nine assistants who have been laboring IN Euro

from the British Isles. and large percentage were
conely English girls, who are ready to be embraced
IN the faith and fold of the Latter Day saints.
Elder Smith did not appear in happy mood. lie
said that the gathering of the sheaves dd not give
the abundance of harvest that be had hoped but
thai he ought not to feel discouraged, however as
recruits were being added III goodly numbers from

In Which an Archbishop Gives Timely
Warning to His People.

Archbishop Gibbons, of Baltimore,
has issued a pastoral letter to the clergy OF
his diocese, which was read in all the
churches last Sunday. 1t calls the atten-
ton Of the clergy to the fact that the picnic
season is at hand, and the archbishop thus
advises:
Experience has shown that picnics and
excursions are a frequent occasion OF scan
dial and dissipation, and that even those
which are undertaken under the auspices OF
the church can escape the stigma of license
and disedifcation only by the prudent fore
thought and vigilance Of the pastor. Nc
pecuniary profits resulting from popular
amusements can compensate for single
sin or scene of disorder, and l need not add
that scandal, far from being palliated, is
aggravated committed on an occasion oil
this kind. In view Of the dangers attend
ing even those festivities which are under
taken under the interests of charity and re-
ligion, the statutes of the diocese require,
as you are aware, that no intoxicating
drinks should be sold or used on the prem
ises, and that the pastors, by their pres
ence and counsel, should contribute TO the
maintenance of decorum and order. Youl
congregation should be also admonished
that balls, excursions, and picnics held un.
der the management Of Catholic societies
have no ecclesiastical sanction whatever
unless approved by the pastor.

The Duty of Mothers.

Kansas City Times.
If you carefully watch different peo-
pie, when they are eating for instance,
you will see how character is indicated
Some will take the best of everything,
especially oranges and fruit of any
kind. They will put their coffee spoon
into the sugar or mustard, or sauce, or
jelly; their knife into the butter or
salt; they will touch, perhaps handle,
every piece of bread or cake on the
plate, and break or cut with their knife
the piece they decide to take, leaving
the other half for whoever will have it.
They hold a glass or goblet, putting
the hand around the top instead of
close to the bottom or on the stem.
They will eat from the plate of crack
ers, touching every cracker in the pro-
cess When they have finished eating
they will hold the napkin over the
mouth and pick the teeth. That last
we have seen men, otherwise fairly
we'll bred, do frequently, yet it is a
filthy habit for which there is no ex-
cuse. We have seen women do the
same thing occasionally, or else as they
leave the table, they will take tooth
pick with them. Neither the teeth nor
the nose should be cleaned at the table.
People who are ill-bred at the table are
either selfish, doing always what is
easiest and most convenient for them,
or else they have been badly broug bit
up. Assuredly, table manners, as much
as anything, show how people have
been brought up, and what were their
home influences. Habit begets custom,
and custom, said the wise Plato, is no
little thing. Therefore mothers should
begin early to watch the formation of
habit. They should remember that
habits begotten in youth are hard to
discard. 1t is a serious mistake parents
make in thinking that children out
grow habits that seem to them trivial
They forget that life is made up of
trivial things.
