RELIGION in France.

There is no state religion in France,
but the adherents of any church or
creed can hold their religious belief
and observe their religious practices.
Under the law promulgated OH Deccm-
her ., 1905. the churches were sepa-
rated from the state. the adherents
of I'LL crcedS were authorized TO form
associations for public worship, and
the state, the departments and the
communeS, We're relieved from pay
ment of salaries to clergymen. For
clergymen OF forty-five years of age
pensions We're provided. Buildings
used for public worship were made
over 10 associations for public wor-
ship. The association law Of July l,
1901, requires religious communities
to be authorized by the state, and no
monastic association can be authorized
without special law In each particu-
lar case. Before the passing Of that
law there were $40 recognized associ-
atoms. and 7j3 not recognized. After
the passing of the law, of the 753 not
recognized. 305 dissolved themselves,
and AS asked for authorization which
was refused by the chambers, or par
lament, to the majority of them.

CUT OUT CROOKED STICKS
Use Of Dead Wood for Fuel Is Also
Applied to Scoundreis and
the War.

Forestry experts in New York, 4
state which has given much conserv-
ing attention to its wealth in trees,
urge farmers To help the country meet
the high cost OF fuel by making more
use of the dead and dying timber In
their wood lots. They are advised to
burn in their stoves and CRATES the
fallen logs still sound enough to be
converted into fire wood and to cut
down and utilize crooked trees obvi-
ously fOredoomed to worthlessness as
timber, no matter how long they may
be allowed TO stand.
This is good advice, and there Is a
human moral in the crooked stick part
OF 1t, says an exchange. The same
stress Of war times, which led TO the
appeal issued tn New York farmers
in sitting out crooked men. Some ras-
calls will profit by war conditions, but
in the broad view of the nations af-
fairs the sound and straight will come
to the front. The country can't take
chances with scoundrels. 1t must cut
crooked sticks out Of the life-and-
death work of the war, in places Of
authority.

A Near Calamity.

Little Mary was being initiated into
the wonders OF the Pullman ear. She
and her mother left the city early IN
the evening, each occupying II big cush-
Toned seat in the ear. Mary wished
to know at once where they were To
sleep, and after five minutes expiana-
ton by her mother she realized that
they were to sleep In a bed, made over
their two seats, which would be COM
pleted by the porter about nine o'clock.
AT the next stop a man entered tho
car and Mary was forced to give up
her individual seat to him. He had
reserved the upper berth, which she
did not know. The giving up Of The
seat was for time enough food for
thought, but she finally burst out with
this question:
Mamma. II we sleep here, and all
those other people sleep where they
are sitting. where is that man going
to sleep?"
'"rhat man." and the rest In the car
laughed. The explanation process be-
gan NIL over again.

Rat Deadly Disease Carrier.

The Spanish war developed the fact
that the mosquito was the carrier Of
yellow fever, writes +. W. Nelson In
the National Geographic Magazine.
Another type of mosquito is known
to be the carrier of malaria. The Eu-
ropean war has brought TO almost uni
versal public knowledge the fact that
body lice are carriers of the deadly
typhus and many diseases are known
To be carried by other insects.
Among these deadly carriers Of
death and destruction none equals the
house rat in its tremendous drain on
the prosperity ,of nations by its de-
struction of food and other property.

Hest OF all to mankind as a disease

caused the death of untold millions
of human beings through it's dlssemi-

According to dispatch from Copen-
hagen, drinking and smoking will real
~ be luxuries in Denmark under the
new taxation program just introduced
In parliament. 1t provides for spe-
cial tax on wines equal to the retail
price bottle, exactly doubling the
cost to the consumer. 1t almost dou-
bles the tax on beer, making 1t, ac-
cording to the president Of the Brew
ers' league, the highest In the world.
The measure increases the tax on
cigars, cigarettes, and tobacco to from
20 to 33 per cent OF the retail price
and is expected to return 16,OO0,O0O
kroner additional taxes. 1t fixes a
special tax of 10 per cent on all sales
Of jewelry and precious stones. The
income tax on incomes of more than
5000 crowns is increased by 80 to
20 per cent. The tax on property or
the value of $1,000 crowns and upward
Is virtually doubled. A % per cent In
crease In railroad passenger and
freight rates Is provided. The min
lister of finance I'm introducing the
measure. said that the government
would not have resorted thereto IL
any end Of the war were in sight. but
that as conditions are at present the
measure was an imperative necessity.
The fuel shortage in Denmark has
compelled cement factories in the
country to close down and this, In
turn, Will result In the stopping OF
operations in the near future.

Sweden.

A Washington dispatch says: With
soon be over, representatives of the
Scandinavian countries at a conference
at Stockholm in July, recommended
that the neutrals take common action
to save their interests both now and
after the war. This information has
been brought to Washington in dis
patches which tell of an official memo
randum issued by the Swedish govern
ment I'm which ii was pointed out that
the neutrals have the same interest In
a lasting peace as the belligerents and
in the establishment of an information
al judicial regime, and proposal that
the neutTals arrive at Il mutual agree
ment concerning their rights. Among
the subjects discussed at the confer
ence We're the treatment of subma-
rines, dirigibles and airplanes. the dis
position by the warning powers of neu-
trail prizes, the right of asylum for
prizes the establishment and use of
blacklists, the commercial policies of
neutrals during and after the war and
the adjustment of economic affairs.
Great excitement has prevailed
throughout Sweden on account Of the
disclosures by the United States gov
eminent as to the part played by Swed-
ish officials In transmitting code mes
sages for the German government from
Argentina, South America, aud from
Mexico. These disclosures put the
Swedish government in an unfavorable
light. and, as was natural, were OBJ
jected to by that element In Sweden
which is uninfluenced by the German
propaganda. 1t is believed they will
have a decided effect upon the riksdak
elections which are now In progress
and may result In the overthrow Of the
party now In power. 1t IL safe TO say
that a large majority of the Swedish
people favor the most thorough neu-
trnlity on the part Of the Swedish gov
eminent and they are indignant be-
cause Swedish foreign officials seem
to have violated that neutrality.
