Next in order came the refreshment
tables at which ice cream, cake and
other good things were served to the
guests during the afternoon and even
inc. This committee did thriving
business and was composed of the
following: Mrs. John T. Crotty, Mrs.
Joseph Gordon, Mrs. Henry Welsh,
Mrs John Rovane, Mrs, James Cam
eron. Mrs. James Stafford, Mrs. Ar
thur Griffin, Miss Mary Griffin and
Miss Della Concannon. This commit
tee also had large booth decorated
in purple and lavender at which all
kinds of candies were for sale
Although Mrs. Sarah H. Rand, pres
ident of the Ladies Aid Society was
NOT on any of the committees above
named it was mainly through her work
and Manning that the affair was such
success. Mrs. Rand was in charge OF
the bazaar and arranged the many fea-
tures which made it so universally
successful.
The bazaar is doubtlessly the larg'
est one ever given by ST. Peters, al
though an affair Of this kind is given
each year. In the afternoon the chill
dren we're dismissed from school and
patronized the bazaar at this time
In the evening the attendance was
largely composed of older people and
II was gratifying to the society to sec
tae many present from other church
es OF the city. The money made las'
evening will b. added to the 1908 funt

NIGHT WORKERS OF PARIS.

Rolling cabs grow rarer, and about
 2 o'clock the long-deferred repose claims the greater part of Paris.
 Then 1t is that those for whom the
 night becomes a workshop appear in the street. There are celebrated figures amongst these owls. There is the ramasseur de tabae. the limp, ragged tramp whose trade is pro- claimed as he suddenly dashes to a drain or a gutter and lifts from the pavement the butt of cigarette or a cigar. His quests lead him to haunt the fronts of the cafes at night--he may slink where he will; he is a workman, and the police respect his labor. Other figures ragged as he, bowed as he, glide and slip from the dark corners where the gems d'arme rout them out. They slink through the open squares like dark birds of endless passage down across the lighted city in search of port: port of such as these are the night refuges or the river-bed-restless couch, never too full to put to bed one more. These vagrants rouse themselves from the dark benches where the summer night would glad ly mantle them if the police were not too zealous. There are, still friend less and homeless in France in spite of the excellent care of the govern ment. In Belleville. the White chapel of Paris. there are faces that suggest the misery of the famous Faubourg St Antoine in the days be- fore the Bastile fell. but under the Paris lights these are the only shadows.-Marie Van Worst in liar per's Magazine.

HE VISITS AMERICA.
What Ireland Owes to Sir Horace Plunkett.

After spending nine years in the dry climate of Wyoming where he
 recovered his lost health and gained
 a thorough insight into our demo-
 cratic institutions, this descendant
 of generations of Irish landlords re-
 turned to his native country some
 19 years ago to bravely face and
 work out one of the most difficul,
 problems that any man of this gen
 era ion has had to encounter. His most interesting and instructive
 book, Ireland in the Twentieth Gen.
 tury," tells the story of his strug,
 gle. He first made a careful study
 of the agricultural, industrial, poli-
 tieal. social and religious life or
 Ireland. In order to accomplish
 his purpose he entered political life and was returned for parliament
 from County Dublin. He secured
 from the conservative party legisla- tion which made 1t possible to send
 experts into the various countries of Europe to study conditions and see how the methods employed for the betterment of rural life were ap- plicable to Ireland. The report of the recess committee of parliament is most valuable document.
 Following this came the years of struggle in which an endeayor was made to persuade the English and Irish people 10 adopt the best of these methods. A cooperative move ment known as the Irish Agricultur~ al Organization society was started with the idea of helping the Irish farmers to associate themselves in cooperative creameries. Raiffeisen banks. buying of seed and fertilizers, and of disposing of their products to advantage. At the same time a de- partment known as the department of agriculture and technical instruc- tion was formed. Relations were established between this department and the Irish Agricultural Organiza- tion society and a movement for the improvement of the social, intellect ual and industrial life was com menced. To-day 90,000 Irish far. CTS are associated in cooperative Catholic priests anu Protestant sehoolmasters sit side by side on boards for the management of creameries and agricultural banks. Irish boys have in the creameries and other organizations for acquiring business habits that are of incalculable value to themselves and their communi- ties. The writer saw when he yfs- ited recently County Wexford. the improved houses. farms, gardens. horses. cows, swine. sheep. which are coming as a result of this CO., operative movement.
 The United States. and especially the south. has much to learn from Sir Horace PIgnkett. 1t is A cause for congratulation that his business interests make yearly visit 10 this country imperative. = Southern
