CATHOLIC PRELATES ASKED FOR INFORMATION ABOUT MIXED MARRIAGES Archbishop Corrigan has recently been called by the Sacred College of the Inquisition me, in common with other archbishops and bishops of this couutry.for certain inform- ation regarding mixed marriages. The New York World says: The'object of the present in- quiry is to ascertain the operation of the ex- isting rates of the church governing the mar- riage of tholics with those not of that faith. The Catholic church forbids such marriages, asa rule, but permits them under special dis- pensation, which archbishops and bishops are permitted to grant. Thus, for instance, su yermitted where a probability is shown that the non-Catholic party to the union may thereby be brought into the church, But in all cases a stipulation or promise is re- tired that the eefldren of parents so married 1 be brought up in the Catholic faith. Archbishop Corrigan, preparatory to answer- ing the interrogatories of the Sacred congrega- tion, has caused to be ised to all the clei of the archdiocese answers to the following questions: What was the number of mixed marriage your parish during the past tgn years? ond —What was the number of marriages be- tween Catholics and persons not baptized by u the impediment of “Disparitatie -In all these cases were the promises required by the church faithfully ? Fourth—Have the promises made been ally kept? Fifth—In how many cases, as as you have been able to ascertain, have Protestant parties been converted to the Sixth—Do you know of any cases in parties have apostatized Seventh—Are the children of such parents baptized and educated in the Catholic religion, and, so far as you are able to determine, what is the number of these chil- dren who have been lost to the church? eee The Kind of a Wife You Want.

CURIOUS RESULTS OF THE OBSERVATIONS OF A LONDON PHYSICIAN. From London Tid-Bits, A London physician has recently been mak- ing a study of wrinkles. Says the doctor: “It is customary to say that wrinkles come from worrying, but the truth is that most of them come from laughing. This israther paradoxical, Imust admit, but I have only been convinced after the most careful investigation. To know how to laugh is —— important as to know when to do it. If you laugh with the sides of your face the skin will work loose in time, and wrinkles will form in exact accordance with what kind of langh you have. The man who always wears a smirk will Bave a series of semi- circular wrinkles covering his cheeks, “When a gambler, who has been accustomed to suppress his feetings, laughs, a deep line forms on each side of his nose and runs to the upper corner of his mouth. In time this line extends to the chin and assumes the shape of a half moon. A cadaverous person with a wax- like skin is very apt to have two broadly-marked wrinkles, one running up from the jaw and the other under the eye. These meet at right an- gles at the cheek bone, and look as paoces they formed a knot at the apex, The sc’ 's olar’ wrinkles form on his brow, while the scheming politician's come round his eye, where they ‘ook for ail the world like the spokes of a whee!

Guesh mush h of her husband, | s being the | se the work he loved for the Girl to Be Married—Inquire Within. From the Fortnightly Review. ‘The Roumanian villages are by no means as as the Bulgarian, which derive most of their beauty from the trees and gar- dens by which they are surrounded, for every Bulgarian is by natural instinct a gardener. In southeastern Wallachia and along the shores of the Danube the peasants live in holes dug in the ground and roofed over with a rude thatch, but near Bucharest the houses are fairly built, whitewashed, and covered with a thick thatch of cane, which extends beyond the walls and forms ashady veranda supported by poles. I noticed that the walls of some of the houses were embellished with gayly-painted pictures of flowers. The object of these adornments was not esthetic, but strictly business-like. «It was practically the same asif a card were hung in the window bearing the inscription: “Youn; lady of marriageable age to be disposed of. Excellent references and adequate dowry. pat oe within.” The convenience of this method of advertisement is indisputable. A young Roumanian in search of a wife has only to take a stroll through his native village. In a quarter of an hour he ascertains how many eligible damsels are furnished by the com- munity; inquiries follow, and very probably before evening he is suited fo his fancy. Eng- lish people who are “shocked” by this practical system ought to form a society for the sup- pression of our own matrimonial journals, A Countess a Factory Girl Now. From the Pall Mall Gazette. This is what we are coming to. The other day a young and pretty girl came to a magis- trate in a town in Austria demanding the regu- lation Dienstbuch into which the particulars about the antecedents of any one in search of work are entered, the booklet having to be shown to employers on application for employ- ment. On looking through the girl’s papers the magistrate found that his fair applicant was Melanie Countess Keglevich, born at Presburg, in 1874. As her papers wore an good order, the booklet was handed over to the young countess, and her ladyship is at present earning her liv- ing as a factory girl. see literacy in Europe. From the London Figaro. Only some 13 per cent of our population is now illiterate, but in Russia, Roumania and Servia 80 people out of every 100 can neither read nor write, In Spain the proportion of il- literates is 63 per cent, in Italy 48, But we are beaten by little Holland after all, for of every 100 Dutchmen, only 10 are unable to read and write. A still more wonderful result is arrived at in Switzerland, where 2.5 per cent is the highest illiterate proportion; while in Germany the rate is only 1 per cent, and in Sweden, Ba- varia, Wurtemberg and Denmark there 4s prac- tically no one who cannot read and wyite. So we have still much to do before we can con sider ourselves properly educated as a nation. Worse Than Thirty Days of Quail. From the Chicazo Herald, “Talk about your thirty-day quail contests,” said a young man yesterday, “I'd like to know if a man has ever tried to eat turkey fora month, I'm at it now.

Counting the Motes in the Sunbeam. From the London Daily News. Counting the dancing motes in a bar of sun- light sounds like one of those hopeless, never- ending tasks with which malignant fairies delight to break the spirit of little heroines in the German folk stories. Something more than this, however, has been achieved by modern science, which is now able to count the parti- cles floating in any given portion of the atmo- sphere and determine what proportion of these are dangerous germs and what are mere dust. Dr, Franklin's curious experiments have shown us how to count the micro-organisms, and now John Aitken, of Falkirk, by a totally’ different method, has been able to take stock of the more harmless but hardly less interesting dust motes. Thirty thousand such particles have been detected by him in the thousandth of a cubic inch of the air of a room. In the outside atmosphere in dry weather the same measure- ment of air yielded 2,119, whereas, after a heavy rainfall the number was only 521. That this power of prying into atmospheric secrets will eventually ‘yield very important results must be obvious to all, Among the most curi ous discoveries « made is the direct rela- tion between dust particles and fogs, mist and ep Arrracrioy: OVER A MILLION DISTRIBUTED.
