Indeed, he seemed never to remove except when he wanted a red handkerchief from the In terior. In texture hla clothes are described as resembling that worn by pilots; his trousers were short, and he always wore low shoes and gray stockings. He generally wore a stand-up collar, with a black silk cart carelessly tied In a bow, and his White shirt front was unstarched, and did i-not suggest recent acquaintance with the Ironing board.

Nor Is It strange thst he should feel the burden of the misfortunes that oppress hla church. He regsrds them as peraecutlons. It will take more than one or two papal reigns to teach the leeaon that the tem poral rule of Rome must belong to the Italian nation and not to the Roman church. After another pope or two there will be peace between the qulrinal and the Vatican and that by the submission of the Vatican to the loss of Its temporal power, but It Is too soon now. France is not yet reconciled to the loss ot Alsace and Lor raine, but It Is getting reconciled; and the Vatican will. In time, get reconciled; and will feel the better and work the better and be In a more logical position, not to say more Christian. The pope may well lament the evils that afflict the church. It would seem as If every Catholic government on the earth was hostile and every Protestant govern ment was friendly. That Is because In Protestant countries the Catholic church' la not established; It Is free. But In Cath olic countries there Is constant friction be tween church and stste. It Is so In Italy, In Prance, In Spain, In Portugal and In the Latin American states. Socialism Is grow ing and socialism is opposed to establish ments and so to the Catholic church as a part of the machinery of the state. So the pope finds socialism a great danger, lead ing to anirchlsm. In view of this great evil which he sees and doubtless exaggerates, the growth of socialism, developing, he thinks. Into an archy and atheism, the pope utters the most remarkable portion of his testament. It Is an utterance to which we would give full attention and all possible respect. He Invokes the union of Christian bodies aa the leading remedy to save society from the violent attacks of anarchism and atheism. We regret that we have not yet the full text of this portion of his encyclical, but If the cable dispatches fslrly express Its language, holds out a help ing hand, and asks a helping hand from those Christian bodies which are not In communion with the Roman church, with those who are often called courteoualy, "our separated brethren." For brethren. In a sense, the Roman church holds the rest of us Christians to be. We have been baptized, and there fore Christians. Yet It Is a remarkable thing that there should be this recognition of Protesant and Greek Christians for we suppose this is what his language allows as allies, not foes. It Is no bad service that the general enemy, the atheists, have done. If they force the mutual kindly recognition of Christian bodies so widely separated, and which have refused, and still refuse too often, to acknowledge each other aa churches, however, they may admit that those outside their pale are, or may be perhaps, Christians. It Is not five years ago that the pope solemnly pronounced that the orders of Asphalt Trust Waterlogged The report of the Audit company ot New York on the condition and earnings ot the Anhit company of America, which col lapsed a few weeks sgo, was presented to ths investigating committee appointed by iUv holders at tne gold certificates of the company in Philadelphia last week. It was decidedly unfavorable, and came as a bombshell to tne certincate noiaers. Some features of the report, culled from the Philadelphia Ledger, will interest people la the west. With authorized capitalization aggregat ing $58,000,000, with fixed charges of $2,- 150,000 a year, the actual net earnings of the compsnles for the last two years have been less than $700,000, or an average of $350,000 a year. The condition Is In part explained by the statement that extraordi nary expenses have been met in Venezuela and that one ot the underlying companies. the National Contracting company, has maed heavy losses, but even with the ex planation the report shows a condition of affairs that was unexpected except by very few persons. In a statement accompanying the audit report the investigating committee says: "The committee has this day received a report from the Audit company of New York of the reault of aa examination of the account of the American Asphalt com pany and of the National Asphalt company for the years 1900 and 1901. "This report Is very voluminous, cover ing ths operations of some sixty out standing companies, which constitutes the basis for the consolidation of the entire asphalt business, under which all the present securities and stocks were Issued. "Some of these companies made large profits, others made large losses. "During this period the asphalt com pany was obliged to spend an unusual sum of money in defending its property in Venezuela, aad it also suffered extraordi nary losses In the operation of certain subsidiary companies engaged in engineer ing, contracting and other work not con nected In any essential way with the busi ness of selling asphalt or of laying asphalt on the slightest provocation, while writing, or even when dining out in compay, ha usually fell asleep at the dinner table; this occurrence Indeed waa so common with him thst the guests usually only noticed It with a smile. After a nap of some ten minutes, he would open his eyes and take part In the conversation, apparently unconscious of having been asleep. Woaifi Writers at Mark. George Eliot always dressed with great care before sitting down at her desk. Han nah Moors was fond of sea green silk and most of her tales were written with the authoress garbed in a gown ot this hue. George Sand, when writing wore "pretty yellow slippers, smart stockings and red pantaloons." What Francis Hodgson Burnett Town send illustrates in her heroines as to clothes and surroundings she practices oa herself. Few writers perbsps have spent more on their gowns and tew are more sen sitive to their environments; it Is Impos sible for her to write at ease, whether at home or on shipboard, unless surrounded by an atmosphere of refined luxury. A story Is told that Mr. Edmund Russell, ot Del sarte memory, was once consulted by the author of "That Lass