What protestants Should Learn.

On the subject what Protestsnts Should
Learn from Catholics the Rev. Madison c. Pc
ters preached forcible sermon in Broad Street
Baptist church, Philadelphia Pa. He said in
part:
sThe rich Catholic hesitates not to kneel by
the side of the poorest. Protestants have too keen
a sense of smell. Protestants should learn from
Catholics how to give. Catholics generally
poor But behold their churches. Behold the earn
ings they lay upon the altar of the church. Every
Catholic is identified with some parish. There
thousands of Protestants in this city whose church
membership is in their trunks, or in the place
where they used to live They remind me of those
matches that strike only the boxes-when you
have the match you haven't the box, and when
YOU have the box you haven't the match. In caring
for their children Catholics teach us lesson The
Protestant laity need to be awakened to q deep
sense of the magnitude of their duty toward their
children. Here is the source of strength in the
Catholic church. The Catholic church has been
charged with putting too much stress upon good
works and not enough upon faith. Professionalism
has swung to the other extreme and not put enough
stress upon good works. Good works won't save,
but faith without works is dead The Catholic
charities covering every conceivable case of need
and suffering. put Protestants to shame"

The Chief Language.

With the increasing intercourse of the nations
the old question of universal language comes up
at least in the German Misunderstanding topic
of discussion. The tendency toward a common
tongue is and has been for years most strongly
marked by the spread of the English language.
Mulhalls statistics of dozen years old (being the
latest avaable) show the spread of languages for
the first ninety years of the last century. At the
beginning of the century the languages of Europe
were spoken by 100000 people. In 1890 they
were spoken by 401 100000, an increase of nearly
100 per cent. The four principal languages in,1S01
were French, Russian, German and Spanish. The
French amounted TO 1914 per cent and the Spanish
to 1862 English-speaking peoples amounted to
only 12.7. But in 1850 the standing
English, 27.T per cent; Russian and German,
each 1871 per cent? French. 1921 per cent; Spanish,
10T per cent, and the remainder divided between
Italian and Portuguese. The number of English
speaking peonle had grown from 20520,000 to
111,100o00, German aud Russian speaking people
from about 30,Q00,O0O 10 75.0O0.000 each. and
French-speaking people from 31,45,o00 to $780,
00O
The English language had risen from fifth to
first place and was spoken by at least so per cent
more people than any other European tongue. OF
the increase of about 91,000,000 Engsh-speaking
people, about 100000 were in the United States.

Unrest and Work.

The, remedy for unrest is to earn ones rest.
This implies not merely duty TO ones calling but
to ones self The man who tries to get some
where and feels at the end of the year that ke is
farther on the road than he was at the beginning
of it, is not pessmstic and downcast, even though
he is still distant from the realization of his hopes.
We cannot restore the old conditions of labor. We
tend evermore toward working with our heads and
leaving the work that used to be doRe with hands
to senseless machinery. Many of us, too, are
afflicted with fool notion that it is beneath ones
dignity to work with the hands; that it is better
to be spruce clerk ten dollars week than
greasy mechanic at twenty. But it isn't.
If many of those who suffer from this unrest
will take UP occupation fad that calls for
the use of the muscles we shall hear more whist
ling and less signing. Our hands are made to use,
and we grow just as discontinued when we are
forbidden to use them as if we we're ordered not to
use our feet or our stomachs. We have outgrown
the occasion for the appendix vermiformis, but it
will not do to neglect our hands till they wien

AT that moment door at the far end of the
room opened and pale, toil-worn woman entered;
leading by the hand a lovely boy whose Aaxen hair,
blue eyes and fair complexion plainly showed his
Saxon origin. With difficulty she pressed through
the throng of anxious and excited mobiles until she
stood before the monarch himself, then, bending,
she said:
30, gracious king, ] ask that justice may be
done to this boy, the only child of the late Earl of
Holderness and the Lady Alice. He has no father

but, orphaned and utterly friendess, he looks to

of the thames. who angrily exclaimed: His claim,
forsooth What! Dost thou think. then, that
king needs the service of babes such as that! No;
in these troubled times, when our Danish foes
threatening US on all sides, we want men with
active bodies, stout arms and brave hearts. If the
lands of Holdeness be given that child, even
though he were the lawful heir, what could he do
to guard his country"
The little fellow lifted his bright blue eyes to

estly first at the upturncd face of the boy then
upon his tharcs, who were anxously awaiting the
royal decision, and rising, said slowly and solemn
ly: "The king will gladly give all praise and due
rewards to the faithful thames who have served
him so well in times of need, but the estates of
Hoderness must be restored to this child, for they
are his by birthright, and his caim-the orphans

HABITS.

