Origin of Earrings.

According to the MOslem creed the
reason why every Mohammedan lady
considers it her duty to wear earrings
is attributed to the following curious
legend: Sarah, tradition tells us, was
so Jealous of the preference shown by
Abraham for Hagar that she took a
solemn VOW that she would give her.
self no rest until she had mutilated the
fair face of her hated rival and bond
maid. Abraham, who had knowledge
of his wife's intention, did his utmost
to pacify his imbittered spouse, but
long in vain. At length, however she
relented and decided to fOrego her plan
of revenge But how was she to full
fill the terms of the vow she had en-
tered into? After mature reflection
she saw her way out Of the difficulty.
Instead of disfguring the lovely fea-
lures of her bondmaid she contented
herself with boring hole in each of
the rosy lobes of her ears.
The legend does not inform us wheth-
er Abraham afterward felt it incum-
bent upon him to mitigate the smart of
these little wounds BY the gift of a
costly pair of earrings or whether Ha,
gar procured the trinkets for herself
The fact remains, however, that the
Turkish women, all of whom wear
earrings from their seventh year, de
rive the use of these jewels from Ha
gar, who is held in veneration as the
mother of Ishmael, the founder of theil

UNFAIRLY taken on herself in the old
DAYS. She had greater absolute free

Miss De Vaux no longer talked to
her of the future. Now ana again she
said of such or such a plan, "John

Fenena's marriage after five years

not the least objection to potential
lovers. If they asked her leave to
court her niece, she said invariably
Fenella was free to choose for herself.
Thus a year passed. Fenella was
finding out things-things bitter to be
borne. She had thrown away happi.

Still it was like a knife thrust when
Miss De Vaux said: "Fenella, John

is result OF this sacrament, which was
also instituted to restore health, if God
SO wills. From all this it may be in
ferred that the Catholic family expects
to be notified of the necessity of sending
for the priest, and in time, while the
patient has still the full use of all his
faculties.
In the case of hysterical people. who
unreasonably and continually send for
the priest, especially at night time, the
doctor should use his Judgment and
common sense to save the priest I'M
necessary annoyance.
The following are absolutely forbidden
any Catholic to allow doctor to do: to
procure an abortion, to perform crani-
otomy (while the child is living) or to
suggest means to prevent the course of
nature. The unborn child has right to
its life. The mother then never should
be saved by the murder of the child, for
the killing of the unborn child is DELHI
crate murder of the worst kind because
the victim is helpless, and it loses soul
as well as destroys life.
1t is ever the physicians province to
save life and not to destroy it. His skill
is shown by not doing rather than by
performing craniotomy, which requires
very little skill or knowledge; he should
be able to perform the caeSarean section
or turn the case over to more cOmpe-
tent doctor; in any event the life of the
mother must never be saved by the muir
der of the child.
These are brief but essential points
for the non-Catholic doctor; to go into
details is outside the scope of maya
zine article, but the doctor who wishes
| further information can easily obtain it
from the parish priest of his town. 1t
is sometimes asked sdoes not the pastor
advise families to discharge nonCath-
Ollie doctor and employ a Catholic in
stead?'' To do so without reason would
be sin, for it deprives a. man of his
means of living. However, if the rights
of the soul are neglected or infringed up
on by any of the ways mentioned in this
article, the pastor will not hesitate, in
fact he is bound, to warn his people
against such doctor and advise them
to employ another, not necessarily q
Catholic. Happily the occasion for such
drastic measures is very rare. The med
ical profession, like others, has its black
sheep; but it is the experience of the
clergy that non-Catholic doctors are
honorable representatives of an honor
able calling, and zealously they carry
out the rules of the church when treat
ing Catholic patients. Unfortunately il
is true that nonC Catholics lay people anc
doctors, do not look upon abortion an6
craniotomy as Catholics regard them
viz, murder. When, however, the mat
ter is put before them in Catholic light
doctors, who de not profess our faith
strictly observe the rules of the Catholic
church in families that belong to it

KEEPS FOODS PURE
interesting Refrigerator Experiments Con-
Quoted by n. S. Cleveland.


