Consumption

Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. "Eat plenty of
pork" was the advice to the
consumptive 50 and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the con8umptive needs
most.
Scott EmulSionisth emod-
ern method of feeding fat to
the consumptive. Pork is too
rough for sensitive Stomachs.
SCOTS Emulsion is the most
reflned OF rats, especially
prepared for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, but
SCOTS Emulsion does more
than that. There is some
thing about the combination
of cod liver oil and hyPophoS-
phites in SCOTS Emulsion
that puts new life into the
weak parts and has a special
action on the diseased lungs.

ORIGIN of pouai Bible.

The interest for Catholic attaching
to the origin of the English translation
of the Bible known as the Douai rem
ders of interest letter written to a
London paper, by Father Henry Nor
bet Brit Zone of the Benedictine ex-
lies from France) in which he says:
Some confusion seems to exist and
the expelled Benedictines have been
identified with the members of the
college founded by Cardinal Allen at
Douai in 1868. This arises from the
fact that there were two English col
leges in Douai; the great secular col
lege of Cardinal Allen and st. Greg
ory's school, carried on by the English
Benedictines. The monks established
themselves at Douai only in 1G05 and
had no hand in the translation of the
English version of the Bible ascribed
to them by so many newspapers last
week. Honor to whom honor is due.
This belongs solely to the members of
the secular college either when at
Douai or Rheims"

Conversations of
Our Club = B By Srsstss H.

Bonneville, because, if worst comes to
worst, you can use the public schools;
and it seems to me that the college and
university do not receive the attention
their Importance demands, and the at
tention given to your colleges is given
to them rather as petits-seminaires or.
as feeders to your ecclesiastical SEM
inaries and religious orders, than as
schools for the education of the lay
chiefs OF the Catholic society. They
seem to me, to a great extent, to fail
in both objects. With all submission
to authority, l think your bishops
would better accomplish their object
the obtaining of candidates for the
senlinary-if they confined their exer-
tons mainly to establishing. instead of
colleges chiefly for the education of
secuIars., little seminaries, as feeders
of the theological seminary. They
would find more vocations, and more
speedily supply the want of priests,
which is now almost everywhere so
deeply felt 1 think their best plan
would be to confine their direct efforts
to supplying the wants of the spiritual
society, and leave the college and uni
versity. save in what regards religion
and morality. to the secular society.
We have all agreed that the church is
not bound to provide or to give a sec
u,ar education to seculars, and there
fore she is not bound to train UP the
Law chiefs of society. She provides for
the spiritual society, and secular So
ciety ought to provide for it's own
wants. No doubt there have been
times and places iii which, if the
church had not volunteered to provide
for those wants, no provision would
have been made for them"

Hire a Seat in a Pew.

The late Bishop of Providence, R.
l., used to say:
The first thing for young man
to do, who wants to be a success in
the community, is to hire a seat in
a pew at church and be in it at High
Mass every Sunday
There is a profound philosophy I'M
der that simple bit of advice.
1t is impossible not to- think of it
every Sunday as one attempts to en-
ter church and finds the rear aisle
blocked with young men, some of
whom apparently are no account fell
lows who have no ambition to take
their proper place in the affairs OF
the parish, who want to get their re-
ligion cheap, who are driven to church
only by the fear of hell and who give
to God just as little love, service and
cooperation as they can help.
If any young man of Catholic spir-
it should read this who has only late
" joined "the rear guard" let him
get out from amongst them and take
Bishop Hendricken's advice-hire
seat, like every parishioner should do,
and occupy it at High Mass every
Sunday like dutiful. bOund-to-get-
ahead and self-respecting man.

