The travel to Europe this year is
twenty per cent. heavier than it ever was
before, even during the days of the
French Exposition. This is attributed
to the fact that the charges at our own
watering places have grown so heavy,
while European travel on the other hand
has become cheaper. Notwithstanding
its cheapness. however, the summer ex-
Odus to Europe carried yearly millions
of dollars from this country, almost as
much money, indeed. as the emigrants
landing on our shores bring to America.

European nations, after centuries Of
neglect, seem TO be turning their atten-

Ottoman empire leaves North Africa q

It often happens under the prevailing
system by which the government offices
are dispensed as rewards for parti

One good, at least, the wretch Gui-
teau has done. He has, says the St.
Louis Republican, set strong current
running counter to the mawkish senti
ment which has developed so much
sympathy for murderers of late. Es-
pecially has his act illustrated the danger
of too readily accepting the plea of in
sanity as excuse for crimes where there
is no real insanity more than any un-
usual fiendishness or passion indicates.
That sort of insanity that prompts
murder is much more often better
treated by the gallows than the rulings
Of courts, the fnespun theOrizing OF
medical experts and the findings OF
iuries would indicate. Society needs to
be educated up to an appreciation of the
fact that the highest object of the law is
protection to the community, and that
it has really nothing to do with punish
ing criminals except in so far as punish
ment is measure of self-protection
There are times when society cannot
afford to give life to an insane murderer
any more than it can to mad dog
These lunatics can advisedly be sent tc
the halter to make an example that will
repress similar insane tendencies in Other
lunatics

A Rule OFBlight.

British rule in Ireland has been a
rule of blight almost as bad as that of
the Sublime Prte over many Turkish
Provinces. NJ, Jennings, in a recent
dispatch to tie New York World, says
of the late census returns for Ireland;
''The returns since the union in 1901
are as follOws 1901, 5,305, 900; 1911,
5, 937, 900: 1921, 6,S01 900; 1881, z, 1871.
600; 1S41, S.175, O00 Then came the
terrible famine years, when over $780,
900 persons persisted of hunger or disease,
or fled to escape them. The population
in 1851 was 552 900; in 1861. $685.
900; in 1871, SAL 900, and in 1881. &C
cording to the returns just issued, 5, 160,-
000 showing a decrease in the last forty
years of no less than 5000, 900 souls. In
some districts in Connaught and Nun

populated in all the population has
been terribly thinned out. In west Cork,
on the vast estates of the Countess Of
Kingston at Mitchelstown, there are two
hamlets absolutely deserted. The little

day, exclusive of the pilgrims, there are
not thirty all told. The Limerick re.
turns tell similar story-the roof tree
fallen IN upon the cabin, roofless tene-
ments, the market cross broken, grass
growing in the streets, the silence of
desolatiOn. In scores of baronies in the
west and south nearly all the young men
and women have gone to America or
England; those left to till the land are old
people who prefer to die where their
fathers died In some parishes the poor
house contains almost as many people as
there are outside of it. The census re-
turns do not, however, show the full ex-
tent of the depopulatiOn. AT least $780,
900 agricultural laborers cross to Eng
land and Scotland every year for har-
vest; they live in Ireland, but Ireland
does not provide them with their living.

HI OLD COUPLE.


The years have faded and we are old
The beautiful years, so, glad, 50 sweet
And the story of life is almost told,
That the strength of love hath made com
plete.
Not with the sadness of vain regret
Because our day is nearly spent,
We wait in the hours left us yet
But rich in the fullness Of content.
Sorrows many have come and gone,
Crosses many we've had TO bear
Yet as the years sped on and on,
spent together, they seemed SO fair.
Humble hath been our station here,
Riches have never come to our lot;
Aet love, which casts away all fear,
Hath hfe's best gifts denied us not.
Your face hath lost the roses Of youth,
Your forehead s~ wrinkled, your hair is white
Yet beautiful with the light of truth,
Your eyes look into mine own tonight.
So will we bide, good wife and true,
happily as we have of yore,
Doing what comes for us to do,
TIL our pleasant journey at last is Ger.
with the morning CLEANS hath passed AWAY /;
Never to part. and young again
with a youth that time cannot decay.
SO wear your sweetest smiles, good wife,
And speak as ever, your words of cheer
Forgetting all worriment and strife
In the blessings sent by our Father dear.
For though We are old our hearts are young
And though we are feeble, eur love is strong:
Ana never was song by singer Jung
One-nalf so sweet as our nfe's full song,
Inat giaddens the evening time with light,
Filling all loneliest hours with peace.
Thrilling our hearts with a Joy tonight
VI Q melody which ne'er shall cease.

We believe, says the Sacramento Record
Union, that when the excitement has sub
sided and it is possible to arrive at the
facts, it will be found that the amount Of
damage inflicted by the food has been very
much less than was at first reported. At
such times there are always eompensations
even for the most downright losses, and
flood years invariably prove fertile and
prosperous ones. 1t is not probable that
the bulk Of the farming Ian now under
water will lose a c~ropentlrely this year, es-
pecially as the water IS now failing very
rapidly. A great part OF the wheat and
stock has been secured, and though many
houses have been destroyed, it is probable
that few if anv Of them contained much
valuable personal property.
