SAN FRASCIsCo, Feb. 3.--A raid was

places were visited and furniture, gods,

wood. In several places weapons were
found. but generally the hlghbnders
were warned In time and removed all
portable property. The latest scheme
OF the police Is To destroy the fixtures of
the bighbinders as often as they are re-

city. But il Is probable that the power
To destroy this property will be tested In

Why do they come, these little ones

ing in mysterious silence, yet speak.
ing all the time of the purity and
sweetness of heaven? Why must they
open the tenderest fountains of our
natures only to leave them so soon,
choked with the bitter tears of loss u?
1t is impossible wholly to answer such
questions of the tortured heart; but
one can say, in general, that these lit
tie temporary wanderers from q celes-
tial home come and go because of the
great love of God. 1t is an inestima-
Bile blessing to have been the parent
of a child that has the stamp of heav-
ell upon its brow, to hold it in ones
arms, to minister to it, to gaze fondly
down into the little up-turned face,
and to rejoice in the unsullied beauty
of its smiles, and then to give it back
to God at his call, with the thought
that in heaven, as upon earth, 1t Is
still our own child, a member of the
household, still to be counted always
as one of the children whom God hath
given US. Such q love chastens and
sanctifies the hearts of father and
mother, carries them out beyond time
and Sense, and gives them hold upon
the unseen. AS things of great value
always cost, it is worth all the sorrow
to have known this holy affection,
and to have this treasure in heaven.-

What Others Say.
PITTSBURGH Advocate.

Some days before the death OF Gen.
Sherman, when be was in an uncon'
cious condition, Catholic priest was
called in, who administered to the dy-
ing soldier the Roman rite of extreme
JUNCTION. The announcement OF this
fact created no little surprise and com
ment throughout the country because
of the general understanding, believed
to be we'll founded, of Gen. Sherman's
un-Catholic, if not indeed decidedly
anti-Catholic, views. 1t was felt that
to take advantage of his state OF un-
consciousness to administer to him the
last rites of Church in whose super
stitions he had no faith was little
short of an outrage. But this was a
family matter, and the family were
all Catholics. No one had a right to
object but the General himself, and
all parties took good care to wait until
he had gotten where his protest could
not be made.

The reward of one duty is the pow
er to do another.
We cannot trust God too much, nor
ourselves too little.

People who are too cowardly to re-
buke wrong very often try to make
themselves and others believe that
their course is dictated by charity.
The truth is that an unpleasant duty
is evaded because of want OF cour-
age.
Talbot, very good writer, says
"Persons who are always lnnocently

The happiest of all men is the un-

The want of freshness in sermons is

Christian men and women frequent
ly suffer themselves to take toe
gloomy a view of the difficulties that
beset them. Ill health, poverty, the
failure of cherished plans, the unfaith'

other such things are likely to produce
a depression of the spirits. But even

occasion for gratitude and for hope

The hour before falling asleep at
night is one of the most important of
the twenty-four. The reading or con-
versation of that hour usually takes a
deeper hold on the mind than that of
any other. Long passages may be
easily memorized by reading them
over carefully several times duringt the
last waking hour. They appear to i'm
bed themselves in the mind while it
rests in sleep. The impressions par
ents leave on the minds of their chill
dren at night have much to do with
the formation of their characters.
Punishments inflicted at that season
sometimes loosen the bonds which
bind the hearts of children to their
homes, while kind words and affec-
tionate counsels given at that hour Of
ten prove SAVIOR of life unto life.

It is not considered "good form" fol-

RELIEF IN LUNG TRoUBLEs.-1t
has long been known that pine nee
die pillows would alleviate persons af-
fected with lung troubles, and a Flori-
da editor relates an incident in sup
port of the fact as follows: A lady
having heard that there was peculiar
virtue in a pillow made from pine
straw, and having none of that mate
rial at hand, made one from fine, soft,
pine shavings, and had the pleasure OF
noting immediate benefit. soon all
the members of the household had
fine shaving pillows, and it was
noticed that all coughs, asthmatic or
bronchial troubles abated at once after
sleeping a few nights upon a mattress
made from pine shavings. The mate
rial is cheap and makes very pleas
ant and comfortable mattress, the odor
of the pine permeating the entire
room and absorbing or dispelling all
unpleasant odors.
