Mrs. Thomas E. RYAN.

Mrs. Thomas F. Ryan, wife of the
Virginia, has been spending the win
ter quietly in Washington. her object
being to be near her son, who is a.
student in Georgetown university.
When she married Mr.. Ryan he was
rising young business man. Many
have thought that the "F'." the second
of his initials. stands for the word
fortune" and that it was given him
as nickname by the press. by reason
cial world. Such, however. is not the
case. Fortune" is a family name that
is frequently heard in Virginia. and
was the name Of his mother.
Mrs Ryan has had some great sor-
rows in her life. Five of the nine chill
dren born to her died, four Of them
in Baltimore. for which reason Mrs.
Ryan never visits that city. The
other, her oldest son William. who had
hoped the mild climate might check
his tendency to consumption, died
there very suddenly. A telegram an
nounced his serious condition and a
special train was made up to take her
to his bedside, but before she could
start, a, second telegram informed her
| Of his death. This heavy blow was
however, softened by the news from
Rome which was peculiarly consoling
to her. A cablegram from the Papal
Secretary of State informed her that
the Holy Father had granted her spe-
cial permission. to keep the holy eu-
charist in the private chapel Of her res
idence, boon that had been the de-
sire of her heart for years. Since ther
mass has been Said at her house every
day at $50 a. m.

FOR REFLECTION.
General Intention for July is for Souls
in Mortal Sin.

in Mortal Sin.
1t is a most appealing intention that
recommended to league members for
the month of July--"souls in mortal
the Messenger Of the Sacred Heart,
have thrown aside the garment of
Gods favor, flung away the privilege
of sonship and brotherhood and bar
tered their right to the heavenly king
dom for mess of porridge
How sad, then, their lot. For NOR
tai sins blinds their minds and chills
their hearth. To the spiritual world
they are almost binder than the poor
sightless beggar who asks our aims
at the street corner is to- the beauties
OF the natural world about him. Their
hearts, too. are cold and insensible.
After time they experience no de-
sire to return to the life of grace.
The gift of faith remains. but how
will that tender pla mt flourish in the
bleak. chilly atmosphere of sin; soon,
too. it will be bitten by the cold, be
blighted and dead. ..
Let us reflect for moment upon
the desire of the Sacred Heart for
sim stricken souls. Poor, dear prodi-
gals who have wandered SO far away
from their Fathers home! Poor, self
Willed outcasts who have gone so far
into distant country, Where famine
gaunt and relentless. stalks like the
shadow Of death over the land!
| How the heart of Jesus loved those
souls! No mother with love-lt eyes
ever brooded over the cradle of her
first born as Jesus broods over these
wandering and lost children.
How that heart yearned for the souls
of the sinners-for the souls of those
stained and tarnished by sin. Will
the members Of the apostleship not
slake that thirst and quench its burn
ing torture? Surely the dying cry of
the Master will touch the hearts OF
the consecrated apostles of the Sacred
Heart
We are therefore to pray this month
for souls in mortal sin. First. be-
cause of the inestimable gifts which
they lost. the dangers which they
blndly run. And secondly, because
the Sacred Hearts keenest desire and
warnest wish is that the prodigal
should come back from the distant,
dreary. famine stricken country, to the
home Of the Father, where there await
him abundance and love.

WHEN WAGES WERE LOW.
And . Turkey Dinner For Six Cost
 Only IF Cents.


 Columbus" said an antiQuary of Chicago. "got salary of $320 a year less than dollar a day. His captains got $1S0 a year apiece. His crew got $2.25 a month. To equip the expedi- ton that discovered America cost $2,- 500. The total cost of discovering America was $7,200.
 Lawyers nowadays, especially cor poration lawyers, think nothing of earning million a year. In the reign of Edward ". Q baronet entered in his diurnal, or diary:
 "'Paid to Roger Fylpott, learned in the law. for his counsel, 3 shillings, with fourpence for his dinner.'
 Ministers often make today $20,000 or $3O,OO0 year. yet John Knox only got $22O year, or $4 week. and that was a dollar more a week than Scottish judges got.
 Small salaries, those," concluded the antiquary, ''but we must remember that in that epoch there were no trusts to inf1ate prices, and dollar went long way. In fact, a Christmas dinner for family of six would have cost in John Knox's time: For the turkey. 10 cents; cranberry sauce, 2 cents; pota- toes, cent; turnips, 1 cent; celery, 1 cent; plum pudding, cents; total, 17 cents, or less than 8 cents a head"

Eriendship With Wild Life.

If fairy had ever offered to grant me three wishes "the full confidence of wild animals" would surely have been one of them and probably the first If we seek opportunities to be- friend wild creatures and take advan- tage of them, we shall often find, as have done, that there is no lack of re- sponse on the part of the animals. once walked up to pine siskin, as he was feeding on the ground and picked him up in. my hand.

THE SACRED LOTUS.
Sentiment of the orient About the
 Fruit of Destiny.


 Fruit Of Destiny.
 Concerning the rich fruit of the lotus. which grew luxuriantly in the Nile. many charming legends have been told It was believed that it was SD delight full that those who ate of it would nev- CT leave the spot where it grew but for it would abandon home and friends to spend their lives in a dream of se- rene delight Homer. in the Odyssey, mentions the lotus eaters who lived on the northern coast of Africa and records their attempts to dctain the followers of Ulysses by giving them the fruits of the lotus tO eat. SO that they should never wish to leave the spot where it grew.
 The sat1e poetical idea is known to the Arabs. who call it the fruit of destiny" which is t0 be eaten in Para disc, and 1t is on this foundation that TennysOn built his charming poem of the Lotus Eaters" This mythical lotus has been identified by several botanists with that indigenous to Tu- his, which is a thorny shrub, with ber- rles the size of an olive.
 Mungo Park found a species of lotus in Central Africa bearing berries of a delicious taste, which on being dried and pounded made wholesome and pleasant bread. The lotus fruit found in Tunls has a stimulating, almost in- toXicating, effect, and it is therefore probable that this plant furnished the foundation of the ancient legends.

Stanley the Explorer.

Although the fever of African eX. plOratiOn did not seize upon Henry NJ. Stanley until after he found Living stone. when the example set by the latter fired the Weshman's ambitions, there can be little doubt that Stanley was a born explorer. Otherwise he would scarcely have been able to ac- cOmplish those arduOus journeys which enabled him to fill up an enormous blank in the map of Africa. Stanley s discoveries were of the greatest pO- litical importance and led to the found ing. among other things, of what is now the KOngO Free State. His ulti, mate discovery of Emin Pasha furnish ed a magnificent illustration of Stan ley's indOmitable courage and perse- Verance.-London Mail.

There will be quite an exhibit of Imperial valley products at the Dunk ards meeting in Los Angeles. MT Gillett, of HoltviIle, took In some fine samples of farm products, while E E Forester, of Fl Centro, sent samples of all the things now growing on his remarkable farm west of Fl Cenro, L. M. VanHorn went in Thursday and took with him samples of alfalfa fully seven feet high and bunch of Philip plno wheat that measured six feet in length and was headed out in excellent condition. This display from the lm- perial valley will do much to advertise the resources of this section of the State of California and no doubt will go long ways toward inducing very desirable class of farmers to locate here.
