Fields. Mimi, has been discovered a
singular group of giants kettles or
potholes, covering an area of two or
three acres and ranging in diameter
from less than a foot to twenty-five
feet and in depth from one foot to
eighty-four feet. They have been
bored in exceedingly hard rock and in
many cases they are like wells in
shape, the ratio OF width to depth
varying from 1 to 5 up to to Z.

A university for women in Tokyo,
Japan, has lately been opened. Count
Okuma, in an address which formed a
part of the dedicatory exercises, ex-
pressed social and educational views
which could not be surpassed for lib
erality by the leaders Of thought in
our own country or England. When
our women are educated" he said,
"our nation will be twice as strong as
It is now. The countries which have
tried to get along with standard
which applies only to the education OF
men have fallen conspicuously behind
in the race Of human progress" AS IL
Illustrations he named Egypt, Turkey
Persia and China. The count admit
ted that society In Japan was disfg-
ured by many abuses. The remedy, in
his opinion, lies in radical reform Of
the ideals of family life, which can be
effected only by such an improvement
in the status of women as the new
university will bring about.

JOHN BOYLE O'REILLY.
REV. J. A. Anderson, o. S. A"
The story of what followed this let
ter is interesting Father Anderson
accompanied by some friends, jour
neyed to Dowth churchyard, and after
much labor discovered the stone men
toned by Boyle O'Reilly on which his
initials had been scratched some thirty
years previously. 1t was O'Reilly's
wish to be buried at Dowth, That wish
was not realized; but Father Anderson
did what he considered best under the
circumstances. and he forwarded to
America the little stone from Dowth
which can now be seen inserted in the
rock over the late patriots grave.
Father Anderson and the men of
Drogheda have taken up the project
with enthusiasm, as the following re-
port of a meeting held in the commit
tee rooms of the Clever branch of the
Gaelic League, John street, Dublin. to
take steps to push forward the move
ment to have monument erected in
Dowth churchyard to commemorate
the memory of John Boyle O'Reilly,
will show.
The Very Rev. j. A. Anderson, o. S.
A.. presided, and there were present,
amongst many others: Messrs- Luke
j. Elcoek, T. c., Drogheda; Michael
A. Casey, editor Drogheda Indepen-
dent; j, Mcguire, Dublin; F, NOLAN, A.
Murphy, j. ]. Carroll. ]. Cunningham,
and j. j. Moonan, honorable secretary
of the Dublin committee.
Mr.. Casey proposed the following res
olution:
Whereas, 1t is meet that Irishmen
Should suitably perpetuate the memory
OF the land of his nativity of John
Boyle O'Reilly, poet, scholar, benefac-
tor and patriot; be it resolved, that
a suitable monument be erected at
Dowth churchyard County Meath) to
replace the original stone taken from
the wall of that cemetery-which
marked the spot there underneath
which the great and noble-souledI
Irishman. expressed an cherished
wish to he inferred, and on which
stone, since placed over O'ReiTly's
grave in Boston. the dead patriot him
self in his early years carved his ini-
tials.''

Surprising Tricks.

An amusing effect can be produced
by the aid of some matches, soap and
sugar and basin OF water. Place the
matches on the surface of the water
in the form of a star, with their heads
near each other; into the water at the
center of this star thrust a piece of
soap pointed at the end. Behold! All
your matches begin to move off; they
depart suddenly, as if they had hor-
ror of soap. Now, if you wish to coax
them back, offer them piece of sugar
by placing or dipping it in the water
and you viii see all your matches rap
idly moving toward It.
To pierce nickel with a needle
seems a difficult feat, but it is easy if
you know how. Insert a needle in a
cork, so that the point is just appar-
ent, and if the needle projects at the
other end, snap off the remainder of
il with a pair of shears. Now place
your nickel on a couple of wooden
blocks, so that the needle may go down
between them after it is driven through
the nickel Place your prepared cork
upon the nickel and strike it a sharp
blow with a heavy hammer. The
needle, being unable to bend either
way owing to the support of the cork,
is forced downward, and will pierce a
nickel, or even silver quarter, with
the greatest of ease.

AUNT BUSY HAS HER SAY.

Dear Nieces and Nephews;
The merry tide of Christmas is fast
approaching; there will be children's
voices heard in joyous song and play;
mistletoe, holly and evergreens, turkey,
plum pudding, candies, nuts and every
thing to make you happy. But, dear
children, do not forget that the surest
way to be truly happy is to make some
one else happy; so if you know any
poor, forlorn little ones who will not
have much happiness at Christmas,
remember to help them. Make a few
sacrifices; save your pocket money,
and instead of buying candy, etc, for
yourselves, make a present to some
one who will be perhaps forgotten, and
you will feel doubly happy on Christ
mas day to know that you have con-
tributed to the happiness Of a fellow
being
Aunt Busy does not want to preach,
but. dear children, we are all too selfish
in this world. Well, selfish is not a
nice word; thoughtless sounds better;
and if we are thoughtless we may
soon become selfish. And another thing
TO remember. dear children! AT this
time of the year there is so much work
to be done at home, and the dear, tired
mothers have most Of the burden. How
you can help them by being little
thoughtful! Be gentle, polite and
obedient; do every little task assigned
you, and you will be rewarded tenfold
by the, loving appreciation of the dear
ones.
Well. this is all for this time, dear
children. and when you read this usual
Aunt Busy lecture, just say away
down in your dear, true childish hearts,
II am going to be nice and good TO
father. mother, grandparents, auntS,
uncles, cousins and everybody.
AUNT BUSY.

