JAP Competition Hurts Ireland.

That Ireland is suffering from Jap
anese competition was one of the re-
markable facts brought out before a
parliamentary committee recently.
Until recent years the most remun-
erative Irish cottage industry was
drawn needlework. Nowadays this in
dustry is practically dead, having
been killed by the Japanese. The eX-
port to Japan of linen to be made into
drawnwork table covers, ETC., ran up
to 1900 900 cards in 1906.
Irish homeworkers have thus had to
face the competition of the yellow
man.
But" said the inspector of the con-
tested districts board of Ireland, I'VE

Easter Sunday in Rome.

In Rome, as might be expected
Easter Sunday is celebrated witt
elaborate ceremonies. The day i.
ushered/ in by the firing of cannon
| from the castle of st. Angelo, anc
about o'clock carriages with ladies
and gentlemen are beginning to pour
| toward st. Peters. That. magnificent
basilica is richly decorated for the oc-
casion, the affairs are freshly orna-
mented, and the lights around the
tomb and figure of st. Peter are blaz-
ing after their temporary extinction
According to usage, the Pope Off
cfates this day at mass in st. Peters.
and he does so with every imposing
accessory that can be devised. From a
hall in the adjoining palace of the
Vatican he is borne into the church
under circumstances of the utmost
splendor Seated in the sedia gesta-
toria, his vestments blaze with gold.
On his head he wears the tiara, a tall
round gilded cap representing a triple
crown, which is understood to signify
spiritual power, temporal power and
the union of both Beside him are
borne the f1abelli, or large fans, com
posed of ostrich feathers, in which
are set the eye-like parts of peacocks'
feathers, to signify the eyes of vigil
ance of the church. Over him is
borne silk canopy richly fringed.
After officiating at mass at the high
altar the Pope is. with the same cere-
mony and to the sound of music
borne back through the crowded
church to the balcony over the cen
tral doorway. There. rising from his
chair of state and environed bv his
principal officers. he pronounces
benediction. with Indulgence >and all
This is the most imposing
OF all the ceremonies in Rome at This
season On the evening of Easter Sun
day the dome and other exterior parts
OF st Peters are beautifully illuminat-
ed with lamps.-NeM York Hnra1d

The Pope,s Little Joke.

The vatican is chuckling over a lit
tie jest by the pope. His holiness has a
friend in Venice who is sick During
the week he received in audience a
Jewish gentleman who is also friend
of the invalid. In bidding his visitor
farewell the pope said:
IF you see our friend tell him 1
send him my apostolic blessing"
But your holiness" objected the
other, 81 am a Jew
THAT does not matter" retorted the
pope, ''the goods are all right, though
the packing may be bad

(Selected,)

Our crosses are hewn from different
trees,
But we all must have our Calvaries-
We may climb the heights from a diff
ferent side,
But we each go up to be crucified:
AS we scale the steep another may
share,
The dreadful load that our sbo,Ida.,
may bear,
But the costliest sorrow is all our
own
For on the summit we must bleed
alone
AS Christ hath bled.

St. Patrick a Protestant.

(By a Poor Puzzled Irishman.)
The Baptists claim ST Patrick now,
The Methodists assert he's theirs,
The Congregationalists avow
His creed with theirs exactly squares
The High church wants him for its
own,
The Low church, too, our saint you'd
win,
But what I want to know is this:
Where do we Catholics come in?
For years he has been ours alone
For Patrick and his honOred name
We've faced the tyrant on the throne,
We've borne the burden and the
blame.
But now that he's become the rage
With folks of every creed and kin.
cannot keep from wond'ring where
Do we poor Catholics come in?
All, sweet St Patrick, saint of ours!
Full well you know your own. l ween!
We did not wait for sunny hours
To wear your own beloved green.
This sudden admiration-sur
Twill die away like every din,
But Irish love will still endure
That's where we Catholics come in.
