CHRISTMAS MASSES.
Mo EXCUSE For Any One
Failing to Attend Holy
Sacrifice.

Christmas of course is holy day
of obligation. There should be no
excuse for any Catholic missing
mass on that day. Many hear at
least three masses on Christmas. In
Louisville the first mass in nearly
all the churches is celebrated at D
o'clock. This year the usual custom
will prevail.
In churches where there are two
or more priests mass can be heard
at almost any hour. Christmas IS
the only day of the year on which a
priest has the privilege of celebrat-
ing three masses. Invariably the
priests avail themselves of this
privilege.
AT the Cathedral, St. Anthony's,
st. Boniface's, st. Martins and St.
Louis Bertrand's masses will be in
progress almost continually from s
o'clock in the morning until noon.
Every devout Catholic will approach
holy communion on Christmas orn-
ing.

THE NEW %BALLOONING.
1t Takes Courage to Soar Astride
a Skeleton Framework.

To stand in the canvas house which
shelters a ~dirigible balloon and to ex-
anime the craft itself gives one d new
idea of the courage and steady nerves
required for aerial navigation.
One considers just what it means to
mount 500 feet above solid earth, as
oendins or descending at an angle OF
40 degrees. buffeted by breezes which
may catch the nose of the balloon and
make it. buck like a frightened horse
or fling it against chimney or spire.
All the time n is holding on mere
ly by hooking ones heels against a two
inch oak strip-less support than a stir
rup-with n hand on a similar bar,
at the mercy of cords, not ropes, hall
ar inch in diameter and a bubble of
japanese silk and hydrogen gas which
may burst or take fire and a gasoline
motor which may suddenly stop run
ming, leaving you to be whirled like A
leaf. at the mercy of the winds of
heaven.
Tie balloon idea to which We are
more accustomed has at least some APP
rroach to our beloved earthborn no
tons of solid ~materiality. says a writer
in Fly. The wicker basket has strength
and size, the ropes are heavier and the
larger gas envelope gives one a greater
sense of safety.
6~aliooning of the older type is a fair
ly well established occupation. But TO
mount into the heavens astride a skele-
ton framework, TO dive and soar and
wheel in circles. to beat into the wind
and keep ones balance in the heavier
gusts. with the old of a lateral rud-
der, calls for spirit and imagination of
a new order.

SEED OF THE VIOLET.
Flower Blooms Twice in a Sea-
s0n-lts Explosive Pod.

The common wild violet affords one
of the most remarkable illustrations of
the are and apparent foretbought of
nature in preserving a species. As
everybody knows. the violet grows in
the shade, in pastures, woods and fields
where the grass is abundant and long.
il comes US early in the spring and
flowers at a time when the grass is
most abundant and succulent. OF
course, il is liable 10 be cut down by
the scyt1e, but much more likely is it
to be bitten off by grazing animals,
The vioicts that come in the spring
either do not seed at all or very spar
ingly, so,tbst II the plant relied on its
spring flowers for seed it would prob
ably perish 0T the earth in a very few
years.
But in the late fall the plant bears
another crop of blossoms that are never
seen save by the professional botanist.
They are very small, utterly insignifi-
cant III appearance. and grow either
just at or below the surface OF the
ground. These are the flowers which
produce lie seeds for the next season.
The flowers on long stems blooming in
spring are for use, and the number of
seeds they bear may be judged from
the ease with which a Wild violet bed
spreads.
When the seeds are ripe the pod ex-
plodes, scattering them 10 a consider
able distance, often to ten or twelve
feet from the parent plant. so that, in
spite OF its boosted modesty, the violet
only takes care OF itself, but be-
comes q Troublesome aggressor.-F'rom

A fire that threatened to do serious

broke out in a lumber drying shed of
Browns Lumber Company's yard last
night. The blaze is thought to have
been started by tranps. Battalion
Chief Morgan caused a second alarm
to be sent out as the flames, swept by
a strong wind. menaced the Newark

Although the firemen lost no time in
getting to work the drying shed was
burning SO fiercely that they had hard
work to get near it..
While the fire was at its height il
was learned that there were three
horses owned by the lumber company
housed in the lower part of the build
ing. They were rescued by William
Courtenhouse, a driver in the employ
of the transportation company.
When the firemen got through with
their work they were coated with leo.

them.
The damage will amount to more than
