Jacksonville, Ga. The day was ideal
for an event of that kind, being
cloudy and cool most of the day

of time was caused by switching
at Cordele and Oglethorpe. Oh
course no one made any kick about
this, as excursion trains are usual
ly more or less late.
After the arrival of the train
all who had baskets of lunch left
them at the w. r. G. Memorial
Hall just outside the cemetery
grounds. Nest everybody regis
tered in the register kept at the
lodge of the caretaker of the
cemetery. After walking around
and viewing and admiring the
many beautiful monuments. erect
ed IN the cemetery by the different
states, great number of the visi-
tors gathered around the Band
Stand where the w. K. G. ladies
quartet sang many beautiful and
appropriate songs between the
different numbers on the regular
Memorial Day program. The ad-
dress by Rev. Chas. A. CHM was
appropriate and beautiful, full of
the spirit of the day. 1t was en-
loved by all. His number was
followed by a treat not on the pro-
gram, stirring address by Past
National commander of the e. A,
R., General Washington Gardner.
He made mention of the united
country, standing firmly behind
one president. He referred to the
equal eagerness of both the North
and the South to defend the COM
mon interests of both. His speech
was greeted by an enthusiastic
round of applause.
After the benediction by the
chaplain the crowd found it's way
back to the Memorial Hall where
all partook of a plentiful and
pleasing basket dinner.
After the dinner most of the
visitors repaired to the Prison
Park to witness the unwilling of
monument to Clara Barton, the
founder of the American Red
Cross and worker of good of all
kinds. The presentation speech
was made by Mrs. Ida Mcbride,
of indianapolis, chairman of the
monument committee and was re-
ceived, for the w. r. c., by Mrs.
Sarah A. Fulton, president of that
organization. Mrs. Hit, of Indi-

program was carried out which
included the reading of poems by

GRANDEES OF SPAIN.
Etiquette Of the Hat That Differsn-

tlatss the Three Ranks.
A grandee of Spain enjoys the priv
ilege, granted him many hundreds of
years ago, Of remaining covered In
the presence Of his sovereign. This
custom dates from the period when,
according to the theory then held, the
king was "the first among equals"
The ancient formula always Mt the
coronation Of the kings Of old Spain
was: 1--WE, your equals, choose you
to reign over u.s." And the king as,

There was a time when all grandees
Of Spain wore their hats In the pres

Of caste began to prevail, even among
the grandees, with the result that they

uncovered, and after an advance of a
few steps, put on their hats, unbidden
by the king, and the third class also
entered uncovered, but did not "cover"
until requested to do so by the king.
Then, according to the etiquette, "all

HIS FIRST DRESS SUIT.
Reflections of a Man Who Was Not In
Love With II.

The first dress suit is viewed with
much the same feeling as a boys
first pair of long trousers. 1t is the
turning point. 1t takes a lot OF
courage for the average man to
realize that he has grown so I'M

must have a dress suit. For, truly,
it is no plebeian outfit.
After having the suit sent home
from the tailor's the owner pulls it
out of the box and, donning it up
stairs, walks sheepishly down, SO
that his wife may pass an opinion.
A dress suit wouldn't be SO bad
were it not for the fact that the
coat is all cut away in front. II
makes a neophyte feel as though he
were not completely dressed. Then
those long tails hanging down be-
hind where once was the short bust

his suit doesn't fit.
Dress suits have all sorts of eff
fects on the appearance of a man:
His self consciousness is expressed
in his every action. If a man be
elongated the dress suit adds to the

Building In America.
The pioneers Of the northwest often
made use Of huge trees followed out
by fire or decay. Some of these stree
houses" they occupied as temporary
residences. Others they used as shell
tiers for stock OF as primitive barns,
Only one. however, eve had the dis
tinction Of being a United States post
office. That stump Is In Clallam coun.
ty, In the state OF Washington.
In early days the settlers were wide
ly scattered, and 1t was a long jour,
ney over rough trails to the ~postof1ce
Carriers could do no more than leave
mail at some central point. The big
cedar stump, twelve feet In diameter
and reduced to a shell by fire, was a
base from which a number Of trails
radiated.
By common consent 1t became the
p~ostotfice for a wide region. The set
tiers put on a roof Of cedar shakes
and nailed boxes around its interior,
which they regarded as marked with
their names There was a larger box
for the outgoing mall. There were no
locks, but the mails were never tam
pered with.
This primitive postofice was used
for more than a year: 1t has been
carefully preserved and is annually
visited by hundreds of interested sight
seers. The stump is believed to be
over 1000 years old, which clearly es,
tablishes its right to the distinction of
being the oldest postofice building In
America.-Youth's Companion.

