IRELAND'S CRIMINAL RECORD.

If, after having read the many as
the prevalence of crime in Ireland one
takes the trouble to turn to statistics
on the subject he is likely to be at
IL loss to know how the SANDER ever
started. The Catholic Encyclopedia
shows that Immortality is not preva-
lent in the country. While the figures
mate births is higher in Ulster, where
Professionalism is strongest, neverthe-
less the average percentage for the
entire country is remarkably low, be-
ing close TO that of Belgium, the most
Catholic. country in the world. The
latest criminal statistics published by
crime is much more prevalent in Eng
land, Scotland and Wales than it is in
Ireland. Or, as John Redmond put it,,
Ireland compared with these countries
is practically crimeless. The fact is
at the present time Ireland is not a
criminal country. How, then, did it
country?
The reason seems to be this: There
was a time when Ireland contained a
large number Of prisons. Of that large
number ane hundred and fourteen
have been closed in recent years. Now
only twenty-three remain in the whole
this prison record our conclusion
would necessarily be that in recent
years the Irish people have become
remarkably peaceful and law-abiding.
But of course the fact is the decrease
of prisons has been due, not to any
marked change in the character of the
people, but to the fact that the. oppres-
sive laws by which Irishmen We're
mercilessly incarcerated for abiding by
the solemn dictates OF their conscien-
ces have been repealed. No wonder
there was need for prisons in Ireland
when there was bounty on the head
of a priest; when to celebrate Mass
or to be caught in the act OF assisting
at the Holy Sacrifice was criminal
offense; when, in the words of an act
Of Parliament, prosecuting and In
forming against Papists was an honor
abel service to the Government" !;
when Professionals were the only law
full holders OF property and could have
Catholics deprived of their holdings
by informing against them. 1t is little
wonder that the Penal Code caused a
luxuriant growtlD of prisons in a coun-
try so thoroughly Catholic as Ireland
was and still is; the prisons that were
built during those years are an honor
rather than disgrace to the land
And now that the merciless tyranny
has been tempered with a fair share
of justice. the Irish enjoy the rights
the practice of which made them GRIM
inals then. The habit Of calling the
Irish criminals because they would not
meekly submit to the rigors OF the
Penal Code has lived on. In spite of
their crimeless record today their en-
emies bark back to the times when
Irish criminals were created by the
acts Of an English Parliament

Almonds Raised In America.
Almonds are among the nuts which
are now being raised extensively IN
this country and their quality and size
has become so improved that many do
nestle almonds are better than the i'm
ported ones. So far, almond culture for
commercial purposes has been confined
chiefly to California and other south
western states. 1t has been said that
the almond resembles the peach tree
and will grow wherever the peach does
but this statement has not been borne
out by experiments. The almond re-
Quires a longer season ana the late
frost IN most of the states hinders the
development Of the blossoms into the
nut The department Of agriculture IS
now engaged upon some experiments
calculated to render the almond more
hardy, since in many respects 1t IS the
most desirable food nut upon the mar
ket.
While the old fashioned familiar nuts,
including black Walnuts, butterUuEs
and hickory nuts are still In demand
by the trade, there is much less interest
in growing them on the part Of the
farmers than for the other varieties. No
reason for this can be given other than
the fact that It Is habitual to prefer
the novelty 20 the staple product Much
experimental work is now being done
in the way of improving these trees
and there Is a growing tendency TO n
crease their production. Thousands
Of these trees, specially grated for nut
production have been set out under the
direction Of the department OF agricul-
ture during the past year