Quoted by II. S. Cleveland.
Some interesting refrigerator expert
ments have been made during the
past two weeks by H. S. Cleveland at his
big hardware store, sos and 507 Washing
ton avenue S. The celebrated Herrick
Sanitary refrigerator was used in the ex-
periments and the results have astonished
many householders, butchers, grocers and
others interested in up-to-date refrigera-
tors. The Herrick refrigerator differs
from the old style "ice-box" In that it has
side-icer instead Of the awkward, space
taking top receptacle. The interior con-
sists entirely of spruce wood, packed with
mineral wool, instead of the old-fashioned
cold air current goes in one general direc-
ton and thus does not produce the deadly
moistures so prevalent in the old style
refrigerators. The air in the Herrick is
always dry. To prove this Mr.. Cleveland
placed matches on one Of the shelves sew
eral weeks ago. To-day these same
matches are dryer than they were when
they were placed in the box. Wet paper
placed on the shelves will burn like tind-
er at the end of five hours. Fruit, onions
milk and butter were placed in the refrig-
orator and at the end Of twentyfour
hours there was no sign Of faint. Fruit
and vegetables will absolutely not spoil
They will in time dry up crisp, but they
will not rot. Mr. Cleveland proved con-
clusively that the Herrick was a great
saver Of ice. Il.
This splendid scientific and sanitary re-
frigerator is meeting with splendid pat
| ronage and will do much for healthful san
itation and household economy. The Her
rick Is as reasonable in price as any re-
frigerator on the market.

"BILLY" EDWARDS JAILED
The Trouble Was His Identity Was
Not Known Until He Was
- Released.

Word comes from Waseca, Mimi, that
BILLY Edwards the big-nitter, who has
operated under various DISCUSSES turnout
the northwest and who played star role
in the first scenes Of the Minneapolis
municipal cleanup, is still at his old trade
and as foxy as ever. According to the
report, he worked short-change game
on an innocent member of the Waseca
community, and as result was sent to
Jail for ten days. rs " $3.50
After he had been released and had
made a good getaway, the authorities
learned that they had held the famous
Billy Edwards, who is badly wanted in
Duluth for an offense similar. to that for
which his partner, Cheerful Charlie
Howard is. serving time at Saltwater, and
whom any of thei tWins city officers would
pick, on sight. BACKWARDS is also under
subpoena to r*the Cdistrict court Of this
county, and will be badly wanted If some
of the municipal cases still on, the docket
ever come to trial. 'zt5Ns
1t is said this smooth confidence man
is in good health and spirits, and, despite
the fact that he has many times promised
his. friends and the authorities here thai
he. would lead different life, is still en-.
gagged in getting something for nothing
wherever the opportunity Offers.

TIPS TO CHARTER MAKERS
Ideas Suggested Informally at a
Meeting Of the New Commission
Last Evening.

Several subjects for charter legislation
were discussed informally before the new
charter commission last evening. Nearly
a score of city officials were present, and
most Of them contributed ideas on the
various questions. 81. -..-@~5
Most attention was given to civil serv-
ice and special municipal elections As
sistant Chief Michael Hanley and Fire
Marshal G. w. Ringer spoke for civil serv-
i've in the fire department.. Mayor Haynes
thought it should be made general in all
city departments, and at least in the po-
lice department. Alderman Sam E. Adams
also thought that If civil service was
adopted, it should be made general. Civil
service would keep f1remen and police
men out Of politics, where they had no
business to interfere, argued Alderman
G. A. Westphal. ii. F " 7-21~ -
!, Separate city elections were urged by
Mayor Haynes, Alderman Westphal and
Alderman D. P. Jones, who embodied his
ideas in written communication. AL
derman Adams doubted the advisability
of separate elections, as did Alderman
Harry G. McLaskey.
1t was suggested by several that it was
not so much a question of charter at the
present time as It was to- get the city
on home-rule basis, so that the legisla-
ture could be prevented from interfering
in various ways, and particularly in paw

men Jones, McLaskey. and A. 3. Merrill
in particular emphasized the necessity OF
a home-rule form of government.
| Aldermen Merrill, c.. W.. Clark and
Westphal were Of the opinion that one
alderman from each ward would be suf-
fcient, but he should receive a larger
salary than was allowed at present.
P. M. Hall, health commissioner, adj
dressed the charter commission at some
length on having STRENGTHENING de-
partment which should have complete
/ charge of this important work.
The inequality Of tax assessments fur.
nished food for remarks by Andrew Rim
ker, city engineer, and Alderman Claus
Mumm. The former also spoke in favor
Of civil service which had been in prac.
teal operation in the city engineers de.

farther augmented. The lead Of the
smartly dressed young woman was eager
