flyoienic Salts for the Bath.

A physician who believes in baths
as tonic advises the use of EPSON
or Carlsbad salts-preferably the for
mer-for a general inauguration. They
should be used not more than twice a

Take one ounce of the salts to a
pint Of warm water for sponge bath.
For a large tub bath use a pint of
salts to a tub of warm water.
Purchase the salts at a. wholesale
drug house. The usual price in guam

salt %ater makes an excellent tonic
and carries off many impurities
through the pores of the skin.

the early history of the Church in
the Northwest, lent gala effect to
the scene. There was float bearing
the name of Father Hennepin which
strikingly illustrated the arrival of
that pioneer standard-bearer of the
faith at the Falls of st. Anthony in
1880. Another, in the form of canoe,
mounted on wagon and drawn by
white horses represented the humble
craft in which Father Hennepin and
his five Indian companions made their
way along the Mississippi. In the canoe
were five chiefs from the White Earth
Indian Reservation and a grandson of
the present chief of the tribe of Crow
Indians. In the bow was stationed
living likeness of the pioneer priest
guiding the frail bark on it's course of
exploration. Following the float were
twenty braves and several squaws in
native costume and painted as their
forefathers were wont to be, in the
days when they were the lords of this
territory.

1t was an impressive column that
moved down Nicollet avenue to Third
street, across to Hennepin avenue and
thence out Hennepin to Sixteenth
street.
The parade was divided into three
sections. First came st. Paul and the
representatives of parishes outside the
Archdiocese; next came the state and,
bringing up the rear were the Mime
apolis organizations, $4,000 strong.
The representation from the churches
of st. Paul came close to 10000.
Every parish and Catholic society of
the city was represented in the line
of march. A striking feature was the
log cabin float of the Cathedral par
ish. 1t was drawn by six white horses
and marked, "Minnesota's First Ca
thedral, 1841."

TRANSLATION OF THE MANU-
SCRIPT DEPOSITED IN THE
CORNERSTONE OF THE PRO-
CATHEDRAL.

The cornerstone of this Pro-Cathe-
dral, dedicated to Mary Immaculate,
Mother of God, was well and duly
laid amid the plaudits of mighty
throng by Diomede Falconio, Arch
bishop of Larissa and Delegate Apos-
tolic, on the thirty-irst day of May
in the year of Our Lord nineteen hun
dred and eight, being the one hundred
and thirty-second of American indie
pendence, the fiftieth of the statehood
of Minnesota, and the fifty-second of
the Incorporation of the city of Mime
apolis. On this suspicious date Plus
the Tenth was Pope of Rome, and
Theodore Roosevelt President of the
United States, James Cardinal Glib
bons filled the primatial See of Balti-
more and John Ireland the metro
politan See Of st. Paul, with Anatole
Oster, domestic prelate, as his Vicar
General; whilst John A. Johnson was
for the second time Governor of Min
nesota, and James c. Haynes Mayor
of Minneapolis.
No sooner was the cornerstone of
the new Cathedral of st. Paul laid
than the Catholic body of the Twin
City grew active upon the question Of
a temple Of their own that would
emulate in piety, though not in mas
siveness, the sacred edifice Of the
metropolis. Today both cities, rivals
as they are and have been in growth
and resources, engage in kindly con-
test over the material as well as spirit
ual upbuilding of religion. Such a
stage of development has Minnesota
reached, so well established are the
claims Of Catholicity therein, that the
sweet burden Of erecting temples
more worthy of the Christian faith
has been adjudged to be neither i'll
timed nor ill-proportioned.
Wonderful indeed has been the
progress from the day when Louis
Hennepin, the first Christian explorer
OF these regions, immortalized the
falling waters hard by the city of the
future with the sacred name of An
thony of Padua. Long since have
free-born citizens taken the place of
Red Indian; the CORY ambuscade has
yielded to the arts Of peace, and
savagery to civilization. For hither,
through the trend of events or the
shifting changes of circumstances,
men Of enterprise, stoutness and cour-
age made their way. These pioneers
were Of different origin, indeed, but
soon foregathered on footing of
equality under a system of fair play
and freedom; nor has the stream of
settlers within living memory ceased
to flow.
No longer over wilds, but among
tilths rich in harvest and in men, the
Upper Mississippi seward flows, Gid
ing past the Twin Cities in it's course,
whose very nickname points to a
destined union in the future, whence
the Northern Star of Minnesota, like
the twin constellation of the Tyn-
darids, will culver more effulgent on
the spangled banner of the American
Union. With even brighter light has
this fair day shone on those for whom
not only were the exploring footsteps
of Hennepin dutiful recollection, but
the palDable evidences of spiritual

SPOKANE, Wash, April 4.-What
farmers declare is the first important
movement to partition the huge wheat
farms of the Palouse country, south
of Spokane, was started this week at
a meeting of the Federated Commerce

about 1OO,O 900 acres Of first class land

the horde of new settlers expected al

The land was offered by large farm
ers to be cut up into farms of 20, 40
and 80 acre tracts for diversified
farming. The average size OF wneat
farms in Whitman county, which last

The distinction of being the larg-
est ship In the world is now held by
the s. s. vaterland Of the Hamburg
American line. While closely re-
sembling her famous sister ship, the
Imperator, the new queen of the
seas exceeds her in all dimensions.
The Vaterland measures csc feet, or
nearly FIVE city blocks in length, 100
feet in width, and has a tonnage OF
$4,000. The leading decorators OF
Europe have been engaged to design
and furnish her sumptuous cabins,
each of which is a masterpiece in its
decorative style. The Vaterland will
sail from Hamburg on her maiden
trip June 4, arriving in New York on
June II.
Every conceivable precaution has
been taken in the construction and
equipment OF the Vaterland to assure
complete safety. AS in the case OF
the Imperator her hull has been con-
structed with a complete inner skin,
carried high above the water line,
making her ship within ship. Sac
/! is provided with both longitudinal
and transverse bulkheads, giving her
cellular construction, rendering her
proof against collisions and similar
accidents. She carries life boats more
than sufficient to accommodate all on
| board. Her powerful wireless ap-
paratus enables her to keep continu'
ously in touch with land. unique
feature is complete fire department
recruited from the fire departments OF
German cities. The efficiency OF her
equipment is assured by frequent
drills and rigid discipline.
