He indicated half . dozen young

who, the merchant said, had been
harnessed into corsets only waist high

nave everywhere become the custom
that the blacgsmith who formerly toll
ed twelve hours now completes his
working day in eight hours. The
changes which we have in mind here
are consequence OF altered methods
OF conducting business with the mod
ern extension Of commerce. Machin-
cry has replaced muscle. The develops
ment Of the industries by machinery
has called for q different type of hui
man working power in which skill
rather than strength II required. Az
. modern writer has expressed It. the
bodily qualities Of the worker have
been forced by the employer more and
more into the background Of valuation
Industrial factory work requires not
SO much strong men as persons who
can perform with skill the many small
tasks which the machines have SO far
not been able to perform. Hence the
tendency to employ children. half
grown persons and women.
More significant than this Is the fact
that the number Of those who do little
manual labor has increased greatly.
This il an era Of office workers, of
business and governmental officials
whose implements are the desk chair.
pen and pencil, rather than the ham,
mer and the hoe. Even in agriculture
machinery has eliminated some OF tho
hardest types of manual labor. Mus
cular exercise. however, Is a benefit
rather than a detriment to the human
economy, says the Journal Of the
American Medical Association. It i'm
proves the function of the essential
organs Of the body. Hence there has
arisen an unexpected consequence.
namely, the habit Of trying to avert
the possible harmfulness Of some Of
these changed conditions by ''balanc-
ing the lack Of paid muscle work by
work for hygienic reasons, by play
and sport" The creation Of work for
the sake Of health sounds almost
paradoxical.

there are yet $500 cases OF tubercu-

and will serve only as a demonstra-
tion Of what proper treatment can ef-

able to increase its capacity to one
hundred or more by q comparatively
small appropriation and will be asked
- do 10. Eventually Kansas will
probably have several such sanatoria.

So one morning they started off to

"IRIsH BY MARRIAGE"

A witty German Catholic speaking
at celebration in honor of Robert
Emmet, said: There are three kinds
of Irishman by birth. the Irishman
by decent and the Irishman by mar
riage. am Irish by MARRIAGE" he
added proudly, "for I married an
O'Connor." It might be added that
the combination of the Irish and the
German blood makes citizen of un-
surpassed descent. The thorough
ness of the Tenton with the kuick-
ness of the Celt. the initiative and
daring of the Irishman and the
stamina and steadiness Of the Ger
man are very desirable combina-
tion in the worlds battles.

Herr Bebel. the leading Socialist
in Germany. died recently, leaving
estate of over 100000. Socialism is
money-making scheme if you know
how to work it.-Catholic Advance.
March 9TH.
Yes. and it has kept the Socialists
busy on both sides of the Atlantic to
try their hardest to swallow this bit
ter pill. They have to admit the
truth of the above assertion; Rebel
was a Socialist in theory only; in
practice he was Capitalist. He
knew how to work the Socialists. and
succeeded to the snug sum of $780,
OQQ, leaving for the promotion of
the great socialistic propaganda a
mere pittance.
When Windhorst, the great leader
of the Catholic party in Germany,
died March IA, 1891, the most in
fluential Socialistic paper in Ger
many was the Vorwaerts. 1t sang the
praise of Windhorst. who had died
a poor man. whilst he had had
many chances to accumulate wealth.
When at the height of his career,
Windhorst was asked by the Emper-
or of Austria to become guardian
and administrator of the young
Prince Of Thurn and Taxis. with an
annual salary of 100000 marks.
Windhorst consulted two of his epis-
copal friends. who said to him:
"Your duty as a Catholic demands
that you remain at your post of duty.
leader of the Catholic party" And
Windhorst refused the generous sal.
ary. and die a poor man. Compare
him with Bebel.
What riches did the great social
Bishop Kettler leave behind? He car
ried his own pillow to the poor, for
whom his purse was always open,
and for whose social and economic
betterment he spent his whole life,
advocating social reform all over
Germany forty years before anyone
heard Of Bebel, the Capitalist.-Rev.

Premier AsQuith announced that
the amending bill would give effect
to any agreement which the govern
ment was still hopeful might be
reached, the amended bill would em-
body the substance of the proposals
outlined by him on March 8, in the
hope that, after discussion, an agree
ment might be secured.
On March 9 Premier Asquith told
the House of Commons that, before
the bill became operative, poll
would be taken of the parliamentary
electors of each county from Ulster
to decide whether those counties
should be excluded from the provi-
sions of the Irish Home Rule bill
for period of six years from the
first meeting of the new Irish parlia-
ment. If the majority of the voters
were in favor of the scheme that
country would automatically be ex-
cluded for the prescribed period.
AS the members of the House of
Commons prepared for the final
balloting Ulster was filled with ex-
element. In anticipation of possible
outbreaks among orangemen today
heavy police reinforcements were
sent from the south of Ireland into
all of the Ulster districts. The Dor
setshire regiment returned to Holly
wood from its training camp.
COnstables Rushed to Ulster.
Reports of 'gun-running" in the
north continued and it is said that
King Georges embargo against the
importation of arms into Ireland is
being evaded in a wholesale manner.
Three hundred constables.
equipped with rifles and revolvers.
were sent from Dublin to Belfast and
other points in Ulster, where trouble
was believed likely because of the
Home Rule agitation.
The followers of William O'Brien
abstained from voting, Mr.. O'Brien
expressing the view that the premi-
er's action was not straight dealing
either with England or Ireland"
The bill was subsequently sent up
to the House of Lords. 1t was &C.
companied by group of jubilant Ma.
tionalists who escorted the official
bearer Of the bill and sang Goo
Save Ireland"
The House of Lords afterward for
mally read the bill a first time. TIL,
real fight on the measure in tina
chamber will begin in the middle o
June after the Whitsuntide holiday
