The MIGRATION of the Ricds.

Twice every year a wave of living
birds. almost inconceivably grand in the
number involved, surges over North
America. says the Atlantic Monthly.
The autumn wave rolls from the Arctic
tundras of Canada and Alaska to the
torrid valley of the Amazon and the
great pampas of the La, Plata, only to
roll back again in the ice bound north
ern ocean with the northward progress
sion of the sun. And almost as cease
less as the ever rising, ever falling
swell of the ocean tides is this miracu-
Io,ls tide of beating wings and pulsatlng
little hearts. The last stragglers OF the
northward migration do not reach their
northern home before the early part OF
June. but in July the southwark setting
tire has begun again.
The number of birds that make up
This mighty wave almost passes COM
nrehension. Probably more than 80 per
cent of all birds making their summer

The Holy SepuIchre.

Ghalib Pasha, who visited Rome Nth
the Ottoman Mission which announced
to the Pope the accession of the new
Sultan, had conversation with his
Holiness regarding the establishment of
a Nunciature at Constantinople.
During the conversation the Pope haz-
arded a question as to the possibility of
the purchase of the Holy Sepulchre in
Jerusalem and its transportation to
Rome or some other Italian city. This
question was raised in the past By Six
tus ". who wished to bring the Sepul-
chre to Montalto, his birthplace, but was
baked of his desire
The Pope, however, will not let the
question drop, and will seek to procure
the good offices of the German En-
peror towards gaining his end.
The Holy Sepulchre, for the sancitity
of which the Crusades were fought, lies
in the great Church of the Sepulchre
which has for centuries been the center
of Christian religious thought in Jeru-
salem. The tomb itself is a cavity in
the rock covered by a marble shelf five
feet long, two feet wide and three feet
high. The tomb lies in the tiny Chapel
of the Sepulchre," room six and
half feet long, six feet wide and very

Church Universal

| by Ray Stannard Baker on the Spirit
ual Unrest" In his October scontribu-
ton Mr.. Baker says: There is some
thing Infinitely pathetic in the effort of
the old Jews in maintaining their re-
! nglon in New York, and in less eXag-
| gerated form one may see the older
Presbyterians, Methodists and Roman
| catholics struggling desperately in the
torrent of modern progress to preserve
all the old conditions and customs of
their churches. Mr.. Baker nowhere
| gives name or date or authority for his
! presumption that the Catholic church
IS IN the same boat with the other re-
! lelons. Altogether, he has mentioned
IN the course of his investigation having
visited only two Catholic churches, and
ne testifies that both of them were
! crowded. But he seems to find a special
delight in throwing the, name Roman
catholic" into his accounts of the des-
perate straits of Jews and Protestants
and lnsinuating in a general way that
the Catholic church is sharing all their
Ills of decay. For instance: "A few
Jewish congregations in New York
nave bought out and rearranged (as
synagogues) abandoned Protestant or
roman Catholic churches" We haven't
the data at hand to denounce this with
want to see sworn proofs before believ-
ing it of even one Catholic church in
New York City.
Again he says: "a worldwide liberal
ism is shaking ancient institutions; old
walls are everywhere lettering The
Roman Catholic has his Moderist the
Protestant his Higher Critic and the
Jew his Reform Movement" Mr.. Ba-
ker likes this statement so well that he
publishes it twice. in both the October
and September numbers of the same
magazine. 1t is the grossest misrepre-
sentation. The October Missionary"
published by the Apostolic Mission
House, says of it: ITO class Modern
ism among Catholics with Higher Crit
lclsma among Protestants and the Re
form Movement among the Jews, is
about as fair and accurate as to class
the plague of San Francisco in 1905
where few rats were infected, with the
Black Death of London in 134S. where
nine out of every ten men died.
Catholics have too much at stake to
let this sort of thing go unrebuked.
Pastors and parents must safeguard the
mind of impressonable youth, and ev-
cry Catholic is obliged to make
straight the way of the Lord" for nom
catholics who are hungering after the
Divine life. Loyalty to the church and
the true missionary spirit alike call for
action. William Randolph Hearst ap-
pears to have been terribly upset on re-
turning from Europe lately to find that
his editor, Brisbane, had reused the
Catholics of New York by scurrilous
attacks on the church and the pope, and
is now eXerting himself to placate Cath
olic opinion. Similar good results might
be expected if every reader of this wrote
to the American Magazine demanding
for Ray Stannard Bakers detraction of
the church. either proof or retraction.

A Discovery of Real Value.

The Standard and Times draws atten-
ton to the fact that while pages of
the newspapers are being devoted to
the almost worthless achievement of the
Cook-Peary discovery" another dis
covery of infinitely greater value to the
human race is suffered by the press
to pass almost unmentioned. A young
Italian doctor named Salambini, prac-
ticing and studying in st. Petersburg.
has, after long research, discovered the
serum for the destruction of cholera
germs.
Already the discovery has saved thou
sands of lives, it is reported. The search
for the poles on the other hand, as

thousands of lives and immense value

world. Surely there ought to be thou
sand times more honor for the worlds

PRAYERS For THE DEAL.

