The Notre Dame Scholastic gives
the following sentence as a specimen
Of the aoridity of style that often
characterizes the composition of uni
versity students: "Pathos was there
to touch with delicate hand the foun-
tain of tears; the poets fancy was at
hand to paint pictures and pageants,
and over all was the wizardry of
strong, beautiful and simple speech.
Amid the sunshine of her diction, you
heard her jovial laugh. In Imagination
we still hear the gentle ripple of the
clear stream of her conversation as it
flowed delightfully."- between the banks
Of her intellect, and see the deep and
dignified dint of her footsteps OH the
rocky ridge of the hills of difficulty
That sort of rhetorical bombast re-
minds us of Frank NJ. Nye's spread
eagle efforts in behalf of Loren Flet-
cher's candidacy for congress.

In a recent address before the first
annual conference OF the industrial
Art League i'll Chicago, Archbishop
Ireland said: Love for the beautiful
is a part of virtue. In the name of
religion l should wish to see the sense
of the beautiful pervading among the
people. Let it be brought into homes
into the furniture, into the textiles,
into the dress and into the atmosphere.
Thus would we be doing religious
work if through art we lift men up
and make the world HAPPIER

fronted by Il dilemma and is consider
ing which horn Of it they will hang to.
The new education bill introduced by
the Tories and endorsed by the English
Catholics led by Cardinal Vaughan and
the Duke Of Norfolk is opposed by the
Liberals and the Nonconformists. The
measure is distasteful to the masses of
the English people outside the men,
bers of the Anglican and Catholic
churches and the Irish representatives
do not desire to antagonize them for the
sake of the Tory coercionists and Eng
lish Catholics to whom they absolutely
owe nothing. But if the bill passes,
the English Catholics will receive for
their voluntary schools 100000
from local taxation and they are en-
titled to it. Will the Irish support the
Tories or the Liberals?

Those acquainted with Indian GUS
toms know of the prominence that
feathers hold in the religious and So
cial ceremonies of the red men. Par.
ticularly among the Navajoes and Pu.
eblos are these plume emblems be-
lieyed to have the utmost efficacy for
good or bad.
All about any Pueblo town may be
seen carefully whitfield sticks, each
with a tuft of downy feathers, gener-
ally white ones, bound at the top of it..
They are prayer sticks and are quite
as curious as the prayer wheels of
Burma and the paper prayers of the
Chinese. The feathers, stick and man.
ner of tying the feathers vary accord
ing to the nature of the prayer. The
Indian who wishes to ask favor of
the "Trues" prepares his feather
prayer with great secrecy. Then, TAX
ing it TO a proper spot, he prays to
those above, and, planting his stick,
leaves it to continue his petition.

After FOrty-Five Years Of Naval Service.
Alter az years OF active duty in the
navy Rear-Admiral William T. Sampson
closed his active career at noon Satur-
day, and was officially retired in a gem
eTai order issued by the Navy Depart
menf. His retirement Saturday is under
peculiar conditions. and is without pre-
cedent IN the history Of the American
navy. Il is believed TO be without parallel
also among the navies abroad. Held by
the Navy Department TO be hero, he
gives up active service with less regret
perhaps on the part of the public than
has been shown any other officer. army
or navy, who commanded a naval sta
,ion or division during a war period. He
always has been regarded in the navy as
a man who gave his confidence to few
and did not expect il Of others.
Had Admiral Sampson been present
and conducted the battle of Santiago his
fame might have equalled that of Admit
raj Dewey, the men OF the navy believe.
When boy Sampson came 10 the Naval
Academy from Hudson. N Y, and was
graduated with Admiral |. b. Cromwell,
who also retired Saturday. President
once Of the Naval War College. Admiral
Sampson brought that institution TO a
