Brownson was surcharged with de-
votion to the Church. His keen INTEL
lect, wide range of knowledge and fin

inent figure in the literary world. His
writings in defense of the Church are
clear and convincing expositions of
Catholic dogmas.
The life of this distinguished Cath

Brownson was man of thought and
action. He did not believe in bewail-

II really believe that the day is not

tiers of such a school would be Dublin,

In addition to this as Father Nc
Donnell points out, many moral ad-
vantages would be gained. Parents
and families would be drawn from the
congested and unhealthy districts of
the city to the pure air of country
places. Children would be kept out
of bad company and taught to be in
dustrious. Pauperism would be dis
couraged and healthier and happier
conditions generally would result.

iRELAN DIS POPULATION.

or poor, proud or humble.
IRELAND'S POPULATION.
AS unpleasant as the information is,
A comparison of the statistics of the
past few years shows that the popu-
lation of Ireland is on the decrease.
In England the rural population is de-
ereasing as rapidly as that of Ireland,
but in the former country the people,
Instead of emigrating, are moving to
the large industrial centers. In Ire
land, where there are so few manu-
factories, the people who are discon-
tented with the land can find little to
do in the cities, and the result is a
continued drain on the population of
the country, due to emigration.
Ireland is a fertile country and I'M
der ordinary conditions it should pro-
duce enough and more than enough to
support a much larger population than
1t has at the present time. But dur
ing the past hundred years what in
cen+ive has there been for people u.
ill the soil? To work the land SIM
ply meant to become the slave of land
lords without receiving decent liv-
ing in return. No wonder the fertile
fields were laid waste to such an ex-
tent that it became necessary to i'm
fnn1 ,,,f} Ma
wonder that Ireland became a land of
poverty. What country in the world
would not become poor if the people
were denied the right to share in the
wealth they produced?
Landlordism is on the wane and
the last trace of it cannot vanish too
soon. 1t possessed not a single ele-
ment of good, not a plausible excuse
for it's existence. 1t has had only one
effect and that was to make Ireland
roor. With prospects for the future
more favorable than they have been
for many years, it becomes necessary
to reorganize the industries of the
country and foremost among them is
agriculture. AS the wealth of coun-
try depends on the resources of the
soil, so do manufacturing industries
depend upon agriculture.
In Ireland there is greater need of
thorough cultivation and conservation
than in America. where the population
lis comparatively sparse. Here we
have not as yet felt the need of maxi
ing every acre produce it's maximum
No doubt that time will come later,
and when it does come conditions will
adjust themselves to meet the growing
wants. But in Ireland that condition
exists now. With such large popu-
lation dependent on the products of
SO small territory none of the land
can be allowed to lie waste nor to be-
come non-productive from want Of fer
tilizing. The fact that Ireland once
supported a population twice as great
as it has now shows what can be done
by giving proper attention to the till
age of the soil.
An interesting experiment which is
being tried with this object in view
is that of forming workingmens gar
dens. Rev. ]. Mcdonnell, S. j., who
has been investigating the results of
this plan in America. France and
England, heartily endorses the adop-
ton of it in Ireland. The idea is to
enable workingmen to have little
plot Of ground of their own which they
can cultivate. They will thereby not
only find employment but they will
have lasting means of gaining I,
livelihood.
BY this plan working people would
come into possession of a share of the
land and q natural consequence would

Thackeray's literary work did not

To impress on young children just

carry a chair for her from the dining
room to the parlor. He started Off
willingly, but in the hall he tripped
and fell. Amid the crash could be
heard the boy giving vent to ut~teranees
that would have done credit to a pirate
OF ancient days. The mother was
taken by surprise and was greatly
shocked. She gave the boy a long and
serious talk on the subject Of pro-
family. This apparently did not make
the right impression, for when she coz

PARSLEY SUGGESTIONS,
Sinister Beliefs Associated With the
Plant In England.

'~'N So ~fsSfSaF@s
Many superstitions are connected
with the herb parsley, probably
through an ancient Greek practice, the
graves Of the dead being strewn with
1t and the plant thereby gaining a
sinister significance.
In Hampshire it Is considered very
unlucky to give a root of this herb
away, since they say that If this be
done i'll luck will fall upon them. In
Devonshire to transplant parsley is
likewise to commit a serious offense
against the guardian genius who pre-
sides over the plants. In Suffolk 1t is
said that If parsley be sown on Good
Friday it will grow well and flourish,
buff it be sown on any other day it
will not come double.
In Shropshire they have a saying
that where parsley grows in the gar
den 9Th missis is master" In Buck
inghamshire parsley is regarded as a
somewhat uncanny herb, and an 1
gardener M assured me or hearing
me lament that the seed l had sown
had not come up that it was necessary
to SOW parsley for nine times before
one could get any to grow. This say
ing L have heard later in Shropshire,
where they say the devil takes all
but the last. Likewise, too, in Shrop-
shire they say that to transplant pars-
ley will bring about a death.-West-

A LONG WASH DAY.
1t Lasted a Week, but Came Only Four
Times a Year.

Times a Year.
Every n has heard of the German
and Dutch method of accommodating
soiled clothes and of having a wash
day only two or three times a year.
Not every one realizes, perhaps that
tie custom was brought over to this
country from Holland and that the
Dutch settlers long continued its prac-
lice. In these da, S of the ~ever'ready
laundry it is strange to read of the
latorious period which came to our
New Amsterdam ancestors four times
a year. Helen Eyertson Smith tells
about 1t in Colonial Days and Ways"
The custom of quarterly clothes
washings was maintained notwtth-
standing our summer heats and the
immense quantities of clothes neces-
safy to keep up the state of cleanli-
ness required by Dutch instincts. A
New E~nglander who had married a
citizen of New York writes In 1760
of this practice, which was undoubted-
ly strange to her;
Grandmother Blum is so deep in
her quarterly wash this week that she
has time only to send her love"
The washing was done In an out
house called the bleeckeryen, where
the water was boiled In immense ket-
ties and all the other processes of the
laundry work carried on. The work
required not less than a week, fire.
quently two weeks.
During the time preceding this cruel
ly hard labor the soiled clothes were
accommodating in very large hampers of
open basketwork. This custom origi-
mated the necessity for the great stores
Of linen with which every bride was
provided.
