that man might acknowledge his great
ness and praise his mercies by keeping
! 1t holy for his sake. But his will is dis
regarded now as it was in Paradise
Pleasure is more universally the OBJ
ject of mans relaxation than the serv1
ice of God. This should not be. Self
should not be always the measure of
ones actions. The world ease and
pleasure should not circumscribe mans
| thoughts. They should be forgotten on
the Sabbath. This is the nature of the
command to keep holy the Sabbath
day"
The service demanded by God must
be generous, disinterested and unlim-
tied. The service must be generous, as
God desires that it come from unques-
tioning intellects, not asking why he
desires this day, but gives it with hom-
age and praise as being one of the
many days allotted for his existence.
The service must be disinterested,

ing hearts that turn from the world for
a time to show that their interests do
not weigh more in their estimation
than those of heaven, and that they
would. if possible, have their entire
lives like this one day, namely, one un-
ceasing act of homage, one perpetual
act of love, one unfailing prayer, such
lives as the angels lived who would not
1--we but by his all holy will. The serv-
Ice required should be unlimited, since
God is it's object. He is the center
around which mans thoughts must al
ways move. On the Sabbath mans en-
tire being, heart and mind, with all
their power of thought and love should
flow into God, their source, as the river
flows into the ocean, from which it de-
riveS its waters Nothing should be re-
served, since God keeps nothing from
man. The three first commandments
suggest the necessity of mans relation
ship and duties to his Creator and
should be practiced on the Sabbath
day.

The Catholic church, in defining the
observance of the Sabbath( keeps clear
o fextremes. The first and most essen
tial duty is to hear mass. A voluntary
neglect of this important duty is a
mortal sin. To give all members of a
family an opportunity of complying
with the law of the church, masses
are said at different hours. In addi
ton to this command, prayer and read
ing good books are required to sanctify
the day, not, however, under pain of
mortal sin. She exacts no unnecessary
restraint of keeping within doors, and
devoting the entire day to chanting
HYMNS.

dent, all should respond quickly and
according to their means.
The Intermountain Catholic. (Salt Lake City [Utah] ;) 1899-1920, 1902-05-17

Reasoning on the command to keep
holy the Sabbath day. it must be adj
mitted that the service which man
owes to God stands first, and is the
most important. His right and title to
our homage cannot be questioned. In
the first command he makes that claim,
and in order that man may reduce to
practice his obligations to God, he sets
apart one day each week to be devoted
to his service. If six days are given
to the world and mans temporal inter
ests, it is only just that one be given
to God and mans spiritual interests.
Without any command, gratitude
should make one feel the fitness and
justice of elevating his heart and mind
to heaven in order to pay God that
worship which is his due. 1t is a duty
beside, so that necessity and gratitude
combine to induce man to keep holy
the Sabbath day. Sababth means rest
the day dedicated to the service of God
is so called, because on that day He
rested from his work, so to speak, or
daining that man also should rest and
cease from <servile work to commemor-
ate the wonderful work of creation
which was then completed The Sab
bath is the anniversary of Gods ON
impotence displayed in calling the uni
verse into existence.
The Intermountain Catholic. (Salt Lake City [Utah] ;) 1899-1920, 1902-05-17

Mans respect for the Sabbath should
be unbounded, because from it dates
his existence, and, secondly, it is sug-
gestive of all the wonderful manifes-
tations of Gods power and glory.
The Sunday kept by Christians COM
memorate not only the primeval birth
Of all things, but also mans second
life in the resurrection of Christ, to-
gether with the institution of his
church, for on this day the Holy
Ghost descended on the apostles, and
through their mouths spoke to all ma
tons of the earth.
Sabbath has still another meaning.
IL calls up before us that eternal rest
prepared for those who work in his
service during life. This is the great
object of Sunday to bring man nearer
to God and heaven, to place before him
Gods goodness, that he may return
his love, to remind him of his rewards
that he might labor for them.
The three first commands God re-
serves entirely to himself He points
out the homage which is his due, and
demands that it be given him. But
lest human frailty should fail in it's
duties, he selects one day which is en-
tirely to be devoted to him. 1t is God
himself that makes the selection, after
first giving to man all that his wisdom
and love could bestow. His generosity
stands in deep contrast with mans
selfish nature. He gave Paradise with
all its fruitfulness, reserving but one
tree, and that only that man might
not forget his dependent existence. He
gives life with all its enjoyments, re-

