the parochial school system and its [..urrful aids, church academies and co'Jppi's. From early childhood to manhA*i anil womanhood the children of well-to-do Catholics are kept under the fired supervision of tcachers who have ctroteil their lives to the church. IIowiter perfect the curriculum, the one ted in view is the religious training of Tounp men and women.

From time to time complaints were I heard that, although very efficient in aany ways, the parochial schools and ifadomios connected with Catholic parishes (liil not fit their scholars for active ttsincss life. I^ie criticism was taken sj bv the leading educators of the tiurch ami found to be based on facts.

How to remedy the defect became at tacc an important problem which was rvadily solved by Urother Adjutor, umber of the order of Christian ItrothI srs a French organization founded three tanilml years ago by .lean Huptiste de liSallt'. lb-other Adjutor at that time

Bd charge of the academy eonneeted iritha prosperous Chicago parish. His -vjvrj'ii/r had suggested to him the adusability of making his pupils familiar Tith business principles: and with the c-inscnt of bis superiors he at once es•j'olisheii classes in shorthand, boolcke^pitifr and telegraphy. The innovation proved a suece.ss from the start, and Urother Adjutor, who. by the way, i-a native of Wicklow, Ireland, forty!TO years of age, and one of the most wpular representatives of his church ii the west, conceived the idea of establishing an institution on a large I scale devoted to giving a business cdutation to young men irrespective of I nee or religion.

He laid his plans before Archbishop F»ehan and other influential Catholics. They responded liberally to his requests I for assistance and in a few weeks the tnterprising brother had raised sufficient aoney to purchase a fine piece of real

Kate, located at the corner of Wabash frtme and Tliirty-flftli street, on which Vi erect an educational institute to be um«l after the. founder of the order of Thith he is an honored member.

A few months later the foundation I fione of the institute was laid by Arcli1 bishop Feehan in the presence of thirty thousand Catholics, and now the builda large structure with a frontage ninety-six feet on Wabash avenue,

is ready for occupancy. The first floor "the institute, with the exception of suite of class-rooms is to be devoted the entertainment of guests. The -®°nt contains a dining-room to bo Kd by the officers of the school, a well-

the premises. The class-rooms are ^only-four in number, and arranged "r twenty-five pupils each, making the Opacity of the school 000. Each class-

,nwn

faces the south and has numerous Endows to admit the sunlight. On the '"ft'1

s'le

of the school-rooms is a cor-

twelve feet wide in which are P-aeod the heating radiators. The space J11 the upper floor corresponding to that peel |,y tin. class-rooms on the floors be1w is arranged into a hall capable of twelve hundred persons and pro-

I^ed with a stage of fair dimensions. I The |. npper stories of that portion of the IJ''"ling devoted to the officers of the I are divided into dormitories and I ,ing-rooms. A feature of the I nicture is the plumbing, and the linger of sewer gas is obviated by an Ijoidance of direct connection with th» |*wer pipes.

Brother Adjutor who has carefully watched the financial end of his pet enterprise estimates that the institute haa cost fully 811.1,000 which, with the cost of the lot, S'25,000, brings the expenditure up to $140,'000. lie has not sufllcient money on hand now to pay for the college, but thinks that when the school will be formally opened next SeptcmVeE

in its construction will remain unpaid. Inasmuch as Cardinal Gibbons lias expressed a willingness to conduct the dedicatory exercises in person, there seems to be no doubt that sufficient influencc will be exerted in high places to make good the Chicago brother's prediction.

Should the l.a Salle institute prove as successful as its promoters anticipate, the Catholic church will unquestionably establish similar schools in every city in the United States and that is what makes this enterprise one. of national interest. Secular educators with whom the writer lias discussed the prospects of the venture are of the opinion that business colleges conducted under religious auspices are perfectly legitimate and that the various Protestant denominations should follow the example of llrot her Adjutor. The Catholic church, they argue, attracts young women everywhere by giving them a practical household education, and it will certainly do the same with young men if it should think best to provide them with a business training.

The Young Men's Christian association has for a long time realized that the young men of Chicago should have a place where they can spend their leisure hours to advantage. Many years ago it succeeded in securing quarters on Madison street known all over the land as "Farwell hall." A complete gymnasium, reading rooms, library and other conveniences made the place a rendezvous for the best class of young men but finally the patronage became so large that the officers of the association were compelled to look around for a new location. Some time ago the building committee secured an option on a splendidly located piece of real estate. The option lias now been accepted and a handsome new building will soon be erected at the corner of La Salle street and Arcade court.

