TEMPERANCE GROWING.

The governing body of the Catholic
Total Abstinence Union of America
held a conference on Friday of last
week at the parish house of St.
Mary's church. Chicago. All the
national officers attended. The con-
ference was devoted to a discussion
of ways and means to extend the
organization into all the Catholic
churches of America. The Rev. p.
]. O'Callaghan, President of the gov
erning board, said the organization
now has 10000 members. In the
evening a reception was given the
visitors at Cadet Hall. Addresses
were made by Father O'Callaghan
and others, and there were exhibit
tion drills by the Paulist and Hiber-
MAN cadets. A gold medal was pre-
scented to Major Harry w. Stonick,
drillmaster for the cadets.

QUAINT CUSTOMS
Etiquette Re-
uulres Dining at Full
Length.

All eyes lately have been turned to
the Attic regions, where the much
disputed Pole has been conquered
at last. The following account OF
how an Eskimo young woman
PLAYS the part of hostess will doubt
less interest many of our readers:
This is the way an Eskimo lady
sits at the head of her table and
dispenses hospitality, and these are
the delicate items in her bill of fare.
No matter how early you may
awaken in the morning, you will
always find the mistress of the
house already up; that is, her posi-
ton has changed from reclining to
sitting. But as soon as she observes
that you are really awake she hands
you a small piece of meat to steady
your nerves until breakfast time.
Then she goes into the next apart
ment. which is merely an enclosure
for keeping the dogs away from the
stores. and after fifteen minutes of
pounding and chopping returns with
the breakfast. A large. flat wooden
tray is placed on the floor, and the
landlady takes her position at one
end. in the attitude elegantly de-
scribed as squatting The family
and their guests gather around the
board on either side, lying flat on
their stomachs with their heads to-
ward the breakfast and their feet
out,
1.-THE first course is some frozen
weeds. mixed with seal oil and eaten
with small portions of fresh blubber,
which the lady of the house cuts
with large chopping knife. The
next course is walrus meat. This is
also cut up by the presiding lady,
and is served with no stinting hand.
At this portion of the meal the one
who can swallow the largest piece
without chewing has the advantage,
and the only way to get even with
him is to keep one piece in your
mouth and two in your hand. After
this joint has been thoroughly dis
cussed there comes a large piece of
walrus hide. which has a small por-
tion of blubber attached to il, and
the hair still on the outside. 1t is
about an inch thick and very tough.
so that il is impossible to affect
by chewing IT is therefore cut into
very small pieces by the hostess, and
finishes the meal. Really it is the
most palatable. dish of ALL"

OLD CHRISTMAS CAROL.

Last night as | lay sleeping,
When all my prayers were said,
With my guardian angel keeping
His watch above my head,
/ heard his sweet voice caroling,
Full softly on my ear,
A song for Christian boys to sing,
Foor Christian men to hear:
"Thy body be at rest, dear boy,
Thy soul be free from sin;
I'll shield thee from the worlds
annoy
And breathe pure words within.
The holy Christmas tide is nigh,
The season of Christ's birth;
Glory be to God on high
And peace to men on earth.
Myself and all the heavenly host
Were keeping watch of old,
And saw the shepherds at their
posts
And all the sheep in fold.
Then told we with joyful cry
The tidings of Christ's birth;
Glory be to God on high
And peace to men on earth.
"He bowed to all his Fathers will,
And meek He was and lowly;
And year by year his thoughts were
still
Most innocent and holy
He did not come to strive or cry,
But ever from his birth
Gave glory unto God on high
And peace to men on earth.
Like Him be true. like Him be pure,
Like Him be full of love;
Seek not thine own, and so secure
Thine own that is above.
And still when Christmastide draws
nigh
Sing thou of Jesus birth:
Glory be to God on high,
And peace to men on earth.

GIVING IN CHARITY.

At this season of the year, when all
who are possessed of the world S
goods seem joyous, it is well to re-
member the poor. Do not let Christ
mas go by without doing something
for some poor and distressed friend.
The world is of no practical use to
the man who gives nothing to char
ity, the man who has no helping hand
for his brother. Often kind word
will encourage brother in distress
The man who lives for himself
dies unheralded and unsung, no mat
ter what his wealth. There are 9TH
ers. too, with money who could aid
others to success. but who give adj
vice instead of material aid. This is
the season when moral advisers
should open purses instead Of
mouths.