Ned was watching grandpa put on his shoes,
"Why do you turn EN- over to shake Fem before
you put 'em on" he asked
did I 2" said grandpa.
"Why, yes, you did; but didn't see anything
come out. l have to shake the sand out of my
shoes most every morning"
Grandpa laughed. Il didn't notice that I shook
my shoes, Ned, but [ got in the habit of shaking
my shoes every time before putting them on when
l was in India"
why did you do it therel"
"To shake out scorpions or centipedes, or other
nuisances that might be hidden in them"
But you don't need to do it here for we don't
have such things"
Il know. but l formed the habit and now do it
without thinking"
'Habit is queer thing isn't it," said Ned
thoughtfully
Its very strong thing" said grandpa; ere
member that, my boy. habit is chain that
grows stronger every day and it seems as if a
bad habit grows faster than good one. If you

KING ALFRED AND THE ORPHAN

King Alfred was sitting one day in his palace
surrounded by his barons or thanes-as the mobiles
of the country were called in those days-when
he observed that the place of faithful servant
was vacant, and, in answer to his inquiries as to
the absence of the Earl of Holderness, he was
informed that the noble thane and his lady had
both died short time previous. Before the mon
arch could express his grief his informant the
Warrior Wulph, entreated the king to confer on

is whose unrest may become dangerous.
Members of unions who used to work grow so
restless after year of suppression by wholly
senseless strikes that they go forth and destroy.
Men who used to be kept busy teaching school or

up sociological theories and travel around worry

history Of Sacred n1asle in The
Gatbelie Church.
BY Mamie Helen Flynn, Portland, Ore.

The beginning of music as an art, in the sense
we understand it today, may be traced back to
that of Christianity. With Christianity new
civilization gradually took the place of that of
the Romans. With the new religion, mems
thoughts we're led to nobler, loftier aspirations;
and, with the growth of Christianity, music, an
eminenty Christian art, began to flourish. We
have no real knowledge of the exact character of

1t started right at the beginning
This redundant phrase can be ex-
planned by telling that Bankhead, the
first man up, hit the first ball thrown,
square into the face, and Knocked it
tum bling backwards over the left field
fence for four bases. The IoIans were
pretty decent about their hitting up
to the seventh inning. They had six
runs chalked up to their credit when
the grand finale came but these We're
made partially by bad double error
of Alberts and a home run and two
Dagger. But the seventh was simply
awful. Nothing like it has ever been
seen here or probably ever will be
again. Seven times did they clout the
ball safely, twice for home runs and
once for two bases. Eight runs came
home-came home in punches. 1t was
almost as familiar and frequent a
sight to watch the pearl gray uni
forms of the Gaslighters come across
the home plate, as it was to hear their
bats cracking out the fatal safe ones,
which registered against Mr.. HOWE
one of the most fearful drubbings
given to any pitcher in the history of
the league since its inception three
years ago.

terday. In one inning SedaIia ran in
q runs off his delivery, batting him I'M
til the feeders were on their knees
praying for some sort of police inter
ference. Roy Bevis, who evidently
knows something about that tragedy,
kept Haunting it in Roots face all
through the game, but 1t couldn't rat
tie the man who wore a smile that
won't come off," The husky Gaslight-
er was up and coming every minute
and a whole regiment of Delehanty's
could not have pounded p runs off him
yesterday in one inning even though
their lives would have been at stake.
The GlassbloWers are the noisiest,
scrappiest, and most Fingered up team
in the league. They snap around at
the umpire, the opposing players. the
bleachers, and everybody in sight, max
ing the game sound more like a stock
exchange than anything else. It was
necessary several times for Captain
Risley to steady his men. and in one
instance it was necessary for him to
pump orders into Catcher Seigle to
let the umpire alone and go ahead and
play ball" Seigle is inclined to have
bad temper anyhow.

