Family Prayer-a Catholic Custom.

as Protestants do, ana tho editor am

nothing Of the kind in any Catholic
books Of devotion which 1 have at
hand. There arc directions for pri-
| vatc dcvotions by individuals, but be-
You'd that the laity are directed to go
TO the church. Some wealthy families,
however. maintain q chaplain who is

establishments a private chapel with
an altar where mass can DO said"

families Of nominal Catholics, adds the
Sacred Heart Review, in which the
members never gather together for
family prayer, but, thank God. the GUS
toln-the Catholic custom-of family

families, even including the very care

A LAND OF OPPORTUNITY.
For the Homeseeker, the HeaIthseek'
er or the Investor.

To those who are seeking a new
country, where there are broad virgin
fields for profitable endeavor; where
one may "get in on the ground floor"
in limitless industries, and yet remain
in direct touch with the great world,
not isolated from the marts Of trade
nor the pleasures of congenial asocia-
ton; to those who are seeking homes
in a temperate climate, free from ex-
tremes of heat and cold; a land of
health and opportunity, the territory
along the line of the Mobile. Jackson
& Kansas City railroad is most invit-
ing. To one who traverses this line
of railroad the wonder grows that such
lands, near old-established centers,
should have remained SO long unde-
yeloped. A true story Of the opportuni-
ties for town-building, colonization,
founding of manufacturing enterprises,
and securing land for farming pur-
poses is told in a booklet entitled
"Along the Line of the Mobile, Jack
son & Kansas City Railroad" which

Cost of DISCOVERING America.

A Chicago antiquary has discover
ed that Columbus received a salary OF
1920. He estimates that the whole
cost of the expedition that found
America was about $1,000. John
Knox received a salary of 1920, and a
leading lawyer in the time of Edward
w. was content with a fee which
amounted to one dollar in u money.
A sumptuous Christmas dinner could
be bought then for IL cents. A dol
lar went a long way in those days,
but the salaries of professional men
and the wage of laborers seem alb
surdly meager when compared with
the best-paid ability and skill in these
modern days. The good old times,
says the Philadelphia Ledger, would
present no attractions to those who
imagine there was a time when labor
was much better rewarded than it is
to-day. Despite the monopolies and
the trusts, a moderate fortune AN
be acquired now more readily than it
could in former times. In 1920 a
man who had 100000 was accounted
rich, and such men were very scarce.

The Public and the Director.

More important than statutory re-
form for the future of life insurance
is the reform of reason and moral SEN
timent. We must come to consider
unpaid officers who give their time to
public affairs as persons making a
charitable contribution to the well
fare of the community. The corpo~
rate members and the directors OF an
insurance company, like the corpo-
rate members and directors of a saw
ings bank. must consider themselves,
and must be considered by others, to
be engaged in a work of public char
ity. A savings bank, indeed, is sup
posed to be a receptacle for the saw
ings of the poor, though the SUPPOSE
ton is not always true; while a life
insurance company is a receptacle for
the savings of some well-to-do or
even rich. Charitable or public serv-
ice, however, declares Francis G.
Lowell in Atlantic, may be rendered,
even where some beneficiaries are
able to pay for the services. Where
the we'll being of the community, or
of many of it's members, requires
great service rendered alike to rich
and poor, those fitted to render it
may be asked to give their labor with
out pay, if, for any reason, that Is
more convenient. This is the rule
with colleges and libraries, art nv
seums and hospitals.

Charleston, w. Va.-The mutilated
bodies of nine of the victims of Tues

the surface. Seven were identified
The bodies were brought up by Ed
ward Pickney, inspector of the mine,
and John /. Absolam, district mine
inspector, who were the first to go
down. Their trip was one of great
peril.
The men remained in the shaft for
three hours and found it a vertitable

possible to move above without step

les, but after sending up nine, were
so exhausted that the others were al
lowed to remain until the cage is put
in working order.
Sixteen more bodies were recovered
from the mine early this morning.

naming bodies. 1t Is now regarded
certain none in the mine at the time

A real mastodon which has been in
cold storage for many centuries will
be one of the exhibits at the Alaska
Yukon-Pacific exposition in Seattle in
1909. 1t is one of the gigantic animals
which formerly roamed the Yukon val
ley and northern Siberia. This one
was discovered on Cleary creek, above
Nome, by w. E. Thomas, and has been
so well preserved that when the ice
melted and exposed a part of its back
some time ago it was attacked by dogs
and partly eaten. The hole in its back
is the only break in the skin, however,
says Youths Companion, and the pelt
will be stuffed and mounted on the
prepared skeleton.
