THE VIRTUES OF WALKING.

To the American girl who wishes to
keep the beauty she has, or to acquire
the beauty she has not. DR.. George F.
Shrady gives a prescription in one
Worthwhile
Sickness is destructive of good looks.
To be a chronic dyspeptic, always on
the edge of nervous collapse, and be a
charming personality at the same time
is task beyond the power of man or
woman.
OF all the forns. Of. exercise, walking
is no doubt, the.,least popular. One
reason for this is that the trolley-car
now goes everywhere net only through
the city streets, but through the coun
try fields, temp ting Us at every step of
our walk, if we af4rt on one. to get
aboard and make gGigk time.
Then, AGAIN. VS.s:szi3s is so easy and
so cheap. 1t does rot fIve 10 be learn
ed and it costs nothing. Bicycling,
golfing, horseback riding and boating
all call for a couree of instruction,
special clothing and equipments, and
are more or less expensive
And it is the thing that is most diff
cult and costs most. money that men
and women are prone to prefer. Hence
the proverb: Things that cost nothing
are worth nothing.

CARTER AND THE IRISH.
Montana Senator Delivers Stirring
Address in New York CITY.

Senator Thomas H. Carter of Mon
tana was a guest at the recent annual
banquet of the frish-American Histori-
cal society in New York. Such a
representative gathering of distin-
guished citizens is seldom seen around
a banquet table. Senator Carter adj
dressed the ASSEMBLY, in his usually
happy, humorous way and then pro-
ceeded to pay a glowing tribute to Hon.
John D. Crimmins, General O'Beirne
and General p A. Collins whom he
termed the leading Americana risihmen
of today. In eloquent language the
Montana Senator eulogized General
Thomas Francis Meagher, who died
while holding the governorship of the
territory of Montana.
Speaking to the point Mr.. Carer
ridiculed the idea that this country
was an Anglo-Saxon country. He
traced the expansion of the original
thirteen states, and the wonderful re-
sources of America.
"A new race" he said, ''has sprung
up in this country better than Saxon
of Celt. The success Of the republic is
due to the fact that it unbridles man
hood. The special purpose of the asso-
citation is to ascertain what part dear
old Ireland has played in this drama.
IT am gratified beyond expression
that this society insists on seeing JUS
tice done to the race from which we
have sprung. One of the most remark
able things was the intellectually of
the Irish race.
wherever freedoms flag is hoisted
you will find an Irishman at or near
that emblem. O'Higgins in South
America is synonymous with liberty.
ION every battlefield in North Amer
lea the Irishman is found-in poetry,
history, arts and sciences. I would net
adulate the race. The Irishman forms
only part of the American citizenship.

condition of affairs and large increase

ROSES AND RUE

/ sit in the shadow alone. sweetheart,
Your roses are scenting the air,
And 1 dream of our love troth long ago
Down in the garden there
Mar1gO.ds, hOllyhocks, princes feather,
Bowed low in the dim, soft light,
AS under the willow tree by the gate
l kissed you and said, Good night"
All, sweetheart mine with the pale, mute
lips
We have had our measure of rue;
The clouds were dark and the skies were
fair,
But YOU forever were true,
And now as 1 sit in the dark alone
l would give the world to know
The way through the years to that farof
field
Where simples for heartache grow.
Love fades, they say. when the pulse is
old,
And l am threescore and ten,
But what 1 have learned with its bitter
loss
Lies far beyond their ken;
For tomorrow they hide you away, sweet
heart
In the graveyard out of my sight,
So 1 heap the roses-God's roses-round
youn
And kiss you and say, Good night"

w. A. Chester, speaks at length of the
long prominence of the Jesuits in edu-
cational work in the Philippines
Among other things he says:
1T may surprise some of our read
ers to learn that a college was founded
in Manila before Harvard or Yale
earlier, indeed, than the common school
of New England. st. Joseph's College
was established in 1895 and graduated
its first class in 1901. Prior to 1853 it
was in charge and under the control of
the Jesuits, who were made trustees Of
the institution by its donors at the
time of it's creation. When the Jesuits
were expelled from Spain and its col
onies, the governor general declared the
property of the college forfeited, and
converted the buildings into barracks
for his soldiers. An appeal being taken
to the crown, the action of the gov
ernOr general was reversed and the
college placed under control of the Met
tropolitan Church of Manila"

ST. BLASE.

