AS grown up folks are divided on the
question of what is proper and what is
not proper to do on the Sabbath, per

were freshly dressed and were evident
ly out upon the steps for breath, Of
air after their dinners. The younger
one, full of the joy of living, was work
ing off some of her youthful spirit by
walking up one side Of the stone steps
and down the other.
"Oh, you oughtn't to do that on Sun
day. 1t isn't right, and your mamma
won't like it. That's what they call
breaking the Sabbath" said the older
one, about twelve years old She was
standing still and looking very re-
proachfully at her companion.

The master Of an elementary school
in England sent circular to the par
ents Of some Of the pupils under his
charge stating that judicious corporal
punishment often had beneficial ef-
feet on backward boys and asking If
they would approve of such course
when he considered it necessary. The
following is one of the replies he got:

The Peking Gazette. speaking of Chi
nese in foreign lands, says:
I'VE dress and speak differently from
foreigners, just as foreigners do who
come to China. But nobody in the
streets calls us Chinese devils The
children in the streets wish to see how
long our cues are, but the police,
seeing them annoy us, scatter them.
When we go into a shop to buy any
thing, we are treated with even more
consideration than their own people.
We enter their homes, 1t is the same.
They seek to please us In every way,
show us curios or play the organ or
piano for us. The writer has been to
France, England, America, Japan,
Spain and South America and stayed
years, and everywhere he was treated
with the same courtesy"
1t is to be feared that some Chinese
laundrymen in this country would not
wholly indorse this view.

old Table Rules.

John RUSSELL gentleman some time
member Of the household Of Humphrey
Duke of Gloster, was perhaps one of
the first to give in his Book Of Ma
ture'' Q4OD instructions as to the lay
Ing of tables.
The cloths were to be creaseless, not
with the appearance of having been
lain upon; knives were not to be wiped
on the cloth. Apparently there were
scanty articles of practical use for the
guests at that time, but etiquette and
elaborate rules came in on the subject
of carving and serving various pieces,
which it was seemly to choose for this
or that guest The upper crust Of the
loaf was for the lord;;'' also the wing
of capOn.
Among indigestible and undesirable
things were fiat, sinews, hair, skin,
feathers, heads. pinions, legs and out
sides of thighs" The different express
sions, such as taking Off the leg of a
capon, pulling" another birds wing.
ETC., are not without intention and
most practical indeed.
Some of the works on the subject,
with their well designed plates show
ing the sections for carving where the
knife should travel, might still belstud.

and yet the result would be good
quite as correct as our methods. which,
like all the rest, are not new.

1894; to Nice in 1855 and back to Turin in
1913. This last move was made by order
of Duke Emmanuel Hilbert who wished
70 shorten the. journey necessary in order
TO venerate the relic. During the siege Of
Turin G706) the relic was Struggled out
of the city by a body of devout priests
and concealed in Genoa. Later it was
returned to Turin, where it has remained
ever since.
Six times during the present century
have followers of the church been blessed
with a sight of the sacred Sindon- on
the first occasions the exhibitions were
private and for the benefit Of Pope Plus
VII. The pope stopped at Turin while on
his way to France TO attend the corona
ton Of Napoleon / and saw the shroud
for the first time. He visited it again,
which was an action of extreme piety,
while on his way back to his states in
triumph in 1915.
When Charles Felix began his reign the
relic was exposed to view for the third
time. 1t was again seen at the wedding
Of the Crown Prince Victor Emmanuel
II, and later, in 1865. at the wedding Of
Crown Prince HumbeIt I. The last ocea-
sion was a year ago. From May % to
June 2. 1898. it was seen in connection
with the exposition OF sacred art. and
Catholic works and missions.
It was during this last exposition that
the pope granted permission TO photo
graph the wonderful relic. During the
operation a specially appointed guard of
high church dignitaries was present 10
avoid any possibility Of accident.
Shortly after the second negative from
the Sacred Sindon was placed in the
treasury in Turin Bishop Then, of Costa
Rica, visited New York and became the
guest of the Lazarist Fathers. who have
charge of st. Johns college and seminary,
at the corner Of WnIoughby and Lewis
avenues IN Brooklyn.
The hospitality he had received from
the good priests Of Brooklyn the bishop
did not forget. He went from New York
to Rome, and there was able to secure
possession of the precious prints from the
second negative. He despatched II to the
Lazarist Fathers. They had it enlarged
and placed the copy in the chapel of the
Holy Agony. where it is much visited.
IN this way has it come about that there
exists in New York copy Of the strange
photograph which is 50 deeply interesting
France. and about which there is so
strange and mysterious a story.
