WHAT WE NEED.

What we need Is not more Cath
Ollie newspapers. but more readers
of Catholic newspapers. The Cath
olic press of the United States
would be virile enough and suffi-
GENTLY powerful molder of public
opinion If the number of subscrib-
ers were increased seyen-fold. AS
long as the great majority of Cath
olics are apathetic on the question
of Catholic newspapers we are
bound to have periodic outbursts OF
ignorant bigotry that could be met
and dissolved by a more militant
and wide-awaloe activity on the part
of Catholics themselves. If hall
the we'll wishers of the Catholic
press and the resolution makers
would see to it that their names
were inscribed on the mailing lists
of some Catholic newspaper, the
church would enjoy a new era oil
progress and the sphere Of her in
fluence would be UNNECESSARILY ex
tended. Catholic Bulletin.

ST. PATRICK.

Seven cities claimed Homer, but
to st. Patrick, whose feast day will
be celebrated on March IT, have
been assigned Roman, Galhc,
Scottish, British and Celtic origin.
Years ago a witty rabbi at dinner
on st. Patrick's day made an in
genious attempt TO prove that the
irish race were the lost tribe of
Israel. The appeal of Patrick as
saint is to all nations because
of his manly and militant sanctity.
There was nothing namby-pamby
about his practices and professions
of Christianity and his entire life
from boyhood, when he was sold
into bondage by the Picts, was a
career full of soul-stirring adven-
ture, sorrows, hardships and event
full triumph through faith and
works. Patrick was just the stripe
of man to make an instant appeal
TO a proud, hardy and quick-witted
people like the Irish, for in addi-
ton TO his life filled with hazards
and suffering, the great missionary
was gentleman, and there is no
race under the sun quicker in its
appreciation of true gentility. He
slew no dragons, but he bearded the
Druidical priests in their groves,
routed them and their dark mys-
teries and preached kindlier creed
with such earnest eloquence and
fire that he swept an emotional peo-
pie off their feet in a fervor of
zeal for the new dispensation of
love sealed by the suffering and
death of crucified Christ, so that
their faith has endured ever since
through centuries of persecution
and suffering that have no parallel
In history Out of Patrick's great
conquest of the Irish-the first and
only one in their history, for con-
quest after all can be only OF the
heart and spirit of a people-haye
grown wealth OF splendid legend
and history. Small wonder then
that on the seventeenth of March

GEM OF THE SEA.

The month of March is pc
culiarly lreland's month. The great
est festival from a civic viewpoint
in all the world is the seventeenth.
St. Patricks day. With every Celt
the prayer is that the Old Land
may be free, but when and how
still remain to be answered. II
may not be inappropriate to quote
in part the prophecy of st. Malachy
as he lay dying in the arms of st.
Bernard (114S):
BE of good heart. The church
of God in Ireland shall never fail
With terrible discipline long shall
she be purified. But afterwards
far and wide shall her magnificence
shine forth in cloudless glory. And.
oh, Ireland, do thou lift up thy
head. The day shall come; a day
of ages, a week of centuries shall
be numbered unto thee. Then
shall thy exceeding great merits
have obtained mercy for thy ter
rible foe, yet so as through
scourges as great and enduring.
Thy enemies who are in thee shall
be driven out and humbled and
their names taken away. But in so
much as thou art depressed in so
much shalt thou be exalted and
thy glory shall not pass away.
There shall be peace in album
dance within thy boundaries and
beauty and strength in the defences.
II Is enough, o Lord, the church
in Ireland shall never fail and
though long shall it be desired, my
country shall one day stand forth
in its might and be fresh in its
beauty like the rose"
God bless dear old Ireland.

the brink of a renewal. but they
do not hold rebellion. against Eng
land as a crime any more than or

were guilty of crime dn fighting for
the South. 1t is nothing unusual
for a court in Ireland to find no
one to try when the session opens.
This writer, in 1872, heard the his
torian Froude say he had lived
twenty years in what was called
the worst part of Ireland; he was
known to be an Englishman: he
was familiar with all Ireland. and
he did not believe there was dis

PRIESTS NEEDED ABROAD.

The war in Europe has left the
Catholic church in France, Italy
and Ireland without a sufficient
number of candidates to train for
the priesthood. The drain upon
the young men of these countries
has been so great that priests in
New York have been asked to con-
fer with the youth of their congre-
cations in the hope that some of
them may be willing to take orders
and fill the, demand. 1t is said
that the number of priests absent
with the armies and the number of
deaths have so depleted the clergy
that many churches in Europe have
had TO be closed.