o' Lowrles" regarding a certain gown. The material chosen was of large figured brocade, which on her short person did not promise results that were alluring. "Which is the right side of this fabric V asked Mr. Russell. "This." said the novelist. Indicating it to him. "You are mistaken madam," rejoined Mr. Rus sell. "That side is prose, the other la poetry." His hint or suggestion, however, was not heeded and the dress was made up with its right side turned outward to the world. Amelle Rives, in the first days of her fame, studied her glass carefully and spent jsauca thought, time aod money ea her Testament the Anglican church are not valid, and that It Is therefore no true church. It was a decision shsrply resented by those whom it unchurched and consigned to schism. We do not suppose there Is the slightest' hope that this decision will be reversed, or that any action or utterance will offer to rehabilitate Anglican Prot estants, Greeks or Armenians, on the ec clesiastical side; that Is not the way that hsrmonlouB relations begin. It Is aa Christians, not aa organised churches; that recognition must Drat be asked: and we may assume that In bis encyclical the pope has summoned Christians and Chris tian organizations to united defense, with out committing himself to the recognition of any churches, as such, outside of the Roman communion. But of more Importance to us Is our right attitude toward such an outstretched hsnd. How far can we make the Roman Catholic church our ally In the warfare against evil and unbelief? The general Protestant attitude has, un til late years, been one of positive hos tility. The bloody persecutions by one side or the other, in the days ot Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth, have not been allowed to pass Into oblivion. It Is only fifty years since a great political party whose platform was antl-Romanlsm swept half our states. The American Protective association has only within ten years ceased to be a power. But now there is hardly a remnant of this bitterness In Protestant circles in the country; nothing like the bit terness that exists, for example, in Franca or Italy. The explanation Is most creditable to the Catholic church. Apart from the very favorable conditions we mean the utter separation of church and state the chfet force which has led to the ' kindlier at titude of Protestants toward Catholics has been the close views of their good Chris tian character. The Catholics have been right in our families, maids and men. They have been faithful to their church while faithful to their work. It was easy to see that the Influence of their church upon them was wholly good. Their priests have been faithful and useful In their place, using more authority than we had been used to, but using It generally for good ends, for morality and religion. Their priests have had the respect ot their neighbors, ministers of Protestant churches. They have been loyal citizens, and friends of temperance and all good order. And the second generation have made good Ameri can citizens. And we have seen very little of the su perstitions, the utter fetishism, which we know has elsewhere been allowed in the Ignorant classes, and none of Immorality we have beard of. On the other hand, we have seemed to see a rivalry with our churches to surpass them In churchly service, and apparent desire to empha size those things that belong to the es sentials ot Christianity, so that we have seen our best and most active Catholics, those of greatest influence and highest pavements. The results of the earnings of the combined companies for the two years, as will be shown by the figures given, are so entirely unsatisfactory and are so meager in comparison with the basis of capitalization of the American and Na tional companies, thst the committee will continue to press its Investigations, which is meant to be thorough in all respects, as to the causes and reasons for such appar ent overcapitalisation." The figures for the two years, as given in the committee's statement, are: "Net earnings for the year ending De cember 81, 1900, from sales of asphalt and asphalt paving, only $486,340.35. "Net earnings for the year 1901, $908, 626.92. "From which should be deducted $400,000, representing the extraordinary expenses in Venezuela and also certain further large losses In the operation of the contracting companies in engineering work above re ferred to, leaving the actual net results for the year 1900 $326,748.82, and for 1901 $371, 427.26." The statement continues: "It should be noted that In arriving at this result a very ample allowance has been made for a maintenance fund, and also for depreciation charges, which the Audit com pany reports were not duly considered In the public statements by the company for the year 1900." In conclusion the atatement says: "The committee will continue, and as promptly as possible complete its Investiga tion into the promotion, organization and operation of these companies, and will re port fully to the certificate holders the re sult of this work, as also its recommenda tion concerning a plan of reorganization, which the committee is advised is now in process of formulation." "The discrepancy between the figures now made public and those first given out as the earnings tor 1900." says the Ledger, "Is so wide as to occasion much surprise that the first figures should ever have been made public, and alao conjecture as to how they could be arrived at. It waa stated yester gowns, which were La Tosca in design or directolr or empire by turns. She could write most at her ease when clothed In a certain pale rose-colored gown with a Persian sash. India silk peignoirs and Worth gowns galore were seen In her ward robe. Her Instructions were usually wound up with the admonition "make me lcok as slim as possible." Her gowns were stun ning, they amazed Newport and wrought confusion to the fashion writers, when Amelle Rives was the sensation of the hour. Her clothes are also affairs of prime Im portance to "Oulda." She alwaya dresses with elaborate care and usually in rather fantastic fashion, being able to compose In more glowing style if attired In draperies like unto those with which she clothes her heroines. Three Spitz dogs are her con stant companions, even when she is writing. The presence of animals Is a source of In spiration to other writers Francola Cop pee among the number, also Gantier.

