POULTRY RAISING FAST :
BECOMING AN INDUSTRY

Few people realize the present magni-
tide and future possibilities OF the poul-
try industry in America It Is not gener-
ally known. even among our agricultural
sits. that the American hen eats more
different kinds OF feed, digests them moro
completely and returns more profit to the
owner and more fertility to the land than
any other form OF live stock.
For n number of years our state and
national authorities have meen empha-
sizing the Importance of poultry keeping
as rapid and sure means OF making a
comfortable living. and at the same time
greatly improving or rough or barren
farms. This agitation I'm itself is COM
mendable. but its danger lies In the fact
that many are induced to risk their all

knowledge and experience to achieve sue
cess The poultry industry will yield
greater net profit on the investment than
almost any other industry. but It's prose-
cution on a large scale calls for n high
degree OF skill and constant application.
The amount or capital required TO en-
gage I'm the business Is not large. the work
is pleasant. and a good market Is assured,
but an inexperienced beginner will avoid
much loss OF time and money by attend
ing some good course in poultry husban-
dry at one OF our state agricultural coll
ard at a minimum expense n thoroughly
practical knowledge OF every phase OF
the poultry industry. These colleges do
:iot expect to turn out experienced poul-
trvmen In three months time, but they
enable the student TO secure the truth
from the vast amount OF poultry fiction.
and they 9elp him 10 avoid the errors that
have wrecked many n worthy venture
Colleges giving such courses Of in
struotion In handling poultry are Cornell
university. Ithaca, N. ", Connecticut
Agricultural College. Storrs. Connecti-
cut. and Rhode Island Agricultural col
lege. Kingston. r.. I. The latter was the
first college In America to undertake this
work. and offers two 12-weeks' poultry
courses for men and one nine-weeks'
course for women each year. The plan Of
instruction at Cornell and Storrs is SINH

each course. and many expert poultrymen

New York, July 29.-Fourteen persons.
mostly women and children, met death
last night in fire In crowded East
Side tenement house. followed by an ex-
plosion which shattered the walls OF the
six-story building at 222 Christie street,
and sent its crumbling front crashing
into the street. More than score were
injured.
The cries of persons burning to death
rent the air for squares around and made
the catastrophe one OF the most har-
rowing of the many similar disasters
which have occurred IN that section.
The building was occupied on the
ground floor as a grocery and the other
stories were the homes OF about 20
families. numbering about 100 persons,
mostly Italians. The explosion occurred
at time when most Of them were sound
asleep.

origin of the Name Mary,

There are few Catholic parents to
to give the child the name Mary. In
whom a daughter is born who hesitate
so doing. they wish to place the infant
under the protection of Mary. the
mother of Christ, and they are not
troubled by chronological discussions
about the name. Hitherto. the liturgy
OF the church and tradition have
agreed in regarding the name as of
purely Hebrew origin, and meaning
Star of the Sea" In a recent article
the German theologian, Father Zorell
asks if we may not consider the name
as formed of two elements, Hebrew
and Egyptian.
AS g. matter Of fact. the name Mary
is first heard in Egypt. Miriam the

in the worlds history to bear the
name. The Israelites had, in the days

Respected ParnelI's Work.

The Rev Thomas Long, who has
just retired from the incumbency of
ST. Michan's Protestant Church, Dub
lin, is a mellow and interesting per-
sonality. Most wearers Of his cloth
in Ireland are unfortunately narrow
minded, and noted both for their anti
Irish and anti-Catholic bias. But there
have been brilliant exceptions. Ber-
kelley and Swift, and Bedell Cleaver
and Close were Irish Protestant prel-
ates and clergymen, who We're distin-
guished for their genuine patriotism,
while several of our most brilliant Irish
Nationalists have been the sons of
Protestant clergymen-for instance,
John Mitchell and Douglas Hyde
The Rev. Mr.. Long, who. after twen-
ty-four years service at ST. Michan's,
has just retired to enjoy we'll earned
rest, does not see eye to eye with the
majority of his compatrots on political
matters. He is not exactly National
list. but all the same he is genuinely
patriotic and broadminded. On one
historic occasion he stood out in bold
relief from his brethren in the min
istry
When the remains Of Parnell were
about to be brought to Dublin, to the
eternal discredit of the Protestant
clergy of the metropolis, not one Of
them would consent to receive the re.
mains in his church while awaiting in
terment till Mr. Long stepped forward
and offered with true Christianity the
last solemn hospitality of which his
country could offer to one who had
served it we'll and loved it dearly,
whatever his private faults may have
been. The Irish people never forgot
this action of Mr.. Longs, and the
quiet, retiring clergyman from that day
earned a niche "in the unforgetting
heart Of Ireland"
1t was fitting that such an estimable
clergyman as Mr.. Long should have
been rector of st. Michan's. which ie
ane Of the most historic chuches IL

of Lord Edward Fitzgerald. and of