through India, which he was willing
to purvey by mail upon the receipt
of 81 per stone. The money that

dollars were just raining in, when the
inspectors swooped upon his Office and

whether he was cleaned out or not.
He had got the money.
Something over a year ago the de-
partnent nailed a clever woman who
was operating her little dodge down
in Florida-a woman of tremendous
shrewdness, this one was, sure
enough. She advertised and sent out
circulars to the effect that she was a
natural-born healer of any old disease
that was ever included in medical
book, mental or physical, and she set
forth the fact that, if anything, she
was some better as an absent healer
than she was as a contact healer. All
the persons afflicted with any sort of
disease had to do was to hike a S.
note along to her, and she would spend
five minutes at certain hour of the
day or night thinking of the person
remitting the money. Thus, the afflict-
ed one would be made whole. If |
remember correctly, this little woman
pulled in something like 100000 with
her scheme, and If she had really de-

nothing could be done in the way of
punishment TO her. She clung to it
when nailed that she really was an alb
sent healer all right-although there
was merry twinkle in her eye as she
said it-and the government hadn't
way of proving that she wasn't what
she claimed to be, even had the gov
ernment been disposed to establish
any such a contention.

The Sandow girl is in style. The new
shirt waists are built so that woman
looks twice as wide as she is. In her
skirt she looks narrower, for skirts are
very clinging and they are fitted as far
down as the knees. But the figure must
be broad and apparently muscular, so
that the midsummer woman comes
very near being top-heavy.
The new waists are made with the
shoulder plait. This is a fold Of cloth
which is put on in such a manner that
1t projects over the shoulders. In GER
tain shape it is called the "Gibsonian," 4"
and it's immediate effect is to make the
shoulders look very wide. 1t is really
more becoming to a slender woman
than to a plump one, but both styles
are wearing it and you are gradually
getting used to the woman who looks
twice as broad as she did in the spring.
Sleeves display the same pecularity.
They are tucked in rows of tucking
running around the arm and they are
trimmed with bands Of lace going
round and round, all of which tend to
make the sleeve large and the arm big.

Stuffed and handsomely mounted in
square glass case to the right as
one enters the Washington postal mu-
scum is Owney, the tramp dog.
Strung around his neck and around
him in the case are hundreds Of med
ais received by Owney from officials
in all parts of the world. In life
Owney was one of the most famous
dogs that ever lived, says the Wash
ington Post. He was the postal
clerks dog, without pedigree or beau
ty and in his latter days minus one
eye, the result of hot cinder while
on one of his numerous trips. He was
known from st. Petersburg to Kala-
mazoo. When in Japan Owney is said
to have behaved very badly in the pres
ence of the Mikado, and when the
court ladies sought to caress him,
to have bristled up in an unfriendly
and un-American fashion, decidedly
unfavorable to the propagation of good
relations between Japan and this
country.
Owney was a cross between an r.
ish and Scotch terrier, and of the dull
gray in color secured by the combi-
nation Of the seven prismatic rays
of the sun. When a pup he crept
into the Albany postofiice for warmth,

Mr.. c. Napier Bell gives, in Gang
weera," a pleasant account Of tame
quash, a little animal of Central
America belonging to the raccoon
family. 1t is about twice the size Of
cat, is covered with thick brown
fur, and has long, bushy tail.
While in camp, Mr.. Bells party
brought up young one.
Il never in my life saw such an in
quisitive, active, pertilacious, fear
less, impudent, amiable and quarrel
some little beast as he was" says Mr..
Bell. "If you treated Quash well, he
would be most loving, playing with
your hand, poking his long nose up
your sleeve or into your pockets, and
running all over you as if you belonged
to him; but, if you attempted to put
him away before he chose to go, he
would quarrel at once, snarl and bite,
and twist his nose from side to side
with impudeEt definance.
IF the workmen set their food
down, Quash would take possession
at once. and a fearful row would take
place before he could be disposessed.
"He was everywhere and into every
thing, singed his little toes by walk
ing through the wood ashes, when, in
stead of running away, he shrieked
with rage, and began to dig and scat
ter the ashes in ungoyernable an
ger. Then he rushed up a mans
back to sit on his shoulder and lick
his sore toes. He would often jump
on your face when you were sound
asleep, and insist on lying down there.
At night nothing would satisfy him
but to crawl under the mems cover
ings and up against their naked skins,
where he was by no means careful
with his sharp little claws; but to get
rid of him meant nothing less than
standup fight
Every one was fond Of Quash, and
at the same time every one voted him
an unmitigated nuisance. Finally,
gave him TO an Indian girl, with whom
he became great pet and grew tanner
than ever"

