WITHOUT A PAPER.

Our impression is that most Catholic
families. not in the habit of reading
Catholic books or papers, are already
drifting away from the Church. In
other words, the man who says: Il
don't read a Catholic paper" is apt to
have a son who will say: II don't go
to church.
We have made this statement before
and some of our readers have chal-
lenged it as rather an extreme view.
Perhaps in the middle ages it would
hardly be true; nor would it probably
apply to the conditions existing in a
Catholic country. But here, in the con-
ditions of society which surround us, it
has it's force.
The young people of the family will
read neutrality-suspicious. the dailies

haps the"Pol ice Gazette" or some 9TH

without anything to suggest interest in
Catholic progress or to cultivate a
Catholic spirit; on the contrary the in
tiuenceS furnished by their reading
may be such as to withdraw them, or
even antagonize them against the
Church. Then, add to this the influence

line it with bedding, place a pillow in
it, and swing the happy baby off to
sleep.
1t is agreed however, that a bed
which is not so heating is the best.
Many of the savage tribes, and all of
the civilized ones, build their beds in
such a. way that the sides are free and
open. Even a wooden crib has its Stats
upon the side, allowing ventilation to
reach the bedding.
In countries where wood and carpen-
try are expensive, and where grass is
cheap, they take square basket cradles
for the child, using all the tough pretty
grasses that can be found, and making
really pretty articles of furniture. The
Kaffir mothers, who are very fond OF
their children, trim the cradles with
beads, and ornament them with Wild
grass. A Kaffir baby has a fine view
of the world, for its carrying cradle is
so built that it's mead stands we'll erect
when the mother walks.

The modern cradle of our country has
its faults, but it also has IT'S virtues.

FAITHFUL CHILDREN.

How much care. trouble and anxiety,
as well as labor, can be saved by faith
full children. If they will faithfully do
what they are told, forgetting nothing,
then they become helps indeed. Some
children are to be depended upon and
trusted, and when an emergency arises,
they arefOund at duty's call It is
great thing to have a faithful child in
the house; it is a sad thing to have
rattle Drained, headstrong. sulky and
troublesome child who does mischief,
commits blunders, makes mistakes. and
causes unpleaaantnest5 in every direc-
ton. Some children will say: Il for
got" Such is d very poor excuse. A
boy does not forget a thing which in
terests him. Who ever knew a boy to
go fishing and forget his bait? Who
ever knew a girl to forget her ribbons
and ornaments? The reason people
forget things is because they do not
care about them. When we are in

THE NEED OF PRAYER.

Which one of US has not felt the

to see its results? If not substantially
in everyday life, at least can we fail
to perceive the sweetness penetrate the

are not struggling alone but her helped

There is no arbitrary rule for the Sc

vests of all materials are chosen in all

The latest agony in vests is the en-
broidered linen and those who enjoy
knitting, croeheting and sewing for
their mankind can indulge their fan
cies in the selection Of a pattern for
Une plain brown and white linen vests.
White pique can be very nicely en-
broidered in small silk crescentS of
white: and linens can be worked in red
or blue, or other color.
Applique in neat figures of dllk is al
so used. and in some cases the results
are very excellent. Tiny circles in
Turkish red taffeta were appliqued up
on a vest of old brown cloth; and an
other vest was appliqued with the
smallest diamonds in blue upon
ground of stone gray. The newest
vests are cut almost pointed in front,
with broad lapels, and with small, in
conspicuous buttons.

LIES SCHOOLING.

I sat in the school of sorrow
The Master was teaching there;
And my eyes were dim with weeping,
And my heart was full of care,
Instead of looking upward
And seeing this Face Divine,
So full of tenderest pity,
For weary hearts like mine
only thought of the burden.
The cross that before me lay,
So hard and heavy to carry
That it darkened the light of day.
So l could not learn my lesson,
And say Thy will be done,
And the Master came not near me,
And the weary hours crept on.
At last in my heavy sorrow,
I looked at the Cross above
And saw the Master watching
With a glance of tender love
He turned to the Cross before me;
l thought | heard him say:
my child, thou must bear the burden,
And learn thy task today"
81 may not tell the reason,
TITS enough for thee to know
That /. the Master am teaching
And give this cup of woe,
So | stopped to that weary sorrow;
One look at his face divine
Had given the power to trust Him,
And say-"Thy will, not mine
And thus learned my lesson,
Taught by the Master alone,
He only knows of the tears l shed
For He has wept His own.
But from them comes a brightness,
Straight from the throne above,
When the school of life will be ended,
And the Cross will show the Love.

