\u2014 (1) That the Bishops would be appointed not by the Pope, but by the head of the French Government, subject, however, to the approval of the Pope, (2) That no change in the territorial constitution of bishopries could be made except through the concurrence of the two powers.(3) That the Bishops would have to reside in their dioceses, and would have no right to visit Rome without leave of the French Government, (4) That no assembly of Bishops might be held without Government consent, (6) That the expenses of Bishops and priests and the cost of maintenance of church edifices would be made a charge upon the public exchequer of France.It may be noted here that the Vatican negotiators had insisted, but in vain, upon having the Roman Catholic religion declared the religion of the State.All that the French Consul was willing to accept was the insertion in the treaty of a recognition of the fact that the Roman Catholic religion was \u201cthe religion of a large majority of Frenchmen.\u201d Under the regime of constitutional monarchy that ruled France from the fall of Napoleon to the year 1848 the Concordat worked on the whole smoothly.though the fall of the Bourbons proper, in 1830, was considered a heavy blow by the Church, and the old Arch- cme ap Lory GA = aw sg PvacFaa, VC Uae so far as never x allow \u201cDominie Sal- vum fac Rege\u201d to be chanted in his presence in honor of the new King, Louis Philippe.The fall of the bourgeois monarchy and the establishment of a democratic republic in 1848 were not considered a misfortune by the French Church.The dethroned King was much more of a Voltairian of a devout Catholic, though the Queen was very religious, a contrast then not seldom found in the families of the rich Bourgeoisie.It than seemed that in a republic priests who kept in touch with the people might rise very high in the Councils of the State and make the Church a greater So liberty trees blessed by.priestly hands, while priestly lips led in the shouts of \u201cVive la Republique!\u201d À Re BE power than ever before.were everywhere Origin of Anti- Clerical Party.Things changed suddenly as soon as Italian warriors overthrew the Government of Pope Pius IX.and established a republic in Rome.This caused a sudden reversal in the attitude of the Roman Catholic Church, especially in France.It became hostile to many insurgent or popular movements then disturbing the rulers of the various countries of Europe, and the support of the Church was practically everywhere This it is that gave birth to a new division of parties, Clerical and Anti-Clerical, After the expedition sent to Italy by President Louis given to the established powers.Napoleon Bonaparte had put an end to the existence of the Roman Republic, the most eloquent spokesman of the French Catholics, Count de Montalembert, exclaimed: \u201cWhat weeneed now is a Roman expedition inside of France.\u201d He meant thereby that the Church must be allowed to reconquer old privileges taken from it by the French Revolution, as it had reconquered the temporal power wrested from the Pope by the Italian revolutionists.The full purport of his words was soon shown when an active Clerical leader, Count de Fal- loux, then Minister of Public Instruction, brought in a bill abolishing the monopoly of secondary education then possessed by the State and destined to bring about the creation of a rival system under the direct control of the Church, XR *¥ ææ Privileges of The Chureh.The coup d\u2019etat by which Louis Napoleon destroyed the second French Republic was a defeat for anti-Clerical no less than for republican policies.The privileges granted to the Church began to grow rapidly, and soon they comprised the following: First, in primary education, while ro 452 SEA LAUL LEUU LU PUODESS A SLALE degree, in the case of a brother or sister an appointing letter from the head of the order was considered sufficient guarantee.The brothers controlled a large majority of boys\u2019 schools and the sisters nearly all the girls\u2019 schools.The Li = Fr TEE 4 - Portail de la Calende at the Cathedral of Notre Dame at Rouen.| EEL LENO RL \\ NE \u2014 36 lay teacher had to devote some of his time to the catechism.He had no right to make any comment, but must simply see that the pupils could repeat verbatim the printed answers, The Archbishops, Bishops, and priests were de jure members of all educational councils and all charity boards.They had the control of municipal cemeteries;

