their reaoh seventy thousand rifles with
which to march upon the Parliament at
Dublin should such an event come
round. Meantime, even in Belfast,
they seem to be losing what power they
had in the past. Tie City Council

to fine and imnr1son anyone who utters
on the street in future such cries as ITO

How the Residents Of Jamaica Cleared
Their Lands Of Rats.
Ten or fifteen years ago one or two
residents of Jamaica imported this AMI.
NAL from the East Indies with a view
of pitting him against the rats. which
did enormous mischief in the cane
pieces. In attaining this object they
were perfectly successful. The mon
goose found himself in land peculiarly
ADAPTED to his health and habits. He
increased and multiplied exceedingly
and achieved q complete victory over
the rats, which were driven neck and
crop out Of the canes. Whereas the ex.
pense caused by rats used to amount to
e15O and g200, or even more. a year in
each estate, it is now practically NIL,
and when, as now, every form Of saving
must be taken advantage Of to secure

Hebrew being really those of their

ian Pentateuch. On their return from
captivity their ordinary language be-
came Syro- Chaldaic, but7after the con
quests Of Alexander, Greek became
the prevailing language, although the
Syriac continued to be spoken. In
the time of our Lord Greek seemed to
predominant, the Scriptures were cur
rent in the Septuagint version; the
Apostles all, except perhaps Matthew,
wrote in Greek, and cited the Greek
translation of the Scriptures. When
our Lord in the Synagogue took the roll

He should be so learned. When on the
cross He pronounced a passage of, the
Psalms in Hebrew, the Jews did not

but mistook it for Elijah" Hebrew
was then unknown except to the
learned;: Greek was the State and off

The people as Irish and Gaelic and
Welsh do in the British Isles. Our Lord
spoke both Syriac and Greek, and used
either according to the prevailing Gus
tom of the district in which He hap
pelled to be. He would thus naturally
speak in Greek at Jerusalem, the CAPT
tai, where it was generally known, and
where there we've many synagogues, es-
pecially for the Hellenes or Greek
speaking Jews, while in the provinces,
and at Capharnaum, where He was so
often, He probably spoke Syriac It is
most probable that in addressing His
mother and the Apostles He spoke the

BRITISH PRISON RULES.

They Are More Severe Than Those Of
ANY Other Country.
The British penal system is. though
in some respects the most equal, unques-
tionably the most severe. The INSIDE
meanant sentenced to two years impris-
onment with hard labor can not obtain a
single days remission by good conduct.
and he is not allowed to spend in prison
the smallest fraction Of the money which
he earns. His choice of work is also
limited mostly to matmakipg, tailoring
and shoemaking. He may be skilled
mechanic or artist, or matchmaker,
turner, carver. engraver, miniature pain.
ter or draughtsman- he will find no en-
ployment for his talents within jail, and
may, in fact, be set to work which will
spoil his hand and for time cripple his
power of earning his living after his dis
charge. The felon condemned to penal
servitude stands in the same case with
respect to work. He may earn promo.
ton to first and second class, with small
improve ,oents in his diet and eventually
. ticket Col9aye. by good marks. but
unfitness for y. task allotted to him. or
i'll health, may render him incapable Of
earning the daily maximum of eight
marks, and thus place him at d1sadvant-
age beside old and cunning prison
''hands." In all foreign countries the
discretionary powers allowed to prison
governors for the treatment of their cap
tives are much greater than with ue.
This. no doubt, opens the door to good
deal of favoritism, but where the COVER
nor is man of experience and just mind
the continental system must operate
more humanelYsthan our own hard-and-
fast rules can possibly do.
There is no question about which the
opinions of prison reformers have been
so divided as about the effects of solitary
confinement. In England it has been
ruled that prisoner sentenced to penal
servitude can not be safely confined in
solitude for more than nine months. In
Germany and Austria the term of soil
tude IS two years. In Belgium pris-
oner sentenced to travaux forces former
~ had the option between solitary con-
fnement and association; and if he chose
the former, one-third of his penalty was
RENTED without reference to other re-
missions which he might earn by good
conduct. As it was found that all pris-
oners elected for solitary confinement,
the right of option has now been with
drawn; but the remission is still granted,
so that in Belgium sentence of fifteen
years penal servitude means practically
ten, It must be added that in Belgium
the time which q prisoner has spent in
custody before sentence is deducted from
the term Of punishment-a justprovision
which ought to be adopted in all coun-
tries, Temple Bar.

BLESSING n Grant. Monument Erect to
AN Indian Maiden.

| AN Indian Maiden.
A large number IF Catholics from
New York and Canada assembled re-
Gently at La Prairie, Canada, TO witness
| the ceremony of blessing granite
! m on ument which has been. placed over
the grave of Katri Tegakwitha, a
| sanity Indian maiden Of the Mohawk
tribe. Bishop McNeirny of Albany,
of6ciated, and Archbishop Fabre and
other Canadian Prelates were present.
There were three serlnons--one in Eng
lish, one in French, and one IN Iroquis-
| the last preached by Father Burtin, an
Oblate missionary.
Katri Tegakwitha was born in Osser-
nenon, Auriesville, N. Y, in 1866. She
was baptized 1T Caughnawaga. Fonda,
N. Y, in 1876, she. having been con-
verified to Christ ianity by the Jesuit
missionaries. who then had stations
along the line of New York from the
Hudson to Lake Erie. Prosecutions
after her conversion compelled her to
70 the south bank Of the St.#Lawrence,
where village of Indian converts had:
been planted by the missionaries. She
died on April II, 1880, at the age of "a.
She was buried where sac spent the
last four years Of her life. Her grave
has been place Of devotion ever since.
Among the French and the Indians she
has had the reputation Of a saint.
About a year ago heavy, granite
monument was placed over her grave
by devout admirers in Albany.
The last Plenary Council of Bal timore
solicited the Pope to permit the cause
Of the Indian girls canonization to be
introduced, but, according to the rules
OF. the Congregation Of the Propaganda,
as she died in Canada, the matter must
be taken up there. The present move
ment is step in that direction. Rev.
Clarence A. Walworth OF St. Mary's
Church, Albany, is especially interested
in the canonization Of Katri, and q
member of his family has written a life
Of the Indian girl.

They both passed eighty per cent. of
the candidates they sent up, whereas
the general average of the university
was fifty per cent St. Xavier's Col
lege sent up 20 and passed IS, in the
first division, s in the second, and / in

10 candidates Of st. Xavier's were sue
cessful 10 in the past course and in
the honor course. Special mention
must be made Of two Christian students
who greatly distinguished themselves.
j. Patel of St. Xavier's, holds the first
rank among all the B. A.'a of the uni
versity this year, for he carries triple
honors; first division in English,
Latin and philosophy, heading the lists
Of tho successful candidates. in Latin
and philosophy, and standing second
in English. j. Friend-Pereira passed
with double honors frst division in
Eng -ish and second in Latin. II is
gratifying to find that out Of the six
first division students in English two
are students Of ST. Xavier's; the second
and the fourth.
