Wednesday till Easter Sunday, are fas
days Of precept, on one meal, with tx
allowance of moderate collation. in the
evening.
.. The precept of fasting implies ais,
that of abstinence from the use of fiesl
meat. But by diSpensation the use o
flesh meat is allowed in this diocese at tn,
principal meal on the Mondays, Tuesday,
aud Thursdays of Lent, from the tirsi
Sunday until Palm Sunday.
3. The use of meat is not allowed on
Thursday next after Ash Wednesday, no,
on any day in the Holy Week, immedi-
ately preceding Easter Sunday.
f. There is neither fast nor abstinence
10 he observed on Sundays Of Lent except
Palm Sunday, which is a day of abstl-
ncnce from flesh meat, but not day o.
taSt. .--.
5. 1t is not allowed to use fish witt
flesh meat at the same meal. .-
6. There is no prohibition to use eggs
butter or cheese, provided the rules o
quantity prescribed by the fast be com

TERRITORIAL ADVANCES OF RUSSIA

The London correspondent of the Ham,
llton (Canada1 Spectator gives the follow
ing outline Of the territorial advances of
kuSs,a since the beginning of The present
century:
BY the conquest Of Finland in 1909.
she gained the command Of the CULTS of
Finland and Bothnia, and thus complete
ly changed the position of Russia relative
10 Sweden. BY tia, oonques; SIZE saiaed
tie ports Of Abo and Sweabery. ,le last
being tie great naval establishment of the
Swodes, and also the isle of Aland. which
IS only twenty-tour miles from the Swed isb
shore, and runs up her territory hun
drpd and sixty miles, till it touches the
frontier Of Norway, round which coun-
,ry it bends hundred and ninety miles.
Formerly, the guns of Sweden could be
heard at st. Petersburg; now Finland
forms the Russian barrier on the Ballic,
or rather in Ingria, on which the new
capital was built, when little better than
| a marsh.
On the Niemeu, the frontier remains
unchanged for a hundred miles but at
| the point where that river runs along
| East Prussia, the frontier strikes the Wis.
tula at Thorn, whence Dantzic is ONLY
distant 20 miles, and Berlin but l70
miles. The line then crosses the Vistula,
advancing 10 kalIsh, and bending south
eli =. passes within 80 miles Of the Oder.
wh,r, i follows an eastern course along
thc district Of Craeow, and then is only
distant lI0 miles from Vienna. Thus
size threatens, BY her proximity, both
Prussia and Austria.
By the treaty of Bucharest, in 1872,
she pushed the boundary TO the Pruth.
She got possession OF he Crimea in l19l,
and of Georgia in 1901, and has now the
command of the Caspian by the river
Tolga, which is actually connected with
the Neya, Oh the Baltic, by chain Of
rivers, SO that the navigation is continu-
Gus, and thus threatens Persia. What
remains against Russia, is the Caucasus
ard the Black Sea. Give her thes Q,
and she is master. Therefore it is wise
to strike blow at this colossus, too
crafty to be trusted, and whose states.
manship is based on hypocrisy. 1t must
indeed be plain from the geographical
position of Russia, that it is the special
interest Of Prussia and Austria to con-
fine ker within her present frontier, as it
is the interest of the maritime powers to
exclude her from the sound, the Black Sea
aud the Dardapelles.
