’ Fathe'r James H. Bleak. of New 0r-
, leans. Appointed to the-Bill“
J ozrric of Porto Rico.
i Father Blenk. of New Orleans, bishop-
:lect of Porto Rico, isa thorough ‘Amer-
ican, born August 6. 1857, in New 01‘-
Ieans, where he received his primary ed-
ucation. After completing a classical
‘ course in northern colleges be resolved
to devote his life to the service of God
in the Catholic priesthood. and entered
Jefferson college. St. James‘ parish,
where he taught some three years pre-
vious to entering the novitiate of the
Society of Mary, or Marist fathers.
From J eflerson college he went‘ abroad
to study in the school of philosophy, at
l
(Just Appointed Roman Catholic Bishop
of Porto Rico.)
Belley, France, where he distinguished
himself. He then entered the Marist
novitiate at Lyons, and after complet-
ing this probationary period was sent
by his superiors to Dublin to follow a
course of science and higher mathe-
matics in the Catholic university of Ire-
land. Here he again made a brilliant
record. Father Blenk received high
praise from Dr. Casey, the professor of
mathematics at that university. From
the Catholic university Father Blenk
went to St. Mary’s college, Dundalk,
Ireland, where he occupied the chair
of mathematics, afterward returning
to the Marist house of studies in Dub-
lin, where he completed his theological
studies and won first honors.
On August 16, 1885, he was raised to
the priesthood by Archbishop Redwood,
S. M., of Wellington, New Zealand, and
in October of the same year returned
to Louisiana to labor among his own
people. He was-stationed as professor
at Jefferson college, at Convent, La. In
.1891 he became president of that col-
lege. In 1896, at the invitation of the
general of the Marist order, he took a
trip aboard and visited a number of the
houses of the order in France, all of the
Marist houses in England and Ireland,
and thereby renewed many old and
pleasant acquaintances. Returning to
New Orleans in February,.1897, he took
charge of the Church of the Holy Name
of Mary, of Algiers. This appointment
was peculiarly pleasing to‘ Father
Blenk, as from his earliest priesthood
he had had a latent desire for mission-
ary work. His success in the parish of
, Algiers testified to his fitness in that
l line of labor. Archbishop Janssens had
j the highest regard for him, and for six
years he was on the archbishop’s board
of consultors. Archbishop Chapellc
reappointed Father Blenk to this office,
and recommended his appointment to
the episcopal see of Porto Iiico. Dur-
ing his stay in the island last winter he
gave many proofs of his wisdom and
zeal. He will probably be consecrated
in .Tune in the cathedral in New Orleans
by Archbishop Chapelle.

Contribution Box.
In Las Calles, N. M., there is a church,
the members of which believe that the
passing of the contribution box should
be a source of revenue, even if nobody
drops in a cent. With one stroke of
genius in the shape of an improved con-
tribution box they have solved two
problems. In the first place, a sharp
steel rod projects several inches below

the bottom of the box. This is used to
awaken members of the congregation
who may be taking 'a nap preliminary
to the sermon, and to concentrate the
attention of those whose thoughts may
be wandering ou the matter immediate-
ly at hand. But the most striking thing
about the new box is the fact that the
space on its sides is rented for adver-
tising purposes. Thus, when one of
the congregation drops a quarter into
the box, he is‘ reminded that “Jones
pays the highest price for butter” or
“Asquith gives 00 days’ credit on car-
. pets and furniture.” The cut. of the
*box herewith reproduced is from Plain

A Group of Interesting Students in
an Ohio University. _ .
They Belong to Various Kallir Tribes
—No One Ever Hears of Them Ly—
lng and Cheating—Two Bright
Young “Women.
In Wilbeforce university, Xenia, 0..
there are now ten bright South African
students, eight men and two women.
representing the Basuto, Mtembu,
Fcngu, Xasa and‘Zulu tribes, says the
New York Tribune. They have been
in the institution for various periods.
from seven months to five years; the
oldest student, Miss Manye, of the
Basuto tribe, whose picture accom-
paniesthis article, has pa’ssed five years
in the school, .and is now a sophomore
in the scientific course. The names of
the entire company are as follows;
Misses Makhoma, Manye and Adelaide
Tantsi, Messrs. Muskinya, Maxeke,
Yapi Tantsi, J. J. Tantsi, John Manye,
Segaone, Kuzwayo and ’Masiza- Kakaza,
.Of the men two are taking a classical
course, one theology, one preparing for
law and four are taking the English
course.
Although representing several dif-
ferent tribes, they all conversefreely
. in the Kafiir tongue, which is now a
written language. The most peculiar
thing in their speech is the “click” ele—
ment, represented in English by “C,"
“X” and “Q."
It is made by three kinds of “click”—
one by the tongue one on theroof of the
mouth, somewhat as we express strong
and sudden disappointment; the sec-
ond is the driver’s “click” to his horse
when he wishes him to go; the third is
a gut-tural “click” of the same sort.
These “clicks” are introduced at the be-
ginning, or even in the middle of a
word, with the utmost ease by the Af»
ricans, but no American can pronounce
“Maxeye”—the x representing a.
“click,” -“c1ick.”
Miss Manye has taken special train-
ing in voice culture and is a singer of
grace and effectiveness. It is remarka-
ble that all the students possess good

