A CATHOLIC PRIEST

family, to have his life insured, and
not have the widow or dependent

ted to the very earth in seeking the
charity OF this or that organization.
We Catholics show heart in our liberal
support OF charitable institutions, but
we could show more wisdom by remov-
ing many Of the causes which make
them necessary.
Charity is charity No matter how
warm it may be, there is always an
element Of cold comfort in il when
brought home to our families. Some
men seem to be perfectly insensible to
the possible needs of others. They
follow out selfish and narrow policy.
Among the worst of men must be rank
ed those who wilfully refuse to provide
for their own families. We should
strive to be practical, and in this we
can learn wisdom from the shrewd

matters very far behind. Not very
long ago was present at The death Of
a comparatively young man who left
his widow and five children TO be pro-

his wife had persuaded him to ssiscon-

New York, Aug, Pas. NJ. T.
The movement to fight the beef trust,
which originated with the butchers in
this city is spreading. Butchers in
Boston, Providence, cities have become
interested and have written here for
more particulars of the antitrust move
ment. Retailers in Brooklyn will meet
tonight to discuss plans for joining IN
the fight. Louis Wagner, president OF
the New York Retail association, is
pleased with the progress made toward
establishing independent slaughter
houses in his city. The subscriptions
have reached more than 5000, 900.
Several capitalists are interested In the
scheme, and it is likely they will join
hands with the butchers. A committee
appointed by the butchers expect to
have a conference with John ID. Rock
efeller soon. President Wagner, when
asked why capitalists like Rockefeller
should back the antitrust movement,
said there was no question but big
profits could be made after prices to
the public had been put back to old
figures.

FUTURE OF THE R
when II VIII he Superseded by Elec-
trIcity In bearing Mems
burdens.

For the future the automobile holds
out the promise of a city practically
free from the maddening street noises
that make modern urban existence
more or less a torture. Cobble pave
ments are laid to resist metal tires and
the pounding of steel-shod horses.
With every vehicle motor-driven, and
every wheel pneumatic-tired, all pave
ments can be of asphalt. Not only will
the rumbling of heavy trucks and the
clatter of hoof beats disappear, but
there will be no more tracks to cut up
the streets, since electric o%mnibuses,
carrying as many people and moving
as swiftly as the electric cars of to-day,
will take the place of street railways.
Having already conquered the rail, cleo
tricity will then have made itself mas
ter Of the highway as well. Rapid
transit for long distances being sup
piled by electric trains in clean, cool,
brilliantly lighted subways, the ele-
waited roads will be no more. The re-
moyal of the horse from the streets will
not only make them noiseless, but will
practically solve the problem OF street
cleaning and greatly improve the san
itary conditions of urban life, reducing
the amount of street refuse to a mini
mum. With clean, smooth thorough
fares, through which swift, air-shod,
casy-riding vehicles dart noiselessly, it
will no longer be necessary to seek the
country for rest and quiet.
Once the horseless age is in full sway,
every man will have his WI automo-
bile, and the bicycle, which has already
to some extent supplanted the horse,
will in turn be shelved, SAVE for pur-
poses of sport. With the universal de-
velopment of sources of supply Of cleo
tricity, the Clectromobile will take the
place of all other forms of traction, and
plugs will be provided in the streets
from which the automobilist may take
his supply of power by a nickel-in-the'
slot device, while along rural highways
power stations will be established, sc
that journeys of any distance may be
undertaken. Even on the farm, auto.
wains will do the heavy burden carry.
ing. The horse may still be harnesseC
to the pillow, may still furnish sport OF
the race course and riding exercise fol
the few, but no longer will he be thu
chief bearer of mans burdens, Who
will say he has not earned his rest?-

TEN BILLION FISH.
HIg School of Goldfish Near the hasl-
atrom on LofOteA,
Norway.

Lofoten is celebrated the world over
as a point from which tourists may wilt
ness the midnight sun, and because here
also is to be found that wonderful
whirlpool which Poe made famous In
his descent Into the Maelstrom."
But to the Scandinavians the place
is honored chiefly because within a ra-
dius of a few miles Of the islands are
captured all Of the Goldfish from which
millions of gallons Of cod-liyer oil are
made and sent all over the world, to the
end of building up innumerable run
down" human constitutions.
The Goldfish arrive on the coast Of Nor
way during January and February, and
the run continues until the end OF
April. Over 10000, 600 900 Goldfish were
estimated TO have crowded into n
ford recently. Yet this was only one
school in hundreds. The average sea-
sons catch at Lofoten alone ranges
from 100000 900 to 100000 depending
not on the supply Of fish, but on the
variable weather conditions.
1t is probably the advantageous for
nation of the land that causes the fish
TO come to Lofoten every year. The
Lofoten islands extend in a rocky chain
along the northwest coast Of Norway.
The arm of the sea which divides them
from the coast is called the Vestfjord.
The islands themselves are separated
from one another by narrow channels,
through which the sea rushes with the
force of a torrent every time the tide
rises and falls.
there are a few inlets or small fjords
which run inland from the NestfJord'
IL is in these waters that the Goldfish
come every year to spawn. The fish
generally swarm on the banks sur
rounding the islands, but sometimes
a school will wander into n of the
inlets, and then it is that terrific crowd
ing occurs.
The Ostnoesfjord is an inlet nine
miles in length and one mile in width
Ten billion of fish crowded themselves
, into this narrow strait, and, because o.
lack of swimming space, were compelled
to stay there nearly three weeks. BE
tween the depth of 16 and 40 fathom
: the fish were packed together so close
" as to leave barely sufficient room u
move, and the crews of $500 boats wer'
constantly at work hauling fish away.
There may have been more than 10
