Working in patches
Of 100, with an overseer debating the
book in hand, the task was completed
in very short time. AS soon as the
copies were written they were re-
vised, corrected, rolled up and bound.
Being slaves, the men required only
maintenance from their master, and
thus he could afford to sell the pro-
auctions at a very low rate.

Poetry In Business.

The craze for giving fantastic names
to de luxe articles designed for the
rich lady shopper is spreading For
merly it was only costly bottles of per
fume which received titles supposed to
express their contents, such as Like
You,' "Temptress," Seduction" and
Eastern Mystery" Now the great
dressmaking houses are naming every
model which leaves their ateliers.
Well of Love" is the name of filmy
evening dress, very decollete and in
nocent of even the suspicion of
sleeve, which would not be approved
by critics of the slit skirt, although it
is most beautiful example of the
dressmaker's art. Daphne" "Esca-
pade,' Caprice" "Modesty," "Frivol-
ity,' 'Imprudence" and even Might
mare are some of the titles of the lat
est imported dressmakers' models.
The mode is spreading to other OBJ
jects of personal quality. For exam
pie, platinum and gold vanity bag
is called Accomplish" and a desk set
in fooled morocco is May He An
swer."

WILL TRY OUT CONVICT CAMP
Board Of Control viii Experiment
With Prisoners in Building
State Roads.

MadisOn.-Convict labor in building
state roads is to be used in Wisconsin
soon under the direction of the state
board of control. Two camps of pris-
oners are to be placed at work in an
experimental way within the next
month, one at Waupun and one at Tay-
cheedah, near the woman's industrial
home.
The plan of the board is to put the
prisoners wholly upon their honor.
Each company will contain about thir-
ty and no guard will be placed over
them, the superintendent to be a per.
son selected by the highway commits.
sion to have charge Of the engineer
ing aspects of the work and the fore.
man to have general direction of the
men.
President Smith said the mems rec
orGs would be taken into considera.
ton and their general disposition as
revealed to the prison authorities. He
said that the plan is experimental and
that if it is as successful as the board
expects, the employment Of prisoners
will be extended The incentive for
the prisoner will be an added wage
and the hope that faithful service may
modify the sentence
The board rejected all bids offered
for the building of the school at the
home for the feeble-minded at Chip,
pewa Falls. The board reappointed
the twelve superintendent of state
institutions.
