INSURING AGAINST
UNEMPLOYMENT

Insurance against unemployment is
a form of industrial insurance that is
now receiving Il good deal of attention
in England. Consul General Grihiths
of London gives an outline of an OK.
periIncntal plan to he presented by
Winston Churchill. president of the
British Board of Trade, to Parliament.
The purpose Of the movement il O make
insurance against unemployment com.
pulsory by parliamentary enactment.
and to test the merits of the plan il is
proposed to enact Il law that shall
apply to certain trades particularly
subject to dcprcssions. BY this means
1t is hoped to give stability to the in.
dustrics, while affOrding protection to
the workers.
The trade in which it is proposed to
apply the system first arc those Of
building. ship building. engineering.
construction work and vehicle making =.
which IRE said to comprise one third of
all tho employees of the United Kingdom
engaged in purely industrial occup
tions.
If the law should prove effective it is
the intention to enlarge the scope from
time to time. 40 rs to include other
trades. II is expected that contributions
Of about five cents II week will be re-.
quircd from each worker, the employer
and the state each To add a similar
amount. The annual contribution of
an employer Of 800 men is estimated
not to exceed $3.50 or $ld5O.

my friend that is your own fault. AL
drich and Cannon have made it possible
for You to supply yourself with the
great blessings of salicvlic acid at Il
price less than it could have been
bought for before this tariff law went

Of the privilege that Aldrich and Uncle
Joe have given you, whose fault is it?
There \ be bu: one answer to that
question. 1t is yours, sir, yours.
Then again, the duty On that com-
MOI necessary of life, blue yitriol, was
reduced 80 per cent. Think for 4
moment of the amount of blue vitriol
that the plain COMMON people of this
country are using every day. Why
complain about the increased cost of
clothing when the cost of blue vitriol is
reduced?
Then again there is chloroforln on
which the duty is lowered 30 per cent.
If you feel panied ovcr the increased
cost of gloves and stockings you know
that You can have surcease of sorrow
by taking c%hloraforin, and ii can De OBJ
iained ut Il reduced rate.
Here, then, are three great neccS-
saries of life, salicylic acid, blue Wit
riol and chloroform. that have been
materially reduced in price by the
efforts of Aldrich and Joe Cannon.
Knowing how vitality important these
things were to the great mass of the
people, these noble patriots, Aldrich
and Uncle joe, never rested until the
reduction was made in the duty.
And this was not all. There was
another necessary of life that these
peerless champions of the people de-
tcrmined should De reduced in cost.
With a high and noble purpose to see
that the price of the nccessaries of life
was lcssened they secured Il reduction
of p per cent on the tariff on glue.
And 50, ladies and gentlemen, when
YOU are roasting Cannon and Aldrich,
pause and consider what they have done
for you. Think for n moment of the
fact that II reduction has beer made I'M
the price of glue, salicylic acid, blue
vitriol, chlorOform and borax. We had
forgotten to mention borax heretofore,
but wish To he fair. The duty ON borax
is also reduced 10 per cent. And yet
there are those who will claim that Joe

SMALLEST CHURCH IN THE
WORLD,

The Catholic church in Penon, a sub
urb of the City of Mexico, is said to be
the smallest in the world. In general
appearance this tiny structure some
what resembles the oldest Catholic
church in Mexico, situated In Mexico
City, but the Penon church is much
smaller. The Penon church can COM
fortably accommodate as many as ten
worshipers. 1t contains little altar be-
fore which the marriage ceremonies of
the young people of the village are per-
formed. So small is the altar that there
is hardly room for the bride and groom
to stand before it side by side. The
door into the church is so low that a
man of ordinary height cannot enter
without STOPPING. The roof is sur
mounted with two small steeples in
which the ever present bells hang and
are rung as regularly as the big bells
in the great cathedral of the city. The
total height Of the Penon church, in
Guiding the steeples, is not more than
one-half that of the great doors of the
big cathedral The Penon church serves
as place of worship for the entire pop
ulation of the little village where it is
situated. When the interior becomes
crowded the parishioners patiently wait
until some of the communicates leave
and there is room for them to enter

THE GENERAL INTENTION FOR

RULERS AND STATESMEN.

The governments of the world today
are far from the ideal of Christian state
hood. Through me rulers rule and
statesmen decree justice" says Divine
Wisdom; but a very different councillor
is at the right hand of kings today.
Some follow no faith at all; others ar
rogate spiritual headship; while the few
who profess Catholicity find their eff
forts and influence neutralized by the
open opposition of secret intrigue of
the goddess.
Yet the burden resting on rulers and
statesmen is one of vast responsibility.
To them is entrusted the welfare of
millions; trade, manufacture, agricul-
ture, education, domestic prosperity and
national honor, all are dependent ulti-
mately on the country's rulers and
statesmen; and these myriad issues
have to be so harmonized that temporal
success bring not eternal ruin. Yet
amid the pride of the farmer the latter
is often forgotten. Hence the people
at large, who reap the social blessings
Of good government, owe that same
government the gratitude of their
prayers.
None will deny the duty of each citi-
zen to contribute his share to the ceono-
my of the nation: far more are we
bound to give our rulers and statesmen
spiritual aSSlSJdnce. SucH Help is III TIC
power Of all, and is a duty from which
neither poverty nor employment can
excuse us. Our Holy Father in his
watchful solicitude is reminding us of
this claim upon our charity. He knows
its Importance. for he is both ruler and
statesman himself; and the very full
ness of his wisdom reveals to him the
wants of fellow rulers. Let us join him
in recommending to our Lord those
whose influence for good or for evil is

Refusing the Last sacraments.

There is nothing from which the
church shrinks with such horror as the
refusing of the last sacraments to those
who are about to pass to judgment. She
pleads, she temporizes. she importunes,
she threatens, she appeals to hone, to
fear. to love, to every sentiment and
when all has been tried to no purpose,
she renders the inevitable decision.
1t may SAVIOR of cruelty to deny the
last rites of the church to any soul. But
what else can the Catholic church do?
The sanctity of the sacraments is in
her keeping. She must see to it that
every recipient is adorned with becom-
ing dispositions. She can make no COM
promise with the evil though the heaven
fall.-Catholic Transcript

A NEEDED WARNING.

Catholics should be on their guard
against the inducements held out to
prospective subscribers by the publish
ers of some of the secular magazines.
One of these worthless offers a Travel Lii
brary, which includes John Hays infa-
nous book, "Castilian Days. Catholic
parents, as we have a thousand times
remarked, cannot be too careful about
their children's reading. Some books
that a grown-up person could read with
profit as well as pleasure are not to be
put into the hands of young folk. Among
such books we should include even the
works Of many standard authors.-Ave

How is it with thee. dear reader, in
regard to the three pence? Is thy money
only spending money, dost thou only
live. continually from hand to mouth,
then thy situation is certainly very bad.
Alas, alas, this golden rule of the
three pence has almost entirely gone
out of use with the majority of people,
so that the poet has justly trumpeted
forth to the world the following warn
ing:
mo thought of the first doth memory

The second to credit hath given its
place:
The third flashes around in maddest

Hath many one with sorrow fraught."

Cataract, communicating between the
floor of the confession in the church and
the tomb below, through which it was
the custom in the middle ages for pill
grims to lower handkerchiefs and other
objects and cause them to touch the
body of ST Peter. Father Grisar meas
ured the Cataract and found it partly
filled with rubbish; consequently he
could not explore the tomb, but he is
convinced that it is still intact The

Grisar was partially explored on three
