tribute to CATHOLIC Missions.

The Churchman protestant Episco-
paD prints in a recent issue the fol-
lowing article on Catholic missions in
India:
THE activity and success of the
Catholic missions in India are often
passed over by Anglican and Evengeli-
can authorities. 1t is pleasant, there
fore, to find the archdeacon of Madras
(Angelican) doing full justice to the
work accomplished by the Catholic
church communion. Out of a popu-
lation of 294,OOOO0O, which includes
the inhabitants of India proper with
Baluchistan and Burma, less than one
hundredth part, to be exact, 2,90O,O 900,
are Christians. OF these 1,525, 900 are
Catholics, 100000 Angelicans, while
about 65S,000 are members of various
evangelical bodies.
AT the beginning of the nineteenth
century the Indian Catholic missions
which had been founded by St Fran
els Xavier, were in feeble condition.
The great work of expansion has chief
ly taken place since $780, A large
number of new sees have been estab-
lished; thirty-nine districts in all are
now organized, each administration by
a resident bishop. The Jesuits and the
Christian Brothers have admirable edu-
cational institutions. The archdeacons
of Madras think they are rapidly be-
coming the leading educational bodies
in India because of the zeal, tenacity
and large forethought with which they
prosecute their high and simple-hearted
purpose. Their schools, like the Others
receive government grants, and besides
are most economically administered.
They keep fully abreast of the ever
enlarging government requirements and
frequently charge smaller fees than

Pathetic Scene.

pathetic scene in the House OF
Commons is described in a London
cablegram carried by the Associated
Press in this way: For the first time
since he was stricken with paralysis
years ago, Joseph Chamberlain APP
peared in the House of Commons today
and took the oath as a member of the
new parliament. The advent of the
tariff reformer afforded a dramatic sur
prise for the officials and members
who were being sworn in. Mr.. Cham
berlain moved to the speakers chair
and shook hands with Mr.. Lowther.
after which he made his way slowly
from the chamber within which SO
many stirring episodes of his life have
occurred. The whole scene was pain
full to those who recalled the vigor ex-
hibited by the statesman on his last
previous appearance in the house. To-
day his frame was shrunken and his
features ashen. lie was unable to move
without assistance and but haltingly
whispered the words of the oath after
his son had spoken them in his ear. 1t
was evident to those who witnessed the
every evidence of extreme weakness.
that all hope of a recovery from
physical infirmities must be abandoned.

Mr.. J. J. O'Shee, the Nationalist can

by an overwhelming majority, thus
proving that the poison of faction has
been stamped out of the constituency.

Nationalist and the Crisis.

OF the Nationalist members who ran
successfully in eleven constituencies
against the official candidates, only one,
Mr.. O'Sullivan, of Kerry, was sum-
moned to the party meeting for the cleo
ton of a seasonal chairman. Mr. Hea-
ly sent a letter of protest to Mr. Red
mond on the grounds that the chairman
had no right to exclude from the meet
ing any Nationalist member who came
prepared to sign the pledge to sit, act
and vote with the party. That pledge
had been drawn by Mr.. Healy and
every member who accepted it was a
juror on the acts of his colleagues. No
chairman had a right to select the jury
arbitrarily. However, the Party of 70
made the conditions more stringent, en-
towering a majority of a called meet
ing to interpret the application of rules.
Efforts have been made to settle the
differences that hinder united action
at such an important crisis, and the
arbitration of Cardinal Logue and Arch
bishop Walsh has been suggested, but
Mr.. O'Brien insists as a preliminary
condition that what he calls the domi-
nation of the Hibernian organization
shall be eliminated. The insistence of
Mr.. Redmond that the Liberal cabinet
shall first destroy the lords veto or

of his acceptance of the budget, may
lead to an early dissolution, but his
attitude is generally approved in Ire
land, which being admittedly overtaXed,
is opposed to any increase though it is
in accord with the general principle OF
proportioning taxation to wealth. Partly
owing to the growth of the temperance
movement and partly to the incidence of
the liquor tax, not only consumption
of liquor has greatly decreased, but
likewise the industry, spirit exports
having fallen at the rate of $4,000 900

On Mixed MARRIAGES.

A local pastor recently published some
startling figures of the most obvious
results of mixed marriages. The pro-
portion of Catholic women married to
on-Catholic men who keep up the
practice of their religion was incredibly
small, and the proportion of practical
Catholics among Catholic men married
to non-Catholic women was even less.
These depressing statistics were for only
one parish, and when it is estimated
what the showing would be if a census
of the results of mixed marriages were
taken UP in every parish in the country,
it would perhaps be easier to under
stand why, with an annual record of
10000 converts, with the natural in
crease and the yearly accretion Of
hundreds of thousands of immigrants,
the total gain in the Catholic popu-
lation in this country for the year
1909 is officially given as only Iii, 576.

