A Nation Without Children.

Clifford Howard in Lippincott's.)
As though we had not already enough
worriment, lodging automobiles and
taking orders from the cook, we are
now told that $50 years hence there will
be no more children. Viewed from
either pole of the situation this is in
deed a woeful prophecy. If you are a
lover of children it makes your blood
run cold to realize that they are so soon
to be added to the schedule of extinct
animals. along with the dodo and the
sabre toothed tiger; while if you be-
long to the opposite class it is equally

The Street Singer of the South of
Ireland

We are very pleased to insert the fol-
lowing contribution from the pen of
Boyle O'Grady dealing with THE Street
Singer of the South of Ireland" The
character sketch Of the Railway Porter
by Cabin we are holding over for next
week.-Editor.
1 have been following with pleasure
and admiration the charming "Charac-
ter Sketches" Of your delightful contrib
utor, BY Cabin. His Ballad Singer"
which appeared in the issue of The In
termountain Catholic for May %, is
doubtless a west Of Ireland character,
and is a little different in his makeup
and peculiarities from his brother of
the south of Ireland. The Irish street
ballad singer is daily growing less, and
in a few years will be but memory.
Many causes have conspired to bring
about the decline of the street singing
clan, and, owing to the peaceable condi-
ton of Ireland today, no new material
for its genius is at hand. The old pro-
auctions are a drug on the market, and
the once popular and unique character
the street singer is compelled to say
farewell to his peculiar, if not profit
able pursuits, and seek other means of
earning livelihood.
How different it was in the early days
Of the land war, when the PEASANTS
blood was always at the boiling point
for some such welcome and sensational
event as the shooting of a landlord or
land agent, or the arrest, Imprisonment
or liberation Of popular home ruler.

collie IN HORSES.
Causes, Symptoms and the Common
Method Of Treatment.

Causes, Symptoms and the Common
Method Of Treatment.
1t is more or less common on farms
having a considerable number Of
horses to each year have one or more
cases among them of natulent collie.
More especially is this true where
horses are being fitted for the market.
necessitating heavy grain feeding.
In a work issued by the United
States department Of agriculture, en-.
titled Diseases Of the Horse" this
subject is discussed in detail, in which
the common methods Of treatment. It
is pointed out that among the most
frequent causes of this form Of collie
are to be mentioned sudden changes
Of food. too long fasting, food given
while the animal is exhausted, new
hay or grain. large quantities Of green
food, food that has lain in the manager
for some time and become sour, indi-
gestible food, irregular teeth. crib
biting, and. in fact, anything that pro-
duces indigestion may cause fatulent
collie.
The symptoms Of wind collie are not
so suddenly developed, not SO severe
as those Of cramp collie. At first the
horse is noticed to be dull, paws
slightly and may or may not lie down.
The pains from the start are continu-
Gus. The belly enlarges. and by strik-
ing It in front of the launches a drum
Styo
lieved the above symptoms are aggra-
waited, and in addition there are no.
ticed difficult breathing. bloodshot
eyes and red mucuous membranes.
loud. tumultuous heart beat. profuse
perspiration. trembling of the front
legs. signing respiration, staggering
from side to side and finally plunging
forward dead. The diagnostic symp-
@toms Of iatulent collie are the disten-
sion of the bowels with gas, detected
by the bloated appearance and reso-
nance on percussion.
The treatment for wind collie differs
very materially from that of cramp
collie. AbSorbents are of some sery-
ice. and charcoal may be given in any
quantity. Relaxants are also benef-
cial in this form of collie. Choral hy-
drate not only possesses this quality,
but 1t is also pain reliever 1t is
then particularly well adapted to the
treatment Of wind collie and should be
given in one ounce doses in a pint OF
water. Diluted alcohol or whisky may
be given or aromatic spirits of am.
monia in one ounce doses at short In.
tervals- A physic should always be
given in fiatulent collie as early as
possible the best being one ounce
doses of Barbados aloes Injections
per rectum. of turpentine. one to two
ounces, linseed oil. eight ounces may
be given frequently to stimulate the
peristaltic motion OF the bowels and
favor the escape OF wind Blankets
wrung out Of hot water do much te
afford relief. They should be renewed
every ave or ten minutes and covered
with q dry wooden blanket This form
Of collie is much more. fatal. thar
