his deEdnciation Father Conway was
loudly applauded.
Condemns Clubs
"Turn your backs on social clubs and
their devotees," Father Conway ex-
claimed. "The womtLs club is a
roundup, a good enough place to eX-
hlbit clothes, but IT, homes of club
women are continually falling to pieces.
II want to give some objective rea-
sons for the existence Of sororities
such as the alumnae association of this
academy. The mere feature Of re-
union and allegiance to alma mater
will not do, although there is much in
fellowship to cause associations to en-
dire.
ITO associate for financial motives
only, while laudable, would in the end
prove a handicap on the presence of
desirable members. The activity of a
sorority ought to build first upon the
principles which the members repre-
sent and upon which their education
has been constructed-the principles of
Catholic : ctrine and morality; union
in all things with the jurisdiction and
sentiment of the church.
Divorces Are UnhoIy
"Over and above this basis of ex-

part of all associations of Christian
women t show a determined and or
ganized purpose to put down by the
strength of their united censure the
unholy practice of divorce, which is
sapping the founoG Ions, not merely of
religion and the family, but likewise of
society and the state.
Nobody within the pale of Christian
ity has a greater power or wider or
more vital interest in the ostracism
from the family and of society of the
bold and growing votaries of divorce.
divorce is the unholy and dangerous
evil of American life. Set your face and
your hand against it. Ignore, ostra-
else and avoid everyone who even de-
fends the practice.

Fine

A southern lawyer tells of Judge In
Arkansas who had several "tiffs" with
lawyer retained by woman whoehad
instituted a breach of promise suit in
the court presided over by the judge in
After each exchange ct repartee be-
tween his honor and the imprudent
counsel the judge would say:
CLERK, just enter another fine OF $40
against Mr.. Mitchell for contempt OF
court"
When this sort of thing had proceed
ed further than counsel wished, he adj
dressed his honor in this wise;
''If your honor please, | am a good
citizen, and as such, intend to obey the
orders of the honorable court in this, -
In all other instances. Now. your honor,
it SO happens that have not about ms
the sum of $50, for which | have been
mulcted for contempt. Therefore

from some friend; and see no one pres
ent whose friendship have enjoyed so
much as your honor's. So make no
hesitation in approaching your honor
for loan to square the fines assessed
With Just the faintest smile about his
lips. his honor looked first at counsel
and then at the clerk.

Mitchelps fines. The state is better able
than to lose $30."-FIarper's Weekly.

of public vulgarity and commonness
which are lowering the dignity and no
bility of women. We see it in the pub
! lie journals and in the prominence
given the most sacred features of indi-
vidual and domestic privacy.
Culture, Not Notoriety
1--WE must distinguish culture from
notoriety. Strive to be accomplished,
refined, delicate. Christian, rather than
merely fashionable or polished. The
educated woman, with pure heart and
mind, does not require fine raiment. The
merely fashionable woman may get
along with a little Delsarte and a gaudy
gown; the merely educated woman is
too often a twisted crank
"I must say here that our women's
social clubs are largely to blame for the
national vulgarity and boldness. There
are laudable features in club life, l ad-
nit, but when this life degenerates into
a mere sensual conviviality, to say the
least about it, there can be but one re-
suit on men and women. 1t will invade
the activities of the home and the do
mestic virtues and will dull the finer
senses of the man or woman of culture,
not to speak OF the irregularities, the
expenses the temptations which lead
to every feature of moral weakness and
in many cases to positive depravity."
Father Conway praised the friend
ships of girls school days, and said
that they should be continued through
life.
At the luncht on in the refectory, fol-
lowing the address, the graduates of

HOLY LAND BELIEFS
IMPLICIT FAITH IN POINTS ABOUT
HORSES.
Lucky and UnIucky Signs Are Many
White Stockings Highly Valued
Peculiar Marks That Show
Speed Of Animal.