This 1s our real foe!\u201d The Republicans won at the polls and began to apply thelr programme, which, quite naturally, the Church resisted, as it entailed the disappearance of many a cherished privilege.The crowning achievement of the Republican and Anti-Clerical forces was the establish- Tomb of the Duc de Breze in the Cathedral of Notre Tomb of Louis XII.and Anne of Brittany in the Abbe Church of St.Denis, Paris.compulsory, entirely free, and entirely secular, XX BE *¥ Establishment of Church Schools.In its struggle against its antagonists the Church displayed wonderful energy.Whenever a public school was turned from ecclesiastical to lay teachers the Church would start against it a non-subsidized parochial school, and these parochial schools often met with wonderful success.The race between the public and the Church schools was rather a close one, when French society was suddenly convulsed by the developments of the Dreyfus case.When the battle in favor of the revision of the judgment, which had been stoutly opposed by the Clerical forces, had been won, the Anti-Clericals began to look for the elements which had given their opponents strength enough to sway for a while public opinion, by which, on the political battlefield, they had been time and again put to rout, and \u2018their conclusion was that this formerly unsuspected strength was due to the recent 4 \" En TAR 3 y A ba] FY A LTH an A » Carl wt EERIE 1 CY es PE ' West Facade of the Cathedral of Notre Dame, Paris.Rome to the King of Italy, and Cardinal Merry del Val issued his famous protest against the visit of the head of what he called a Catholic nation to a King whom he considers the usurper of the Pope\u2019s sovereignty.The French Government took up the challange, proclaimed this protest to be in violation of the provision of the Concordat by which the Pope bound himself not to interfere in the political affairs of France, declared the Concordat therefore at an end, and decided to support before the houses a bill establishing the separation between Church and State introduced by a Socialist Deputy, M.Briand.This bill, somewhat modified in the course of long debates, has become a law.The Pope rejects it on two grounds, first, because he was not consulted, as he considers he should have been, since the Concordat was a contract between two parties, of which he was one; second, that it makes no special mention of the Roman Catholic Church and of the rights of Bishops in its Government, which is perfectly true, » as the law merely says that all associa- tiong for public worship, \u201cAssociations Cultuelles,\u201d must conform to the rules of the cult, whichever it be for which they are created.7 wn #% SA The Present Deadlock.The Bishops then thought they could organize under the Association Bill of 1901; this also has been forbidden by the Pope.Then arose the thought of calling in the law of 1881, enacting the rules to be observed in holding public meetings, and this also failed to satisfy the head of the Roman Catholic Church.His position was that nothing would satisfy him except an official request from the French Government to state his views, which would be an acknowledgment on the part of the Government that it had no right to proclaim the Concordat at an end, and this both Cabinet and Parliament in France absolutely refused to do, claiming among other things, that the Pope himself had acknowledged the existence of the Sep- paration Bill by appointing more than thirty French Bishops without consultation with the French Government.Hence the present deadlock, iii dE pony Ra Stairway in the Church of St.Etienne du Mont, Paris.«_.-\u2014 \u201c0 \u2014 pra 4 ¢ -\u2014 THE STANDARD, Connection With Which a Fierce Battle MONTREAL, CANADA.is Now hoe LE DR i ET TER ben 1-1 TILE FRET View in choir ofthe Abbey Church of St.Denis, Paris.AND Paris Notre Dame, which contains the episcopal throne of His Eminence Mgr.Richard, Cardinal-Archbishop of Paris, and head of the Roman Catholic hierarchy in France.This church, which is 426 feet long by 164 feet wide, was finished in 1223, and was thoroughly restored between 1846 and 1879 by Viol- let-le-Duc.As it now exists, it possesses five naves running the entire length of the building, and a number of square chapels; the central fleche, recently restored, is 312 feet high.Two massive towers worthily crown the principal facade, which is one of the most beautiful that have come down to us frem the Middle Ages.The transepts also have two facades, which, while less imposing, are more richly decorated with chiselled work,dating from about the middle of the 13th century.Of the present elaborate decoration of the interior, all that is old is a part of the screen of the choir, which dates from the 14th century.Notre Dame, on December 2nd, 1804, was the scene of the imposing coronation of Napoleon I.On that occasion Pope Pius V.performed the ceremony, having travelled \u2014 \u2014\u2014p me T -\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 all thé way from Rome to Paris\u2014not an | easy journey in those days\u2014to officiate at the solemn service, The Church of Ste.Genevieve, or the Pantheon, consecrated by the Convention to illustrious men, but since restored to Christian worship, is built in the form of a Greek cross, with a dome in the centre, and a columned portico in front, the pediment of which contains an immense bas-relief by David of Angers, representing great men crowned by their country.The crypt contains the tombs of Soufflot (the architect of the church), Rousseau, Voltaire, and others.Near Ste.Genevieve stand the Church of St.Etienne du Mont, with a magnificent rood-loft, and the chapel of Ste, Genevieve with the tomb of this patroness of Paris.The Church of the Madeleine, one of the most famous in Paris (and particularly interesting to Canadians from the fact that a funeral service was held therein over the remains of the late Hon.Raymond Prefontaine, Minister of Marine and Fisheries in the Federal Government,who suddenly passed away THE < ATHEDRAL CHURCHES OF PARIS.\u2014 The largest and finest of SNH) the ecclesiastical edifices of is the Cathedral of North Transept of the Abbey Church of St.Denis, Paris._ ee ma | ol - Chursh of St.La rent, Paris.style than the exterior, the interior of Notre Dame de Rouen presents nothing peculiar in its architecture with the exception of the false gallery along the nave with passages running round the pillars; but the artistic curiosities are numerous and varied.In the choir may be noted a fine series of 13th century stained glass windows, carved stalls of the 15th century, the tombs of the English Kings Henry II.and Richard I, and Bishop Maurille, an elegant Gothic staircase, and various tombs of archbishops and bishops.The Church of St.Ouen was commenced in 1311, but the chair alone had been constructed in the 14th century.In spite of the juxtaposition of the second and third or \u201cradiant\u201d and \u201cflamboyant\u201d styles of Gothic, the building taken altogether presents in its general lines the most perfect unity\u2014a unity which even the modern addition of a facade with two bell towers has failed to mar, though no regard was had to the original plans.St.Ouen is the largest church erected in France during the Hundred Years\u2019 War;

