Cinematograph Progress.
rom the New Orleans Times-Democrat.

Quite the most interesting use to which
the cinematograph has yet been put is in
connection with the Turco-Italian war:
and yet We do not have reference to the
taking of battle scenes. Somehow we
accustom ourselves quickly to the idea
of moving pictures Of moments of tur-
mol and the surprise comes in another
direction. Somewhere out on the Tripod
itan desert there is an oasis held by the
18th Bersiglieri of Naples. They are
fighting hard and fighting well. and have
suffered much at the hands of the Arab
raiders. Back in Naples the members
of the regiment have loved ones, sweet
hearts, wives, mothers and dear friends,
from whose arms and friendships they
were torn by the edict of war
As is the custom in such cases, the
friends at home prepared boxes of dain-
ties to he sent to the boys at the

day it was arranged that all who had
dear friends in the Eleventh should
meet at one of the barracks OF Naples.

We do not feel certain that generals
of the old school have taken kindly to
this form of entertainment for soldiers
in uncomfortable surroundings. 1t is
highly probable that such glimpse of
home might increase nostalgia to an
alarming degree, and that the martinez
would socn see to it that the picture
mechanism would be found out of order.
The time may come. however when a

Sneezing as an Omen.
From Answers.


The only attention we pay to sneeze
at the present day is to endeavor to get
rid of the chill which causes it: but a
sneeze in the days of old Greece was a
matter Of great concern and import.
There was then a god of sneezing. and
great undertakings would even be aban-
doned il a man sneezed at an inappro-
pirate moment, the act being looked upon
as the oracle of the god
A sneeze between midnight and noon
was looked upon as fortunate sign, but
between noon and midnight it betokened
great misfortune. To sneeze to your right
was lucky: to the left unlucky. Two or
four sneezes We're lucky. one or three
very unlucky, and any undertaking in
hand should. if possible. be abandoned;
more than four sneezes did not count.
There is a saying in many parts of Eng
land today, "Once a wish. twice a kiss.
three times a letter. four times something
better Ii people sneeZed together it was
a good sign. particularly If they happened
to be discussing business.

II has been suggested that way might

HOME RULE TO WAIT

After Easter.
DETAILS ARE KEPT SECRET
Active Campaign in Britain For and
Against the Measure-Great
Debate Ahead.
Foreign Correspondence OF The Star.

Foreign Correspondence OF The Star.
LONDON. March .. 1872.
The Irish home rule bill is not to be in
PRODUCED in the house of commons before
Easter.
Thus far the members of the ministry
have kept the secret as 10 the details OF
the bill entirely to themselves. unless per-
haps the nationalist leaders have been
given a hint as to how far the govern
ment is prepared TO go. Mr.. Churchill de-
l.vered long speech in Belfast without
letting very much out and he has been
followed by Mr.. Birrell. the irish secre-
eiry, who has said even less. He. how
ever, did tell the country that the bill
was TO be introduced by Mr.. Asquith,
the premier in this respect following. the
example of William Ewart Gladstone,
who personally introduced both his home
rule bills, and that this was proper, as
the bill was no departmental measure, but
an important and an authoritative act Of
the whole liberal party
Control of Domestic Affairs.
The preamble or first clause will set
forth that the bill sets up on Irish soil
an Irish parliament. a house OF commons
and a senate, with legislative authority
over the whole range or purely irish DO
mestic affairs. This was hardly news.
What the people have been asking is
what safeguards have been inserted to
protect the Protestant minority in Ulster,
and more particularly what are to be the
financial arrangements. The ministers
have assured the Obstetrics that the safe
guards against religious intolerance will
be sufficient without having as Yet
stopped the agitation against the bill in
Belfast and the surrounding country.
However. this will not be the govern
ment's greatest difficulty, for the non
conformists in England are not giving
their Acknowledgements in Ireland the
same support that they did in previous
home rule campaigns.
What will trouble the ministers are the
financial arrangements. Nationalist MEM
hers speaking in ireland lately have been
demanding full fiscal autonomy, a de-
mand that the government can hardly
grant and refusal of which might cause
the bill TO be rejected by the Dublin
convention. "a was the Irish councils bill.
The government might grant the control
of excise or inland revenue. but to hand
over the control of the customs would
lie TO court the opposition of some of
their own English and Scotch free trade

Cities 1t is often spoken of as the most
aristocratic city in this country, and one
reason is that the government of the

1t has happened that the mayor of the
city was also the president of the ST.
Cecilia Society. which is the old social
organization corresponding almost exact

but the musical feature was abandoned
early in the nineteenth century. and it is
now a social organization. 1t gives three
balls each year. which are spoken of in
Charleston as "St. Cecilias." They are
always held Thursday. because the first
st. Cecilia concert was given on ST. Ce-

The only exception to this rule was in
honor of President James Monroe. when
he visited Charleston in 1919. when the
ST. Cecilia Society gave a ball on a Sat-