They Came Home in Pairs.

Taken all in all, the IoIans are by
far the fastest ball players seen here
this year. Their hitting fest came on
one of those days when it was fore
ordained" that they should fate their
batting aver ages. But the gas lighters
go at it more like the real "perfesh'
than anybody else They pull together
every minute, and despite the lead
which grew like a mushroom in the
succeeding innings, they batted on and
on, and chased in run after run, just
as if they needed every one and even
then were behind the game. That is
baseball and that is what makes a
team come to the front.
The Saints played a good fielding
game. Cole made two errors which
surprised the audience almost as bad
ly as if some one had dumped a bucket
of cold water over their heads. Gus
Alberts who was in the right garden
dropped two high ones, and they nelp-
ed a good deal towards starting the
awful downfall of the Saints The old
mans error let in one run in the second
and three in the third and that seemed
to take the heart out of young Mr..
HOWE. Lining caught in the absence
of Armstrong who ran off to Fort
Scott. The youngster caught a pretty
game, but the headwork of his prede-
cessor was plainly lacking. Army
knows the weakness of most of the
batters in the league, and uses his
knowledge to advantage If HOWE
had been throwing to him, the result
would doubtlessly have been different.
Not that there are no better catchers
in the business tnan Armstrong, for
there are but few know the business
as we'll as he does 1t is optimistic to
say that we can get along without
him, but it's a big job to I'LL his place
He was fast making the Topeka pitch
ers a puzzle to the teams of the league,
and nobody knows this better than the
twirlers themselves.

The Great Brooklyn Handicap
Taken by "The Picket"
Champion of tho West Beats
Irish Lad by a Nose.
10000 PEOPLEPRESENT
Winner Captured the American
Derby of 1908 at Chicago.
McChesney and Africander Made
a Disappointing Showing.

New York, May 27.-Coming down
along the rail in the last few strides of
the run to the wire, The Picket, the
vests champion in the Brooklyn hand
leap, snatched victory away from the
ever popular Irish Lad, the Brooklyn
winner of last year and the Metropoli-
tan winner of this year.
It was scarcely more than the nod of
a head, but the hardy westerner finish
ed stronger than the Duryea colt whose
terrific pace with Herrnis up to the
very home stretch would have tried to
the utmost the stOutest of heart and
the sturdiest of limb. Frantic cheers
which had been ringing from the
threats of nearly 10000 spectators, died
away when it was realized that Irish
Lad had gone down to defeat
Proper, the California candidate, came
through at the end and beat out Her
mis- for third place. The time for the
mile was 100 % and for the mile and
a quarter 2:06 3-5, one and One-ffth
seconds slower than the race made by
Irish Lad last year. The handicap was
worth $4,000, of which s., 500 went to
the second horse and 81, 800 to the third
A great OutpOuring OF turf deVOtees
witnessed the eighteenth running of the
classic event. Hours before the time
set for the first race the turnstiles at
the gateWays began clicking and before
1 O'Clock the grandstand, club house
and the Dig ueld STAND were Wen uiieu
Before 3 o'clock, the hour for the first
race, both tiers of the double-decked
grandstand was crowded to the limit
the lawn was black with people and
they had begun to overflow into the
field. The crowd was put in a good
humor when the favorite won the first
race.
At the time for the handicap, the
fourth event on the programme, drew
near, the name of Irish Lad, from the
stable of Herman b Duryea, could be
heard on all sides. He had grown into
immense popularity after it had been
definitely learned that there was little
hope for McChesney owing to the in
jury sustained by him in his work a
few days ago. McChesney's owners
frankly admitted that they had little
hope of gaining any distinction in the
race, but We're determined to send him
over the route as an evidence of good
faith.
There were 16 thoroughbreds entered,
and four or five of these had recorded
victories during the past two years in
the principal classic events of the
American turf. In addition to this, four
of them-Irish Lad. Hermis, Hurst
bourne and Africander-had won races
