IRELAND SINIPROVED CONDI-
TION

Perhaps the most notable improve
| ment seen by the writer was in the
| dwelling of the farm laborers, says
Denis A. Mccarthy in the Boston
Transcript. In bygone days this class
| of the population was housed in mis-
cradle mud cabins the like of which
We're to be found as human habita-
tiOns nowhere else in the civilized
world. Today the farm labOrer is
housed in a we'll built, comfortable
cottage, and he is lord of an acre of
land on which to raise the vegetables
needful for his own table, with some
left over, if he is a good farmer, for
the market For this cottage and
land he pays the Urban or the Dis
trict council weekly rent which
seems ridiculously small in American
eyes. The sight Of these CHEEKY look
ing cottages throughout the country
was most pleasing feasure of the
landscape.
And if the condition of the farm
laborer has improved that of the
farmer himself has been bettered also.
In fact the Irish farmer as 1 saw him
was the most contented and indepen-
dent man. The only grievance
he seems to have was the present
dearth of labor There is no doubt
whatever q am stating what I heard
from men on the spoD but that the
Land Purchase Act has been a great
boon to the Irish farmer. Incident

manlike piece of legislation so far as
Ireland's Irelation to England is con-

keen or so pressing as in the past. The

IRELAND AND SCOTLAND.

The founding of q Scottish Home
| Rule party recalls the events of over
two hundreds years ago, when in the
'eign of Queen Anne the Parliament
| of Scotland was abolished. The
Union act passed the English house
! in March, 1901. and was opposed in
| Scotland by an extraordinary ANAL
gamation of hitherto opposing par
ties. Defoe. author of Robinson
Crusoe," who was present in Edin-
| burgh, and witnessed many of the
scenes of mod violence and demon
STATIONS against the Union, wrote:
1T was the most mOnstrous sight in
the world to see the Jacobite and the
Presbyterian, the prosecuting prelate
non-jurors and the Cameronian, the
Papist and the reformed Protestant
parley, join interests and concert
measures together"
Amongst Scottish peers promoting
the Union we're the Dukes of Queens
berry and Argyll The Duke of Ham
ilton, a Jacobite, vigorously led the
opposition till his action was checked
by a message from James, the Elder
Pretender, who, anxious to conciliate
his half-sister, ueen Anne. signified
that he had no objection to the in
tended union, and the Argyle of that
time was regarded must as Castle
reagh in Ireland century later. A
good story of Argyle is told in the
chronicles OF the Irish Harpers. He
was fond of music. and went to visit
an Irish inn-keeper in London called
Huffernan. who was an adept perfor
mer on the national instrument. and
who played for him an exquisite
Scotch air Of very pathetic tone.
THAT is surely an Irish, and not
a Scotch air. said Argyle. 1T is |
too sad
But you must understand. my
lord said the harper, lit was COM
posed since the union"

rishman, Argyle Immediately left the |

really have so much to do to help
| ourselves that we simply haven't any
hands left for the community. But
there is such a thing as the helping
word. We are apt to forget that if
for one reason we can't join the help
ing hand society, we can al belong to
the legion of the helping tongue.
Those who are hindered from active
doing may help much to make the
world swing sunward" by practicing
the code of the helpful word. It's sim
pie enough. Keep Your conversation
sweet. Say the encouraging word
whenever you can. Say the word
whenever you can. Say the word of
sympathy whether the sorrow is large
The little girls lack of promotion in
school seems as immense to her as
does death or disgrace to her grand
mother. Say words of praise TO the
one who has overcome a difficulty or
receive an honor or a prom otion. Say
the word of appreciation to those Who
are trying to do things for you, even
when their best seems very poor to
you. Perhaps your neighbor is per-
picked and you know just the way
out. You can't belong to he legion
of the helping tongue if you say, It's
none of my business; let her learn the
same way l did No. indeed, give
mer at once the tactful suggestion that
will show her the way out And the
gentle, tactful caution to the girl who
is starting in the wrong path some
times is worth more than a Dozen

German and French Statistics.

Official statistics show that the pap
ulation of Germany now numbers 64,-
$50, 1000, and at the present rate of in
crease it will be fully 65,000,000 when
the next census is taken, on December
l of this year The increase for some
time past has been approximately one
million per annum. Forty years ago
France and Germany had almost equal
populations. 100000 in each case.
Now Germany possesses 100000
and France only 100000, and the
effect of this disproportion on the po-
litical and military situation in Eu-
rope is evident. The remarkable
growth of German population is con-
tinuing in spite Of the reduction Of
the birth rate. from AZ per thousand
in 1876 to 33 per thousand in 1903
and the contributory causes are the
reduction of the death rate, from 81
per thousand in 1909, and the diminu
ton of emigration. Thirty years ago
100000 Germans eft their country
and now this figure has been re-
duced approximately to 20,000-a re-
markable proof of the prosperity of
the nation

WHAT CATHOLICS DO NOT BE-
IIEVE.

1t seems to be more necessary fol
the non-Catholic public to know what
Catholics do not believe, than to know
what they do believe. AT any rate
nonCatholics are not in a position to
learn what the Catholic Church really
is until they have unlearned much
that she is not.
Here are a dozen matters which
Catholics do not believe:
1. Image worship.
?. That an indulgence is a permits
sion to commit sim
8. That the Church has a right to
prosecute.
4. That a mere confession of sins
to the priest and dissolution is suffi-
cient to merit forgiveness.
8, That the Pope cannot commit
sin. or in matters of science.
6. That Catholics cannot search
the Scriptures"
I. That republicans forms of gov
eminent are not favored by the
Church
s. That the Catholic Church is OPP
posed to religious liberation.
9. That the end justifies the
means.
10. That lying is ever permissible.
II. That the world many not be
older than six thousand years.
IL. That innocent recreation on
Sunday is orbidden.-Catholic Citi-
zen.

Nationalist, united in scarcely any
thing except in the desire to disrupt
the national party. William O'Brien
and the brothers Healy, Timothy and
Maurice. constitute three of the ten.
An analysis of the votes cast in the
| recent general election, however, will
| demonstrate how ineffective their an
| tagonism to the party is. OF the 70
! seats held by Irish members of the
Irish parliamentary party at the pres
ent time, 80 were uncontested at the
general election. last January. That
meant that no opponent of any party
dared to face the Nationalist candidate
at the polls.
The electorate in those 80 uncontest-
ed seats numbered 345, 1929, while in
the ten seats in which the opponents of
the national party managed to scrape
through the total electorate numbered
1S,404. This includes Unionists,
O'Brienites, HeaIyites and all other
sections, as we'll as the Nationalist.
OF this number only 60,437 voted in
the ten contests, on 70 per cent of the
registered voters. Still further, as
showing the close margin by which the
ten malcontents managed TO secure
election, their combined vote in the
ten constituencies numbered 1901, to
-
dates in the same constituencies. The
pledge-bound Irish party fought in all
twenty-seven contests against Tories
and Unionists and won in fifteen. The
total vote cast by the Irish party can
didateS in the twenty-seven contested
elections was 7O.764. as against 40,S46
for the opponents of the party candi-
dates. That means that in seventy
