IRELAND COMES HOME.
The Archbishop Contrasts the
Condition of the Poor in Eu-
rope and America.

New York, July 28.-Among the pas
steamer Britannia from Liverpool and
Queenstown was Archbishop Ireland.
The archbishop said that he had had
q delightful time while abroad and had
met many notable people. Asked If he
would say anything about the reconstruc-
ton of the Catholic church in Cuba, Por-
to Rico and the Philippines, the arch
bishop replied that that was ancient his
tory.
while I was away | see you have
buried Ingersoll,' said Mgr. Ireland, but
he made no further remark on the sub
ject
The archbishop, who is greatly inter
eSted III labor matters, said: The con-
trast between the masses in this country
and the masses in the old world and out
of the church is more remarkable now
than ever, l think. The American poor
are happier and 100 per cent. more in
telligent. Their surroundings are better,
their chances are better. Where there
is one case of misery here there are hun
dreds abroad, and by abroad l mean Eng
land as we'll as the continent"
Regarding the peace conference at The
Hague the archbishop said: Il learned
with considerable satisfaction of the COM
pletion OF the conference. | have taken
a great deal of interest in the gather
ing. and, unlike some others, think the
result has been most commendable. [ am
not talking as one who has skinned the
surface of the question. l may unboast-
lngly say that l know all about the con-
ference, having studied it from first to
last.
4 regard the latest cabled news as
to Salisbury's refusal to sign until the
smaller countries had affixed their sig
natures as an uncommonly shrewd move
on the part Of Great Britain, because it
will undoubtedly force the Transvaal
into the agreement"

INTERVIEW WITH CHAMBERS.
Explains the Relative Attitude OF
MaIietoa and Mataafa.

San Francisco, Cal, July 2S.-Chief
Justice w l.. Chambers of Samoa ar
rived here today on the steamer Moana,
accompanied by his. family. He is on a
four months leave OF absence but says
that his business in the United States is
Of such Il nature that he Will probably
not return to Apia.
In an interview the chief justice said:
"All is now quiet in Samoa, but l cannot
answer for the future. Both Mataafa
and Malietoa affect to be satisfied with
the present arrangement which abOlisheS
the office Of king and vests the response
bility of government in the cOnSuls of the
three powers | feel sure Malietoa is
sincere in this. Though fairly elected,
and after election accepting the kingShip,
he never had ambitions in that direction.
AS soon as the commission arrived he
proposed to resign, a spirit which later
proved to be in accordance with the plans
of the commissioners, and | have every
reason to believe that he will live up to
his bargain.
"Mataafa is ambitious For many
years he has thirsted for power, and will
not be so easily satisfied. At the same
time he is d man of exceptional ability,
is shrewd, and | have never thought the
interests of the natives would especially
suffer in his hands.
Yes, my decision has been sustained
by the commission. With respect to
the future J. can say little. There
is the problem. In it's work the col~mis-
sion has endeavored to eliminate from
the original arrangement all features
that have appeared faulty or weak
Those sections have simply been struck
out, leaving nothing in their places.
What will rob the whole document of
proper effectiveness is the tri-parfite
treaty under which it will have to oper-
ate. | am sure that no government in
Samoa will succeed under such an ar
rangement. The sooner the powers see
this and formulate some correction, the
bteter for all concerned

MEATS FOR OCEAN VOYAGERS
Ten Tons of Beef and Two of Chickens
Besides Sixteen Hundred Birds,

Away down in the bottom of the ship
the chief steward has a market of his
own, one which he has stocked and from
which he draws, thus serving in the dou-
BILE capacity of merchant and customer -
writes Helen C.. Candee, describing
Housekeeping on an Ocean Steamship
in the Ladies Home Journal. Here is
an enormous refrigerator, presided
over by a steward who is responsible
for every pound of meat within it. Be
fore the ship slips from the dock this
room is stocked for a full ship, with
twenty thousand pounds of beef, two
thousand pounds of veal and three thou
sand pounds of mutton. From hooks
along the walls and ceiling of another
refrigerator hang punches of birds, very
much as dried corn and peppers hang
from the rafters of old farmhouses As
many chickens as can be tied together
are hung until four thousand pounds are
slowed away. Ducks are not as popular
as chickens, therefore seven hundred
pounds only are provided-about one hun
dred pounds allowance for each day
Turkeys are liked, and one thousand
pounds must be provided for the demands
of the cook. Pigeons, squads and other
small birds, these are reckoned in pieces,
and it is calculated that the family
which floats across the ocean will deyour
sixteen hundred BIRDS

1t is not "all in the child,'' by any
means. With the majority of children
there is a natural impulse toward that
form OF independence which brings the
child into conflict with the parental dis
cipline, no doubt; but it is very largely
the manner in which this discipline is
exercised which determines whether the
parent or the child is to be the real
master of the situation" In one home,
the word of the mother, expressed with
kindness but hrmneSs, is the accepted
and respected law of the child. In an
other, few are the minutes which pass
unpunctuated by reprOofs, threats, scOld-
ing-in none of which has love or dig
nifty q share. The threats fall on callous
ears, for long experience has shown the
child that they are ''mere words As
is we'll said by a recent writer: every
thing has been said as a matter of Gus
tom, without any intention of carrying
out the threats. Instead, the child has
received endless sermons upon his dis
obedience and obstinacy. The recrimina-
TONS the reproaches, last so long that
the small offender gets irritated with the
everlasting seedlings; and the parents,
on their side, lose what little authority
they have in continual nagging and fault
finding Soon other incidents present
themselves, to be followed by fresh dis
obediences, and a still longer discourse:
there is never a moment of respite for
ANYBODY! All! if the child does not be-
come enra ged, it is because he is think
ing of something quite. different when
one is finding fault with him" Good
Housekeeping.
The Blue Blood OF France.
Those people who keep in mind the ex-
hibition of cowardice made by some of
the Partisan men Of fashion at the burn
ing of the charity bazaar in Paris not so
long ago cannot have been altogether
surprised by the recent attack on PreSi-
dent LOubet by a group of the younger
French Royalists. Both episodes give a
pathetic illustration of the present condi-
ton of the old French nobility, which,
IN spite Of its adversltles, maintains it's
contemptuous pride and its scorn for the
principles of the republic. The attack
served a good end, however, not merely
in bringing disgrace on 4 dangerous ele-
ment in French politics, but in showing
the prompt efficiency of the government
and the strength of public feeling in the
Presidents favor. It is interesting, too,
as a sign that the French Royalists are
feeling the modern spirit of unrest, and
are growing impatient with their long
exclusion from the power which they con-
slider their right. For many years now
they have been keeping in the back
ground and very little has been heard of
them. Their position has a certain pa
thos and picturesqueness which ought to
invite the skill of some of the French
writer's. Most of these writer's, however.
know very little of the life in the ex-
elusive Faubourg Saint German. One
of the best studies of this life, by the
way, has been made by our own novel
list, Henry James, in ''The American =
Readers who want to know just how the
jewellers in that Faubourg cOmport them
selves could not do better than to con-
suit that extremely clever work.-Col-

The cutting Of mats for pictures is a

to 81 day. Any amateur who has tried
with penknife to remove the inside of a
piece of cardboard, leaving the border to
ornament picture and frame, will appre-
ciate the utter impossibility7 of making a
satisfactory job. The other day a Broad
way picture dealer employed well-rec-
commended mat cutter, starting him off
with fifty expensive pieces of board to
work on. At the close of business forty
had been destroyed, and of the remain
ing ten only three were fit for use.-New
