Appeal Made by Catholics.

Further appeal has been made to the
State Department by Catholic priests tc
assist in the restitution of church prop
erty confisca ted in Mexico. The priests
were accompanied. to the Secretary OF
States office by Representative John ].
Egan OF New Jersey. The property re-
garding which the specific complaint was
made was held in the name of an Ameri-
can priest. The department already had
suggested to the Mexican government the
restoration OF the property.

Unable to Agree on Judges.

I'm 1899 twenty-siN nations of the
world met at The Hague and made
laws for themselves, some affecting
the conduct of nations in war, others
in peace. In 1907. forty-four of the
nations met at The Hague. At this
conference laws. some relating again
to war. some to peace, were stated and
afterward wrought into the practice of
nations. Perhaps most important of
all. the conference of 1907 adopted a
draft convention for the establishment
Of permanent court of justice-in
other words. supreme court of the
world All the nations represented
agreed upon this court. The only rea-
son it was not Immediately organized
and set into motion lay in the fact
that the nations could not agree upon
method of appointing the judges. ,.
The two great important outstand-
ing facts relative to the two Hague
conferences are that they were in real
ity law making bodies. and that the
leading countries OF the world officially
agreed to the organization of high
court of nations.

Baths In Finland.

One of the greatest trials visitor in Finland has to endure is Finnish bath. The method of procedure is unique. Divested of outer clothing and attired in light and airy cotton garment, you are slung in sort of hammock composed of cord above a large receptacle like the boilers in pub lie laundries. This is almost filled with cold water. into which at the right moment is flung a large redhot brick or piece of iron, which, of course. causes an overwhelming rush of steam to ascend and almost choke you. Then when that process has gone on suffi. ciently long you are shaken out of your hammock. immersed in cold water. and after very drastic treatment you re. sume your raiment. sadder and wiser than before your novel experience.

Co1usyad Himself

William F. Co1v one day engaged in a spirited talkfest with white haired, grey bearded trapper; who was by way of being the greatest and most successful liar in the locality.

 The trapper paused, enjoying the deep silence of the crowd.
 "Yes. But what did your bear do?' asked Cody.
 The old mans face began to take on the .purplish hue of pent emotion. His features strained and twitched as his brain sought a way out of his own mendacious culde-sac. Looking helplessly around and meeting no friendly glance from the audience, he finally blurted out:

COINS FOR OTHER LANDS.
South American Money b Made ln
 Our Mints At Cost Price.

South American Money is Made h
 Our Mints At Cost Price.
 Made In the United States might in nil truth be stamped on the coins of nearly a dozen of the countries of Lat in America in which a shopper would try in vain to buy merchandise bear. ing that slogan. for, though the Unit ed States does not ship great amounts of goods to the countries between the Rio Grande river and Cape Horn, it does supply them with large part of their money, says the Washington Star. and this, in spite of the Spanish phrases and foreign emblems that it bears. is the product of Uncle Sans own hints.
 Since the authorization to coin money for foreign countries was given to the hints by congress in January. 1874. more than 1O0.OOO.OOO pieces of gold, silver and baser metals have been minted for countries in North, South and Central America and the West h. tion.
 All foreign mlnf1nS. by the Un1ted States is done at price that just cov- CTS the cost. There are two reasons for the government engaging in the business. It puts this country ill pc sition to do neighborly acts. and it al- lows us to keep our coining equipment and force of operatives busy during periods when it would otherwise be necessary to suspend operations The decreasing need for hints with our vast accumuIations of coins, the growth of banking and the use of paper mon- ey is shown by the fact that of the seven hints that have been in exist ence in the history of the country only three are now equinped for turning out coins, the others having been either abandoned or turned into assay offices.

DIVORCE IN SCANDINAVIA.
1t Is Very Easy to Obtain, and It Does
 Not Cost Anything.

In Scandinavia divorce by mutual consent is the recognized way. And husband and wife may reach this agree ment when neither has violated any marital obligation. The law. you see does not require them to wait until one has wronged the other. But when they have reached the point where they two know that their real union is ended they may secure divorce for the ask. ing. It doesn't cost anything There is not even lawyer needed. The proc ess is simple. You notify a magistrate that you are separating. You are not required to go into details. You don't have to spread your marital troubles on court records and newspaper pages
 One reason is as sufficient here as when you entered into matrimony You simply state that you no longer wish to continue the marriage. Then one party to the contract goes away for a year-in Finland 1t is for only three months. At the end of the De riod the magistrate hands you the pa pers that dissolve the marriage as quietly as it was made.
 If. as rarely happens, mutual consent through the refusal of one of the con. tracting parties cannot be secured the process is little longer, the probation. ary period of one year being extended to two. But there is always a way out. Sweden has no less than twelve grounds for divorce. It is accomplish. ed in as dignified way as any other partnership might be dissolved.-Mabel Potter Daggett in Pictorial Review.

The Cocoa Plantation.

A traveller in South America. where the cocoa tree is largely cultivated speaks of the great care with which the young plants have to be protected from the sun. which if very strong is fatal to them. To secure this protec- ton the planters shield them by ba- mana trees and plantain trees, the broad leaves of which give them the needed shade. And even when they are fully grown they need protection. which is given by trees known as 'im- mortels." or as the planters call them. 'the mother of the COCOA" Thus the whole cocoa plantation has a sort of canopy.
