' THE WAYCROSS HERALD, SATURDAY, MARCH 4, 1893. ▲ Protestant on OotollL Archbishop Satolli'a most important errand has been to settle the heated con troversies raging about the school ques tion. He has communicated to the Cath olic archbishops an eminently wise and reasonable pronnnciamento. It distinct ly acknowledges the educational func tions of the state and approves the Amer ican public schools. In practical effect this letter makes it permissible for Cath olic parents to act upon their own judg ment in selecting schools for their chil dren. It merely insists that the parents and priests should see tha^ Catholic chil dren have regular religious instruction outride of school hours if they attend public schools. The “Faribault plan” is fully sanctioned as an alternative. In cases where parochial schools of as good qnality as the public schools can be af forded, and where local circumstances make it appear that the public schools are anti-Catbolic in tbeir influence and teaching, the separate system is advised. The archbishop has spoken with full authority. It is a great victory for Arch bishop Ireland and the patriotic Ameri can wing of the church. Pope Leo and his advisers have evidently mastered the real situation in the United States. The holy see has intervened in favor of American Catholic parents, who can no longer be restrained from sending their children to the public schools. The Catholic clrarch will be stronger by far when, in the spirit A Common Word Jut Xow. How do you pronounce the name of the island kingdom which wants to be annexed to the United States?” is a ques tion frequently propounded and various ly answered nowadays. The most com monly accepted pronunciation, and the one authorized by Lippincott's, Worces ter's, Webster's and the Century dic tionaries, is, for the name of the princi pal island of the group, “Hah-wi-e,” the second syllable accented, and the **i” pronounced as in “pine.” The same ques tion was once asked of a high caste Ha waiian lady, well educated in her own and the English language. She answered: “The proper pronunciation is Hnh- vah-e-e. There is no ‘w’ in^ur alpha bet, and no letter nor combination of letters which take the sound of ‘w* as English.

Cremation In Thin Country. It is not every day that there are five cases of cremation at Fresh Pond, but the bodies of four men and one woman were reduced to ashes in the furnace there on Tuesday. The revival of the ancient practice of cremation in our times is a curious thing. We have not yet seen the last year's reports of the several crematories in the country, but we believe that over 100 dead jiersons were consumed in them during the year. Nearly all of these persons, with the j exception of the victims of cholera, j who were cremated in our bay last I autumn, had left order* or lia express- j «d a desire that *the;r ^ lies s hould be ! thus disposed of. The most of tlmm had J been agnostic s or atheists, and a few of ! them Theosophists. It is not to bo sup- j posed that my of them, leaving ont the I cholera stricken, had been believers in J the doctrine of the resurrection of the j body at the day of judgment, though of j course cremation could not interfere with any design of the Almighty. We know of two crematories in Eng land, and there are others in several of the countries of continental Europe. Should the cholera break out in England this year it is probable that a number of the municipalities will, in accordance with advice given by tlieir health au thorities, follow the example set by the New York quarantine commission last autumn and cremate the victims of - the dreaded and infections disease.—New York Sun. President Harriiton's Plan*. It is the present intention of President Harrison to leave Washington for his home in Indianapolis very shortly after the inauguration of President Cleveland. The oath of office is administered to the president at the capitol at noon, after which the new chief executive delivers his inaugural address from the cast front of the capitol building. General Harri son intends to leave Washington on the Pennsylvania limited express, which de parts at 1:10 p. m., and to stopover Sun day at Pittsburg, where he will be due about 9 o'clock Saturday night. He will arrive at Indianapolis about noon on March G. He may change this pro gramme, but he does not expect to do so at ’this time, barring accident. It was the original intention of Presi dent Harrison upon his retirement from office to finger in Washington over Sun day and to arrive at Indianapolis during the early part of the succeeding week. But he is anxious to return to his old home now that he sees the beginning of the end, and having nothing of particu lar interest to detain him here he has determined to take his leave of the na tional capital within an hour or two after the inauguration of his successor.—Cor.

The slow machinery of the English government has just turned out the re port of vital statistics in 1891. It ap pears that the steady decline in the num ber of early marriages which began in 1874*8till continues. In the latter year 84 in 1,000 bridegrooms and 227 in 1,000 brides were under 21. In 1891 only 5® men and 190 women in 1,000 married un der age. The odd fact also appears that the proportion of Jews in the population of England has more than doubled in 20 years, without counting immigration. This extraordinary fecundity is quite un matched by any other class in the pop ulation.—Charleston News and Courier. A Knife on Its Travels. A huge knife, said to be oyer 100 years old and resembling an ancient hay cut ter, was presented to the postmaster at Bangor, Me., just after the election. It was labeled “Adlai's Ax.” Across the blade in black letters were the words, “The melancholy days have come.” This was a grim joke ter, play on a Republican postmaster, but he concluded to make the best of it. He tagged it and started it on a journey acrosstbe continent. At last accounts it was at Marquette, Mich., ’all covered with tags and the comments each messenger had added as the Dem ocratic guillotine passed oVer liis route. —Exchange. Scientific journals in England speak approvingly of a new method of manu facturing caustic soda, chlorine and other chemical products directly from sea water with the aid of electricity.

How difficult it is in winter to keep one's feet even presentable in appear ance! Sidewalks are sloppy, crosswalks are muddy, and the air is so cold that it hardens shoe leather until it is no unusual thing for it to crack and become sorry to look upon. Nothing can be done actu ally to prevent the season from telling upon the wearing qualities of shoes, but a great deal can be done to prevent them from becoming so badly injured as they might otherwise be. When shoes have become very muddy, the worst of the mud should be knocked off with a thin strip of hard wood, which should he kept for the purpose. A very stiff brush will then take off tire rest of the dirt. Now, apply a dressing made by mixing 2 drams of spermaceti oil, i pint of vinegar, 3 ounces of treacle and 4 ounces of finely powdered ivory black. Tlio vinegar should be added last. This will make the shoes look almost as well as they did before their rough treatment. —New York World. DR. J. E. W. SMITH, Office Reed’s Block. :30 o’clock. His Honor A. 31.

The Australian ballot system, while a good reform in the main, has several features which need amending before it can be accepted as an almost perfect and honest mode of voting. As it now stands, thousands of voters have been disfran chised by tlw* misapprehension of not be ing allowed to stamp opposite a candi date’s name after having once stamped the party emblem. Let there be but one way of voting, by stamping the square by the side of each person that you wish to vote for. A voter once instructed to stamp the square to the left of each per son that he wished to vote for will not only not confuse, hut actually expedite voting. Another feature of the law which should be changed is the ease with which a partisan board can throw ont ballots as defective. As protection in the right of voting is secrecy, so should the ballot be protected after it is cast, so long as the intent of the voter can be as certained.—Noblesville Ledger.
