ABOUT SPEAKING LATIN.
How Catholic Students Are Better In
structed Than Non-Catholics.

ssructed Than Non-Csthoiics.
We believe that the students from CO.
lumbia and other non-Catholic colleges
would be at great disadvantage In a
Latin debate with competitors from any
OF our Catholic higher institutions OF
learning. The reason il that the methods
OF acquiring a knowledge of the Latin
language IN Catholic aud non-Cathoilc
colleges are radically different. The sys-
tenn In vogue in the former is to indoc-
trinate the pupil in the peculiar idlom
and genius OF the language. This is done
by familiarizing his mind with the COM
parative force and elegance OF the several
forms OF expressing the same idea. In
our Catholic colleges the habit OF speak
ing and writing Latin is fostered at an
early stage of the pupils studies; and
after being made acquainted with the
styles and peculiarities OF the several
Latin authors. he is employed rather In
translating English into Latin than In
rendering those authors into the vernacu-
lar.
The result is obvious. The one class Of
students know whatever they know OF
Latin at sight only The other have mas
tered IL In its every twist and fibre. The
first may be able TO translate the Latin
authors pretty freely into English; but
We're they required as n condition 10
getting n good dinner. 70 give their orders
in that tongue, we fear they should have
a long fast. Whereas, the second. accus-
toned 10 Latin as the language of the
classroom, in which all questions are
asked. answers given, and disputes car
ried on, can talk away upon any given
topic with all the colloquial nuency Of
Erasmus. Because Of this difference In
linguistic training. we have known those
who could open any Latin author at
random. and. without the slightest pre-
meditation. turn the original into accu-
rate and. graceful English; yet, to save
their lives. they couldn't tell hospitable
monk I'm a foreign hospice what they'd
have for supper.-Catholic Union and

NEW YORK, Feb. l1.-Wh lille society holds
Its breath and awaits in anxious suspense
the first drawing room Of the London sea-
son, to be given by the Princess of Wales
early next month, and while Mrs Stanford's
Anti-Criuoline League in London is work
ing hard to secure a few more thousand
women on its lists, let us look ABOUT us
and SEQ what lies just at hand. We
have still a month before we shall
know positively whether crinoline is
to be on the other side Of the water,
for nothing can be known until that first
drawing room is over. All we know now
Is that the royal family has not cO-operated
with the league, and that, therefore, there
is q strong possibility that the crinoline
may show itself on the first great occasion.
And il It does, woe unto US! for sooner or
later, in spite Of all efforts against it, it will
reach US over here. For London society is
bound to follow in the footsteps Of the
princess of the realm, and America is bound
TO follow the leadership OF foreign danes.
But in the face of these tantalizing facts
let US continue on our peaceful way for
another month. Let us be quite oblivious
to the fad that at the end Of our short re-
spite we may become metamorphosed, may
assume an altogether different identity,
may change from the independent fln-de-
steele girl to the dropping, blushing. weak.
helpless bit of femininity, all skirts and
draperies, Of a few generations back. After
all, there is no time like the present, and
there are plenty Of other things to think
about. Somebody is always devislng some
thing new.
Just now it is the skirt trimmings. You
may trim your skirt first with row OF
feathers. shade to suit your fancy and the
dress, and, above, a series OF half shells and
-coquilles-in velvet or satin ribbon. Or
you may start again with your feathers
and have narrow bands embroidered in the
shades of your gown on white cloth, laid
above. Or you may have a closely-twisted
roll Of ribbon at the edge. from which rise
curving bands of RIBBON, each headed with
a bow. Or you may cross your ribbon
bands all around the skirts, tipping the
crosses with rosetJes.

Cleveland and sEse Newspapers.

1t doesn't do to make an onslaught
on the editorial profession, even on the
least exalted branch of 1.-THE branch
consisting of editors who are editors
only because they want to be some
thing else-sCmething in the political
line, with fat salary attached. Pres
ident Cleveland undertook to set him
self against the opportunities of this
class Of people, and after brief en-
gdgement he has seen fit to retire from
the conflict.
Perhaps it is just as well. From the
standpoint OF journalists who are de
voted to their profession there is some
thing most ignoble III using the edito
rial tripod as a stepping stool to office.
But from the standpoint OF the public
good, there is no reason why any adj
ADMINISTRATION should make sweeping
discrimination against members Of the
editorial profession. There is nothing
III the teachings of experience to show
that politician who is an editor is any
worse than a politician who Is a lawyer
pure and simple In fact, other things
being equal, experience gained IN the
editorial profession is apt to assist in
raising the qualifications of the aver

LITTLE CHILDREN SINGING,
That Is the Way the Russians Greet the
Birthday OF Christ.

birthday of Christ.
In Russia there is always a great
demand for little ones who can sing
well. Girls with clear, sweet voices
and boys with notes like thrush are
carefully carel for and cherished as
they are in no other country. In
America they are very fond OF chill
drcn who can sing. But they are not
so absolutely necessary to us as they
seem to be to the Russians.
The night before Christmas in all
the Russian churches there IS sure to
be gathered together a very large as
sembly of people-so many, indeed,
that the church is crowded out to the
door steps and people stand looking
over each others shoulders trying to
get Just a peep into the church.
The altar IS sure to be
very beautifully decorated with
candles and with images of the Christ
child. And up to midnight very SOL
emn servi IS are held. Suddenly, at
the stroke OF the midnight bell, every
thing ceases The church is very bril-
liantly lighted, ana, as the lights fl ooi
the chur h, a child's voice is heard
pealing forth Christm IS anthem.
"Kris.os. kristos, kristos," IS the
burden OF the song they always sing,
ard those who have had the pleasure
Of listening - a yhill's service held at
midnight il Russia say that it is worth
the trip all the way there just to hear
the lovely child voice sing the
.'Krstos" solo with the grand chorus
of 100 baby voices which follows in a
Christmas refrain.

Excellent Farming Lands.

In recent letter to the WinOna Re
publican, William L. Phelps, of St.
Paul, formerly secretary of the Duluth
chamber of commerce, said: From a
somewhat detached and careful exam
nation, in company with the land
commissioner of the st. Paul ( Duluth
railway, during the past year, | haYe
been greatly surprised to observe the
existence of extensive areas of the fin
est agricultural lands in st. Louis,
Lake, Carlton, Pine, kanabcc and adj
jacent counties, in our own state and
in Wisconsin. On the north, the valley
Of the Red Lake river contains some Of
the best farming lands within the
state. On the Canadian side of that
stream these lands are settled, and we
find there one of the most prosperous
agricultural communities beyond the
border
The time is not far distant when
agriculture viii assume that promin-
ence in the Lake Superior region
which its latent resources and the de
mand Of the community amply Justify.
This Will be necessary to supply the
wants Of the rapidly increasing popu-
latiOn now concentrating around the
great inland sea to handle its vast
commerce, to develop its resources OF
iron and copper, its quarries of granite
and sandstone, its forests of pine and
other valuable timber, and cooperate
its colossal manufacturing establish
ments now springing UP on every hand.
THAT country Is abundantly capable
of producing not only 'cdbbageS and
white beans enough to supply its OWN
markets for years to come, but to glad
den the heart of the Athens Of Amer
lea on the one hand and fill the StOm-
achs of the devotees of sauer kraut in
all Iowa. The resources are there in
abundance, and the work of develop
ment has begun. Dairy, stock raising
market gardening and farming are
destined soon to assume their due I'M
portance and they Will add their full
share to the wealth, the prosperity and
renown OF our great state.
