stances Taken from Long List.

When Payne wrote There's No
Place Like Home" he gave poetic cx.
preston to the love he bore toward
the ingle-nook, more precious than
temples or palaces" What flowers OF
rhetoric could approach in power of
assertion, these five little monosyla-
bic words, There's No Place Like
Home"-to gainsay which were impos-
sible.
1t is the great privilege of Ameri-
cans to be able, without hyperbole, to
apply them 10 travel for what is there
in any part of the habitable globe more
fraught with interest, instruction,
education, refreshment of mind and
body and uplifting of soul than nature
has provided, with hand so lavish, for
the delectation of those having the
good fortune to dwell in this goodly
land?
Would he see a Riviera? We have
several on the shores of the azure
waters both of the gulf and the Pacific,
far distancing that laved by the Medit.
erranean.
Does he pine for snow-capped noun
tains? Let him repair to the plains
whence Pixies Peak, Mt. Logan and
our other great elevations rear their
hoary SUBMITS into cloudland.
Would he witness a majestic cata-
ract? There is but one without rival,
the imperial Niagara-in the chain Of
our great lakes, most turbulent Of
links.
Neither Nile, Niger, nor Ganges-

Where is there, even in miniature,

disc, the Valley of the Yosemite; what
to compare with the deep and rugged
gorge through which passes to the sea
the impetuous Colorado river?
The Mammoth Cave of Kentucky,
one of the worlds wonders, is as yet
but partially explored.
Why, then, travel abroad, while all
these and vastly more than can be here

Irerand's Gloomy outlook,

The Journal of the Department of
Agriculture for Ireland calls attention
to the marked increase in agricultural
imports to these countries in 1904.
The live cattle numbered nearly $780,
900 head. "The increase in both
cases came from the United States,
whence 100000 more cattle and 123,-
900 more sheep were received than in
1908, or practically So per cent and 72

goes on to say, "Ihe total export of

New Inventions For Vatican,

The interest Plus X takes in modern
inventions was distinctly illustrated
when he ordered linotype machines
for the Vatican printing office. On be-
ing told that some improvements were
needed in the composing room, he
held conference with an expert, and
was much surprised to learn of the
efficiency of the linotype machine and
of the fact that such an improvement
had not been adopted long ago in the
Vatican printing Office, which forms
now one department of the celebrated
printing office at the Propaganda,
where works in all the languages of
the world are printed every day.
His Holiness, it is said, is great
telephone user. The Vatican is now
as elaborately wired as any great
financial institution or hotel in the
United States-house, local and long
distance telephone in every room. The
long-distance telephone most often
used by the Pope is the wire connec-
ton with Venice, his old place of resi-
lence and useful activity. From Ven
ice come stories of all sorts of persons
who are occasionally called up by
Plus for a moments chat or some per-
;onal instruction. The Pope himself
selected the telephone apparatus used
n the Vatican, adopting the most dur
lble and efficient and elegant device
1t the same time.

The Busybody.

1t is extraordinary the passion most
,eople have for managing other peo-
,le's affairs, and ordering their lives.
Not only do they give much advice
yhen asked for, but far too many feel
their duty to give advice when not
ought, in the case of those they
now, whilst very many will be con-
tantly speculating upon the affairs of
comparative strangers and say what
hey would do if they were "so-and.

Far too many of the frictions, quar-
els and unpleasantnesses of this life
re either caused or fomented by the
Interference of a third member, who
7ould, in the majority of cases, be far
etter employed in managing her own
fairs.
There are times, of course, when it
perfectly proper to give other peo-
lie the benefit of whatever wisdom
.ou possess, but it is very good and
afe rule never to volunteer advice.
Wait till it is asked for, or, better
till, let it be dragged from you re-
lctantly. If your counsel is found tc
,e valuable, the chances are that II
will be asked for frequently, and even
ragged from you, and if events prove

Count DiIIon's Irish BRIGADE.

