Success.

Success that is worth anything must
be earned, must be waited patiently
for before 1T is won. Our foremost
men In every department of civil of
professional, OF commercial, of literary
life are gray-haired men. True, there
are many promising, men and women
In every walk in life who are young +;
but they are not yet ripe, and cannot
be till years have passed over them.
Through the years they must work on
steadily, persistently, constantly, un-
der scorching suns, during long and
weary days, along dusty and crowded
thoroughfares, till the knowledge they
have gathered and the experiences
they have gone through have time to
pass into wisdom.
AS there is a class of soil-tillers who
realize handsomely from the sale of
early vegetables and fruits, so there
are those who in different ways succeed
In making ''hit" and rcaping quick
pecuniary returns. But, early towers.

house growths, and spring from rich
and highly stimulated soils The great
crops of grain which feed the world
are months in growing and maturing.

WHAT DREAMS ARE MADE OF
modern Science Has Taken a Hand In
Interpreting the "visions of
the Night"

scientific dream Interpretation helps
us to see ourselves as we really are
gives us intimate glimpses of the sub
conscious as well as conscious desires,
FEARS and modes of thinking that enter
into the making OF our character and
the shaping of our conduct, according
to III. Addington Bruce in Mothers
Magazine.
The compilers of the gaudy little
paper-covered dream books once 80
much In vogue, went, rightly enough,
on the theory that dreams are SYM
bolic. But they erred by assuming that
they are always symbolic of future
events, and that any particular dream
element can always be interpreted as
symbolic Of the same kind of future
event.
Those who expect modern science to
provide hem with dream manual
akin to \ old dream books, so that
everyone may become his own inter
prefer glance, are consequently
doomed o disappointment. Accurate
dream Interpretation almost always
means time and effort. But 1t is well
worth the trouble it costs. All who
would discover unsupported weakness
es and defects In themselves, who
would gain maximum of health, hap
piness and efficiency through right liv-
Ing, will do well to seek to have their
dreams analyzed.
And 1t is not only for the light it
throws on ones nature and character
that scientific dream Interpretation is
worth while. There are dreams which,
rightly interpreted, throw light on the
state of the dreumer's physical health.

boys of Cork" he said, that drove
the Yankee sailors out" They want
ed more of that spirit in Ireland if
she was not to suffer from the moral
contagion that was about.
The Cardinal, in putting to the meet
ing motion for vote of thanks to
the lecturer, proposed by J. M. Flood,
paid a high compliment to Father
Meehan for his address. One of the
most terrible evils that could aff1ict
people, he said, was bad literature
and unsavory plays. The cinema
could also be made an instrument of
evil. He could not speak from expert
ence in these matters, because he
never crossed the threshold or either
theatre or cinema house. When he
read of some of the displays in Dub
lin, and of the fact that they had large
audiences, in spite of the remon.
strances of their grand Archbishop,
watching continually for the moral
purity of his people, it occurred to
him that If the devil came to stage
play in Dublin he would have bumper
houses. That was a thing that every
good, self-respecting Catholic should
set his face against. He was walking
up O'Connell street the previous day,
and he saw two splendid specimens
of Irish girls with scantiness of skirts
and transparency of stockings. There
were grave dangers in the fashions
imported into Ireland. A very stylish
lady came to interview him from a
newspaper in New York, and the first
question she asked was what he
thought of the hobbleskirt (laughter).
He told her he did not know what 1t
was, and she offered to bring one and
show it to him. He declined the offer
as it was dangerous to criticize ladies'
dresses in America (laughter). When
giving Holy Communion he was often
strongly tempted to pass by those
young ladies who came up with lit
tie less dress than they might have
to say the least of 1t. The Vigilance
Committee in Dublin was doing a
great work. A society was started in
New York which had white list with
plays that might be attended in the
various theatres with interest and
without injury. Nothing was said
about the other places. He consid-
cred this white list very useful in
stitution, and such movement in Ire
land would be very useful.

LITANY FOR PEACE.

(For Private Devotion.)
(From Catholic Standard and Times.)
Lord have mercy!
Christ have mercy!
Lord have mercy!
Jesus hear us!
Jesus graciously hear us!
By the hymn of the angels at Thy
Birth,
By Thy salutation to the Apostles,
BY Thy voice to the waves of Galilee,
BY Thy blessing to the sinner,
BY Thy prayers for unity among Thy
disciples,
By the love that was to mark Thy
followers,
By the great peace Offering of the
Cross,
BY Thy departing promise: My peace
leave you,
Give us peace!
From the ambition for empire,
From the greed for territory,
From the blindness that is injustice,
From the selfishness that is theft,
From the liberty which is license,
From the love of money which is
idolatry,
From the hate that is murder,
From the hardness that will not par
don,
From the pride that will not ask par
don,
Deliver US, o Lord!
BY the helpless cry Of orphans,
BY the anguished tears of widows,
By the groans of the dying,
BY the dead in unblessed graves.
That thou wouldst make all nations to
dwell as one,
That the hearts of rulers may be as
wax in Thy hands,
That having learned in affliction, we
may turn to Thee,
That wars may cease from the earth,
By Thy title: Prince of Peace,
Lord God of Armies,
We beseech Thee, hear US!

