The Burial of Suicides.

In giving their decision on the ques-
tion recently submitted to them-should
suicides be granted Christian burial?-
the Sacred Congregation Of Rites have
first called attention to the general law
in such cases: "It is not permitted to
give Christian burial to those who kill
themselves through despair or anger,
not madness, oh desperationem vel ira
cundiam, if, before death, they have not
given signs of repentance" The Sacred
Congregation adds the three possible
hypothesis: I. When gertrude exists
that madness was the cause of selt-des-
truction, Christian burial and solemn
funeral obsequies can be given 2. When
there is positive proof of madness, both
Christian burial and solemn funeral OBJ
eequies to be granted. 8. When doubt
exists as to whether the person committed
suicide through despair or madness,
Christian burial can. be accorded, but
solemn funeral obs equies are to be re-

PLATFORM.
l. The most direct taxation is the
best, because it gives to the real payers
of taxes a conscious aud direct pecuniary
interest in honest and economical gov
eminent.
2. Mortgages and capital engaged in
production of trade should be exempt
from taxation; because taxes on such
capital tend to drive it away, to put 8
premium on dishonesty and to discour
age industry.
3. Real estate should bear the main
burden of taxation; because such taxes
can be most easily, cheaply and certainly
collected, and because they bear least
heavily on the banner and the worker: 81

Matthew Arnold on Catholicity.

MaCCu6W ArnOlu Oh Sdt1AO4AClGy'
This is why the man of imagination,
nay, the philosopher, too, will always
have weakness for the Catholic Church ;
because of the rich treasures of human
life which have been stored within her
pale: .
"Who has seen the poor in other
churches as they are seen in Catholic
churches? Catholicism, besides, envel-
oped human life; and Catholics in gen
eral feel themselves to have drawn not
only their religion from the church; they
feel themselves to have drawn from her,
too, their art and poetry and culture.
eff there is thing specially alien to
religion it is divisions. Ii there is thing
specially native to religion, it is peace
and union. Hence original attraction
towards unity in Rome, and hence the
great charm and power for mans mind
of that uni y when once attained.
II persist in thinking that Catholicism
has, from this superiority, great future
before it; that 1t will endure while all
the Protestant scots dissolve and perish

Friends Made in a Day,

In passing along the wayside girls are
very apt to pick up a friend here, and an
acquaintance there without much thought
as to whether they are desirable ones to
have or not. You are prone, especially
you clever girls, to laugh at convention
alities, apd to say you we'll know who
you please end when you please. This
sounds very independent, and you think
very full of knowledge, but it only shows
just what an inexperienced girl you are.
Friends cannot be made in an hour or a
day, and the undying affection announced
after that time is as likely to curl up and
fade away like the morning glories.
There are great many women in this
world who are charming, interesting,
who look beautiful and who make you
have a pleasant time, but these are not
always the women who should be your
friends. It's a great temptation-this
having good time. I want it and so do
you, my dear, but we must each be a
little careful in the choice of our associ-
ates in the good time. Difficult? Not if
you have mother to give you word of
advice. But if you haven't, and if there
is no one to warn you against the woman
you ought not to know, I very much fear
that your lesson will have to come from
experience. Having had that, do not
put yourself in position to let it happen
again. You possess an intangible some
thing when you meet the wrong woman
that tells you to beware of her, and this
is what you ought to obey. Be polite
and pleasant to everybody, but remember
that friend becomes one gradually, and
surely that friendship cannot spring up
in night; only weeds do that and all
they deserve is to be cut down in the
morning.

What Many Protestants Feel.

Mr.. James Parton, in his famous article
on "Our Roman Catholic Brethern,"
which appeared years ago in the Allan
tic Monthly, drew the following picture
of the difficulties which assail the minds
of many Protestants. What he noticed
then, troubles the Protestant mind yet:
Among the most frequent causes as
signed by inquirers for dissatisfaction
with their hereditary belief are the fol-
lowing: The difficulty of believeing in
the literal infallibility of the whole Bible;
the gloom of the sabbatarian Sunday;
the ban placed by many sectarians upon
Innocent pleasures, such az dancing and
drama, which tends to drive people into
guilty pleasures; the frenzies of the
camp-meeting, more revolving in some
parts of the country than the bowling Of
the Dervishes of Turkey; the painful
uncertainty which many persons feel all
their lives, whether their souls are saved
or not; the dullness and barrenness Of
the public service, in which duty is as
signed to every clergyman which only
one in a thousand can discharge, namely,
the production of two powerful and en-
tertaining sermons every seven days.
The effect OF the war in multiplying
conversions is explained thus: The
Catholic Church alone escaped division,
eince the Catholic Church alone kept
itself entirely aloof from the political
questions involved. The spectacle of
this unity in the midst of such conten-
ton and severance has proved captivat-
ing, ] am told, to several educated minds.
