Rules for Lent.

The following are extracts from q
circular regulating the fasting and
abstinence for the faithful Of the
Catholic churches during Lent.
All the faithful who have completed
their twenty first year and who have
not begun their sixtieth year, and who
are not exemplified from the obliga-
ton Of fasting by sickness, hard work
or other well known reasons, are OBJ
liged to fast on all days Of Lent ex-
cept Sundays.
On those days but full meal is
allowed which should not be taken
before noon.
The holy season of Lent is time Of
prayer, Of sorrow for sin, or seclusion
from the world and its amusements
and generous almsgiving.
BY a special indult granted to the
bishops of the United States for ten
years, dating from March Is, 1890,
working Ipeople who cannot observe
easily I0e GDlIlJ1OH INV VI tnt tuulDb
are dispensed from the obligation OF
fasting on all days of the year except
Fridays, Ash Wednesday, Holy Week
and Christmas Eve. This disDensa-
ton does not exempt from the addi-
tional obligation of fasting where
such exist, nor does it authorize the
use of fish or flesh at the same meal.
1t includes however, not only the in
diyidual workman, in whose favor it
is granted, but all the members of
their families as well. In return 1t is
expected that those who avail them
selves of this indult will endeavor to
enter into the spirit of the holy season
of modification, penance and almsgiv-
ing. A most praiseworthy custom is
that of a%bstaining during Lent from
stimulants in honor of the sacred
thirst of our Divine Savior.
Those who entertain any reasonable
doubt about their obligation to fast
or abstain, ought to apply to their
pastor or confessor for advice.

Mr.. Baldwin said that his plan was

while his men were on the march. but
that when they We're in camp and on
shipboard they would use ordinary
food. None of the expedition will be al

hoo Board Meets.

The City School Board met in re-
gular semi-monthly session in the
Second Ward school building Monday
night. Paresident Wellinger presided
and Commissioners Evans, Tabler,
Paulding and Whetzel were present.
The minutes Of the last meeting
were read by Secretary w. A.. Pitzer,
and approved by the board. A num-
Der Of bills were also read and or
dered paid.
The question of placing patent fill
ters on all the hydrants in the public
school buildings was brought mp and
discussed at length. One Of the fill
tiers has been used in the Second
Ward building and has proved salts
factory. Several Of the commits
sioners thought that by placing fill
tiers on the hydrants a large amount
Of sickness among the school children
would be prevented while others
thought that as the filters caught
only the mud and not the microbes
it would not naturally help the sani-
tray condition of the schools TO in
troduce them. 1t was decided that
there was ample room for further
investigation and action was defer
red until the next meeting.
The crowdedscondition of the third
roor, re tba Gaoopd Ward school wa
also discussed and action deferred un-
til the next meeting. The average
daily attendance in this room, under
one teacher, is sixty. Another room
will likely be fitted up and another
teacher employed at the beginning of
the next school year.
Superintendent Cole was empowered
to purchase a ream of paper and have
it cut up into convenient form at a
printing office for use in the schools.

BAD BLOOD,
BAD COMPLEXION.

The skin is the seat of an almost end
less variety of diseases. They are known
by various names, but are all due to the
same cause, acid and other poisons IN
the blood that ~irritate and interfere with
the proper action of the skin.
To have a smooth, soft skin, free from
all eruptions, the blood must be kept pure
and healthy. The many preparations OF
arsenic and potash and the large number
of face powders and lotions generally
used in this class of diseases cover up
for a short time, but cannot remove per-
manently the ugly blotches and the red,
disfquring pimples.

COLLEGE PROFESSORS
Receive Very Poor Pay for their
Work.

A college president said recently in
an address: college professors are
miserably paid. The full professor in
a New York State college. gets on an
average, salary equal to that of
railroad engineer, and an assistant
professor the same as fireman, while
an instructor is equally rewarded with
a brakeman"
Measured in dollars and cents this
is probably true, but what does it
prove? Supposing that the railroad
men should even receive more than
college instructor (the president of
railroad usually receives more than the
president of a college), has anything
yet been proved? Is the reward a col
lege professor receives to be judged
wholly by the size OF the check? Are
the advantages of a college education
all financial? President Patton, of
Princeton, when asked the question,
why young man should go to college,
save WV lSdSOhS' iSIS Ih1J a yOull6
man should have a higher aim in life
than mere money-getting; second, that
a man should try to make the most of
himself. Two somewhat similar reas-
ons might be given in reply to the
question, why a man should teach in
college. Only in this case the teacher
is trying to make the most not of him
self but of his students.
American colleges are not money
making institutions. Every college in
the country puts more money into the
student than he pays in tuit> lees
and college expenses. The profess =
who quietly declines the offer of larg-
er salary in some other institution and
continues to teach in his alma mater,
must find his greatest emolument in his
love for work and the affection of
his students. For obvious reasons the
financial side must to some extent, be
considered, but a worse thing could
hardly befall the colleges than that
men should seek professorships for the
salaries alone. The professor in the
chair and the minister in the pulpit,
who are there solely for the purpose
of making money, have mistaken their
callingl-James Melvin Lee in the
