THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, APRIL 28, 1896. YORKE TAKES (P RUSSELL'S WORDS, A Prelude Devoted to the Clerical Good-Citizen- ship Speaker. BARELY STANDING ROOM Audience Filled Every Available Seat and Foot of Floor Space. The OLD STORIES ARE DENOUNCED. Thunders of Applause Frequentiy In- terrupt the Eloguent Chance!- lor’s Words. If the attendance at the lectures of Father Yorke increases for the last two of the se- ries of five as it has for the first three Met- ropolitan Hall will prove altogether inad- equate to accommodate the admirers of the eloquent champion of Catholicism. He delivered the third of his discourses m 1 and Religious Liberty” under the auspices of the American Women’s Liberal League last night, and long before the exercises began every seat in the house was occupied, and there was a deep fringe of ladies and gentlemen at the back and along the aisles of both gallery and audi- torium. Father Yorke's entry upon the platform from the anteroom back of the stage was the signal for a veritable storm of cheers and hand-clapping. Henry E. Highton acted as chairman. After Miss Marie Georgiana had ren- dered an organ voluntary, Harry Diemans sang “Song of the Holy City” in a very creditable manner. ¥ Chairman Highton then spoke as fol- lows: ‘‘Before yon reach the great event of this evening I have a very few words to say to you myself. In accepting the invi- tation to appear at this meeting I wish to be extremely briefand explicit. The Amer- ican Women's Liberal League is organized for the purpose of protecting religious freedom. Their object meets with my heartiest indorsement. My religious They should not by any o Iam first This country may by the Norsemen, a eopled under opinions are my own. h be interfered w and all an Amer have been discovered but it at_for such influences New England, the region of the great lakes, the sources of the Mississippi and the vast chain of States wuich connects the Atlantic with the Pacific would never have been settled | and developed.” He referred to the establishment of this Government as being the first genuine re- public dedicated to religious freedom and equal *It was dedicated,” he con- ot to Protestants nor to Catho- to Gentile or Jew, byt to all It was not. however, dedicated to m or atheism.” Afier a few words ted praise for the speaker of the evening he introduced Fataer Yorke, who, as he came forward, received an ovation. He began thus: “There is no reason that I should add | 1ing to the eloguent words the Hon. | Highton has addressed to yon. it not necessary for him or &ny true ws American_citizen to express accord with the Ame: Women's Liberal League. Such an expression should be taken for nted. He isone of the few men, how »me forward in de ution of the United of the constit w, if the audience will indulge me I would like to induige in a little prelude before entering upon my lecture proper. *‘As the astronomers watch the sky and see one star er another swim into tae ficld of vision and then out again, so have we seen the stars of this organization which holds forth each Sunday in this hall ass before us and then disappear. In the papers of to-day—in all three of m—we are ired that yesterday a of unusual magnitade shed its efful- e on the audience. His words were Liree papers so as to show s malice of them, 1em, and one of these 1l not a2llow us to say & word in e. “I notice that the Rev. A. M. Russdll, who, if he were not christened Ananias for his first name should have been, de- livered a le e on the surprising sabject, ] ; _the best friends the Not only did he deliver «ct, but went so far as tosay: ‘I am serious about this’ [laugh- ter]. Hesaid: ‘Isay in riect sincerity the principles of the A. P. A. are better calculated to strengthen their institutions st gen a lecture on the snk than anything else. *‘The principles of the A. P. A. are not calculated to strengthen anything but what thrives on mendaciiy, but its work- ings have undoubtedly sirengthened the Catholic church. It has done so because the American people is a just people and hates wrong. And when they see any body of men or any institution assailed by slander and by calumny, then that insti- tution becomes dearer to them and stronger than ever before. “*I say this,” goes on the Rev. Ananias M. Russell, ‘because we are working for the enlightenment of the Catholics. *The men who cannot write an ordinary letter without misspelling every otheér word—the devotees of the little red school- house—the litile-read patriots—these are the men who are, out of their own dark- ness, to enlighten the Catholics of this commumty. “‘They do not know their own history, except as they getit from Father Yorke, and such vile sheets as the Monitor,’ ” read rather Yorke, with a grnim _smile, quoting from a clipping of yesterday’s CaLy, and then he commented as follows: “We have been getting history, not from Father Yorge and not from the Monitor; we have been getting it from this platform. ‘We have heard how the Irish deserted in the Civil war; we have heard how the Jesuits killed Lincoln; we have almost entered into the secret manufactory of history, and we ought to be very thankful, when the history