translation by Joseph McKabe. 1t may
be recalled that this authors Riddle OF the

cesses of its day. In the earlier work
Prof. Haeckel made comprehensive sur
vey of the general questions Of science az
they concern the whole universe. In The
Wonders of Life" the author has confined
himself to organic science with special
stress on the law of substance and the

OF the work is as he says the construction

Payinu Just Debts,

A New Jersey priest says: mo
Catholic can make valid confession
who culpably refuses to pay his loans
and debts. If he cannot pay at once,
he must pledge himself to save up and
pay as soon as possible. This means
that only on these conditions can the
sinner be forgiven by God. That per-
son is unworthy of absolution who
neglects to keep his pledge to pay;
who refuses to pay any because he
cannot pay all; who decides to leave
the burden of restitution to his heirs.
1t is better not to go to confession at
all than to go with unworthy DISPOSE
tions. God is not mocked Our pied
ges to the priest are made to him as
Christ's ambassador in the confess
sional and are binding as if made to

eyes, fresh color and eager look told

Of school, she had the air of culture
which is an added attraction to a
blithe young face. 1t was mothers
turn now. Did she know how my heart
went out to her for her unse;fish
words? Too many mothers, in their
love for their daughters, entirely over
look the idea that they themselves
need recreation. They do without all
the easy, pretty and charming things,
and say nothing about it; and the
daughters do not think there is any
self-denial involved. Jenny gets the
new dress and mother wears the old

keeps house. Emily is tired Of study

The Aqe to Marry,

The girl who marries at twenty is
usually quite convinced in her own
mind that she will be absolutely and
perfectly happy all her life long, sim
ply because she seldom looks far into
the future. Her husband is all she
sees or wants to see, and advice, ques-
tionings, and what not, fall upon deaf
ears.
But the girl who marries at twenty
five is tolerably sure of domestic hap.
piness. She does not enter into the
bonds of matrimony without thinking
well of the life she is about to take
up. These few extra years of her life
have given her time to see how others
manage and mismanage their matri,
monial affairs, and she learns a good
deal from the mistakes of others. She
has the advantage over the girl Of
twenty in this way, and does not step
into many Of the errors that she
would not know how to avoid were
she younger
At twenty-five most girls have seen
that it is not always the most brilliant
wedding that is the forerunner of the
happiest married life, or that the most
dazzling prospects guarantee every
day joy and peace. A girl at twenty
five is more able to see around the
subject and weigh the pros and cons
than her younger sister, for this one
does not mind nor care what happens
SO long as she is with her sweetheart.
Up to about that time other people
have usually done and settled things
for her, she only saying what she
granted that such smoothing Il her
path will still go on. Married folks,
however, whether they are very young
or of ripper age, have to learn quickly
to depend upon themselves, and it is
! then that they learn the difficulties,
and often shipwreck their happiness.
They get into way of not caring, and
it is then love soon flies out of the
window.

ANSWER FAILS TO ANSWER.
A Roland for an Oliver Does Not Fill
the Bill by Any Means.

This paragraph is going the rounds
of the Catholic press:
An English preacher writes to the
Guardian to ask "By what right does
the Spanish government order two
crosses to be removed from the Eng
lish church recently consecrated at
Barcelona" The Catholic Times
quite pertinently replies: "By the
same right that the English govern
ment orders that no Catholic shall
occupy the throne nor become Lord
Chancellor of England or Lord Lieu
tenant of Ireland. BY the same right,
too, that the British constitution calls
all Catholics idolators and blasphem.
ers, and insults believers in the doc
trine of Transubstantiation. BY the
same right, too, that British law for
bids legacies for masses for deceased
persons, and calls prayers for the dead
a superstitious use."

English preacher by the Catholic
Times is just Roland for an Oliver,
and convicts both for exercising an in

of the merit of intolerance whether it
be exhibited in Spain or in England.

Disfiqurinq Habit.

There's bad habit growing among
American girls, which anyone who
values the elegance of her appearance
on the streets will guard against care
fully. 1 mean the habit of swinging
ones arms as nature never intended
them to be swung, and most UNI
lovely practice it is!
"Your American girls are charm
ing" said a visiting foreigner the 9TH
er day. "They are vivacious, they are
inteiligent-but they will swing their
arms. To walk with one, it is like
walking with an animated windmill
1t spoils, it spoils."
And it does "spoil." There was no
exaggeration in the quantity broken
English. It can nullify the effect OF
the most engaging features, of the
most fashionable costume.

Title of "Loafer" Fits Many Girls.

