Tin- young mail Sin-cat, who was long afterward canonized as St. Pat rick, vwas Irish raiders and made a slave. His escape and entrance into "the priest hood are facts of historical rognlz ance. His apostolate in Ireland and its fruits are well known, but very little has been written of Succat, who was afterward named Patrick or The Noble, a man of letters. Patrick was. a writer of no great ability, but he was the greatest editor tho world ever knew, if we may judge material he handled and the manner of, its treatment. Unto liim was given the changing of the Brelion code of Irish laws to a form in touch with Christianity, with the understanding that any change ho should make had the sanction be forehand of the lawmaking power. No editor before his time was given such remarkable power nor has any been since. The Brehon code was utterly for eign to the soul of what is called An gio-Saxonism. The spirit of this is penalty of that, compensation. If I kill a man in Great Britain, Ireland or America, I am put lo death, and justice is satisfied. But under the Brehon law my death did not satisfy, for my sons or my tribe must support the widow or the mother or other de pendents of the man slain. Patrick, the Roman citizen, familiar with a system of jurisprudence dif ferent widely from the Oaellc or the Saxon, edited the Brehon laws to make them conform to Christianity. And thus did he banish the snakes from Ireland. There was never a ma terial, de facto snake in the land of Grin, as all naturalists agree, but there were the vices of malice, greed and lust, and these were the reptiles '.hat the holy man put out of Krin. And like unto the shamrock, indigenous Is the heart of every Irishman—vea, even though he trod Through fairest, farthest lands, wlior?

Atiglo-Saxonism has made the snakes of St. Patrick material, and has scoff ed at them heartily. But the poetic fact stands that Patrick's work ban ished the snakes out of Ireland. No other country is probably so free from vice as that to which he was brought a slave, and of which he be came the apostle. He is a strange study—lliis man who was first Succat and later Pat rick. A Roman citizen, he did not at tempt to graft any part of the Roman law u]ion the peculiar system of Irish jurisprudence a Roman scholar, he did not write in I.atin, but in Gaelic, when he produced his "Apologia, or Confession," as it is called, the only book from his pen. The "Confession" is not a fine piece of literature. He knew that. In it he says that he fears and is ashamed be cause of the demerits of the work. He dreads the critics and frankly says so. But the work has the charms of simplicity and veracity. He tells with out ornamentation tho simple story of his life and apostolate. This work, the first Irish autobiog raphy, bears the indubitable stamp of the foreign hand. Its author was clearly no Gael. He made no images to ornament his work. Besides the ornate compositions of the Irish writ ers of his day his "Confession" seems poor and insignificant. But his glory as an editor is un- The Purgatory of St. Patrick According to mediaeval legends, there was an entrance to purgatory in a cave on the island of Lough Dearg (the Red Lake), Ireland. This was widely known as the purgatory of St. Patrick, because it was to that saint that Christ revealed its exist ence, informing him that anyone might go down into it that had the. courage, and it should be from him as if he had pbssed through purgatory after death. The saint is said to have built a monastery about the entrance and to have secured the way with a strong iron gate. The fame of this spot was largely owing to. a poem by Henry of Saltrey, about 1153, which described the ad ventures of a certain Sir Owayne Miles, who took this opportunity of expiating his crimes and saw many wonderful sights in the course of his pilgrimage to the nether world.

Nobody the work he accom- nmlcliei! ami else could do plislied. Patrick, being a bishop, took the rank of "honor-place" of the chief tlruid therefore, the temptation to change the law so as to exempt his class from, the extra severity with which it was threatened, was ever present. What did be do? He wrote into the law a special rule against bishops, the like ol which they had not ordered against tiie chief druid in pagan times. ice if he broke the law, like the king, but lie must also on being found guilty resign his position and become a hermit! So we.find our editor going to the extreme of putting his own priestly class in a most difficult position when the way was open to him to exempt it utterly from the operation of the crim inal law under the authority given iiim. Patrick, the stranger, has the hon or and distinction of having written the first hymn in the Gaelic language. Sedulius, a Gael, had already written hymns, but always in the Latin. Pat rick's was the beginnig of a long line of Christian hymn writers, which ex tends down to the present day. St. Patrick's Wonderful Work. St. Patrick was not the first priest to visit Ireland. Pope Celestine sent Palladius there before Patrick, and so the Irish adage says: "Not to Pal ladius, but to Patrick, did God grant the conversion of Ireland." The story of the life of St. Patrick in Ireland Is as full of the fanciful as that of his early life elsewhere. As he progress ed through the land dogs sent against him turned to stone in the act of hurl ing themselves upon him armed men found themselves paralyzed as they poised their weapons to take his life green wood was made to burn ma gicians, while dry wood would not Ignite to scorch the saint. Divested of these imaginary episodes the story is sufficiently wonderful. Churches were founded, converts flocked to the priests' standards, idolatry and ignor ance disappeared before the march of the saint, and if the snakes were not. actually cast out of Ireland, snakes that had harmed the land for a long time were scotched. The wild princes and their families became Christians.. The common people followed their ex ample, and at the close of St. Patrick's life, said to have been in the year 458, the magicians and the high priests of the idolators had found their occupa tion about gone. An Ideal Missionary. Patrick came near being an ideal missionary. Self-forgetful, he had but one ambition, and that to save the Irish. Obedient and faithful even unto persecution, he could endure hardness as a good "soldier of the cross. Endowed with a practical turn of mind, he could grind corn, bail a boat, doctor the siclc, work a farm, draw plans for buildings,' and super intend their construction. But back of it all lay a noble purpose to trans iigu're men's lives with the beauty of the life of Jesus. Supreme.

