her face, that she had been suffering and was
even then suffering. / understood that she had
saved money In the purchase she had made, but

human bargains-goOd health.
How many women there are to-day who are
unhappy and suffering. and yet who do not fully
realize why 1t is so. They feel weak, weary and
often dscOul aged. They care little for food and
less for exercise. Their sleep is disturbed, their
minds are not at rest. They are unhappy. To
all such the following experience Will be inter-

Patrick's Feast.
The committee in charge of the arrange

lreland's patron saint in ST. PauPs parish
held a meeting last evening at the parochial
residence, Rev. NJ. ID. Connolly presiding.
The committee decided to hold the celebrass

evening. March 16, the eve OF the festival.
Heretofore the celebration was held on
the feast day itself; this year. however, as
St Patrick's day happens to fall on Friday,
1t was found necessary 10 anticipate in
order not to Interrupt the usual Friday even
ing lenten devotions. The reverend chair

the occasion, and that some of the best

volunteered 10 make the celebration worthy
OF the feast as well as of St. Paul's parish.

Th6 Use of POetry

Nearly all the other arts have an official
standing. They are endowed, perpetunted,
made part OF the apparatus of life. But we
are as inoredulous of poetry as OF the SER
pents, and the affidavits Of those who have
ssen the thing itself do not convince a

Of late has grown beyond the dreams of

THE POpE's LIBERAL POLICY.

a recent decision Of Monsignor Sa-
TOLL furnishes not only full proof OF the
extraordinary powers OF his Office, but is
further evidence of a more liberal pol
10y inaugurated by Pope Leo. 1t con-
Germs that much mooted topic in eccle-
siastical circles known as Cahenslyism,
which, in brief, means advocacy of for
eign languages exclusively in Catholic
churches and parochial schools.
At the little town of Bayonne, New
Jersey, were two parishes, of st.
Thomas and st. Henry, under the juris-
diction Of the mother parish, st. Mary.
At the former the English language was
used in religious instruction, while the
Practitioners of st. Henry were ad-
dressed alone in the German language
under what might be termed an agree
ment that no other language was to be
used there within a period OF twenty
years. Not long ago the bishop of the
diocese, a strong Cahenslyist, abolished
the parish of st. Thomas and instructed
all parishioners in Bayonne to receive
religious instruction at St. Henry.
There vas q complaint to Satolli, who,
after careful investigation, not only re-
stored the parish abolished, but ordered
that the use of Englishin ermons and
instructions at ST. Henry's. A more
significant expression was understood
to have been made in a letter from Sa-
tolll stating that one Of the cardinal
principles in the new policy would be a
change from the use Of all foreign Ian
guages to the English as speedily as
possible
The pope appears to be carrying into
execution the force of that recent terse
remark, when he said that though
he and Mr.. Gladstone were the oldest
leaders, they possessed the youngest
ideas. He proposes to strengthen the
Catholic church by making it's teachings
conform to modern conditions, Just as
Mr.. Gladstone is endeavoring to
strengthen England with her own peo-
pie by q broad policy of tolerance.
They are the two wisest politicians of
the day.

Great Catfish of tho Mississippi.

The catfish business. I confess, surprised
me - to its magnitude and the uneduoated
taste of the west with reference to fish. A
member of one Of these films told ME
that good fsh-redfsh, shespshead, etc.
were in no request and sell away below
catfish. Some pompano were sent but the
eonsignee wrote to the shipper and told him
his hogfsh were not wanted and wouldn't
sell and he could not dispose of them.
While catfish are bought at Sc per 100
pounds, the choice fish are paid less for,
and the business in theos IL insignificant.
But catfish are sent away out to Pueblo, to
Kansas City. Mo-. Lsavsnworth, kas., and
Topeka. Kss. They are skinned, disem-
bowelsd, heads out off and are packed in
boxes Of 100 pounds each. with . cake Of
ice. The variety they oatoh and ship are
the mud. blue and frsshwater cats. They
range in size from one to twenty-five
pounds.
The fshsrmen catch only in winter. They
bait with sardines, shrimps and small fish.
The fsharmen are paid Sc and upward per
l5O pounds, and, as the fish only sell for
about six cents per pound to the western
consumsr, there is not much money in it
for the Morgan City purchaser. COMPETE
ton seems sharp. bat a good deal Of trade
is worked in by way of pay. as all the mr.

The Washington correspondent Of the
Philadelphia Record says, in a letter to
that paper: "The treatment OF the out
going president and vioe-president on
inauguration day Is, it seems to me, a
survival Of the barbarous treatment Of

generals. The defeated ride to the cap
ital with the victorious side by side, to
be- sure, in the same carriages, the pres
ident and the president-elect in IL car
riage and the vice-president and vice.
president-elect in another, but neverthe-
less. it has all the elements Of the Ro-
man triumph. The president and vice.
president cannot quietly withdraw the
day before. Custom compels them to
ride, so to speak, on the chariot wheels
OF their o%onquerors and to stay with
them throughout their triumph"
And custom is right. What an alb
surd spectacle would be- presented by
the unmanly flight of the retiring off,
Gals befors the incoming administration.
There is no suggestion of the Roman
triumph business in the minds Of
people who take a proper view of u
government. The presidents and vice.
presidents and all other offioeholders are
not our rulers but our servants. We
are the sovereigns. When the SOW
ereigns decide to make q change Of SER
wants as they did last November, they
direct one set Of employees to
turn over their (the sovereign people's)
to another set. The idea Of a
president or other public servant as a
ruler and master to be Inundated by
deposition is false and vicious. No con-
querors, no chariot wheels, no flummery,
no fapdoodle, if you please.
