The Good Woman's Wish.

Archbishop-elect John M. Farley en-
joys a good story as well as the next,
and when passing a social hour some
times recounts his experiences. At a
dinner given to the Very Rev. Dean
Liags in Yonkers several weeks ago
the Bishop related the following to
the delectation of the assembled
guests: 1T was shortly after | had
been made vicar general or monsig-
nor-I do not remepber which-when
an aged Irish woman encountered me
on the street. She was a good old
soul and had been a member of our
parish church for years. Grasping me
by the hand, she remarked: oh,
father, and sure the Lord bless you !;
| hear they gave you rise l re-
piled that her information was cor
rect. Well she responded, AN I'm
pleased for that; it's yourself that
deserves the rise thanked the good
woman sincerely, and was about to
leave her, when, still holding my
hand, she remarked: And all | hope
is that the next rise they give you
will be to heaven"

The Press an Americanizer.

The progress of Americanization of
the thousands of immigrants to this
country advances naturally because of
association, but another factor is
limited at in the report of the census
bureau on the newspapers printed
here in languages other than English.
In the United States there were pub
lished in 1900, 1874 papers in Eng
lish, as against 13,S4S in 1890,
an increase of about "a per cent. Dur
ing the same period the number
printed in other tongues declined from
a,O53 to 1,O26, although the number
of immigrants increased 1,210,538 dur
ing the decade. The inference drawn
from these comparisons is that more
OF the foreign population are reading
the publications printed in English,
and in this way learning faster the
language and customs of the country,
and that they are depending less upon
the languages with which they are ia
miliar. AS to the nationalities that
are making the greatest progress in
this direction it would appear, from
the decline in their papers, that the
Dutch are in the lead, notwithstand-
ing that they are inclined to settle
in colonies, where the tendency nat
urally would be to continue the Gus
toms and language of the mother
country. Next to these are the
French. most of whom are from Can
ada, and are fast becoming American
lied, even in many cases to the adop-
tion of American names. The Ger
mans also are quick to learn the Ian
guage of the country and there are
ia fewer papers printed in German
than there were 10 years ago.

While settlements and all those who
are eager to advance the condition of
the poor spend unlimited time in fur
thering schemes to give east side boys
a chance to play, no one thinks of the
poor, unfortunate boys who live in the
better class flats on the west side Yet
their case needs looking into even more
than the boys of the slums, for the lat
ter, at least, have the freedom of the
streets. The fiat boys have no public
Fairgrounds. They cannot play before
their own doors, because the janitors
won't have them there; they cannot
play across the street, because the jan
ltor there chases them, and so it is with
every spot on the streets. Even the
centre of the road is restricted, for
they could play ball there if the law
did not forbid. AS natural result,
therefore, Satan finds mischief for
them to do, which usually gets them
under the eyes OF the policeman, and,
indeed, often leads to, serious trouble,
and another boy gone wrong. AS one

THE WORLDS COFFEE SUPPLY.
Threc-Fourths of All That ls Used
Comes From Brazil

Coffee was originally indigenous to
Abyssinia, from whence it was intro
duced in Ceylon and Java. but since
it's introduction into the West Indies
and South America it's original hab-
itat has almost been forgotten. It's
cultivation in it's native home has
been completely neglected. Brazil is
now the most important coffee pro-
ducing country of the world, produc-
ing, according to the Government
Crop Reporter" almost three-fourths
of the annual crop. Brazils position
with reference to the coffee market
is much like that which this country
occupies as regards corn. Similarly
while Chicago is the chief corn mart
of the world. Santos, in the State of
San Paulo, Brazil is the chief coffee
mart. From this point about one-third
of the worlds coffee commerce orig

In cases where bronchitis has become

/. In cases where bronchitis has become
chronic from want of proper treatment in
the earlier stages, there is nothing so good
as DR.. August Koenig's Hamburg Breast
Tea, in conjunction with which is strongly
advised the use of st. Jacobs Oil as an out
ward application along the front of the
throat, from close up under the chin to
well down to the top of the chest; the one
remedy assists the other, and as intended,
they work in complete unison. The won
derful penetrating power of st. Jacobs Oil
enables it to reach the adhesion of foreign
matter which lines the bronchial tubes
and which makes breathing more and
more difficult. As these adhesions become
infamed and enlarged, St, Jacobs Oil
causes such adhesions to break away,
making expectoration easier and more free.
DR.. August Koenig's Hamburg Breast Tea,
drank slowly and very hot, soothes and
heals the parts, il comforting and quieting,
stops the cough and relieves the breathing.
This manner of treatment land there is no
other two remedies that will work together

the outside and the inside at the same
time. st. Jacobs Oil reaches the roots of
the adhesion, and assists Dr. August Koc-
nig's Hamburg Breast Tea in clearing
them; then both remedies act in unison in
healing and curing. The above remarks
apply with equal force in cases of asthma,
Group, whooping cough, enlarged tonsils
and all bronchial affections. Every family
should have st. Jacobs Oil and DR.. August
Koenigs Hamburg Breast Tea always in
the house in order that they may be
promptly used in the first stages. Often
the maladies develop with wonderful ra-
pidity, and complications take place with
equal suddenness.

