OBLIGATION OF THE INDEX.
Its Laws Were Intended to Bind All
Catholics and Do So.

the strict terms of the Index Congre-
cation might be applied in a Catholic
commonwealth, just as a book contain

Catholics of every shade of belief, and
unbelief live under the same roof with

An AngIican Church sohnol

Mr.. Henry Miller, the secretary of
the Church association, has sent an ac-
count of the so-called religious instruc-
ton given in the public elementary
schools of Dorchester, in the diocese of
Oxford
Mr.. Miller says that the infants are
taught to say the Hail Mary every
morning at the beginning of school );
the Hail Mary forms part of the
prayers used daily at the opening both
of the boys and girls schools; the
children say it altogether; it seems diff
ficult to find a child who does not know
it. All the children are required to
make the sign of the cross at the OPEN
ing prayers in the school. The girls
are taught that they ought to say the
Hail Mary in their private prayers
in the evening. Some of the parents
have been astonished at hearing their
children saying the Hail Mary at
home.
There is a crucifix in each school. In
the girls school, on the left of the cru
cifix. a picture of the sacred heart
of Jesus; -on the right the sacred
heart of Mary. The children are ex-
pected to bow to the crucifix. The in
fants are taught to do so before be-
ginning morning prayer. The children
are expected to attend children's
mass" on saints days. This service
is called mass" by the vicar, his wife,
the teachers and the children. This
mass" is a substitute for the "relig-
ious' instruction.
The children are all carefully in
structed to bow to the "altar" at these
masses" If they forget, the wears
wife is in attendance to see that the
children bow to the altar" on entering
the church. Several girls who refused
to bow to the altar" were caned on
their return to the school from the
.mass,' and the reason for their being
caned was publicly announced to the
school. One candidate for confirma-
ton was refused presentation to the
bishop because he would not go to con-
fession.-London Daily News.

Avn Unknown Benefactor.

The Rt. Rev. Bishop of Cleveland re-
ceived last week anonymously a letter
containing $3.50 for charity The letter
was simply signed "a Friend of Chari-
ty." 1t requested that the money be
divided into equal shares and distribut-
ed among such charitable institutions
as the bishop might designate.
The bishop complied this week with
the generous donors wish by dividing
the sum among st. Vincent's and ST
Ann's asylums, charity hospital and
st. Johns hospital all of this city. The
donor requested that acknowledgement
of the receipt of the money be made
through the Universe, and the right
reverend bishop takes this opportunity
of thanking him for his zeal and chari-

The Catechism.

The holy see is busily engaged in
rejuvenating the catechism. In Italy
several bishops are at work editing a
catechism that shall do for the whole
country. In France a like work is
going on. The pope has greeted favor
ably the new Bourges catechism print
ed by order of Mgr. Sermonnet Spon-
taneously the mind has sought the
chief difficulty of the catechist. The
catechism is the most sublime and
most effective book of humanity; it is
therefore in its very definition and es-
sence the hardest to write and to ex-
plain. History shows few doctors who
have found the subtle and mysterious
means of joining this individual in
truction to theology.

Bourke Cochran on Happiness.

What Constitutes Real Happiness?"
is the subject which Mr.. Bourke Cock
ran, with a good deal of wisdom and
insight, expounds in New York
paper. a9fi
What is happiness?'' he asks.
rs it fame?"
Some wise men hold that fame is
posthumuous. and notoriety contemp-
oraneous. To be gazed at in.
the street or in a public conveyance
soon pals upon the mind; from being
source of satisfaction it becomes
source of embarrassment. The promi-
nence which has cost a lifetime of in
dustry and self-denial to acquire can
be forfeited in a moment by an ill-con-
sidered act or a maladroit expression.
rs power happiness? Ask
the possessor of it, and he will tell you
that it is an obstacle to all content
ment. Is knowledge happi-
ness? The utmost that a life devoted
to study can hope to accomplish is to
discover the fountain of knowledge;
not one of us can ever hope to slake
his thirst at it.
rs wealth happiness? Look at those
who possess it and tell me if you think
they are happy race. 1 have
heard of jolly beggars. but no one has
ever heard of jolly millionaires.
The cripple sometimes smiles on the
bed to which he is chained.
1t is as natural for workman to sing
while the obpect of his labor assumes
a form in which it will be at once the
monument of his industry and the
source of his wages, as it is for a moth
er to sing over the cradle of the child
she has borne. But who ever
heard of millionaire singing a comic
song or whistling a merry tune as he
clips coupons in a subterranean cell?
From a somewhat extensive observa-
ton of life 1 can say with perfect sin
cerity that in my judgment hopeless
misery exists nowhere except among
the idle rich. Happiness con-
sists, not in our possession, but in our
selves; not in what we have, but what

