to family calls.
At that time she was a sort of fairy
queen, ruling over hosts of subordi-

The Sunday Mass.

The editor of the English MessengS
er does not hesitate to trace the De-
ginning of the ruin of many souls to
the habit of neglecting Sunday Mass,
says the st. Joseph's Messenger. A
persistent neglect of Sunday Mass,
says Father Bearne, is a certain cause
of apostasy. When Catholic Sunday
becomes a mere blank holiday we have
ing are the too true stories that many
a parish priest can tell Of the direct
consequences of a neglect of Sunday
Mass. In the case Of many a promis-
ing young man or woman the break
ing of the Sunday precept has led to
almost irretrievable ruin. With Bit
ter tears many a mother will tell you
that all was we'll with her son until
he turned his back upon the altar Of
God. Jail chaplains hear the like al
most every time they interview
Catholic prisoner. It is the same de-
pun oOiC oIO1S k4IthI CSClS PLCAS1SA W
missions hears over and over again.
Sunday Mass is for sometime the
last tie that binds them to the body
of the church. When that tie is brok-
en- their condition is indeed pitiful:
while that bond remains whole there
is always abundant ground for hope.
To cut himself off from such a means
mistakes that any sinner can possibly
make. Regarded only as an external
profession Of faith the hearing of Mass
is a matter of the greatest Importance
but even to the careless it is always
so much more than a profession of
faith.

closes where the crock lies hidden.
Eventually, when he has in vain tried
every means Of diverting your atten-

a night before they extricated from
him the coveted information, but IT
was worth it ali, for such men never
afterwards knew poverty.
Some of. the fortunate ones take
their neighbors into the secret of their
good fortune on such occasions and
share their joy with all; other mar

secret to themselves. But generally it

denly found to have acquired a for

Onion. a. Weather Prophets.

One Of the rites performed by the
French peasants on New Years eve
is the forecasting Of the weather for
the coming year by means Of onions.
When the bells ring for midnight
mass they scoop out the rniddles OF
twelve onions, set them in row on
the kitchen table, fill them with salt
and name them for the months Of the
year. Then when they return from
mass they examine the condition Of
the salt. If it has melted in any Of
the months those months will be
rainy; if the salt remains dry, it indi-
Gates drought; if half melted, the first
fortnight Of the month will be wet.
The peasants have such implicit faith
in this means OF foretelling the wealth
er that they plant their crops in ac-
cordance with the prophecy of the on
ions.

words are full Of good counsel now as
when she penned them:
IF you would have a happy life,
take three ounces of patience and three
Of repose, and mix together with ~
pound of peace of conscience. Add as
muci, as the hand can hold of innocent
pastimes, and Of hope and pleasant
memories three good drachms; moist
en- these with the pleasure distilled
from a. cheerful heart. Add of loves
magic a few drops: but be sparing OF
these. for sometimes love brings q
flame which nAught but tears can
drown. Grind all these things togeth-

men to enliven; yet all this may NOT
bring happiness unless in your or

holds the gift of health,'

Seumus McManus draws this picture
of the Leiprechaun, whom everyone
acquainted with Irish folk lore knows:

tunate is the man who. coming on the
Leiprechaun unawares, gets grip of
him by the scruff of his neck, and,
maintaining firm hold, keeps his eye
unwayeringly fixed upon the tricky lit
tie fellow. This lad always knows
where 4 crock OF gold is hidden, and
is prepared to purchase his freedom by
disclosing the hiding place. but before
giving away his secret he will have
resort to every imaginable device to
get himself free unransomed. While
you keep your eyes fixed on him, he
cannot escape, tut If for q fraction
Of e second you lift your eyes on the
lad, he will have vanished through
your fingers. Consequently, when he

the priceless boon of a religious edu-
cation. The memorial will most ap-
propriately take the form of a large

School for Limerick, with a statue OF
Gerald Griffin in q niche facing the
Cathedral. The estimated cost of the
new schools is 1000 pounds and the
Christian Brothers have undertaken to
find two-thirds of the sum if the pub