ostensibly to found missions and
build homes for eX-priests. A frac-
ton of the amount collected would be
invested in some ramshackle den.
Chiniquy would blow in the balance,
set fire to the mission or home re-
port that he had been burned out by
Catholics and hit the road on an
other foraging expedition. Ex-priest
Seguin. who created a great furore
some years ago by turning Protestant
and taking the platform, was one of
the most accomplished scoundrels
that ever went unhung. The garbage
this fakir dished up to A. P. A. s would
have turned the stomach of a sewer
rat
'Ex-priest Slattery was a bird of
the same feather, though more cum
ming. He worked the 'ex-priest rack
ct for all there was in it.
With brazen effrontery be brand
ed his former brothers as clan
of lecherous libertines and from the
very house tops denounced the little
sisters of the poor as prostitutes.
when at the same time the rascal
could not have been trusted with the
virtue OF seven-year-old girl. Prot
estant missionaries in Porto Rico,
Cuba and the Philippines will appeal
to the Chiniquys, Seguins. and Stat
terys. but the sacrifice of the blood
baptized ideals of the Republic is
frightful price TO pay for such cattle.
The better class may. as before OBJ
become inffdels, but never
Baptists. Presbyterians or Methodists
If inffdels are doomed to be damned,

Prof Frederick R. Honey of New
Haven, Conn, formerly professor OF
mechanical drawing in the Yale scien'

the Catholic church at New Haven. He
was baptized several weeks ago and
recently received Holy Communion.
The announcement that he had be-
come a Catholic was surprise to his

Honey, prominent in Newport society.
Prof. Honey's wife died six months
ago. Much of his preparatory study
for the Catholic church was taken I'M

Hartford so it is said.

as the stage can accommodate.-Ros-

1t may not be generally known that
the great Polish novelist, Henryk
Sienkiewicz, who has been called the
modern Scott, lived for short time
in this country. About twenty-five
years ago Sienkiewicz with Count b.
zenta and his wife, who is popularity
known as Nine. Helena sModjeska, and
certain other Polish Catholics, went to
California with the purpose of found
ing a colony upon the Brook Farm
plan. Of course the project proved
visionary; but its results were not the
less happy on that account Modjeska
was compelled to learn English and
return to the stage to repair her shat
tered fortunes; and Sienkiewicz, for
like reason, was obliged to resume the
literary labors which he had interrupt
ed. Perhaps if the attempt at trans
cendentalism had proved successful,
we should have had none of those no.

DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE
FOR GOVERNOR OF IOWA.

jeremiah B. Sullivan, Democratic
candidate for governor of Iowa, is one
of the leading lawyers of that common
wealth No other lawyer appears more
regularly before the bar of the supreme
court of the state and none is listened
to with greater attention and respect
than the man who has been made the
standard bearer of his party. He is so
thorough in the preparation OF his
cases, so brilliant and fascinating N
argument, so logical and convincing In
his deductions of law and fact, that the
justices of the highest tribunal OF
Iowa always welcome his appearance
before them. Then, too, he has sunny
temperament and magnetic personal
ity which give him a charm that is one
of the finest attributes of the man.
For fifteen years he has been an in
fuential and powerful factor in the
counsels of his party. He has twice
presided over Democratic state conven-
lions. On one occasion he ran for con-
gress in the Eighth district against
Representative Hepburn and made
substantial inroads upon the over
whelming Republican majority of the
district.
His nomination for governor was the
result of a spontaneous movement In
his behalf which seemed to be based
upon the conviction that he was the
best man in the state to make the race.
AS a. matter of fact, he never had OPP
position among the delegates after they
were assured Mr.. Sullivan would ac-
cept the nomination.
The career of this country lawyer
furnishes a fine illustration of what a
young American can accomplish for
himself if he possesses honesty of pur-
pose ambition and indomitable energy.
Mr.. SulIivan's beginning was humble.
His father was a poor man. He did
not possess the means to send his boy
to college, but that made no difference
to the boy. He found a way of gaining
knowledge. He read books. He read
them with the enthusiasm of the stu
dent and never forgot their teachings.
He loves books still. Wherever you
go in his beautiful home in Creston you
find books lying heaped upon the floor,
piled upon tables and obtruding from
every shelf and niche in the house.