which thoss men would stuff down our throats was put to a fair discussion, to know which history came out of the crucible. In the hundreds of arguments and in the hundreds of facts which had to be brought forward in the late controversy, there was not one from our side which could be calied into ques- tion. And from the other side we see the panes of glass shattered in their historical windows, until there was not one left to keep out the cold winds of a very cold day. ** “‘Any intelligent man knows that these are falsifying,’ ” read Fatber Yorke, again resorting to his Oarn clipping. Then he asked : “Were we falsifying when we said that the leader of this society of bigots was not a naturalized citizen? Were we falsifying when we produced the oath by which they swore to undo the constitution and when we challenged them to go before a notary public and swear that it was not true; speaker, “if I were to anticipate the time when we shall drag them out from their biding places; when we shall show them even where they are now, with their hands at each other’sthroats; when we show yon these trusted patriots running to sell their secrets. *‘And thus goes on this Rev. Ananias Russell. But I am_sorry to see he is a Baptist preacher. We must remember, ladies and gentlemen, that one of the first of men to proclaim religious freedom in this country was Roger Williams. “One of the first in the New World, after the noble Lord Baltimore, to pro- claim religious liberty in these United States was Roger Williams, a Baptist min- ister. How this great and good preacher would blush were bhe alive to-day and could see this unworthy descendant, the Rev. A. M. Russell. You know of his calumnies, and what they are worth. “It is alleged by this individual that we Catholics are led by the nose by the priests. It makes no difference that we are as free and loyal as any. Tt has no weight with him that Catholics resent any interferencein theirprivate and political “affairs by either priest or parson. e says we are slaves, and slaves fersooth we must be.” The Reverend Chancellor then read with sparkling comments THE CaLy's report of Mr. Russell's anti-Catholic lecture. At frequent intervals he was interrupted by bursts of applause. All levity, however, was leit aside when the subject of paying for the forgiveness of sins was mentioned. “Think of it, ladies and gentlemen, in this nineteenth century, in this City of San Francisco, we have to hear rehashed an ancient calumny which reputable con- troversialists long ago abandoned to t babbling polemics of old womer, ALONG THE WATER FRONT Damage to the Steamer Point| Arena Not as Great as Expected. KEEL AND RUDDER-POST GONE. The Trial Trip of the New Steam Schooner Kadiak a Genuine Success. The steam schooner Point Arena made a more interesting picture yesterday than during the whole course of her life. She was on the merchants’ drydock and men were busy boring holes in the hull to allow the water in the hold to escape. Around the propeller was coiled the moor- ing line of the Whitesboro and about a hundred yards of the rope had to be coiled up after the vessel was docked. The Point Arena did not show any out- ward signs of her encounter with the rocks he | at Point Arena. The keel was gone, but and | contrary to the reports of the divers there Peters had a lot of flour for that point. When the steamer got her breast line aboard and began to go astern in order to swing in the barkentine’s lines parted like packthreads and both vessels went adrift. It only took the Peters a few minutes to redock the Papeete and the work of trans- ferring cargo was not long delayed. The Alaska Packers’ Association has received word that tiesteamer Ella Rohlffs has arrived_at Karluk and the bark Gatherer at Prince Williams Sound. SPLENDID ITALY. Brave and Patriotic Sons Respond to the Appeal for Millions of Franes. A telegram from Rome states that the Ttalian loan of 140,000,000 francs has been covered fifteen times. The greater part of the subscriptions were made in Rome and Milan. The editor of the San Francisco L'Italia, commenting on this, says: ‘When the day which followed the battle of Adus showed the sad necessity of thinking of & loan in order to vindicate the honor of our arms, numerous capitalists and bankers in Berlin and Paris offered the Italian Govern- ment the needed money. It {s impossible to deny that this was 80 80t of sympathy and confidence; that if the generous offers were made in the hope of doing a good stroke of business, it is nevertheless true that this security and hope of doing good business was an act of confidence, and showed faith in the financial future and in the economy of Italy. But the [talisn Government did not think it necessary to accept these offers, for it wished to make an appeal only to the capitalists of 1ts own country. Itdid well. The credit bonds of 140 millions voted by the Parliament to meet the expenses of the continued campaign in Africa have been covered fifteen times. Thetmeans that in a few days the Italians ey ' : Diade v JSTS NG When the Steam Schoomer Point Arema Was Backing Out From the Wharf at Point Arena She Picked Up the Mooring Line of the Steamer Whitesboro in Her Propeller.