You may think this last far-fetched,
but it is true that very fine silky

useful at the seashore, where many

About the same thing may be said OF

1t is about forty years since the pop
ularity Of the apron began to wane. At
that time no woman's wardrobe was
complete without an assortment Of
aprons for all sorts of occasions. A
black silk apron was the acme of ele-
gance and propriety, and any monde
script gown could, by the addition Of
the black silk apron, trimmed with a
few rows of black velvet ribbon, be
dignified and adorned to the utter salts
faction OF the wearer.
An apron had rather a wide field of
usefulness when you consider that 1t
not only preserved and embellished a
new gown. but it also concealed the de-
fects, and added dignity to an old one.
An apron was always en- regle. The best
dress was kept clean by its use and the
daintiness Of it represented all the fem
mime traits. 1t was a regular banner
Of the home. To its strings the chill
dren were tied.
Tiled to his mothers apron strings!"
Contemptuous expression Of subordina-
ton! And yet SO much sentiment at
tached to it! Whoever was tied to his
mothers apron strings was compare
lively safe-was in his mothers lead.
Mothers apron! The baby was rolled in
it. Childish tears were dried with it.
The little boys used its strings for
reins, and the little girls played prin-
cess and trailed it's ample folds behind
them, real ladies in waiting to an i'm
aginary queen.
Those were ante-new woman days.
Knitting and needlework were femin-
inc occupations. 1t was previous to the
day of higher education for women. 1t
may sound far fetched to say that home
sentiment waned with the decline of
the apron. The latter may not have
been the cause, but 1t certainly kept
pace with 1t. have the written state
ment of a man to the effect that snow
white apron tied neatly about trim
waist had power to attack the mascu-
line heart at it's most vulnerable point.
After that say there Is no sentiment
about an apron! But man cherishes
sentiment about things Of which the
feminine mind has no conception, and
his heart has been many times ensnar-
ed in the muslin bow that tied at the
back of his. sweethearts waist this

That the industrial field for women in
this country is looked upon as veri-
table Eldorado by some English writ
ers on the subject is evidenced by the
glowing account Of the opportunities
at the command of American women
and the salaries paid for various kinds
of that appeared in a recent issue Of
an influential London weekly. Teach
ing and typewriting are stated as the
staple occupations of women of edu-
cation and e.bility. The average rate Of
salary for capable well trained teach
ers, it is stated, is "srom $500 to $1,000
year, while head mls4ErSses and col
lege professors receive propoStjonately
more. All teachers have summer va
cation of from three to four months,
which many energetic teachers make
profitable by giving private lessons or
tutoring in the various summer resorts,
by chaperoning girls to Europe or in
many other ways which entail neither
loss of prestige nor of social posi-
tion''
Concerning the occupation of steno-
graphy and typewriting is this COM
ment: "The typewriter is an adjunct Of
every business Office in the United
States, and its operator is usually a

knowledge is required, as in law Of

How Long Do Animals Live?


How many of you know how long
the birds and animals live? None of
our common pets, the cats or dogs,
live very long. 1 once heard of a
cat that lived 29 years, and of a dog
that was % when he died. But this
does not often happen.
A horse cannot do much work after
he is IL or Ia years old; but heard
of one horse that lived GA years.
Birds sometimes have long lives.
There was once parrot who lived
over 100 years, and ravens often live
much longer.
A cocatoo in a far-off country was
cheerfdl old pet when he was S5
years old. He would have lived to be
older if he had not grown so cross
that he would fight and hurt himself.
A dove once lived 25 years Ill a
cage.
Fish are such selfish creatures that
they ought to live long. They never
get hot.
Carp are said to live hundreds of
years, and pike are also hardy old
fellows.
There are some insects that live
but few hours. Some live but day,
and all of them are short-lived.
The wild beasts do not live long,
but elephants are sometimes old, and
then they grow helpless, just like
old people, and cannot do anything
for themselves Washington Star.
