fastened to prevent the disaster, it
is likely she would have stayed on.
Unluckily the stage had no interested
rulers, no guides, no directors, except
a few like Augustine Daily, who we're
responsible for nothing but their own
interests. So Mary Anderson depart
ed to her pleasant life in England, and
Augustine DAILY died in his conflict
with commercialism, and the stage
passed into its present frowsy condi-
ton, like a cheese warehouse full Of
profit and strange smells and strange
characters. II one looks around one
will see the tragedy repeating itself
regularly, the world cheating us out
of our best and worthiest, because we
cannot or will not use them. It Is a
consolation and q hope. however, to
see how Mary Anderson has carried
her power and her loneliness Of char
acter into another generation, In spite
of our dereliction and the general flu
tility of life. 1t is possible some noble
American enterprise might win hel
home for few years, if only that We
might lavish upon her a little return
for the honor her name has brought
to her country and her people.

HOW WE SPEND THE TIME.

A man with a taste for figures has
been apportioning the life of a man
who lives 70 years. He finds of that
time man spends nearly Is years in
bed, nearly IL years each in work and
play. nearly 6 years in eating and
drinking, 6 years in walking about,
nearly 3 years in dressing, year in
reflection, in gossip, and an equal
amount of time is wasted. There is
about one hour day which is wasted
or given over to odds and ends of
small duties. The mere act of put
ting on ones shoes is not considered
worth mentioning, yet in his lifetime a
man of 70 years spends 1--we minutes a
day, 30 hours year, or more than IL
weeks of a lifetime! Who would want
seriously to sit down and do nothing
every minute for three months but put
on and take of shoes? Until one
analyses his day he will have no idea
OF the time spent in locomotion In get
ting from one place to another. Two
hours a day is conservative estimate
of the time spent this way. If per
son spends but an hour each day on
his toilet, in 70 years he will have de.
voted three years to this duty; and as
for women. one hour is entirely too
short a time to allow them; three 10
nearer right.

Gentlemen, in spite of present ap.

our sister isle; day of political free

ing intellectual development. 1t is to
the new Ireland that our eyes are turn
ed in hope, for whom the Irish prob,
lem is solved, then the problem Of CO.
operation among English-speaking
Catholics will'be solved with it to the
enormous advantage both of the
church and of human society. For
the world of English thought and
speech is waiting for it's soul. Even
moulded in material clay, it is thing
of beauty, with its fine natural Or
ganism, it's love of democratic govern
ment, it's sense of jastice and honor,
its loathing for falsehood, double deal
ing, selfish ambition and all the other
vices of the superman. Let the spirit
of God be breathed upon it, let it but
be quickened by the touch of the SUI
pernatural, then shall we see mar
velous creation, and the face of the
earth will be renewed"

burned. A quarantine of stx veal.
was prescribed and enforced ON an
inmates of dwellings thus afflicted,
and the quarantine was not lifted for
SIX weeks and not before the housa
had been fumigated. The preuar,.
ton to be used for this purpose had
to be purchased from the public
apothecaries.
In the latter city public buri,ls
and marriages we're forbidden durinr
the epidemic, and even religious pro.
cessions were placed under the ban.
Thus q procession planned by the
pastor Of the Cathedral of the CITY
and the usual Pentecostal procession
were published. An exception seem.
to have been made in regard to two
meetings only, one being the occasion
of solemn VOW of the citizens, and
the other the laying of the corner
stone of the chapel of st. Sebastian.
From all of this it may readily bo
seen that certain effective measures
of precaution and cure during cpl.
denies were well known and prac.
ticed by people in Catholic cities and
countries at an early age. To pretend
that the knowledge of these means "a
altogether modern or that formerly
people submitted passively with q sort
of religious fatalism to such vista,
lions is unjust and unscientifc.

mize contagion. When the plague in
vaded Milan in 1876, serious efforts
were made to isolate those affected
with the disease. Before each of the
six gates a separate village was built,
consisting of hundreds of small wood
en- houses, and here the sick, the sus-
poets and the convalescents were
cared for. Moreover, these three
groups were carefully separated, and
strict separation of the sexes was OBJ
served also. In the midst of each
village stood crucifix and an altar,
at which Mass was celebrated daily
Each Of these towns had its own ad-
ministration, which executed the reg
ulations with just rigor. 1t seems
also that, as early as the 18th cen.
fury, efforts were made in italian cit
les to combat contagious disease by
isolation, inasmuch as we read that
the stricken were cared for in the
market places, where they were
uursed especially by the Franciscans.
The assumption Of obligatory notif1-
cation of cases of eontagion and CO.
ercion in isolating all cases in the
market place seems not altogether un.
warranted.
Distinction and similar measures
seem also to have been rigidly en-
forced in such critical times. We
know that in the Duchy Of Franco
mia, in the 18th century, when news
had comessof the prevalence of the
the plague in Marseilles, strict precau-
tions were ordered taken. A rigorous
embargo was placed on the shipment
into the country of worn clothing, rags
and hair, as possible carriers of con-
tagion. When the pestilence ap-
preached closer to the borders, more
rigorous measures were employed
Only such travellers and goods were
admitted as came from sections
known to be free from the disease.
Guards were placed on all the roads
leading to the borders, and entrance
through other than the regular ave-
nues was penalized. Travellers were
obliged under oath to state whether
or not they had passed through in
fected districts. It was furthermore
provided that any village or hamlet
stricken by the scourge was to be iso-
lated, after physician and priest
had been assigned to duty within its
walls.
Fires, built in public places, were
used in some countries at an early
date to combat epidemics. Aromatic
herbs were burnt in small fires in the
houses; deodorants, including special
ly prepared fumigating candles or
pastils, were used, and vinegar was
utilized as sterilizer. Its value Is
still appreciated, though it cannot
compare with our modern disinfect-
ants. In the Episcopal city of May
ence, during the epidemic of 1867
1868, the bed-straw used in houses
visited by the. plague was ordered
The Irish standard., 1918-11-16

