A TALK TO THE GIRLS.
New WORLDLY E-

New WORLDLY >~ q
| On reading one of the evening pap-
ers the other day | noticed a letter
from girl-a young girl presumably
I consulting the editor of the woman 8
| department. on how best to catch the
man she fancied," giving some rather
humiliating examples of previous fail
ures to attract him Now, girls are
girls the world overland they wouldn I
be near so nice if they tried to be any
thing else-so l suppose they cannot
be blamed for always thinking of love
and marriage. But when 1 seela let
ter like the one alluded to- lit makes
me blush. and. l ask myself Thow can
girl make such fool of herself?''
Putting one side the deplorable lack
of refinement and all womanIy feeling
shown by the girl who deliberately goes
a-hunting for a husband, the, fact of
doing so shows an absolute ignorance
of masculine human nature. Men are
by instinct hunting creatures. The
fruit just out of reach is ever the par
ticular peach or cherry for which their
soul longs. The girl who-to uSa the
common makes herself cheap"
is just the girl they don't want. Once
let them suspect they are being run
the silly runner reaching her goal,
am, of course. talking of men worth
marrying. The weakly. conceited.
brainless creature. who could be fiat
tered into matrimony by a girls open
wooing, is not precisely the man cal
culated to make a desirable husband.

CATHOLIC VS.. PROTESTANT
MORALS.

The following communication, pub
lished by the London Catholic Times,
contains statistics and deductions that
will prove of value in controversies
| concerning the comparative morality
of Catholic and Protestant commune
! ties:
The London Times Sept 5. 1907
stated that tine population of SaXony
/ is overwhelmingly Protestant The
| Catholics only amount to Al per cent,
/ though they have greatly increased in
recent years, having nearly trebled
since 1880 The number of Jews is very
small. AS is everywhere the case in
Germany. illegitimate births and sui
! cides are more numerous than in the
Catholic districts" AS your corre-
spondent, Mr.. ]. r. Sugars. has shown.
9" Protestant Prussia is a long way
/ from being one of the most moral coun-
tries in Europe. Catholic Ireland easily
leading" 1t may be interesting to note
| that Ireland is not all Catholic, and
that Sir John Forbes, one of her late
majestys physicians. in his memoran-
dums made in Ireland in the autumn
of 1852. gives the result of a return on
the subject of Nightmares which he
obtained from the Poor Law Commits
sioners in each of the four provinces of
Ireland. He found that the proper
ton of illegitimate children conceded
almost exactly with the relative pro-
portions of the two religions in each
province. being large where the Pro-
-testant element is large and small
where it is small" The proportion of
marriages in Ireland to the population
at that time was about one-half the
number iii many other European coun-
tries, and. though improving is still
low. low rate of marriage ought
naturally to result in increased illegit-
imacy. But. as Mr.. Sugars has pointed
out. Ireland has the lowest rate of this
evidence of immortality of all countries
in Europe :, are!
These facts may be recommended,
though probably without the least eff
feet, to those slanderous defamers of
the Catholic Church who are forever
asserting that the confessional is a
source of immortality, and that
wherever Romanism f1ourishes pros
perlty and morality are evanescent
and the blessings received by the en-
bracing of Professionalism are more
than can be numbered" Looked at in
the light of cold criticism. Protest
antism has contributed two leading
ideas to the wOrld-the idea of private
Interpretation. which has made chaos
of the peoples faith, and the idea of
divorce, Which has made chaos of the
peoples morality. Today divorce
threatens the destruction of home life
in England. and those who read the
newspapers know that the ever-increas-
ing number of divorce suits lies pri-
marily in the sad condition of English
society. Yet one of the enlightened
Protestant journals in Ireland is for
ever lamenting that the Catholic
Church is a greater hindrance to the
Gospel than idolatry in heather MAJ
tons; that it "degrades the intellect
and that ''it penetrates into all do
mestic life and poisons it.

MARY

Catholic Universe9
Dear honored name, beloved for human
ties.
But loved and honored first that One
was given
i'm living proof to erring mortal ewes
That our poor earth is near akin ia
Heaven.
Sweet word of dual meaning; one of
grace
and born of our kind advocate above.
And one by memory linked to that
dear face
That blessed my childhood with its
mother-love.
And taught me first the simple PRAYER,
Poor banished sons of Eve we send
our cries
Through the mist of years, those words
recall TO me
A childish face upturned TO loving
eyes.
And vet to some the name of Mary
bears
so special meaning and no gracious
I that dear word they seek for hidden
sUarCS.
As wasps find poison in the sweetest
flower
But faithful hearts can see, Ger doubts
and fears.
The Virgin link that binds the Lord
40 earth:
Which to the upturned trusting face
appears
a more than angel, though of human
birth.
The sweet-faeed moon reflects on
rheeTless night
The rays of hidden sun to rise tomor-
row;
No unseen God still lets His promised
light.
Through Holy Mary shine upon our
sorrow.

How to Tell hydronhobia.

AS dogs do not perspire the only re-
lief they seem to get when overheated
is from inhaling cool air through their
wide-open mouths in short. puffy
breaths. The friction between tongue
and lips, caused by their rapid, labor
Gus breathing, produces saliva which is
sometimes ignoranty diagnosed as
foam, onc OF the symptoms Of hydro
phobia. Many innocent victims have
lost their lives on account of such
stupidity.
If your dog should feel Ill. sick with
some ordinary ailment, he will wag
welcome to you with n sad, pitiful ex-
preston. looking up inquiringly. as If
asking for help I'M relief. If it mas
come to the worst, and he feels by in
stinct the germs Of the dreaded dis
ease In his frame, his action will be en-
tirely different. You will find him with
low bent head. hardly noticing or
glancing at you. The dog, feeling his
doom. is conscious of approaching dan
ger, and would like to prepare and
warn you. These unmistakable and
easily recognized signs should be
watched closely and always needed.
Corner the dog at once and. with the
help of a broom or barn fork. keep him
at a safe distance until locked up.

Cure for yellow Fever.

During the yellow fever epidemic al
New Orleans in 1878 a German medical
student braved the terrors of the plague
to secure the advantage OF experience.

gladly accepted. He had ideas. and
many We're his experiments. Treating
a H~ollander at the hospital. DR.. Hans
decided that his patient was about to
die, so he prescribed as Il last solace to
the expiring man a huge plate of sauer-
kraut. He watched the sick man de-
your the delicacy SO dear to the palate
of u friends across the sea. To Hans
u~nbounded amaZement on his next in
spection he found the Hollander sitting
up in bed reading a newspaper, well on
the Dad to recovery. Jerking forth his
notebook he jotted down: "R. Sauer-
kraut will cure a Dutchman Of yellow
fever Proceeding to another ward,
he found a Spaniard in a bad way. Pro-
curing another plate of the sauerltraut
he bade the patient eat it n live-but
speedily the Spaniard died. Reaching
for his notebook. Hans added to the
prescription. but will kill a Spaniard."
One of the three doctors who were

asked for his favorite prescription:
