MEDIEVAL PREACHING.
Sermons. Though Preserved in Latin.

sermons. IhOuEh Preserved in Latin
Were Delivered in the VernacuIar.
From the Catholic World.
The Puritans were not, as has been sup
posed, the inventors of extemporary
preaching; the practice was distinctly me-
diaeval. and was stopped about the time
of Elizabeth. AS to the language, we meet
with difficulties to determine which were
in Latin and which in the countless dia-
lects of the day, which so continually iuc-
tuated, both to the speaking and the
writing, that it is a matter of wonder how
the missionaries could, in many cases, have
done the work they are credited with, un-
less we presuppose on the part of the
masses much greater knowledge of Latin
II an is commonly supposed. This, how
ever, would seem to be probable, namely
that the 'sermones ad Populum' of the
| eighth, ninth and tenth centuries were gen.
orally delivered In the vernacular and ex-
temporary, and afterward translated into
Latin either by the orator himself or some
hearer.
What will strike the average non-Cath-
olic as so very strange, in view of the cur
rent opinion to the opposite, is the almost
marvellous grasp of Scripture of the typical
mediaeval preacher whether we consider
the number of quotations. their variety or
the Interpretation of the same Neale esti-
| mates as 10 to / the ratio between a me-

when We turn to the manner Of citation

The second prominent characteristic of
mediaeVal preaching was its practical.

appealing to the masses. Their popularity
with the latter would be sufficient proof Of
this assertion, even If we had not the SER

MANS CLOTHES.
What He Wears Costs Less Than What
He Eats.


He Eats.
From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
Comparatively, what a man wears does
not cost so much during lifetime when
you come to think of it, said an observant
citizen, and, as matter of fact, the aver
age, l suppose, will be surprised by the
ngures. or course, the man who attempts
to keep UP with the procession of the ultra
fashlonables must necessarily spend a good
sum OF money during his lifetime. He
must humor the changing moods of the
men who set the pace in fashion. He must
nave the very latest thing out. His coat
must be the proper cut his hat the proper
shape, his trousers Just so and his tie the
proper color But there are many men in
the world who cannot pay so much respect
to fashion, and hence we may strike an
average between the two extremes in
dress ~
I'VE will put the case alphabetically and
assume that a nan,lives to be thirty-five
years of age. We will assume that he will
wear the clothes of a grown man for this
length of time. On an average 1 suppose
q man will wear out six shirts during a
year, or a total of 210 in a lifetime Sun
pose he pays 70 cents each for them. This
would be $3.50 a year, or $157. so that he
would pay out in a lifetime of thirty-five
years. He would wear out twelve collars
year, or 420 in thirty-five years. and if
he wore the cheaper, grade Of collars-15-
cent collars-heg would spend the sum Of
S63 in thirty-fve years. Allowing two
whole suits of rlothes a year, he would
need In lifetime seventy suits, and at the
average cost of, $50 a suit he would spend
In this way 81 400 in thirty-five years If
we allow him an average of four suits
OF underwear year, he would need 40
SUITS and at the nominal price of 81 a
suit they would cost him $14O in thirty-five
years. Two hats every twelve month
would mean a total of seventy hats, and if
ne paid an average of So each for them
the total number would cost him 500 His
SHOES, allowing him two pairs a year and
nx1ng the cost at 81 a pair would cost
him $3.50 in lifetime. Now on this basis
OF calculation man would spend about
$3.50 In lifetime for clothes There are
OF course, many men who spend much
more than this amount and there are many
men who spend much less. But this cal
culat1on may be taken as a reasonable
average.
1T will be observed that neckties. socks
suspenders. garters and things of that sort
are not taken into consideration lam
dry bills, cleaning, mending and other
things which Increase the cost of a mans
wearing apparel are not considered. These
costs would probably double the figures
and in some instances, as in the case NJ
shlrts and collars, the original cost of the
articles would be nothing in comparison to
the cost Of keeping them.
But taking all things into consideration
a. mans wearing apparel will cost him less
than the food that he eats. Supnose
man is allowed three meals each daT At ,ha
nominal cost Of 25 cents a meal. in thirtv-
fVe years he would spend about so 45o for
food or about four times the amount -
would spend for clothes

FORTUNES In RICE.
Vast Possible Wealth Wasted fin q
Matrimonial Custom.
From the New Orleans Times Democrat.


