AN AUTUMN EVENING.

.a (By Nina)
Giant sunhowers are bowling,
To the cosmos over the way;
Distant cattle are lowing
The ivy in brightest array.
There's a rustic in, the trees,
Where the bluebirds used to dwell
And a little fall of leaves
Reveal the nest they hid SO we'll.
Sweet peas with blushing faces,
Are creeping over the wall,
And in most secluded places,
Are hid sweet ,violets small.
To his mate in the meadow,
A seagull softly calls,
Then silence-the sum sinks low,
/ And darkness gently falls.

SURE THAT ANIMALS DREAM.

Aristotle,sa history of animals de
clares that horses, oxen, sheep, goats
dogs and all .yiviparous quadrupeds
dream. Pliny, in his natural history
specifies the same animals. Button
describes the dreams of animals. Mac
nish calls attention to the fact that
horses neigh and rear in their sleep,
and affirms that cows and sheep, es-
pecially at the period of rearing their
young, dream.
Darwin, in the Descent Of Man.
says that dogs, cats, horses and
probably all the higher animals, even
birds. as is stated on good authority,
have vivid dreams. and this is shown
by their movements and voice

(By N. C. w. C. Seryice)

The sudden and violent political
changes which have swept over

In some measure served to distract
national leaders from what is prob
ably the most serious problem the
continent has to consider, that OF the

statistics present an alarming picture:
In 1851-1S60 thereawere in Germany
35 to 81 births per 1000. ].
From 1871-1S75 the numbers rose to
Al births per 1000.
In 1887 the birthrate decreased to
37.6 per 1000.
In 1SSO-1S9o it decreased to 1858 per
1000.
From 1890 to 1900 there was a still

JOHN RUskiN's TRiBUTE TO THE
IRISH PEoPLE.e


In letter written to a London
paper, a few years before his death,
the late John Ruskin said
In your recent articles. on the
Irish question you have taken no
notice of certain peculiarities of the
Irish race which, imagine, you know
as well as | do, and yet. by unlucky
chance, you hitherto. ignore them.
Would it not be well to take some
account of the following ineradicable
virtues of theirs in our schemes for
their management?
First, they are an artistic people,
and can design beautiful things, and
execute them with indefatigable In
dustry
Secondly, they are a witty people,
and can by no means be governed
by a-~witless one. Z
Thirdly, they are an affectionate
people and can by no means be gov
erned on scientific principles by
heartless persons ,s
The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1920-11-13

In Austria IN the. same period THE
decrease was "a; Switzerland, s;
England 4.8; Netherlands, AZ; Scot
land, A; Sweden. 3.9; France 80; Dem
mark, 81; Spain, 2.3; Hungary, Is;
italy, 0.8.
The lowest birthrate tabulated was
that in a police district Of Berlin,
which showed figures Of 1884 per 1000
In 1913. IN
It IL notable that in Catholic prov.
inces and states the decrease is
much less than in Protestant parts Of
the Republic. Protestant statisticians
declare that the Catholic institution
of Confession exerts q favorable in
fluence on the birthrate. Furthermore,
the entire Catholic viewpoint Of life,
which looks upon this world merely
as a preparation for the hereafter,
and which has it's basis in a firm re-
lance in future state, furnishes an
unusually strong protection against
the vices in smaterialism.
These ominous facts. of the down
ward curve in the German birthrate
have been well established in a recent
book by Herr FHssbender, a Catholic
member of the Reichstag, called 'The
Determination Of the German People
to Live" (Horder. Fribourg).
This book does not restrict itself to
the question of how to increase the
birth rate, but forms compendium OF
most Invaluable informal on life
statistics. Catholics of Germany have
been pleased to call it the most com.
prehensive national and popular work
on vital statistics from an economic,
social and moral. viewpoint that has
appeared in Germany.
Two prominent non-Catholic author
tiles on the subject have praised the
book highly. Councillor Seeberg OF
Berlin University, we'll known evan
gelistic theologian, declares in his
work 1.-THE Reformation" that it is
the best work on such statistics that
Germany possesses, and DR.. Christians
does not hesitate to say, in a periodi
cal of the Central Institute for Ma
tional Welfare, that the work of Fass
bender is not only to be considered as
a sign of the times, but must be wei
coined as a portent of new era
Many German bishops have recon-
mended Herr Fassbender's work, not
only for parish libraries, but as an ex
cellent treatise to be used in priests
conferences.

CHILD WHO CAUSED A WAR.

