X. F. Musbet writes TO the Eoglish press
that Liquordom is killing trade, and, after
mentioning the amounts spent annually,
he remarks: "Now l say to manufacturers
that it is all very well to reduce wages,
and to eeenomize their processes Gf manu-
facture, but unless they unite manfully,
and put down the liquor fend, be will
crush them all. Besides the nine hundred
and forty millions actually paid in the past
seven years, the effect of So allowing the
Satanic solution itself has lost and cost the
nation at least an equal sum. If the days.
works lost through drink in the last seven
years were reckoned up, the amount of
wages thus sacrifced would appear incred
ible. If manufacturers were to unite, as
Que body, and refuse to employ any man or
woman who frequented drink shops, and
wOnld set the example by themselves ab.
staining, prosperity would soon return (;
for a sober EnglaRd could compete sue
ceasful!y against all other nations."
Weare nj oct forcibly reminded of The truth
of ali this by an item in the Labor Tribune of
Pittsburgh, which gives an account OF the
number of drinking shops in Allegheny

SENATORIAL JOKE.
(ss. Louis Rspubliean.)


An amusing incident occurred in the
Senate over the appropriation for the
School of Mines. Senator Seay had set bis
heart on securing an increase Of 9l0, 900 for
that institution, end has been bending all
his energies for the accomplishment of that
end. Realizing his anxiety about the mat
ter, Senators Young, Mayor, Parish, Will
son, and others quietly slipped around the
chamber and made arrangements with all
Senators to vote "no," on the first vote
taken on Seay's amendment to add go
900 to the appropriation for his pet. Seay
made really good speech IN behalf OF bis
amendment, aud eat down trembling to
await the result.
"Those in favor of the amendment Of
fered by The Senator frem Phelps will say
aye" said Senator PheIan, who occupied
the chair.
"Aye 7" rang out Seay's voice, solitary
and alone.
"Those who are opposed cay no,n said
the Chair.
"No, 90 :" responded the entire Senate
A deadly pallor overspread Seay's face
as he sank back in his chair with a sad
realization that his cherished dream had
fed.
"The noes appear to have it," said Phe-
Ian.
division division :" came from all D arts
" Those in favor of the amendment will
rise and stand until they are counted, said
the Chair, and up stood every Senator ex-
cept Seay, who had not sufficiently recov-,
cred from the shock to have strength
enough to rise to his feet.
How does the Senator from Phelps
vote !" innocently inquired the Chair.
Why-why-of course l vote aye, Mr..
President !" said Seay, in a bewildered
sort of way, as if he could scarcely be-
lieve the evidence of his own senses at the
sudden turn of affAirs.
- The ayes have it, and the amendment
is adopted" announced the Chair.

TIE C4SUALTIES OF WAR.

The official statistics as to The number of
killed and wounded in the German army
during the war with France have just been
published at Berlin. The number of Off
GERS killed and wounded was 1916, and Of
solders sc, ,975 The number of officers and
men who were either killed or died of their
wounds, was 1 ,3S4 aud l6 s77 respectively.
The proportion of the killed IN the wounded
was in every 3 A for the officer, and in
for the men. AZ q matter of course, the
great majority of the killed and wounded
belonged 10 the infantry, which lost 50 ,942,
az compared to 1926 in the cavalry, and
4.266 in the artillery. Only 5.0s4 were
killed or wounded by artillery tire, as
against So .s62 by Dusketry FIRE; and
though artillery had never been so
much employed as In the Franco PInssiao
war, 81 losses out of the every twenty
three on the German were due to infantry
FIRE. These figures are interesting for they
seem to confirm the theory that the effect
of artillery fire upon the battle field is
moral rather than material-that it fright
ems more soldiers than it kills. Some in
atructive statistics are also given as TO the
seat of the wound inflicted. Thus it ap-
pears that out of 81 s97 men of all ranks
killed or wounded, l2,7H were hit either
pom the bead or the peck, and this shows
that the French troops must have fired
very high. 10 the Crimean war, upon the
contrary, the bighees percentage Of wonnts
were in the lower part of the body-s fact
which 10 all the moro arkable ~ large
number of the men killed or wounded we're

The Royal Society for the Protection o
Life from Fire bss Published its diTection'
to its subordinates, and some suggestioni
for others who msy be at free in London, the
following of which are applicable every
where:
Every householder should make each
person ia his house acquainted with the beat
means of escape, whether the hre breaks
out at the top or at the bottom.
| Inmates at thei first alarm should endeA-
| vor calmly to reflect what means OF escape
there are in the house. If in bed At the time,
| wrap themselves in Q blanket or bedside
carpet open neither windows nor doors
more than necessary shut every door after
| them. (Tbis is most important to observe }
In the midst of smoke it is comparatively
clear toward the ground, consequently
progress through the smoke can be made
on the hands and knees. A silk handker-
chief, worsted stocking, or other flannel cub
stance. wetted and drawn over the face,
permits free breathing, ssG excludes, TO
q great extent, the smoke from the lupgs.
A wet sponge 10 alike eHicscious.
In the event of being unable to escape

certain that every individual is there as
ssmbled.
Persons thus circumstanced are entreated
not to precipitate themselves from the
window while there remains the least prob
ability OF An assistance; and even 10 the
last extremity, Q plain rope 10 invaluable,
or recourse may be had to joining shests or
blankets together, fastening one end around
bedpost or other furniture. This will
enable one person to lower all the others
separately, and the last one may let himself
down with comparatively little risk. Select
a window over the doorway rather than
over the area.
Do not give vent to the fire by breaking
into the house unnecessarily from without,
or, if an inmate, by opening doors or win
dove; make point OF shutting every door
after yoU as you go through the house. For
this purpose doors enclosing the staircase
are very usefal.
Upon discovering yourself on FIRE, re-
feet that your greatest danger arises from
draft to the flames, and from their rising
upward. Throw yourself on the ground,
sud roll on the flame, If possible on the rug
or loose drugget, which drag under you

the kind at hand, will serve your purpose
scream for assistance, ring the beli,' but do
not run out of the room, or remain in an

