Place Where There Is Nothing Hardship Modification Spirit

yestigated by the mother house and regu- lated This keeps a large staff at work, for there are many of these, and the monks must go from abbey to abbey investigat- ing. @fsss sszss
 Tine Abbey of Gethsemane in Kentucky is located in the village of Gethsemane, about fcrty-eight miles south of Louisville, and was founded in the year 1S4S- by fifty Trap pist monks who were sent from France. While the war was going on the buildings were being erected and some idea of their size can be estimated from the fact that though they are of the plainest structure, they cost over a quarter of a million dol lars
 The object of the mona stery is primarily that of prayer and fasting after the rules of the Catholics, but it also carries on an immense charitable and educational work which is known to the clergy, and is of inestimable benefit to them throughout the world It is "Silent City" for one of its unless they are obliged to do so. Being silent, the sounds from it do not often reach the outside world, but its influence is nev- ertheless great in religious circles.
 The new conner, Brother Edmund, took the inner VOWS of the monastery and hence forth he will live upon two scanty meals day without meat. He will take his food out of a bowl and eat-with the rudest in- struments. All day he will work hard in the fields, and at night he will pray, for he will have only four hours sleep out of the twenty-four. It is said that the monks work so hard in the fields that out of the HOO acres included in the abbey property they get a greater crop than out of any other 1,700 acres in Kentucky, and the yield has been estimated as high as that taken from any 5000 acres.
The age-herald., 1898-11-24

The monks teach school and educate young men to be priests, but one of the main objects of their work is that of wait ing upon heart-sore and body-sick strang- CTS who have fled to them for refuge.
 It must not be supposed that the earthly holidays pass unobserved at this mon- astery; but here instead of feasting, they are days of fasting. Thanksgiving is a day Of prayer with them, and so are Christmas and Easter. While you are eating turkey the monks will be praying and fasting.
 Brother Edmund, the new monk, has shown himself very self-denying. He has been constant in prayer for eight years, constant in work and constant in actual benevolence. Now he can continue his work uninterruptedly until the number of his days Is counted out and the angel of death comes and knocks at his door. Then the white cowl is placed over his face and his body Is clad in robe of spotless white. He is laid upon a bed of sacred ashes and in silence his body is consigned to a nar- row grave. The cemetery is just outside the abbey and the grave is marked by a rough cross. As one grave Is filled another Is dug so that an open grave stand always waiting.
 Some famous people have joined the order of the Trappists. Brother Joseph, who sleeps in one of the graves, was a famous baritone in French opera; he taught music to Nellie Grant-Sartoris. Father Edmund, a recent Abbott, was of royal French blood. One of the brothers was millionaire mer- chant; one of the fathers was a famous gold miner twenty years ago; for different reasons they gave up the world and drifted to the Trappists, where, after two years of life as a novice, they were admitted to monastic duties.

lessness, and Admiral Dewey ignores it. but it shows a strong under-surface feel ing powerful enough to cause Dewey anxiety.
 General Merritt went to the peace com mission with a plan for stopping all this. With the Philippines Rcrongly American, with the stars and stripes waving over Manila, there would be no anxiety any where, for all insurgents could be quieted speedily.
 But it is not settled yet and Dewey can only act semi-oflicially. He is to hold his
 post at the Philippines and keep away the Germans and other powers who might wish to eneroach. But as for the Insurgents, they are like spoiled children and they must be treated, coaXed, punished and diplomatized until they are either grown to size and power which they would soon be if we should acknowledge them, until such time we elect to discipline them. But just now they make anxious day for Dewey.
 To make the holiday real Thanksgiving, Admiral Dewey's home friends have done not a little. A great cargo of American provisions went to Manila nearly month ago and they were of a sort that would keep; just such provisions as every far seeing Jerseyite, and every prudent New Englander puts up in October for Thanks giving.
 Michigan mutton and Maine turkeys were part of the cargo. Admiral Dewey spec ially requested that his men have all the turkey they could eat; and this meant a great many birds for he has five thousand good American sailors and soldiers with him in the Philippines. He also requested Bermuda onions, the sort they raise in Florida and cranberries of the kind that grow in the bogs of Cape Cod. And he got them Did you hear about the crates of the former and the barrels of the latter that were "headed up'' at San Franeisco's wharf three weeks ago and put aboard the supply and passenger ship-enough to make the mouth of the boys aboard, water!
 Such Thanksgiving delcacies as turnips. radishes. celery, squash and canned peas and asparagus are strangers to the Philip pines, but they will be there just the same this Thanksgiving day. The cargo was worth $5,000 before it was shipped, for you can get great many of these vegetables for comparatively small sum, and 1t went in wooden crates all slated to keep the vegetables from rotting.
 The commssary department proposed purchasing the Thanksgiving dinner from Asia and Europe, where nearly all these things can be found. But it was found that the Chinese railroad connections were incomplete and the chances for delay great so 1t was decided after all that they should come from home.