Common usage has It that, when
ever an epidemic like the present one
visits city, district or a country,
and when a board of health or sim.
liar arm of the Government issues
measures for the prevention and COM
batting of the particular disease, some
newspaper scribe or public official will
issue statement something like this:
with the wonderful accomplishments
of modern science, and with q public
vastly superior, intellectually, to the
people of former ages, we are con-
WINGED of our ability to gain control
of the disease within comparatively
short time. We recommend the pro.
hibition of gatherings Of all kinds, be-.
cause Of the danger of communication
of the disease, which is greatest where
crowds are present. We are confident
that the public will observe the ne
cessary rulings, will avoid gathering
in crowds, will apply the best-known
methods Of prevention and cure and
will stay at home as far as possible;
we are far beyond the standards of
those days when the people, startled
by the havoc of an unknown disease,
neglected the rudimentary demands Of
hygiene, and focked to the churches
or paraded the streets, f1ogging them
selves, burning candles and crying:
From the pestilence deliver us, o
Lord'!"
We are not quoting from the docu-
ment of any health official, but SIM
liar statements have been made In
writing and on the platform; and the
Catholic cities and countries of former
times are the target of the insinuation
of ignorance and alleged improper be-
havior during the frightful visitation
of an epidemic. And yet these allega-
lions are far from being correct. A
noted Austrian diplomat, who travelled
from Italy to Spain in 1919, relates
that on this journey some of. the trav-
elers decided to land at the Island of,
Majorca. Having come from Naples,
which was suspected of being infected
with cholera, they were estopped FROM
entering the harbor town. They were,
however, permitted to land at the end
of the quay, and there to move about
up to line marked off by stout
rope. Here they could point from afar
with sticks to the goods of the mer-
chants and pedlars located there, and
thus designate the objects they desired
to purchase. Under the rope barrier
stood a vessel, containing vinegar, into
which the coins spent payment were
to be placed. Thereupon the goods
purchased were pushed across the bar.

At SET OF THE SUN.

AT SET OF THE SUN.
At the set of the sun,
When our work is done, H.
With all its tangled web; 49,
When the clouds drift low,
And the stream runs slow,
And life is at its ebb. -
AS we near the goal,
When the golden bowl
Shall lie broken at its fount;
With what sweet thought
Shall the hour be fraught,
What precious most shall we countI
Not the flame Of the sword,
Nor the wealth we have stored ,,
In perishable things Of the earth 1;
Not the way we have trod
With the intellect broad,
Though that were of precious worth.
Nor the gain we achieved
Through the hearts we have grieyed,
And left unhelped by the way;
Nor the laurel of fame,
When, for worldly acclaim,
We toiled in the heat of.the fray.
All, no! tits not these
Will give our hearts ease
When life sinks low in the west;
But the passing sweet thought
Of the good we have wrought,
The saddened lives we have blest.
And the love we have won,
And the love beckons on
From His islands far and dim:
Love out Of the light,
Shining into the night,
The night which leadeth to Him.

WEAK ATTACKS BY WEEKS.

Tulsa Times: Senator Weeks de-
layed too long with his attack on
the president and Secretary Baker.
The country has passed the stage
where it will listen interestingly to
anything that is said about the i'll
efficiency OF one or the alleged mis-
takes OF the other. Americans are
pretty well satisfied with the prcsi-
dent ;rd with Secretary Bal cr as
well. Anything Senator Weeks may
say Will not change their opinions.
Having stopped to discusse the
war department and to investigate
1t as well, congress seems unable to
get under way again. 1t does seem
that the investigation of the war de-
partmcnt should have been cOnclud-
ed and that report OF the commit
tee should have been made before
the members of the senate military
committee began denouncing it.
They could not wait, however. No
sooner had the investigation started
than they began to make findings
OF their own. Senator Chamber
lain was the greatest offender, for
he went outside the senate to make
charges based upon the findings OF
the committee long before the in
yestigation had closed.
What would be thought of Il
judge who announced what his de
cislon was going to be, soon after
the opening OF trial, and who went
out to make public speeches about
ii? That is precisely what Senator
Chamberlain and other members OF
the senate military committee have
been doing.
1t is unfortunate for Senator
W Weeks, too, that the others had left
nothing unsaid about war condi-
tiOnS and he was forced to eXag-
gerate. Had there been any founda.
ton Tor truth in his statement that
the country is without ships, with
out guns and ammunition it would
arouse the country as nothing else
in years had done. 1t is not true.
however. War preparations are 60
ing on as fast as they can be rushed
and the people of the United States
know that this is being done. There.
fore they are calm when Chamber
lain speaks and denounces, and
when Weeks follows him and SAYS
the same things, adding an cxag-
geration here and there.
