KILLED PATRICK!

Bishop Broderick tells a good
story of Archbishop Patrick Ryan of
Philadelphia.
"Once every month Archbishop
Ryan breaches in one of the Catholic
churches of Philadelphia, said Bish-
op Broderick. "His sermons al
ways attract large congregations, and
the Philadelphia newspapers report
them rather fully. One of the papers
has been in the custom of sending
particularly young man to make re-
port of the archbishop's sermon and
the young man had always written
report that was accurate and pleasing
to the archbishop. Some time ago
this young man was sick, or off duty,
and the city editor of his paper as
signed another reporter to cover the
sermon. He wrote a long story OF
the sermon, but it was full of inac-
curacies and attributed to Archbish.
op Ryan's expressions that were
nothing less than heretical. The
archbishop was still thinking Of it
the next day when he met the editor
of the paper on the street. The
archbishop hailed him, and naturally
he referred to the report of his SER
mon.
"You didn't send the same young
man to report my sermon that you
usually do" said the archbishop.
"No; he was not available" +" re-
piled the editor.
We'll, your new man has got me
into peck of trouble, said the arch
bishop. He has me uttering the
rankest heresies. You would do NE
favor if you would not send that
man again to report my sermon
The editor apologized with the arch
bishops request, but added that the
reporter was one of the best on his
staff and a member of the Catholic
church, and he could not understand
how he had come to misquote the
archbishop.
"What is his name ?" inquired the
archbishop.
Fitzpatrick, - responded the editor.
"Well, he came pretty near doing
it," said Archbishop Ryan, as he
moved on.

MONEY IN PHEAsANTs.

Zone proof of the fact that there
is no country under the sun with so
many people of wealth as ours, said
the game fancier, sis found in the
large number of English pheasants
imported to this country.
"In 1904 the number was one hun
dred and fifty thousand, and these
were all for table use. Last year an
increase of about 10 per cent. in this
number was reported. The pheasant
is table luxury, and in England,
France, Germany and Belgium they
are reared by the thousands.
"In America breeding is but in its
infancy. In ten years, however, we
may be producing enough to supply
the local demand, and prices will be
cheaper than now. The cheapest
one can be purchased for now is
about So, and from that figure up to
$40 to SIS is demanded.
1.-The English and the Mongolain
pheasants are game birds, and an in
creasing demand for them for preser-
YES of clubs and wealthy owners of
country seats is noted. We have one
breeder in the East who supplies from
two to three thousand season, and
he has to import many in order to
fill all his orders.
"The pheasant is beautiful bird
and by no means difficult to rear or
breed.
"Their plumage is in good demand
for millinery purposes. Taxidermists
pay as high as So and $40 for the
skins of the best marked birds.
"There are varieties of pheasants
that are purely ornamental. They
appeal neither to the cook nor to the
hunter.
"Pheasants cost most in the winter
months. About September I the
breeder adds 10 per cent. to his price.
This holds good until April, when
they quit laying. The pheasant is
as hardy and as easily reared as the
turkey, but they are not domesticated
birds. With the pheasant one is
dealing, with bird that is still sub
ject to the laws of the jungle, and ex-
hibits many of the instincts of the
wild life from which they are really
but few generations removed. They
are but cousins to the grouse or
quail. The longer the breed has
been in activity the more docile
and the better layers they are. p

household is so we'll managed.
The best way to begin home-build-
ing is to go at it as though you never
had, and never expected, any help
from anybody. Do your own climb
ing, and you will stand 6rmer as yon
ascend.
Women sometimes feel that their
work is so insignificant that it doesn't
count, and they grow indifferent to
it, and cease trying to do their very
best. This is a mistake. Woman's
work is the most important work in
the world.
It holds the family together, and
by it your husband is known in the
gates. Who would ever sigh for
"Home, Sweet Home" if there was
nothing In it but a man? No, dear
brides, you are to be the homemak-
ers; you are TO look well to the ways
of your households and eat not the
bread of idleness. Thus will your
children rise up and call you blessed,
thus will you be known and praised
by your neighbors, and be pointed
out as worthy examples for others to
follow, and great peace of mind will
be yours.
My best wishes go with you. May
the Power above bless you and guide
you away from the shoals that have
stranded so many matrimonial ships.

TIDES OF THE OCEAN.

Of all the operations of nature in
the whole world there are none more
regular in their course than the tides
of the ocean. So perfect is their ac-
ton and so constant are they in their
ebb and flow that the big maritime
governments are able to figure out
the height of each and every tide for
every day and night more than
year in advance for any part of the
earth's surface.
In most places the tides run about
four to twenty-four hours-two being
food when the water sweeps in from
the sea and makes what is known as
high water, and two being ebb, when
it sweeps back to the ocean, leaving
low water.
Each of these tides lasts about six
hours, that is, for five hours or more
the waters are on the move, rushing
in or out, and they cease for a time,
standing quite still in some places.
Sometimes tide will run food on
the surface, While 1t is running eDo
below, near the bottom. Places
where this happens are always likely
to make danger spots for the ma
riner.
In the majority of cases the tides
rise and fall only few feet, but on
shores where the banks are very
steep, falling off abruptly into deep
water, it often happens that the tide
when it rises comes in so fast that it
pours through.all narrow openings in
cascade-like torrents, making such
things as the famous ''bores" which
may be seen in places like the Bay OF
Funday.
In other places, again, there will
be more or less than four tides in the
twenty-four hours. Furthermore
there are localities where hardly any
tidal action at all can be observed.
All these peculiarities have been
studied and are taken into account
nowadays by the observers who make
up the tidal tables. .-Meap York Her.

