From Bev. Fr. West.
Editor News -Record
DEAR SIR,—As it is your desire that
these letters on r eligious subjects should
be discontinued in your paper after this
month, this letter will probably con-
clude what 1 have now to say. You
will please accept my sincere thanks
for the space you have given me. It
has been insinuated more than once
that 1 wrote or assisted to write the
Ietters which bore the signature of
"Catholic." This is untrue. It would
be unjust for me to claim the credit
which is due to the writer of there, In
my letter I have quoted largely Pro-
testant authorities, as these should not
reasonably be rejected by non-Catho-
lics. It is not in keeping with the
truth to say that the Catholc Church
retards intellectual progress. Catho-
licsnow, as in the past, hold a promin-
ent place, and, in some instances, the
foremost in every branch of knowledge.
They are at least, the equals of non-
Catholics. They do not take the rank
of inferiority. Their religion, too,
which was so much despised in Eng-
land and America, has become popular,
and is copied, at least as to ceremonies,
by many non-Catholics.
Dean Farrar has publicly stated,
says the Free Church Monthly, that
seven thousand of the English clergy
are avowed supporters of the Rome -
ward movement. How that move-
ment proceeds is being illustrated, for
instance, at St. Pancras, where the
confessional is being opeuly used : at
Stratford -on -Avon, where a commun-
icant was refused the cup because de-
clining to receive the bread in the
form of a wafer ; and at the opening of
re mission chapel in Landport, under the
shadow of Winchester College. The
ceremonial in conuection with the
opening of this chapel was a very elab-
orate one. A procession was formed,
of which the following is a description:
First carnets th urifer swinging the cen-
ser, frotn which was emitted the frag-
rant odor of incense. Besides him was
an acolyte carrying the crucible. Both
were attired in red cassocks, with
shoes, stockings, and skullcaps to
notch ; and above the cassocks was
worn a white surplice or robe. Other
acolytes, similarly dressed, came next
Some bore aloft long white candles,
and another the cross. Following came
thechoir, the clergy and other acolytes
with an upraised crucifix, and a censer
with incense. Immediately behind the
choir came the bishop, and on each side
of him walked two clergymen. Most
of the clergymen wore birettas. The
eompany of clergymen was brought
up by 'Father' Dolling in gorgeous
cope and alb; and then a large number
of worshippers, walking four abreast,
completed the pageant.'
In connection with this it may he
said that many churches surpass the
Catholic Church in grandeur of cere-
monial. The following is an authentic
statement of the comparison et Catho-
lic and Protestant countries in regard
to education. "The reder," says Young
p. 373, "]oust not jump at the conclu-
sion that because only 47 out of one
thousand of the population are enrolled
in the Mexican primary schools, that
the remaining 9o3 are all illiterate, or,
as he may hear franl some reviler of
Mexico, the percentage of Mexican illit-
eracy is 93.3 per cent. What would we
think of the honesty of a lecturer who
would calculate the illiteracy of the
United States in that way, and assert
that only 233 persons out of 1,(XX) in the
United States can read and write, and
that our illiteracy is 76.7 per cent ?
Anterior to the religious revolt Protes-
tantism says the same authority, page
328, Roman Catholic nations, always
with the approval and encouragement
of popes, had founded, MS we see, 72
[Universities in Europe. The number
generally claimed is 66 Among these
universities founded by Catholics be-
fore Reformation we find the names of
most of those which have attained the
greatest renown several of which are
now in the hand of Protestants, as are
also so many hundreds of the great
architectural monuments of religion,
the fruits of the wonderful genius of
Catholic architects and the sacrifices
of the Catholic people. In Catholic
times those now Protestanized univer-
sities had their thousands of students;
nowadays more than one thousand is
se number to boast of. And the same
la true of the comparative number of
worshippers in the Protestantized
-churches and Cathedrals.

