The Gregorian Centenary.

The Thirteenth Centenary of ST Gregory the
Great, which is to be celebrated with unusual cere-
monies in Rome during the month of April, is the
subject of timely and interesting article bv Marie
Donegan Walsh in the pages of the April Catholic
World
The writer thus speaks of the character and
power of the great Pontif
The active life work of the Pontiff brought re-
suits immediate and wide-spreading, but after his
death the moral force and influence remained and
endured throughout the ages, and the seeds which
81 gregory sowed brought forth an ample harvest
1he voice which spoke in inspired HomiIies re-
echoes still in the universal church of TODAY.

Augustine and his companions, as at St Gregory's
bidding they went forth from the roof-tree of the

Dowry appraised STILL in the benediction of the
faith wiicf the glorious Pontiff brought to unborn
thousands IN the utermOst ends of the earth! Now,
thirteen centuries after his DEATH when the great
men of far later epochs have passed into forgetfu
ness, the Catholic church keeps the thirteenth Gre
gorian centenary, not alone in the city where St
Gregory lived and labored but all over the Cath
ohc world. Kings, conquerors generals and poll

waged by contemporaries and descendants But the
force of spiritual dominion exerted over Christen-
dom, the benefits to humanity and the Worldwide
fatherdom of the sixth century monk of the Coean
still remain, fresh as in the days when the great
Pontif cherished that nobest inspired ideal of uni
versal unty-of peoples and races and nations and
tongues, gathered under one spiritual head. 1t is
the ideal yet of every true successor of St Peter
but which St. Gregory did more than any other
to strengthen and consolidate"

Nations and LAUGHS

The world laughs, though the nations have diff
ferent ways of showing mirth. The Chinese laugh
is not as hearty expressive as the European
or American. 1t is oftener litter than genuine
burst of merriment. There is little character or
force in it. As for the Arabian laugh, we hear lit
tie of its hilarious ring through the ages of mirth
in the old world. The Arab is generally stoid fell
low, who must see good reason for laugh or be
surprised into If. In Persia man who laughs IS
considered effemnate, but free license is given to
female merriment. One reads of the grave Turk
and the sober Egyptian but it is not recorded that
they have never moments of mirth, when the fez
bobs or the veil shakes under the pressure of
particularly 4good things" In Mohammed himself
Christian writer's have noticed cordially and jo
coseness, and they say there is good ringing laugh
in the prophet with all his seriousness. An Ameri-
can traveller in Europe remarks the italian mirth
as languid but musical, the German as deliberate,
the French as spasmodic and uncertain, the upper
class English as guarded and not always genuine,
the lower class English explosive, the Scotch of
all classes as hearty and the Irish rollicking.

Plus TX and the Student.

Good and great men are tolerant as a rule,
whereas the ignorant are generally intolerant On
one occasion Pope Plus TX walking unattended
through the Vatican galleries. In one of these he
noticed young Englishman gazing rapturously at
one of Raphaefs paintings. The Holy Father stood
still and looked at him. The young man. perceiying
him. made profound obeisance. Then the Pope,
addressing him. said: II presume you are an art
list, my SOM" The young man replied that he had
come to Rome to study painting, but unfortunately
he had not sufficient means to pay the fees required
for admission to the academy Plus TX thereupon
promised that he himself would provide the neces-
sary funds to enable him to pursue his studies
But, your Holiness the Englishman exclaimed
in astonshment, Il am Protestant" THAT does
not alter the case" the Holy Father replied with
kindly smie admission to the studios viii not
be denied you on that account"

The Brownson Memorial.

An event significant and important in the his
tory of our country is the coming dedication of the
public memorial to Orestes Augustus Brownson.
The memorial has taken the form of bust of the
noted American, and will rest upon pedestal some
eight feet in height in Sherman square, New York
City The Catholic World for April gives timely
and learned estimate of Brownson his work, and
the history of the movement which has led up to
the erection of the present monument. The article
by NJ. j. Harson, says:
"Orestes Augusts Brownson was one of the
giants of the nineteenth century. He lowered above
his fellows as towers the average man in group
of boys Great in physical proportions as compared
with most men, he was still greater in his intel
lectua endowments A fine and massive head
crowned his tall, broad-shouldered and sturdy body,
and his strong, expressive face fearless eyes and
long, shaggy hair impressed the heholder with
conviction of leonine power To have him your
side was like having regiment in your defense; to
have him against YOU like facing overwhelm-
ing battalion. Many phrases have been used in
describing his many-sided qualities but the one
which has pleased me most. and which seems to
embrace all the others is that he was a Man of
Courage and a Great American
sBrownson believed that more depended on US
than on nonC Catholics, and that, looking to the fu
turc, we held the destinies Of our country in our

hands. But we must win the minds and hearts of
our countrymen, not by empty boastint or idle as
sertlonS of what Catholics have done in other times
and places, but by proving our own superiority in
wisdom, Intelligence and virtue here and now. The
demagogues of those days, however distorted his
views and misrepresented his motives. and he was
greatly misunderstood. He frequently gave express
sion to his belief in the importance OF Catholic in
tuence, and in his preface to The American Re
public he says: 1 am ambitious even in nv old age
to exert an influence on the future of my country
for which | have made, or rather nv family have
made, some sacrifices and which | tenderly love
Now, | believe that he who can exert the most in

exert the most influence in forming the character
and shaping the future destiny of the American
republic. Previous to and after the outbreak of
the great Civil war, which threatened the destruc-
ton OF the country many of our foremost men hes
ltated as to the real issues involved Brownson was
one OF the first to see the situation clearly and
thundered out his views in no uncertain tones: and
few men of that day did more to inspire loyal de-
vOton to the union, and to set the nation right.

"a contract for the monument was awarded to
the soul ptor, Samuel j. kitson, of Boston, early in
1899. On Nov. IA of that year his design was OK

commentator of the Municipal Art commission
The park commissioners suggested several sites and
Sherman Square park, Seventy-second street and
Amsterdam avenue, was selected as possibly the
most desirable site in the city of New York The

understand. One of the company thinks of word
rhyming with another word which he mentions.
The aim of the party then is to guess what the word

give name to what they guess but describe it in
stead, and each of the company in turn is entitled
to a question. Should the word thought of be

HOW THE GORILLA WALKS.

The gorilla has not only crouching habit, but
he walks on all four of his legs and has the motion
of most quadrupeds, using his right arm and left
leg at the same time, and alternates with the left
arm and right leg. 1t is not exactly walk or a
trot, but kind of ambling gait while the chimpan-
zee uses his arms as crutches, but lifts foot
from the ground little in advance of the other.
He does not place the palm of the hand on the
ground in walking only the fingers from the second
Joint.

Aunt Busys spectacles fell right off her funny
old nose when she read your letter, Gertrude. She
was filled with horror to read your opinion of the
dear, DEAR fine interesting fellows-the boys. Why,
Aunt Busy thinks her boys the dearest chaps in the
world and she believes if the little girls would only
treat the boys as gently and kindly as they do the
pussy-cats, that the dear fellows would not act
rough and rude. Please stop, and think how old
Kitty-puss acts and looks when her fur is rubbed
the wrong way. How does she act when people
scold her and say very loud and very ugly Scat"
and "Get out of the way!"
Now, the poor, dear boys are treated just the
same way only worse-much worse Aunt Busy
wants the neces to distinctly understand that she
thinks the boys are DEAR good fellows and she will
not have them abused Treat the boys kindly and
you viii discover the real sincere sweetness their
natures. Treat them hnkindy, abuse them, argue
with them, and balky mules are gentlemen com
