For about five years." she says, 81
had host of physical ills that keptmea an
invalid and puzzled the doctors. Some
of them thought I was going into con.
sumption. AT times was SO weak that
l could not comb my hair or even wash

suddenly up my thigh and l had to be
carried to bed screaming i'll my agony.
I could no longer do my work and the
drain upon my husbands purse was
very heavy. / craved food but what
ate only gave me discomfort. My liver
was torpid, and often had to be carried
to the door for air to save me from suf-
locating.
The worst was the pain which seemed
as if my thigh were being pushed out OF
my body. The best doctors could do was
to deaden it by narcotics. Once they
thought could not live for more than
two days. In one Of my worst attacks,
friend said Why don't you try DR..
Williams Pink Pills? They are the
only thing that ever helped my rheuma-
tism.'

box felt better, and continued to use
the pills for three or four months with
steady improvement until I was well.
For four years l have been able to do all
my household work, and no longer have

Prosperity in Small Farms.


We have become quite familiar
with the term agricultural depres-
sion in England" 1t has been a com
mon text for writer's and speakers on
both sides of the water The Ques-
ton has been why should an agricul-
tural depression exist in England
when it did not exist in France and
other European countries. Along with
agricultural depression has come ag-
ricultural depopulation, the people in
the rural districts finding it impos-
si5le to make good living have
moved to the cities and there de-
pended on days work to give them
enough to subsist on. Mr.. Joseph G..
Stephens, United States consul at
Plymouth, England, reports to the
United States government that small
farm holdings are now considered the
best remedy for agricultural depopu-
'ation. Many papers still argue, how
ever, that it is delusion, and will
not work in practice. Where it has
been tried it has been successful, and
- Az ohSO NAiClI 81 1CN SotuSOo
should be cut up. When a large farm
is divided into small holdings the de-
mand for the land usually far exceeds
the supply. This has been the expert
ence in Dorset, Willis, Suffolk, Norfolk,
Lincoln and Surrey counties. Men
are willing to remain in the country
If they have the satisfaction OF work
ing on land which is their own, or
is held on secure tenure. This is
at present far from the case, and thou
sands of acres go out of cultivation
and multitudes hurry off to foreign
ands to obtain the opportunity denied
them in their own"
The small farm is everywhere the
salvation of the country, where the
agricultural conditions are such as
TO make the small farm possible. On
great areas of POOR land or on rich
lands that have very insignificant
rainfall, of course extensive opera
lions have to be carried on. But most
Of the land in countries with rich
soil and abundant rainfall is of a
character that makes the small farm
easily possible. Americans should
lake a lesson from England and
should do all in their power to encour-
lge the breaking up of large farms.
The man that adds farm to farm for
his own glory and that he may dwell
alone in the midst of the land is not
| public benefactor.
Our land is never intensively farmed
under extensive operations. The man
with tens of thousands of acres de-
Jends on doing work on an immense
,cale and almost always the ground is
iot made to yield the returns it
Mould. No man will work as hard fyr
another as ne will work for himself,
and when the land is filled with men
working for themselves the land
Jrings forth larger crops than it does
{ any other time.
The more small farms there are the
more Independent farmers we will
nave and the more they will be in
crested in the welfare of the rural
Inhabitants. Big farms employ hired
men, and these never feel themselves
0 be fixtures even if they are re-
aimed on the same farm for many
years. Their independence of action
is destroyed. They cannot take hold
Of public affairs as they would do if
they owned their own farms and were
not under the dictation of other men.

Portable Poultry Houses.

AT the Illinois State Fair there was
one exhibit that was very suggestive.
1t was of a portable poultry house,
large enough to be used for camping
out in if its use for a poultry house
should be at any time discontinued.
Adjustable and portable poultry
houses have long been advertised by
English agricultural papers, and it
mas been wonder why the industry
did not manifest itself On this side Of
the water. Any man can make an
adjustable poultry house of his own.
1t is only necessary that each part be
complete by itself and that it be per-
fectly fitted to the adjoining parts.
The fault with some such construc
tions is that they are rickety. This is
a fault that can be easily cured. The
joints should be perfect and the parts
should overlap enough to prevent
drafts in winter time. We can con-
ceive of a portable house being so
badly made that the poultry would be
exposed to drafts constantly through
out the winter.
Inc advantages OF portable poultry
houses are many, especially for ten
ants. There are many people that
wish to keep poultry, but they do net
care to construct a poultry house to
be eft on the place when they move
The portable poultry house can be
quickly taken to pieces and it makes
the least possible bulk when placed on
a wagon. Whoever builds such
house should make himself patterns
beforehand that he may avoid mis-
takes in the construction

Improving the Breeds.

