posthumous fame for the ill-starred Irish

OF them all there has been no scene more
romantic and more worth thinking on

PHYSICAL CULTURE.
Subject of DR.. Law-Avard's Lecture
Last Evening.


DR.. Anna Law-Avard spoke before
the Catholic Young women's club last
evening on 1.-THE Hygiene of Physical
Culture"
Rev. Miles j. McManus introduced
the speaker. 'Jn all large cities and
towns" said the doctor, provisions
should be made for free public baths.
General cleanliness Is not merely a fac
tor in the preservation of the public
health. but there Is good reason to be-
lleve that the cause of good order and
decency would likewise be prevented
by furnishing the public the means OF
easily and cheaply keeping clean"
Discussing the physiological effects
of exercise, she said: when q muscle
contracts, the flow of blood through it
Is increased. Hence contraction of a
muscle, which consumes or converts
stored up energy, at the same time
draws upon the circulation for a new
supply of food material to replace that
consumed. The activity OF the circu-
lation through a muscle in action re-
suits in increased nutrition and growth
of the muscle.
'"The scheme of studies In our pub
lie school system should include physi-
cal training for both sexes. This is a
question not merely Of Individual, but
of national Importance. Weak and un-
healthy children are not likely to grow
up into strong and healthy men and
women, and the latter are necessary
for the perpetuity of the nation"

Miss B. Lavelle sang two selections

begged and pleaded with the surgeon
to be allowed a drink of whiskey. The
medical man, a gruff and fussy indi-
vidual refused his permission and said
that drink of liquor would mean the
death of the injured man. The latter
heaved deep sigh and asked the doc
tor to lean down to him for moment.
The doctor did so, and the Scotch
man, after breathing in for a moment
or two, looked up and murmured, "Ah,
doctor. but ye're breath's refreshin'."

and labor of Scotchmen. Alexander

REPORT OF
PHILIPPINES
COMMISSION

the commission says that the deep
seated hatred Of the people must be
reckoned with. 1t would be of assist
ance to the American cause if the
Catholic church were to substitute
Americans priests, but this question
of church policy with which the COM
mission has nothing to do. Says the
report:
1T is enough to say that the political
question will be eliminated if the friars
are not sent back"
Reference is made to the subject Of
religious exercises in schools, which
has since been decided in favor of the
church. on the basis OF the Faribault
plan. The commission says:
"It is not certain that this would
completely meet the views of the
Catholic hierarchy, but it is likely it
will avoid that active hostility to a
public school system which might be
formidable obstacle in spreading
education among these Catholic peo-
ple."
The commission states that it has
no authority to grant franchises for
the construction of railways and ad-
vises this government to empower 1t
with this right, believing that the
construction of a number of roads,
backed by foreign capital, would en-
sue Immediately.
The report says that all the courts
are performing their regular functions
though in a provisional way. The
commission hopes to reorganize the
| judiciary early this year, but declares
that the establishment of a federal
| court is not within it's jurisdiction
The civil code Is stated to he adequate

versies and the regulation of all civil