''If fellow throws an old shoe filled with
rice after you when you get married this
writer, young man, go pick every grain
of 1t up" said a rice enthusiast, for there
is fortune in It. | was just thinking to-
day about the vast amount of wealth that
has been wasted in this way. and II is
simply alarming when you come to think
of it. 1 went to the convention OF rice men
al Crowley recently, and 1 learned a few
things about rice that / never knew before
Why, the possibilities of a grain OF rice
will actually make fellows head swim.
Here is a grain which l have been car
rying In my pocket since the convention,
purely for illustrative purposes. 1
reading in the Plaquemines Protector that
one grain of rice would bring in the first
year sixty punches of rice, and that each
bunch contained 80 grains, which would
give a total yield of 1900 grains for the
first year. Now. this is no small thing
when you come to think of it. Suppose we
plant the 15,uo grains the second year on
the same basis We would have yield of
225Ooo,003 grains, which is 1900 times
1000. Now, the yield during the third
year would amount to 10000 times 5000
900. on the same basis Of computation,
which would be 3,315, 10000 grains OF rice.
Now, l was reading In another paper pub
lished in the rice section that there are
probably 10000 grains Of rice to the pound,
but this is an approximation. Adopting II
grain of rice will produce :i37 800 900 pounds
of rice, and the rice mathematician, al
lowing 162 pounds for a barrel of rice fig
ures that this will amount to 2,0Si,333 bar
relS.
80 you can see that am actually car
rying a fortune around here in my vest
pocket and there is plenty of room left,
too for such other things as l may want
to put into my pocket. In these figures L
have made no allowances for those things
which sometimes happen to any kind OF
seed that may be sown, but there is a good
lesson in the calculation at that. When we
come to think about the number of grains
of rice that have been wasted In the happy
practice of tossing old shoe after the
newly married couple we are almost
shocked at the extravaganza of the world
The rice thrown away in this way since the
custom was first launched, would have
saved the lives of all the people who have
ever starved to death since the world be-
gan If it had been allowed to reach its full
multiplying possibilities So i saw young
man, when the old shoe is thrown after
you go pick every grain of rice up settle
down where rice will grow, and get rich"

South CarOlfna's Confederate Rolls

fTom tne eolumDla 10.
The effort to do something now before Il
is too late to perfect the confederate rolls
of South Carolina and preserve them is
being pushed before the general assembly
There is a great deal to be accomplished
and IL 1t is to be accomplished at all It
must be done at once. The general plan
that the confederate veterans and the
daughters and sons have decided upon will
necessitate some expenses. and the legisla-
ture is asked to appropriate the money
necessary. The present rolls are in con-
stant use, and are in danger of being abso-
lutely worn out from daily lingering. The
attention of the general assembly has been
called to this by the custodian. who has
made the suggestion that they be printed
in book FORM and adds that the sale of the
books would probably pay for the expense
incurred. The printing of these rolls in this
way will of course greatly facilitate the
work that the veterans organization wishes
to undertake.

This was one Of the early problems that
confronted the new building inspector. He
readily recognized the substantial manner
of the wall and on its merits, as he stated
saw no reason why permission should pot
be granted. but on the other hand he was
obliged to carry out the regulations as they
now stand and said 1t was not his personal
province to amend them. Besides there was
danger Of establishing the precedent. It
might be that architects would purposely
design long walls with bay windows and
recesses and buttressed angles il allow ed
to make them thinner
Capt. Harding, assistant engineer COM
missioner, stated that from a practical
eommon-sense point there was no getting
away from the fact that a wall built with
tne inoentations and return angles as
snoWn was stronger than a plain straight
