BOW to BECOME a Saint.

Do YOU want to know how to be-
come saint? Yes? Well, listen and
I will tell you how. No doubt you are
already frightened, and feel sure 1 am
going to say it is necessary for you
to join some austere religious com
munity at once, or at least begin the
practice of heroic penance without de-
lay.
Well you are mistaken, for 1 am
going to tell you a simple way-the
ter as well as in. 1t can be expressed
in three words: Fidelity to conscience.
All those who are saved eternally
will be saved because of their fidelity
to conscience. The only thing you
need to do in order to become a saint
is to obey your conscience, and God
will do the rest :. Begin today; and
see what a wonderful change it will
make in your life. Every time your
conscience prompts you to do good, do
it; every time it tells you a thing is
wrong, don't do it. The chief differ
ence between saints and ordinary
Christians is simply this, that they al
ways obey the slightest suggestion of
the still, small voice, while others do
not This is what st. Paul meant when
he said: 'Extinguish not the Spirit"
for conscience is like a flame, which
may be blown out by willful inatten-
ton, and thus man is left, without
guide, to walk in the dark. In such a
condition it is utterly impossible to re-
main long upon the narrow path that
leads to the kingdom of heaven

BILL MANNING.

Where is he gone. the queer little man.
Who made and mended boots and shoes
Who hammered the brogues and rushed
the can.
And never finished and never began,
While the lads were discussin' the news,
Bill Manning?
Where is he? Movrone! One night at
He put out the gas and moved away,
His trade was good. for he patched so
fine.
He earned at least two dollars day!
Poor Manning.

He made a sort of Patriots club.
Night after night he'd lecture US all
To give cash or life at our countrys call,
And he barely cleared enough for his

Poor Manning.
He worked his DAYS and half of his
But never managed to forge ahead.
The deadbeats knew Door Bill to rights;
They'd only say they were Parnellites,
And he'd mend their brogues and buy
them bread.
Poor Manning.
The begging nuns never called in vain;
Why. he used to tip a Salvation lass!
He once brought a sick niger out of the
rain.
And filled him with beer to ease his pain;
And he always was first at six o'clock
mass

No wonder he bought his leather on tick,
If poor child came with a dime or

trick.

That no one saw for another year.

And was proud that Sarsfield's name was

three lemons. In another, he succeeded
In effecting a cure at twenty-five lem
onS, so complete and so persistent that
at the end of ten months the patient
had not once had an attack, whereas
previously he had suffered periodically
every month. The third case was one
of ankylosis, so bad that the patient
could not dress himself without help
Today he has almost entirely recovered
the use of his limbs, and is free from
pain.
M. Desplats has also tried this mode
of treatment on a patient suffering
from attacks of rheumatism accom-
panied by disease of the heart for
which all means adopted had proved
merely palliative. After a few DAYS
the patient experienced a manifest re-
lief of the articular symptoms, but he
also experienced pain in the upper
right side of the thoraX, the pain being
extremely great and tenacious. In an
other case there was the same inn
provement, though in less marked
degree, and the pain in the thoraX
made its appearance at the end of the
treatment. A third case gave the came
results. Another patient suffering
from rheumatism that had proved re-
fractory to salicylate and to thyroid
when treated with citric acid in doses
of from two to ten grammes daily i'm

A Sons Ingratitude.

There was a little scene in the MIN
neapolis municipal court the other day.
The picture was that of a sons ir-
gratitude to his mother. Almost so
years of age and neglected, she lad
been taken from the streets as a vag-
rant and LODGED in the Jail. Her ar
raignment followed but there was no
disposition on the part of the judge to
punish the woman. Destitute, placed
in an insane asylum and released, a
wanderer, she soon fell into the hands
of an officer, with the result as above
indicated. One of her sons thereafter
appeared and to the judges question
he answered that he had been sub
poenaed to come, but had no time to
attend to the matter. He seemed to
have lost all interest in her welfare
No time to attend to his mother! A
most inhuman act, and yet not alto
gether uncommon.-Irish Standard.

Poor Irish Farms.

writer in the London Daily Mail
describes as follows the hardships en-
dured by small farmers in one of the
poorer parts of western Ireland: 81
counted fifty-six homes in one cluster
at Cleragh. am sure that if the land
they stand on were offered in one es-
tate as free gift to the meanest little
farmer in England, he would think it
bad joke. But, as a fact, rent is
charged for it. Between them the fifty
six farmers pay, at very moderate
computation, $50 or s160 a year for
the privilege of residing on it. Each
has four or five acres of stones. OF
course it is impossible to make a living
So even in the utmost misery. What
these farmers do in order to pay their
rents, is to work in England during
nine or ten months of the year. They
bring home 916 or EGO in November.
That frees them and keeps starvation
just at arms length. These are some
OF the men l have met in the north
such hard workers in the bayfield, that
a Yorkshire farmer prefers them to
all others. One man will come over TO
the same farm for twenty, thirty or
forty years. If he is not there when
the grass is ready, the Yorkshire farm
er knows he has not the money to nav
MS fare, and sends it.

