DENOUNCEs MURDER.

Dublin, Nov. 28.-CardinaI Logue,
the primate of Ireland. in pastoral
letter read today in all the churches
of. the Archdiocese denounces the
murders, in ireland and declares that
If, a. balance were struck between last
Sundays. assassinations Of officers and
the shooting by the police in Croke
Park. he believes it should be given
against the. forces of the crown"
Th, cardinals letter, scathingly ar
raigns the, methods the government
is. pursuing. but warns the people
against any association, secret or
open, which would lead them into
any disorders or crime
The. cardinal in a.. letter says the
ardent hopes. Of the Irish people for
peace are, shared by European and
other countries. In. support Of this
he cites a, letter from the archbishop
OF Malines and all the bishops in
Belgium conveying, their. cordial sym
pathy to the Irish people. The pas
toral, proceeds to condemn in the
strongest terms Sundays tragedies.
declaring belief that every man and
woman in Ireland deplored and, de-
tested. these "cold, blooded murders"
which the cardinal says mo object
could excuse and, no motive justify"
and adding: -. ~
"The perpetrators Of such crimes
are not real patriots but enemies Of
their countries"

The tomato awas not appreciated by

they did not dream of eating the fruit,

once told, me of. her nrst experience
'with tomatoes :, It was when she was

It was early In, the sixteenth century
That the tomato was introduced into
Europe. II, came BY way of, Morocco
and for that reason Was called by the

Each time you are caught out In the

example of preparedness furnished by
a fiower OF the mountain. the hare-
bell. Il, dshes the. cold blast on the

guarding against It than do some hu-
mans Every Scotchmnn knows and

When the flower. buds. appear on the
slender stalks they stand up erect like
drum, majors. But Il the blossoms
were to open In the same, position they
would become. tiny cisterns to catch
the rain drops. Thus the flower would
expose itself to death by drowning.
No such fate awaits the little blue
beauties, however, When the petals
open the blossom droops Its head. not
from a feeling Of modesty. but to avoid
the rain.
