Catholics Number 100000.

Wiltzius Directory gives the number of
Roman Catholics in the United States at
I46IS,76I These figures do not include
Catholics in the Philippines, Porto Rico,
or Hawaiian Islands. If these were
added the number Of Roman Catholics

mate rs, 100000
Although tine United States religious
census of 1906 credits the Roman Catholic
faith with only 1909, I42, the Wiltzius
figure is not exaggerated, as the Census
Bureau deducted IS per cent. of its total
count for children, counting only COM
municants.
According to the directory, there are
in the United States 1904 Catholic
priests and I3,46I churches. OF this
number eoI7 have resident pastors.

Horse Breeding Rules.

An English horse breeder once laid
down the following rules which are worth
remembering: Never use unhealthy or
unsound animals, nor those that are ill
tempered. Parents that are greatly dis
similar in their breed and shapes should
not be mated to breed. Neither should
great big stations be bred to small mares,
nor should a half-bred stallion Of any
breed be used. Avoid breeding in-and-in,
and do not breed from coarse, loose made
mares Do not breed from mares which,
having bred, produced bad colts. Deter
mine exactly the character of the horse It
is intended to produce and never lose
sight of it. To breed halfbred horses,
select a pure thoroughbred horse and a
half-bred mare; the better she is the more
valuable she will be.

Test of Devotion.

Hogan was playing nurse TO the twins
on the front porch. The twins were an
noyed because each wanted exclusive
possession of solitary kitten, and they
were yelling.
A neighbor passed at the gate "Well,

take for them children of yours2"
Hogan shifted in his chair 'All the

Farmers and the Tariff.

1t must be set down TO the credit Of the
farmers who oppose reciprocity that more
of them insist on the maintenance of
present iniqutous tariff rates. They in
sist, however, if there is to be any cutting
of rates it should begin in the schedules
where rates are most oppressive. Their
position is entirely natural Down with
the rates; but down the other fellow first.
The error Of the farmers is in supposr
ing that they are, or can be, ''protected;
and in believing that any increase OF trade
across the Canadian frontier that helps
other industries that underlies all others.
Lower tariffs, more trade, more proht.

Youth is sweet with its fiery enterprise
and suppose mature manhood will be
just as much So though in calmer way,
and age, quieter still, win have its own
merits-the thing is only to do with
life what we ought, and what is suited
to each OF its stages: do all enjoy them
and suppose these two rules amount
10 the same thing.
To die is serious thing; to live is far
more serious. Living we accumulate
the evidence that shall be used against
us when we pass, through death to the
judgment. Learn to think seriously of
life that you may think seriously Of
death.

Church Organizations Too NJ
merOuS.

The Boonsboro Times contains the
following article, written by the editor,
Rev CT. a. Roudabush:
''Our observation convinces us that
there is nothing which so much binders
the progress of the church as these nu-
merous organizations within the church.
The church of the present day is para
lyzed with organizations. The people
become worn out and lose interest in
the church on account Of the crowded
condition of its services. We believe
that it is possible for men to become
spiritual and mental dyspeptics as we'll
as physical and it is necessary for men
TO have time to digest what they hear
as we'll as what they eat. The man who
is struggling for an existence in the
business world if he would attempt to
attend to all of the duties and services
of the church would find no time or very
little to spend in the secluson of the
home with his wife and children, which
after all, is the bulwark of religion and
the hope OF the future prosperity OF the
church. In the present day it takes the
minister almost as long to announce the
different services Of his church as to
deliver his sermon. These numerous
organizations which are nothing more
than wheels in wheel, and we some
times think amount to about as much
as a fifth wheel to a wagon, result in
a scattering of the energies of the
church. The great need of the church
today is not only conservation, but con-
centration. One great secret of Stone
wall ackson's success as a general in
the war between the States was that he
concentrated and struck hard We be-
lieve that it would be we'll for the church
to adopt these tactics. Scattered ener-
giles will weaken any man, any organiza-
ton and any church,

They met one afternoon on a muddy,

Stuffed Halibut.

Buy thick piece of halibut, weighing
five or six pounds. and let it lie in sailed
water for two hours. Pass a sharp knife
down TO the bone in several places, and
thrust into the cuts a (6orcemeat) OF
crumbs, pork, chopped fine, pepper and
salt Lay in dripping pan and cook in
a good hot oven, basting for the first half
hour with butter and water, afterward
with its own gravy. Five pounds should
be baked in an hour. Take up the fish
and keep in hot place. Add to the
strained gravy from the dripping pan, the
Juice of lemon, teaspoon of anchovy
paste. tablespoon of butter rubbed into
two of Drowned flour (more boiling water
if needed), boil up once and pour over
the fish and the rest in gravy dish. This
is delicious.

ONE KIND OF MAN.

Courtesy to the women old and young,
should be part of every body's home
training. Without it he is likely to be
boorish and selfish, and a rude and over
bearing brother and son is in danger
of developing into a very exacting,
discourteous husband. He is likely to
belong to that class of boys who come
into the house and say to their sisters:
Here, Mary, you've got the chair
that | always like to sit in, and Katie
has the paper that want Let me have
theml"
There's button off my overcoat
and want one of you girls to put it on
before morning. Mary, run and get my
slippers"
His hat, gloves and overcoat have
been thrown down in different parts of
the room, for his mother or sisters to
pick up and put away. His mother
comes into the room and he SAYS:
Mother, isn't supper most ready? |
am half starved"
1T will be ready in few minutes, ="
his mother replies.
AT the table he is always served first
and has the best of everything, a course
that it is well calculated to foster his
selfishness and autocratic tendencies
In his own home he. is a sort of des-
pot. He feels that his personal comfort
should be the chief end and aim of his
wife's life. A delayed dinner is an I'M
forgiveabe offense, and missing button
brings on an attack of that disagreeable
mental disorder called sulks.
He is likely to be one of the men
who keep their seats white ladies stand
in the horse cars arguing while he
does so that women have just as much
right to stand as men.
Obstrusive discourtesy of this kind
nearly all has its origin in the early home
life of the man who manifests it.

APIIORISAIS.

Politeness is as natural to delicate ma
lures as perfume is to the flowers.
Shun idleness. it is the rust that at
taches itself to the most brilliant metals.
The surest way to please is to forget
ones self and to think only of others.
Nothing sharpenS the arrow OF sarcasm
so keenly as the courtesy that polishes
it. No reproach is like that we clothe
with smile aud present with bow.
If we had no defects we should not
take SO much pleasure in discovering
those of others.
Thinkers are as scarce as gold, but he
whose thoughts embraces all Of his sub
jects who pursueS it uninterruptedly and
fearless of consequences is a diamond of
enormous size.
A weapon is anything that can serve
to wound; aud sentiments are perhaps
the most cruel weapons man can employ
TO wound his felloWm7n.
A homely man Of merit is never
repulsive. AS soon as he is named his
physique is iorgotten his mind passes
through il to see the soul.
There is no better excess in the world
than the excess Of gratitude.
Ii is never the opinions of others that
displeases us, but the pertinacity that
they display in obtruding them upon us.
He who thinks himsellgood for every
thing is often good for nothing.