Any constitutional exercise
which improves the circulation and
makes the body resistant helps to
protect one from catarrh. This Is
particularly true of all breathing
exercises because the effects are
beneficial locally as we'll as con-
stitutionally, says one of the best

New York. SO let us teach our
children the value OF correct and
deep breathing. and in doing so we
improve our own health and thereby

The analogy between the working

it's title. He traced the steps which
ted to Harvey's great discovery of the
secret of circulation, and by the help
of ingenious models he showed how
the blood flowed through the stomach,
the liver, and the heart, and went to
the nourishing of the limbs. Laying
bare the heart of "Jack the Giant
killer"-a model, he explained the
marvellous self-regulating mechanism
by which it supplies the muscular en-
gines of the body with combustion"
mixture and the rest of the tissues
with sustenance. Fabricus, Harvey's
teacher, had discovered what were
called the pockets" in the veins
through which he supposed the blood
passed towards the heart. Harvey's
achievement lay in proving that the
pockets opened and closed on the valve
principle. Harvey was Sherlock

MATERIAL FOR MAKING EGGS
Grit, Charcoal and Crushed Oyster or
Clam Shells Are Three Big Es-
sentiaIs for Hens.

A poultry breeder wonders why hens
lay soft-shelled eggs. SIS it because
they are all pullets or is it lack Of
something in their feed? They have
grits before them all the time, so it
cannot come from that"
The cause of soft-shelled eggs Is q
lack of lime in the feed. Unless hens
have a very wide range they must be
supplied with crushed oyster shells or
clam shells to provide material for
making shells. Even the flock on
range must in winter have these
shells provided. Grits do not answer
the purpose for providing lime for
making egg shells. The grits are for
the use of the hen in grinding her
feed.
q; There are three things very essen
tial in the poultry house, They are ::
,Grits (small stones), charcoal and
crushed oyster or clam shells. Many
poultry keepers preserve the shells
from eggs used during the summer
and these are Drowned and. crushed
for winter use. Twenty-Five cents
worth of crushed oyster or clam shells
will last an average-sized flock fol-
many weeks. Watch the laying hens
and note how often they visit the hop.
per containing these crushed shells. .,

Historic Yale Building.

An item in the New Haven Register
opens an interesting field Of research
to Yale men who are proud of the his
tory of their college, inasmuch as 1t
indicates that one Of the buildings is
undoubtedly the oldest structure in
North America. Itappears that fire
was discovered in Connecticut hall one
day and was extinguished without
much difficulty. In telling Of it, the
Register concludes its remarks as fol-
lows: Connecticut hall is the oldest
building owned by the university. 1t
was erected in 1850, and taken over
by the college when that institution
was founded here. One can imagine
with what emotions Davenport, Eaton,
ct al. must have gazed upon that struc-
ture, then almost century old, when
they landed on the shores Of the new
world"

BABIES MURDERED IN CHINA
One Mother Laughingly Admitted She
Had disposed Of" Seven of Her
Nine Daughters.

A Chinese mother told me the other
day that she had disposed of seven of
her own daughters. She told 1t with
q laugh! She had borne nine; had
given away two, and had drowned the
other seven in the slop bucket.
When I tried to find some appeal to
conscience-to a sense Of wrong-lt
simply was not there. And the pas
tors wife, who was with me at the
time. when asked her what these peo-
Pile do regard a sin, said, "Why, moth
ing! They do not think anything is
wrong! If they carry the idols round
twice year they may do as they like"
Invent home with this murderess ana
found her sweet, young daughter-in-
law, who has studied little In our
schools, very sad and heartbroken be-
cause her two little daughters had been
killed at birth or thrown away by their
father. OF course, the mother-in-law
had also insisted upon this. Her one
son had been killed when five days old
by the malpractice Of the midwife, who
had taken him in hand when some
baby ailment developed, and burned his
head, hands and breast with live Goals.
So the poor little mother was left
childleSS.
'My little baby girls cling to my
heart night and day." she cried. II

loved them just as I loved the boy, all
the time they were with me before they
were born. I wanted them so! But

Great Thoughts in Prison.

Prison literature has many fine pro-
auctions to it's credit in prose as we'll
as poetry, says the London Chronicle.
In his prison at Athens, Socrates COM
pleted his great argument for immor-
tally; in Roman dungeon Calico
made some Of his greatest discoveries
In his prison in the Wartburg castle
Luther translated the New Testament
into the German language. During his
IL years in Bedford Jail Bunyan
dreamed his immortal dream of the
"Pilgrim's Progress" Sir Walter
Raleigh wrote his fragmentary history
of the world to beguile the long years
of his Imprisonment in the Tower Of
London. Much of the New Testament
also is prison literature. Some of the
finest of the epistles of st. Paul were
written during his Imprisonment at
Rome, and the book Of the Revelation
of st. John was written while he was
an exile in the island prison of Pat
mos.
