ity. But this answer proves too
much. 1t would show that it is never
lawful even to wish for death,
whereas, under many conditions such
as those now under consideration;
death is contamination devoutly to
be wished, and may be most piously
desired, as Ecclesiasticus says Xxx
III, Better is death than bitter life
and everlasting rest than continual
sickness
The truth seems to be, says the
Jesuit, that there are many things
highly good and desirable in them
selves which become evil when com
passed in particular way. The death
of great tyrant or prosecutor may
be blessing to the universe, but his
death by the hand of an assassin is an
intolerable evil So is death, in facto
esse Tin itself, as the schoolmen say,
an everlasting rest; but no death in
fieri Ito be done) when that means
dying by your own hand. There the
unnaturalness and the irrationality
come in. A mother, watching the death
agony of her son, may piously wish it
over; but it would be an unmotherly
act to lay her own hand on his mouth
and smother him. To lay violent
hands on oneself is abidingly cruel
and unnatural, more so than if the
suicides own mother slew him.
In view of modern tendency on the
part of certain prisoners to go on
hunger strikes" and so invite death
Father Rickaby's view is interesting
He says: "a mans taking food peri
odically is as much part Of his life
as the coursing of the blood in his
veins. 1t is doing himself no less
violence to refuse food ready to hand
when he is starving, on purpose that
he may starve, than to open a vein
on purpose to bleed to death-espe-
cially when the food is readily &C
cessible.' Again to destroy a thing
is the exclusive right of the owner and
master of the same.
If, therefore, man is his own mas
ter, in the sense that no one else can
claim dominion over him, may he not
destroy himself? The metaphysician
will say that man cannot be his own
master any more than he can be his
own father. Yet the Catholic who
knows his Master and Maker will not
need to have recourse to any other
argument that that which the simple
catechism teaches him. Even among
the Greeks it was taught (by Arts
totle for instance) that the citizen be-
longs to the State and that suicide
constituted robbery of the State.
The great deterrent against suicide
in cases VIII ere misery meets with
recklessness, is the thought of Ham
let: TN that sleep of death what
dreams may come, above all, the
fear of being confronted by an angry
God. Apart from belief in Gods
judgment and future state, our ar
guments against suicide may be good
logic, but they make poor rhetoric
for those who need them most. Men
are wonderfully initiative in killing
themselves. Once the practice is
come in vogue, it becomes a rage, an
epidemic. Atheism and materialism
form the best nurseries for the con-
tagion of suicide. 1t is shrewd re-
mark of Madame de Stael: Though
there are crimes of darker hue than
suicide, yet there is none other by
which man seems so entirely to re-
nounce the protection of God"

THE POOR SOULS LAMENT.

Oh, how I look with wistful eyes
To heavens beauteous light above,
And sigh, and say within those
skies
There is my home, my home of love;
There all my wishes, all my tears,
My thousand longings unfulflled,
The cry of all these burning years
Will be in God forever stilled."
But yet alas, my suff'ring heart,
Thy dearest hope must be deferred,
God knows how long the fires smart
Will burn before my voice is heard.
But hope-for many friends are
mine,
That love me as in days of yore,
That pray ''let light eternal shine
On him, oh Lord, forever more"
Oh friends that love me, friends that
know
How heavens justice is severe,
Remember me that burn below,
And wait, and praY and suffer here,
AIu L Will Pc y 4OA SOu WhOh IL &C,
My friends in heav'n will bless you
too;
And God Himself, Who pities me,
Will grow more merciful to you.
Oh would the angel left the skies,
Whose breath will cool the searching
fire,
Whose dazzling wing will help me
rise
To God, to God, my souls desire.
No tongue has told, no ear has
heard,
Nor can heart on earth divine
How eagerly l wait the word:
Come, faithful soul, thy God is
thine"

Various Uses
Of A|dbaStine

Alabastine is desirable for schools,
being perfectly sanitary. It's soft,
mellow tints add to the chcerfulness
and beauty of the school room and
avoid eye strain.
For churches ami public halls,
Alabastine is the ideal wall coating,
being more durable and moro eco
nOmical than any other coating.
For hospitals and public institu-
tons, Alabastine is the wall coating
material that is most satisfactory
under all conditions.
The Alabastine Company's art de-
partment will gladly, with no OK
pcnse, work through your local dec
orator or with you direct in plan
ming out suitable color effects for
any work on any building.
Will gladly send you their free
stencil offer for decorating any rooms
in which Alabastine may be used.
For working over old plastcred
walls and ceilings you could use
nothing better. We have sold over
100 cases right here in Lakeland in
the past six months. There must be
something to 1t.

