CHURCH AND STATE.
Bourke Cock ran Create, a Sensation In
a Speech in New Turk.
New Yokk, May 15. Bourke Cock
ran created a sensation by a speech last
night at the opening of the Catholic
edncational hospital. HeBaid:
"To declare the Catholic church hos
tile to the republic is to declare a
mother hostile to her offspring." Turn
ing to the archbishop and advancing
with forefinger outstretched, he de
clared with impassioned eloquence that
he would -' accept the teaching of - the
church : from his grace with the utmost
reverence, "but if the day should ever
come (here Cockran'a voice rose until it
echoed through the big hall) when from
the Catholic pulpit you utter one word
hostile to the integrity of this govern
ment: T fell von shoh lantmncrn wonld ho
heretical, yon would be false to the re
public and false to the chnrch that
placed the consecrated: oil'' upon your
head for the blessing of your children."

through tbe ball, quickly followed by a

OLDEST DOLL IN THE WORLD.
Believed to Date from tbe BefrlnnlnK of
tne Cnrlstian.Era.
Francella A. Hitchcock, : In' -the
".Doll's Dressmaker," tells ah interesting-
story of the famous Bambino di
Ara Coeli. It is the oldest doll in the
world, and if tradition is true, almost
as old as the Christian religion, for -it
is claimed to have been carved out of
a tree from the liount of Olives in "the
time of the apostles, andT to huve beeni
painted by St. Luke. Be this true or
not, it has been in the Eternal city
many hundreds of years,' and' is called
the "Ara Coell Bambino" (baby), be
cause the church of that name, one of
the oldest and most interesting- in
Rome, is its home. This church is
built on the site of a very ancient
pagan temple, and its .' nave is formed
of twenty two columns, the spoils of
the ancient buildings, the inscription
oh the third on the left proving it to
have been brought over from the pal
ace of the Cffisars. I shall never forget
the first day we visited this vast and
solemnly picturesque edifice. It was
just -at sunset, and golden shafts of
light illuminated the mosaic floor,
lighted up the richly gilded ceiling
above, and Hashed Jn wondrous bril
liancy over the Presepio, or manger,
where lay the miraculous Bambino in
swaddling clothes, literally crusted
over with diamonds, emeralds, rubies,
sappliires and other precious stones,
while its neck and wrists were entirely
covered with strings of the purest ori
ental pearls.
When Baby was sick, we gave her Castoria.
When she was a Child, she cried for Castoria.
When she became Miss, she clung to Castoria,
When she had Children, she gave them Castoria,

SOMETHING ENTIRELY NEW AND NOBBY.
A. M: WILLIAMS S GO!
INDIAN. CORONETS. .
They Are. the Most Expensive Sort an
American Girl Can .Buy. '
American women'' who long for core,
nets should hesitate before accepting
Indian ones. . The case of the recent
suit in which an English . woman sues
for divorce from her Hindoo husband,
points a moral.- She alleged cruelty
as a ground' for her suit, and ' it is
claimed that the, same plea might be
made by nearly all the .women who
marry orientals' and go home with
them. . . '
As a usual ithing, the oriental gen
tleman, pursuing his studies at an
English or American university, is a
picturesque figure. He is likely to be
very clever, and it is taken for granted
that he is a prince at -least when he is
at home. He is popular with his fel
lows, and through one of them he
meets- and marries a pretty, freely-brought-up
girl. Then he takes her
home. '
She may not meet with unkindness
from her husband's family, for the
orientals have many amiable an,id at
tractive qualities, and they are not
cruel. But if the husband has not cut
himself adrift from the religion and
ties of his childhood his wife must con
form to a certain extent to the ordinary
life of the native woman. And, inas
much as she will only do this so far as
her love and. duty to her husband
oblige her, she will certainly fail to
satisfy her new relatives, and will ,be
looked on with coldness and suspicion
by them. -
A lady at Tooleys, La., was very sick
with bilious colic when M. C. Tisler, a
prominent merchant of tbe town gave
her a bottle of - Chamberlain's Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. He
says she was well in forty minutes after
taking the first dose. For sale, by