The proposed structure, a picture of which is herewith presented, will be built of pressed briclt, with granite

trimmings, stone finish. There will be sixteen stories, of which seven will be devoted to the use of the Young Men's Christian association and the remaining nine rented for offices. On the left of the main floor will be a broad entrance. to the elevators and stairways leading to the office portion of the building. lletween these„entrances will be a spacious and well-lighted store, and on Arcade court will be six very desirable stores or offices. The balance of this floor will contain the lavatory, two bowling alleys, a natatorium and dressing rooms. On the second floor will be the reading room, reception room and auditorium. The library, correspondence room and various recreatiou rooms will be located on the third, and the gymnasium on the fourth floor. The floors used for association purposes will be connected by spccial elevators and stairways. The real estate and building together will cost the stupendous sum of $1,400,000. Five hundred thousand dollars of this amount has already been raised by subscription, and as a handsome sum will, no doubt, be realized from the sale of the real estate now owned by the association, the building committee feels encouraged to proceed to the erection of the new structure without delay. The rents from the office floors will more than pay interest on the amount the association may be compelled to borrow to carry out its humanitarian plans.

The Young Men's Christian association has already done excellent work, and when it enters its new and superb-ly-equipped home it will unquestionably be even a greater power for good than it lias been in the past.

Samuel .T. Tililen't Eloquence. Mr. Henry Watterson, the celebrated journalist of Kentucky, introduced Samuel J. Tilden to Mary Anderson, behind the scenes of the Fifth Avenue theater in New York. Mr. Tilden was dressed in an elaborate full dress suit, a jewel sparkling in his shirt front, his hair carefully combed, and his face fairly raditint with smiles, lie paid his compliments to the actress with all the grace of a French nobleman various airy nothings came sparkling forth from his eloquent lips, and the commonplaces of admiration glowed with the fervor of liis look anil manner, lie fairly captivated tlic celebrated actress. "What" a handsome man Mr. Tilden is," said Miss Anderson to her friends. "Old?" she continued, in reply to an observation, "I never thought of his age. Why, liis talk was as young as anybody's, and his compliments were the prettiest spoken over heard."

Indeed all modern Europe has learned more or less from them, and many nations, especially of the so-called Latin races, are still governed almost entirely by the Koinan or civil laws, though in England the origiu of law is quite different. —It is claimed that in the state paper office at London there is a copy, perhaps the only one extant, of a folio newspaper sheet "Public Occurrences," printed at I.oston, and benring date September 25, lti'.IO, to be issued monthly or oftener, and printed by R. l'ierce, for Benjamin Harris, at the London Coffee House, 1000.

The lirst coins struck by the United States mint were some lialf-dimes, in 170'J the first dimes were struck in France from old silver family plate furnished by Washington, the coins being known as "Martha Washington Dismes" from the circumstance as noted and an adaptation of the Liberty head to that of Martha Washington. —A New York life insurance company, insuring only sound and generally young animals, worth between S100 and $400 each, reports that of 704 horses dying within the past five years, 163 died of colic, 77 of inflammation of the bowels, 74 of kidney trouble, 51 of pneumonin, 52 of sunstroke, 30 of pinkeye, 37 of lockjaw, 23 of broken legs, l'J of epizootic, 10 of heart disease, 4 of blind staggers, 0 were killed by runaways, 4 were drowned, 2 were killed by lightning, 12S died of unknown diseases, and only 8 were burned. —A distinguished judge once addressed the prisoner as follows "Prisoner at the bar, your counsel thinks you innocent: the counsel for the prosecution thinks you innocent I think you innocent Hut a jury of your own countrymen, in the exerciso of such common sense as they possess, which does not seem to be much, have found you 'guilty,'and it remains that I should pass upon you the sentence of the law. That sentence is that you be kept in imprisonment for one day, and as that day was vesterdav. vou may go about your business.'

Kck, which has just arrived at lliogo, Japan, after a run of 15s days from Philadelphia, says the Philadelphia Record. A singular phenomenon was seen on January 24 from the decks of tlio Lock Kck, when the vessel was suddenly surrounded by a boiling whirlpool. resembling the lower part of a waterspout. In a short time the vessel was surrounded by waterspouts traveling in all directions. One of the spouts was 300 feet high and another was seen Inside of it, whirling in a contrary direction. As soon as the gale subsided all disappeared but OIK?, which was very large. Suddenly a tongue of forked lightning from the heavens struck the spout and rail down to a point near the base, when it burst with a terrific report. —In one respect Ireland receives her highest recognition in Chili. The newest ironclad is the Capitan Prat, another being the O'lliggins and another the Amiranto Lynch. The O'lliggins is named after Hernardo O'lliggins, whoso father, born in a laborer's cottage in the county Westmeath, emigrated to South America in the early part of the last century and rose to distinction in different parts of that continent. The father, Ambrose, was one of the last Spanish viceroys of Peru, and the son, Hernardo, was the first director of the republic of Chili. Hernardo O'lliggins is the Washington of his country, lie it was who was mainly instrumental in winning the independence of Chili at the beginning of this century, and the grateful country has given his name to a province and a war ship and has erected, a a statue in his honor in its capital.
