THEIR AWFUL SECRET.
II Caused the Real Estate Agent to
Chance His Mind,

Change His Mind.
When the family who admitted that
they were moving because the tenants
at the old address made their lives
miserable confided to the renting agent
that they had one popularity which
they wished him not to mention to
their neighbors in his building the
agent got uneasy and executed a men
tai quickstep trying to devise some
way to break the lease. But aloud he
said very courteously:
81 shall be glad to oblige you If l
can. What is it you wish me to keep
a secretT
"The fact that we pay our rent
promptly on the list of every month"
said the head of the family. THAT
was something that nobody else in the
other house did, and the agent as an
incentive to quick action on their part
published the news of our promptness.
The only action it stirred them into
was persecution of us, and they car
ried that to such extremes that we
had to move. If you will kindly re-
frain from using us as a club to whack
your delinquents into obedience we
will appreciate it,"
The agent resolved not to cancel the
lease, but at the same time he relin-
pushed a hastily conceived plan for
procuring prompt remittances. - New

TESTING AN EGG.
Many Ways to Detect StaIeness Be.

sides Smell and Taste.
1t does not require a very discrim-
mating palate to detect an old egg
from a new one, says correspondent
of the New York Sun. The former
has musty flavor that the latter
never has, and the mustiness may
range from a slight faint to a very
pronounced one. 1t is always notice
able in storage eggs.
If any one wishes to verify the judg-
ment of his palate, the following tests
may be used:
lit is almost impossible to peel the
shell from a fresh hard boiled egg
without having some of the white
come away with it.
"A stale egg cannot be beaten to
a froth.
3.-When fresh egg is broken into
a dish the yolk stands up and the
white does not spread. whereas in
stale egg the yolk lies fiat and the
white seems watery.
1.-The shell Of an egg after GER
tain length Of time loses its chalky
appearance and becomes shiny.
5.-The air space in the large end
Of newly laid egg is about half an
inch in diameter, and as the egg ages
this space grows larger. In storage
eggs it sometimes extends to one
fourth the length. An expert can very
closely approximate the age Of an egg
by examining this space. This is
known as Gambling and is done by
holding the egg in n beam of light.
A simpler test is to hard boil the egg
and notice the relative size of the

Spanish Catholics Protest.

Upon the return of King Alfonso
from Africa, the citizens of America
presented an address which excelled
in frankness most of such productions.

er things, ''feel wounded in our dear
est convictions and sentiments at see
ing you accompanied by a prime min
lister who had, and has, to judge by his
words and actions, 'padlocks' with
which to fasten the Catholic Church,
who by her nature is most free. AS
much as it pains us to speak these
truths, even so much would it delight
us to see your majesty assisted in the

WHAT is succEss2

There are many general terms in
common use which are but vaguely
defined. Take, for example, such
words as house, bush, man, boy. Ii
a hundred people were asked to de-
fine one Of them we would get a hum
dred different definitions. So too it
is with the word success. What does
success mean? If all who read this
would answer there would be a var
icty of answers. 1t means one thing
for one person ana another, for an
other. For some it consists in amass-
ing a fortune; for others, in winning
distinction in a chosen line OF work;
for others, in winning fame for 9th
ers, in winning the admiration OF
their fellows; and so on. But is there
nothing absolute about it? Let us
analyze it and see
we may generalZe the above con-
siderations by saying that success, so
far as each individual Is concerned,
consists in the attainment OF the ideal
which the individual chooses for him.
self. Now then, it follows that the
individuals success depends on the
nature of the ideal chosen and the
degree in which it has been attained.
And thus the question resolves itself
into, What should be Il mans ideal?
or, as all will agree, that each mans
ideal should be the highest ideal, we
may ask. What is the highest ideal?
Now the question is resolved into one
which the little child making the ac-
quaintance of the catechism, can an
sWer. Obviously it is to live so as
to obtain ones own salvation and hell
as many others as possible to live
better and nobler lives.
The young man then who is setting
out to win his laurels in the struggle
OF life should not aim merely to
amaSs a fortune, or to make for him
self q great name. He should stop
and ask himself, How can l best at
tain and help humanity to attain the
things that are worth while? The
pusuit he will follow will depend on
his talents and inclinations. But
whatever he follows his aim in the
last analysis should be to help others
to set for themselves high ideals and
to shape his own life so that it will
blend into a glorious eternity.

Party commands the situation. Their

But in the change and stress OF
their exile, they never forget the old

loyal. A call for aid never fails to
awaken a response. Last fall we had

Albert Won Ruville entitled Back to
Holy Church" Prof. Won Ruvile is a
German authority on history, whose
ancestors fell away from the Church
at the time of the Reformation. Father
Jordan pointed out in an interesting
way the doctrines of the Catholic

recommended the reading of the book
to his hearers as a means of gaining
practical knowledge of the objections
that are urged against the Church.

manhood, a gentleman in every sense

l;ured Louth by 80 votes. Enraged

that another election has been de-
clared for North Louth. Augustine

CONTEST LIvENlNG UP A BIT

NON GSi IIVENtNG UP A BIT.
Last week was an exciting week IN
the House of Commons. The Tories,
realizing the hopelessness OF their
cause, are resorting to every possible
ruse to hamper the progress of the
governments plans. Every item in
the veto bill was taken up and dis
cussed at length for the purpose OF
eXasperating the Liberal members.
The tilibustering led to the passing
between the members of the oppos-
ing parties sharp, personal retorts.
The contest became so heated that
one session lasted from three o'clock
on one afternoon to nearly noon the
next day. Notwithstanding all this,
the Veto bill passed it's second read
ing with the full government plurality.
The Tories, as might be expected,
are making the best of their last
stand. They are helpless to initiate
any legislation and the only alterna.
tive open to them is to hinder as far
as they can the progress OF the work
undertaken by their opponents in
power There is nothing alarming
about this phase of the situation. 1t
is natural consequence OF the hope
less failure of the Tories at the last
election and means nothing more than
that the fight will extend over a
longer period of time than the House
normally would require to dispose OF
the same amount of business.
At any rate the plan of action is
definitely outlined. There is not like
ly to be any further talk OF compro-
mise or of reforming the House OF
Lords on terms proposed by the
Peers themselves. Neither is there
any reason to think that any OF the
proposed substitutes for Home Rule
will be considered. The most the
Tories can do is to retard legislation
They are powerless to check it. Mean.
time the enemies of Ireland are be-
coming reconciled to the inevitable.
When Home Rule comes it will be ac-
cepted in matter-of-fact way as was
the change in the Kings Accession
Oath.
