A Week Of 1lunders.

Sir william Harcourt once told me
that he had dined out every night for
whole week In advance OF his iDvi
:atiOns. He discovered his mistake only
on the Inst night. when on going to
dine with some people who gave long
Invitations and large dinners he found
them alone. After II very pleasant
evening he thanked them for asking
him In so friendly manner. where
upon they explained that the invita-
ton had been for week later. but
that they had been only too delighted
at bis mistake. On hearing this Sir
William Looked at his engagement book
and discovered that this was the last
OF number of Invitations which he
had anticipated by week.-"Memo

Invsntine the Sleeping Car.

Inhabitants Of Central City, Colo,
will tell you that George Pullman got
his idea for his sleeping car from the
little cabin he occupied near the stamp
mill he owned and ran in Russell Gulch
when he was II pioneer at that place
In the early sixties. This cabin had its
sleeping quarters in I'll. form OF hunks
along the wall to leave more space for
the living room. In speaking to his
friends Of his idea OF II sleeping car
Pullman said 1t would look like II cabin
with hunks along the sides. In 1852
Pullman left Central City. having
made considerable money from his vn
rioiIs ventures there. He kept expert
menting along the lines Of his idea and
In lS,s, constructed the first sleeping

THE WELSH CHURCH BILL.

The Welsh members of the House of
Commons threaten to revolt because
the government introduced a bill to
postpone the operation of the Welsh
church bill until six months after the
war. The Welsh members complained
that they had not been consulted by
the members from the House of Com
mons. The Welsh must be very in
experienced in British policies if they
imagine or suppose that the British
government consults anybody where
its own private interests are concern
ed. The Home Rule bill and the Welsh
church bill were passed upon before
the war began. Both have been de-
ferred. The interests of the WEIGH
church bill is the latest indication of
the lack of heed which the British
Parliament pays to remedial legisla-
ton. The WEIGH church bill had for
its purpose the disestablishment of the
Church of England in Wales so that it
would no longer have recognized the
state church of that country.

PRISONER OF WAR ORDAINED.

A young French seminarian who had
progressed in his studies sufficient to
receive the deaconate before being
called to arms by the French Re-
public, was recently ordained by Bish-
op Macmillan, while being detained
as a prisoner of war in the German
camp at Leichfield. The following
from Munich written in connection
with the treatment accorded to French
priests by the Germans is of interest
to our readers:
Whatever may be said against Ger
many, she is certainly treating the
French priests with great kindness
and consideration. l have had occas-
ions to write to the fortress at 1ngold-
stadt about an old French priest taken
prisoner in the beginning of the war.
The reply came that l might write to
him and send him anything wanted.
The commander says in conclusion:
Able Vanat is very well and is bear

NOTEWORTHY pEArHREp CON.
VERSION,

An interesting deathbed conversion
was brought to light last week by
Father Bennett, c. IS. R., who was at
the time preaching a mission at the
footing Church. He stated during one
OF his discourses that on the previous
evening he had been called to the
deathbed of prominent resident in
the locality, whom he received into
the Church.
1t was to the deathbed of DR.. David
Roberts that Father Bennett was
called.
DR.. Roberts was the nephew of Sir
William Roberts, a medical authority
of distinction. It was his family that
established Calvinistic Methodism in
Wales.
When he was told that the end was
near, DR.. Roberts said that he would
rather see a priest than any one else.
Father Bennett was sent for, and at
the request Of the patient, received
him into the Church.
It is stated that no outward cir.
cumstances conduced to the CONVEX.
sion of Dr.. Roberts except the con.
duct Of fellow student, who is a
Catholic. The deceased was fifty.three
years Of age.-Catholic Universe.
