Reflections of a Spinster.

Love that needs proving is counter
felt.
When jealousy sleeps, love is digging
her grave.
Remuneration is giving up what we
can't have.
Friends are kept by silences-not by
condolences
To remain a woman's ideal, a man
must die bachelor.
He whom a child takes by the hand,
lives close to God.
The worlds verdict is easier to over
rule than that of ones own conscience
Ecstasy is happiness magnlted INTO
pain.-From Everybody's Magazine 1ol

SMALLPOX SUBSIDING

In Maine, due to the efforts of the boards of
health in various towns insisting upon vac
cination.
There are few specifics in medicines, but
it is proved beyond any question of doubt,
that there are three positive and well proved
specifics pacci1e in smallpoa, ontitonine IN
diphtherja, and U-1-t-cene IN Rheumatsm
rheumatism is thought by many people,
to be a disease that will yield to external
treatment, such as liniments, plasters, ETC.,
but science has proved it to be a blood dis
ease due to Uric Acid deposits in the joints,
muscles and tissue, hence the pains peculiar
to rheumatism appearing in the shoulders
today, and perhaps the knee and heart to-
morrow.
U-ri-cene, the new Rheumatic Cure, posi-
lively neutraliZes Uric Acid, acts mildly
upon the liver, kidneys and bowels, and
drives this poisonous Uric Acid out of the
system through these organs.

tee to refund your money if, after a fair
trial, U-ri-cene Tablets fail to relieve all

This is Il point that should be rccog-
nizcd by those who are of the opinion
that the Catholic religion demands OH
the part of its adhcrents nothing but
blind faith and servie obedience.
The address which Father Judge de.
livcrcd before the head masters of the
Catholic colleges at their recent meet
ing at Chicago is the fourth article.
1t shows the relation of the Catholic
Church to education in the past and
the present.
Margaret Il. Sullivan gives an ac-
count of the Institute of Pedagogy
which was opened in New York last
October The object of this university
is the training of teachers for positions
as required by school board resula-
tons. Hitherto Catholic teachers have
been obliged to get their training in
non Catholic institutions. The de-
nlands of the institute are high and
the purpose of the organizers is that III
point of scholarship it shall rank only
with the best sectarian institutions in
the country.
The new magazine is convenient i'll
form and attractive in appearance,
Its coming is in response to an earnest
demand on the part of those who have
tie interests of Catholic pedagogy at
heart. 1t deserves and will surely at

One naturally asks why say Catho-

geography or Catholic arithmetic. The
answer is clear and will appeal to
many not specially interested in
Catholicism. Tho Roman Catholic be-
licves primarily in spiritual values as
distinguished from economic values,
and holds the latter of Importance
