So Decides the Sacred Congregation at
 Rome-Cardinal Simeoni's Reply.
 NEW YORK, Nov. 20.-The Catholic News has received from it's Roman correspondent the following text of the reply sent by Car dinal Simeoni, prefect of the propaganda, to his eminence Cardinal Gibbons:
 Ut is my duty to inform your eminence that the fresh documents relative to the association known as the Knights of Labor, forwarded to this Sacred Congregation, were examined by it at the sitting of 16th of Au- gust of the current year. After having at tentively studied the whole subject the Sacred Congregation has directed me to reply that so far as at present appears, the association of the Knights of Labor can for the moment be tolerated. The Sacred Congregation merely requires that the necessary modifica- tions should be introduced in the rules of the society, to make clear whatever might seem obscure or might be interpreted in a bad sense.
 ''These notifications are required particu- larly in passages of the preface to the rules concerning local associations. And then the words savoring of socialism and communism must be corrected in such a way that they shall only affirm the right, conferred by God on man, of acquiring property, using legiti- mate means and respecting the proportionate rights of all others. l am most happy to be able to inform your holiness that the Sacred Congregation has highly approved of the de sign of the American hierarchy to see with us that in this and similar associations noth ing should be secretly introduced which is contrary to justice and morals, or not en. tirely conformable to the regulations regard ing the Masonic sect. Whilst confirming your eminence in this excellent design in the name of the Sacred Congregation, beg you to accept the assurance of our respectful anc devoted sentiments"

SYRACUSE, N.

Buffalo is an applicant for the place left vacant by the Clevelands in the American association, but it is pretty certain that Buffalo will stick to the Inter- national association.

Success and Heroism.

There are no qualities which succeed so
well in this worldas selfshness and strict
honesty. It pays to be honest. There is
nothing heroic about it. And there is
nothing heroic about the success of the
self made man who takes all his chances
and leaves his younger brothers and
sisters to shift for themselves. The Young
man who stays at homo in order to helD
those near him to rise from the slough Of
poverty is the hero. He is unselfsh. We
cannot gauge success by what appears
to be success. If money making
were the real test Of success we
would have no heroes. We should have
no priests, no religions, no philanthro-
pists, no poets, no orators. That man is
truly successful and truly heroic who
strictly performs his duty. Theman Who
strains every nerve and sinew to make
money IS laying up for himself an old age
OF regrets. How many old women's homes
and libraries, founded with his wealth
when it becomes a burden to him, can
compensate for the remembrance of the
gray heads and worn fingers nearest and
nearest, who, unconsoled by him, went to
their rest?-Christian Union.

Good Cool, for Lot went,e,..

The supply Of any commodity answers
the demand in quality no less than in

the only demand made Of an author is
that he shall be entertaining. They are
hurried through or dawdled through or
gone through with in q ierlzy combination
OF both methods, and they are written ac-

ago the whole was fastened up in a

The Mines of Mexico.

The mining country of the future is
Old Mexico. Not because of the richness
Of the ores there, but because of the
cheapness Of taking it out An So ore
can be handled in that country as profit
ably as a $50 ore in this country. The
Mexicans are the most expert miners in
the world, and they live cheap and work
for correspondingly low wages. I have
little confidence in the old mining proper
ties of that country because the Mexicans
know how to mine There was an effort
made few months ago to spread the i'm
preston that there were numerous verJ
rich old mines in Mexico that were aban-
dOned decades ago. There are a few in
stances where mine was abandoned in
that country because the water came
into it too fast for the bucket brigade of
those times, but such cases arc rare. The
great majority of the abandoned mines
were worked out before they were aban-
doned But there is an immense amount
of low grade ore in Mexico that has not
been touched, and great deal of it can
be worked prOftably which in this coun-
try could not be taken out at all. There is
enough of it, at least, to supply the
world with metal for few years, and
most of the worlds supply will come
from there.-A. w. Clifford in Globe-Dem-
Ocrat.

Sinking Piles i'm sanh.

The use of the water Jet for sinking
piles, particularly in sand, is interesting.
A tube, generally of ordinary gas pipe,
open at the lower end, is fastened to the
pile; the upper end is connected by hose
to powerful pump, and, the pile being
placed in position ON the surface of the
sand, water is forced through the tube
and excavates a passage for the pile,
which, by the application of very light
pressure, descends rapidly to the desired
depth. Tho stream of water must be
continuous, as it rises along the side Of
the pile and keeps the sand in mobile
state. Immediately upon the cessation
of pumping the sand settles about the
pile, and it is sometimes quite impossible
to afterward move it. The water let is
used in sinking iron piles by conducting
the water through the interior of the hol,
low pile and out of q hole at its point.
The piles of the great iron pier at Coney
Island were sunk with great celebrity in
this way.-John Bogart in Scribner's s
Magazine.

Ayers Pills are SO popular is, that
