That there is really an epidemic of
crimes in the sacred name of love
might well appear from the recent
startling record of fatal tragedies.

Why has Cupid traded his well-be-
loved and gentle weapons, the bow and
arrow, for the more formidable revol-

In the days when Love was young,
and the simple life an actually, not a
theory, Cupid tipped his arrow with
golden love-songs and aimed it with
laugh To-day, in New York, with
its strange comming1ing of foreign
tering pleasures and it's appalling
loneliness, Cupid ofttimes loads his
newly acquired weapon with death
dealing bullets and sends them flying
to the accompaniment of groan or a
curse. Within the past - months

Just a year ago, in an obscure down
town hotel, Louis G. Hampton, a man
of family, social and business stand
ing, shot and killed first the woman
he loved and then himself. The wo-
man in the case was Victoria Tacz-
kow, a beautiful salesgirl in a depart
ment store. She was 30 years the
junior of her wealthy and influential
-admirer, who was an official of the
United States Trust company, of Wall
street. She did not know he was mar
ried. She was waiting for the death
of his aged mother to relieve him of
certain domestic responsibilities and
set him free to marry the girl he
loved. Her name was above reproach
Her family knew of her love affair apd
approved of the supposedly prospect

What happened between these two
behind the barred door of the obscure
hotel no one known. Perhaps the girl
had learned the hideous truth, and

The Vatican.

The word Vatican is often used,
port. The term refers to a collection
of buildings on ono of the seven hills of
Rome, which covers a space of 1000
feet in length and 1000 in breadth II
is built on a space once occupied by the
garden of the cruel Nero. 1t owes its
origin to the Bishop of Rome, who. in
the early part of the sixth century,
erected a humble residence on it's site.
About the year 11GO Pope Eugenus re-
built it on a. magnificent scale. lnno-
cent II. few years afterward, gave it
up as a lodging to Peter H.. King Of
Aragon In 1905 clement V. at the in
stigation of the King of France, re-
moved the Papal See from Rome to
Avignon. when the Vatican remained in
a condition of ohscurity and neglect
for more than seventy years
But soon after the return of the
Pontifical court to Rome, an event
which had been 50 earnestly prayed for
by poor Petrach. and which finally took
place in 1876, the Vatican was put in
a state Of repair. and again enlarged,
and it was thencnforward considered
as the regular palace and residence Of
the Popes, who, me after another,
added fresh buildings to it, and gradu-
ally circled it with antiquities, statues.
pictures and books until it became
the richest depository in the world.
The library of the Vatican was COM
'menced 1,4OO years ago. 1t contains
10000 manuscripts. among which are
some by Pliny, ST Thomas, st. Charles
Borromeo and many Hebrew, Syrian,
Arabian and Armenian bibles.
The whole of the immense buildings
composing the Vatican are filled with
statues found beneath the ruins Of an
cient Rome. with paintings by the mas
ters and with curious medals and an
tiquities of almost every description

Some Baseball KNOWLEDGE.

The following suggestions for the
members of the baseball squad of the
University. of Chicago We're recently
posted on the college bulletin board
by Coach Dickinson of that institu-
ton:
Show signs of life all the time.
Chop the ball down so that it will
not go into the air.
Get into your position quickly when
your side is out.
Hit at the good balls. Pick them
out and rap them hard.
Step into the ball and meet it with
all the weight on the front foot In
this way you get the full weight of
your body into the strike.
Don't step away from the ball.
Don't strike at every ball that is
thrown.
Don't lose you nerve when you get
two strikes.
Don't cape around the field. but
watch the pitcher all the time.
Don't bend the back foot Or shift
the position as the ball approaches.
Don't lunge into the ball as if swing
ing for home run: simply tap it.

How to Live to Be a Hundred.

Do you want to live long? 1t is all

pie Sir Herman Weber. a celebrated
doctor. has laid down all the neces-
sary rules in a little book just writ

Sir Herman thinks that long life

followed, insure living TO a ripe old
age, but guarantees good health as
we'll.
Here are his rules for longevity.

A Medical Confession.

Our Episcopalian brethren have long
had "confessionals" in their ritualistic
churches, where "penitents" are so
eager to lay bare the secrets of their
consciences that they are accommo-
dated with gas lights, SO that they
may see to read off their lists of sins
and not miss any. says the New

What Has Become Of Him?

What has become of the ex-priest
Thomas McGrady, who several years
ago left the priesthood and became a
Socialist agitator? We had been asked
this question more than once, but We're
unable to answer it, since for a long
while we had lost track of McGrady,
whom, as our readers will remember,
we combatted for his Socialistic er-
rors when he was still priest lin

in the Catholic Fortnightly Review

letter printed in the same paper, is

churches against the barbaric splen-
dor of commercial cannibalism" and

the Christian Socialist. compares
Thomas McGrady to Thomas Mum
zer (sic!), the proletarian priest and
martyr of the German Reformation. y
"a comparison which, we fear, Com
rade' McGrady will not relish, be-
cause he probably is versed in the
history of the Anabapist movement
sufficiently to know what sort of a
fellow Thomas Munzer was, and how
miserably he ended. (See j. Jansen
"Geschichte des deutschen Volkes seit
dem Ausgange des Mittelalters" Ii
and IS edition. edited by L. Pastor
Vol ", PIP. 394--4o1. 70 ff.. 567-571.)
1t is to be hoped. however. that the
parallel with Munzer will fit McC;rady
when his end comes; for Munzer, be.
fore his head was cut off by the exc
cutioner. retracted all his pernicious
errors, acknowledged the authority of
the church he had so cruelty maligned,
and devoutly received the holy sacra- :
ments of confession and communion
(Janssen, |. c.. 570--571) From the
same number of the Christian So
cialist we gather that ex-Priest Hag-
erty is likewise still active in the
propaganda for Socialism,.

Pulse Tolls AGE and Sex.

How old are you? Ask your pulse.
The human pulse has wide range
even in perfectly healthy persons. The
female pulse always beats faster than
the male, and from birth to death
the pulse beats steadily decrease. 1t
has been said by great authorities
that the age and sex Of. a person
could be ascertained by the rate of
the pulse alone. Rabies at birth have
a pulse beat Of 1e0 times a minute in
case of girl and $50 in the case
Of boys ct the age Of four or five
the pulse beats will have fallen re-
spectively to 10 and 100. Maidens'
and youths pulses average IS and 30.