Holy Church honors on the Srd of
February one Of her noble champions in
the person of ST. Blase, who suffered
death for the faith of Christ, thus be-
coming a martyr. He was Bishop of Sc
haste, in Armenia. In his time the
Christians suffered many prosecutions,
from which the holy Bishop did not
escape. That his life might be saved
to his flock, the Saint withdrew to a
grOtto in Mount Aaeus. Here he spent
his time in penanca and prayer and
preparing his soul for the great crown
OF martyTdOm. Whilst there the ami
mails OF the forest became his friends.
They allowed him to carese them ana
followed him about wherever he went.
One day a hunter accidentally came

animals. The hunter reported him to

assured them, and said: BE not
afraid, they will do you no harm and
then he ordered them to go back. They
obeyed him and looked sadly after him
until he was out of sight. While IN his
way to prison many of the people came
to the roadside to bid him farewell and
ask his last blessing. Among them was
poor woman who carried child in her
arms. A fish bone had stuck in the
child'S throat, and the poor mother was
inconsolable, fearing that the child

HEDENoUNCEs ENGLAND.
Yale Professor Attributes Present
War to Greed.


Professor Arthur NJ. Wheeler of Yale
university spoke in denunciation of the
attitude of the British in South Africa
toward the Beers in the lecture given
Friday night in the South School hall.
Hartford Conn.
His subject was England and the
Transvaal." He said:
Whatever. be the result Of the pres
ent contest the British must lose in
the end Living on islands and sur
rounded by an almost impossible wall,
the English go through the world as
if there were nobody else in existence.
"The Dutch element was predOnni-
nant when the English took possession
of what is now Cape Colony. The Beers
were forced back into the interior. They
cultivated the soil and established in
situations, but the English came in and
took the fruits of their labor.
"One of the grievances Of the Eng
lish against the Beers is that the latter
Will not live under British rule, which
is an objectionable sin in England"
Professor Wheeler sharply criticised
the manner in which England obtained
possession of the Kimberley diamond
fields and attributed all her interior
ence in the Transvaal and Orange Free
State to greed and rapacity. Other
claims made by the English, he de-
clared, were only excuses.

FASHION NOTES.

The ruling idea for street costumes
of not being dressed for really wintry
weather, with all the necessary warmth
supplied and so cleverly disguised that
it is not suspected. There are interim
ings of channels skin and flannel in the
jaunty little bolero coats, and pretty
little quiltey satin jackets to wear I'M
derneath.
Soft and supple materials are in de-
mand for ball and evening dresses.
Formerly, when a skirt was covered
with a transparent and light material,
it was to render it more fluffy. At
present, when a light material is worn
over a silk ground, it is to render the
dress more supple and make it fall
better than it would do if the skirt were
of satin, faille or taffetas. There are
no more tulles in five or six thicknesses,
one over the other, to obtain the fluffy
appearance which they were intended
to give. These tulles are not heavy
enough, in the proper sense of the
word, for the effects that the dress
makers are seeking to obtain. Their
lightness renders them puffy, and they
do not set in graceful plaits like China
crepe, for instance. This is the ideal
material for skirts as at present con-
Quoted. Naturally, they are selected as
thin and transparent as possible when
ever an evening dress is in question.
A chic coat is of sable fur with large
reveres of the same. A jabot of lace
extends from the neck to the waist
and is ornamented with black tails
This same garment could be carried out
successfully in black velvet.

NOT A CATHOLIC SISTER.

Several days ago the daily papers
published dispatches from Kenosha,
Wis, telling the sad story of the suicide
by drowning of Sister Augusta, of the
Order Of st. Mary, formerly Miss Au-
gusta Henderson"
In nearly every instance the neWspa-
pers failed to state one important fact.
namely, that the "Order of st. Mary is
a Protestant Episcopal Sisterhood. The
Episcopal Sisterhoods are so small in
numbers and their establishments so
few that the title Sister is almost
synonymous with Catholic, and it NAV
be safely said that in failing to note
the distinction in this case the daiIy
papers .nisled 80 per cent of their read
ers, Protestants and Catholics alike.