Arthur, Count Dillon, was born in
Braywich in Ireland in 1850 and at II
commanded the Dillon regiment of the
Irish brigade, says the New York Sun.
On the recognition by France in 177S
of the United States, Count Dillon
claimed for his regiment the right to
be the first to fight the English. April
5, 1873, with the first battalion Dillon

distinguished himself at the head OF
his column in the attack on Granada
and, though wounded, kept on fighting
until the place was taken. He was
equally prominent in the capture OF
St. Tustache, Tobago and St.. Chris
topher. In 1882 he was appointed
governor of the last named island
His code of laws was so good that the
English, on recovering possession OF
the island confirmed all his judg-
ments and DEGREES, and when he was
presented at a levee to George III the
Lord Chancellor publicly compliment
ed him on being as good a lawyer as
he had proved himself brave and able
as soldier. After displaying great
daring in the siege of Savannah in
177a, Colonel the Count Dillon was
made brigadier-general in 1880, and

arrested in the French Revolution
and in 1874 was sent to the guillotine

"I'm as good a church member as

Warned Against Endless Chain Fake

VdFHcu ASduuSt 1uO'Soo S"o'' a"S
The Vicariate of Rome has been
obliged to issue still another warning
against the propagation of an un-
authorized prayer A few weeks ago
many hundreds of simple-minded Ro-
mans began to receive copies Of a
prayer. If they recited 1T for nine
days, and distributed it, each to nine
other persons, they were promised all
sorts of blessings, temporal and spirit
ual; if they failed to do this, they
we're threatened with the direst penal
ties in this world and the next. The
Osservatore Romano promptly de-
nounced the thing, but the Osserva-
tore is not very widely read, and the
"endless chain" was at its deadly
work. This week the Vicariate has
found it necessary to address a circu-
lar to all the parish priests of Rome
urging them to inform the faithful
publicly and repeatedly" that the
prayer is condemned by the ecclesias
tical authorities, ana the threats are
idle. Unfortunately, the contagion
seems to have spread to other do
ceses in Italy.

A Popular Boy.

What makes boy popular? Surely
it is manliness. During the war, how
many schools and colleges followed
popular boys whose hearts could bt
trusted. The boy who respects hi'
mother has leadership in him. Th
boy who is careful of his sister is a
knight. The boy who will never VIC
late his word, and who will pledge his
honor to his own hurt, and change
not, will have the confidence of hi
feelings. The boy who will never hur
the feelings of any one will one da'
find himself possessing all sympathy
If you want to be popular boy, b.
too manly and generous and unselfisl
to seek to be popular; be the soul o
honor; love others better than your
self, and people will give you thei
| hearts, and try to make you happy
That is what makes a popular boy.

girl with her, and this child wanted to run
around and LOOK at things, and her mother kept
talking and finding fault with her, and really

her to me and talked with her and praised her
up and we really enjoyed the time.
Later on was called one side. and / heard
this child say TO her mother: Mamma, why
don't you be good to me same as auntie Tsp"
and her mother said: "well, you try me so,"
and then the child said: "weli. 1t don't try
auutie; and just love her." and never forgot
those words.
Now like praise. and don't think ever saw
any one. If he or she would own it, who didn't.
Now, Johns, see how much Kind word or praise
will help your better half, and think how lucky
you are to have some one to cook you three
meals each day, and make their lives happy
while you can.
And now, sisters. think If you do your part
of praising TO the Johns, you can win all the
praise you will want, tell you there's lot to

More than likely you speak the same
words yourself, and no doubt you feel
far from well. The cause may be easily
traced to some arrangement of the fe-
male organs which manifests itself in
depression of spirits. reluctance to go
anywhere or do anything, backache,
bearing-down pains, fatulency, nerv-
business, sleeplessness, leucorrhea
These symptoms are but warnings
that there is danger ahead, and unless
needed a life of suffering or serious
operation is the inevitable result
The never-failing remedy for all these
symptoms is Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg
et-ble Compound.
Miss Kate Mcdonald, of Woodbridge,
N j., writes:
Dear Mrs Pinkham:

which made me physical wreck. and no one

what a splendid medicine II is.p

bic Compound at once, and write to