PARSIMONY is NOT ECONOMY
Many People Able to Buy What They
Want Use Situation as Excuse
for Going Without.

1t is a curious and notifying con-
dition of the prevailing economy" that
many people abundantly able to buy
what they want use the situation as an
excuse for going without. What does
this profit them? 1t merely makes
them richer at a time when the talk
is of being poorer, says the Hartford
COurant.
Food is one thing and clothes and
other articles that shoppers buy
are in distinctly other class
When Smith cut down the sugar,
there is more sugar for Jones,
and the supply Of sugar is limited. But
when Mrs Smith goes without a cloak
for which she can easily pay and
which she expected to buy this season,
she is not helping Mrs. Jones to get
1t; she is simply misering along in her
own way, and to her small ability dr1v-
ing poor people out of work and dis
couraging merchants whose capital is
invested. This isn't economy, it is par
simOny.
If everybody should quit making
purchases, what would become of
manufacturers or dealers and of the
larger number of workers? It is a
good time to keep level head. Many
who watch the tendency of business
say frankly that people of limited
means are less saving than those who
can well afford to get what they
want.

new METHODS OF FIGHTING

MARKEN ISLAND OLD STYLE
Ancient Manners Are Still Observed
and Historic Costumes Are Worn
by the Inhabitants.

Marker island is bit of the old HOl-
not far from Edam, of cheese fame.
Holland is rapidly becoming modern
lied nowadays; the blue bloomer of
the canal bOatmen has gone the way
of the wooden shoe, well toward OBJ
livion, although the latter, it is said,
is becoming increasingly popular with
the price of leather soaring, writes
Niksah. The Dutch are rapidly aban-
doning the old ways that endeared
them to the artists of bygone genera
tons, so that any spot where the tradi-
tional customs are still preserved is
history.
Such a spot is Marker island, where
old manners are still followed and the
old costumes still worn. Separated by
only a narrow channel from the pro-
gressive mainland, it is none the less
fifty years behind the times. 1t seems
to be characteristic of small islands
that they progress much more slowly
than mainland whence their people
came. Thus in the Arran islands off
the coast of Ireland the old Irish
tongue is still spoken; in the Hebrides
men still live as they lived in the days
of Scott, and on Marker island the
men still go down to the fishing boats
in boomers and wooden shoes.
The dark blue bloomer is the mark
of the married man, while the single
men wear white-a somewhat Illogical
arrangement in view Of the facilities
for laundry work that married men
ought to have. The women wear the
old-time costumes and carry their
knitting about with them on the streets.
Every one of the houses is exceeding
ly small and almost unbelievably clean.
There are not more than 300 people all
told in this little colony of fishermen.
Marker is quaint and old-fashioned,
but it lacks the touch of se1f-uncon-
seriousness to make it perfect. In all
the little shops you can purchase pic
ture postal cards depicting scenes that
are quaint" and typical" And when
region begins to realize that it is
picturesque it has taken the first step
on the road to the commonplace.

WHY FERTILIZER PRICES
HAVE ADVANCED.

Cannon and crops use the same
food. Six hundred thousand tons
Of nitrateS went to make explosives
last year, in the United States
alone.
Sulphuric acid necessary for the
manufacture of acid phosphate is
normally made from Spanish sui
phur ores. Submarines have now
almost entirely cut off this supply
Birthstone, used as a substitute
source of sulphur, must be trans
ported by rail at great expense
from louisiana and Texas, since
the government has found it neces
sary to commander sulphur-carry
ing boats.
Large quantities of phosphate
rock from Florida and Tennessee
must now go by rail at high freight
rates. Uncle Sam needs the boats,
Higher labor, machinery, coal
and supply costs have cauol gen
eral advance in all raw materials
varying from % to 100 per cent.
Burlap bags which normally cost
10 cents each, now cost % cents and
are scarce at that.
Labor which was plentiful in
1914 at $500 per day is now almost
lnobtainable at $3.50 per day.
There can be but one answer TO
nditionS such as these; namely
high-priced fertilizers.
