How many boys and girls think Of

they are sick, or for any Of the little
sacrifices she is making all tho time?
If they want any help on their lessons.
mother gives it as matter Of course,
and they usually forget that it is any
thing for which to thank her. They
take 1t for granted that Whatever they
| want mother will give them. IL she
possibly can; and SO she will, but her
| willingness and her love and her I'M
selfishness are no excuse for their
being ungrateful and discourteous.

you" whenever mother does you a
kindness. Perhaps you will be sur
prised to learn how many chances
there are in a day to use those little
words. And you will be even moro
surprised to see how much 1t means
to mother that you do mot forget

THE IRISH IN AMERICA.
Enough Here to Populate a Dozen
Good.sixed States.


In the light Of tho phenomenal role
which the Irish play in America, the
five million original settlers and de-
scendants have made the most Of their
numbers in the New World. As it is.
they represent a population today
greater than that Of the whole United
fury.
No page of history reveals n.igra-
ton so stupendous. The figures are
astonishing. From is40 to 1860 not
fewer than two millions of Irish inmi-
grants crossed the ocean to settle in
the United States; from 1860 to 1880
all additional million made fresh
start i'll life in the great republic over
the seas, and from 1880 to the present
time another million was added to our
population. Since 1860 the average
has been half a million decade.
The IL agricultural states. repre-
sented by Ohio, Indiana. Michigan, I'LL
nois, Wisconsin, Missouri. Iowa, Min
nesota, Kansas, Nebraska, North and
South Dakota, contain one-fourth Of
the five millions. OF the portion set
tied in the North Atlantic states but
one fifth are on farms; but this ten
dency to crowd into the towns disap-
pears when the surroundings are agri-
cultural, as is shown by the largo per-
centage-over 50-of those who have
taken to farming in the ~ agricultural
states mentioned above.
1t is only because the bulk Of the
Irish in America are not In the midst
of farming districts that they are less
an agricultural people than the other
immigrant elements added to the pop
ulation. They have found an outlet
for their energies in the congested dis
tricts, and their wonderfully adaptive
natures have allowed them easily to
enter upon the industries Of the peo-
pie among whom they were thrown.
1t is in the eastern states that the
Irish promise to ultimately constitute
majority Of the population. This is
already the case in three New Eng
land states and in many New England
cities.

witness. and another In which he was
himself worsted:
Once he was defending prisoner
indicted for murder. Tho principal
witness against the defendant swore
that the prisoners hat had been found
near the place Of the murder. The hat
was then produced in court. and tho
witness swore positively that 1t was
the same one that was found. and that
1t belonged to the prisoner.
BY virtue Of your oath. are you pos
tive that this is the same hat?
Yes.
Did you examine it carefully before
you swore that 1t was the prisoners?
Yes.
Now, let me see, said O'Connell, as
lie took up the hat and began carefully
to examine inside Of it. He paused
with curious expression on his face,
and then spelled aloud, J-a-m-e-s.
Now. do you mean to say that that
name was in the hat when you found
It? he asked, turning to tho witness.
I do.
Did you sec it there?
I did.
And this is the same hat?
Yes.
Now, my lord, said the lawyer, turn
ing to the Judge, there's an end to this
case. There is no name whatever with
in this hat.
Tho prisoner was instantly acquit-
ted.
An amusing incident is told Of VIC
tory over O'Connell by a witness whom
was for the Crown, and the case was
a riot committed by a crowd of beg
gars. O'Connell was at that time we'll

ceived his sobriauet of the Big Ban
herman
The witness finished, and o'Connell
began the cross-examination. Now tell
the court just how many Deggars there
were, he said.
Indeed, 1 did not stop to count them,
but there was a great tribe Of them,
your honor.
A whole tribe Of them Ell? Will you
tell us to what tribe they belonged?
Indeed, your honor. that il more than
can do, for 1 never heard, but I
think 1t must have been to the tribe Of
Dan.

lRELANp's GREATEST SCIENTIST
First Made Known the Secret of Wire.
less Tslearaphy,


less Tslegraphy.
BY the death Of Monsignor Molloy,
ex-rector Of the Catholic University,
Dublin has lost her greatest experi-
mental scientist. says p. Bradley, in
the Pittsburg Dispatch. He was one
Of the Irish representatives at the
world gathering Of scholars at Aber-
deem, received an honorary degree
from the university and died very soon
afterward at this old university town.
To the man in the street, he was
best known as the purveyor of science
to the unacientifc. For he brought
philosophy down out Of the clouds, di-
vested 1t Of the jargon of the schools
and placed before the average read
er In the way in WHICH he would UNI
derstand It. And in this he was ever
abreast Of tho latest developments.
Marconi. flushed with the secret of
wireless telegraphy, sought an inter-
prefer who would deliver his message
to the untechnical public.
And it was the Monsignor who ZEN
dowe1 his purposes with words that
made them known" Later on Madame
Curie burst upon the world with her
staggering discovery. This time mind
was wanting that would explain even
to the minds Of science the meaning
of Radiun1. Once moro Monsignor
Molloy was the interpreter. With
simple precision he told in the press
the wonderful story of "the new ele-
ment"-its probable composition, char
acteristics and eftect--though the an
nouncement Of the discovery was only
a few days old.
Some months afterward he gave a
Dublin assembly a view of the marvel
itself, being the first to introduce
Radiun into Ireland. Seeing that as
yet there are not moro than two
ounces OF the precious substance in
the whole world, the fact that he was
intrusted with a portion of 1t bears
testimony to his standing as scient-
list.
He was a warm friend OF the press.
He held with Cardinal Newman, his
predecessor in the rectorship Of the
Catholic University, that a great deal
Of the newspaper writing Of tho pres
emit day Tin point Of style alone was
finer than preface Of Dryden or the
pamphlets OF Swift, or even the Spec
tator essays Of the stately Addison
Indeed, he expanded the thought with
a touch Of light imagination and de-
clared that when 1000 years nave
come and gone, when the university
don and great philosopher will have
long been forgotten, If one copy Of our
despised daily papers should chance
to be disinterred from beneath the
foundation stone Of some great ruin,
it will be more highly priced than the
greatest philosophical work-or even
the greatest political speech--of the
world in which we live"
