Priests Holes in England

In England many secret chambers
are known as priests holes. having
/ been constructed with the object of af
| fording refuge to the priests of the
older form of faith during the stress OF
religious persecution. In the latter
years of Eliza beth's reign the laws
against Roman Catholics were made
more and more severe, and the penal
ties of celebrating mass, even in prf-
vate, became very heavy. AS, how
bility remained Roman Catholics. the
mass continued to be performed in
secret in out of the way parts of ram
bling old houses. most often the gar
rets, where hiding places both for the
priests and vestments and sacred YES
sells could be contrived
A large number are the work of one
man, the Jesuit Nicholas Owen, who
devoted most of his life to their con-
struction. He showed extraordinary
skill in selecting positions not likely to
excite suspicion, and in Disgusting the
entrances to the lurking places, and
number of recusant priests owed their
lives TO his ingenuity. After the dis
ccvery of the gunpowder plot. poor
owen, alas, who had saved the lives of
so many recusantS, was himself ar
rested at Handlip hall, Worcestershire.
II was hoped that the secret of many
places of cOncealment would be wrune
from him by the rack. but the mans
spirit remained unShaken, and he died
under the hands of his torturers. his
heroic death apparently being given
out as a case of suicide

OFFERINGS FOR MASSES.
Funeral Services Over the Poor and
Rich.


Does a poor person dying in t
faith receive by right the office of the
dead. or Mass, or is an Offering neces-
sary?''
Answer. All persons dying in
communion with the Catholic Church
have a right and do receive Christian
burial from the duly ordained priests
of the same, no matter whether the
dead were poor or rich; and this Chris
tian burial is to be accorded without
any charge or Offering or any financial
return whatsoever. But the saying of
a Mass for the dead is not a regularly
prescribed part of the burial service
and is added only when the officiating
priest chooses to do so. Being, there
fore, purely free act on his part, an
act which often puts him to serious
inconvenience in the way of fasting till
a late hour and often to some expense
in the way of hiring an organist, sing
ers, buying candles and other such in
cidental expenses, the custom has
sprung UP of Offering to the priest
some monetary consideration as a re-
turn for his own inconvenience and
these expenses, whensOever the Mass
is offered up. 1t is to be noted, how
ever that once a year. on All Souls
day, there is a Mass prescribed by the
Church for the repose of the souls of
all the faithful departed, and this
Mass must be said by the priests
throughout the world, whether any Of
fering be or be not made. And besides
this the Church causes all the souls in
Purgatory TO be prayed for at every
Mass offered up throughout the world.

A Jesuit on Oranges

In the February number of his
charming magazine, Out West, former
| ly The Land of Sunshine, Mr.. Charles
/ +. Lummis has notable article on
| Oranges $50 Years Ago"
He shows by work in four books
written in Latin by eJsuit. Rev. John
Baptist Ferrarius of Sena in Umbria,
| and printed in Rome in the year 1916,
that more was known about citrous
fruits then than now.
Teh Jesuit enumerate five varieties
of citrons, five of lines, forty-seven of
lemons and twenty-one of oranges. He
quotes AS still earlier writer's on the
same topic. He treats of planting.
budding. wall training, etc, and gives
ninety-eight full page copper plates,
giving accurate drawings of the fruits
and the methods of cultivation. He
even describes and pictures seedless
oranges, and goes so far as to mention
the naval variety. which he calls by
that very name-umbilicus.
Mr.. Lummis gloats IN the good work
ftelling us "Anglo-SaXons" of the
twentieth cetnury that we don't know

thing about oranges from this old Jes-

Ientnn Admonitions.

Bishop Cosgrove of Davenport, Ia
in his Lenten pastoral makes some
suggestions to those absolved from the
fast in order TO carry out the splrl'
OF the holy season. He says:
The best modification for Lent is
to abstain from the use Of intoxicating
drinks in honor of the Sacred Ihirst
and Agony of our Lord on the cross.
Because drunkenness is such wlther-
ing scourge and counts its victims by
many thousands, on its eXtirpation de-
pends the blessings of health, the hap
piness Of homes and the salvation of
many souls.
Hence the choicest self-denial for the
holy season is to make in your heart
and to carry out in practice the fol-
lowing promises:
First-To abstain from all intoXicat-
ing drinks during Lent.
Second-To keep out of the saloon.
Third-To say one Our Father and
three Hail Marys every day for the
suppression of intemperanCe.

wish for interment in the Basilica of
st. John Lateran. A monumental tomb
is ready. 1t is the work of the famous
sculptor Giuseppe Luchetti, and its cost
has all been paid. 1t is in the sculp-
tors studio. 1t is a beautiful work of
art. The sarcophagus is surrounded
by recumbent figure of Leo XIII in
full pOntifical robes. Guarding the
tomb are life-size statues of st. Thom-
as and st. Francis. and also a statue
of the Virgin and two angels, all in
white Carrara marble.

Meaning of Fast and Abstinence.

Fast and abstinence are two words
whose meaning is often confounded in
the minds of some. In the language of
the Church, we fast when we take but
one full meal a day. We abstain, when
we refrain from taking meat. We
may abstain and take three full meals.
Most of us do this on the Fridays of
the year. AS originally ordained, all
fast days were days of abstinence as
well. The law has been relaxed some
what and now we have fast days
which are not days of abstinence.
Thus, on the Wednesdays of Lent,
those who fall under the law are
obliged both to fast and to abtain.
Whereas, on the Thursdays of Lent
they are bound to fast but not to alb
stain from meat at the principal meal.

pre-Christian epoch used to pray for
the repose of the soul after death; and
since souls in heaven stand in no need
of prayer of that kind, and those who
are eternally lost cannot be helped by
prayer. the argument for another state
wherein prayers are helpful to souls
and acceptable to God rests upon the
most ancient authority and is support
ed by revelation. Those who dispute
the canonicity Of Maccabees argue on
the fact that the early MSS. of the

The Most Rev. DR.. Browne, bishop
of Cloyne. has placed his mark upon
the beautiful cathedral which over
looEs Cork harbor. Since his elevation
to the See of St CoI~'an, his lordship
has worked with might and main to-
ward the completion of the beautiful
edifce, which is such a magnificent
tribute to the generosity of the priests
and people of Cloyne. During the past
seven years the good work has made
great progress. and no one who has
visited the cathedral will gainsay the
truth of DR.. Brownies words when he
says: 1--WE are in a position to invite
the verdict of men experienced and ac-
complished in all the crafts that are
Illustrated in our cathedral-the archi-
tect the builder, the artist and the
artisqn-to come and examine the char
acter of the work for solidity, excel
lenca and beauty, and to declare wheth
er that work is not fully worth all we
have paid for it" In that time the
sum of e27,000 has been expended, and
the collection of that amount augurs
now undertaken. Before the commit
tee commenced their labors seven years
ago there was a debt of &13000 upon
the building. and it is now proposed to
endeayor to discharge this by the hold
ing of big bazar in 1903. The graft
flying results which have already at
tended Dr. Brownies piIotage of the
work is, We feel certain. an excellent
earnest of a complete success in the
near future.

Great enterprise is shown by the ex-
ecutive of the Cork exhibition in voting
$4,000 toward the amusement depart

shows that this is one of the most i'm

factor that most largely determines
their success or failure. All the local
bands are to be employed in addition to
the best bands to be had in the Three
Kingdoms; and a choir of 500 voices
will be employed in the opening con-
cert. 1t could almost be argued that
the executive could not be too lavish
in their expenditure on this portion of
the exhibition, and there is no doubt
that the enterprising spirit they have
shown will have it's reward.