The Evictor Busy.-Mr. B. K. Lucas,
sub-sheriff of the County Limerick, ac-
companied by bailiffs arrived in Foynes
on Thursday by the morning train,
and having obtained the assistance of
the local police force, proceeded to evict
a couple of farmers in the district from
their holdings. This devils work"
having been accomplished the party
journeyed to Longhill, where the lands
of tenant, who, on former occasion.
tasted the sweets of eviction-he having
been elected from another holding close
by-were visited, but no seizure was eff
fected, as no cattle were found on the
lands.
In the afternoon the sheriff and bai-
lifts put IN an appearance at Glin, and,
procuring the aid Of sergeant and two
constables. effected a seizure of a COW
and calf on the holding of a small
farmer named John Hayes, at Bally-
goughlin. The tenant, or rather the
cottier, for he possesses but some few
acres of reclaimed bog on the Windle
estate, is the father of family of eight
young children, is himself an old and
partly disabled man, and has been in
most destitute circumstances for years
back. To show the extreme poverty
of the Hayes, two of his children died
couple of months since. He had not
shilling to bury them with and it
was the charity of his neighbors that
did so. He has a little tillage on his
miserable holding. for the man is in
dustrious, and this and the COW and
calf seized were his only means of sup
port for the coming winter.

Technical Instructions in Limerick
At the first meeting of the County
Limerick technical instruction commit
tee, Rev. Father Nolan was unani-
mously elected chairman.
A long discussion took place with re-
gard to the ALLEGATION of funds and the
appointment of teachers for technical
instruction in the county.
Mr.. Ryan, J. p, Killenure, said ESQ
had been allocated by the county coun-
Gil, and although the department would
only give them e430. Mr.. Blair, from
the department, had informed them
that they might vote larger sum
from the rates if they wished
Mr.. Rich, representing the depart
ment, said he knew of no precedent for
taking more from the rates than the
department was prepared to give.
In connection with the teaching of
needle work it was suggested that no
action should be taken as regards sub
jects taught, or supposed to be taught,
by the board of national education.
Father Casey, P. p, Abbeyfeale, said
the board had promised to help them in
Abbeyfeale, but when he had put up
the plant the board would not pay.
After some discussion it was decided
to ask the sanction of the department
for the appointment of one instructor
in basket making. two in domestic
economy and one in manual training.

that she called Kierans a murderer, a
coward, and cur, but denied that she
had threatened to stone him. She
thought she was justified in calling
him a murderer, as he had murdered
her brother.

Mayor-Mrs. Heeney, you will have
to give up this kind of thing. You
will have to find sureties to be of the
peace.

wish for one kindly reply. You would

decline TO take any part in coronation
while my country is denied the right of
constitutional government, and some
of the bravest of my fellow countrymen
are in prison under a brutal coercion

action of the mayor will receive the

Saturday night apparently in the
usual spirits. His non-appearance in
Sunday excited no suspicion, the pro-
prietor thinking he was taking a rest,
but when at $50 this evening the bed
room door was opened the body was
found lying on the floor with nothing
but jersey on. There was fearful
cash on the left side of the throat,
completely severing the jugular vein.
The body was stiff. Death must have
occurred many hours previously. An
open razor was found on the floor near
the body. No reason can be assigned
for the rash act, as the deceased had
some money in his possession, and was
not out of employment.

THE SOLITAIRE HABIT.
According to This Testimony 1t Is One to He Avoided by
 Married Men.

"Take my advice" said a married man to friend who is engaged, and never contract the solitaire habit. 1t is fatal to domestic happiness. You seem surprised, but it is the truth. Apparently nothing could be so inno- cent and harmless as sitting in ones own home, with pack of cards play ing solitaire. But the habit grows on one so.' says the Philadelphia Rec ord "The victim eventually finds that he is losing his will power. He be- comes an unsocia ble tiend He cannot concentrate his mind on anything else. He loses his taste for reading and conversation bores him. His wife icannot get him to go out with her, and she regards him as a disagreeable old bear. He may make up his mind to leave the cards alone, but his will is gone. He is restless and irritable, like a toper without his drink. 1 know what I'm talking about, because I'm q slave to the habit. That's why warn you"
