"The death Of his sister was the
signal Of departure for himself. He
survived her forty days. He an
nounced his death to several of his
monks, then far from Monte Casino.
A violent fever having seized him, he
caused himself on the sixth day OF
his sickness to be carried to the Cha
pei of st. John the Baptist; he had
before ordered the tomb in which his
sister already slept to be orened.
There, supported in the arms OF his
disciples, he received the holy Viati-
cum, then, placing himself at the
side of the open grave, but at the foot
of the altar, and with his arms ex-
tended toward heaven, he died, stand
ing. whispering last prayer. Such
a victorious death became the great
soldier Of God. He was buried by the
side of his beloved Scholastica, in a
sepulchre made on the spot where
stood the Altar Of Apollo, which he
had replaced by another to our be-
loved Saviour. New York Amer

Postman Art Critic.

One of the first visitors to each
new exhibition of paintings in the
gallery of Fifth avenue art dealer
is the letter carrier on the route. He
always keeps himself informed as to
when the new shows are due, and on
his second round of delivering the
mail - by which time the show is
ready-he invariably goes into the
galleries and stays there examining
the paintings with keen interest and
evident pleasure, as long as he dares
to take off from his schedule. And
when he leaves he always takes time
enough to express his approval of the
show to the owner of the gallery

A Religion of Work.
BY EBERT HUBBARD.

/ Jun. To study eight hours a day
was not enough said Cassiodorus.
We should copy the great works of
literature SO that every monastery
shall have library as good as that
which we have at Monte Casino. /"
He himself was an expert penman,
and he set himself the task Of teach
ing the monks how to write as well
as read. ITO write beautifully is a
great Joy to our God, (. he said.
Benedict liked the idea, and at
once put 1t into execution. Cassie
dorus is the patron saint OF every
maker of books who loves his craft.
The systematic work of the scrip
forum originated In the brain Of Cas-
siodorus, and he was appointed by
Benedict to go from one monastery to
another and inform the Abbot that a
voice had come from God to Benedict
saying chat these precious books must
be copied and presented to those who
would prize them.
Cassiodorus had been secretary of
state under the Emperor Theodore,
and he had also been soldier. He
was seventy years of age when he
came under the influence of Benedict,
through a chance visit to Monte Cas-
sino, Benedict at first ordered him to
take an ak and work with the SER
wants at grubbing out underbrush
and preparing field for planting.
Cassiodorus obeyed. and soon dis
covered that there was JOY in obedi-
ence he had before never guessed.
His name was Brebantus Varus, but
on his declaring that he was going to
remain and work with Benedict, he
was complimented by being given the
name of Cassiodorus, suggested by
the word Cassinum or Casino. Cas-
siodorus lived to be ninety-two, and
was one Of the chief factors, after
Benedict himself, in introducing the
love of art and beauty into the
church.
Near Monte Casino was nunnery,
presided over by Scholastica, the twin
sister Of Benedict Renan says that
the kinship of Scholastica and Bene-
dict was :; Spiritual tie, not one of
blood. If so, we respect it none the
less st. Gregory tells of The death
Of Benedict thus: Benedict was at
the end of his career. His interview
with Torila took place in 542, in the
year which preceded his death, and
from his earliest day of the following
year God prepared him for his last
struggle, by requiring from him the
sacrifice OF the most tender affection
he had retained ON earth. The beau
tiful and touching incident of the
last meeting of Benedict and his twin
sister, Scholastica, is a picture long to
remember, At the window of his cell,
three days after her death, Benedict
had a. vision of his dear sisters soul
entering heaven in the form of a
snowy dove. He Immediately sent
for her body and placed it in sepul-
chre which he had already prepared
for himself, that death might not

