lady at her wedding, OF which he was

marvellous spectacle truly was tho

array from head to foot. the former

material resembling turquoise enamel,
wrought into tho finest fligree work,
from which projected glittering arti-
fetal beetles and butterflies and other
quaint rich ornaments, the whole sur
mounted by three large round tufts Of
crimson silk arranged tiarawise.
From the brim of this headgear fell
all round strings of pearl and ruby beads,
nbou. half yard in length. Just wish
bic through these Mt the back were broad
loops of jet black lair, stiff and solid as
polished ebony, and decorated with arti-
fetal pink roses. Her principal vcstment
was long tunic, whose foundation fab

corner turned back, lined with emerald
satin, revealed an underskirt paneled in
brilliant red and blue silk, this also pro-

PADRE vERDUGo's CATS.

Padre Mateo verdugo was the vener-
able priest in charge Of nm Indian mis-.
sion near the coast OF California. The
mission is now majestic ruin; but 90
yesn ago Padre Mn,eo was busy man.
One morning, while the sacristan
slept, Padre Mateo sat outside his door
with big book on his knees.
The padre had almost fallen asleep,
when, hearing the patter Of bare feet,
no looked up to sec dark skinned boys
carrying litter of kittens toward the
creek.
1Que! Que!' cried the padre, rubbing
his eyes. Would you destroy the poor
kittensy"
"si, padre, replied one little Indian.
Para que!" questioned the priest.
They are too many. padre, answered
the little Indian, po!sing his great toe in
the dust
But wait! The pretty things! They
hive not yet bslield the light Of day. Give
them to mel" cried the benignant priest.
They shall not perish. for will care for
them myself. Are they not pretty, my
worthy Guadaloupe; Open thine eyes
Sss one instant.
Had the sacristan forescen the conse.
quenccs he would have made rcmon.
atrancc before the PADRES passion
strengthened; but being sleepy and sell
fish, Guadaloupe settled himself for an.
Other nap.
At the end Of the second year Padre Ma.
tco's cats were the bane Of the sacristan's
life.

dom. Yes, by the way, there is one, and
only one: "a time to laugh, +" but We
may search the Scriptures from Genesis
to the Apocalypse without detecting any
intimation as to when that time occurs
Probably Solomon meant the brief per-

to those OF larger growth after having
10 bitterly commented on the practice In
previous chapters
1t must have been constant study of
the preachers gloomy uttcrances which
made laughter SO unpopular among the
monks of the desert and some OF tho
early fathers. ST. Basil, for instance,
will have nothing to do with II. No
person, he says, of we'll ordered mind
can ever bring himself to indulge in a
good laugh, or, in the quaint patristic
language, "in immanes cachinnos pror-
umpere ct corpore sussultare." A little
turther on, thinking, perhaps, that he
has not spoken with decision enough, he
takes occasion to improve the text, "Woe
unto you that laugh now!" 1t is per.
fectly plain, he adds, that there is no
room whatever for laughter in the life oil
the faithful ("nul.um omnino locum dari
fidcli, in quo ridcre tebeat''). Plato. Il
good many centuries earlier, in con
structing his ideal state, expressly
warned his readers that laughter loving
persons were ineligible as guardians. He
even forbade that worthy men should be
represented, on the stage or elsewhere,

in itself, however; this was reserved fol
