July Cold A Years Ago.

''Mr. E. J. Luckie of Forest Home was in ito renew his subscription few days ago." writes General James Berney Stan ley, the distinguished editor of the Green vile Advocate, "and while here MT. Luclzie told us that there were two days in the month of July which he will never forget. One was in 1857 on the 4th of the month, and the other was the 12th. 1901. The first was the coldest he ever spent, and the other was the hottest day he ever felt. In 1857 the weather was so cold that the people who had met to celebrate the day had to have fires to keep them com fortable, and instead of eating the dinner under the shade of the trees they sought the sunshine. On July 12th, 1901, the breeze was so hot that people had to seek the interior of the house for com fort.''
 Well, one should pause to hesitate a few!

St. Anne's Day.

July 25 is dedicated in the Catholic calendar to St. Anne, mother of the vir- gin," says a churchman. "She is the pat | roness of Canada, and her shrine at the church of Beaupre, near Quebec, Is the Lourdes of the New World. attracting pilgrims from all parts of America The only relic is that of a fragment of fin- ger bone of St. Anne, taken there in 1868. It was long the custom of ships to stop in front of the little town and fire a broadside in honor of Canada's patroness. In the old French days the whole shore was lined with Indian wigwams, and the more devout of the converts would crawl on their knees from the river bank to the altar.
 "Every year there has been a steady in- crease in the number of visitors. A year or two ago a party of fifty or more went from St. Paul and Minneapolis and all claimed to have been relieved of ailments by asking her prayers. The Redemptorist Fathers are In charge of the church, and sermons are preached in many different languages, as occasion requires. The present church is a most handsome struc- ture, costing nearly quarter of a million dollars It is surrounded by a number of beautiful lateral chapels, and along the
 road are small chapels. In front of the church is splendid statue of the saint.
 The church contains many pictures of ships representing marvellous deliverances from storms through the aid of St. Anne,
 and another feature is the large collec- ton of crutches, canes, speotacles and so on, left by those who suddenly found they

A Dead Mother.

"A holy mother was buried in the Cath ollie cemetery, from Father Muerer's S Church of Our Lady of Sorrows, this af- ternoon and a sadder funeral has not talk en place in the valley at any time," said a good woman of true piety yesterday evening.
 .sThis dead sister of us all was physi- caliy and spiritually alike wonderfully beautiful, and her passing Is doubly sad, because her life might have been saved. Her little baby-tfe ninth one born to her
 was only five days old when death came to her yesterday. The family are poor, and they never had a medical man when either of the children was born; husband and wife both being rather skilled In deal- ing with childbirth; but in this instance something wasn't done that ought to have been done, and the result Is calamitous
 "Doctor - saw the sweet and brave mother a few days before the last child was born, and he said to her gently and generously,
 "'You'n need a doctor
 ".Ah, mo- she said. We are poor; we haven't the money to pay doctor
 let money to pay the doctor pc the last thing you think of he urged her Command me at any time, and there are a plenty of other doctors whom you car summon, and they'll not trouble you fol pay
 .'The good soul did not take this good doctors advice. Father Muerer gave he, the grave, and the Society of Ladies of Charity of St. Paul's Church took charge of the arrangements flor the funeral. The mother was buried with all the honors oi the Catholic Church that the church could have given to an empress. Nine children are motherless, except only the motherhood of their Mother Church. and the youngest of them Is but six days old and these are poor In everything earthly save the abundant love of the church God will pity the orphans!

Good Women Mourn Good Woman.


 Scores of good women and men of Pratt City came to Birmingham night before last and went to St Vincent's Hospital to pay the last tribute of their love to Mrs. Reilly, the wife of Hon. A. J. Reilly, a representative of Jefferson county in .he Alabama Legislature.
 All night long these faithful ones, whom the dead woman had served in life, wait ed outside that splendid palace of charity on the Birmingham hill for the loving pri' i''ilege of standing in line when the hearse fin the early dawn should bear the sleeping form of their faithful friend away to the railway, which was to con- vey the remains to Philadelphia
 Many years ago Mrs. Reilly went to Pratt City young bride. She was su- perbly beautiful, and she was nobly good. Her generous spirit, her great goodheart- edness, passed at once into proverD amongst the strangers whom she came from Philadelphia to dwell amongst, and whom in day she made her friends. This radiant and happy bride took those peo- pie, with their sorrows and their joys, to her good heart and they loved her and reverenced her as if she were veritable Princess Charming. When care came to any one of them, she made it her care.
 So the other week when the long threatening illness drove her to St. Vim cents Hospital, the real harbor of refuge to the afflicted. all Pratt City grieved, and those people have continued to grieve whilst hoping without hope. Every day, almost every hour, through the long weeks some of them begged the Sisters of Charity for word of cheer from the chamber of the sufferer
 And the watchers watched all night long outside the great hospital; and yes terday every heart in Pratt City was sad.
