GIFT OF NUN II. HER SISTER.

Miss Emily G. Houston. who has lust
returned from Georgetown, KY. has
brought with her a reliquary which con-
like Of which is scarcely to be found
anywhere In this country. It is in the
form Of cross about ten inches long,
with the figures of the Saviour and his
mother on the face Of it; on the back
Is a slide, which, when opened, discloses
the relics It is made of wood tipped in
ivory, and the carving indicates that it
was made at an early Gothic period.
This Is also shown by the antique APP
pearance of the Romanesque ornaments.
Miss Houston is a devout Roman Cath
Ole, and prizes this recent gift very
highly. Since her return numbers OF her
friends have been eager to see it.
The reliquary was obtained by Miss
Mcleod, a wealthy lady of Scotland,
during her travels through Europe, and
while in this country, about twelve years
ago, she presented it to Sister Mary
Clare who was formerly MISS Nora
Houston, Of this city, but then at Mt.
de Chantal Convent At that time the
satin, and although Miss Mcleod and
Sister Mary Clare knew that 1T was
relfquary, they had never discovered how
to open it without defacing the cross
About six years ago Sister Mary Glare
left Mt. de Chantal to go to the Cardone
Convent Of the Visitation, at George
town, KY, and it being a custom for the
members of the Visitation order to carry
crucif1x in the belt when travelling,
Sister Mary Clare desired to use the
reliquary by removing the only obstacle,
which was the red satin on the back,
not caring to wear red in her nuns garb.
On tearing the satin she immedia tely
discovered the slide, and one can imagine
her pleasure at finding inside the cross,
three relics bearing the inscriptions "lac
Of the Blessed Virgin, D. C. Roses ST.
Francis, and relic of ST. Valentine
She has carefully treasured these rel
les of these three great saints at her
home in the convent, and last week gave
the reliquary to her sister Miss Hous-
ton, of this city
