There's nothing spoils NOR

his load of grief and long for
death as a relief. why doesn't
that poor skate arise Unsympa-
thetic Neighbor cries, land put
his foot down good and fiat, and
let his wife know where he's at?
For every husband safe and sape
will see he's boss of his domain. !"
But what can a poor pilgrim do
if he is married to shrew? If
he rears up to speak a piece the
wife will quickly make him cease,
for she can yell three times as
loud. and has the backing of the
crowd. And ii he gathers up d
chair and with it combs the lady S
hair. of public wrath there'll be
a storm-he is a tiend in human
form. And if. worn out, he pulls
his freight, the constables will
search the state, and drag him to
his home again, where he'll be
sentenced to the pen. OF all po-

Waste of Infant Life.


What we want is to carry on a cam
paign in Ireland which will bring out
wildly the needlessness of the waste
of infant life. and of the simple meas
ures which can be taken to reduce it,
if united effort is made by official au-
thorities and voluntary societies acting
hand in hand to care for the mothers
and young children in these times of
stress and trial.
The housing conditions in the towns
of Ireland present a great difficulty,
but even with this difficulty much can
be done to save the children. by wise
and sympathetic doctors. and visiting
nurses by instruction of the mothers,
by the provision of good milk, open
spaces and Fairgrounds. etc.
1T will be splendid if the friends and
well wishers of 'ould' Ireland in Amer
lea will take up your suggestion and
make the week of st. Patrick's day
week for the preservation of the yis-
ing generation of the Irish race in ali it's
pristine health and vigor.''

From the highest officer to the most

No Feeling Against England.

ut is a wrong belief that there is any
feeling in France against England or
any thought that England has not done
her full share of the work or furnished
her full quota of soldiers. France and
England were unprepared at the begin
ming of the war, and l consider that
both nations have accomplished feat
in enlisting, training and modifying
armies that will be written by the his
torian as marvellous.
There is no thought in the mind of
any Frenchman nor in the mind of any
Englishman, l believe, that the war can
end in any other way than in the COM
plete defeat of Germany. The entente
allies are determined to put an end to
militarism forever"
