The death of Rev. Eugene O'Sulli-
van, who was formerly parish priest OF
Ballylongford, occurred recently. The

the pastorship of that parish owing

ton that he deplored his having learned
1t only in the decline of his days. Had
L known it sooner he exclaimed, II
would have said it every day"
So poignant was his regret that he
set about making up for lost time, and
according to chronic1er of the hospital.
he said his Beads with the rapidity of
a traveller who is walking under the
burning sun and seeks to gain the
shade. Having no hope of recovery, he
naively declared: IF the Blessed Vir-
gin will help me to live two years, I'll
say the Beads as often as there have
been days in my life Inquiring as to
the number of days in sixty years, and
being told that there are q, 900, he then
asked: How many times day must 1
say the Beads in order to complete that
number in two years?'' Thirty times,
was the reply. Forthwith he imposed
upon himself the task of reciting the
Rosary thrice ten times daily. In two
years he completed his 21,900th recita-
ton. And he said no more. At the hour
when his task was finished he expired,
while speaking his last Hail Mary"
His soul, let US hope, then assembled to
heaven to contemplate in glory her
whose Rosary had been the consolation
of his old age-Pittsburg Observer.

Encouraging Your Husbanda

Ask him. every little while why is
it we never have anything like other
people; never go anywhere?"
Do not fail to tell him now and then
that he has been hard up for money
ever since you were married.
Do not forget to twit him with the
fact that he took you out of COM
Portable home and buried you in an
obscure, out-of-the-way place, and that
he never has time to go anywhere
with you.
Do not forget to remind your hus-
band often that your children do not
dress as other children do; that the
girls should take music LESSONS from
the best teachers, and that they should
have a first class piano and other
things to correspond.
Do not encourage your children to
wear their clothes a long time and
never try to make them over. When
a garment begins to show wear, to get
a little out Of date just cast it aside
and get a new one. New clothes look
so much fresher and smarter than old
ones. and one feels so much better in
them

When You Go Visiting.

Do not stay too long. 1t is a great
thing to break into the life of any fam
lily even for few days. Pay no at
tention to requests to stay longer,
however sincere they seem. Set a
time to go when you arrive and stick
to it.
Conform absolutely to the house.
hold arrangements, especially as to the
hours of rising, going to meals and
retiring. Be ready in ample time for
drives or excursions.
Carry with you all requisite toilet
supplies. that you may not be obliged
to mortify your hostess by pointing
out possible deficiencies in the room
you occupy, such as a clothes brush,
the article most commonly lacking
1t is almost always wise in the mid
die of your visit to go off somewhere
by yourself for a day, to rest your en-
tertainers.
Another thing. Don't ask direct per-
sonal questions. If your friends have
anything of special interest to tell you
about themselves, be assured they will
tell you. Don't pry into matters which
they show desire to shun
Let family skeletons alone Be
tactful and considerate. If you should
happen to blunder on any unpleasant
secret, let 1t remain a secret Few
persons on earth are meaner than
those who accept the hospitality of
others and then gossip about them

Rather Venomous.

A tenderfoot who visited the Yosem-
lite in the old days thus related his ex-
perience: The stage driver found out
that he was seriously afraid of snakes
and Immediately proceeded to make his
hair stand on end.
"Venomous reptiles? You bet. / don't
know what reptiles is, but them snakes
you can just bet your life is venom
Gus. Why, one day l was comm down
here drivin' a wagon when 1 catches
sight of a snake in the brush all ready
for a spring. The horses starts, an l
whips 'em up fast to clear the snake,
don't you see, afore he could spring.
He makes one clear spring, the snake
does, an he misses the horses
THAT was lucky. But you-you-''
Lucky? You bet your life it was
lucky. He missed the horses. the snake
did. but he stuck his fangs clean
through the wagon.
You don't sayr'
II do say, and maybe you don't be-
lieve 1t, but it's a fact. He stuck his
fangs clean through that wagon, an
that wagon is swelled up SO bad that
we had to leave it by the wayside and
take the horses home.''

ond-The creation of an elected sem
ate with from 200 to 800 members. Third
The Second chamber is to have no
right to amend or reject any financial
bills. Fourth-When the two houses
differ, they will sit and vote together.
Fifth-As an alternative, the veto of
the Second chamber shall be overruled
if the House of Commons passes the
same bill in two successive sessions.
1t is possible that it will also be pro-
posed that if the senate rejects any bill
in one Parliament, it shall not be al
lowed to reject such bill if it is sent
UP again by the new Parliament after
the question has been submitted to the
electors. The danger is, that if the
Cabinet attempts to improvise a great
constitutional reform bill, it may pro-
duce some half-baked measure which
will be too much for the legislation of
the country. The Irish Nationalists,
Laborites and most of the Scotch and
North Country Radicals look askance
on these proposals. They want to
abolish the veto.

