Catholicism in Great Britain.

We sometimes reprOach ourselves
with not making sufficiently rapid ad-
vance in Great Britain, but when all
things are considered-the prejudices
and bigotry that have to be combated.
the comparative lack of worldly resour-
ces amongst the Catholic population,
and the manv other drawbacks calcu
lated to hinder progress-it must be
acknowledged that we have some cause
for looking at our present position with
satisfaction. The Moniteur de Rome,
which contained last week an article on
Catholicism IN England" states that
in the year 1900 there were only 10000
Catholics in England and Scotland. In
1910 the number was 100000; in 1880,
l 100000; and in 1890 it is. 1892, 900. By
the beginning of the twentieth century
the number will. no doubt. considerably
exceed two millions that is to say, that
at the end of the century the Catholics
of this country will be twenty times
more numerous than they were at it's
commencement.

the stick on each wart and then buried
it in the barnyard until it rots- That

on the warts and then stick him on q

nights and the snails and the warts will
be dead together.

of the meeting. Get 'em on when no

APPARITION OF OUR LADY.
The Miracle That Happened at 0astel
Petroso IN 1888.

Castel PetrOsO is a small village sit
mated upon the side of a mountain in
the Province of Campo asso III Southern
Italy, and is more than $500 feet above
the sea level. It is of very ancient
origin, and, as the name signifies, all
the surrounding territory is rocky to a
degree, so that the poor mountalneers
who inhab1t it with great labor produce
the necessarles of life. The climate is
also severe, the snow often falling
nearly for five months of the year. This
obscure alpine spot, scarcely known to
neighboring towns which are themselves
mere names beyond their own Province,
has, however, become very famous
throughout Italy the last two years from
the miraculous apparition Of Our Lady.
and the sudden gushing forth Of Q min
eral spring whose healing powers are
said to be miraculous, so that pilgrim
ages to Castel Petroso are becoming
very frequent. The miracle happened
on March Is. 1888. Two peasant women,

collecting their sheep after sunset. when

WILD WESTERN JUSTICE.
why q Tough Citizen Failed to Keep His

why q Tough Citizen Failed to Keep His
Appointment.
In one of the frontier settleme nts IL
the Wild West German cobbler was
elected police Justice. His reputation
as an honest toiler was we'll established,
but his legal knowledge and sense OF
humor were so far of unknown quanti-
ties.
One of his first cases was that of q
tough citizen who was duly arraigned
for breach Of the peace. The Justice
heard the evidence in the case and pro-
nounced sentence of three months in
Jail. This so enraged the defendant
that he ended a vigorous abuse of the
court by promising to call on him
promptly that day three months and
prepare him for first-class funeral
The Judge heard this abuse silently.
and then, without any emotion. cogitatod
as follows:
we'll, you kills me to-day three months
ago, will you? Let me see: This is Au-
gust first Three months will be No
vember first. Thanksgiving will be
twenty-fifth. will miss my Thanks
giving dinner. Christmas is next !
will miss Christmas, too. Six months
from August first will be Shanuary. I
makes it six months, und den you kills
me, will it? You shust 60 right away to
Jail six months, and then see you any
more shoust shoot you so full of lead
it will take Won steam derrick to lift
you down to your grave. You hear me?'
The six months were up long ago, and
the Justice still sits upon his cobbler's
bench when not dispensing justice from
his official seat. The tough citizen is
presumably herding cattle in Arizona.
