cOwardice from attempting must very
soon be undertaken, under more diff
ficult conditions, by some president
soon to be inaugurated. There will in
evitably follow reaction against this
Anglomaniac craze that is fostered by
United States. The people cannot be
fooled all the time, and all the people
cannot be fooled any of the time. The
whole claim of English tenevolence is
based on lie made in England. Liars
are always found out eventually, and
those who have been deceived by them
generally end by hating and despising
them. 1t will not be many months be-
fore England will be an object of con-
tempt. Then we shall, hear no more of
an alliance, but great deal more of
the annexation of Canada.
Another cause of the deplorable con-
dition of our merchant marine is the
cranky and unreasonable rule regard
ing admission to the American register.

difference of our merchants, who kept
paying freights with cheerfulness to en-
rich their foreign competitors. And a
fourth cause is the neglect of the Amer
lean congress to encourage ship build
Ing by substituting ocean liners in the
same way that other nations have done.
But before our ships become nu-
merous is the time to settle this bust
ness Of Canada. Before Canada is fully
fortified we should find annexation a
simple matter. Our coast cities are
pretty we'll prepared to resist bonn
bardment, and very few English ships
that would cross the sea to engage in
this business would ever find their way
back. We are superior in seamanship
to England as we are to Spain. 1t is
not the Philippine Islands that we
should annex, if. we are expansionists,
but Canada. The former territory is
outside our range, and will involve us
in endless trouble. All Anglo-men are
in favor of our selling the Philippines,
because they think that this possession
would render us dependent on English
friendship. For that reason, the pa
triots of America, those who prefer
American to English interests, should
oppose it.

Cardina! Iogue on the Rosary.

have on more than one occasion
Joined in the Rosary with the Pope in
his court in til" ,atican l have Joined
in the Rosary in the cottage of the
peasant; ] Lave seen the beads slip
through the fin2crs Of the most learned
men J. ever me- I have seen them in
the hands of he ignorant-and have
seen in all In" anne earnest, unques-
toned revercu"c Now it appears to
me impossible :hat this or any other
form Of devotion could be SO wide
spread, or inoe'1 so deeply appreciated
by men in every walk of life, if those
that practiced +. did not know from
their own expe i"ncc, from the expert
ence Of Other that it was fruitful
source of spiritual favors.
The history o. Irish Catholicity is the
history of devotion to the Holy Mother
of God. We can trace it in those
churches that have been founded by the
early Irish saints in every land which
has been blessed by their teaching. In
dark and evil days it has been the
solace and support of our fathers, draw
ing together more closely those bonds
which bound them to their grand old
faith with low stronger than death.
When the priest was slain or borne
away on the higl seas to enforced ex-
lie, when the mass and sacramento were
no longer within reach, how often have
our fathers gathered around their desc
Grated affairs, and within the crumbling
walls of ruined churches, recited the
Rosary. This devotion to the Holy
Mother OF God has chung to the cxiled
children Of our race wherever they have
sought refuge from persecution. They
have borne it away from nome in their
breaking hearts, together with love OF
the dear old land, and they have planted
it deeply and firmly in those Furnishing
young churches, il the founding OF
which they and th3ir descendants have
taken a leading part.

comes the gain of ports farther south
New York, which in 1893 handled 1871 per
2i.9 per cent of the wheat exported in

export, which in 1898 was 362 per cent

THE SUBURBANITE's PERIL.
Some of the Things That Tend TO
shorten His Life

OF a truth black care; in the shape of
some neurosis. sits ever close behind the
city horseman. The rush and hurry of
modern life the fierce struggle for ex-
istence, the unnatural condition of envi-
ronment all tend TO exhaust and sap the
nervous constitution. Perhaps one of the
chief, albeit not always the best, recog-
nized factors in the situation is the neces-
sity of rapid and far-reaching transit
Every year the bulk of city men go far
ther afield, and each morning and night
perform their tedious pilgrimage to and
from the enc az the. 7 busy ,abors. There
can be no doubt that constant railway
travelling of this kind is calculated soon-
er or later, to play havoc with the sound
est constitution.
While it is, of course, impossible to lay
down any exact rule, it may be stated
generally that no such daily railway
journey should be much over an hour in
length. a space of time that IS far more
than enough TO carry the citizen into
pure air and the most sylvan scenery.
Think of the rattle, the dust. the
draughts the bad lighting, the extremes
of temperatures, the jolting, the con-
strained attitudes, the draggle-tailed dis
comfort of the average railway carriage
to a man already exhausted with mental
worries, especially If he has Slept badly
and scamped his meals. Let the country
dwelling citizen get his physician to make
a note of the state of his nervous system,
and keep the record at hand for future
reference. AS every medical man of any
experience can testify, the attempt to
burn a candle at both ends, one in the
city and fhe other fifty or a hundred
miles away at the seaside. has cut off
many valuable life in the flower of its
maturing manhood.