TWO Good Rules.

1t is a good thing to have some rules
of maxins for the government of ones
life. Here are two that are worth
adopting:
First-Never be discouraged. Pretty
hard rule, is it not? Never mind the
hardness of it. Resolve to obey it. Dis
couragements are of the devil. She who
trusts God and does right, has not
business to listen to the devil, no mat
ter what happens. God is supreme
and will win in the end; and His vic
tory will be the victory of all who
stand with Him.
Second-Never be a discouraged
What can be meaner than to tempt an
other to defeat and failure in the con-
test of life? That is too much like
the DEVILS work for any sensible, self
respecting person to engage in It,
Every temptation to wrong-doing has
some element of encouragement in it.
The old serpent discouraged Eve with
her limitation and knowledge. Stand
aloof from such satanic-like work

gia, under three coats of whitewash, the
second coat of which also bore traces OF
mural paintings. The parish priest ac-
cidentally discovered the frescoes while
removing a nail from a wall, which
caused piece of the plaster to be de-
tached.
The frescoes represent historical sub
jects. One is signed by De Panu1lo, and
is dated 1880. The other inscriptions
have not yet been deciphered. The
frescoes are eXcellently preserved, and
they are excellently executed
They mostly have been identified as
work of the fifteenth century. They are
likely to extend through the entire
church, part of which is now used as a
lumber store

Act of Faith.

Firmly L believe and truly
God is Three, and God is One;
And L next acknowledge duly
Manhood taken by the Son.
And l trust and hope most fully
In that Manhood crucified:
And each thought and deed unruly
Do to death, as He has died.
Simply to His grace and wholly
Light and life and strength belong.
And love, supremacy, solely
Him the holy, Him the strong.
And l hold in Veneration
For the love of Him Alone,
Holy Church, as His creation,
And her teachings, as His own.
And 1 take with joy whatever
Now besets me, pain or fear,
And with strong will 1 sever
All the ties which bind me here.
Alteration aye be given,
With and through the Angelic host
To the God of earth and heaven,
Father, Son and Holy Ghost.

The Young Man Who Knows How
to Work.

There is young man in Spain who
has what a great many people would
call first-class job. He is well paid,
and there is no call for him to soil his
hands with any manual employment
whatsoever. In fact, he could shirk
mental work, too, if he felt so disposed.
But this young man with so many
temptations to be a mere drone in the
social hive is far from being such. A
short time ago while he and his wife
were motoring some miles outside
Madrid, their car suddenly went wrong.
The chauffeur vainly endeavored to set
the machinery in motion, and it looked
very much as If they would have to
wait Until an expert arrived on the
scene, or another vehicle was brought
to the rescue. Not regarding the pros
pect as particularly favorable, the
young man jumped out of the car, and
in no time was on hands and knees ex-
aiming the state of affairs underneath.
Presently, covered with oil and CRIME
he emerged and laughingly observed, II
think it will go now" And "go" it did.
The young man who thus made the mo-
tor so is Alfonso, King of Spain; and
although he is king he is, it appears,
an expert mechanic. In case of being
deprived of his throne by some political
cataclysm, King Alfonso, we are told,
could make a living FOR himself and
his family as a mechanic. He may never
have to do this, but if he should he
is conscious of being able to earn his
livelihood by the skill of his hands. We
wish that more rich young men would
follow his example in learning to do
something practical and useful. And
there are quite number of young men
in America who are by no means rich,
but who have foolishly-fond fathers and
mothers, who might with profit to
themselves and the community take a
leaf from the book of that young man
in Spain.-Sacred Heart Review.

BISHOP M,EAuL,s am.