This Engraving Shows the Stern of the Vessel and After Having Been which old women of sense have turned over to the Rev. A. M. Russell. “And now, in the face of this atrocious | falsehood, weighing well the meaning of my words, I stand before you to-night and brand this Russell as a liar.”” [Great ap- plause.] “Iknow thet the word is not a refined one. We do not often hear it in good so ciety. mountebanks like this false minister of the Gospel we are not in good society, and it is hard to lay down rules of etiquette for sucn a strange encounter. “The first one known to have been put to death on account of his relixious opin- | ions was Priscilian, in Spain. He was con- aemned by a Spanish ecclesiastical coun- cil for publishing hisdoctrines, which were immoral, to say the least. pealed to the Emperor of Rome, who responded by ordering his head cut off. | The Emperor and the executioner were both Curistians, but St. Amorose of and St. Martin of Touro raised their voi in urgent protes! Bo forcible were their words that since that day we have no record of any judicial condemnation to death of any one on account of his re- | ligious opinions. “We have heard much of late regarding St. Thomas Aquinas. He is said to have had a special liking for roast heretic, and to have enjoyed nothing better than heterodoxy when it was broiled. Yet this sanglinary saint was one of those who protested most earnestly against the baptizing by stealth of Jewish infants. This was in the thirteenth century, yet how many proselytizers of our day would give their very eyes in order to entice some little Papist child into tbeir con- venticles and ‘make a bad Protestant of him. In Thomas’ day heresy was not organized, and was in fact almost un- known except by name. But he lays down the principle that followers of all false re- ligions, so long as they do not interiere with the dominant faith, are entitled to the protection of the civil law. “‘After some centuries, however,we com- mence to meet with heretics. These were m:n and women born of Catholic parents, who had adopted views at variance with the Catholic faith. Not alone did they entertain these views, but they endeavored to promulgate them. Much persuasion, restraint and preaching were employed by the clergy to reduce these people to sub- mission to their ancient faith, but no vio- lent measures were used or advocated, nor was the aid of the civil power invoked.” The Inquisition, the Chancellor contin- ued, was originally established by author- ity of Pope Sixtus IV for the regulation of the conduct of converted Jews. But there was so much cruelty in the methods of the first inquisitors that the Pope severely censured the tribunal. ““In the reign of Phillip II the doctrines of Luther began to be heard of in Spain,”’ continued the lecturer. “The Inquisition, now in good order with all in authority, teok the heretics in hand. We hear it said that 200,000 or 00,000 persons were burned alive for co: ence’'s sake. The | only authority to whom any one can now appeal for figures and names as to the In- quisition’s victims is Llorente, a priest aithless to his vows, who was once secre- tary of that tribunal. He fled to France for political reasons, taking the records of the Inquisition with him. There he pub- lished his history, and in order to avoid having his assertions callea into question burned the records forthwith.” Father Yorke then proceeded to compare Llorente’s l\i¥hly-co!orcd history of the Inquisition with authentic records of the reign of Henry V1II and Elizabeth in Eng- land, in order to prove that these two brief epochs far surpassed in sanguinary perse- cutions all the 350 yearsof the Inqusition’s existence. The Huguenots in France were also noticed. ““When the cruel Italian aueen gave the signal for the massacre of the Huguenots in order to bring about her own political ends, priests received the fugitives into their houses, and biskops were known to conceal flesing heretics under the high al- tars of their cathedrals. Not all, nor nearly all, the Catholics of those days approvea the war being waged upon the hapless Protestants. = =1t isa good thing for us to remember hat the days of persecution, whether waged by Catholic or Protestant, are past and gone. We have come here to-night to when we showed that