The discovery that Mary Winches-
ter, who when only six years of age,
was the cause of the Lushais war, is
still alive, has aroused the greatest
interest.
She was abducted by the natives of
northern Assam, and when the fight
ing was over it was found that the
chiefs of the Lushais had almost del
fed her, and they pleaded with the
British officers to be allowed to keep
her to become the head of the tribe.
Mary's father was native of Elgin,
and belonged to one of the leading
county families in Morayshire. When
the story of the Lushai outrage reach
ed Elgin it caused great CONSERVATION,
and the M. P. for Moray and Marin
raised the matter in the house of com.
mons and took it further-even to
Queen Victoria herself. So it came
about that the punitive force was sent
against the Lushais. On receipt of
the news that Mary Winchester had
been rescued and was alive and well,
Elgin gave itself up to a riot of re.
joicing, and later still, on her arrival
at her grandparents home, the whole
town made holiday to welcome her.
Prior to travelling north Mary had
the honor of being received by Queen
Victoria. The little maid, despite the
fact that she; had changed her native
dress for European attire, was then
and for some considerable time after
ward of a dark almond color wher-
ever her skin had been exposed to the
tropical sun Of Assam.

AIGIERS BOYS BEAT
Up CITY CHAPS.
Seven Algiers Boys Beat Up Two City
Chaps at Ferry.

1t has been reported to The Her
aid that a very disgraceful fight
took place Sunday evening at the
head of the ferry landing when six
or seven Algiers boys badly beat up
two city chaps who were on their
way to call on some young ladies in
our town. One of the boys, who
was beaten, was very very small, his
glasses were taken from his face and
after he was severely beaten up his
glasses were handed back to him,
and they were run back on the ferry.
Surely this kind of conduct should
not be tolerated in these days. We
thought the Algiers boys had long
passed this state. There was a time,
years gone by, when the boys over
here pointed with pride as to how
they used to beat up the city boys,
and compelled them to go back to
town again, but these same men,
who were boys then, are today not
very proud of their actions. We are
sorry that these young men should
forget themselves or forget their
home training. To say the least it
is a cowardly act for a crowd to beat
a couple of defenseless boys.

Sunshine" the musical comedy by
Alexander tombstone and VIM. Ca

success even before Mr. earle joined.
1t was first presented over a year
ago in Baltimore, Md, and received
the unanimous praise of public and
press. 1t was then seen in Wash
ington, ID. c., Pittsburg, Pa, and
taken to Chicago for an extended
engagement. In the cast at that
time were no stars but an excep-
tionally clever selection of Broad
way players, though unknown away
from New York. The Chicago press
was unusually enthusiastic about
the company and production, but
the cast did not seem to have the
proper box office value. Sunshine"

in society here, although a very
quiet affair. was the wedding Friday
evening at 7:15 o'clock of Miss May
bart Frost Morrison and Mr. Richard
Nichols, which was celebrated at
Trinity church with only near rela-

among the guests. Rev. DR.. Robert

officiated at the ceremony.
The wedding was at first dated for
March 6, bu towing to recent mourn
ing in the brides family, the original
plans were changed and the event
was very quiet. The bride was given
away by her father, Mr.. Edward S.
Morrison, Of Brunswick plantation,
near New Roads, La, who arrived
for the wedding. She was very
handsome in a chic travelling suit
with hat to match and carried a
cluster of bride roses and lilies of
the valley. There were no attend
ants.
The bride made her home in New

aunt, the late Mrs. George Hobart

The Wonders Of America
By T. T. MAxEY
THE WHITE HOUSE.


THE home Of the president Of the
United States, generally known as
the White House, first became known
as such when 1t was painted white to
cover the marks Of fire after being
partially burned by the British In 1914.
The foundation of this world-famous
structure was put down In October,
1892. 1t was the first building erected
In Washington. The site was picked
by President George Washington, who
also laid the corner stone.
The building was first occupied by
President John Adams, during the
summer Of 1900. 1t is two stories and
basement, and contains 81 rooms. 1t
Is surrounded by spacious lawn and
gardens, which are inclosed by a huge
iron fence. Whether viewed through
the heavy foliage Of the giant trees
or across winters mantle of snow, II
always looks restful and dignified.
The White House naturally has been
the scene of many tragedies and come
dies, much JOY, and also has had Its
share of anxiety and grief. 1t holds
a peculiar interest for the people Of
all nations, those Of the United States
In particular. It is a point of pill
grimage for thousands and thousands
Of people annually, who come to ad-
mire its decorations and paintings,
study the relics of past occupants and,
If opportunity offers, grasp the hand
Of the first citizen of the land. To a
greater degree perhaps than any other
building in the world, people of all
ages and ranks have mingled under its