Trenton, N. J., Feb 26.-Notwith-
standing the opposition of residents of
Hopewell township and the refusal of
the township committee to give it's
consent, Bishop McFauI has not aban-
doned his plan of establishing within
the township sanitarium for the poor
of his diocese afflicted with tuberculo-
sis. The bishop does not believe that
the consent of the township was es-
sential to the carrying out of his plan
but has nevertheless adopted other
means to fortify his position.
Through his counsel Peter Backes.
the bishop has had prepared and pre-
sented to the house committee on re-
vision of laws q substitute for the bill
introduced by Assemblyman Crosby
designed to prevent the continuance of
a tuberculosis preventorium at Lake
wodo. The substitute, which, it is said,
will be reported by the committee in
place of the original Crosby bill, will
empower the state board of health aft
er giving a public hearing, to grant
permission for the establishment and
maintenance of place for the treat
ment of tubercular patients within any
municipality

Chaos In British Politics.

In a special cabled to the New York
American, William T. Stead, the we'll
known editor, says that British poll
tics promise to be more exciting than
they have been for years. Compared
with the last Parliament, the new
House of Commons is as the Maelstrom
to the Mississippi. The two great
parties-the Liberals and the Union
ists-are almost equally matched, but
the forty Laborites swell the Liberal
currents, giving it a decided superb
ority in force and volume.
All last week the air was full of
conflicting rumors. At one time disso-
luton seemed imminent: that scare
passed, but the outlook is very stormy
and both parties are at sea. The
Unionists are cropping blindly for a
democratic policy and nearly all are
committed to a reform Of the lords.
Some Of the leading Conservative or
gans declare that the hereditary ele-
rnent must be reduced to a vanishing
poant; others are clamoring for the in
troouction of equal ELECTORAL districts,
the use of state funds to create peas
ant proprietors, increased old age pen
sions and any other socialistic nostrum
they see lying around.
The Protectionists are at open war
among themselves. The agrarians de-
mand food taxes: the Industrials pro-
test it would be fatal to tax bread and
meat The Liberals are almost as
hopelessly divided on the question of
what should be done with the lords.
To reform it, says the radicals, is to
strengthen it and better end then mend
it. The ministers, on the other hand
are for ending the hereditary chamber
in order to put an elective senate in
its place.
Mr.. Seely, who is the only member
of the ministry who has expressed his
personal opinion, has declared in favor
OF a smaller second chamber. The
frankly democratic ministers keep their
counsel, but ii is believed they are
thinking of producing q radical bill,
based on the following: First-Aboli-
ton of the hereditary element. Sec

they are just sure that they cannot

they are just sure that they cannot
happen.
One is reminded of the story of the
English lawyer who thought that the
Roman authorities must be very cred
ulous if they accepted the miracles on
which the canonization of saints is
founded. He was given the documenta-
ry evidence for a set of miracles in the
case of st. Francis Hieronymo. After
reading them he confessed that if there
was anything that could be accepted on
human evidence, then none should be
ready to accept such facts as We're
there recorded. To his surprise, he was
told that these particular miracles had
been rejected and that new set had
been asked for before the cause of
canonizatiOn was proceeded with.

Bishop farrelIy at Chamber of Com
rnerce Dinner

Right Rev. John P. Farrell, D. D..
made his first appearance at a civic
gathering in Cleveland as one of the
principal speakers at the annual ban
quet of the chamber of commerce last
Saturday evening. The bishop in an
interesting address developed the ia
nous Burns couplet: 20, wad some
power the gift wad gle us, To see our
selves as others see u.s." From knowl-
edge cleaned by long residence abroad
and experience in many European
countries, he spoke of the impressions
current in Europe in regard to Amer
lea and the Americans, and touched
also on the American view of the Eu-
ropeans. He said both were colored by
lack of knowledge and understanding
and pointed out the mutual gain that
would follow closer study of other
races and more sympathy with their
spirit and ideals.

A Reformed Burglar.

Father Bernard Vaughan, s. J., of
London, has also been telling the story
of a convert who came to him at Christ
mas. The gentleman In question was a
burglar, who, being of direful dispo-
sition, thought he would establish an
abb before burgle by attending
Christmas service near to a valuable
bit of business. He did so, and heard
Father Vaughan preach. So touched
was he that, after the service was over,
he made his way to the presbytery and
laid at the feet of the eloquent Jesuit
his burglarious kit wieh the firm de-
cision that he would never use it again.

Admiral w. j. Thompson, retired. Ad-

where he served under Admiral Porter
until the end of the war. He partici-