ANIMALS AND TEMPERATURE.
Why Creatures Of Tropical Chimes Al.
ways Have Dark skins.

Animals are not SO easily accli-
mated as most people think. For
instance, a monkey used to living in
the trees in the shade, if exposed to
the hot tropical sun, will die within
three hours. A rabbit will be acted
on in the same way. 1t has been
shown that these particular animals
have not developed a sufficient sup
ply of perspiration glands. An ami
NAL with a plentiful supply Of these
glands can stand almost anything
in the way of heat, for the evapora-
ton of perspiration has an enor-
mous cooling effect. Therefore ami
mails used to living in trees OF in
the shade, not having the glands,
cannot stand tropical heat.
Another popularity is that ami
mails acclimated to tropical heat al
ways have dark or rejecting skins.
All animals domesticated in the
tropics that did not have them be-
fore have acquired dark skins.
Black skins absorb more heat than
white skins, and it would therefore
seem to be the wrong color for the
tropics. But the absorption of heat
by the black skin produces exces-
sive perspiration and consequent
cooling by evaporation, so it is real
ly a blessing. A rejecting skin
would not absorb much of the heat
rays. Such a skin is like a mirror,
and is possessed by sleek animals.
Black skins, while they absorb
heat more quickly than white, also
lose it more quickly when the animal
gets in the shade. As a matter Of
fact, nearly all dark skinned ami
mails of the tropics hide during the
daytime and come forth only at
night, simply because they are not
supplied with glands and not be,
cause of their black skin.
Animals in general cannot easily
adapt themselves to a new climate,
but it has been proved that man
can adapt himself to any climate,
whether his immediate ancestors
were ever subjected to it or not
The reason is in the wonderful heat
regulation of the human body.

ALCOHOLISM AND CRIME.

In. the investigations conducted by
the Committee of Fifty several years
ago, it was found that there was a
wide divergence of opinion as to the
causal relation of intemperance and
crime, though ten institutions out Of
the eighteen gave it first place as a
direct cause. The evil effect of all
cohol in this connection is generally
accepted, but it can only be proven
by painstaking Investigations cover
ing long periods of time, and diverse
localities and conditions. Criminology
is itself a wide field, and many ele-
ments other than alcohol enter into
the making of criminal. Baer, one
of the earliest German students of
the alcohol question, believes, how
ever, that all the factors which ac-
cording to experience lead to crime,
as for instance, loss of work, poverty,
ignorance and lack of moral stand
ards, are all brought about or nour-
ished by chronic alcoholism. Seventy
per cent of all the crimes and mis-
demeanors have more or less casual
connection with spirits.

Since the first Mass was said In
the new Cathedral on Palm Sun
day, many thousand persons have
passed through its portals and adj
mired its architectural beauty and
symmetry Of proportion. How
few of them, as they gazed in
silent awe at the massive struc-
ture bulked against the. horizon,
gave thought to the man whose
genius babe this stately temple
rise, stone by stone, OIL it's mag
nifcent pedestal, whose magma
ton pictured it in the realm of
the ideal long before. lis facile
pencil drafted the first rough
sketch? So
To Mr.. E. L. Masqueray we owe
a debt Of gratitude for the new.
Cathedral of ST.. Paul as it meets
our gaze today in all its perfection
of outline and artistic loveliness.
It was he who designed this archi-
tectural gem, who embodied in en-
during granite his conception of
what a grand Cathedral, worthy
of the Catholic heritage and flu
ture religious prospects of the
Diocese of st. Paul, should be. It
was no small task to plan it, even
in broadcast outline, to measure
and weigh each block of granite
and map out its relation to others
long before the first foundation
stone had been placed in position.
The Cathedral itself proclaims
the genius of its architect.
Mr.. Masqueray was well quail
fed for the work. His natural APP
titude, artistic temperament and
previous studies gave assurance
that the work of designing the
new Cathedral of st. Paul could
not be entrusted to more compe-
tent hands. He was a; pupil of the
noted French artists, IIaisne and
Ginain, a laureate student of the
Ecole DIES Beaux Arts In Paris,
and winner Of the 'tTravel Prize Z
which entitled him to two years
special study of ecclesiastical
architecture in Italy. On the COM
pletion of his course, he devoted
considerable time to the work Of
restoring one of the great French
Cathedrals. This work made him
familiar with every detail of
church architecture and was a
fitting preparation for the task as
signed to him when he was chosen
architect of the Cathedral of st.
Paul. Of him it may be said, as
it was Of Sir Christopher Wren,
the famous architect of st. Paul s
in London, " II you wish to see his
monument, look around you. "
The Cathedral Of st. Paul is Mr..
Masqueray's monument.