the members who speak on the stage were men without char- acter in public or private life? And I would not be falsifying,”’ continued the think over these dark days and to resolve to work for the dawning of a new era in which hatred and ill-will ehall give way to the sweet empire of brotherly love.” But when we are forced to meet | Priscilian ap- | | were no holes in her bottom. The rud- | der post was gone and new steering gear will have to be put in. The bulwarks were damaged and new standing rigeing will also be required. The deck-houses have been started and repairs on them will be necessary. In the engine-room some of he pipes were broken and the machinery will have to be overhauled. As matters stood, however, both the underwriters and owners got off very lucky asthe repairs will not cost over $3000. The Poimnt Arens was at Point Arena un- loading her cargo last Wedne:day week. After completing the work she backed out. The steamer Whitesboro was moored to a buoy, and the steam schooner got foul of | her lines. In consequence she was dis- abled and drifted on the rocks. The Whitesboro had steam up and went to her sistance, and with her help the disabled vessel got off. Soon after the South Coast hove in sight, and her captain agreed to tow the Point Arena to San Francisco for $250 a day. The task was accomplished and the steam schooner was turned over to Captain Whitelaw, the wrecker. After many delays he got her on an even keel and pumped her out. | Yesteraay she was docked. James Riley, a fireman of the steamer Santa Rosa, was picked up in the bay yes- terday by Charles Kineley. The latter noticed the body floating in the Brannan- street slip, and after calling Officer Whit- tle got intoa boatand brought the body ashore. There was still life in 1t and the ambulance was calied for. Riley was taken to the Receiving Hospital and is still lying there in a precarious condition. The Reliance and Alert had a tug-of-war yesterday. The former had been fitted with a new patent propeller, from which great things were expected. in the test, however, the Alert easily pulled the Reli- ance over the line, and John D. Spreckels, who witnessed the test, at once ordered the old propeller back into the Reliance. The new steamer Kadizk, that was built by Hay & Wright in twenty-three days, had her trial trip in the bay yesterday. 1t proved to be a genuine success, the vessel averaging 1134 knots an hour with and against the tide. Among those who were Qresenb on the trial trip were George Vogel, J. Levi of H. Levi & Co., Joseph Eva, president of the Alaska Improve- ment Company; Superintendent H. Barling, Aleck Colvin, L. Foard, Captai Grey of the Shipowners’' and Merchants’ | Towhoat Company, William Clift, Judge | A. Oliit, 8. N. Thomvson and Joseph Pen- | tacost, secretary of the Alaska Improve- ment Company. The Kadiak is one of the handsomest | little steam sehooners in the bay, and her speed was a revelation to her owners. She cuts through the water likea knife, and | when making twelve knots an hour there is no eign of *a bone in her mouth.” Be- fore coming to the dock the captain ran a | broom up to the foremast head. By this he let all the world know that he had swept the seas. Ohallenges from other steam schooners are now in order, but as | the Kadiak leaves for Alaska on Thursday | next the contest will have to be postponed | until her return from the canneries. On the trip around the bay the Kadiak stopped at Hunters Point, and all tbe ex- cursionists visited the Oregon. The biz baitle-ship was inspected from stem to stern, and the experts were enthusiastic in raise of her fighting aualities. From unters Point they went to the Urion Iron Works, and thence the vessel was speeded to Fort Point, On the return a stop was made near the Brothers, and a sumptuous luncheon partaken of. The California Navigation and Improve- ment Campnn¥ has inaugurated its new Sunday line of steamers. They will run in future until countermanded, which will mean 2s long as they pay expenses. The arrangements are such that San Francis- cans can spend a day in Stockton and get home on Monday morning, while the Stocktonians can spend a day in this City. Sunday last the Mary Garratt got in at 7 A, M, Wwith a crowd aboard and sailed again ¢t 7 p. M. Saturday night the J. D.

