in Belfast. There was no attempt at
demonstration during the day. In the
evening some bands turned out and
went some distance into the country
playing national airs, and followed by

times; their happiness is as important as
your nerves.
Respect their little secrets; If they have
concealnents, worrying them will never
make them tell, and patience will prob
ably do their work.
Allow them, as they grow older, to
have opinions of their own: make them
individuals and not mere echoes.
Remember that without physical health
mental attainment is worthless let them
lead free, happy lives, which will
strengthen both mind and body.
Bear in mind that you are largely re-
sponsible for your child's inherited char
acter, and have patience with faults and
fail;ngs.
Talk hopefully to your children of life
and it's possibilities; you have no right to
depress them because you have suffered
Teach boys and girls the actual facts of
life as soon as they are old enough to un-
derstand the1n and give them the sense
of responsibility without saddening them.
Find out what their special tastes ara
and develop them, instead of spending
time, money and patience in forcing them
into studies that are repugnant to them.
AS long as it is possible, kiss them good
night after they are in bed; they do like
it SO, and it keeps them very close.
If you have lost child, remember that
for the one that is gone there is no more
to do; for those remaining, everything;
hide your grief for their sakes.
impress upon them from early infancy
that actions have results, and that they
cannot escape consequences even by being
sorry when they have acted wrongly.
AS your daughters grow up, teach them
at Least the true merits of housekeeping
and cookery; they will thank you for it
in later life great deal more than for &C.
cornplishments.
Try and sympathize with girlish flights
OF fancy, even if they seerl absurd to
you; by so doing you will retain your i'll"
fluence over your daughters and not
teach them to seek sympathy elsewhere.
Remember that, although they are all
your childrerl, each one has an individual
character, ard that tastes and qualities
vary indefinitely.
Cultivate them separately, and not as
il you were turning them out by ma
chinery.
Encourage them to take good walking
exercise Young ladies in this country
are rarely good walkers. They can dance
all night, but are tired out if they walk g.
mile. Girls ought to be able to walk as
easily as boys. Half the nervous diseases
which aftlict young ladies would disap~
pear if the habit of regular exercises were
encouraged.
Keep up high standard of principles;
your children will be your keenest Judges
in the future Do be honest with them
in small things rs well as in great. II
you cannot tell them what they wish to
know, say so rather than deceive them.
Reprove your children for tale-bearing; !;
a child taught to carry reports from the
kitchen to the parlor is detestable.
Send the youngster to bed early: decide
upon the proper time and adhere to it.
Remember that visitors praise the chill

they deserve it, and that their presence is

St. Patrick's day was quietly OBJ
served at Lurgan. There was no at
tempt in the direction of public dis
play of any kind. The holiday was
marked by exceptionally severe wea'
ther. There was considerable influx
from the rural districts, and the sew
eral services in the church were at
tended by large congregations. The
priests at all the masses of the day
counselled their flock to abstain
strictly from any outdoor manifesto
tions.

high mass, Messrs. James Mcmahon,
James Collins and John Dignam, on

made s. suitable reply.

Fish Ponds i'm saxony.

In travelling through saxony, SAYS q
correspondent, one is struck with the
large number Of ponds of all sizes which
stud the fields in every direction.
Whether these ponds are the result of
accident or design, they are as carefully
tended as are the fields themselves
They, too, are a source of income to their
owners. They teem with carp, tench
and other fish that will thrive in sluggish
water, which are taken out in the fall
and sold at prices ranging from 10 to 20
cents per pound. The ponds are then
re stocked with young brood, which
costs from 90 cents to $1.25 per hun
dred, according to size. These fish are
left to shift for themselves until they are
year old, when they are generally large
enough for the market. In winter the
ponds yield a crop of ice which is readily
disposed of at fair price. Where theft
services are not required to turn mil,
they at least serve as watering places for
the cattle, and where they are situated
near a village or hamlet they even feed
the hand engine in case of fire. Where
these ponds are made the land taken fol
the purpose generally is unsuited fol
other purposes.

A CeIebrated Calf Case.

The famous Jones County calf case has
Just been disposed of by the Supreme
Court of Iowa This is one of the most
remarkable cases on the records of
American courts, and furnishes a strik-
ing illustration of what an expensive
luxurya little satisfaction obtained in
legal form may prove to be. Twelve
years ago Green County farmer went
to Jones County and bought some calves
of a man named Johnson. They were
probably stolen, but Johnson claimed to
have bought them from a third party
johnson was prosecuted by the Anti
Horse Thief Association, but was ac-
quilted. He sued for $40, 600 damages,
and the case has been tried five times,
and each time, except one, he has re-
ceived a verdict for from 81, 600 to ST..
800, which was always set aside. Ht
appealed to the Supreme Court, and the
verdict has been revised, giving him NJ
damages. The court costs are now S3,
300, while the expenses on both sidel
amount to at least $40, 600, aud severa
persons have been ruined by the expenses
of the case.
The value ofthe calves was ffty dollars
