THE PARENTAL LOVE.

A recent incident in New Haven formed striking illustration of the affection and loyalty of parents toward their children. A father permitted hospital surgeons to resort to that dangerous expedient of drawing blood from his body to be infused into that of his son in an effort to save the life of the latter who was thought to be dying as result of gas sutfocation. It is one of the most difficult and most dangerous operations known to surgery and the father permitted it with the full know ledge that it might result in the sacrifice of his life. Fortunately it was success full and the patient is on the road to recovery.
 Nearly every day the newspapers tell of sacrifices of similar nature on the parts of parents and these instances should furnish food for thought on the part of sons and daughters whose parents are living. It should be an in oentive to them to give these parents all possible care. attention, respect and consideration and thus fortify them selves against the sorrows and regrets that will cone III after years to those in whom filial devotion is lacking. It is true, deplorable truth, that in any community may be found young men and women who apparently have little love for their homes or respect for their parents. In many instances this dis regard and seeming lack of appreciation is the result of thoughtlessness on the part of young people rather than a deliberate refusal to respect the parental wishes or to pay to father or mother the deference to which they are entitled. If the young man or young woman who reads these lines is one of the thought less ones, let him or her pause long enough to analyze that parental love and devotion. Glance over the past and recall the instances of sacrifice or self denial on the part of the parents for the benefit of the child, then con- sider the aforementioned incident where father jeopardized his life to save that of his son,
 The time for children to appreciate their parents is now. Tomorrow. next week. next month may be too late.

The Irish Bird Charmer.

Wid more or less O tuneful grace,
 AS fits Celtic singer, I've praised the great bird of our race, " The stork, the blessin' bringer. When first to my house roof he came,
 How sweetly he WIS sung to I called him every dacint name
 That I could lay my tongue to. But, glory be that praise from me
 So pleased the simple crayture Ills visits here have come to be
 A sort O second nature. I'm glad to see him now an then,
 But, glory be to Heaven IF here he isn't back again,
 An this is number seven Och though this gift O song may be
 In many ways blessin', It brings some popularity
 That gets to be distressin', Now, mind, I love this Irish bird
 We couldn't live widout him An, sure I'll not take back word ever said about him, But now when all these mouths to feed
 Ate up our little savin's, The birds whose visits most we need
 Are ould Elisha's ravens. Begor' if they were round these days
 An I could make them hear me, I'd sing them such song O praise
 'Twould keep them always near me. T. A. DAILY in the Catholic Standard and Times.

No Truth in it.

No Truth in it.
 The rumor has been persistently cir culated during the past few days that Elsie, the little daughter of MT. and Mrs. John P. Rains, Is i'll with scarlet fever. There is not a particle of truth in the statement as the girl is in her usual health and has just returned from Brooklyn where she has been visiting for number of days. Nor are any of the other occupants of the Porter build ing ill. MT. Rains lessee of the building informs us that there has not been & case of contagious disease in the build ing since its erection. These rumors relative to the illness of the children of MT. Rains and of MT. Werner have had the effect of curtailing the business of both men for number of days past. Borden BriefTets
 The delivery of milk at the plant, which during the past few weeks has been the lowest in years because of the drouth and the consequent difficulty ex- perlence Ill getting water for the COWS, is beginning to increase somewhat as it always does at this season.
 The number of men now employed is the smallest in the history of the plant. There are but 20 at work. During times of flush milk the number usually increases to 30.
 A new milk bottling machine is soon to be installed in the plant. It will take the place of the present hand operated machine. The capacity of the new ma chine will probably not be greater than that of the one new in use but the Ad- vantage will lie Ill the ease of operation by steam power.

The ordinances of the city of New Haven permit the operation of automo- piles within the city limits at a speed of 25 miles per hour. Think of it! This is nearly as fast az the average accommo- dation train runs on a steam road. Three persons have been killed in that city by this reckless running. Now that these fatalities have occurred, there is talk of making the speed limit eight miles per hour, reduction of more than two-thirds. The suggestion comes late but better late than never.'

SECRETARY OF STATE BOARD OF

FOR PROJECTION OF HEALTH
OF INDIANA SCHOOL CHILDREN

Indianapolis, Ind. Dec. S.-pr. ]. y.
Hurry. of the State Board of Health.
has made rough draft of bill which
the State Board will present 10 the
coming session of the Legislature. for
the lettering of schoolhouse condi-
tons in Indiana. The name under
which the bill will be presented is; A
bill for an act entitled. an act 10 pro-
tect and conserve the lives of school
children, providing for medical inspec-
ton; providing healthful school hous-
es and requiring the teaching of ny
giene."
The proposed act would require that
| the site of school buildings built after
| il went into effect be dry. This. said
DR.. Hurry, would do away in time with
1000 damp and moldy buildings in
which Indiana children are nov at
| tending school. and in which consump-
tives are being made. The law would
require school buildings TO be sanitary
! Sanitary buildings can be erected, he
says, as cheaply or more cheaply than
insanitary buildings.
The principles of proper lighting and
| seating are set out in the proposed
| act. likewise the principles of heating
| and ventilating. Rules with regard to
water supply and drinking arrange
ments are fixed. The old water buck
ct and the tin cup are most ingenious
methods OF transmitting diphtheria
and scarlet fever" DIR. Hurry said and
hundreds of children have been killed
through their use"
Sewerage disposal and the cleaning
and disinfecting of buildings are pro-
vided for.
| We are trying TO save lives and to
prevent about 10000 cases of sickness
among school children annually" DR..

COMPL Amt IS MADE
Another Junker Placed on the
West Richmond Street
Car Line.
RELIEF WAS VERY SHORT

After having been made the dump
line for the city street car system dur
ing the summer and early winter sea-
son, patrons of the West Richmond
route were surprised about two weeks
ago to see remodeled car on that line
They were tickled with joy. They
could ride without freezing to death or
being suffocated by the dust that came
through the floors, sides of the car or
broken windows. But there were
some who feared it was really too good
to be true. They doubted If it could
last, and recent developments have
shown their doubts were not without
reason.
Another change has been made and
now - spot" appears on the West
Richmond line. This car is but BIZ
of scrap iron, fit for the junk heap. Ii
has wheels under it and a trolley pole
and manages to move. 1t looks very
much as if it had been used as a base
ball by Hercules when playing on the
Atlas nine. 1t rattles something
fierce and West Richmond children
are frightened to death when theil
mothers tell them if they don't be gooc
she will take them a street car ride
It's too bad nothing was said in tha
new franchise about equipment.

prospector who claims to have dis
covered the big Colby Mine, a Gogebic

that he was euchred out of it He was
never married and practically his
whole life has been spent in prospect
ing For the last five years he has
