The Use, Of Tar.

Professor Lunge draws attention TO the
many advantages to be derived from the use
Of tar in treating building material. Drain
pipes, roofing tiles, building stones, brick,
etc. when soaked in bath Of hot tar, be-
come absolutely water tight. The dead
black color thus impaired is by no means an
objection in many cases. The article should
be well dried and allowed TO remain for some
time in the tar, which should be heated at
least to the boiling point Of water, and
should also be- first free from water and
volatile oils After all, why should we ever
have leaky roofs and damp ceilarsi 1t costs

AN UNLIGHTED CIGAR

IL i, in small matters that national charac-
teristics are best seen. Nothing, for instance,
could better show the true republican equal
ity Of the American people than the actors
Of two smokers meeting on the street. Tho
one i a well dressed, well TO do citizen, carry

coming "A seedy looking individual, socially

and mingle their fires and aromas, and with
more polite bows the two men pass on.
In the Cuban islands there are special and
strict forms of etiquette relative to tins UNI

THE REASON FOR 1T.
To counoisseurs IN cigars the reason for
this act 4, obvious. \ cigar which has been

it loses a considerable portion OF the dellcacy
Of its flavor. and should that one against
which it is thus rubbed be Of an inferior
flavor and aroma, these qualities III itself

circumstances TO have TO lose an exquisite

which commands the acceptation of a cigar
Of much inferior flavor and value. How
ever. breach of this point is never made,
and n well bred Cuban would die sooner than
show any irritation.
In most European countries, with the ex-
ception. perhaps, OF cigarette smoking Spain,
the street etiquette of smoking Is much less

An Interesting Law Suit,

A. short time ago note of issue was
fled at the district court in a suit OF
Susan r. Eastman against the St. An.
thony Water Power Company to de-
termine the dowage rights Of the com.
pany to the strip of land around Nicol-
let island. The suit is important be-
Cause it is part of the general plan of
operations that w. w. Eastman has
been quietly preparing for some time,
and which we're given considerable
prominence a few months ago when he
proposed to dedicate portion of Island
avenue to the city for park purposes.
The islanders are inclined to hold that
the land belongs to the state or United
States government. Mrs. Eastman
claims it under g tax title. The land
has become exceedingly valuable in the
past few years and it seems likely that
out of this legal complication will grow
a SUIT that will rival in Importance the
famous King Remington suit.
In Cincinnati last week 500 house
painters were on strike.
The wooden mill at West Buxton,
Me-, was destroyed by fire on the 4th

The strike OF the engineers on the
Fort Wayne (Ind). was declared off

Sanctity Easy

10 many IL seems hard to acquire
sanctity. To undertakes work of such
great magnitude is, even to the thought
frigbtful. Yet, no one can attain the
supernatural life unless he becomes a
saint. There are many degrees of per-
lection, but III all sanctity must be a
substantial element. What is sanctity
or holiness? Simply conformity to the
rule OF rectltude. Now this rule is dis
coverable by reason and revelation, 1t
is by these means that God enlightens
His creatures and unfolds to them His
will, which is righteousness. Through
these two channels God communicates
with man, and NUT ally helpful, they
do not clash. Reason becomes perfect
in revelation, and thus perfected and
elevated. it teaches man that to be
holy he must conform his life to the
standard Of the good and the true.
Briefly, he must love God above all
things, aud mis- neighbor as himself.
This is the will OF God, and it is mans
sanctiication. In other words. by OBJ
serving this rule in the routine of his
daily duties, a man becomes a saint.
God does not expect that we should
reach the infinite perfection Of the Di-
vine Model offered for our imitation.
Knowing we'll Che clay Of which we are
made, He simply wishes that we should
do all we can to attain the highest pos
sible point Of moral excellence If we
try to become perfect, we may be said
to be in the way Of sapctity. and as He
sincerely wishes our sauctihcation, the
sanctidcation Of every one of us, He
will supply our deficiencies. a. good
will is what is wanted. Look at the
saints, for st. Joseph whose feast is ap-
preaching. He performed no great
deeds, if we are to judge OF greatness
by the worlds notions. A simple arti
san, he spent his days in the ccnscien-
tious duties of his state of life, in all
things seeking to please God. This we
can all do, and if we wish to be like
the saints in their rewards, we must be
like them in their works. They glori.
fed God, they edited men; we must do
the same. They lived amid trials and
fluctuations, which are the common
lot of man; bnt as they sought to be-
come perfect, they made prudent use
Of their fluctuations. Unlike the una
jority OF men they turned their trials to
good account They We're submissive
and humble in thu presence of God and
man. Nor in this did they lack self
respect or true manhood, for they were
the truest of men, that is, practical
Catholics. Such were, are, and will be.
all who ever will enjoy the recompense
Of the saints, which ia the possession of
God. 1t is a mistake to suppose that it
is hard to become saint. If a thous-
andth part of the labor spent in the &C.
QUESTION of the passing trif1es of this
world were given to the pursuit of the
one thing necessary, which is sanctity,
very many, who by their own fault.
have been lost forever, would be saved.