A trip up the San Joaquin to Stockton, and a ride on the Ban Joaquin Vailey Railroad, is going to be one of the favorite outings this sum- mer. The steamer J. D.

In a letter to the editor, Major Edmond G. Fechet of the Sixth Cavalry says: “S8ome time ago I heard the following story of General P. H. Sheridan from a former officer of the Third Mich- Forty igan Cavalry. It seems that when the regiment first went out it was without a colonel, and the officers bad an idea that they would like an officer of the regular army to fill the va- cancy. At this time the regiment was in St. Lo and hearing that a regular offi- cer by the name of Sheridan was in the city, and that he wanted the command of a regiment, a committee was appointed to go to the city and see him, or, as the narrator expressed it, to take Sheridan's measute. On the return of the committee the officers assembled to hear its report, which was as follows: ‘Well, we went up and saw Mr. Sheridan, He is a short, red-faced Irishmen, and don't seem to amount to much. We do not think he would do for colonel of our regi- ment.” The gentleman who told me this story gave the names of other officers of the regiment who, he said, could vouch for its truth.”—Army and Navy Journal. ————— The venom of snakes will destroy vege- table life, but not without inoculation.

He Will Sweep B:fore His Own Door Eefore He Does the Same for Gentiles. Naphtaly Herz Imber has been chal- lenged by the spiritualists of Oakland—or is about to be—to meet Professor Zanzic in some sort of manifastation. Professor Imber on the other hand has challénged Rabbi Fryer tomeet him at the vestry of the Temple Emanu-El, and there offers to point out to him three words of the Hebrew Bible which he aversthe Rabbi cannot translate. So Professor Imber is having an in- teresting time of it. He dismissed the challenge of the spiritualists with a few caustic reflections, but as to the Rabbi he holds to the subject at great length. The Rabbi has been criticizing Imber severely, characterizing him as a fraud and imposter, and it is this that has put Imber into fighting mood. “Fryer's attack upon me was not un- looked for,” said Imber yesterday. “On the 10th of April I was invited to a Jewish home at 1723 Buchbanan street, and chis rabbi was present. He left at about mid- night, bidding me a perfectly - friendly good-by. I told the lady of the house at that time that he was a shallow and a bad man, and that he would speak evil of me. She was surprised that 1 should sav so, because he had seemed so friendly, but the next Sunday morning in his pulpit he fulfilled my prophecy. He said I was act- ing under false pretenses in many claims T have made, but I have establishea my reputation as a truth teller. “Acting under the advice of friends I have challenged him to translate certain words in the Bible. He certainly ought to know the Bible. I was going to chal- lenge him to translate from the Talmud, but friends say that would be too much to expect of him. “I understand that he has accepted the challenge, and I now and here name the time and place—to-morrow, Tuesday after- noon, at 3 o'clock, in the vestry of the Temple Emanu-El. I invite all the rabbis of the City and reporters of the press. “I am not through with Rabti Fryer,” continued Imber, “The Jews of the City agree generally that he has treated me badly, and it is for meto reply to him. In all my fights with rabbis—and I have had a number—I always win, because I repre- sent the truth. “Not only am I assured of the support of all the rabbis here, but I am supported by the extreme orthodox Jews, who come congratulating me in having exposed tkat ignoramus. “To show the character of the man who has abused me and the cabbala, of which he has no idea, I have to say that he has a Bible class at the Bush-street Tabernacle composed of young girls from 16 to 18 years of age, and instead of teaching them the Bible he has been lecturing them for weeks about marriage and charging them never to marry a gentile; implanting racial batred in their breasts. ‘‘Again, he says that smoking on Sunday is not & violation of the law. That may do for gentiles, but not for Jews. ““The difference between orthodox and reformed Jews is that the former believe in the old law of the Talmud while the latter stick ouly to the Mosaic law. But as making fire in any form is a prohibition of the Mosaic