There are thousands of tired women
today on the verge of breaking down
because they are martyrs to their own
false ideas of domestic duty.
They are slaves to their homes; and
their exalted notions of absolute order
and cleanliness keep them from morn
ing to night upon the rack of mental
and physical torture until they grow
old, care worn, nervous, irritable and
sickly, in their foolish struggle with
dust.
Only the exceptionally strong can
stand the facilitating effect of over
heated rooms, lack of fresh air and eX-
ercise, ever-burdened stomachs and the
artificial, nervous, hurried life of SO
many good wives and mothers. ti&
Just as nature prompts young chill
dren to cry and grow irritable when
hungry, SO poorly fed, over-worked
nerves cry out for their proper food by
tWinges of rheumatism and neuralgia.

properly fed, exactly 50 the nervous

Some of our neighbors try to make
capital out of this to further their
own interest, when they would adj
vertise these beats themselves if they
had moral courage. They know it
does more to make the beats honest
than anything else. and it also shows
up to our brother merchants the I'M

closing, is that we do not want that
class of trade: our neighbors can

APPARITION OF A CROSS.
Our Lady appears to the Pagan Wor-
shippers of the Feejee Islands.

The Moniteur de Rome gives an &C
count Of the curious apparition of a cross
as described by Mgr. Vidal of the mis-
sion of st. Paul in Suva and who is pro-
curator Of the Lazarist's missions. He
writes: "1he mission of the Solevu, Feejee
islands, has witnessed a fact that will
deeply impress the faith on those who
saw it. 1t was the apparition Of the cross
in the sky and seen by the united tribe
of the Solevu country He then gives
the account of how, before the arri-
val in those parts of the Catholic mis-
sionaries, several Protestant clergymen
had been ont there, and their preaching
had been listened to by other tribes, but
the tribe of the Solevu resisted.
The religion which they observed was
worshiping idols, but one day one of
the heads of that religion went to the
chief of the tribe to consult him about
the missionaries that had come to teach
them u new religion, and he said to the
chief, Before ieaving our religion CT
paganism, as the Europeans call it, it
would be necessary to consult our gods
to know if the religion brought to us by
these men is good" The chief then an
swered that he would assemble all his
people. I'VE will offer the sacrifice to
our gods. and we will pray to them to
know which is the real religion-that of
the ancients or that which is being
brought to us by the Papalagi (white
mem. We will follow the advice that
we shall receive
The tribe then on a given day met at
the foot of the Koroirera mountain, and
tho sacrifice vas about to be prepared
when over its highest point the sky be-
came brilliantly illuminated, while a
cross appeared in the light. Mgr. Vidal
says this cross was perfectly distinct.
while two figures We're clearly seen, one
on each side Of it, in the act Of contem-
plating the cross One Of these, he says.
was Our Lady.
The impression caused on these people
was SO great that the chief ard the
priests Of their pagan worship asked for
the Catholic missionaries to be sent to
teach them the real faith. Mgr. Vidal
gives III his account the words Of the
pagan priest, who said to him: This
cross is the sign Of new religion that
we do not vet understand. 1t is the real
religion. and it must be ours. This APP
partition took place on the Goth of last
December. AID the whole Of this tribe
has since been converted. A large cross
has been erected on the topof the noun
tain to commemorate the miracle. The
missionary fathers are also working
with great success among the other
tribes on the islands and are making
many conversions.

Whit to do with Trunks.

In the small rooms into which many
people are crowded at summer resorts,
trunks are usually found to be an unmiti-
gated nuisance; not only in the way, but
also liable, unless treated with the utmost
respect and caution, to intiict jagged
rents in gowns-for who can guarantee
the integrity of a trunk s bands and cor
ners after it has been in the hands of a
baggage smasher?
All this can be avoided by utilizing the
trunks as pieces of furniture. In the fol-
lowing suggestions many hints that will
prove useful at home the year round
may be found. Make covers of different
kinds and styles for all your trunks, ac-
cording to their size and shape. Low
steamer-trunks serve as comfortable d.
vans when covered with a cushion, which
should be just the size of the top of the
trunk and filled with hair, moss, excel
sior or cotton batting; denim, cretonne,
cotton crepe or Canton flannel may be
used for the cover, and valance OF the
stuff, just clearing the floor, should be
sewed all around it. Your little dlNan
will take the place of two chairs and be
vastly more comfortable than the regula-
ton, straight backed, high, cane-seated
affairs found in country hotels and board
ing houses.
large, high, tlat-topped trunks are
easily converted into tables by laying
over the top piece of stout pasteboard
or a thin board, and covering either with
a silk rug, table-coVer, or with cretonne.
If the batter be used it is best to shape It to
fit the trunk, cutting piece the size OF
the top, and putting on the slde-plece
without fullness, but with just little
spring at the corners. y rug is some

passed away,
To the home knew in childhood, when my life
was free and gay.
Though my years not ten did number when |
left those scenes of yore,
Yet my soul, with JOY, remembers much of boy
hoods gathered lore.
All the sights seemed as familiar as when !, a
careless child,
Trod with restless feet the meadows and the
wood and mountain wild;
Saw again the beauteous river, winding slowly
to the sea,
That in years before had thrilled me with its
magic mystery;
Looked once more upon the pondlet where,
from home a runaway,
My fond mother often found me angling through
the long, long day.
And the old house, with its shingles blackened
long by storm and wind,
Brought host of pleasant memories OF the
years left far behind
All the features of the landscape little change
had taken on
Here and there tree had grown up, now and
then found one gone,
And the river with lis winnings seemed about
the same to me,
save, perhaps where bar had shifted or an Isle
had ceased to be
Fen the picturesque old homestead, that in
year. gone by we'll known,
seemed to be the same a. ever, though a little
older grown:
But alas where are tn" Inmates that knew

Who were wont to please my fancy with some

There to move forever onward with advancing

Gone where man by endless progress shall in

An Altar on Mont Blanc.

The Rev. Jean BONN, the parish priest
of st. Didier, last month left Courma-
yeur, Piedmont, with three companions,
two of them priests, and with three
guides, to make the ascent of Mont Blanc.
They took with them stone for an altar
which had been consecrated by the arch
bishop of Turin for the purpose. They
started on a Wednesday evening and
were overtaken by bad weather, having
to pass the night at the last shelter. The
following day they reached the summit,
where they celebrated mass, and returned
10 Courmayeur by half past the same
evening. Father BONN is native of
Challand in the valley of Aosta.