As a well known fact statistics of
illiteracy are, as a rule, both too
meagre and uncertain, as acknowledged
by statisticians themselves, to fora)
the basis of a just comparison, to say
nothing of the fact that official statis-
tics of illiteracy for all the countries
one cares to investigate are not given.
What unofficial statistics may be found
are, for the most part, mere guess-
work, being nothing better than
general estimates founded upon ob-
servation of particular classes of per-
sons, such as army conscripts and
married couples unable or too bashful
to sign their names in a register.
The following comparative table is
taken from "The Dictionary of Statis-
tics by Michael G. Mulhall, Fellow of
the Royal Statistical Society, Etc.,"
one of the best authorities known
(edition of 1892, article "Education,"
pp. 231 to 243.
I have joined with this table, for my
readers satisfaction as to the religious
side of the question, the respective
number of Catholics and Protestants
in these countries. These figures are
also taken from the same book, article
"Religion" (pp. 512, 513). I have also
placed together in comparative view
the countries in which either religion
is dominant, and the countries where
the population is about equally divided,
or where at least one-third is Catholic.

In my last week's letter I produced a
letter from the Honorable W. E. Glad-
stone wherein he states that the Ameri-
can Patriot was untruthful in a state-
ment it made adverse to the Catholic
Church. I have confined myself al-
most exclusively to Protestant, author-
ities for the remarks I have made.
Many non-Catholics read in news-
papers and hooks untruthful and most
absurd stories about the Catholic
church, and yet these sauce persons
never think of readin what Catholics
have to say for themselyes. flow
many, for instance, have read Matrix
Monk, but how few if any have read
Maria Monk's Daughter. "When an
English Judge tells us, as Mr. Justice
Willis did the other day, that there
were an number of parents who
would kill their children for a few
Founds of insurance money, we can
form some idea of the horror's of the
existence into which many Of the
children of this highly favored land
(England) are ushered at their birth."

The sixth annual report of Sir George
Graham, the Registrar General, p. 38,
says : "If the mortality were not
greater among the illegitimate than
among the legitnlate children, every
fifteenth person in England crust he of
illegitimate extraction. In Glasgow
for three years (1873-75) the deaths of
legitmale were 1.49 to 154 per 10(11); of
illegitimate, between 277 to 293."

mortality cf illegitimate children was
double that of legitimate in(Protestant)

It will he noticed by those who have
studied the testimonials for this won-

thoroughly unsectional in character.
Every province in the Domiu-on
through its members of parliament,
andnlostprominentcitizens, has told of
the peculiar effectiveness of Dr. Ag-
new's Catarrhal Powder. It is of a
character that overcomes any local or
climatic conditions, and as with Mr.
Carroll, it is a most effective remedy
for catarrhal, troubles in whatever
shape, not omitting hay fever, where
it works like a charm, and in every
case is speedy in effect.

Mrs, Harris, of Sarnia, daughter of
,Tames Kinnisten, of Parkhill, had a
narrow escape from death by asphyxi-
ation the other night. The door of
the coal stove had been left partly open
before retiring, which allowed the gas
to escape. Her nephew, little Keith
Macleod, of Parkhill, who was visiting
her, was sleeping with her and awaken-

not fully recover from the effects of
the gas for some time. The boy was
also affected.

hargs a long iron loop lnclosing the
beam. This loop should be wide enough
below and extend downward far enough
that the carriage may pass to the
pulley at f. From the loop hangs a
chain about 18 inches in length.
Through the post a an opening Is cut

rest a few feet from the ground. A
hanger (h) 1s provided for each car-
riage. In this a different length of
stick may be used as a "spreader,"
thus adapting It to larger or smaller
animals.
In working this device all the car-
riages to be used are transferred to

the hanger is placed in one of the links
of the chain suspended from the car-
riage. The rope is now 'withdrawn from
the pulley at f and hung upon the car-
riage, and by the continued use of the
windlass the hanging animal is borne
away to the left. The second carriage
is now brought to the left of the pul-
ley, the rope rearranged and the same
operation repeated for the second ani-
mal. As it Is Important that the upper