after the African method when they ar-
rived.
In character they stand as well as
the best. Said on cX-prcsidcnt of the
university, now a bishop: “No one
ever hears of an African student lying
or cheating. They are all persons of
strong character, holding their places
among the students by means of their
worth and ability. Mis‘s Manye is as-
sistant superintendent of our Sunday
school, and an excellent one she is;
everybody honors and.loves her.” The
whole group of students have an ease
and dignity of “bearing refreshing to
observe and du‘i‘ing their whole stay
here their deportmcnt has been excel-
lent. Some of them are the sons of
heathen fathers of considerable pos-
sessions, especially in cattle and sheep.
Indeed, cattle are money in South Af-
rica.
All of these students expect to return
to Africa when through with their
studies, most of them to teach, think-
ing thus to be of the highest service to
their people. One young man hopes to
engage in legal and political life. The
countries to which they will return are
now under English control, and are
fast taking on European civilization,
but the negro element is so effecting
this civilization as to make it neces-
sary that the newspapers be printed
one-half in Kaffir.
The male students take great interest
in the military drill carried on in the
university. This part of the college
'work is under charge of Lieut. Young,
the only «colored West Pointer in the
army, and is kept up to a high standard,
the young Africans being as bright as
any on the drill ground.
A representative of the Mtembu race,
when asked why he wished to learn the
drill, made answer: “I want to be a cap-
tain and be able to teach my people.
My people are brave, but they have not
education. They do not love to fight;
they like to farm, and are peaceable,
but they are brave and full of ‘fight if
necessary. The Zulus are the fighters.
They like to fight. The Basutos also
have got guns from France and have
foughtthe English once or tvvice. They,
too are good fighters.” The students
all speak well of the English. but are
not so friendly toward the Dutch. They
say they never heard of killing people
by “mobs,” until they came to this
country, and that their people when
well educated are treated by the' Eng-
lish as white people. They believe that
they will finally come into a fair share
of the control of the country and have
little complaint to make of the English
people who are living and trading in
their midst.

COLORING BUTTER.
A Dairy Paper Presents Some very
Strong and Logical Arguments
Against the Practice.
If oleomargarine were put upon the
market undisguised and sold honest-1y
for what it is there could be no ground
for complaint, either moral or legal.
If people knowing What it is deliberate-
1y buy it, they have a. perfect right to
do so, and any law'forbidding its man.-
ufacture or sale would be not only un-
fair and unjust, but in directviolation .
of the letter and spirt of the rights of
American free men. But there is, we
presume, no case'on record where un-
colored oleomargarine was offered for
sale as oleomaq'garine and sold for use
as a substitute for butter. If it were not
colored to resemble butter the amount
sold would never trouble any butter-
maker. In fact if frhere were no butter
color there would practically be no
oleomargarine s dd. It is in coloring it,
shaping it and {damping it to resemble
butter that tho; fraud consists. It is
against the bu' ,‘ter color that the flaw is
aimed. ‘ ,I
In the same: way so-called butter,
ringed, streaked, striped and spotted,
without regard to previous condition or
composition, is colored and molded to
imitate first—class butter. The original
stuff out of which this process butter
is compounded is but little, if any, bet-
ter than the raw material of oleomar-
garine. But butter color cures all de-
fects for the purpose of sale, just as
with oleomargarine.
Against this and process butter all
real dairymefi wage oopen and relent~
less war, but with the utmost incon—
sistency they take the very same but-
ter color and use it precisely as the
oleomargarine and process people do—
for the same purpose, too; that is, for
giving their. butter a uniform and at-
tractive color, the color of the best but-
ter when at its best—Jersey butter
from June grass.- The difference is of
degree and not of kind—of bad, worse,
worst. The whole practice is inexcusa~
blel—Jersey Bulletin.
HINTS FOR THE DAIRY.
A cow abominates an unclean person-
' Many dairymen feed too much; more
feed too little.
Cows need roots from October to May
for best results. _
Salting the cows 'is one of the things
too often neglected.
Do not milk your cows before they
calve. Reduce the food if udder is get-
ting too hot, but do not milk.
There is good reason to believe the
colostrum, or first mess, should be di-
vided between the cow and calf.
In dairying brains are needed as
much as “blood;” yet the amount of
brains is not as essential as the quality.
Most cows prostrated with fever can
be cured if prompt attention is given.
The remedy is not physic, but warmth.
Chewing tobacco orswearing (accord-
ing to some) will dry up cows. I' know
if I hear any swearing the swearer
“dries up” mighty quick.
The greatest blessing that ever comes
to a dairyman is a sweet—tempered wife,
who can make fine butter. I know this
by experience. ’ he wife appreciates
having her husband say nice things
about her and her work. —— Midland
Farmer.

nailing it to a wood hoop (b), so the
edge will come above the wheel and
thus make a false bottom for the milk
pail. Make just large and small enough
so the pail will fit close enough to carry
the false bottom without touching it.
When through milking the bottom can
be removed by shoving it off the pail.
When milking in the barnyard or open
field a fake bottom of this kind is very
handy.—S. Bibby, in Farm and Home.