Most Popular Of the Materlals
to Be Worn.

Spring costumes of conservative
type do not show very decided changes

any sort Of coat that Is most becoming
to her and yet not be conspicuously
out Of style.
Generally speaking, however, Gus.
lomary lines prevail. Coat fronts
are sharply cut away anywhere from
the bust line to below the waist
line. Coats with fronts cut away from
the bust line and revealing chic little
waistcoats are faYcrites with the Par.

worn only by tho exceptionally slen'
der woman, and the cutaway models
most successful here fasten down to
the waist line or little above, and
are sloped away gradually from
there. In this model, too, there Is
often a waistcoat, but II appears above

Appearance.

No feature of a dress requires more
careful and discreet treatment than
sleeves, and nothing detracts more
from the appearance Of a gown than
o2cr.elaborate ones. Elaborate they
may be in reality, much trimmed and
intricate OF cut, but, withal, their shape
must assume n dotlniteness. This Is
true even of the angel" wing" and
other varieties of the flowing sleeves,
although as these are generally OF
thin materials the arm itself being
visible, defines the line.
In some instances the long sleeves,
close fitting, that are seen in eve.
ming dresses are completed ct the
wrists by wide flowing cuffs wired or
stiffened and sometimes OF such ex.
aggerated proportions that they would
extend beyond the finger tips were
they to be drawn down over them.

Waist STYLES,

Chiffon waists are still in strong
demand, says the Dry Goods Econom-
list. especially tho models combined
with handsome white laces. The touch
of color corresponding to the tone Of
the suit Is supplied by the chiffon,
while the lace gives a dressy finish to
a model which otherwise might be too
dark in color or simple In design.
Many beautiful prints were shown
among the novelties, some Of which
are the chiffon, radium and crepe de
chine showing oriental patterns and
coloring. The color scheme Of the
waist Is carried out in profusion on the
sleeves, as we'll as the front and back
sections.

THE IRIsH LANGuAGE socINTIEs


The newspapers have been report
ing the annual celebration of st
Bridgit's day by the Irish Language
Societies. a leading festival OF Feb
ruary's calendar, and few people
realize the remarkable revival which
these occasions manifest.
Not many years ago, the Gael
(0riginal Irish) tongue was a mere
fugitive dialect Of the outskirts
Ireland Not merely did the English
authorities endeavor to suppress 1t,
but Irish parents would hang block
of wood about the ehildren's necks,
and cut notch in II for every Gaelic
word spoken. The school master
would deal with the offenders at his
leisure.
The ATTEMPTED revival of tongue
as difficult as Greek impresses many
hard headed people as chimerical
Nevertheless, 5000 Irish schools are
teaching Gaelic, 100000 lrishmen
are studying it, Gaelic signs appear
on village shops, the newspapers
print it, clerks and laborers sit W
nights to dig at It, and Irish Ian
guage societies are springing up all
over the, United States.
The irish race has been described
as possessing brightness, wit, flu
ency, readiness, the artistic tempera-
ment, the warm heart, and social
charm" No race can realize the full
possibilities of such heritage until
the dreams OF its past greatness I'll
its heart. 1t must preserve its own
customs, play its own sports, listen
to the spell of its own oratory, and
sing its own songs,
Irish literature Is comparable tc
that of any other people. II is not
able for the fervor and imagination
of its description, for simple yet bold
and powerful imagery, and for strong
rhythmic sense. And until this fine
revival began it was simply gather
ing dust In obscure corners OF the IL
braries. Here is fine expression
of the principle that man does not
live by bread Alone" and very con-
siderable industrial revival has taken
place In Ireland as the result of this
new national spirit.