The people OF the Holy Land have
implicit faith In the following points
about horses:
A white star In the center of the
forehead of horse is considered
lucky sign.
Small ears and small mouth in
horse denote good breed.
Two small black spots located just
above the hoof on the white-stock
inged left hind leg of horse is an
unlucky sign.
In certain parts of the country
horse is valued by the number OF
white stockings he may have. If II
have one 1t is said to be worth 100
coins iany coins from paras upward
according to the breed, PAGES, etc. OF
the animal) II 1t have two or three
white stockings IL is valued in the
same way, but II it have four then
the horse is said to be worth nothing
at ALL
A horse that is habitually paving
the ground Is said to be digging its
owners grave.
A horses speed can be reckoned by
the position Of the small hair twist
that Is usually found at the end of the
ribs close to the body projection on
the animals flank behind the saddle.
The higher from the ground the hair
twists the faster the animal can go.
Two hair twists placed one above
the other in the center of the fore
head OF horse is called a Kabr
Maftuh ("open .grave'). 1t is con
sidered very unlucky to ride horse
with this mark, as the person who
does so is destined to die within a
short space of time thereafter
The hair twist on horses neck is
both lucky and an unlucky sign. If
it curl forward toward the horses
head, II is lucky sign, for ii signifies
that the sword OF the rider conquers
II, on the other hand. it be reversed
and curl backward, then the sword OF
the enemy will conquer.
The bay colored horse is said to be
the swiftest of all the horses A
story to illustrate this is told of
certain Arab sheik who. having been
engaged in fight with another tribe,
was taking his flight with his little
sen.
They were both mounted on a mag
nificent white mare, wE.ch belonged TO
the sheik, and which had always been
highly valued on account of the great
speed at which IL could go. After
having ridden some little distance, the
sheik asked his son to look round
and see if they were being followed
The boy replied that there was some
one riding after them on a black
horse. The sheik seemed satisfied on
hearing this report. but presently re-
| peated his question. The boy an
swered that they were still being pur-
sued, but this time the horse was
white. Never mind" said his father,
mine is better"
| In few minutes he asked a further
report, and the reply given was the
same, with the difference that the
horse was chestnut. The sheik. how.
ever, put his question a fourth time:
but upon being told by his son that
the pursuer was mounted on a bay,
he cried out: Then we are lost. for
there Is no horse which il cannot over.

SCIENCE CROPPING IN DARK.
In Vain Search for the ImmateriaI,
Says Writer.

Science stands to-day upon the
brink OF the abyss Of ininity, trying
with net to catch the immaterial.
II has explored the earth; its tele-
scopes have swept the stupendous
vaults of the heavens; its microscopes
have searched out the innermost re-
cesses Of the minute, and in both di-
rections IL has been halted by the
same thing-in6nity
Science. after a century and half
of scoaing at the immateral, is now
trying eagerly to grasp It, Baiiied by
phenomena that it has striyen yainly
TO explain on material hypothesis 1t is
forced at last TO the unwelcome
conclusion that there is something
more than understanding which
all its telescopes and all its micro
scopes are powerless to discover
Science has not yet seen the imma.
teral. but it has at last-and LOW re
uctantly-confessed It's eXistcnce.
Now the advance skirmishers OF
science. cropping blindly In the dark
ness of the unknown, are setting traps
for the immaterial, hoping with beat
ing hearts TO solve the riddle Of life
and death. to prove the immaterial, To
demonstrate its properties and to codi.
fly its laws.
Those who have maintained the
simple faith--the answering faith in
the infallibility OF their own ignorance
may now from the heaven-piercinG
peak Of their simplicity look down up
on the vain struggles of the scientists,
their fantastic efforts 10 weigh the
soul. their charlatanic assertions that
they can picture 1t, their plastic cred
ulity TO the shams OF takers who pre-
tend to re-embody the spirits OF the
dead. and all the other grotesque con
tartions Of the wise men who believe
nothing they cannot understand
All this is but striving to attain TO
something which the believer has pos
sessed always; it may succeed-who
can tell2 But. when the immaterial
shall have been caught in the butter
fly nets of science, when the limitless
fields of infinity shall have been tri-
angulated then all men will recog
nize these newest discoveries of sci
ence as an old. old thing which the
world in its childlilSe simplicity has

From the earliest times the horse

and to-day his education is del
icate and serious matter, under.
taken at great expense by all the
nations of the world Germany
needs a million horses for cav
airy and artillery to put her Co

needed as many as 2300O0-in her
serious predicament in South Africa

Although England in peace time
mounts only twothirds Of her cavalry,
her horse bill amounts to about S400,-

multiplied by four OF FIVE for the Ger
