grets today that superintendent r..

RESPECT TO OLD AGE VANISHING!-OPINIONS
OF THE AGED ARE VALUELESS, ANYWAY

When counsel meant advice as to-
the best way to lead the tribe against
its enemies, to snare game, to wealth
er storms, to manage fields, to bring
the livestock through the winter, or
to meet some exigency which befalls
family once in decade or so. the
experience of the old man was much
more valuable than any of the unsea-
soned thoughts of the young man. In
fact, when EXPERIENCE was the
basis Of all wisdom, the counsel of
the aged was priceless.
But this is an age of new-found
truths, which the old knew not in
their youths. What's the good of an
old mans advice in such matters as
anti-toxins, soiI-bacterioIogy, boil
weeViI, DIESEL engines, automobiles,
aeropIanes, dual personality, gas en-
gines, electricity, trusts, or any of the
great new determining factors of
modern life?
The old know it too. They try to
keep young, instead of boasting of
their years. The best they ask of their
sons is to be received as equals. They
shake theE reverend boards and clip
their hoary locks and play golf and
talk youthful. They know they are up
against a hard game to keep in the
running with youth in an age of reVo-
luton after revolution.

BY HERBERT QUICK.

BY HERBERt 9UlCk.
1 suspect that never in the history
of any civilized people was less re-
spect paid to old age as such than in
the United States of America in the
year of our Lord, 1914.
Grandparents are little reverenced
by their grandchildren. Parents are
addressed by their children in Ian
guage and tones which would have
created a vortex of horror, and a
whirlwind of birch fifty years ago.
Then, the boy who referred to his
father as ''the old man" was fear
some object to the fellows who rather
preferred not to play with him. 'The
governor" 'the mater" and such ia
miliarities were looked upon as evil
dence of a tendency deVilward.. Now
the best parents can expect, as rule,
is to be accepted by their children as
equals. Reverence is neither demand
ed nor bestowed. The awe of parent
hood has departed.
think that old age is not respected
nowadays, because, as compared with
youth, it is not as worthy of respect
as it used to be.
"Old men for counsel, young men
for war"-such used to be the way
the maxim ran. 1t should be revised.

Animals and Earthquakes.

One Of the mysteries still unsolv-
ed is that of the sense by which the
lower animals become aware of the
approach of earthquakes. For three
or four days before the severe
earthquakes at Guadalajara, Mexi-
co, the many parrots of the city
showed. great and unusual restless
ness, and during the period of dis
turbance the increased cries of the
birds gave warning of the nearness
of the worst shocks. Rats also be-
came alarmed, fleeing from the city
before the earthquakes came. SUI
persensitiveness to faint shocks
scarcely gives satisfactory explana-
ton, for modern seismographs are
very sensitive, and it is quite un-
likely that tremors too slight to be
recorded would be felt 80 strongly
as to give alarm.

THE CATHOLIC CENSUS.

The official figures for the Catholic
population in the United States, from
the publishers of the Official Catholic
Directory, show an astonishing in
crease of 913,827 to the population of
this church for 1913, accounted for
principally, we are told, by the first
authentic reports from the Ruthenian-
Greek bishop This is the first time
all the Ruthenian Catholics have been
included in the census. The editor
of the Directory places the total mum.
Der of Catholics at 16,O67,9S5, and de.
clares that this is very conservative
figure, believing that 10 per cent
should be added for floating popula
ton
New York state has the larges
Catholic population, numbering nearl
100000, and over 100000 are repor
ed in the three states of Pennsylvan;e
Illinois and Massachusetts.
