A HEALTHFUL FRUIT.

The apple may have been the fruit OF

was some reason IN HIS fear Of a draft.
Americans, as a rule. are a little too in
different TO the possibilities Of catching
a cold. and. as a result, they are usually
afflicted with one; indeed, throat affec-
tons are very common among us.
People take cold not when inhailng
good, fresh air, but when sitting in a
draft. even when not overheated, or
when sitting in the direct line with an
electric fan. Others will rush into the
house after playing tennis or otherwise
exercising. drink several glasses Of iced
water, and then rest on the cold stone
steps until they are thoroughly chilled.

BOILING EGGS.

The cook who finds il hard 20 meet the
varied tastes Of the family in boiled eggs
may find the following rules useful:
When the water boils hard, two min
utes should be allowed If the white OF the
egg is just TO be set; three minutes for a
soft boil; 1--WE minutes for a medium, and
from eight to ten minutes for a hard
boiled egg.
Many persons prefer that the latter be
cooked from twenty minutes 20 half an
hour. especially If the egg is to be used
for garnishing.
The greater length Of time Is said to

Plus X, in a letter 70 Cardinal Gibbons
and the bishops OF the United States. has
addressed an earnest appeal to Catholics
TO provide adequately for the needs OF our
Indian missions. He particularly com
mends the work Of the Society for the
Preservation OF the Faith Among Indian
Children. This society interests itself es-
pecially in the Indian schools. The last
report OF the Catholic Indian bureau
shows that the law depriving the Catholic
Indian schools Of government support had
not only failed to close these schools, but
failed even 10 reduce the enrolment the
attendance being limited only by the ca
pacity Of the schools themselves. But, on
the other hand. we find that the church

had made an allowance OF S247.672 The
difference in the figures reveals 70 US at
glance the munihcent generosity Of Moth
er Catherine DreXel, who, almost unaided
and single-handed. has maintained these
poor children out OF her private fortune.
The holy father now appeals TO US 10 cor
rect this condition OF affairs and 20 do
our full duty 20 these children OF the red
man. who has suffered so much CALLING
injustice at the hands Of the white man.
During the year covered by the report the
total number Of Catholic children attend

$3.50. being nearly half OF the entire gov
eminent Indian school attendance.

such is he in the history OF ages who sits
from generation to generation In the chair
OF the apostles as the vicar Of Christ and
the doctor OF His church. These are not
words OF rhetoric, gentlemen, but OF his
tory. All who take part with the apostle
are on the winning side. He has long
since given warrants for the confidence
which he claims. From the first he has
looked through the wide world. Of which

New York, June Gas Pentecost, the
Feast of Weeks. was one OF the three
great feasts OF the Jewish year. so Pen
tecost Sunday. which falls this year on
June 7. is one Of the three great feasts
that divide the Christian ecclesiastical
year into three seasons, VIZ, Christmas,
preceded by the four weeks OF Advent;
Easter, preceded by the six weeks OF
Lent, and Pentecost, fifty days after
Easter, and from which all the following
Sundays Of the year I'LL Advent are dated.
The English name for the feast is Whit
Sunday and is derived, according to
skeat's Etymological Dictionary. from
the Anglo-SaxOn Invita- Sunnandag,"
meaning White Sunday; probably so called
from the white robes worn by those whom
il was customary to baptize by immersion
at this season.
To Christians the day is especially sa-
cred. for on It, at the third hOur-i. e.,
about o'clock-the Holy Ghost descend
ed on the apostles with "a sound from
heaven, as OF a mighty wind coming.
And there appeared TO them part
ed tongues, as II were, Of FIRE, and Il sat
upon every one Of them; and they were
all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they
began 10 speak with divers tongues" so
that some twenty different nationalities
assembled in Jerusalem heard them speak
each one in his own tongue.
This was the birthday OF the church,
when she received her full mission 70
teach. and began to preach the gospel 10
all nations, as she has continued TO do to
this day, converting and civilizing the
peoples Of the earth as no other teaching
body IN history has ever done
Benedict XIV mentions many beautiful
symbolical customs which prevailed In
some places concentrating these events,
such as the blowing OF trumpets at the
hymn Come, Holy Spirit" in the mass
Of Whit Sunday, the discharge OF FIRE
from the roof, letting doves loose in the
church, and the scattering Of roses.