Indeed, while ws have been growing kindlier to ward Catholics, and have been making more of the festivals ot the Catholic church, it seems as If Catholics were be coming more like us In preaching and practice. Of course, then, the Presbyterian church Is compelled to repeal the article ot its confession ot faith which declares that the pope of Rome Is anti-Christ. And Protestants have no right to deny that the Church of Rome Is a true church. It worships the same one God as the rest of us and It holds to the same Savior. It declares that its worship of the virgin and the saints Is of a different kind from its worship ot the Triune God. We see the danger of such worship, but we see that they make less of saints than they used to and that they make more ot the dis tinction. To our view It Is very foolish to ask a saint to Intercede with God when we can go directly to Him, and there is danger of Idolatry, but it Is not unchristian any more than It is for a Protestant Inquirer to ask his living friends to pray for him. The doc trine of purgatory seems to us unscrlp tural, but it Is certainly not unchristian. Even we are beginning to think that we have taught more about the future world than we know. The practice of confession seems to us to be required when It should be only permitted, but It cannot be un christian, and It baa its good side. The supremacy of the pope seems to us a dan gerous doctrine, but one can certainly be a good Christian and be a pope or a be liever In popes. Our chief complaint of the Catholic church is that it makes so much of rites and machinery that It Is lia ble to forget that God Is a spirit and that spiritual worship is what He wants. But somehow there Is enough essential religion taught to bear up all the froth ot form, and It is our duty to expect that what we call the excrescences of faith will be less and less emphasized, that the useless or hurtful accretions will gradually fall oft by the process of desuetude. We must look always for the good and not what we think the bad, and be more ready to praise than to blame. So we are grateful to the pope If he has asked our aid in the warfare against all vice and wrong. His purpose to bring peace to the world, to reduce armaments and war, is ours also. We would have Catholics and Protestants brought Into closer relations. It is a delight to us to see their crowded churches which are doing God's work. If not quite In our way. The only influence we can see that Is opposed to the invitation of the pope for fellowship of kindly service Is that which seeks to have the church meddle with the state In the public schools. He Is a foe to the Cath olic church, a foe to Its peaceful and mighty growth, who. seeks to have the church teach Its religion In the public schools. The Catholic church Is now doing well un der a system which it approves and to attempt to change It would be like kicking a hornet's nest. What the In. vestiratM Re vealed. day that in making up the figures for the first of the two years, the asphalt officials failed to allow for a guarantee fund and tor the extraordinary expenses named, "It was stated that the Audit company is of the opinion that while the extraordinary expenditures in Venezuela, from the point of view of the earning capacity of the com panies, were not properly chargeable to the year 1901, in which they were incurred, still a certain proportion of these expenses should be deducted from the profits of that year and of each year. "The Audit company held that for this unusual expense $50,000 should be allowed out of the profits for each year. "It is thought probable that the affairs of the National Contracting company, whose losses In three years on sewer and other work in New Orleans and elsewhere amounted to about $500,000, will be wound up. Some of the members of the com mittee hold the opinion that the companies, when organized, should confine themselves to asphalt and not carry on a business so widely different as that of the National Contracting company. "It Is stated on excellent authority that an investigation into the overcaDltallza tlon la already being made by the receiv ers. The fact that the committee feels it Incumbent upon itself to go to the bottom of the matter and that the receivers also will doubtless make a thorough investiga tion, renders It almost a certainty that the facts regarding the Inception and formation of the companies will be laid bare. The members of the committee feel that the report as to the reault of the operations ot the companies must be very disappoint ing to the security holders. "A plan of reorganization is now pretty well determined upon. The matter has beeen under discussion for some time, and while, In a general way, it baa been out lined, the members have lteld that noth ing definite could be done until the earn ing power ot the properties 'should be known. Now that that knowledge Is In tha hands of the committee, the question of reorganization will be discussed In a defi nite way." firBt day of a preliminary course at the village school) Fighting with Billy Brown.

There is a crying need for sturdy mothers and active women who make themselves felt in the home and out of it. Women should really prepare themselves to undertake life's responsibili ties. It is not strange that sickness is so common among women. The laborious duties of the housewife, coupled with the care of young children, are too much for the average woman whose delicately poised organs are easily upset. And women's natural modesty keeps them from com plaining about matters connected with the organs of generation. They will not tell ths story of their suffering to a doctor and they abhor local examinations and surgical operations. In this way thousands and thousands of women become invalids and the woman who is healthy and fit for every duty is hard to find. If every woman knew that Wine .of Cardui invariably re lieves female weakness when taken as di rected there would be fewer sufferers. But all women do not yet realize that suffering female weakness is totally unnecessary when Wine of Cardui can be secured. The relief of over 1,000,000 suffering women by Wine of Cardui proves this statement. WINE OF CARDUI A T SHRUBS FLOWERS i ' W M H Price ale your rooms nnl come tint! values.