TO BREAK, OR TO TRAIN, WHICH?
have seen many fine colts almost
ruined by what we so commonly call
breaking" them When 1 was boy
the proposition of breaking usually
meant battle, not always to the
death, but always to the finish. 1t
meant to select good moment for an
attack, make a sturdy charge, and
by beating and driving and fighting,
finally, after day or two, persuade
the colt that there was simply no use
in offering objections, he had come
to the time when we going to do
whatever we pleased with him Life
took an an entirely new and gloomy
aspect for the young horse. Now l
am not admitting that l participated
in this sort of melee The fact is,
never broke a colt nor helped break
one myself. But have watched it a
good deal and talked with both capa-
BILE horsemen and others.
/ said when was a boy rather
should have said where / was a boy. {"
It isn't necessarily trrs that men
knew so much less about breaking
horses years ago than we 10 now. I
knew men then who trained" their
colts instead of breaking or annihilat-
ing them.
The proper course to follow is to
begin at the beginning Of the colts

taencs and friendship. Epitomist. 4

BrotherlY Kindness

1t seems to me sometimes. when I get to

distant toward each other. both men aud

Ii is very plain to me that we are leaving the
old familiar paths Of our fathers-paths OF
brotherly kindness, hospitality and genuine sym

new psths-of selfshness, greed and dishonor.
II makes me sad. too. when / think OF these
things; sad because we are trampling under foot
that brotherly kindness and loving sympathy
which Christ said should exist among us.
Christ loved us. His brothers-He called us
His brothers-with so great and true a love that
lie laid down His life for us. poor, unworthy
sinners that We are. Yet cannot love our
fellowmen Just little for His sake But alas 1!
who hath not this spirit OF brotherly kindness IN

All truthful men must acknowledge that LIE

Of large and important affairs.
The success of Mrs. Young should be
gerat encoura cement to the girls of to-
day. She is "a years of hge. and at the
beginning of her life-work was only Z
graduate Of the high school OF Chicago.
and began to teach for S25 a month. or
course she was not satisfied and used her
leisure for her advancement in learning.
So well did she succeed that President
Harper offered her the chair OF pedagogy
ia Chicago university. She told him that
she had no doctors degree and did not
want to teach those VINO were working
for what she did not have herself. His
reply was that II was the teacher, not
the degree. that he wanted But he had
to wait until she had her oegree, theT.
she taught for him six years.
Some OF the impatient ones viii say
that she had to wait a long time for this
recognition. True, in a sense, yet all
these years she has had the satisfaction
OF knowing that she was doing good
" ork. she was progressing and not losing
ground. Look about you and count the
women or men who have done as well.
In many instances It is ones own fault
IL Success does not tarry at your place
of business. There ere hundreds Of teach
ers who will start school this year who
are not as well qualified to teach as they
were even last year. Times are changing
and the teacher who-does not care enough
for his or her profession to take at least

place, be that place where 1t may This
is strong language, but ii is the truth.
What woman would go TO a dressmaker
to have a dress made and not expect to
find some sort Of fashion paper? Yet
that womans little children are sent to a
teacher who is in the same rut she
dropped into when the first school was
taught. I know two teachers who had
good schools last year: the one who real
" made the best reputation for herself
went to a normal this summer and will
have the choice of several schools; the
other lolled around and did nothing, and
gets no school this time till all the best

has to have the ''culls' or none. ASK

And you needn't think Mary isn't hur-
rying to the Harrimans. She is. Mary
cabled that she would hurry on the first
boat that left Scotland. And Hartman
paid for the telegram.
The family adores her oatmeal. No one
can cook it as she can. Hartman told
William Mcclellan, superintendent of the
grounds, that he simply couldn't eat
breakfast without Mary's oatmeal.
Hartman, fighting for life, arouses
your pity. He has won so many lights.
Some day he'll lose this one, as we all
do: but will he lose, now-soon-with so
much work to do?
He is trying to get well by the same
means that he got sick-strenuously. With
his vast wealth, in his new home, high
in the sweet fresh air. he has had every
aid that money and skill can give him.
His new home is marvellous, though it
is not yet completed. Scores of workmen
toiled night and day the week before he
arrived to get a dozen rooms into shape.
Harrimans ideas about the kind of home
he wanted were vague. Mrs. Hartman
did much of the planning. She planned a
home in which they might spend their de-
clining years.