Title Of "Loafer" Fits Many Girls.
A girl loafer. That does not sound
very pretty, does it? And yet there
are good many girls whom the title
fits. In other words, there are girls
who spend their time doing absolutely
nothing. Circumstances do not render
it necessary for them to earn their
living, and so they stay at home and
fritter the precious moments away in
useless pursuits or idleness Don't
good many of them lie in bed in the
morning and let their mothers get up
and get breakfast? And don't you
think they also dress up in their best
clothes and spend the afternoons en-.
joying themselves while their mothers
stay at home and prepare the evening
meal? And when they are home they
spend their time reading trashy nov-
e.s or trimming equally trashy hats.
When girl goes to a party and is
late in getting to bed she looks on it
as quite proper and natural that she
should be in bed late the next morn
ing, and all of the family accepts the
fact as matter Of course But if tho
mother is up half the night with an
ailing baby, neither her lazy daughter
nor any other member of the family
seems to think it necessary that she
should stay in bed and make up her
broken sleep. Perhaps if some of
these girls could appreciate the enor-
nous value of time they would not
waste it. Our lives are such tiny drops
in the ocean of time, and we can new
er, never call back one precious lost
minute.
Dear girls, don't allow yourselves to
be called by that ugly word "loafer,'
and yet you will be if you deserve it.
If your brothers lie around the house
all day, half dressed and doing moth
ing, they would be called "loafers," 50
why not you as we'll as they? Loaf,
ing" is habit that grows on one with
fatal rapidity, and unless you want to
be held irrevocably in it's clutches you
must break away from it at once

the two PHILOSOPHERS are here and
now, to great extent, exclusive. So
cialism's philosophy certainly tends to
eliminate the spiritual senses by dim
inishing emphasis, if not always by
exclusion. What Catholicity regrets
and condemns as an accident and an
abuse in the present order is found In
Socialism enthroned as a principle
and sanctioned as law. Socialism
comes with no sense of the souls real
ity, no sense of sin, or discipline and
penance, of individual responsibility.
Its analysis of social wrongs omits
sin as factor, it's constructive re.
form contemplates no spiritual power,
nor reassertion of the supremacy of
God and the sanctity of His law.
"Catholicity belives that mans
heart is chiefly to blame for socia.
wrongs; Socialism blames our institu-
tions, our environment. Catholicity
looks on the social question as mainly
one of sin, Socialism sees no sin, sees
only social questions. The Socialist
takes advantage of class hate and ap-
peals to it, Cathoiicity would ex-
tinguish it by the charity of God
Thus Socialism prevents an analysis
OF social questions which includes no
cement of sin; it proposes plan of
reform which makes no note of grace.
Catholicity sees sin omnipresent, and
the redeeming power of Christ intend
ed to conquer it. She looks to con-
science in her final hope-conscience
whose torch is lighted by the hand OF
God, but in Socialism she hears only
of institutions to replace it, and these
built on an unspiritualized humanity.
Catholicity looks for repentance in the
heart, contrition on the lips and love
in the eyes of all reform, but she finds
in Socialism the heart unmoved to feel
its guilt, lips speaking only words of
spiritual forgetfulness and eyes brill
liant only with the hope of present
conquest"

Patrick Doherty of Donegal, Says He
Won't Pay It.

ssS' ~ -
Patrick Doherty, the Carnmalin Co.
DonegaD fisherman who was hailed be-
fore the local magistrates on July 81
for having his name printed in Gaelic
letter on his cart, was fined one penny
and costs, which he very properly re-
fused 10 pay.
1t came out at the hearing that if
Doherty would let one of the "peelers"
have some garbhan at reduced rates
there would have been no trial at ali.
1t was clearly a case of graft, and the
fisherman wouldn't stand for it, for
evidently he had been reading the
papers. So Constable Dougald, who
must have been q Scotch-lrishman, or
something, had the poor fisherman up
for trial and there was some fine legal
hair-splitting in the course of the
hearing
TO add to the treason" of the case
it all happened on the 18th of July,
when Constable Dougald found the de.
fendant and caught him red-handed
with his name printed in Gaelic char
acters on the cart.
After good deal of legal quibbling,
the defendant was called to the stand
and for while remained as mute as
became more communicative and said
that every man, woman and child In
the seven parishes could read the
name on his cart except the police,
who ought to be ashamed of them
selves. He further advised them to
learn Gaelic, to which pompous
sergeant replied that they didn't need
it in their business.
"Then, in that case, ye ought to
lave the country" said Doherty, with
a good deal of truth.
Asked by the Magistrate if he had
anything else to say, the defendant
deposed that Constable Dougald want
ed to hypothecate half of his stock Of
garbhans, by way of perquisites as a
servant of the British Crown, and the
Magistrate didn't see anything partic
ularly wrong in that.
"Then how am l going to make my
living?" asked Doherty.
The representatives Of British law
and order laughed loud and long at
this impossible question.
Finally, it was brought out that the
cart in question belonged to somebody
else.
"But we must convict some one,'
walled Magistrate Fleming in despair
Certainly, certainly" said the court
officers in chorus. "Tis clearly a case
for transportation beyond the high
seas"
And the outcome of it was that Pat
rick Doherty was fined 1 penny and
costs. He declined to pay the fine
and there is every reason to believe
that the case will come for final ad
