"Sanna" is a story of Nantucket life in which
the types and characteristics of that delightful
island are reproduced with deft hand. If the
mystery of the heros birth involves a sugges-
ton of melodrama in it's conception and the
straining of probabilities in its solution the story
of his love affair depends upon no such adventi-
tious aids to interest. Sanna the be~oine is as
sweet and fresh and wayward as the breezes
that blow across her island home: and the only
thing mysterious about her is the mystery of
undeveloped womanhood in a nature simple,
strong and true Very lovable she is, as the
available young men in the book are quick to
discover, to the cost of all but one; and he who
wins her in the end finds her no easy conquest

So much has been written of spir-
itism that even. reasonable Catholics
have asked themselves if it is posi-
BILE that God permits miracles to be
wrought in favor of false religions.
That the achievements accredited to
spiritism are marvellous can hardly
be doubted unless we wish TO deny
all relia bility to human testimony
based on prudent investigation; but
at the same time ii is not a difficult
matter to discern the cures worked
by spiritism, however striking they
may be. from the works of which
God alone is capable and which he
perpetrates only TO the glory of the
one true church
To begin with it may be ascer-
tanned, upon careful study that the
wonders wrought by spiritism are
purely in the natural order; that is,
they require no power beyond that
of nature. as we know it, to bring
them into operation. For example,
most of the so-cailed cures attrib-
uted to spiritism may be found to be
those of essentially nervous diseases
wherein by producing certain effects
upon the nerves the disorder is eX-
PEELED or at least made to be for
gotten either by ina gination or by
the substitution OF some other slim
ulant to direct the mind into other
channels. Indeed so many people
suffer from what are commonly
called imaginary sickness that as
a rule a cure is not difficult if only
some influencing factor can be
brought to bear to make the invalid
imagine that the sickness has gone.
Such q factor is belief-a strong,
vivid faith, d faith that will blindly
attach itself 10 the object of belief.
faith that will remain mistaken
against the most convincing evi-
dence. If the object to which the
faith attaches itself is person, es-
pecially strong person. real leader
of men. the cure becomes all the
more easy beausc in this case
hardly more than suggestion is
necessary. to effect the cure. Thus
a man may bring himself to forget
that he has a headache if he tries
hard enough although he may have
suffered from headaches for many
years; he remembers his illness
only when he adverts to it: he
feels no pain as long as he can keep
his mind occupied with something
else. But no amount Of spiritism
can make blind man forget that
he has been blind from his birth and
dead man forget that he is dead and
bring him back to life again.
1t will be we'll therefore, to
understand just what is meant by
miracle and what is accepted by the
church as such In the first place
a miracle must be work above the
power of all the visible nature.
More than that it must be work
performed by no created being.
This, however, refers more to fact
than to power; it may be possible

Behold in me Christian martyr" said

he gave up smoking for a time He was
previously one of the greatest lovers of

one thing which annoyed Mr.. Gladstone
sometimes was the smoking of his col
leagues When his throat was giving him
distress in 1898 Sir William resigned him

cigars a day, and il was hard fight for
him to give up the habit at his time of
life.
Any violation of the regulation against
smoking by midshipmen at the United
States naval academy will. in the future.
be treated with the utmost severity. The
navy department has announced i'm an
official communication to Captain Brown
son, superintendent of the naval academy
that midShipmen who violate this reguIa-
ton will he dismissed. There seems to
have been q misunderstanding on the part
of midshipmen in regard to this matter
many of them acted under the assump-
ton that dismissal would only follow a
repeated violation in one year of the
smoking regulation.

inches long is used by the Empress of ia

quantity of tobacco sufficient to give the
smoker two or three whiffs can be put

and the pipe is carefully cleaned before it

times in the course of an afternoon.

for him to attempt the same. He spoke
interestingly of the great work done by
Bishop Carroll in the college, the good

judge brought back memories of other

MiracIes---True and False.

that the good or evil spirits are able
TO do the work; but in the case of
A miracle it must be evident that
the work has been done by God
alone. We may know that God
himself has performed the miracle
when in confirmation of some doc
trine or in testimony of the holiness
of some person a visible sign is
given that is evidently above the
power of the material creation;
otherwise God would be leading US
into direct and invinclbie error.
Miracles are commonly divided
into three classes according to their
nature. In the first class are those
works which are in direct opposi-
ton to the laws of nature. For in
stance il is the nature of every ma
terial substance to exclude all other
bodies from the same space which
it occupies. When. however. two
bodies are made to occupy the same
space this law of impenetrability is
suspended-a work above the power
Of man. We have an example of
miracle of this class when our Lord
appeared in the midst of his apo5--
ties coming through the barred
doors and windows and standing in
the room with them.
In the second class of miracles
we have those works which are
wrought where nature itself is
powerIerss 10 act although the ac-
ton is not in opposition to nature
as i'm the first class. Such miracle
is the resurrection of the dead to
life. Thus when our Lord COM
manded Lazarus to come forth from
the grave in which he had been for
four days and wherein his body was
already corrupting We have per-
formed "A work clearly above the
power of the visible universe.
In the third class of miracles are
reckoned those which may indeed
he performed even by man but not
in the manner in which they are
performed The man recorded in
the scripture who had been lying
sick on his bed for thirty-eight years
might, perhaps, ,have been cured by
human means: but not instantane-
Ously as when our Lord babe him
take up his bed and walk. The
same may be said of many of the
miracles of Lourdes.
In these three classes we have
examples of works that are clearly
above the power of any human
being. 1t is only such works that
the church recognizes as miracles,
and only after it has been made
evident that all the other conditions
for knowing that they have been
wrought by God alone have been
fulfilled. We have yet to hear of
any person or any religious body
outside the church who can lay
claim to such testimonies OF the
divine appreciation. The powers of
spiritism may. indeed work Won
ders, so as to deceive even the
elect; but they cannot restore the
dead to life. or put sight into orbs