Gethsemane, Ky, November 23.-Your correspondent happened to be present the other day at the greatest religious cere- mony of the century from a brotherhood standpoint. The event was the admission of mana mere mortal-into the sacred ranks of the internal brotherhood of the famous monks of Kentucky. From being a mortal subject to temptation such as you and are, he had gone through long pro- bation, until he had proved to the brother hood that he could become one of the elect. Others more famous than he had tried and failed.
 Hearing that such a ceremony was likely to take place your correspondent secured admission to the guest department of the nearly as it Is permitted an outsider to witness. the remarkable scene.
 Kentucky, the state made famous in TO- nance and actuality, the state of gallant men and beautiful women, the home of the thoroughbred and the moonshiner and the birthplace of great statesmen, has within it's limits, another feature, differing from all others as much as black differs from white.
 Kentucky has one of the two great mon- asteries In North America. At Gethsemane the Trappist monks have a great colony or reservation in which schools are conducted and where priests learn to take their vows and monks to live a life of good works.
 The monks home is called the Silent City; here they live life of the most rigid seif-denial and penance. So different is

without the delicacy. Accordl gly, she
 made batch of excellent pies, aud baked
 them ''whte,'' as New Englanders do.
 1len she froze them, and, finally as cold as ice, she packed thee into big tin box
 into which holes had been bored. and re- packed the box in wood. This she shipped as special gift to her boy far away
 When he gets it he is to open the tin and
 re-bake the pies until they are lovely, brown, which takes just fifteen minutes in a warm oven. Full directions accompany the box, ending with 'eat hot" There are
 not enough pies to supply the regiment, but enough to make dozen boys very well contented. Dewey's men have never known
 the bangs of starvation and have never been driven to eating raw beans soaked in
 water la the reported Santiago feasts,
 for the Philippines give fruit if nothing else, but the home delicacies will be appre- ciated just the same.
 After Dewey conquered Cavite he stood looking at the fort and his eye wandered over the island. He said to nearby of- nation." But the nation has meant trouble and anxiety to him as well as satisfaction. He has never lain down a night secure against the foe. At first it was the Span- ish, now the Filipinos.
 By way of a Thanksgiving gift Unt sam sends Admiral Dewey two splendid war ships, one of which ,the Oregon, is a veritable floating fort, second to none on the seas. He also sends several transport ships, laden with troops and a supply of ammunition. Spain objects to the gift, but what is she going to do about it?
 If all goes well Admiral Dewey. will take his Thanksgiving dinner in the house of the former governor of Cavite, now con- verted into a dwelling. He will be waited upon by Chinese servants and his guests will be his officers and distinguished for eigners of Cavite and Manila. A private letter received from sailor aboard the Olympia stated that an invitation had been to Admiral Dewey to take his holiday dinner aboard the Olympia, and the s chef had promised home dinner such as - Admiral Dewey had not tasted since he left New York and his family
 On holiday occasions the admiral, who Is I very punctiious in matters of etiquette wears all his full dress with all his medals and badges of honor upon him. The full dress of an admiral is striking costume, which sheds radience over any feast It is second only to that of the lord mayor, and more imposing than the judge in his robes without the wig.

their existence that only two or three times a century is their number increased. Two weeks ago the Rev. Edmund Obrecht, hav- ing passed through the long years of prep aration was admitted to the Silent City under the name of Brother Edmund. From this time on he will live after the VOWS of his religion, expiate the crimes of the world and pray for the future of his fellow men.
 It is doubtful if much of the world knows of this famous abbey. Unless you have been in trouble you might never have heard of 1t; but if great affiiction has visited you and you have wanted to die then your physician-if yau are a southerner-may have prescribed Gethsemane for you-if you are man; and perhaps you have en- joyed the rare privilege of secreting your self from the world there for time
 Crawford in a remarkable magazine ar ticle written by hints of a convent which turned into a disappearance syndicate. Here people who wished to vanish from the world could go and live quietly for the rest of their days at a cost that, to people liv- ing in the world, seems really nominal. For a dollar or so per week, ones daily eating expenses, a man could pass the rest of his life there, devoting himself to literature, prayer and outdoor industry, seeing no one nor being seen.
 Gethsemane is a similar home, but diff ferent; still a place where the worn out can go and get refreshed in body and soul.
 The Order of the Trappist is one of the most, if not the most famous, in history. It came originally from France, where the Trappists call themselves the Reformed Cistercians of Our Lady da la Trappe. All other abbeys are under the Jurisdiction of the mother house, located in France. Every two years the affairs of the abbey are in-