NAL of the Story That Mrs. Dewey
Has Left the Church.


The following communication, which
bears the signature of a Catholic jour
nalist we'll known in Washington cir
cles, is self-explanatory
Editor Catholic Standard and Times:
One naturally has d right TO expect
that Americans manhood will ever re-
spect woman, and that even in the
height of a holly contested political
campaign the privacy of the firesides
of candidates will be sacred from the
pollution of the battle. And yet, when
wa glance at the history of political
campaigns in this country We find that
nothing is too sacred for the scandal
mongeTs Of the press.
What the voter should wish to know
are the principles of the candidates
their fitness for the office to which
they aspire. and their moral worth.
The home circle should most asSuredly
be spared, for as according to the old
law, "a mans house is his castle, the
threshold Of which the king with his
army cannot cross except in accord
ance with law" so it should be shielded
from the assaults of the politicians
who are ever ready to strike through
a wOman's heart to reach a political
enemy.
of this common practice in the reports
sent out from Washington relative tc
Mrs. Admiral Dewey's alleged apoStasy
from the Catholic Church The facts
as L obtained them from one competent
to speak on the subject are that Mrs.
Dewey has not left Johns Episcopal
Church; nor has she given up her pew
at ST. PauIs Catholic Church.
Whether the correction will be so
widely published as was the false
statement is doubtful, if we may Judge
from experience The authors Of this
faIsehood knew they were forging a
double-edged sword which would cut
whether the story were believed or not:
they expected the report to be denied
and the fact thus established that Mrs.
Dewey is a Catholic, trusting to the
bigotry Of the people to refuse to elect.
a. man with a Catholic wife. If the
Presidential campaign is to be inaug
urated with such untustifiable false
hoods. we may form some impression
Of what will be it's history.
When a gentleman who is in a posi-
ton to authOritatively deny this early
campaign falsehOod was asked why he
did not do so, he replied:
Mr.. Smith, what is the use to at
tempt to deny any statement politi-
clans make? If you commence by de-
nying misstatements you viii be kept

We must admit there is much truth
in this conclusion, and have corrected

OLD LETTERS.
nd old is the ribbon

Faded and old is the ribbon,
Blue once, as azure-lit skies,
Breaking in twain with untying,
A truce held to Time as ne flies.
Breathing of rhue and rosemary,
And lavender pressed in the leaves;
Yellowed and mellowed loves dreaming.
Tied in the long garnered sheaVes.
What is the harvest they bring us,
F'lotsam of life and the years?
Kissed by the dust in their sleeping,
Bathed in loves sunshine and tears.
A verse from a Iaurel-crowned poet,
A garland of faith to the fair.
A petal from roses that shattered,
A curl of baby's bright hair;
A tale of a ball in it's season,
A scrap of a gown that was worm
A confidantes news of a heartbreak,
A lovers page, tattered and torn;
A child's painful hand that was guided
To trace out its first words of love;
A message of birth and of sorrow,
A bridal song, sealed with a dove.
They futter and drift from their moorings
Like white thoughts that culver and
shine,
Dropped deep in the heart of forever,
The past that was thine and is mine.
All. ashes of roses, 1 scatter
eur memories, ever the same,
Az. ashes of roses, old letters,

Branchville, Md. April 16. 1900.

A non-Catholic contemporary gives
the appended hints to the members
of a Christian home:
1. We may be quite sure that our
will is likely to be crossed during the
day, so let us prepare for it.
2. Every. person in the house has an
evil nature as we'll as ourselves. and.
therefore, we are not to expect too
much.
9. Look upon each member OF the
family as one for whom Christ died
4. When inclined to give an angry
answer, let us lift up the heart in
prayer.
5. If from sickness, pain or infirmity
we feel irritable. let US keep a very
strict watch over ourselves.
s. Observe when others are suffering.
and drop a word of kindness
Z. Watch for little opportunities OF
pleasing, and put little annoyances out
of the way.
s. Take cheerful view OF every
thing and encourage hope.
9. Speak kindly to dependents and
servants, and praise them when you
can.