The " Opening Reception of the Catho-
lie Club Of Philadelphia few days ago,
is eaid to have been a very brilliant affair.
The house recently leased by the club was
decorated with rare exOtics and beautiful
paintings, ETC., and nearly thousand
"persOns of distinction" }" including judges,
merchants and journalists, were in attend
ance during the evening.
The objects of the club, as stated in it's
charter, are:
Primarily to afford to Catholic gen.
tlemen the advantage of union and organ
iEation in their efforts TO maintain the in
teRrity of their faith in relation to social,
morai and intellectual culture; secOndarily,
70 give aid and encouragement to the
foundation and advancement OF such Cath
ollie charities as shall deservedly claim its
attention, to which end 1t proposes to give
each year . series of lectures or other suit-
able entertainments, the net proceeds of
which shall be, wholly or in part, devoted
to the support of such institutions or un.
dertakings as his Grace, the Arch bishop of
THE dioceee, shall direct.

The diplomstists in the German capital
are trou bled about the attitude of the King
of Holland towards the German Empire.
His Majesty has never attempted to per
sOnAlly salute the German Emperor, and
his apathy towards Germany recently re-
ceived fresh illustration. The Grand
Duke of Baden, the Emperor's son-in law,
celebrated the other day. the twenty fifth
anniversary of his reign. The King of the
Belgians sent, through Baron NOthomb,
the envoy ct Berlin, an autograph letter of
congratulatiOn, and, moreover, dispatched
q special deputation TO participate in the
solemnities. The King of tho Netherlands
held entirely alOOf, and moved neither di-
rectly nor indirectly in the matter. He
was the only European sovereign who alb
stained from every mark of attention on
that occasion.

motion was made IN the House of Com
none lately in favor of publication similar
to the Congressional Record. Mr.. Bcight was in
favor of il on the ground that reporting had
greatly fallen off because most of the papers
were now penny papers, and could only pay by
their advertisements, which monopolized the
space. Sir Stafford NOrtbcOts opposed. He
spoke of a visit to Congress with Mr Sumner,
when he (sir stafford) wanted to listen to q
certain speaker, and tue Senator said, "Oh it
isn't worth it; hes talking to Lo9isiana not
to the House." Sir Stafford feared the same
thing at Westminster. MIR. (5ecretary of
War; Hardy opposed. He heard an houora
BILE member of that House speak forty seven
times in night" and protested against
every word every body said being taken down.
Every important debate was, he thought, ade-
quAtely reported. Another member stated
that of the "a reporters regularly employed in

Rev. Canon Gilbert and three other
English priests recently engaged the best
medium whom the National Association of
hiGi &c set 30 woEk. The spirits were out
of gear and needed oiling. The violin was
dumb, the table was stationary, the spirits
stayed away. The visitors assured the
medium that they were willing to wait
until midnight if he wonld undertake to
write upon a closed elate, move objects at
a distance, or do some other marvel. The
slate was opened, but it's surface was
perfect blank, and the medium's effort to
produce double self in q darkened room
was an ignominious failure. The Canon

PASSING AWAY


Passing away; passing away;
, The sweet summer roses are passing away
Their beauty is wasted, their fragrance
mas fled,
And with'ring they lie in their damp, Iowly
bed.
Tue fair, dewy morus in their spleDdor will
The pale stars glow soft in evenings clear
skies;
The cooling dew fall, and the musical rain.
Bat these roses will brighten, all, never
again!
Passing away; passing away;
Bright hopes of my youth--how they re
passing away.
With the beautiful visions that gladden. my
ewes
BY daytime and night-time as sunlight
the skies
Oh, hope may come back to my sorrowful
heart:
Bright dreams from their lon g-silent cham
beers may start.
But those of my youth | may WOO all in
For they neer will return in their beauty
again.
Passing away; passing away;
Friends / have loyeG-how they're passing
awayl
have watched them go down to that cold,
solemn tide.
While the pale, silent boatman kept close
TO their side;
I've caught the dull dip of their deep,
muffled oar,
As he bore them away to that echoless
shore,
Aud my heart cryeth out in its desOlate
pain
But they ne'er will return to bless me
againl
Passing away; passing away;
Yet | know OF a land where theirs is no de-
cay.
the balmy airs filed with the rich
est perfume
From sweet, fragrant flowers, and fadeless
their bloom;
Where the soul never grieves as it doth
here below,
Ger fair, vanished dreams, DER hopes fitful
glow,
Where linked and forever is loves golden
chain.
And parting words chill us, o, never
again.