Own Your Pew

contemporary, writing on the sub
Ject of church attendance, ownership
of pews, etc., gives the following ad-
vice, which is appropriate and applic-
able in nearly every parish:
Modern life with it's intense activ-
ity, It's disregard of the individual, its
separation of the various members of
the family, its demand of unlimited
time and ceaseless labor all have a
tendency to break up the distinctive
characteristics of the home, and home
like relations. But there are a few
portions of life where the spirit of
business should not dominate, and
among them is the keeping of the fam
lily pew in church. Every family, ev-
cry unmarried young man and woman
should own pew or at least seat in
the parish church. Certainly if we
would stop for a moment and reflect
on the subject such a statement is not
excessive. The church is the house
of God, it is the place after all that
shouId be home for all of us, and,
therefore, within that home there
should be a place that we Ourselves
can call our own. AS way for the
father and mother to teach their chill
dren reverence for all that is holy the
family pew is greatest. To it SUNDAY
after Sunday the children may be
brought; they will be taught to look
on 1T as their proper place in Gods
temple, and around it will grow tradi-
tons that will be the best presarva-
tive of faith in after life. And for
the unmarried young man and wo-
man seat in their parish church will
be the same. They, too, will feel that
they are also part owners of the great
edifces consecrated to God, their per-
sonal interest in the affairs of their
parish will be increased, and with the
increase of personal interest will be
increased also their determination TO
live as worthy participators in the own
ership of house of God Every man
and woman today wishes to become
an owner of a home, stability in life
is thus arrived at, and assuredIy every
father and mother of a family, every
young man and woman should own
pew In the parish church, and secure
in that way stability of place of wor-
ship"

Reading as a Cure.

The practice of reading aloud at
regular intervals is of great benefit to
anyone affected with a chest complaint.
In all cases of lung trouble it is i'm
portant to indulge in those exercisef by
which the chest is in part filled or emp
tied Of air, and reading aloud. singing
and whistling are three of those exer-
cises
There are many who cannot sing.
and we do not expect the fair sex to
whistle, but reading aloud can be prac-
tfced by all. Care must be taken not
to overdo it, of course, and the body
should be in such position as to al
low the chest tc have free play.
Reading aloud, il we pay attention
to what we are doing, will not only
be beneficial from the standpoint of
health, but viii also have the effect of
making us better speakers by teaching
us proper modulations of the voice and
by increasing our knowledge.
This is where 1t has the advantage
over whistling and singing.

care You Hannv p,

Elizabeth Newcomb was a radiantly
| beautiful girl when she went, bride
to South Carlton. She had left college
in her junior year to marry Henry
Newcomb. 1t was a 'love-match, -
and life stretched clear and bright be-
fore them. Elizabeth had a romantic
| devotion to Shelley and Tennyson, but
she also had substantial common sense
and practical ability that made her a
model housewife.
Five. years had brought burdens and
problems. First there was a boy
baby and then girl Soon Elizabeth's
mother died, and her father, a feeble,
! deaf old man, came to live with his
daughter. Business had been a little
disturbed by a strike in Henry's fac
tory, and it did not seem wise to in
crease the expenses >of the house by
the wages of another maid. So Eliz-
abeth learned what it meant to be
tired from the top of her head to the
toe of her neat shoe.
For a month she had been conscious
of a growing irritability. Henry did
not seem so devoted as once he waS,,
the children were restless and persist
ent; her father was exacting; theweath-
er was depressing. Her courage and
philosophy were at a low ebb.
One evening she was left alone. The
children and father slept Henry had
gone to a meeting of the library direc-
tors. Elizabeth confessed herself too
weary to mend a stocking or write
letter, and she picked up a book. 1t
was Maeterlinck's Wisdom and Des-
tiny" The first sentence caught and
held her attention: rs happiness truly
as happy as people imagine?''
1t came on her mood like startling
rol,A i
succeeding the poetry of youth, as a
day of summer sunshine.
Is happiness truly as happy as I
imagined?' asks the woman.
She dropped the book, and sat dwell
ing upon the words long and sadly.
Then suddenly a strange thing hap
pened to her in the border-land be-
tween sleeping and waking. She
dreamed for one brief instant that
father and husband and babies were
lost to her-that her burdens were
gone. She woke with start of
anguish-and in that anguish she knew
herself. Out of her flash of insight
there emerged a saving philosophy of
life. 1t ran in this wise:
Hard work, scant appreciation, care
loss, grief may press upon a woman's
heart None of them can reach her
deepest self. Only one baleful spirit
can do that; it is the spirit of hate.
When she begins to hate her work, to
hate her worries and loneliness, to hate
even her pain, then, indeed, happiness
ceases to be happy.
So the next morning Elizabeth. New
comb took up joyfully her usual cares,
quickened for her tasks, as spirits have
been in all ages by vision of things
as they are.

