AN EyouIsTT CHALICT.

Last Sunday at Holy Angels church,
Buffalo, there was used for the first
time a chalice which, is perhaps the
most eXquisitely wrought. and expen-
size piece Of the kind in the country.
Nearly two years ago Father Quinn,
then rector of Holy Angels suggested
the plan for this rare receptacle The
parishioners were not slow in accept
ing what their pastor iiltimated, and
at once he began to receive costly, rare
and beautiful jewels, as well as a good
ly quantity of gold coin, gifts from his
people to be used in making the chalice.
When all had been given the entire as
Sortment was sent to a Well-known
New York goldsmith.
Following is a list of the gifts: Dia-
monds as solitaire), SO; emeralds, 10;
sapphires, q: rubies, As; pearls. AS;
amethysts, As; garnets, IFS; opals, 10;
turquoise, 1913; topaz. 9: canoes, p;
other varieties, 80; gold chains, 65 gold
lockets, 81; gold bracelets, 81; gold ear
rings, pairs, Jos; gold crosses, 81; gold
medals, Il; gold watches. 8; gold pins
125; gold pens, 8; gold pencils, s; gold
studs. N33; gold sleeve buttons, So; gold
thimbles, ;; gold rings (20S wedding
rings) 1896; gold ornaments, 500; gold
coin, $3.50. -
The maker of the chalice was of the
opinion that to use ali the articles in
one piece would make it cumbersome.
Hence, it was decided to divide the
gifts, and while all the jewels are at
tractively arranged in the large chalice,
there is also a smaller one of FURNISHED
gold. and other articles used in the

Should Know These Things.

Parents, do you know where your
boys spend Sunday Do you know
where your girl spends the evening?
Those questions strike at the root of
much sin and suffering. The parents
who can answer them in the affirma-
tive, are seldom worried by the mis-
conduct of an unruly son, or disgraced
by Maynard daughter. 1t is not their
sons who are found on Sunday in bar
rooms and worse places, indulging in
swearing, vulgarity and drunken or
gies, and in a short time become con-
firmed loafers, drunkards and Grim
inals; it is not their daughters you
meet at night on the streets in ques-
tionable company, flirting with corner
lOafers, or going to masquerades and
other resorts Of vice-treading the path
that leads TO the disgrace of them
selves and family. No; parents who
know or care where their sons spend
Sunday, and their daughters spend
their evenings rarely have to answer
for such conduct on the part of their
children. 1t is those parents who do
not know, and apparently do not care
where their sons and daughters go. who
will have to answer for this terrible re-
sponsibility. And yet many, 100 many,
of those parents are Catholics. Do they
ever think? Does it ever occur to them
that they by their neglect, are account
able for the souls of their children?
That when they appear before the final
Judgment of God they win have TO an
swer for the sins of their children?
That when they appear before the final
Judgment of God. they Will have to an
swer for the sins Of their children, due

not. and may God have mercy on them,
for they will certainly be held to such
an account. Neglect on the part of par
ents is the source Of most of the sin

mother in Evansville. Ind. travels
about the streets of that city alone and
converses with his acquaintance as
readily as do a good many people who
are in possession of all their faculties.
In point of learning his case is almost
as marvellous as the wonderful accom-

tact that he is deprived of three of the
most cherished privileges of humanity
does not weigh upon his spirits in the
least for he is as bright and cheerful
as any of his associates.
The case of this remarkable boy is all
the more pathetic because of the fact
that he once was able to hear and see.
and talk. His Affections came to him
singly when he was young.
First he lost his sight in a most mys-
teriouS way. When he was a small boy
workman was engaged to do some
work in the basement of his fathers
house. One day the boy went down to
watch the digger laboring upon an ex-
cayation He remained but a short
time, and when he returner from the
cellar and the fight struck his eyes the
sight left them. The case baffied the
best physicians in the country. They
advanced all sorts of theories and adj
vocated various forms of treatment
but the eyes remained sightless from
that day.
A short time later, while the parents
were struggling with this first afflic-
ton, the boy lost his hearing as mys-
teriously as The sight had departed
from his eyes Then, after several
years, he noticed that he had difficulty
in talking. The aggravation continued
until he was unable to speak at all,
and now he cannot utter even a sound.

does not permit his pathetic Affections
to confine him 10 the house or make
him dependent upon any one. He min

CAUSE OF APPENDICITIS.
philadelphia Medical Journal)


Despite the numerous clinical obser-
vations and the many opportunities for
exhaustive investigations afforded by
operations and autopsies, we are still
in the dark concerning the cause and
effect of appendicitis. AS to the case
in other diseases of obscure origin,
various theories have been advanced
from time to time, only to be aban-
doned when found wanting in evidence.
The grape seed, fecal concretions and
even the street car and golf have been
each in turn held UP as the causatiYe
agent. 1t is needless to say that the
disease attacks equally the one who
carefully rejects the seeds and the one
who swallows them unfortunately
nor are fecal concretions and other for
eign bodies found with sufficient fire.
quency to account for all cases of APP
pendicitis. 1t is sufficient to reflect on
the frequency with which foreign
bodies. large and small, pass through
the alimentary canal without lodging
in the appendix to reject the foreign
body theory as explaining fully the
causation of appendicitis. We must
admit at the same time that in some
cases a small foreign body, such as
pin, may lodge in the appendix and
set up an irritation.
Recently Matchnikoff advanced the
theory. supported by a considerable
number of clinical observations, that
the intestinal parasites form the most
frequent geological factor in appended
It's According to this theory the par
asitss enter the appendix and, by their
presence or their eggs, injure the walls

