Catholics of this city has just been issued and is now in‘the. hands of Archbishop Corrigau of New York. The decree absolutely forbids Catholic priests performing marriages during the Holy year'where one of the interested parties is not a Catholic. It deprives for the period stipulated all bishops of the power of granting dis- pensations permitting the marriage of Roman Catholics with persons of other denominations. This withdrawal of authority, how- ever applies only to the Holy Jubilee Year .of 1900. At the expiration of the 12 months it will be resumed. The bishops of Connecticut will receive the text of the papal decree and it will be forwarded atonce to the priests of the various parishes and probably publish- ‘ ed from the altars of the churches next This will prove a matter of much moment .to young couples in. this city contemplating marriage, as from indications the bishcp would have been appealed to ina number of cases to grant dispensations. In fact the decree will-have an important bearing upon the matrimonial plans of hundreds of young people in the country, for what are known in the church as “mixed marriages” are by nomeans rare.Those couples situated in the predicament re- ferred to will now have to appeal to Rome for dispensation. In the decreethe pope intimates that the withdrawal of such dispensations is to induce members of the church to turn their thoughts more often to the head of the church. The decree says: “his highly proper that Christian men should from time to time come hither (to Rome) at the call of the- Apostolic See; that together they may find opportunity for expiation for their sins and bear testimony by their pres~ enee to the authority of Rome. “This being both fruitful and salu- tary, we desire that luring the coming year as many as possible may visit this city, and to add stimulus to those desirous of coming to Rome we desire to suspend those privileges which the liberality and indulgence of the church have from time to time granted to those wishing to expiate for their I Still we wish to proceed prudently and moderately in the mat- ter. “Wit‘1 the exception of those named above, we decree that all other indul- gences, even plenary indulgences granted in the form of jubilee and all partial indulgences shall be suspended and held as void. Also faculties and indults of absolving in cases reserved to the Apostolic Sec, of relaxing cen- of dis- pensing to irregularities and impedi- sures and commuting vows, ments, no matter how those faculties have been granted shall likewise be suspended.” . ..>-.———————~ MILITARY ENROLLMENT. Orders Issued fo'SeIectmen by the Governor. Governor Lounsbury has issued the usual order regarding the annual mil- itary enrollments, which provides that selectmen shall enroll the names of all males between the ages of 18 and 45, residing in the town on January 1, and shall file with the town clerk the names of all such except minors and those exempt by law. The town is re- quired to pay to the state $2 per head as a military commutation tax, but many deduct from the total'amount of the tax such an amount as is uncollect- ible not to exceed 10 per cent. -The surgeon-general has prescribed that'the following disabilities shall ex~' empt from the performance of military duty: Insanity, epilepsy or mental ab- erration, loss of sight of an eye, or V permanent defect of one or both eyes. loss of hearing, loss of speech, loss of 'an arm or leg, or any other injury or disease which incapacitates for man-. ual labor. Selectmen can only exempt on certificates of post-surgeon. The Malaria Mozqilto. According to the observations of Maj, 1.Ronald- Ross in India the germs of malaria are borne, not by the ordinary - brindled or gray mesquito, but by his cousin the spotted-winged mosquito. Maj. Ross was recently sent- to the west coast of Africa to investigate the sources of malaria there and he. re- winged mosquito is the agent through which the dnsease is spread. Italian investigators have also shown that- mrx<quifoes convey the germs of ma— laria into the blood of human beings. Trannvaal’s Lack.

FUNERAL cus'rons. ' 2: Manner of Placing a Collin In a Bag. and of Carrying It to the H Burying Place. While in old times it was more orless the custom, in the interment of bodies, to bury them with their feet to the cast, a custom now substantially superseded by the almost common practice of bury»- .ing the body with the feet. to the path along the front of the lot, so was it once more or less the custom to place the coffin in the room in whichthede- ceased was to lie before burial with the feet to the east. Nowadays, says the New York Sun, the disposal of the body in the room would be determined alto- gether by the shape and size of the room, except that commonly the feed}: would be placed toward the door. 1 _ Though the common way is to pascal the body in the center of the room, up other way, in comparatively modern} practice, is to place the coffin or casket: across one corner of the room. This! gives opportunity for a convenient MI effective disposition of flowers and flocflI pieces, and it perhaps affords a betteel view of the face. 3 As to the manner of moving abody to its burial, that 18 always done with the” feet foremost.

I do. however, object. to someo‘f the geographical ideas that they have in regard to England. Last winter my little "girl started to learn about the, states. From October until May she, drew maps of each one. learned about their towns, rivers, mountains and commercial products until she had them all at her fingers' ends. I “That was all well enough, and I greatly admired the thoroughness d! the teaching; so this year whenslac} told me that they were beginning on England, Scotland and'Ireland, I felt quite pleased that she should learn all about the dear old country, and prom- ised myself a good deal of pleasure in talking to her of my old haunts. Well, if you will believe it, in about a week she announced that they had finished up with Great Britain, and that the class had started to study up the (Ho visions. of the continent.

New 5 York Sun, "who accumulate great for- tunes by great strokes, but by far the greater number of fortunes, including those of moderate dimensions, and these form the great majority of all, are made by the very simple process of living within one’ 5 income and invest- ing the surplus, with more orless wis- dom, but always where it will be safe. f‘Thc older- I grow the more amazed I am’ that more people don’t lay up a competence for themselves, as most anybody can do, by beginning 1:211;th life to live within their income, and sticking to that course faithfully.