The Land of the West.
lBv Samuel Lover.l

(By Samuel Lover.)
oh, come to the West, love-oh! come
there with me,
IT'S a sweet land of verdure that
springs from the sea;
Where fair plenty smiles from her en-.
oh, come to the West, and I'll make
thee my own!
I'll guard thee, I'll tend thee, I'll love
thee the best.
And you'll say there's no land like the
land of the West,
The south has it's roses, and bright
skies of blue,
But ours are more sweet with loves
own changeful hue
Half sunshine, half tears, like the girl
Oh. what is the south to the beautiful
West?
Then come there with me, and the rose
on thy mouth
Will be sweeter to me than the flow'rs
Of the south.
The north has its snow-tow'rs of daz-
zling array,
All sparkling with gems in the ne'er-
setting day.
There the storm king may dwell in the
halls he loves best,
But the soft-breathing zephyr he plays
in the West
Then come to the West, where no cold
wind doth blow,
And thy neck will seem fairer to me
than the snow!
The sun in the gorgeous east chaseth
the light,
When he riseth refreshed in his glory
and might.
But where doth he go when he seeks
his sweet rest?
Oh! doth he not haste to the beautiful
West?
Then come there with me, it's the land
l love best,
'Tis the land of my sires! it's my own
darling West.

Shine Just Where You Are.

Don't waste your time in longing
For bright impossible things;
Don't sit supinely yearning
For the swiftness of angel wings;
Don't spurn to be a rushlight,
Because you are not a star;
But brighten some bit of darkness
By shining just where you are.
There is need of the tiniest candle
AS well as the garrish sun:
The humblest deed is ennobled
When it is worthily done;
You may never be called to brighten
The darkened regions afar;
So fill, for the day, your mission
Ey shining just where you are.
Just where you are, my brother,
Just where God bids you stand,
Though now in the deepest shadow,
Instead of the sunlit land;
You may carry as brightness with yol
That no gloom or darkness can mar
For the light of a Christlike spirit
VIII be shining, wherever you are.

A Boer had sold to a mission Kaffir
the carcass of an OK that had died
from lung sickness. The missionary
demonstrated with him, and threat
ened to report him to the authorities.
The Boer expressed his surprise at
such language from a missionary,
saying he had acted strictly according
to scriptural precept. The missionary
said he would not say another word
If the Boer could justify his act from
the Bible The Boer thereupon asked
for Bible and, referring to Deut 14:21,
read as follows:
Ye shall not eat of anything that
dfeth of itself; thou shalt give it to
the stranger that is within thy gates,
that he may eat it; or thou mayest
sell it unto an alien"

One Irish Town.

In the c. T. A Advocate we find the
following interesting item: "Bess-
brook, town in the north of Ireland,
the oldest place in Ireland connected
with the flax spinning and weaving
trade, having about 1000 persons en-
ployed, has no public house (saloon)
no police force, no poorhouse, no pau
pers and no pawnshops.
THE people live happy and con-
tented. Churches and schools flourish.
Intelligence and morality prevail to
an unusual degree. Protestants and
Catholics live in peace and harmony.
There is never any of the ill-feeling
that sometimes crop out in places
where drink and the public house are
present to arouse mems pTejudices and
passions.
THE people of Bessbrook have con-
demned the sale of strong drink by a
vote of six to one"

Things Worth Remembering.

Plain colors and light tints in decora-
lions make room look larger.
Everything used in serving mutton
should be hot.
1t is not good taste to have scented
note paper.
Success in cake baking depends more
upon the baking than upon the making
A simple way of hanging curtains
and draperies is the best taste.
Learn to save gas by never lighting
the range until everything is ready to
cook.
The afternoon nap is a wonderful in
vigorator and promoter of longevity.

The Busy Woman.

If you want to get a favor done
By some obliging friend,
And want a promise, safe and sure
On which you may depend,
Don't go to her who always has
Much leisure time to plan,
But if you want your favor done,
Ask the busy woman.
The girl with leisure never has
A moment she can spare,
She's always putting off, until
Her friends are in despair
But she whose every waking hour
Is crowded full of work,
Forgets the art of wasting time,
She cannot stop to shirk.
So when you want favor done,
And want it right away,
Go to the girl who constantly
Works fourteen hours day,
She'll find a moment, sure, somewhere,
That has no other use,
And help you, while the idle one
Is framing an excuse.

GIadstone's Memory.

Gladstone's power of memory was al
ways one of his greatest assets. In his
last years he often lamented that it
was not what it had been: but even so.
1t came triumphantly out of some re-
markable tests. In his eighty-third
year he set himself to recall Manzoni's
ode on the death of Napoleon, which,
as young man, he had translated
into English. He had entirely forgot
ten his own version, but by dint of
hard digging" or fishing up" as he
called it, he wrote down 1O4 of the
los italian lines. Two years later he
essayed to write from memory a COM
plete list of all the men who had been
his cabinet colleagues, and remembered

you never know when to believe him
