land of the present church trouble In
France.
As to Germany, now passing through the i
thraM nf a war wirh the socialists and an
exciting election. It would appear ai )
though there ia no one In Rome, with the
exception of Mgr. Oaspart, who knows any
thing about the affairs of (Jet-many. Pope
Leo XIII had been nuncio at Vienna,
which Is. next to RL Petersburg, perhaps
the beat training school for diplomats in
the world, and he knew German and Ger
man affairs. But Plus X krrbws no foreign
language, not even the diplomatic lan
guage of the world the, French. For this
reason ha la almost a child in matters dip
lomatic. Tha days of Herr Wlndthorst are
gone. Even the papal nuncio at Munich
ia politically a aero.
BIG RAILWAY SYSTEM
(Continued from First Page.)
Its receipts are enormous. It also pos
sesses printing presses and haa been re
sponsible for the translation and the cir
culation of the Catholic Bible In all coun
tries anall lands.
Cardinal Gottl. the prefect of the propa
ganda, haa ust celebrated his jubilee.
Among the Innumerable glfta which reached
him from the ends of the earth the one
which touched him the most was the album
Bent Jilm by the Society of Dock Laborers
of Genoa In memory of his father, who
was himself a dock laborer and one of the
founders of the Dockers' union.
Iatrlgaes of Rations.
The chief cause of the lack of dtplomatlo
fact, to phrase It mildly, lt connection
with tha handling of the detatla In connec
tion with somo of the International ques
tions, would appear to be the misunder
standings which have made it almost. If
not quite. Impossible for Cardinal Gottl
and Cardinal Rampolla to do much toward
straightening out these international com
plication.. It is not fair to say that Plus
X la to be blamed for thla; It is not fair
to say that the cardinals themselves are
to be blamed, Perhaps the fault lies to a
largo extent in the Intrigues ' which are
still going on among the different nations
themselves. It would appear to be a mis
fortune that Cardinal Gottl'a Influence can
not make Itself felt In the counsels of the
Vatican. He Is accused of being too Ger
man by France, while Cardinal Rampolla
Is accused of being too French by Ger
many. The result of all this la that these
two men, perhaps the brainiest among the
college of cardinals, have bost lost a grasp
on the situation. If the cardinals of any
country may be said to have an Influence
It la the cardinals of Bpatn. And yet so
little diplomacy haa been manifested n
dealing with the detailed affair' of the
church In Bpalav that, with a monarch per
haps the most Catholic of all of the rulers
of Europe, even In Spain there Is a fer
ment which may lead to a repetition In that
Catarrh of the Stomach
and the determination of the point of de
marcation between the railway line to the
northwest, which Russia retain and the
section, which it has consented to allow
China to redeem and band over to Japan.
It waa decided at Portsmouth that the
city of Kwan-chen-tso should serve aa the
point of demarcation between the two lines
and that Japan might construct a line to
Klrln, either from Kwan-chen-tse or any
other atatlon that might be In Its posses
sion. Improvements In China.
Meanwhile Improvements In China go for
ward with remarkable rapidity. The thing
that haa caused the most excitement In Pek
ing for a month Is the opening to the new
bridge to accommodate the Peking tram-
cars. Peking already ha considerable of a
tramway aervlce, but now that the bridge
haa been opened negotiation have been
completed for the extension of this tram
way service. A new line is about. to be
constructed through the French concession
on the Bund to the Japanese concession,
and the rails will eventually be carried as
far as Tien Tsln If terms can be arranged
with the British, German and Russian
municipalities.
According to Information received here
the Importance of Dr. Von J-e Coq's dis
coveries In northwestern Turkestan, waa un
derestimated In the first of the reports re
ceived. This German expedition waa at
Turfen, about flrty-two degrees, latitude,
for seven months, during the first three of
which Its work was In vain. Then Partus,
the assistant stumbled upon veritable
treasure trove. There were great finds of
manuscripts. This must have been the
very meeting plaoe of nations and tongues.
Where most of the others lived together
In peace the enemy, the ruthless destroyer
(In addition to the desert sand) would seem
to have been Confucian China. Some terri
ble things were found, for example the
packed bodies, still clad of Buddhist monks,
who had been driven into certain temples
and stifled there as in a black hole more
than a thousand years ago. These Chinese
conquerors had a furious seat against Bud
dhism. The wall paintings on plaster, re
moved by the German expedition had often
to be skilfully hardened out by Burtus be
fore they could be cut away. They most
frequently represent Buddha. This art la
thought to prove the missing stepping
atone by whloh Indian art advanced across
Asia to Japan. i

Catarrh, of Ui stomach ha long been
considered the next thing to Incurable.
The usual symptoms are full of bloating-
aonsation after eating, accompanied
sometimes with sour or watery risings, a
formation cf gases, causing pressure on
tha heart and lungs and difficult breath
ing, headache, fickle appetite, nervous
ness and a general played-out, languid
feeling.
There Is often a foul taste In the
mouth, coated tongue, and If the Interior
of the stomach could be seen It would
ahow a slimy. Inflamed condition.
The cure for thla common and obstl
nat trouble Is found In a treatment which
causes the food to be readily, thoroughly
digested before It has time to ferment
and Irritate the delicate mucous surfaces
of the stomach. To secure a prompt and
healthy digestion la tb one necessary
thing to do and when normal digestion Is
secured the catharrhal condition wt.l
have disappeared.
According to Dr. Harlanson, tha safest
and best treatment Is to use after each
meal a tablet, composed fit Diastase, Asep.
tic Pepsin, a little Nux, Oolden Seal ami
fruit acids. These tablets can be found
at all ' drug store under the name of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and not bolng

fect safety and assurance that healthy
appetite and thorough dlgentlon will fol
low their regular use after meals.

whereby the lining membrane of the nose

charge therefrom passing backward Into

It gives such a coiy, homey air to our sitting room.
Just think, we have been back a whole month but one
Jet of gas Is still Quite sufficient for us. I think of you every
time I look at the portable, dear (but John better not let me
hear him say any such thing). He Joins me, however. In send
ing very best Wishes and many thanks. Lovingly yours,
ANNIE.