"A Plain Man." in the London Satur-
day Review, speaks his mind in relation
to prayers for the dead and shows how
the practice appeals to the reason of
one not a Catholic. He says:
l am speaking instinctively. l do not
profess to know the theology of the mat
| ter; but I am very sure that the man or
woman who has any Christian belief at
all would pray for the dead as matter
of course, if there were no prejudice.
But 1 find most English people saying,
! That's what the Roman Catholics do
or "Protestants do not pray for the
dead" l do not quarrel with either
| proposition, but neither seems to have
anything to do with the matter. Surely
the question is, rs it good to pray for
the dead?" If it is, Roman Catholics
doing it cannot make it bad, any more
than it can make it good if in itself it
is bad. / am not Roman Catholic and
l am real person (as the editor of this
Review knows). 1 approach the matter
simply as a man, a soul.
think it may be taken as admitted that
no Anglican can be accounted disloyal
because he prays for the dead. Still
more certainly, he could not be account
ed disloyal because ne did not pray for
them. So far is he from being in any
way encourage to do so by anything in
the Prayer-book, that it might almost
be said that implicitly, though not eX
pIicitly, the Church of England excludes
prayers for the dead. The burial serv-
ice takes you with the dead
to the graveyard: ASHES to ashes, dust
to DUST" there, so far as all touch, all
communion with him whose mere NOR
tai body they are burying, it ends Not
prayer for him. He crosses the bar,
of4 II, 1,o
sets out for the undiscovered country,
and they do not even wish him bon voy-
age. Excluding all prayer for him
whose body is buried, the Church of
England is obliged to include all alike
in the certain hope of a joyful resur-
rection." 1t is right that the benefit of
the doubt should be given to the dead;
none the less there is an unreality that
sometimes Jars in assuming saintship
of notorious i'll Ivers. A single prayer
commencing the dead to God would
save all this.
Logically. how can we do without
prayer for the dead? They live, and
nothing that lives can be independent
of God; and if not independent of God,
they are a reasonable subject of prayer
to God. What difference can it
make whether the soul is living here in
the body or elsewhere? To suggest that
PRAYER is of force only on one particular
planet is to reduce it to an absurdity.
There is a theological explanation to
this effect; if lost, prayer i; useless; if
saved, superfluous. Passing the lot of
the lost, it is really blasphemous to say
the saved do not need our prayers, for
it is saying that they have gone beyond
Gods control But heaven hangs on
God as much as earth. In word, do
the souls of the blest cease to be in
Gods keeping? If they do not. it must
be ever right to pray to God to watch |
over them and keep them. If this prayer |
can ever be unnecessary, all prayer is a |
1eluson.

Christian Scientists at Mission,

What gave a little zest to the mission
for non-Catholics in the Paulist church
in San Francisco recently conducted by
band from the Apostolic Mission
house was the presence of a large mum
Der of Christian Scientists These
bright eyed, intelligent folk came every
night. all being loaded with questions
for the missionaries Fathers Doyle To-
wey and Walsh.
One Of the questions read, Il listened
with interest to your proofs that the
power Of forgiving sins exists in the
Catholic church today, and 1 am about
convinced that it is so. But what about
the power of healing that was given
at the same timeo Has it vanished ?
"A Christian Scientist"
Father Doyle was answering the ques-
tons that evening. Not So" he re-
piled. THE power of healing has al
ways remained with the Church. 1t was
exermised in apostolic times in a more
striking way because there was need
of abundant proof to convince the pa
gan world of the truth of Christianity.
But the same power of healing has been
exercised ever since. The lives of the
saints bear evidence that the gift Of
miracles has been present in the church
in all ages. Read the story of Lour-
y
ern times"
He then related a miracle that came
under his own observation at Lourdes
where man being blind received his
sight. Then to prove still further his
statement, Father Doyle proceeded to
read an affidavit that Father Wyman
had given him as he assembled the pull
pit in which . we'll known mining man
Of Nevada county, California, declares
under oath that he had been suffering
from a stroke of paralysis for nine
years. His left side was withered and
the doctors pronounced his case in
durable. Last May he began with some
Catholic friends novena. He himself
was a non-Catholic at the time. At the
termination of the novena he found,
and the doctors certified, that he was
completely cured. When he began he
could not walk alone. At the close OF
the novena his limbs had assumed their
normal size and strength. Since then
he has been received into the church.
All this was recited in detail in the af-
fidavit and sworn to before notary
public
Father Doyle was quite unprepared
for the climax that followed. No soon
er had he finished reading the affidavit
and turned to the next question when q
strong. healthy looking man stood up
in the middle of the church and said in
a loud clear voice 4 am the man."
This produced a profound sensation
Every one present, particularly the CO.
terie Of Christian Scientists. showed
signs of being affected by the instance;
and after the services, made the gen
tleman who had borne witness the CEN
ter Of an interested and sympathetic
crowd.
It seemed a providential answer to
the question Of the Christian Scientists
and several Of them applied later for
instruction in preparation for entering
the Church.