The people Of Germany are now In
vited to declare at a general election
whether or not the Reichstag, recently
dissolved, was justified in refusing to
vote for additional military supplies
to be used in German Southwestern
Africa. The dissolution Of the Reich
stag was due largely TO the Catholic
party, the Centrists, who at the last
parliament comprised the largest party
in parliament. They united with the
Socialists and Poles in opposition to
the imperial policy, which was sup
ported by the Conservatives and the
Liberals. In recent years, the Ger
man emperor has leaned heavily for
support upon the Catholic party. The
whirligig Of politics has forced the
Catholics and the Socialists to unite
temporarily. 1t will be interesting to
watch what the attitude Of the German
people in reference to increased arma-
ments will be. II the representation in
Tie HelchStaE were falfly distributed,
the Centrists and Socialists would be
sure to gain the victory, but as mat
ter Of fact, the seats are very unfairly
distributed. Originally every electoral
district was to contain 100000 inhab-
itants, but there has been no redistri-
button according to population for
thirty years. The result is that the
large cities have small representations.
Berlin has only six members, whereas
it ought to have four times as many.
The elections will be held during the
present month. Whatever the result,
the Centrists are sure to have a larger
representation than any other single
party.

The Oldest Sister Of Mercy.

OF the Sisters Of Mercy who were in
touch with the sainted foundress of tre
order, Mother Mary Catherine Nc
Cauley, who made her profession il,
1881, only one is living-Sister Mary
Agnes McCanry, the oldest Sister of
Mercy in the world. She remembers
Mother McCauley as visiting her con-
vent school in Carlow, Ireland, and has
still a vivid recollection Of her face
and manners. This venerable reliy-
ieuse is spending her declining years at
st. Xaviers Academy, Beatty, Pa,
where she does duty in. spite Of her
advancing age as mistress of the morn
ing practice hour.
It was in 1s4s the first Sisters Of
Mercy, seven in number, came to
America and settled in Pittsburg.
The first American lady who joined
the order is worthy Of special notice.
She was Miss Eliza Jane Tiernan, Of
an old and wealthy Pittsburg family.
She told her spiritual guide, DR.. Mi
chael o'Connor, that she was deter
mined to go to Ireland to become a
Sister of Mercy. DR.. o'Connor was
delighted, but said rather indifferent
ly: ooh! don't be in too great a hurry:
VIC may have Sisters of Mercy in
America yeti" Miss Tiernan began to
pray very fervently. Imagine her de-
light when long after this, in 1s4s. just
as she finished a novena, she read in
her favorite Tablet" that Bishop o.
Connor and seven Sisters Of Mercy
had left Liverpool and were sailing for
America, and would soon be in Pitts
burg. One Of the first visitors to the
young community was Miss Herman,
and month later she presented her
self as the first postulant.

POLITICAL ALlGNMENTs.

On the, re-assembling of Congress
the fight for the next presidential NOM
ination will commence among Republic
cans. Two Ohio men will be prominent
in the contest: Taft on the side of the
administration and Foraker as leader
of the opposition. The alignment of
forces has already commenced. The
nature of the contest can already be
predicted. The only element of UNI
certainty is the president himself.
Should he decide to allow his name to
go before the contention. there would
DO no contest. Ha has plenty of OPP
position among Republican leaders, but
he is SO immensely popular with the
people of the nation, that a contest to
defeat him would be useless. The re-
cent interview Of Secretary Taft is an
indication that he will be tie admin
istration's candidate before the next
convention. Senator F'orakers attack
upon the president for his discharge
Of the colored troops is q skilful stroke
to gain possession of the Republican
skeleton in the South.
To every Republican convention a
bunch of delegates comes from the
South who represent no votes. These
delegates are usually controlled by the
administration. They consist for the
most part of postmasters and other
federal appointees. I'orakes has taken
the opportunity presented to him to
arouse antagonism on the part of the
southern negroes against the president.
With the negro vote, he would Of
course he able to select the Republican
delegates from every southern state.
In a contest between two candidates
anywhere evenly balanced the south
ern delegates would constitute the bal
ance Of power. 1t will be remembered
that at Minneapolis in 1892, the Re-
publican national convention was con-
trolled by the delegates from the South.
They brought about the nomination Of
General Harrison against Blaine, the
popular choice Of the people. 1t may
be that Senator Foraker is now laying
the foundation for sufficient number
Of delegates to control the next Re-
publican nomination.. at any rate,
there is certain to be an interesting
fight this winter and during the ses-
sion Of the next Congress between the
fast friends of the president and his
enemies, who are the leaders in the
United States Senate.

Next week Minneapolis will have a
new city administration. We believe
that the great majority of the people
of the city are thoroughly tired Of the
constant turmoil that has existed the
past two years in the administration of
the city's affairs. They are willing to
give the new city administration a fail
chance and will be profoundly thank.
sful If the citys affairs arc conducted
in a straightforward, quiet and eff
fective way. 1t is bad enough to have
politics every two years, but to have
them as continuous vaudeville per-
Torrance is distracting.