law. smoking is a violation according to the reform conception. “Iasked him how his smoking agreed with his congregation, and his reply was that as soon as the present president of the synagogue got out, who, he said, was kalf fanatic and half lunatie, he would do away with these rules and regulations, which bad stunk in Jewish nostrils for 4000 years. “Now this is the man with whom I deal. The ancient Jews worshiped a golden calf. That certainly had some value. The Jews of the Bush-street Syna - gogue worship an ass in human shape that can only bray.” Concerning the spiritualistic agitation concerning him Professor Imber says: “I am not a materializer of the spint, but a spiritualizer to spiritualize the body. If these spiritualists who are so eager to deny that I am one of the thirty-six had read THE CALL they would have seen that I do not claim to be one of the thirty-six but that I bave been chosen by them to expound the Cabbala. But I will accept their challenge. When I have swept before my own door it will be time enough to do that for the gentiles. [tis true I have no one to back me. Ido not need any one. I, with truth, am a ma- Jjority.” WOLF OHILDREN. Live in the Dens of Wolves and Share Their Prey. A jemadar told me’that when he wasa lad he remembered going with others to see a wolf child which had been netted. Some time after this, while staying in an up-country place called Shaporeooundie, in East Bengal, it was my fortune to meet an old Anglo-Indian gentleman who had been in the Indian civil eervice for upward of thirty years, and had traveled about dur- jug most of that time, and from him I learned all I wanted to know of wolf children, for lie not only knew of several cases, but had actually seen and examined near Agra a child which Lad been re- covered from the wolves. The story of Romulus and Remus, which all school- boys and the vast majority of grown-up people regard as a myth, appears in a different light when one studies the ques- tion of wolf children, and ascertains how it comes to pass that boys are found living on the very best terms with such treach- erous and rapacious animals as wolves, sleeping with them in their dens, sharing the raw flesh of deer and kids which the she wolf provides, and, in fact, leading in all essentials the actual life of a wolf. A young she wolf has a litler of cubs, and after a time her instinct tells her that they will require flesh food. She steals out at night in quest of prey. Soon she espies a weak place in the fence (generally con- structed of thatching grass and bamboos), which incloses the compound, or ‘un- uah,” of a' poor villager. She enters, soublless in the hope of securing a hid, and while prowling about inside looks into a hut where a woman and infant are soundly sleeping. Ina moment she has pounced on the child, and is out of reach before its cries can attract the villagers. Arriving safely at her den under therocks she drops thelittle oneamong her cubs. At this critical time the fate of thechild hangs in the balance, Either it will be immedi- ately torn to pieces and devoured, or in a most wonderful way remain in the cave unharmed. In the event of escape the fact may be accounted for in several ways, Perbaps the cubs are already gorged when the child is thrown before them, or are being supplied with solid food before their carnivorous instinct isawakened; so they amuse’ themselves by simply licking the sleek, oily body (Hindoo niothers daily rab their boy habies with some native vegetable oil) of the infant, und thus it lies in the nest. by degrees getting the odor of the wolf cubs, after’ which the mother wolf wiil not molest it. In a little time the infant begins to feel the pangs of hunger, and, hearing the cubs sucking, soon foliows their example. Now, the adoption is comylete, all fear of harm to the ckild from wolves has gone, and the foster-mother will guard and protect it as though it were of her own flesh and blood. Children recovered from wolves at differ- ent times have been identified by their parents through birthmarks and other means. T have never heard or read of a girl wolf child having been found. The reason for this may be that they have soon broken down under the strain_of so_terri- ble an existence and have perished in the jungle, where the stronger male child has | survived. Their mode of progression is on all fours—not, as a rule, on