The Fast Set.

Every large city has its fast set of
men and women. The New York fast
set may be little more brilliant than
any other in this country, but in every
other respect than money and equipage
the fast set is the same in every great
city.
The fast set consists of a number of
men and women who turn night into
day and who love darkness rather than
light because their deeds are evil. They
are the people who cat midnight
lunches with wine accompaniments.
who hang around the stage doors OF
theatres, who rise at II O'Clock in the
morning, with whom pleasure is bust
ness and who throw away money in
the hope of attaining it.
1t is impossible to speak of the NOR
ais of the fast set, because il has none.
1t is licentious. beastly, imbecile, dis
honest, mendacious, Jealous quarrel
some, revengeful. semi-insane and
hOmicidal. 1t gets drunk and flourishes
pistols and daggers. 1t breaks every
law on the statute books and violates
every known code of morals. There is
only one word which taken alone is de-
scriptive of it and that is the word
rotten
As a general thing the lid of the fast
set is fastened tight and the effluvia
does not escape. Men who are we'll con-
neCted in society are stepped in this
devils stew without being suspected.
This lasts for some time and then sud
denly some crime is committed in the
set which rips off the lid and the
whole community is nearly asphyXiated
with the nauseous stencil.
The remarkable thing about it all is
that as soon as a great scandal breaks
out in the fast set it becomes necessary
that its members shall go into court
and be tried for their lives or take the
witness stand and expose its doings,
they appeal at once to all the lofty
standards which they have, as a set,
spurred and derided.
In the day of trouble there is nothing
they think of so much as modeSty.
People who have lived the lives of pigs
for years wish it TO be understood that
their modesty is crucified when they
are called upon to describe their orgies.
Truth and honor also are then extolled
to the skies. Gratitude fidelity and
love are claimed for a lot of human
beasts who have for years lived for
nothing but the qualification of their
lowest passions. Then they appeal to
justice and to the majesty of the law
and the dignity of the courts after eX-
hausting all their efforts to overthrow
law and justice and abolish human So
ciety.
1t is thousand pities that society
should be compelled for its own protec-
ton to investigate end compose the
quarrels and crimes of the fast set.
But for the necessity there is of sup
pressing crime it would be far better to
build a barbed wire fence around the
fast set, provide it with all sorts of
modern weapons and cordially invite
its members to exterminate each other.

A Good Life.

If you would lead a good life and be
at peace with God and your conscience
ii is well TO observe these rules:
l. AS much as possible avoid all
dangerous occasion of sin, such as
drinking. bad company. sinful amuse-
ments. bad or dangerous readings.
.. If possible, go every month to the
Sacraments. Remember that without
the strength of the Sacraments you can
not resist your temptations and inclina-
tons to sir, for we all nave the in
clination.
3. Never remain away from Mass on
Sundays or holy days of obligation,
when you are able to attend.
4. Never neglect your daily prayers
Prayer is the key to heaven.
5. Every day read chapter of some
good religious book. such as the Sin
ner's Guide" the Following of Christ. ."
or Memorial of a Christian Life" or
one of "Challoner's Meditations."
6. Every day offer to the Blessed
Mother at least a third part of her holy
rosary, or five mysteries of the beads,
any may our dear Lord and His
Blessed Mother watch over you during

The OTHER DAY.

The other day Cor so it seems)
We stroIled together down this lane'
And we we're happy. with our dreams
Chimed in the mating birds refrain.
You humlned some foolish, sweet love-
lay
Somehow it seAms-the other day!
The sun still shines down through the
trees.
The birds still MARBLE happily:
The same sweet doors on the breeze
But somehow they are naught for me;
Naught for me since you're away.
Though you were here the other day!
The old path winds toward the spring,
Wherein the old gourd hangs l know,
tbs strange-no change in anything
'Tis just the same as long ago;
Except my hair is flecked with gray
Where it was black-the other day.
Once more l stand and watch the
leaves
Drifting slowly. slowly down.
And cen the south wind sadly Srieves
To miss those tangled curls of brown
Oh, Youth-Oh, Love, that would moi
stay,
Oh. come back from-the other day,

Nothing Provincial About I

A writer in the London Tablet urges
that the French correspondent who
has been complaining in London pa
per of the interference of Catholics in
England with the affairs of France
should remember the saying of a very
great F'renchman. 1t was Fenelon who
urged countries to be concerned about
each other-not to let sympathies be
bounded by mere mountain ranges or
rivers. Hc used to say that he loved
his family better than himself, his
country better than his family, and
mankind better than his country: I
am more a Frenchman than Fenelon.
and more man than a Frenchman.'
That is elemental Catholicism, which
must in the last resource be at enmity
with provincialism all the world over;
and it was behind the great Archbishop
of Cambray's famous utterance in re-
proof of fit of national jingoism, I
would rather see the king lose half his
dominions than occasion one unneces-
sary battle

Good to Think over These DAYS.

When the soldiers of General Wash
ington's army near Boston in 1775 pre-
pared to celebrate Pope Day" Nov. ),
to commemorate the alleged Gunpow-
der Plot, the general issued this order,
dated that day: GAS the commander
in-chief has been apprised of a design
formed for the observance of that RI
diculous and childish custom of burn
ing the effigy of the Pope, he cannot
help expressing his surprise that there
should be officers and soldiers in his
army so void of common sense as not
to see the improperly of such a step.
AT such juncturc and in such circum-
stances to be insulting their religion is
SO monstrous as not to be suffered or
excused: indeed, instead of offering the
most remote insult, it is our duty to
address public thanks to these. our
brethren. as to them we are indebted
for every late happy success over the
common enemy in Canada.

Dr. Yorke, editor of the San Francis

''all kinds of devices have been eXcogi-
tated to protect the interests of the
Church-in some places Church proper

er places by trustees, by corporations
or by corporations sole, but in every
place the complaint of the Second

We are obliged to place Church prop
erty in conditions of extreme hazard,
because not permitted to manage our
Church temporalities on Catholic prin-
ciples' If the Church in America is
better off than the Church in France it
is due not to the law, but to the temper
of the Catholic people. In the first
place. Catholics won't brook any inter-
ference by politicians in Church af-
fairs. The Know NOthings tried it be-
fore the war the oarpet-baggers tried
it in Missouri after the war the A. 2.

case the Catholics were strong enough
to beat them in the long run. AS long
as the Catholics have fighting temper

as you review the French situation
that it is a strange thing that the right
of confiscation has not been tested in
a court? Have you not thought how
quickly that man would be dragged
into an American court who dared to
touch even the travelling bag of a
priest? But under the French system
nc such thing is possible. The Min
lister of Interior issues orders to con-
fiscate the dwellings of the Archbishop
of Paris, and they must be observed.
There is no law, no court, no tribunal
to which he can appeal. He must sub
nit to the traditional decree, and there
is no redress -

Mary's Mishap,

young lady organist in a certain
city was anxious to make a good i'm
preston on a visiting clergyman one
Sunday. Her organ was pumped by a
self-willed old sexton, who had his own
ideas as to how long an organ volun-
tary should last. and so would shut
off the wind when he thought fit.
On this particular Sunday the organ
list thought she would forestall any such
accident by writing an appeal in the
early part of the service and giving it
to the sexton. The old man received
the note and supposed it was for the
minister. In spite of her frantic beck
onings he went straight to the pulpit
with the note. and the astonished
preacher read this message:
"Oblige me this morning by blowing
away till l give you the signal to stop,

such an attack is the beginning Of a

and moral empire of mankind. 1t af-