tantiae organisms. This theory is GER
not with foreign body which is pro-
PEELED along the smooth mucous mem
brane. but an active parasite possess
ing independent motion parasite
which is fully capable of setting UP
severe irritation. But here, again, the
parasite only serves as a predisposing
factor the main cause residing in the
pathogenic organism which attacks the
injured appendix.
AS a matter of fact, it seems un-
necessary to invoke the aid of a foreign
body in every case of appendicitis An
organ so rudimentary as the appendix
is certain to lack in vital resistance
and may under certain conditions be-
come a prey TO pathogenic organisms
which are ever present in this particu-
lar location In short, appendicitis is
often an infectious disease, having its
primary seat in the appendix. and as
its direct cause any of the several
heterogeneous, such as
the virulent bacillus coil communis,
staphylococcus, streptococcus, etc. This
disease is in a measure analogous to
on the one hand, and to
typhoid enteritis on the other, the anal
ogy of the latter being made still closer
by the fact that in the appendix, as in
the ifeum, the lymphoid tissue is pri- |

Fragrance breathing far
Dropping blooms lustre shedding
| AS of drifted start
This the hawthorn-sacred grating
From Judean tree
Irish winds, its perfume waiting,
Groom its history
| Tree and bird and bee have listened
To its story there.
Of how first its, snow-wreathS glistened
On our earth and-where?
Twas in Afrfc's desert dreary,
T0rrid day was done. .....st-
And a maiden-mother weary
flushed her Infant Son.
Cot nor tent was none to save them
From the chill and dew:
Angels, In whose care God gave them
Closer round them drew.
One, above the white sand bending
Breathed softly See!
From the barren earth ascending
SMary's shelter-treei
Leafy branches entertaining
Arched them overhead.
Petals fluttered, soft and shining,
For the Infants bed!
So, each eve their course abating
Joseph saw, and smiled.
Marys tree of shelter waiting
For the wondrous Child
And those hands, unseen that carried,
Set the hawthorn down.
Where at length the eXiles tarried
Far from Nazareth's town.
Happy Nazareth later knew it:
In it's garden place
Peering sunbeams filtered through it
On the Christ-Childs face
Long years passed; its blossoms SHIN
mered ya
Mid the nights of gloom,
When the seraphs watch-lights glin-
BY the Masters tomb.
There, as forth outstepped the risen,
Lo! his garments hem,
Trailing rSi from the gloried prison,
Wherefore Christ's disciple wrought it
For staff of need,
And to Saxon land he brought it
With his Masters creed.
GlaStonbury's sacred thorn,
Growing Saxon hill,
Blooming every Yuletide morn,
Speaks of Joseph still.
Erins Patrick priced its whiteness
So, sprig he bore
Adding to the blossomed brightness
OF his islands store.
Mary s ishelter-swift it's spreading
Thro' her loyal isle.
Sweetness on it's pathway shedding
Emblem of her smile.
Here, the stately altar decking
There, the wayside shrine
Now the green of graveyards flecking:
Still the snow-blooms shinei
Still the hue of dedication,
Wears the Virgins Mary;
Still their due of veneration
Erin's children pay!
But in lands where ingrates turned,
Sighting Marys name,
There the blossoms fair cheeks burned
With the glow of shame.
And the crimson stays, in token
of flowers distress
Over pledges basely broken
And mans faithlessness
Ali but praise a Patrick's keeping.
Marys thorn still,
Paler for a peoples weeping.

The Disabled Sister of Mercy.

When twilight. as a curtain gray, drops
on garish world
And, like weary bird, the day its busy
wing hath furId;
In dim corner of her cell, she loves to
kneel apart.
And go in spirit through. the land com
passionate of heart,
To view upon their squalid beds the lone
ly sick and poor
Who anguish in their wretchedness with
out hope of cure;
To visit in their dreary cells the prisoners
forlorn,
alas, for some of them 'twere well they
snever had been bornEo
And, as she kneeis beside each bed.
Loves viewless airnoner,
Or sits in fancy by the side of each lone
prisoner.
She worships in each suff' ring one with.
all his ills or aches,
Him who was stricken for our sins and
wounded for our sakes.
From out each captive's mournful face
she sees the features shine
OF Him who for love became a Prison
er Divine!
What wonder then, that, softly, in the
pauses of her prayer,
1t should be given her to hear tender
Voice declare;
Since in thy days of youth and strength
thou didst these deeds sublime
Unto the least of these poor wrecks of
sorrow or of crime;
Thy Snouse and SAVIOUR. Christ the
Lord, shall call thee by thy name
And in His day, before the whole assem-

his error, and covers it over with the
mantle of self esteem, will find in the
end that his whole life has been mis-

mistake made 1t would be all Very
we'll if we would all think slow, and
speak or act in all important things
only after due elaboration. But 1t

in some races more than Others, to let
impulse direct action. Such being the
case, the transgressor must expect to
feel. and does feel, the sting of hasty
words and wrong action. But by dis

itself strengthens the one who so acts,
be he man or boy. This leads to an in

Indignation it caused. His conscience
demanded him to tell the wrong he did,
and he was expelled. The boy showed
his strength of character was greater
than his weakness, and. as such, should
be held up, not to odium, but to praise.
1t is well not TO do wrong. but he who
does so and admits it, is the really
