Easter Among the Poets" by Rev.
Thomas |. Gasson, S. j., ti,tingly opens

and friends; Mrs. M. e. Blake contri-
butes a charming story, "a Modern
Midas" and Seumas MacNIanus, the

page plates. 1.-THE Voyage of an Irish

interesting paper by VIM. HALEY.
John Talbot Smith reviews Iolstoy's
Resurrection and The Bishops Move.
"Fatal Torturing of Priest and Pri-
vate in the Philippines" is a vouched-
for account of the torture of Padre
Augustine and Private Richter. The

but priests do not work for money
consideration, and l do no. mention
their meagre compensation to find
fault with it, but to let men see how
utterly unfair it is to cons der their
priests the recipients Of all they ad-
minister. The true pastor expects
compensation from Him who repays
an hundred fold. He knows that the
smallest grace of God is worth infin-
itely more than the whole world. With
the great st. Francis de Sales he
knows that one soul is parish enough
for a priest, and if God in His mercy

three thousand souls, the spirit of
gratitude and responsibility is his re-

The Mix-Up Caused Trouble.

man and his wife went TO a din
ncr dance. They arrived so late that
the dressing rooms were empty. The
wife noticed a rip in her husbands
coat She therefore led him into the
ladies' dressing room, saying she could
fix the tear with a pin. On cxamina-
ton, however, she found she could not
mend the rent unless he took off the
garment. The husband took it off.
just then footsteps were heard, and
Women's voices. The husband. in n
fright, looked around for an avenue
of escape. but saw only one other
door besides the one by which they
had entered. The wife was still
more terror-stricken, and, scizing her
husband, she precipitately showed him
through the second doorway and turn
cd the lock behind him. At the same
instant two women came into the
dressing room and discovered the
wife standing there with mans
coat in her hands. She attempted to
explain but her words were drowned
by a series Of ferocous poundings on
the door through which her husband
had disappeared. "Opcn the door!

if he will just simply roll over on his
left side he will be surprised how
quickly belching of wind will occur
and almost complete relief from the
distress.
The explanation is that lying on the
left side crowds the stomach This
lessons the capacity of the stomach
and forces the gas up through the
esophagus. This will frequently bring
much relief. A more natural and
lasting relief than any drug could have
done.
Try it the next time you have any
of the throes of indigestion after going
to bed. Lie on the left side for fifteen
or twenty minutes and see if it does
not disappear. 1t is very effective
remedy. 1t is remedy that the osteo-
paths would especially approve of, as
it is of a mechanical nature and ap.
piled directly to the disease. After
the gas has been all forced out of the
stomach in this way the sleeper can
generally roll over on his back or right
side and go to sleep.
1t is said that Mark Twain recon-
mended this remedy as well-nigh in
fallible. But whether he does or not,
experience has taught us its value.

Time They Were STONED.

Two hundred Irishmen attending a
production Of "McFadden's Row Of
Flats" in a New York theater, Friday
night. rose in their seats and delivered
several cases of ancient hen fruit,
passe cabbage, overripe oranges, etc,
on the persons of actors caricaturing
the 1rislman, says the st. Paul Globe.
While the method employed was not
aesthetic. the object sought is in
dorscd. OF late years we have had
stage caricaturc and burlesnue of n
kind calculated to make man want
to pull n rope or q trigger. Such
creations as have been developed and
perpctIted on the thcatergoers have
been monstrOus. outrageous, villify-
ing. coarse and indecent. 1t is time
they were stopped. The actors and
managers insist that as long as people
pay their money to see them, that is
the kind of fun they want-and there
is much in the contention. Sad it is
that public taste has become so de-
PRAYED as to desire and require these
distortions, and hence the acton of the
Irishmen in New York may be in
lOrsed as an educational movement If
for no other reason--tO educate the
actors If not the audience. For if the
actors come to expect. instead of the
approving bouquet, deluge of vener
able ediblcs, they will improve the
quality Of their representa- ons, and
the public will he led along the path
of better instruction.
Good. clean comedy, with delicate.
refined burlcsuue, is always enjoyable,
and no one is more ready to take a
joke than the Irishman, for he is al
most invariably q wng himself, but
the limitations of fun and merriment
are so often transgressed by latter
day vaudeville caricaturcs that a re-
action has set in. and tho demonstra-

an invigorating tome. Not only is
laughing good for the health of the
body, but it is natures happy cure for
the ills of the mind as we'll. Its in

gives a silver lining to every cloud.

Had an Appetite for Hardware.

Six pounds of nails, screws, lead,
iron, cartridge shells and other foreign
substances We're taken from the stom-
ach of Fred Cerrow, a Michigan asy-
lum patient, during the post-mortem
examination which took place at Kala-
maZoo. March 80 For years Cerrow
had been swallowing metal. Jumps of
coal. small stones and brick dust. Now
dead, his body furnishes physicians
with one of the most remarkable cases
of it's kind on record.
Cerrow died of an absccss of the
liver, but this was caused by the for
cign substances in his stomach, which
had dropped from its normal position.
The stomach contained the following
articles: One 20penny spike, four
inches long: 80 10-penny nails; 70 s.
penny nails; 23 shingle nails; $50 bent
nails of various assorted sizes; %
pieces of WIRE different sizes; 1 iron

Many of the larger nails were par

to have caused the abscess which re-
suited in death. The patient was fifty
years of age and had been at the asy-

How Many Kees2

first case the other day. He was
examining German witness, trying

The German testified that the defend
ant was intoxicated. "Well," said the
young man with some heat, "were
you ever drunk?" ''No, sir. Never vas

GLOW many can you drink without
getting drunk?"
"Vat you mean, kegs?"
That was too much for the young
attorney. He was covered with con-

I know that these assertions will
draw upon me the wrath of large

Protestant Christianity must end by
becoming an empty phrase. In both
the East and West Indies. as well as
in various parts of Europe, have
had opportunities of observing at close
quarters the exemplary lives of the
Catholic religious and missionaries,
and the prodigies of charity of both
the teaching and nursing sisters.
Many of our people, before visiting
these countries, either through ignor-
ance or human respect, used to insult
Catholicity. But I have heard them
