Testing a Saddle horse.

Terre Haute, Ind. Jnly 81
Prof. Claud Michelon of Dayton,
Ohio, who is riding horseback
from that city to San Francisco in
an effort to make the trip in sixty
days, and who has Travelled 700
miles from Dayton in one week,
arrived here last night and remain
ed over to-day. He personally
groomed his horse after arrival,
and bandaged the animals legs as
carefully as a surgeon would the
limb of a man operated on. The
deerhound, Prince, like his master
was none the worse for the week $
journey. Prof. Michelon denies the
report that the trip is being made
in the interest of the French gov
eminent, in the respect that if
successful American horses will be
bought for the French army. His
trip will be watched with interest
in France, however, he says, be-
cause a wrong impression has
been gained there of the American
horse. The first shipments abroad
of the Western ratge horses. Then
fine bred horses from Kentucky
were imported, but We're used hard
after arrival, and ma ny died. Prof.
MichelOn wants to show what a
gentleman's saddle horse can do.

An Old Fable Revived.

The idea that the Pope cannot sin
seemed TO have been exploded long ago,
but. probably for the want of other
things to write about, the mixing up of
the idea of papal impeccahility with
papal infallibility has again crept into
some of the Protestant papers. 1t
seems that in 1874 the pope wrote a
little book called THE Very Sacred
Blood of the Holy Virgin" and, as
that book, in the estimation of the
-ecclesiastical censors, was not perfectly
orthodox, It was properly put on the
Index Expurgatorius. Now it seems
after all these years some newspaper
correspondents have discovered this
fact. and have endeavored to show
from it that even an occupant of the
papal chair might err in matters of
doctrine, and, as the suggestion is
implied, might not quite be orthodox
even if he be infallible. Now
every Catholic knows the fact
that when a pope is speaking
Solemnly and formally as the head of
the universal church on matters of
doctrine or morals he is infallible, and
the other fact that the pope, as pri-
yate man, is neither infallible nor i'm
peccable. Because a man occupies the
chair Of head of the Catholic world. it
Nb00 AlOA AOllON blAdl llG CtdSbS 10 De a
man with the weakness incident to hu-
man nature. His position may indeed
prevent him from showing those pc
culiarities and from expressing freely
those opinions but his position. does
not prevent him from having
them. However, this whole story
about the book Leo XIII wrote has
little or no bearing on either the
subject Of papal impecca bility or
infallibility. The book was written
when the pope was member of the
Italian hierarchy and not when he was
pope; it was written. perhaps. in
the spirit Of a devotee and with the
unconscious eXaggeration that true
devotee may frequently be guilty of.
Now it is a well known fact that the
church is extremely careful never to
sanction anything at all exag-
Seratlve when the qeustien of
a Catholic doctrine is at stake A
doctrine is simply true, and it cannot
have any embellishments Therefore
everything that in the slightest degree
tends to obscure that truth. no matter
now good were the intentions Of the
writer, is instantly rejected. That the
pope fully understands this is seen
from the other fact that, although he
IS now head of the church, he has al
lowed the book to remain on the for
hidden list, where it was put years ago.

Devotion TO the Sacred Heart.

| Outside of God the substantial and
increased good, the greatest good which
is within Dur reach, tn. only one eter-
nally durable, is grace gratuitous grace
of God, mysterious but real participa-
ton of his nature. Given to the hui
man race by the merits of the redemp-
ton, grace is asquired for each of us
by baptism. it is lost by SIM regained
by penance or acts of perfect contri-
ton, and fed by the sacraments. 1t is
our whole perpetual fortune; our cap
ital, the first foundation Of which God
gave US at baptism. and which each of
our good works augments afterward.
According to the degree of grace 9TH
erwise called holiness. thus acquired
during life, will correspond 10 the de-
gree of our eternal glory.
All graces are evidently presents from
divine charity. A great love gave them
originally; still greater love gave
them to humanity. They burst forth
from tie heart of Jesus, the month ded-
icated to which is at its zenith. This
heart, this love is really the source, the
storehouse When we wish them, then.
we must not ask them of the justice of
God. but of his heart. Everything in
the supernatural order comes from this
heart The gospel has already told us
that. What the devotion to the Sacred
Heart teaches US, and guarantees US in
addition, is means of opening this
heart more easily, a more simple pro-
cess to make grace run in torrents from
it.
First of all it is question of habitual
grace. We necessarily acquire it in
giving ourselves up to a devotion to
the Sacred Heart, since the fundamen-
tai practice or this devotion is an act
OF the love of God, and such an act
draws grace into the soul which pro-
duces it. The love of God is the life
of the soul; it's maladies and deatA
come from the diminution and disap-
pearance of this love. Just as we give
life to a person asphyxiated by re-es-
tablishing the play of his respiratory
organs so the devotion TO the Sacred
Heart gives life to the soul, by re-es-
tablishing in it all the motive power
of the love of God; thus can it rightly
promise pardon to sinners who adopt
it. 1t is not all to live the life of grace.
This life. like ali life, needs to grow
and expand. Now the devotion to the

The Historic Ass.

The ass has held it's place in tradi-
ton from the beginning of the Chris
tian era; it has its place in humor, too.
Who has not heard the story of Henry
the Fourth, who was indignant because
of the weary speech of an all-too i'm
portant. and pompous mayor As the
mayor went on with his speech. an ass
brayed, and Henry must have been tru-
ly grateful. 1t gave him an opportuni-
ty of rebukiug the mayor for his much
speaking and of proving his wit to pos
terity. Gentlemen said the king.
as the ass brayed, pray speak one at
a time, if you please" The story must
have been in the mind of the judge who
twitted Curran, the Irish orator. Cur
ran was addressing the court when the
bray of an ass was heard outside, and
the judge could not resist the tempta-
ton of saying: zone at time, Mr.
Curran, please" But the good ass gave
Curran his chance. AS the judge
summed up the bray was heard again,
and the great lawyer, jumping from
his seat, asked the judge: Does not
your lordship hear remarkable echo
in the court ?"-Weekly Freeman.

The Little Finger.

Adopts in palmistry assert that the
lengtw 81 the fourth or little finger is
the most important sign in the hand.
There is no great nan-no man who
rises to Importance in any line of life
without d long and straight little fin
ger.
The type of finger, whether spatu-
late, poiEted or very nearly square,
causes the capacity to be directed into
very different channels. With the long
spatulate little finger success in bust
ness will result. while the long pointed
one denotes tact and the management
of people.
This indeed is the finger of "whee-
die" The old saying. ITO turn people
round your little finger" is. like most
old proverbs, the result OF continued
and close observation and in the case
of 1.-The long pointed Mercury" as Ben
Johnson in The Alchemist calls the
fourth finger, is undoubtedly entirely
true.