Most Reverend Archbishop cele-
DRAFTED the first Mass, blessed the
Palms, and preached at the late
Mass. He also officiated at the
Solemn Pontifcal Mass and
blessed the Oils on Holy Thursday.
He celebrated the Mass of the
Pre-Sanctified on Good Friday,
was present in the sanctuary on
Holy Saturday and pontifcated on
Easter Sunday, thus showing how
unfounded was the report of his
indisposition and generals break
down from everwork' which APP
peared in the public press in many
parts of this country land was
copied into so many of our Cath
Ole exchanges.
The Office Of Tenebrae proper
to Holy Week was admirably rem
dered with all the solemn gran
sdeur Of the Gregorian Chant by a
trained choir Of seminar
.ians under the direction of Father
Missia. 1t was more than usually
impressive this year, owing, no
doubt, to the more appropriate
setting, and was listened to by
congregations Which taxed the
capacity of the Cathedral. Each
evening the service was brought
ITO close with sermon suitable
to the occasion.
On Easter Sunday the Cathe-
Edral choir, augmented by an or
chestra, sang the Mass and the
Right Reverend Bishop Lawler
preached the sermon which we
publish elsewhere in this issue.
The greater seating capacity Of
the, new Cathedral, as compared
with that of it's predecessor, af-
forded ampler accommodations
for the large congregations at
tracted by Holy Week services.
Favorable comment ON this fea-
ture was very general and all ex-
pressed themselves as well pleased
with the change. This pleasure
will be enhanced hundred-fold
when the interior Of the new
Eedifice is finished. when sane
tuary and chapel have taken to
themselves the added loneliness Of
complete adornment even to min
utest details.

THE CHURCH IN POLITICS.

In the course of an address on
My Visit to the Vatican,' de-
livered by former President Taft
before the National Geographical
Society of Washington, the follow
ing timely reference to the
Church in politics is found:
From time to time a revival
of religious prejudice occurs and
an effort is made to inject into
political controversies this odium
theologicum. | greatly deprecate
the organization Of parties on re-
.ligious lines, because / think it
bodies no good for the republic.
No church is so strong that its
intervention in politics will not
ultimately defeat its purpose
therein, and no reason for voting
against a man is so narrow and
un-republic as that he differs from
the voter in religious belief. The
formation of societies or parties
to give effect to a movement in
favor of the members of any
church or against them because
they belong to the church should
be frowned on by every friend of
democracy and every friend Of re-
igious liberty. Such movements
usually are conducted under the
cloak of secrecy and are almost al
ways by reason of this perverted
into an instrument for somebody s
ambition or to achieve some poll
teal revenge"

The name Of His Eminence
Cardinal Logue of Armagh, heads
the roster of religious leaders who
have sent a petition to the British
Government praying that the
splendid example set by Russia
and France in regard to the drink
question be followed in Ireland.
They appeal for the closing of
public houses on Sunday and at
six O'Clock on other days, as well
as for other reforms calculated to
aid the people in their fight
against the temptations Of drink
in these difficult days. The petit
ton has been widely supported
and much good will eventually
come from the agitation against
drink which is being SO vigorously
carried on.
