A Strange Colony.

The Colonia Cosme. on the Paraguay
above Asuncion, is one of the most Gu
rious in the world The members of
the colony make or grow everything
they want and import nothing The
workmen have seven hours work a
day and earn, not money, but time
Their wages are hours and half hours
These they sometimes save up till they
have week in hand and then go of
on an excursion If a man wants a
chair or table he pays for it in hours
Of work, which are deducted from the
balance to his credit. Three men went
off up the river in canoe for a three
weeks holiday. They sold their canoe
at Asuncion for pound and came
home overland in ten days, lodged in
the best houses In the villages on the
way and yet had some money in hand
at the end.-London Spectator.

is to educate the Irish people in the
Gaelic language so that they might
become interested in Irish literature
and history thus learning that Ireland
has glorious past. This remedy OF
red by the Gaelic league has been
accepted by the people and after
years of agitation the new Irish
national university has decreed that
beginning with 1918 all students must
pass an examination in this language
for admission. Now 3,066 primary
schools in Ireland out of 5000 teach
this language, while in high schools
and colleges still greater progress has
been made. The idea is to nationaltze
the entire educational system in
ireland and through it to renational-
ize the entire country. This work
cannot be done in day or a year.
To supplement the work of the
ocnools, $50 travelling teachers are
employed. On Saturdays and Sun
days, they teach the parents 50 that
the language is now used ordinarily
by about 10000 people. :. 1t is thus
giving new life and vigor to the Irish
people. Under the auspices Of these
travelling teachers about so celebra-
lions are held annually in Ireland at
which prizes are given for the best
song, speech, story and useful articles
made in. Gaelic. The pride of the
country is being aroused to purchase

ence to those of English manufacture,
in decided contrast to what was
done few years ago. On St.
Patrick's day collections for the
league are taken up all over Ireland,
that country contributing nearly
$4,000 to its support. while about
$225,000 comes from this country.
Movement Spreading.
From then on the speaker eulogized
the Gaelic language, telling what it
had been used for, how st. Patrick
prayed it, how King Brian Borou used
it, and the like. Still 1t was allowed
to fall into such a state that many
of the Irish people were getting
ashamed of it and had not the league
taken it up it would soon have van
ished from Ireland. This movement
to restore this language to use has
now extended to every part OF Ire
land, while the language had been If
allowed to languish for one Or two
generations more would have died
out entirely. No real Irishman can
stand by and see this tragedy enacted
The speaker said he had strong hopes
of the language and the Irish people.
He looked forward to the day when
the Gaelic language would roll back
the flood of Anglicism which had so
long threatened the nation
Finonan MoColum, the second
speaker made his remarks entirely In
Gaelic, he speaking about 1 3 minutes
and holding the close interest of his
hearers.
Chairman Mccarthy closed the
meeting by stating to whom con-
tributions NIGH. be made and ex-
tending to ali an invitation to attend
the meetings of the Irish Language
society.

Bread and pvspepsi,.

The conclusion that wheat bread Is
unit for dyspeptics, sometimes jump
ed ut because I'LL effects are noticed to
follow its use, is erroneous. On the
contrary. IT has been pointed out by
Bouchard and others that farinaceous
food is peculiarly adapted to some dys-
pept1c patients. 1t Is the microbes in
the starch which are capable of pro-
ducing irritating acids that cause the
trouble. To avoid this Bouchard rec
ommends that only the crust or toast
ed crumbs of the bread be used by
dyspeptics, particularly those whose
stomAchs are dilated- The reason of
thib is explained by the fact that bak-
ine temporarily, though not perma-
nent1y, arrests the fermentation Of
dough When it is again heated by
the warmth of the stomach the fer
mentation Is renewed. In cases where
the bread is toasted brown through
the fermentation is stopped perma-
nently-Family Doctor.

The ShiiIaIah,

The shillalah is no raw limb of a
tree. 1t is almost as much a work Of
art as a well balanced cricket bat
The old shillalahs were as carefully
looked after by their loving owners as
is a rifle in the wilds. Cut from the
sturdiest of young blackthorns and
showing as little taper as an ebony
ruler, it was weighed with lead or iron

center of gravity was about four-fifths