Philadelphia get $50 week, or half of


The census office figures show that in
1905 103, lis employees in hosiery mills got
just over 1904 year each. If they were
continuously employed they got not
quite Sc a week. The same authority
gives the average wages in the cotton
goods industry at the same figure.
There are plenty of men employed in
cotton mills at less than SO a week,
and the greater part of the hands are
women and children. The average wage
in paper and pulp works is given at a
little less than $500 a year. and if the
men are out of employment two or three
weeks in the year this agrees with the
tstimony given to the Mann committee
that the wages are $40 to $12 a week.
The wages in wooden mills averaged less
than $500 a year, less than IS week.
A report on the British wooden in
dustry by w. A. Graham Clark, an
agent of our department of commerce
and labor, gives these typical wages in
the mills of Bradford and Leeds: Boss
spinner, 1914; his assistant $1152;
other overlookers, $40: warp twisters,
N.2O; warp dressers, $40; women spin
ners on mules, Sc to $72O; spinner in
charge of one pair of mules, $7.20; in
charge of two pairs of mules, $50 to
$3.50. Let Mr.. Aldrich produce an hon
est comparative table of home and for
eign wages, with the number of spin
dies or looms to each person employed

THE GENERAL INTENTION FOR

recommended by His Holiness, Plus
The Catholic Instinct.

w nat common sense is in the domain
OF daily life, such is Catholic instinct i'm
the affairs of faith When set ru1es
OF action are lacking or obscure in their
appllcation, when precedent cannot be
Iound, and no one is near to advise
US then 1t is that common sense comes
20 our rescue, and leads US through
Palhs where no surer guide is at hand.
IN exactly the same way there are mo-
ments in the souls life when the ordi-
nary landmarks are swept away or
llluuen, when action is imperative vet
error imminent, and the voice of God
cannon De heard; our instinct for what
y Odthollc can then be our ONLY stav
ms instinct is, as it were. a spiritual
sense and unerring perception of the
soul, by which we instinctively and nm
sclousiy judge or act as the infallible
Church would do. It was this instinct
"hlch LED the Christians of the fourth
century TO shrink from Arius wears
before his conciliar condemnation: it
was TINS instinct which prompted the
populace of Constantinople to rise I'D
and reject their heretical patriarch: it
Is This instinct which today inspires
even the ignorant to condemn the doc
Jrlnes of modern free-thought. More
To-Day than ever before is the Catholic
instinct needed. Men are casting off
the irksOmeness of initiating Christ and
are setting up self to be their Savior.
Against such we must beware. The
Catholic instinct is fostered by de-
Nout Catholic life. 1t is the flower of
humility and prayer It is the natural
result Of life such as the Church
wishes all her children to lead, and
makes its presence felt when it is most
needed, for those who walk in Gods
ways.

MADE FROM HIDES.
Magnitude of the Leather Business in
The Country.
CReyieW of RevieWs.l

The diversity of interests based on
this animal produce and their extent
cover such a vast field that the men
engaged in them have, apparently,
ceased to regard the subject in any
large, general way, the different divi-
sions occupying their attention as sepa-
rate products in themselves. To the
dealer in hides leather means, in gen.
eral, OK and COW hides for the making
of betting or the soles of shoes. The
shoe manufacturer is almost certain to
speak of shoes and leather as though
the industries were radically different.
The production and manufacture of
leather is very big business all over
the world. In the United States the
traffic in raw leather alone ranks third
in the commercial enterprises that en-
gage the attention of our people. If we
consider, however, in addition to leather
as raw material, the details of the diff
ferent articles manufactured from it
and base a calculation upon the num-
Der of people employed and the variety
of operations, the business of manufac-
turing articles from leather is the larg-
est and most important in the United
States Despite this fact, the inquirer
after facts concerning leather is amazed
to find how little has been written on
the subject.
This seems the more surprising, since
1t is of leather that are made so many
articles absolutely necessary for the
modern Americans everyday use and
comfort. To name these seems quite
superf1uous, almost to the point of re-
quiring an apology for so doing. Per-
haps for this reason so little is in print
about the substance of which are made
our shoes and almost all our gloves and
with which our hats are lined; that in
the very betting of the factories them

products; the substance that supplies

Wages in Europe and This countr,

The German document, whose sup
preston by Senator Aldrich has &C.
casioned some warm language in the
senate refers to a rate of wages of
$50 claimed to be paid in American
hosiery mills Does this mean $50 a
month? If so, German wages are
higher than ours. This document
says that in Germany IAN average
wage per week of s642 to STA is the
rule, though instances of wages from
81. 80 to S14.2S are not exceptional" We
presume from the context that some
body has been telling the ways and
means committee that wages in Ameri-
can hosiery mills are $50 a week. Of
course this is a clear case of impos-
ture. Somebody in hosiery mill may
get that rate, but how many? How
many workers in the hosiery mills of