Church Feasts and Ceremonies.

Dear Children: Besides the Sacra-
ments and prayer, the Christian has
also powerful means of salvation and
sanctification in the feasts. the cere-
monies, and religious exercises of the
Church.
The Church, always inspired by the
spirit of her divine spouse, has insti-
tuted feasts and sacred ceremonies,
% to render worship more solemn and
wcrthier of the divine majesty; 90 to
instruct and edify the faithful, aiding
them by these attractive and easy
means to comprehend and love re-
ligion. Christian ceremonies are the
outward forms, the religious observ-
ances, and, in general, all that formal
ity with which the Church publicly
honors the majesty of God. 1t consists
either in actions, as genuhections,
signs of the cross; or in words as
prayers, hymns, chants; or in objects
presented to the eye, as sacred vest
ments of the altar All the ceremon-
les which belong to any one particular
service are called rite: for example,
the rite of the mass, the rite of bap-
tism the sum total of all the rites of
religion is public worship, or the
Christian liturgy.
With these special ceremonies the
Church celebrates her feasts. Each
feast has its particular character, its
ceremonies, and its color. There are
five liturgial colors; white, red, green,
violet and black. White, the symbol
of innocence, of grace and glory, is
used on Easter and the other feasts of
Jesus Christ, of His blessed mother,
as also on the feasts of saints who are
known as confessors and virgins,
Red, the color of fire and blood. is re-
served for Pentecost and the feasts of
martyrs. Green signifies hope. Vio-
let, penance. Black, mourning and
prayer for the dead.
By these different colors we are thus
enabled to understand the character of
the festivals which the Church cele-
brates, as they give to each its proper
appearance.
The ecclesiastical year is as it were
a series of feasts, which present by
turns to the eyes of the Christian the
principal mysteries of his faith, the
dearest objects of his love. This series
of feasts and solemnities begins with
the holy season of Advent, towards the
end of the month of November.
With Advent begins the ecclesiasti-
cal year. Let US endeayor, dear chill
dren, to accompany the Church in the
celebration of her feasts: Thus let us
sanctify, not only the whole year, but
our whole life.-Our Young People.

JOHN BOYLE o'RETLLY.
Monument to His Memory in the
Churchyard Of His Native Place.
Dublin Freeman.)

tDuplili tSSIildH.)
At long last there is every hope that
the memory of John Boyle O'Reilly will
be fittfngly honored in the land which
had his hearts devotion and his Ife's
purpose from his boyhood to the day
he died, honored and lamented by all
that was best in the great republic of
the west. His career is one that will
forever exercise a magical influence
upon the minds, of his fellow country
men. He dared and risked all for the
sake of the old land, and when the call
to arms sounded none responded more
enthusiastically than the poet and pa
triot, who is equally honored in Ire
land and America. His escape from
penal servitude is one of the most
thrilling events of the rising and the
story of his subsequent life and of the
tame which the Irish felon won in
new country is one of the brightest
heritages which the national cause can
boast. To Father Anderson, o. S. A.
an old friend of the patriot, and to the
Cleaver branch of the Gaelic League
Is to be given the credit for making an
effort to raise suitable memorial to
John Boyle O'Reilly in the churchyard
OF his native place, where he wished
his bones to rest. The inspiration to
take UP this noble work may be found
In the following letter. addressed to
Father Anderson by John Boyle
O'Reilly, and was declared by the late
Bishop McNulty to be one of the most
beautiful and touching letters he had
ever read:
Boston, Nov 7. 1884.
Dear Father Anderson-God specs;
you on your home voyagel 1 am glad
to have met you,sand I hope to meet
you again. Iififay never see Drogheda
but I send my love to the very fields
and trees along the Boyne from Dro-
gheda to Slane. Sometimes. for nv
sake, go out to Dowth, alone. and 90
up on the moat, and look away across
the Boyne over Rosarnee, to the Hill
of Tara; and turn your eyes all round.
from Tara to New Grange, and Knouth
and Slane, and Mellifont, and Old
bridge, and You will see there the pic
lures carry forever in my brain and
as the last day 1 looked
on them. If you go into the old grave
yard at Dowth you will find my mi
tails cut on stone, on the wall of the
