Show ME EXCITABLE France la n country of discord aad dissension. When uut engaged in au international quarrel, the French people are rowing among themselves. In no other land are there so many excitable people, always ready to be stirred Into a war feier over some (Haag recent. For thirty years the French were preparing to average iha blow struck by Bismarck when he exacted four billion franca as s war indemnity and took from the haughty people the . provinces of When Germany's rapid increase is population and magnificent army made nn impossibility, the vengeance French began to discever intrigues In the army and Dreyfus, a Jew, was made the object of national hatred and persecution. Always laboring to produce n new eenaatlon. the French government is cruow engaged in nn sade aad the strange anomaly ia of the government of a Catholic country resorting to the most drastic demonstVation "since the Catholic priests of Germany were made to aweur supreme allegiance to the Kaiser. it Is difficult to understand hew demenceaua ad ministration dare pur sue the course mapped out unless a majority of the Cathulle population is In favor of the complete divorcement of church and atata. Oa each appeal to the people, the government, la Us pollry of separation of church and State, has been aurceesfu! and each time has been returned to office wlih Increased strength. What an unheard of condition, for a nation Cathulle, to support such a violent campaign. The priests, falling to stilmcrUie to the law of asuurlaituna, are to be driven from their rectories sad the Churches ara to be closed. The Pope bas sustained the intransigent altitude of the bishops of France and has advised that the clergy refuse to recoga renise the new conditions, and mit there ia Irreconcilable estrangement and civil war 1 not beyond a possibility. The conflict la France may end in good for tha Catholic church. Where aute and church are united there Is Imund to be scheming and trickery even among those who are of the ministry and, aa a result, the church must suiter scandal aad eventually become corrupted. The pampered church In France hne shown no auch growth asr the unassisted Catholic church In d America. Hare Catholicism Is a a growth, claiming membership of 13,000,00t, made up of a highly active. aggressive body of Americans prond of thalr country, yet deeply devoted to the church; and the church Is prospering In Its proselyting and la lu flaaaclal welfare, but In France there la clearly discernible a lark of faith and an indifference that threat ens a relapse Into disbelief and a confusion that may lead to schism and violent religious diffeienoea.

The American la an object of deep Interest In Europe and hie bualneaa tact and adaptability ara becoming recognised aa worthy of emulation. The New York Post aaya: A French Journalist, Julea Hurst, declares that during flve months In Germany nothing struck him so much as the frequent suggestions of America, not only In the Industrial life, hut la the appearanre of the streets of the great cities. He la amased at the way tba bualneaa men plunge boldly into gnat enterprises. The readiness with which Americana resort to telephone, telegraph, and the railroad train, and the nonchalance with which the Ran Francisco business man steps on the cam for New York aa if he were going to a near-bsuburb fairly astound Herr Vogelstetn also. , The greatest differences he notices are the most significant the indee and pendence, sturdy of the American, whether he be an ofllcehny or the senior partner. Every cfllcebny aims to bend the firm, and every clerk expecta to be n millionaire. It la regarded, aa an extranr-dlnarphenomenon In Germany if a subordinate without means is elevated to s partnership; something which happens here every day. The obsequious bowing and toadying of inferiors to their employers so frequently seen in Germany are foreign to this country. Indeed, the re sport with which the head of a great house treats a employe and takes his suggestions Is equaled. In Herr Vokel-steln'- s eyes, only by the familiarity of the Western workmen with his bosi which Injures neither, and In no wise letracta from the efficiency of the bushels. The readiness of the American riddle-clas-s employee to assume responsibilities and act independent ly la also a revelation to a foreigner. Thu ibaence of the elaborate business so usual In Germany, Herr Vugelsteln also notes. In America an applicant for work is 'slsed up' on his looks and then put to work. Young Germans are generally crestfallen at the fsiluie of their of proficiency to attract any y t, y official-lookin- atu-ntln- g In New York officon. s K McCall, of Maswi-cbuseii- s, with who often disagree his Republican colleagues on administration measures, thinks that congress should ait tn extra session next summer to revise the tariff, aa tt will be impossible to Uke up that subject st the present short session. He sees no prospect of a revision at the next session aa It will precede the Presidential election, when no action oa the schedules will be taken by the Republicans. He does not believe the Japanese situation will result In war between the two countries aud la confident of aa amicable adjustment of the trouble. Reaator Sutherland predicts that his colleague, Mr. Smoot, will neither be expelled nor excluded from the senate. "Of course. 1 cannot nay what the senate will do regarding the rase against Realtor Snioot, but from what I know of the Situation it Is my Judgment that he will not be unseated. he said, In discussing the matter. DESTRUCTIVE FLOODS IN 1905. The destructive floods that occurred the United States during 1H05 arc described by Mr. Edward Charle Muiphy and other hydrographers of the United States Urological Survey In a recent publication of that bureau, and which is listed as Water-Suppl- y Irrigation Paper, .No. 1B2. The very destructive floods of that year were few. The most remarkable flood or series of floods of the year were those la Gita River Basin In Arizona. From January IB to April 30 occurred a series of 7 floods almost a continuous flood remarkable for the total volume of flow. In November there was In this basin another flood, which bewas notable for Its magnitude, ing the largest on record on Salt River. The other large floods of the year occurred on comparatively small streams. Few lives were lost and the damage was small compared with that of some previous yer. Among the floods described in this paper are those on Puqiionntirk River. Connecticut, ou dlxmtle Creek and Cayuga Inlet, New York on the t'na-dlli- a and Chenango rivers New York, on Allegheny River, Pennsylvania-NeTork on Devils Creek, Iowa, on Pur gatory River.