WHY DO PEOPLE COUGH IN CHURCHl

The epidemic of coughing that at
tacks congregation at times is re-
garded as OF sufficient Importance by
a writer in TIE British Medical Tonr-
nal London to merit discussion in
a column article. He is of opinion
that the cause is nervous irritability,
but will not accept the theory of an
American physician that it is due to
prolonged attention, holding that
lack Of attentiveness must rather be
held responsible.
persons who will sit out play or
listen to an interesting conversation
without coughing, seem to be seiz-
ed" he says, "as soon as they COM
pose themselves to hear a sermon,
with distressing irritation fthe wind
pipe that can be relieved only by
violent and continued coughing. The
affection is contagious, spreading from
seat to seat, cough answering unto
cough, till the church is as full of
noise as Prospero's island. AS far as
we know, the etiology of this strange
disease has not received attention
from the scientific Investigator.
/. Is it due to sudden changes of
temperature in the sacred edifce, or
to the sudden inroads of malign
drafts? 1t may be granted that the
eloquence Of some preachers has a
chilling effect, while that of others is
of windy character neither of these
things, however, can be accepted as
0eru cauSG. We note with interest
that the problem has been attacked
from another side by an American
scientist who has studied the epidein-
ic as it occurs in theaters. He has
satisfied himself that there, at least
the coughing which goes far to spoil
the performance is due to reflect ir-
ritation propagated from the ear to
the larnyx. The source of irritation,
according to him, is to be found in
the strain on the auditory apparatus
induced by the effort to hear what is
said on the stage.
This suggests that actors OF the
present day do not know how to use
their voices. It would be a comfort
to preachers if the church cough
could also be explained by overstren-
uous listening. We fear, however,
that solution of the riddle is rather
to be found in what Falstaff calls
the disease of not listening, the NAL
ady of not marking"
''It is related that once upon
time when an author was reading

THE VALUE OF An nAMkN.

The good brethren of the New
York Conference of the M. E. Church
must have felt shock that threaten
ed them with permanent paralysis,
when Editor w. T. Stead told them
that nobody cares d. for an Amen
unless it leads to something" The
distinguished English author and re-
former was pleading for the assistance
of American Methodists in the move
ment for international peace, and his
words stirred the great gathering to
hearty shouts of approval. Amen, "
came in a chorus from all parts OF
the church. Then it was that the
speaker unburdened his feelings, and
in language more forcible than ele-
CANT, gave expression to the small
valuation which he puts upon senti
ment without strenuousness, upon
prayer without powder. And his
valuation was pre- eminently correct.
We can even find it in our hearts to
forgive him the coarse expression OF
his feelings, we can SO thoroughly
appreciate the feelings themselves.
Indeed there is hardly anything more
discouraging, and certainly nothing
more exasperating than the way in
which hosts of really good people
content themselves with some small
measure of sentimental approval for
the moral movements of the world.
That is cheap and easy. Most any
man can find time and place for a
little prayer in behalf of righteous
causes. One can do that sort of thing
in his dressing gown and slippers, BY
a comfortable freside or in the
"cool of the tent" can applaud the
men who are doing battle on the hot,
SCARED plains. But how much is
such praying or applauding worth,
when no real and honest support
goes with it? The "Amen" that
counts is the Amen of an army with
banners. The shout that reaches no
farther than the four walls of a pray
er-meeting has no terrors for the
enemy. Plenty Of worthy folks want
this world to go right and straight,
but they want to bear little or no part
in the making of it 60. A good stiff
fight frightens them half to death, as
if any "goodly heritage" were ever
won without 6ght-from the days
of Canaan's conquest even until now.
A rainy election fastens them up in
the house-they are like cats, afraid
of getting their feet wet. The slight
est pretext of personal business will
hold them aloof from public affairs,
as if public affairs were anything else
| in the world than the affairs ofpersons,
taken in the aggregate. Yes, there
| is no wiping out the fact that, in q
great many instances, the ''best citi
zenship" is the worst citizenship,
because it is too cold OF too indifer'
ent to endure fair share of the hard
knocks by which every civic and
every moral victory is won. Much
oblige, gentlemen, for your "Amens''
and your pats on the back" but
what we want is your enlistment II
the ranks. Indeed, but for this
villainous saltpeter, myself, would
be a soldier" Oh, well, now, if you
can't stand the smell of powder, and
the dust of the fray chokes you, keer
out of it. But for heavens sake
| stop shouting in public, Coward,
Christian soldier )" and just sing
softly to yourself in the privacy o.
your own bedroom, "Ornery Christ
ian Soldier, I'm not worth cuss."
