a good woman Of old time PHILADELPHIA

Grimm quotes the facts concerning this
Protestant apostle from Mr.. Georra

8, 1907. 1t is interesting to note what
became Of the jealous Protestant ladv

fields, to which nature has been SO
bountifully lavish, watered with tears
and enriched with blood.
Rev. Thomas Walsh, in his Church
of Erin" writing on the subject, says:
"All Popish prelates, vicars-seneral.
DEANS Jesuits, monks and all others
of their religion, who exercised eccle-
siastical jurisdiction in Ireland, were
ordered by act of Parliament to de-
part from the kingdom, and in case
of return were subjected to imprison-

parts; whence if they returned they
were liable to be arraigned as traitors.

ors that the number of priests alone
shipped from Ireland in few weeks,
were: 1853 from Dublin, 800 from CAL

terford-in all total Of 444."
AS a pendant to the foregoing and
to form an idea of what the Irish peo-
pie suffered, suffice it to quote from
a pamphlet written by T. D. Guard
and published in London in 1647. It
serves to show what the English peo-
pie were, and what the topics were
that excited their interest and their
appreciation.
At the time there was In prepara-
ton an expedition to go to Ireland.

author of the infamous pamphlet voic-
ing the sentiments Of the English peo-
pie, thus protested against the delay:
II beg upon my hands and knees that

of our soldiery are hot, to whom !

few could be seen. For catching and
caging one of these magpies was a
heavy fpe, yet they were poisoned
wholesale. If the government would
provide the settlers with wire netting
at cost price it would be an immense
boon.
Some of the members doubted wheth-
err the government could properly go
into the bushes of selling wire netting
and whether it could afford the big ex-
pense of wirenetting the crown lands.
1t was urged on the other hand that
the government of New South Wales
had purchased wire netting and sold it
to the farmers at cost price and Tas-
mania ought to do the same. The pre-
mler and Tasmania said that the pro-
posal to provide wire netting for set
tiers and others who would wire net
their lands would receive the serious
consideration Of the government.-Dai-

Habits Of Mind.

Men often realize that q well trained
mind is a great asset in business; yet
seldom do We see comment upon the
fact that it is also invaluable in social
and domestic relations. The mind, af
ter a. certain stage is passed. works au-
tomatically, in kindness as in calcula-
ton
This is noticeable in the study of pro-
nounced characters. Men are enabled
to act quickly in emergency only by in
tuition; and it follows that when-a man
is habitually kind, or merciful or con-
siderate, or all three, he will be 50 in
the crisis Of his life.
Character is matter Of slow forma-
ton. In pronounced form it is rare.
The average is mixture of many lines
Of training:, hence, vacillation. The
more pronounced, the more forceful for
certain efforts.
1t Is in babyhood that the formation
begins, and in the earlier years are laid
bases which after effort may never be
able to remove. Environment. of course
is one factor. The child brought up ia
an atmosphere of kindness, courtesy,
mercy. generosity, etc, is likely, al
though not certain. to remain SO.
In any event, the. main thought is
that we too frequently forget that
trained minds have possibilities beyond
money-making. The mind is ever a
tryant. The money-grubber cannot re-
form after d certain period: and he who
has, reached forty generous will FIND
difficulty in becoming miser. even ii
so minded, when past that period

TASMANIAN RABBITS.
Government Importation Of Wire Net.
ting Urged to Curb This Pest.

In a debate in the parliament of Tas>
mania with reference to wire netting
protection against the rabbit pest the
remarks which were made suggest the
excellent market Tasmania would af-
ford for wire netting.
One member stated that they were
endeavoring to promote closer settle
ment on crown lands, giving advances
to settlers. promoting immigration, and
doing their best to induce people to
go on the land and keep them there.
But they were doing nothing to cope
with the great evil small farmers had
to contend against-the rabbit pest.
The government lands were overrun
with the pest, and little was done to
keep them down by poisoning. They
had tried trapping, shooting. and pOis-
oling in some quarters, but the pest
still multiplied, while the birds and the
flocks and herds We're poisoned. In
the district he represented this was a
matter that affected the very life of
the farmers. One man had written to
him that he had been farming 20 years,
and it was questionable If he could go
on any longer because Of the rabbits.
The only effecutal way to deal with
the pest, he said, was with wire net
ting The settlers did not want one
penny from the government. but they
asked that the government import wire
netting, sell it to the settlers at cost
price, and give them reasonable time
to pay for it.
Another member said that he
thought the government should help to
exterminate the rabbit pest, just as 1t
was trying to do with the San Jose
scale, and if the government would on
" import a few hundred miles of wire
netting it would be able to get it much
cheaper than any settler who wanted
few miles only of the fencing. The
government should at least try to pre-
vent the small farmers from being
ruined by rabbits bred on the crown
lands. Another member said that the
laying of rabbit poison did a great
deal of harm by the wholesale des-
truction of native birds, kangaroo,
wallaby, and other game. Years ago
the black and white magpies, most use
full birds to the farmers, were to be
seen in hundreds. while today very

the operate stage. But Dr.. Deane
now had patients and was not looking
for another occupation.
A week from the following Sunday a
newspaper published an frustrated ar
ticle upon the violet case There was
picture of Dr.. Deane singing with
Miss Winthrop. and romance be-
tween them was vaguely linte,l.
Deane tore his hair when lie read
this article, but Miss Wiothrrp came
to see him and laughed about it. 9th
err people came to see him. They were
patients. and their pockets were full
Of money.
And the publicity did not cease. 1t
was cleverly kept going by Kendall.
This was the veteran doctors amiable
revenge. He knew we'll enough why
Deane had avoided him, and it was his
pet joke to get the younger mans name
into the papers. Reporters came to see
Deane, and they We're such good fell
lows that he couldn't turn them away.
He was in the swim, and he couldn't
get out Of it.
Upon a certain day Miss Elsa Ken.
dali and her father came to New York,
and the girl was left to her own de-
vices while the gentleman attended to
some business. Elsa found her way to
a certain address, and there she saw
several carriages waiting before door.
So she walked around the block slowly
until but one carriage remained. Then
she ventured in.
She was escorted to a reception
room, where she waited alone. In
drawing. room adjoining voices were
singing with heavenly sweetness-Syd-
ney Deane's voice and Miss Winthrop's
beyond a doubt. So the stories in the
papers were true. He had fallen in
love with this singer. Elsa charged It
to her uncle, and she hated him.
1t was useless to remain there. She
would leave the house at once, and Sc
cretly. She stepped into the hall. Ths
voices had now ceased. Suddenly the
door Of the drawing room opened, and
Nine. Sylvester and Miss Winthrop
came out. Elsa shrank back into the
reception room, but she had had one
glimpse Of the brilliant beauty Of her
rival, and her heart was sore in her
breast.
Deane escorted his guests to their
carriage and returned to meet q sup

emotions which music had excited. the
sudden sight Of Elsa touched the In