the hands and | feet, but on the knees and eibows. The reason the knees are used is to be ac- counted for by the fact that, owing to the great length of the human leg and thigh in proportion to the length of the arm, the knee would naturally be brought to the | ground, and the instep and top of the toes would be used, instead of the sole and heel of the almost inflexible foot. elbow should be employed instead of the hand is less easy to understand, but prob- ably it is better'suited to give support to the head and fore part of the body. Some of these poor waifs have been re- covered after spending ten or more years in the fellowship of wolves, and, though wild and savage at first, have in time be- come tractable in some degree. They are rarely seen to stand upright unless to look around, and they gnaw bonesin the man- ner of a dog, holding one end between the forearms and hands, while enarling and snapping at anybody who approaches too near. The wolf child has little except its outward form to show that it isa human being without a soul. Itisa fearful and terrible thing, and hard to understand, that the mere fact of a child’s complete isolation from its own kind should bring it to such a state of absolutedegradation. Of course they speak no language, though some in time have learned to make known their wants by a few signs.—Badminton Magazine. ——————— A (OHAPTER ON PASTES. The Best Way to Make Them for Dif- ferent Purposes. The following are some useful recipes for making vastes of various. kinds: Paper to wood—Gum arabic, 24 ounce: powdered gum tragacanth, !4 ounce; water, 1}4 ounces; acetic acid, 20 drops. If the paper is good this paste will not stain it, Give it ome or two coats gum arabic as a varnish. Perpetual paste, or paste that will keep several months, is made by dissolving a teaspoonful of alum in a quart of warm water. When cold, stir in flour to give itthe consistence of cream, beating out all the lumps. Then stir in as. much powdered rosin as will lie on a dime. Have on the fire a teakettle of boiling water. Pour the boiling water on the mixture, and stir con- stantly until it assumes the consistence of molasses. This will occur in a few min- utes. Pour out into an earthen vessel to cool, then cover and put in a cool place. ‘When needed take a portion and dilute with warm water. Paste for Scrap Book.—Equal quantities, say a small lump of each, of glue and alum are dissolved in water. Beat up with flour until the mass is incorporated to- gether and guite smooth, then add boiling water and stir well. This will keep a long while in a cool place. : Postage Stamp Paste.—The paste or mucilage used by our Government for gumming postage stamps is made as fol- lows: Two parts gum dextrine, one part acetic acid and five parts water are added together and put into a water bath, dis- solving the gum, after which one part alcohol is added. ' English postage stamps are gummed with a potato-starch paste. Ordinary Starch or Flour Paste.—It is best to prepare paste by triturating the starch or flour with cold water until no lumps remain, and not too thick a mass is formed, and pouring into this boiling water very slowly, with rapid stirring, until the paste begins to form, as indicated by the increaseof transparency, and then rapidly adding the rest of the water (boil- ing) necessary for the paste. Boiling the paste is very in‘];nrious. rendering it less adhesive and liable to peel off. Rye flour givesa more adhesive paste than starch or wheat flour, but it is too strong or hard to spread for paper hanging; it is of a gray color also. The addition of a little alum to the water with which the paste is prepared renders it more permanent, and the use of boiling lime water instead of pure soft water adds to its adhesiveness. An aqueous extract of decomposed gluten, however, affords the best paste with starch. By incorporating with the paste a quan- tity of turpentine equal in weight to half of the starch employed, and stirring while the paste is still not, it will be rendered more impervious to moisture, and at the same time more adhesive. A paste, very brilliant and adhesive, and said to be superior to gum arabic, may be made by dissolving caseine (pre- cipitated from milk by acetic acid, and washed with pure water) in & saturated so- lution of borax. A label gum that only requires moisten- ing with saliva to affix to objects is made