LANDS END SARDINES.
How Cornwall Fishermen Net Pill.
chards for British Markets.

The old debate as to whether pill
chards are not identical with sardines
has now been decided in the affirm
ative. According to Mr.. Afalo, the
word sardine must be taken to mean
indefinitely a small fish preserved in
oil, and not an individual species.
This small fish may DE pilchard or it
may be a sprat That is to say, nat
uralists do not recognize a fish called
the sardine; the word merely signi-
fies a method of preparation. The
point may be disputed, but cannot be
controverted. Visitors to Cornwall
sometimes deny it on the ground that
the pilchards shown to them are
larger than the average sardine, but
they should remember that the fish
are usually packed minus head and
tail, which means considerable dim
mutton in size. For centuries this
transformation of pilchards into sar-
dimes has been going on. We read in
Moryson's Itinerary" a book familiar
to Shakespeare's day, that the inhab.
itants of Cornwall make great gain by
the fishing of pilchards, which they
salt and dry in the smoke, and export
a huge multitude of them yearly into
Spain and Italy" This practice of
smoking them gave the fish the name
of fumadoes, corrupted locally into
fair maids"
'Tis the silver fair maids that cause
such q strife
'Twixt the master-seiner and his
drunken wife.
The fish are not preserved in this
manner now, but are piled and pressed
in layers of salt. Being thoroughly
salted and relieved of superfluous
fluids they are taken from the fish
cellars and dispatched in barrels to
the local or foreign "sardiners." The
difference in size between these Cor
nish "sardines" and those caught on
the coasts of France is really a result
of difference in netting, not in the spe.
cies of the fish. The Cornish fishers
use a net with comparatively large
mesh, this letting the smaller and
more delicate fish escape, but the
French, with closer mesh, pay spe-
cial attention to the smaller fish. The
men OF st. Ives and Newlyn are very
conservative, as will be remembered
by their agitation on the Sunday
question; but the adoption of closer
mesh would be move in the right
direction.

bishop coadjutor to the Rt. Rev. Rich
ard Phelan, bishop of the diocese of
Pittsburg, and would be succeeded by
Rev. Horgan NJ. Sheedy, rector of st.
Johns, Altoona, Pa, is pronounced a
canard.
In well-informed Catholic circles at
Washington there is no disposition to
believe there will be any change
whatever in the rectorship of the uni
versity. Bishop Conaty will probably
be his own successor. The office of
vice rector will, it is believed, be left
vacant a session.

Tendency Towards Mediaevalism.


Mr.. Gilbert Ray Halves writes to the
New York Sun on THE Tendency
Towards Mediaevalism, which he says
Is "a movement fatal to Professionalism
and helpful to Catholicism Mr..
Hawes particularizes thus:
It cannot successfully be disputed
that the Catholic" party Of the Episco-
pal church is doing violence to the
law and doctrine Of its church, un-
mistakably laid down, when it adopts
the reserved sacrament" and the doc
trine Of the Real Presence. and encour-
ages the administration of the viati-
cum and the use of incense, which
have always been denounced by Pro-
testants as "Popish inventions and
heresies." The attempt to justify these
strange doctrines and practices by ap-
pealing to the first Prayer Book of
Edward VI Q549) is both weak and
Illogical, as they are directly in con-
tiict with the Thirty-nine Articles
which are the foundation of Episco-
Dalian faith and form of worship.
All this would seem to indicate that
the great gulf which has heretofore
separated the Episcopalians' from the
other branches of Professionalism might
be closed at last, and all Protestants
brought into one fold. But while the
other denomina tions have been taking
many leaves from the Book of Com
mon Prayer, the EpiscopaIians have
been getting farther away from the
standards of their church and nearer
to Rome
This was emphatically called to my
attention by an incident which hap
pened while crossing the Atlantic a
few years ago On board ship ] made
The acquaintance of a scholarly and
agreeable gentleman, one of the promi-
lent Episcopalian rectors of this city
our conversation turned upon polem-
ical subjects and / deplored 1.-The su-
Derstition of the Roman Catholic faith
which adhered to the doctrine of the
Real Presence in the Eucharist" " To
my utter amazement my clerical friend
demurred to these structures and re-
marked that it could hardly be called
superstition, as many Episcopalians
believed the same. What" I ex-
claimed, do you mean to say that
Episcopalians believe in Transubstan-
tiation?" We'll, not exactly" he re-
piled. but we do believe in Consub-
sanitation" When I suggested that
it seemed to me as though the differ |
once was as little as that between !
'tweedledum" and "tweedledee." he |
remarked that 1 displayed too much |
levity, and that in any event he could |
not discuss such fine distinctions with |
a mere layman who had never enjoyed |
the advantages Of theological training |
in seminary. However, to my ear
nest inquiry, he did vouchsafe the in
formation that practically all the
clergymen of New York
accepted the doctrine of the Real
Presence, as expounded by the subtle
definition of the term "Consubstantia-
ton" If this be true, and I have no
reason to doubt it, whittier is that
church drifting?
