When Not TO Talk.

The best of us talk too much THE
essence of power is reserve" said a man
who knew
Many reputation has been built on
silence. Many one is spoiled through
rushing prematurely aud volably into
speech.
1t is safe to be silent when your words
would wound. Faithful are the wounds
of friend" says the old proverb, but
one wants to be mighty sure ones friend
needs the woupding and that we are
qualified to administer it.
Keep still when your words will dis
courage. 1t is infinitely better to be
dumb forever than to make one fellow
being less able to cope with life.
Keep still when your words will in
cite to anger or discomfort. An incred-
ible amount of breath is used in the evil
practice of trying to make our friends
dislike their friends.
Never speak when what you have to
say is merely for the purpose Of exalting
yourself.
Shut your lips with key when You
are inspired to bafe incontinently of
yourself-your ailments, accomplish
ments, relations, loves, hatreds, hopes
and desires. 1t is only to the choice,
rare friend that one may speak these
things without becoming a fool.

100000 Roman Catholics.


The Roman Catholic population Of
the United States and its dependencies
is far larger than that of any other
religious denomination. This fact is
brought out by comparison between
the statistics in the Roman Catholic d.
rectory for 1905 and those relating to
other church bodies, which have been
compiled by Rev. H. K. Carroll. The
whole number of Roman Catholics nm
der the protection of the United States
flag is 90, 127 ,354. OF these 7,5S, 500 are
in the Philippines. 1,573, s62 in Cuba, L.
900, 900 in Porto Rico and 30, 900 in the
Sandwich Islands. 1t would obviously
be misleading to include the Roman
Catholics of the dependencies in con-
sideration of the comparative strength
Of the religious denominations in the
United States. Eliminating them alto
gether, the Roman Catholics of the
country still number 1882 1913, while
the next largest church body, the Meth
odists, have 6,256,S3S members. The

thing that has not one redeeming thing

fEIGNED DEATH

is angry. She cannot bear to live in

children and go she is going to take
poison and go to heaven" the woman
would explain when her children mis-
behaved. Then in the presence of the
wondering little tots she would pro.
coed to mix sugar and water in a glass
and would swallow the dose. Present.
ly she would pretend to be very i'll and
sometimes would even feign death.
This never failed to bring the child
ern to repentance. With sobs and tears
they would crowd about the mother
as she lay on the bed and with wild
cries would plead with her to come
back to life.
After the children had been sufficient
ly punished in the mothers opinion,
she would come back to life and the
children would be good" again for a
period.
Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Maynard
had trouble with one Of her sons, aged