from eleven parts (by weight) of good glue, previously soaked in cold water until soft; seven parts gum arabic and a little rock candy, in fifty-six parts of water, sub- jected to a_gentle heat, with continued stirring until the mass is uniform. There are several substances useful for addirng to paste to keep it sweet. Among these may be found essence of winter- green, hydronapthol (dissolved in a listl alcohol), oil of cloves, oil of sassafrass and carbolic acid. Alum also helps to keep it, besides hardening or stiffening it. Oil of pennyroyal added will keep the flies away. Two grains of hydronapthol is sufficient for each pint of Easte. The oil essences may be objectionable sometimes, being liable to grease delicate paper, but | they give an agreeable perfume and keep | the paste from souring. Glutol added to common paste givesa fine, strong paste that keeps well and is much used” by ;:p«r-hnngeru in this man- ner.—Western Painter. S R NAPOLEON'S ITALIAN AOOENT. He Pronounced His Own Name ‘Na- poiglione.”” Among the recent historians of the Na- poleonic legend none has been more pains- taking than Freaeric Masson. A new work by this author, “Napoleon Inconnu” (the Unknown Napoleon), consists of two Leavy volumes, in which the first twenty- four years of the Corsican’s life (from 1769 to 1743) pass beaeath M. Masson’s micro- scope. M. Masson says that Napolean was not a bright scholor, one resson for this being that he was so ignorant of French. Even his own name he pronounced with such an Italian accent, “‘Nazpoiglione,” that his comrades nicknamed him “La paille au nez,” which French phrase has much the same sound and means, freely translated, “‘straw nose.” “It has been a;Eued by Napoleon’s de- tractors,”” says M. Maston, “that he had no love of country; that he was not a| Frenchman in spirit. It is hard to sec how he could have been. Imagine a child born in Alsace or Lorraine in 1771, rudely taken in 1780 and_placed in a Prussian military school, educated at the expense of the Emperor of Germany, and destined to wear a sword as a German officer, not because he had chosen that particular pro- fession, but because it was the only one which was open to him. Imagine such a child surrounded only by Prussian youths —children of these who haa conquered his country and abolished its independence after huviu‘f massacreed his compatriots and ravaged their fields. “*Could it be possible that such a boy Why the | he was forced to wear? * * * Corsica is a small country, but, whether one’s native land be little or great, love of it shounld fill the heart. Lacedwmon, which was a vil- lage, was the spot on earth which Leoni- das loved the best, and he could not have revered it more had it been of vast extent, like Russia or America. If matters not whether ‘la patrie’ be great or rich or vowerful so long as it is ‘la patrie,” and the love of it grows warm in the breast of its sons.” ———— A Lawyer's Excus At the close of the “Right to carry arms” case before the Supreme Court March 30, Lawyer Gargan apologized to the court for the rather lame manner in which he had presented his side of this important case. He said that the lawyers of to- day, in order to make a living, could not afford to spend days, weeks and month in the preparation of a single case, but were obliged to flit from flower to flower, suck- ing honey wherever they could find it. All five justices of the court smiled, for they knew that such was the fact.—Boston Traveler. NEW TO-DAY. A APPEAL FOR AD, Thousands In the Throes of Tobacco Torture. | | Only Prompt, Decisive Actlon Can Save Them—Some Already Saved Prove | That There 1s a Way. Are these the days of freedom? Is ever{bod! out of bom‘l.fe Would that we eould answer, “Yes! Every- body’s free.” But, in fact, at the end of this enlightened century there are hun- dredsof thousands, yes, millions, of men in'the clutches’ of & tyrant worse than any in his- tory, unable to fight their way to liberty, impotent to break their )\ fetters. When once the to- bacco habit gets its gripon & man it destroys his nerve and will power and robs him of his only means of defense. His life is sapped out of him, his manhood destroyed, his brain deadened, until he becomnes a ‘sallow, skinny, listless wreck of & man, his existence a livin death, and himself an object of disgust instead of love and affection to those who are dear to | him.
