QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.

Why, when a person is being press
ed for money, do we say he is being
dunned?
Because in the reign Of Henry VIII
there lived bailff named Dun, who
gained great reputation for making
persons pay their debts. When every
other method of getting payment had
been tried without success, Dun was
put to work, and dun him, became
the popular advice as a last resource.

perhaps even more so. One thing is
certain, however, and that is that
Home Rule is not dead issue. The
Liberals hoped that with the defeat
of Lord Rosebery, Home Rule as an
issue was destroyed. This issue
wrecked the Liberal Party in Glad
stones time by driving Joseph Cham
berlain and other Liberals over to the
Unionists. 1t is barely possible that
should the Liberals introduce a Home
Rule bill that there would be another
revolt led by Earl Gray and others. If
there is not q Home Rule bill pro-
posed there is certain to be a revolt
of the entire Irish membership and
also of the loss of all Irish votes to
Liberal candidates in English and
Scotch constituencies. Tie position in
which the Liberal Party is placed at
the present time is difficult one. 1t
is in need of strong leadership and
there is a fear in many quarters that
Sir Henry Campbell Bannerman does
not possess the courage and aggressive
ness necessary to properly meet and
dispose of the Irish question. 1t is to
be hoped that if he is not the man for
the situation that the situation will
itself produce the necessary leader.

FIND IN RoscoMMoN BOG.
Henry Wills Defence Of the Seven
Sacramento.

A fortnight ago in bog near Ros-
common, Ireland, while farmer was
engaged thereon in digging work, his
spade came in contact with a small
wooden box, which he unearthed. In
opening it the wood went to pieces
Inside was leathern covering, which
was also deteriorated by age, and in
side this again was another covering,
and the last that met the finders gaze
was book entitled "Discourses on the
Sacramento, by King Henry vIII.," in
splendid state Of preservation. On
the inner leaf is the following: "a
Defence of the Seven Sacraments
against Martin Luther, by Henry Will,
King of England, France and Ireland
to which are adjoined his epistle to the
Pope. The Grafton of Mr.. John Clark
(Orator to His Majesty on the delivery
of this book to his Holiness; and the
Pope's answer to the grafton, as also
the Bull, by which his Holiness was
pleased to bestow upon that King (for
compiling this book) that most illus
trious, splendid and most Christian
like title Of Defender Of the Faith"
The book is bound with leather, and on
the first page are the following words,
apparently written by the person who
consigned it to this strange place:
"This is a most valuable book, being
the work which was written by Henry
the Eighth Of England, and which
procured him the title Of Defender Of
the Faith" The find has aroused great
curiosity. and the lucky farmer has re-
ceived some substantial offers for pur-
chase.

A NEW YEARS THOUGHT.

We wish to present the following
New Years thought taken from The
Outlook, and recommend the thought to
all who are dissatisfied and weary.
And. after all. who is there who is
not in some way unhappy? There is
nothing new in what Is said by the
editor Of The Outlook. but 1t is SO
beautifully said that it ought to at
tract the attention Of any reader. Each
one Of us is likely to envy the posi-
ton of others whom we regard as
fortunate, and yet it is surely true that
If we could but read the minds Of
those whom we envy we would find
them wishing to occupy the place Of
others. The poor man who earns his
bread by daily toll is apt to rail against
the rich. The rich are weary of the
increased burdens which their posi-
ton places upon them. Those who
live in the country wish that they lived
in the city. and those who live in the

The secular press attributes the con-
version Of the Princess Ena of Batten-
berg to the Catholic faith, that she
might marry King Alfonso. to the in
fluence of the ex-Empress Eugenie
who resides continually in England,
says the Michigan Catholic. The
usually misinformed dailies, when
Catholic news is to be served up, also
states that the Pope was not con-
suited about the coming marriage Of
SPANS young sovereign. This is an
other fabrication Of the sensational

life) in all matters pertaining to Holy
Faith. Plus x. has been consulted
upon the selection Of a bride for the
Spanish monarch. The Princess Ena
had to change her religious belief or
she would never be Queen Of Spain.
The marriage of Alfonso and Ena is
received with favor by the English
people. What change has come over
Protestant England in its views
towards Catholicity. Whoever said a
year ago that an English princess
would become a Catholic, to win the
heart of Catholic King. would be

In their own way. BY paying tribute
to honest and respectable parents who
have made sacrifices to educate and
give them a start in life, they will en-
list themselves among the good citi-
Gems and avoid the fatal blunders of
those young men who. living in idle
ness and sin. regard themselves as
smarter and better than their poor but
honest parents. We hope that the
sons Of John Conlon may read the story

of that pure and patriotic life get an
inspiration which will last them

General Hamilton's Orders,

In the late Boer War one of the COL
umns half Canadian and half regular.
under General Ian Hamilton, became SO
notorious for looting that the soldiers
were nicknamed "The Thousand
Thieves" Consequently General Ham
ilton reviewed them one day small
village near Bloemfontein, says the
writer of Some South African REM
iniscences,' Cor the purpose of warn
ing them against any future depreda-,
lions.
The column had just drawn up and.
was waiting for the General to begin
the review, when ragged rooster ran
out from hut and across the front OF
the line. Suddenly private left the
line and ran after the rooster.
Haiti shouted Hamilton.
The soldier ran on. He soon over
took the rooster and turned back,
wringing the neck of the fowl AS he
passed the General he noted the fierce
scowl on his face. The soldier, an Irish
Canadian, was not easily daunted, but
this time he temporized. Throwing tbs
defunct rooster at the feet of the Gen.
eral, he said, There now; I'll tache+
We t. halt whin the Gineral says So"
At which the column roared withs
laughter, and even the General smiled,
and the soldier got only two days i'm
prisonment for one of the most bare
faced breaches of discipline in the rec
ords Of the army.

The following statistics concerning
the most important religious SYSTEMS
of the world are taken from resume
of an important work by the Rev.

According to the eminent Religious
there are in the world 550.OOO,O 900 Chris

Of the 550,0OO,000 Christians, a71,00o,-
900 inhabit Europe, 131, zoo, 900 America.
100000 Asia, 100000 Africa and e.
100000 Oceanica.
AS to the non-Christian populations,
they are computed as follows: jews
11,57,000; Mohamedans, 2O2,O4S, 240:
Hindus, 210,100,00O; other ancient relie-
ions of India, 11,113,OOo; followers Of

900; other religions, 2,S14,1S2.
OF the 55o,00o,0O0 Christians, the

about 11o,ooo,ooo, while the Catholic
Church claims no less than 261, 500. SEE
as her adhererts. Should nom Catholics
hesitate to accept this estimate as be-
ing that of a Jesuit father, they win
find it fairly corroborated by the calcu-
lations of a Protestant Herr F. Katten-
basch, professor of ecclesiastical his.
tory at Gottingen, who has recently
compiled valuable statistics of Protest
antism throughout the world for the.

According to the official figures re-
lating to the poor in London it has
been shown that pauper relief in near
ly every month Of the year now end
ing, have been greater than in any of
the previous forty years comprised in
the returns. with the exception of the
period from 1867 to 1871. says the
Irish-American. The ratio of paup
ers per 1000 of the population Of Lon
don has been higher in most Of the
months of this year than in any pre-
vious year since 1874. Not only has
there been a remarkable increase in
outdoor relief, but the rise in the mum.
bers entering the warehouses has con-
tinued. In no year in the history

the warehouses been greater for De-
cember.