Chopped Beefsteak.

A trained nurse prepares chopped
beef steak for her patients in a way
that makes the food extremely easy of
digestion. The meat from a pound of
round or sirloin steak is carefully freed
of fat and cut in rather small pieces
to go into the meat chopper. After
a few minutes of chopping the fine
pulp which rises from the meat during
the operation of chopping is removed
and put aside; continue to chop and
to remove the pulp until only the fibre
of the meat remains This pulp is
pressed into a round fat cake and
broiled over very. hot fire on each side
for about five minutes; it is then sea-
soned slightly with salt, dash of
cayenne, little butter and served very
hot. If preferred, this pulp may be
served almost entirely uncooked. In
that case the pulp should be sea-
soned before it is formed into cake.

To Tell Fresh Fish.

TO tell fresh fish," said a Fulton
| market dealer recently, always look at
the gills and the eyes and feel of the
body to see if it is solid. If the gills
are gray and the eyes dull the fish is
not fit for eating" This man is IA
nous among his friends for the deli
ciousness of his clam chowder. Here
is his rule, which is suggestive if not
definite: FRY the fat from some salt
pork and suet. Boil peeled potatoes,
onions cut fine and canned tomatoes
until the vegetables are done. Drain
OF the water and save it. Fry the
vegetables in the fat which was fried,
with lump of butter added and some
chopped parsley. Then mash the po-
tatoes fine and put in the clans, a
third of the soft shell and two thirds
of the hard shell. Stir in the clam
Juice and the water in which the vege-
tables cooked. Season with celery
salt, paprika and curry. Sage and
thyme are better left out"
More than one market dealer has his
own views on cooking. A vegetable
merchant said, pointing to a basket of
okra: That is vegetable too little
appreciated. Not one person in a thou
sand knows that it makes a good salad.
The best way, to my mind, is to boil
the pods, stems and all, tender. Let
them get cool, and eat them, holding
each by the stem and dipping it into
French dressing like asparagus They
can also be sliced nd mixed with Gu
cumbers or tomatoes like an nanan
cumbers or tomatoes, or both, and
dressed with a French dressing or may
onnaise. For this salad a chopped
green pepper is an improvement.
There's green corn, too Ny way
is to boil it almost tender, drain and
dry the ears and ,broiI them over the
fire. Then there are lima beans. which
are cooked in most houses by boiling.
If they are drained when they are half
done, and are then fried to a delicate
amber color in butter, they will be
twice as good as the usual way

times in China Minister WI, that
country's representative in the United
States, was observed to be very calm
and undisturbed, and was asked the
reason. 81 suppose there is much to
be worried about he said; but there

of use when things go wrong. 1t

of sorrow from flying over our heads,
but we can refuse to allow them to
build their nests in our hair"

Apple Meringue Pudding.

Apple meringue pudding, which is
usually apple sauce mixed, while hot,
with eggs, is improved by the addition
of cup of fine, dry bread crumbs.
Make about a pint of apple sauce from
tart apples of good flavor, free it of
Jumps, sweten to taste and mix with it
while hot the bread crumbs, bit of
butter the size of walnut, the yolks
of two eggs, together with a blade of
mace and a dash of nutmeg. This
mixture should be beaten light with a
silver fork and poured in a buttered
pudding dish and baked for twenty
minutes. Use the whites for a mer-
ingue for the top, leaving the dish in
the oven long enough afterwards to
color the whites to delicate brown.

To Peel Tomatoes.

The easiest way to do this is to dip
them into boiling water for a second
before beginning. This loosens the
skin, and it can be easily removed An
excellent plan is to put them into a
frying basket and dip basket and all
into the water, as then the water
drains from them at once. If left to
get sodden they are spoiled.

When there are many flies about it
is a good plan, if you have not a very
good place in which to keep meat, to
wrap It up as soon as it arrives in a

OF course, you cannot keep it long.

for flies to touch it.

Lemon Juice For Rheumatism

The idea of treating rheumatism with
lemon juice appears to have had its
rise in Germany. The method consists
in swallowing the juice of one lemon
on the first day, and so on progressing
up to twenty-five lemons. When the
limit is reached the number of lemons
is progressively diminished.
NJ. Desplats of Lille has recently
adopted this treat with some of
his patients who suffered from articu-
lar rheumatism. In one case the patient
was able to drop the treatment at
