The QUEST:

There once was restless boy
Who dwelt in a home by the sea,
Where the water danced for joy
And the wind was glad and free.

SO he travelled here and there,
But never content was he,
Though, he saw in lands most fair
The costliest homes there be-.
He something missed from the sea or
Efssa@ sky,fS9 &o200 Col
Till he turned again, with wistful sigh,
To the little brown house,
The old brown house,
Under the apple-tree.
Then the mother saw and smiled,
While her heart grew glad and free.
Hast thou chosen home, my child !?
All, where shall we dweilp" quoth
she.
And he said, Sweet Mother, from the
east to west,
The loveliest home, and the dearest and
best,
Is the little brown house,
The old brown house,
Under an apple-tree."

A HOME OF THE SILENT BROTHER
HOOD. gU

AN Illustrated article Dy James
Lane Allen, in the August Century
describes the Trappist monastery in
Kentucky. The following is an ac.
count of occupation Of the brothers
"The community donot till the farm.
The greater part OF their land is oc
cupied by tenant farmers, and what
they reserve for their own use is cul.
tivated by the so-called family
brothers, who. it is due to say, have
no families, but live as celibates on
the abbey domain, subject to the alb
bots authority, without being mem.
bers OF the order. The monks, how.
ever, do labor in the ample gardens,
orchards, and vineyards from which
they derive their sustenance, in the
steam saw mill and grain mill, in
the dairy and the cheese factory.
Thus picturesquely engaged one
may find them In autumn: monks
gathering apples and making barrel
after barrel of pungent cider, which
is stored away in the vast cellar as
their only beverage except water;
monks repairing the shingle roof of
stable; monks feeding the huge
swine which they tatten for the
board of their carnal guests, or lut.
tering multitudes of chickens from
the eggs and young of which they
derive a slender revenue; monks
grouped in the garden around a
green and purple heap of turnips, to
be stored up as a winter relish of no
mean distinction.
"Amidst such scenes one forgets
all else while enjoying the wealth
and freshness of artistic effects.
What picture is this young Bel
gian cheese-maker, his sleeves rolled
up above the elbows of his brawny
arms, his great pinkish hands buri-
ed in the golden curds, the cap of
his serge cloak falling back and
showing his closely clipped golden
brown hair, blue eyes, and clear deli
cate skin! Or this Australian ex-
farmer, as he stands by the hopper
of grist or lays on his shoulder a
bag of flour for the coarse brown
bread of the monks. Or this dark
French opera-singer who strutted
his brief hour Oh many a European
stage, but now hobbies around, all
hoary in his cowl and blanehed
with age, to pick up a handful of
garlic. Or this athletic, superbly
formed young freshman, tbrusting a
great iron prod into the glowing
Goals of the saw mill fugnace. Or
this slender Switzer, your attendant
in the refectory, with great keys
dangling from his leathern cincture,
who stands by with folded hands
and bowed head while you are eat
ing the pagan meal he has prepared
and prays that you may be forgiven
for enjoying it. G
From various countries of the
Old World men find their way into
the Abbey of Gethsemane, but
among them are no Americans.
Repeatedly the latter have made the
experiment, have always failed to
persevere mp TO the final conservation
of the white cowl. The fairest warn
ing is given to the postulant. He is
made to understand the entire ex.
tent of the obligation he has assam,
ed; and after passing through a
noyitiate, prolonged at the discre.
ton of the abbot, is he admitted to
the VOWS that must be kept unbrok
en- till DEATH" t