its large windows contain admirable stained glass of its own date, and the basements are adorned inside with pictures recently restored.It has a lower storey ingeniously arranged, which served as a chapel for the palace servants, The Sainte Chapelle was designed by Pierre de Montreau, one of the most celebrated architects of his time, to whom is attributed another marvel still extant, the refrectory of the abbey of St.Martin, now occupied The Church of St.Francois Xavier, Paris.\u2014\u2014 | g\u2014 TN V { \u2014 by the library of the Conservatoire des Arts et des Metiers, This incomparable artist was buried in the Abbey of St.Germain-des-Pres, where, too, he had raised magnificent buildings now no longer existing.The Church of St.Eustache contains Colbert\u2019s tomb;

a great central doorway, a rose window, and countless arcades and Gothic pinnacles and turrets of the close of the 15th and the beginning of the 16th centuries.The width of the front is increased by the projection of the two towers; that, on the left hand, the Tour Saint-Roman, was commenced about 1200 and raised to a greater height in 1465-1477; that on the right hand, the finer of the two, has a height of 260 feet, and takes its name of Butter Tower from the fact that it was erected between 1485 and 1507 by means of the moneys paid by the faithful for permission to eat butter in Lent.On the north side of the Cathedral are various accessory buildings dating from the Middle Ages, and the Booksellers\u2019 Portal, corresponding to the Portail de la Calende in the south transept.Both portals are adorned with statues, and both, as well as the towers which flank them, date from the reigns of St.Louis and Philip the Fair.Above the transepts rises the central tower, which was re-built in the 15th and 16th centuries, and had, before its destruction by fire in 1822, a height of 430 feet.The iron spire, added in 1876, though unfortunately much too slender, has raised it to a height of 485 feet, and thus made it the highest erection in Europe after the spires of Cologne Cathedral.While more harmonious in its The East End of the Cathedral at Rheims, France._ em ew \u2014\u2014\u2014 am a visitor;

the \u201cgallery of the Kings\u201d above has the baptism of Clovis in the centre, and also has statues of Charlemagne and his father, Pippin the Short.The towers, 267 feet high, were originally designed to rise 394 feet; that on the south contains two great bells, one of which, named by Cardinal de Lorraine in 1570, weighs more than 11 tons.The transepts are decorated with gculp- tures,\u2014that on the north with statues of the principal bishops of Rheims, a representation of \u201cThe Last Judgment,\u201d and a figure of Christ;

one of them, representing the coronation of Clovis and the battle of Sois- sons, affords valuable evidence relating to the military costumes of the 16th century.Archbishop Henry of Lorraine also presented seventeen large pieces of tapestry, representing the life of Christ, in 1633;

that does not matter.On the contrary, though metallie effects are greatly in vogue, it is the old gold and old silver that find favor rather than too brilliant trimmings.An improvement to openwork silver garnitures of this description is to place them on a lining of dull gold.VANDALIA.SECOND BASKET-BALL TEAM OF THE GIRLS\u2019 HIGH SCHOOL, MONT- REAL\u2014Beginning at the left, their names are:\u2014Back row: Delia Neil, Evelyn Craig, Miss Holmstrom (instructor), Gladys Brown, Zelma Prae- ther, Winnie Medcalfe;
