THE LEAGUES OWN MONTH.
Sweet Thoughts in Verse and Prose-

June is prominently the month of
the Sacred Heart and later saves have
enriched it with many indTz~nces.
For any exercises of devotion. public
or private, in honor of the Sacred
Heart, Pope Plus * granted an indul-
gence of seven years for each day. and
a plenary indulgence, on the usual con
ditions. for any one day in the month
AT choice. Pope Leo XIII added 300
days more for each time that person
assisted at the aforesaid devotions. and
"a plenary indulgence for being present
a them ten times.
Therefore, as many holy masses as
possible should be heard. visits made.
and holy communions received. during
the month. Like the tender heart of a
mother. the heart of Jesus cannot re-
fuse what we ask; and there are many
and great things to be asked-that the
many souls which perish may be saved:
that evil may be prevented; that the
kingdom of God may be spread over the
entire earth; that the heart of Jesus
may be worthily loved by all human
hearts.
The general intention for the month
as recommended by the Holy Father. is

RELICS OF SAINTS.
Explanation That Discounts a Famil.
lar Sheer of Protestant Traveller.
II.

Who has not heard sneers about the
relics Of saints venerated in continental
countries? The Protestant traveller is
accounted witty who tells, for instance
of seeing i'm different churches two or
more skulls os the same SAINT or
marCyr. The opportunity for this
form of qualification is rarely missed,
and the usual TRADE follows-against
priests for their impostures and peas
ants Cor their superstition We are
eratified to find the ignorance or mall
evidence of many travellers regarding
sacred relics fittingly rebuked by a
writer in the "Athenaeum" april 22).
He says in a notice of "Shrines of
British Saints a recently published
book by Mr.. ]. Charles Wall CAN'T
quarry Books" Methuen & Coz:
One of the curious results Of the
strange custom Of Remembering the
bodies Of saints was the making Of
Shrines or reliCuaries that took the
form Of that member of the body a
piece of which was enclosed, such as
the head. arm, foot or hand The con-
struction of such reliquaries gave scope
for the exercise of the highest art of
the goldsmith and jeweler. When it
took the form of A head it was usually
called a chef. The British museum has
an early example eleventh century, of
ire mead or ST. EuStace. winch Is here
figured. This chef formed part
OF the treasures of the cathedral church
of Basic. The early shrine or
case of st. Lachtin's arm, OF beautiful
engraved native workmanship in the
museum of the Royal Irish academy,
is of bronze. but the hand is of
silver, as well as the enriched base of
the arm.
Mr.. Wall aptly remarks that it is
this description of the reliquary that
has led from time to time to unde-
served charges of fraud, made by those
who were ignorant Of or wilfully mis-
represented the usual nature of such
shrines. Thus a head of St Eustace'
or an arm of St. Lachtin, did not of
necessity imply that the whole head or
the whole arm was enclosed in such
reiquary. but merely-as was well
known and understood by the faithful
that q fragment Of bone from that par
ticular part of the saints body was
therein enclosed. Doubtless there were
cases of fraud in relics: but when the
truth is known about these member re-
fquaries, it becomes obvious that there
Is no need FOR cynical surprise at a
saint possessing several heads in diff

So impsrceptihy that We can mark nor

And then again day after day till the

Be patient-oF, be patient, Though yet

At the close of the sermon a big

A Woman Who Succeeded

Writing of american Women in
Business" in the New IDEA Wo-
MANS MAGAZINE for August, Miss
Elizabeth Howard 'Westwood says {:
eff you talk to the heads of business
concerns which employ large numbe's
of women, they will tell you stories
which tax your credulity. One of
Chicago's biggest department stores has
as the buyer of its jewellery a woman
who started in as messenger girl
twelve years ago. Her parents were
the poorest Russian immigrants. She
WAS kept in school only until she was
of working age. From the first she
showed unusual intelligence and in
dustry, and has risen rapidly from
step to step until she now draws sal
ary of So, year, and makes
nearly as much again on her commits
sions. She has passed many men in
her race and won out entirely on the
grounds of her industrial efficiency.
This is, Of course, q case so unusual
that it seems almost to belong to the
class of miraculous occurrences. But
it has proved that, given the ability,
sex is no obstacle.

however. In some instances rust has
been found and does some damage.

Il festival, and if the numbers that
patronized it counted for anything,
it was another success. Several races
took place, attording a great deal of
amusement for the crowd. The two