It is suggested that it may have furnished Dante with a hint for his great work. Other visits to the cave are record ed at rare intervals. A few of the visitors published accounts of what they had seen and heard, which bore great resemblance to the poems of Henry of Saltrey others confessed that they had seen nothing with their waking eyes, but on falling asleep had been visited with wonderful dreams, "different from those they were accustomed to in their cham bers." At last, in l496, a mpnk from Holland visited the place and report ed to the Pope that It differed in no respects from an ordinary cavern, whereupon the Pope ordered it to be destroyed and the order was carried oyt on St. Patrick's day, 1497. rr^rr,,^j|^ FOR CONSIDERATION BY THE THOUGHTFUL A Tribute to Weathsr Conditions In Western Canada.

The report of Commissioner Gar Held on the beef industry has at last been published. It must be some what of a surprise to thos§. who have been indulging in wholesale adverse criticism upon the methods of the Chicago packers, as it discloses facts and figures which clearly show that the great food producers have been innocent of the serious offenses with which they have been charged. They have been for a long time accused by newspapers all over the country of extortionate prices demanded, and ob tained, of depression of values of ,cat tle at the various stockyards where their business is conducted, of enor mous profits wholly disproportionate to the capital employed, and, in gen eral, of so carrying on their business that the public, under an organized system of spoliation, were being robbed for l.heir exclusive benefit. We find now, however, that not a single one of these charges has been sustained but, "on the contrary, that rigid and searching investigation, of ficially made, has resulted in com plete acquittal. Instead of extortion it is shown that no industry can be found where so narrow a margin of profit prevails— the actual records and original en tries, to which the commissioner had free access, showing that the high est net profit any of the packers made on their sales of beef was two and three-tenths per cent in 1902 and in one instance that the profit realized 1904 was one and eight-tenths per cent. The variations in the market prices for cattle are exhaustively treated and no evidence of any kind was dis covered, or even hinted at, tending to show that values of cattle are in the slightest degree improperly affected or controlled by packers at. any ot the chief centers of the industry. On the whole, the report completely dissipates the prevalent Idea that great fortunes are being amassed by illegal and improper methods en* ployed by western- packers, showing that notwithstanding the high prices for beef prevailing in 1902 the busi ness was less remunerative than in years characterized by normal Values, both for cattle and product.' He says "that the year 1902, instead of being one of exorbitant profits, as has been commonly supposed, was less- profit able than usual: In fact, during' tiia months when the prices of beef were, the highest, some, at least, of' the leading packers were losing money on every h'ead of cattle slaughtered. It was not possible to advance the prices of beef in full proportion to the great advance in the prices of cattle at that tim*." After all that has been written re fleeting -upon the great business In terest engaged in the marketing and distribution of the product of one of the greatest of our national indus tries, it is gratifyirg to all fair minded people that the prejudiced attacks upon it have failed of verification and the gre'at western packers may be congratulated for having'' passed through such a searching and thor ough official Investigation uhsmirched. The results of this investigation, based as it is upon exhaustive data, officially obtained and verified by United States government: expjerts, must be accepted without hesitation, as the investigation.was made under circumstances. that guaranteed- com plete accuracy with a possible dispo sition indeed,' to arrlve at entirely Afferent results *«*5 SrSSBS I^IVIIW^J,^ ipgn^in.i "\ii T^V*^ -*5 now attracting so much attention, the weather was per-' feet.

But Two Men Have Pulled Them Off Unassisted. triple play is one of the rare things in baseball, because Jt^reouircs combination of circumstances which seldom occur. There must Jjo-^t^past two men'on the bases, an^pOi'dne out, £hen ihe next batter must hit .the bails ih-i.^rtain way, or the ohancfl for ti triple is lost.

The pther Is fresh in the mind, al though it was made In a' minor 'eague. In 1901 Harry O'Hagan was playing first base for Columbus, in the West ern association. Tin canned, he went East to Newark, and the day after he donned- a New Jersey uniform he pulled off the play that made him famous. With men on first and second and, of course, nobody out, O'Hagan was playing close to the bag, when the next batter hit a liner directly into his hands. The force of the ball' fras enough to knock him back so that his foot touched the first- .Back, retiring the runner, who was off the -base. O'Hagan, turning to. throw to second. saw that the runner there had started at the crack of the bat and was nearly" to third. So, instead of throwing the: ball, he sprinted to second base with it in his hand, arriving in time to put the third man out on'the play. Last season the Kansas City club of the American association made two triple plays in one game at Toledo. Followed by a Lioneaa. While a lady and gentleman were proceeding by ricksha from Salisbury to Ardbennie on a recent Sunday evening they were considerably alarmed by seeing, soon after cross ing the .railway, a lioness cross their path some twenty-five yards ahead of them. Being taken so much by surprise they failed to check the boys, and pro ceeded on their journey. Shortly af terward they found the beast about' ten yards in the bush on one side of them, and she proceeded thus for over a mile and a half. Fortunately^ owing to the dirty and slippery condition of the roads, the boys' attention was. confined, to. their work of impelling the vehicle in their charge, and they •lid not perceive the lioness. It. was thought that the very bright light which the boys were carrying kept the animal at a safe distance. South Africa. Coquelin Would'Lift Profession M.
