construction from those described. The
leaves grow out from the centre of the
plant and are in three divisions. On the
tip of each grows the trap, which is made
similar to the valves clam shell. They
are hinged at the back and edged all
around With sharp spikes. On the inner
side are three long hairs which are very
sensitive, so that the instant they are
touched the valves close, the spikes are
locked together and the insect is antrap.

sort for food, the spikes remain clasped

ST should be sorry to thwart your

Campton, sbut I am constrained to tell
you that members Of the congregation

replied Brother Billings, much ag-
grieved t'WhaJ sort of religion do you
call that2"
"Pray don't think of 1t in that way,
BROTHER" said the deacon, soothingly.
I'VE merely desire to give the brothers
from the city every opportunity to ex-
press themselves without interruption.

New E1ouse for sleepy Mem.

The well-known millionaire, ex-Con-
gressman George West, Of Ballston, N.
Y, says he solves many of his most per-
picking business problems while in bed,
in tho early morning hours. Comment
ing on the fact, he remarked that some
one once told him that tho late Commo-
dore Vanderbilt had said: Young men
talk about getting up early in the morn
ing to go to work. While they are puz-
zling themselves at their desks over
business propositions lie abed, think
them over, and find the solution before
Igo to the Office" This confirms thes
conclusion of many others, that ones
thoughts are clearer while he is in re-
cumbent position than at any other time.
This may arise in part from the fact that
in the early morning tho mind is rested,
and one is usually free at that time from
intrusion. Thus concentrated effort is
facilitated.

CATHOLIC FAITH.

Its Rensonableness Explained by Very
Rev. Joseph SASHA, 5. j.
Every seat in S. Ignatius Church was oc-
cupied last night, when an interesting lee
ture was given by the Very Rev. Joseph
Sasha. 5. j., on "ReaSonableness of Cath
ole Faith" The discourse was equal In
interest to the best of the e,oquent and
learned spe ,ker's essays, and, though
repetition of his recent sermon 1T St Mary's
Cathedral in aid of St Joseph's Day Home,
was heard by some of the congregation for
a second time with profit. Indeed, it was
of asubject, treated in such beautiful and
pleasing way. that those people who heard
it on both occasions were fortunate.
Father SASHA introduced the subject with
a statement that among the many gifts law
ished by Gods infinite goodness aud LIBERAL
ity on his intelligent creatures on earth
there is none mere precious in its character.
no more beneficial in its results than the
gift Of Christian divine Catholic faith.
Continuing, he told what the falth pro-
poses to human belief, that it is heavenly
gift and eminently reasonable in its 1Ogmas.
Then followed the great problem OF
humanity-which no reasonable being can
attempt to solve without leaving the queS-
ton which arises in so doing unanswered
What is mans destiny? The answer he
would give is, it cannot be solved without
having recourse to the teachings of Christian
faith, which many man reject and pretend
to ignore. 1t was setting up the temple OF
reason against the authority of divine faith.
1.-The chief reason why the teachings OF
Catholic faith" the speaker asserted, are
denounced and even diSputed-the enemies
of Catholic faith tell us-is that the doctrine
OF the church, however sublime it may be,
vet in this nineteenth century. in the broad
daylight of civilization, fails TO commend
tn In ind nj mo / -
incomprehensible mysteries"
The answer was that even the earth con-
tained mysteries beyond the finite power of
mans understanding. Science alone has
mysteries which no man can attempt to eX-
plain and yet these mysteries are accepted
Automatically