HIGH-PRICED BACON.
Selection of the Heat Brceds and Feeds
for This Purpose
There are two all-important matters
connected with the bacon trade which
are entirely In the hands of the farm-
( is, and which ought to i f' . ive every
attention, viz., the bre, ding and feed-
ing of pigs, says an exchange.
Uo not change the breed of the
loeLIlty, but take oare to the selection
and Introduction from other districts
of high-class male animals to develop
the points essentlal In good pigs. Speak -
Ing generally, short, du.rnpy bears and
sows ought to be avoided, as It will
be found that extra length of body not
only adds much to the weight of the
carcass, but insures a larger prnpor-
tlor of lean meat to the gross weight.
In practice it will be found that a
well -shaped pig can he reared, fel)
and brought in a shorter space of time
to a greater weight upon a similar
amount of ood than a mongrel -bred
cne, while the bacon and hams cut
firm the carcass of a well-bred pig
are superior In quality and command
a higher price In the market.
The following foods are suitable for
Producing good bacon Potatoes
((coked), milk, barley meal, oatmeal
and crushed eats, pollard bran, wheat
(ground), rye meal, Indian corn (used
Hprringly), ground and cooked.
It is said that one of the principal
reasons why Danish bacon has taken
euch a hold on the EnglIah market,
and has been so profitable to the
farmers In Denmark, is the fact that
tl:cy have fed their pigs largely on
separated milk. Although seemingly
an expensive food, the use of milk has
been found to add to the flavor of the
m. at and also to prevent waste in
ecoking.

feeling. Hood's Sarsaparilla purifies
enriches and vitalizes the blood and
gives vigor and vitality.

rraehtvea ors Farmers
Most farmers would have better suc-
cuss with bees 1f they used only tote
old straw or box hives. Beekeeping
with the movable frame hives is an
art which few care to learn; the straw
hive Is a simple tool which anyone can
use. Before the bee -moth became prev-
alent, nearly every farmer kept been
in this simple way. The Introduction of
the Italian bee has done away with
this trouble, With the old-fashioned
Myers, women and children can do most
of the work, and beekeeping, like poul-
try raising, can be their special prov-
ince and profit, Aside from learning
to hive new swarms, little knowledge le
needed.--Ccuntry Gentleman.

Advertising Axioms.
]3y J. W ALKERTHOIIIPSON, of New York
"Virtue increases under a weight
burden" and results increase With a
comprehensive expenditure of money
in good advertising mediums,
"Better late: than never." The gold-
en opportunity is still open to him who
would enrich himself byudicious ad-
vertising. None other will pay.
"Mind rooves matter." Therefore
exercise your mired to advertise so as to
stir the gray matter of the brains of
the people and affect their pocket-
book.
Good goods will sell to good people
constantly. Poor goods only once.
Don't let people say, "After having
praised their wine they sell us vinegar.'
"There is . no lock but a golden key
will open it,"except thatt of the peoples
pocket book. First class ads will do
this with golden results. Whenpe
think they want a thing they do
i1 and they pet it.
To be prominent anywhere one must
have marked characteristics. So it is
with an advertisement in the crowded
columns of newspapers and magazines;
in order to produce the best result it
must he clear, definite, conspicious and
fresh. Ix flours of this charaster.
SIR OLIVER MOW AT AFFLICTED
WITH KIDNEY TROUBLE.
he news has been flashed across the
wires from the old country that Sir
Oliver Mowat, who is there seeking
medical advice, is a victim of kidney
disease. His friends say that the case
is not as alarming as the press reports
have stated. But there seems to he no
disguising the fact, that with Ontario's
Premier, as thousands of others, kid•
ney disease has seized the system. It
is laying waste the lives of our hest
people In all parts of the Dominion.
And yet those who have learned to use
South American Kidney Cure are find-
ing in il, a remedy far surpassing a sea
voyage or even the skill of England's
greatest physicians. It is a kidney
specific, not a cure-all, but ars a special-
ist, in this particular it gives relief
within six hours after the first dose,
and renewed health to all who use it.

IINREGIHTERED LETTERS. --In a AU

out that the practice is an unwise one.
The cost of register ing a letter is amply
repaid by the additional security afford-
ed, security not only in relation to such
risks as a letter might, incur in course
of post, hilt in relation also to risks
arising after delivery. In the rase of an
unregistered letter delivery can rarely

letter it can always he proved by the
receipt which is taken from the party
addressed. More than one case has oc•
cured lately in which people who
have sent, money in unregistered Ietters
have had reason to regret having done
SO.
MONEY NO OBJECT.
The amount of money sufferers from
catarrh will spend in attempting to
cure that foal and disagreeable disease
is almost incredible. J. W. .Iennings,
of Gifford, Ont., says : "i spent between
$200 and $300 consulting doctors; I
tried all the 'treatments' without bene-
fit. One box of Chase's Catarrh Onre
did me more good than all the reme-
dies. A 25c. box cured roe." Don't
waste money. (".hose's Cure, with im-
