do they minister to the spiritual and intel

their care, but they also minister 20 their

With SO many children to take care Of

these wise and prudent Sisters have found
Peruna a never failing safeguard.

Catholic Sisters from all over the United

WARNING FROM The OTHER WORLD.
A Cavalry 0fe-er's Narrow
Escape From a Trap in the
Franco German War. :. :.

.IAoN. r are living in the age of
~k discoveries and solutions of
Q wv o great mysteries. Who, iifty
\ Nm years ago, would have
TC~ dreamed of the existence
Of the X.rays, of all the marvels OF
electricity, of baclli and serums!
Yet the human intellect is FAR from
having attained the goal of its desire
Of investigation. On the contrary, the
wonderful discoveries of the great
scientists have but stimulated and
urged it more swiftly than ever along
the great racecourse whose prize and
goal are invention and success!
What marvel il the learning OF the
twentieth century, which has already
made so many impossible things posi-.
BILE. seeks to transform the pretencc of
conjuring MP ghosts into earnest and
to cast light even into the gloom of the
grave?
Ghost stories are told by the thou
sand. and, If the tales of old women
could be believed, we should all have
walked long ago in a blaze of light and
known that precisely at II o'clock
skeletons danced in the cburchyards
and palid ancestral danes wandered
restlessly through every old castle.
But such tales would possess abso-
lutely no interest for the public who
desire to see this subject treated seri-
ously. Therefore the following one is
related on the authority of persons
whose character is a guarantee OF
.rustworthiness.
The incident was related to Joseph
Victor Won Scheffel the famous author
of "Ekkehard." by an intimate friend,
cavalry officer. whom he called $.
and described in the following terms:
His character excludes the pOssibil-
ity of any distrust. a thorough soldier.
very practical in his mode of thought,
frank TO bluntness. yet genuinely relig-
.ous: a man who. though he never talks
Of his plety. in the hour of need sends
forth prayer from the nmost depths
of his heart.
He was cavalry officer and. dur
ing the campaign of 1870 and 1871. was
principally engaged in pursuing Franc
tireurs, service for which his caution,
,oolness and courage bordering upon
recklessnass, rendered him specially
fitted.

Texas and Louisiana are aclznowl-
edged to be the great rice producing
states Of the western hemisphere, and
one would suppose that the natives"
like orientals would use the nutri-
tious cereal as their principal table
dish and standard food. 1t was an
odd commentary then, on the incon-
sistency Of things, and a sad shock to
him, when Passenger Traffic Manager
s. f. B. Morse, of the Southern Pa
cifc-Sunset Route received the follow
ing letter fro Mr.. A. j. McDougale,
of New York:
S. f. b. Morse, Houston, Texas:
My Dear Mr.. Morse: From all had
heard and read about the great South
west, l thought Louisiana and Texas
were the two great sections for rice,
and on little jaunt out as far as Beau
mont made up my mind to try the re.
puted delicious cereal in all sorts and
shapes, feeling sure that on its ma
tive heath 1t would be prepared to per-
lection. The waiter in the restaurant
at Beaumont smiled when l ordered
boiled rice, and politely told me it
would take thirty minutes to prepare
It. Then at Lake Charles, for break
fast, ordered 1t again and was politely
told, mo rice dis mawnin, sab" Saved
up my appetite for dinner on a South
ern Pacific diner and got in early and
at once ordered two portions of rice
and cream.
The steward looked at me in aston
ishment and disgust, as much as to
say, do you think we would serve
such thing on this carr"
This ended my vision Of feasting on
rice. Just thought / woul dmention
the fact to you that 1t is pretty good
food, eve nif they don't seem to think
30 where they grow it.
Yours sincerely,
A. j. McDOUGALE.
Col. Morse's answer was terse and
characteristic: Thanks" said he to
Mr. McDougale, II wish every rice
planter, miller, hotel keeper, restau-
ranteur and housekeeper In the Louis
lana and Texas rice district could
read your letter AS far as the South
ern Pacific is concerned had already
taken steps to have the delinquency
remedled, and some time ago forward
ed larg equantity of our Rice Cook
Books to our Superintendent of Com
missary department, who promises to
utilize many of the 200 recipes for rice
cooking on the Southern Pacific din
ers and make rice dishes Specially"
Thanks for your Jogging 1t will do
good. Yours truly,