The breeds that now exist. must
be improved largely by the common
farmer If they are to be improved at
all. They are now out of the hands
OF the fanciers and they can therefore
receive no more development from
them, except SO far as the fanciers
can induce the general public to pur-
chase the high quality birds they are
producing for breeders. Every breed
was brought to it's present perfection
by selection, and this process should
be kept up that the breeds NAV not
deteriorate, but may continue to i'm
prove. There is room for improve
ment in every breed. If left to them
selves all breeds tend to deteriorate.
because inferior birds are being con-
stantly produced, and if used as
breeders they will help the work of
reyersion. 1t must be remembered
that all that is good in the breeds is
artificial. 1t would take a long time
for some Of our breeds to go back to
the primeyal form if they were left
alone and kept pure, but it would
take less time if they were allowed
to lningle freely with all other kinds
of poultry. In the barnyards of most
OF our farmers there is little effort
made to keep the fowls from mixing.
The result is that from year to year
the standard becomes less reliable,
and the type more and more indistinct.
When farmer has pure bred birds
he should keep them pure and select
from them every year the birds that
are nearest the required type.

CathoIicity in Dixie-Land.

The Rev A. P. Doyle the Paulist, who is to
lecture in Boston early in January, said last week
in an address "The hope of the South lies IN the
Church It's best civilization only be main
tanned by religion that breaches restraint of pas
sion, reverence to authority and submission to the
laws"
Father Doyle is right. From the very fact that
the South, above all parts of the Union, still cngs
to Christian truths, imperfectly understood, it is
good field for missionary effort
Nowhere in this country are there many who
hold firmly to the truths of Revelation Unitarian
ism and various forms of quasi-antheism hold
place there yet nowhere unfortunately, does there
exist so much misunderstanding to the principles
and practices of Catholics.
At the same time nowhere does purity of life,
simplicity of heart reverence, constancy and abld-
ing faith so appeal to the heart
The spiritual condition of the coored people is
appalling. Before the war, thousands of them IN
New Orleans and Baltimore were Catholics. They
followed the faith of their masters. At present,
in both cities the percentage of Catholics among
the colored population is very much less than it
in $780,
The religion of the negro is strange blend of
superstition Illuminated by real religious fervor.
The negro is naturally religious. The poetry of
religion appeals to him. There is nothing he enjoys
more than to be deluged by religious emotion.
Still does not our charity in truth-telling lie
nearer at home? Even the apostles who went into
the world preaching and baptising did not seek the
land of the bamboo tree nor did they journey into
the far reaches of the Congo.
Now, really, Notwithstanding the mock-herocs
that we utter concerning the negro, isn't his reg
ion, which curiously ignores the Fifth and Sixth
Commandments, very much like third-rail trolley
lightning Boston Republic.

A Noble Religion.
buffalo Evening Times.l


Mondays newspapers contained the following
Associated press dispatch:
st. Louis, Dec 21.-After having spent the
past eleven years caring for the children of the
lepers of the Hawaiian Islands, Sister Albina, of
the franciscan Order, who was formerly Miss Mi
riam Sluder, of st. Louis, has arrived here OH a
visit to her parents.
That is the way it was printed, with one-line
head, in an inconspicuous position, while railroad
accidents and foreign reports were flashed under
doube-colImn headings.
Of course, we all know that Sister Albina did
not perform her eleven years service of love and
devotion for the sake of newspaper notoriety, but
for the love of God and man.
But it is the duty of the press, as public educa
tor, to call attention to such acts hers-all too
frequently ignored among the politics. the riots the
wars and the murders of day.
So it is that the Times takes pleasure in calling
attention, i'll this manner, to the homecoming of
this noble woman, who left behind her family,
friends, home and even NAME to enter upon work
of abnegation of self-denial, of privation, amid
loathsome scenes of suffering; who has endured that
work for eleven long years, and who now returns
home only for vista vacation, before resuming
the work marked out by her religious convictions.
We may all, Protestant, Catholic, infdel, man of
the world and soldier of fortune woman of fashion
and daughter of the street. young and old, rich and
poor-one and all, can bow in token of reverent
respect for such religion that of Sister Abina.
