then, the seasons are changing.
But, worst of ALL are our modern
Sodoms and Gomorrahs, with their pol
luted streams OF vice. Wives are forget
ting their sacred ties given at the altar
In sight OF the great God Of love and
mercy. Ministers of His sacred gospel are
forgetting and ignoring their holy calling
and descending into the cesspools OF de-
pravity Mankind seems to be descending
from the high pedestal that was prepared
for 1t by the Doer of All Good. Regard
less of the certainty of retributive Justice
men and women are going heedlessly into
the realms Of giddy vice and demoraliza-
ton, and virtue in many quarters is re-
garded as nought
This is a pessimistic view to take but
DO not the happenings of every passing day
bring to our attention the fact that Gods
great and just laws are being ignored and
violated. Are not there many object les
sons that we cannot but learn-many pic
lures or gloomy depravity that we cannot
turn to the wall?
My friends, facts are facts. and we must
face them as such. Study the lessons OF
today. then read the Sd, 9th and 7th verses

sun will rise tomorrow, and there is no es-
cape from it.
Before it is too late beg you to turn
about and do right. The signs Of the times
are portentous. The time may be near for
the drawing of the curtain OF life and the
blotting out of the earth. See to it that

Henry James on American Girls.


I remember the inquiry made of me by
charming American daughter who, In
great European city, had been visibly
puzzled by the lapse of local testimony to
this fact of her natural royalty.
She had arrived a few days before in the
eminent company of her father an artist of
the highest distinction and geniality and,
in presence of prompt invitations to lunch
con and to dinner, had been candfdly sur
prised at their not being addressed to her
self He had been invited with the hope
that he would bring his amiable daughter;
1t was not she who had been invited with
the hope she would bring her celebrated
sire. She was beautiful and intelligent and
modest and good-which made the case for
her candor, all the more eXemplifying: the
candor in New York or Boston would have
been so almost cruelty abused. She rose
to the occasion, l hasten to add, and con-
scented to lay off for the time her crown,
but her question meanwhile had not been
the less Illuminating. She could shine in
Europe" but with secondary light: it
was she who was her fathers appendage,
and not-as l gathered from her that the
American form would have represented
the matter-her father who was hers. She
could hope for no social existence without
him. while he strange to say, might hope
for any amount without her.

WARNING SPOKEN BY
ARCHBISHOP FARLEY

NEW YORK. June S-Archbishop Far
ley today made public a warning which he
has received from Monsignor LESSEE the
apostolic delegate to Persia, giving notice
that two impostors on their way from
Persia to the United States to collect funds
under the pretense that they will be given
to the Catholic missions in Persia Mon
signor LESSEE wrote that one of the men
has letters forged with the signature of
Monsignor Oludo, a Catholic Chaldean
bishop, and also bearing the forged sigma
ture of Monsignor LESSEE Monsignor LESSEE
asked that the one bearing the forged let
tiers be turned over to the police. He also
informed the archbishop that these two
lmpostors were trying to repeat scheme
which was practiced successfully a few
years ago by two Chaldeans who by pre-
senting photographs of Sisters of Charity
OF Persia, collected about 100000 francs In
the United States and Canada, and are now
living in princely style In Persia.
The monsignor wrote that no priest nor
layman is authorized to collect money for
the Catholic missions of Persia
Archbishop Farley's secretary issued this
statement:
THE archbishop of New York takes this
occasion to warn the Catholic people of
this city and diocese, and the public at
large, against giving easy credence to any
applicants for charitable contributions who
ot Sho" q Written dpproDdtlOn or their
work from the authorities of the diocese.
There are but too many reasons for
such caution. 1t is well known to us all
that this city is never without impostors
of this character, who prey upon the
benevalent public. These impostors do not
hesitate to assume any garb of priest or
nun: Let no one be deceived by the dress
or demeanor Of such despicable members
of society. Let all on whom solicitors call
demand the certificate Of their good stand
ing, and, since forgery is SO often resorted
to, as in the case of these Chaldean col
lectors, should any doubt exist. let appica-
ton be made to the authorities of the do
ceSe for better information"

The Social Secretary.

From the Reader.
Long ago 1t was found desirable to place
the work of factory Improvement in the
hands of a salared official called the social
secretary. This person, man where men
are employed, a woman where girls are in
question, serves as a point OF contact be-
tween the firm and the workers. supervising
what may be called the domestic depart
ment of factory life to that abuses
which arise because of careleSsness or
other causes are corrected: that the man or
woman has every chance for doing work in
such way as to deserve advancement and
to see that it comes; to protect the firm
from the wastefulness of keeping the
pay roll those who fail to give a days
work for days pay, in some cases adj
justng salaries according to capacity. Not
IN the least in the nature of "A SPY, the
social secretary is concerned purely with
the business of insuring fair play for both
sides, more particularly from the employees
viewpoint.
Firms which employ such person find
the social secretary worth every cent Of
the good salary commanded.

W. II. I1o"eiis, IN hafper9.
What gentleman issuing from his library
where he has them in handsome bindings
Will boast at the head of his dinner
table that he reads them through, and
makes a point of it, once every year?
They are partially read, Of course in the
schools and colleges, but they are not read
there so willingly and gladly as they could
ask to be read If they had their say There
are people who, if sworn to tell the whole
truth and nothing but it, must own that
there are one or two darklng plays of
Shakespeare himself prince among the
moderns, which they have not read and
only the other day Prof. Brander Matthews
was intimating that most of the Elizab ethan
dramatists We're, for the most part, not
worth reading. But do many persons now
go about with pocket editions of-the Had
or the Aeneid. and lie down under summer
trees, enjoying them
From morn till noon, from noon till dewy eve?"
We are not saying they do not or might
not do it with the Odyssey, or the Battle
Of the Frogs and Mice" or Virgilan
Eclogue or so, of immediate agricultural
interest; but 1t is here a question of the
more epical epics. in which the fame of the
poets is supposed to be mainly lodged. The
doubt intimated attaches itself even to the
"Divine Comedy" earliest of the great
achievements of the mOderns. Have many
gentlemen with libraries or others, read it
from cover to cover more than dozen
times. Or, If they have it about them
are they presently reading 1t In course, or
are they staying here and there upon a
favorite passage with which they associate
the rest of that work? To name the epic
that follows in the deathless order next
after the Divine Comedy" Is paradise

tiful bits. to any multitude of impassioned
lovers? If a faithful census were made of

Vienna's Look Ahead.

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
Statisticians declare that in 1850 Vienna
will have a population of 100000. The
city council, looking far ahead, is al
ready considering howsbest to preserve
for the coming generations goodly sup
ply of open-air spaces. 1t is proposed to
surround the city with Il broad girdIe of
forest lands and meadows, a somewhat
ambitious project. which it is estimated
would cost 10000 900 kronen, or more
than f2.UO0.OOO
The Austrian Cpital is already unusu-
ally well furnished with public parks and
gardens in the midst of the city, to say
nothing of the magnificent expanse of the
Prater, with its miles of avenues and
walks stretching down to the main
stream Of the Danube.
