The Peacock at Homo.

The real home OF peacocks or peat
fowls is In India. There they We're
and are hunted. and their flesh Is used
for food AS the bir,ls live in the
same region as the tiger, I.racock hunt
ing Is very dangerous sport. The
long train OF the peacock is not its
tail, as many suppose, but is compos'
ed OF feathers which grow out just
above the tail and are called the tail
cOverts. Peacocks have been known
for many hundred years. They are
mentioned in the Bible. job mentions
them. and they are mentioned, too, IN
! Kings X. Hundreds Of years ago IN
Rome many thousand peacocks were
killed for the great fcasts which th"

The Oxford 0rpaanaga Appropriation.

~ petition is being circulated IN
this community asking the Legisla-
ture for an increase in the annual
appropriation by the State to this
institution from $40, 900 to 500, 900.
We sincerely hope the Legislature
vii! pay no attention to this demand
which is preposterous. Pressure
will be brought to bear on the
ground of sympathy for the poor
orphan and unthinking members are
liable to be swept off their feet.
Here are our reasons for opposing
this proposition: First-The Ok
ford Orphanage is not one whit more
entitled to an appropriation from
the public treasury than is the Odd
Fellows Orphanage at Goldsboro or
the Pythian Orphanage at Clayton.
They are all taking care of the home
less of the State. They are doing
it equally well. 1t may be said that
the Oxford Orphanage does not con-
fine itself to the children of Masons,
but opens its doors to all. 1t need
not do so. The Baptists have a
larger Orphanage than the one at
Oxford to take care of their own
children, the Presbyterians also have
an excellent Orphanage to look after
their own, as have the Method;sts
and Episcopalians. And we happen
to know that the child of Mason
does have the first and best chance
for admittance into the Oxford
Home, which is perfectly paper. but
which destroys the argument that it
is open to all.
Sccondly-The Masons, like the
Odd Fellows, get the glory of main
tanning their institution. They do
not deserve it like the Odd Fellows
and the Pyth;ans do, because it is
not true that the Masons maintain
the Oxford Asylum. They contrib
ute su all part of the current fund
but they control the institution and
claim it as their own.
In the third place, it is unfair to
the people that they be taxed to
support an institution when three
fourths of these same people are
supporting by voluntary offerings,
the children that crowd their own
Orphanaees.
The Oxford Orphanage takes care
of $50 children. The denominations
and Pythians and Odd Fellows take
just as good care Of 1000. Why
should TIE State lavish it's money on
the ore, and give not a cent to the
other?
We are not complaining tEat we
do rot receive the States bounty.
We would not have it. But we Go
protest against the gross discrimi-
nation the State m axes in favor of
the Oxford Orphan Asylum. -Chari-
ty and Children.

POPE IMPROVING BUT
COULDN'T SAY MASS
Physicians Advise Him Against Exor-
ton Of Taking Part in Penta-
costai Exercises.

The condition Of the Popcs health
was such that his doctors did not
think it advisable to allow him To cele-
brate Mass on Pentacost Sunday, ac-
cording to press dispatches from Rome.
The Pope was particularly anxious to
celebrate the Mass this year, as it
commentaries the sixteen hundrcdth
anniversary of the proclamation of the
Christian religion RS the religion of
the Roman empire. 1t was decided 10
postpone the celebration OF the occa-
sion until later date when i, is hoped
that the Pope will have sufficiently
recuperatcd from his recent illness to
enable him 10 take part in it.
The Pope felt in mood to celcbra te
the Mass and told his physicians and
Cardinal Merry del Val that he was
equal to the strain but they did not
think it advisable to allow him to i'm
peril his recovery by the eXertion his
taking part in the ceremony might en-
tail.

FURNITURE STYLES
BY Stewart NJ. Burns of the Hartman
Furniture 4 Carpet Co.


| always tell Mr.. Hartman to buy
only such furniture as will appeal to
good taste, even in the cheapest lines,
because the people today who cannot
afford to buy high priced goods want
good style. Plain lines, simple and
attractive patterns are in demand.
The standard of taste has been raised
and while, until recently, people
bought heavily carved and fancy
scrolled furniture, the tendency is
towards plain lines, artistic dull fin
ish.
Fumed oak and weathered, for liv-
ing room furniture is very popular,
rightly so. Circassian walnut for the
bedroom. We are now able to show
beautiful dressers and chiffoniers as
low in price as most any other finish.
This beautifully artistic wood showing
the natural grain is very much in
demand for decorative effect, being
preferred on account Of being light
and yet not delicate as birds eye
maple for the bedroom.
Colonial and mission lines, believe.
have come TO stay and are carried
out even in the cheapest lines carried
by us. Flanders has almost disap.
peared from the market and we are
closing out what We have left at a
sacrifice.

THE CENSUS
OF IRELAND
Catholics Constitute "a Per Cent Out
of a Population Of 4,390,219;
Episcopalians, 10 Per cent;
and Presbyterians,
10 Per Cent.

The majority of the inhabitants of
Leinster. Munster and Connacht are
Catholics, and in the Province of Ul-
ster they are far more numerous than
the members of any other body"
These are the words of the Census
Commissioners in the General Report
on the Census Of Ireland for 1911,
which has just been issued. Out of
every thousand persons inhabiting the
Province of Ulster, 437 are Catholics,
232 Protestant Episcopalians, 2S6
Presbyterians and 81 Methodists. "All
other denominations" number thirty
four per thousand. These are facts
that are very commonly overlooked by
Unionists who discuss the Ulster qucs-
ton. Yet they are the salient facts of
the situation.
Another Unionist Lie SiIenced.
The Census Report is unsatisfactory
reading from the Irish point of view.
The population has decreased by one
and half per cent since 1901, and is
now 4,390.219. Catholics constitute
seventy-four per cent of the total pop
ulation, Protestant Episcopalians 1871
per cent, Presbyterians ten per cent,
and Methodsts nearly one and a half
per cent. \ point which those who
misunderstood or misrepresent the
salient facts of Ulster often make on
English political platforms is that Ire
land is a priest-ridden country. Here,
again, the Census confronts them with
the facts.
There is in Ireland only one priest
to every thousand Catholics. There is
one clergyman of the Protestant Epis-
copalian Church to every $40 menu
bers of his creed, one to every 600
Presbyterans, and one to 29O Mctho-
dists.
Ireland is the only country in Eu-
rope the population Of which is de-
creasing. The number of emigrants
who left Ireland in the ten Years
totalled 345,159, and during the past
sixty years. the emigration has
amounted to 4,191, 555--a number only
$4,000 less than the present popula-
ton Of the country.
