The Value of Meditation.

Many time we have heard persons
say that when they are utterly ia
tigued and almost on the verge of ner-
Yous prOstratton from the strenuous
work and harrying worry of the bust
ling life of Chicago, they have derived
an unspeakable restfulness and calDl
of soul from passing q few minutes In
a Catholic church. The perfect still
ness of the place, the sanctuary anne
symboltzing the love in the hearts of
the parishioners for Christ in the
Blessed Sacrament. that vivid sense of
the Real Presence, which never deserts
the Catholic mind, invite to quiet and
holy contemplation. But even Protest
ants feel the spell of the situation. The
inuence of meditation on all the powers
Of the mind. and indirectI1' on the ner-
vous system can scarcely be exagger-
ated. Some Hindoo sages who visited
this country few years ago, declared
with establishment that the American
people had evidently no inner life at
all. They said that it was an invaria-
BILE part of their daily round of duties
to spend an hour in profound medita-
ton. Cardinal Newman, in the even
ing Of his life, confessed that his intel
leCtual powers had been marvelously
strengthened after his conversion by the
habitual practice of daily meditation

from insomnia,
But often that person who suffers
from prolonged wakefulness which he
does not understand is allowing his
brain to work at sixty miles an hour.
He would not think for a moment of
trying to sleep while dancing around

HAIR SUPERSTITI0NS

From Professor Carl KnOrtz's Latest
Book Translation for the New York
American,l
From time immemorial human hair
has been regarded as a mysterious
means for working spells and miracles.
The old Egyptians sacrificed their
hair In time of national or private mis-
fortune TO the Nile. while the women of
Athens gave the hair of their ailiHS
children as a sacrifice to Diana
EXpectant mothers among the Greeks
cut off their hair and sold it, laying the
proceeds on the altar of Hygiea Hy-
giene), daughter of Aeso ulapius. In re-
turn they hoped for healthy and beau
tiful children
During stormy weather on the coast
of Nova Scotia native shippers clip the
hair of beard and head. to use them as
'oil on the water" 1t being an anciens
belief in those parts that storms are
caused by the devil lashing the ocean.
the sacrifice of hair thrown into the
angry sea is really a sacrifice to the
EVIL One.
When a native of Mexico celebrates
his, or her, tenth birthday, the mother
cuts off the ends of the child's hair and
burns them as sacrifice to the good
spirits" During this ceremony the
youngSter receives its second name
that is, he, or she, is put in charge of a
second patron saint
In some parts Of Ireland the old pa
gan custom of throwing the hair of
sick persons into wells and rivulets is
still in vogue among the ignorant. who
believe that persons or animals swal-
lowing one of the hairs, while drinking,
also absorb the disease of the sufferer.
A similar superstition exists in Scot
land, but there the charm works differ

some of it's cutoff hair between two
pieces of buttered bread and feeds the
sandwich to a dog, presumably one of
which she is not overload; for. accord
ing to common belief. the dog will
forthwith be attacked by measles, fever
or whatever ails the little one
In other parts of Scotland hair from
the head of equity woman, or from
the beard of man afflicted with govt,
is buried, amid weird ceremonies, on
cross road. This is supposed to cure
the govt, for time at least. provided
the burial takes place during full moon.

The first movement is to thrust the
jaw out so that you can feel the
muscles of the throat pull Then. be-
fore the feeling of this pull is gone,
draw the chin back as far as it will
go. After this exercise tilt the head
up and down until tired, although this
must not be done too violently or a
headache may result. Now, with the
chin thrust out. tip the head over to

GIVING MEDICINE TO
THE LITTLE ONES
Babies Must Be Quiet Before Dose Is
Administered, or Poison
Nav NaUSedte,

Giving medicine to children is one of
the most difficult problems that young
mothers have to cope with. for some
little ones have such a horror of a dose
that they work themselves into a con-
dition of nervous illness before the med
icine gets into their stomachs. And so
ii frequently nauseates them, thus MAX
ing successive doses harder to give.
There is no question but that If a
child shows a disposition to rebel
against swallowing medicine the men
tai tussle must be gone through with
and settled first-that is, there is no
use in trying to give the dose while ad-
ministering admonitions The little
ones stomach must be quiet. and this
cannot be il he is in tears or is scream
ing
So when the child refuses ii is essen
tial to put the medicine aside and to
make him understand that the cure
must be taken. He must not for an in
slant be permitted to think that he has
gained his point and need not take it
To the contrary, he is given to under
stand that he is obliged to, and that
the sooner he is quiet the better. Pre-
cisely how this is to be accomplished
depends upon individual temperament
and the way each parent handles the
babe. Sometimes. when the argument
Is prolonged, a spanking may be re-
CURED. One small girl who had three
doses of this maternal discipline be-
came quiet and swallowed her medi-
cine. There was never any trouble with
her afterward. for she had been made
to accept the fact that medicine, when
it was brought to her, was to be taken,
and TO fuss only made the condition
worse. CoaXing works with some lit
tie ones, with others punishment is re-
quired. Each parent must decide this
for herself
During the time that this matter of
will contest is in progress the medicine
is not administered. When the child
has been conquered he must be given a
few minutes to quiet sobs of temper,
and then the dose must be given.
If the sick child thinks. he cannot
swallow medicine, no matter how much
he may want to, he must be broken of
this idea He is apt to change his idea
rather quickly, too, if he finds that each
time he elects the medicine a fresh dose
is given. 1t takes a clever child only
a few moments to realize that he is
simply prolongins the agony.
The notion some have that thew can
not swallow pills is likely to be mag
ination, which 1t is not always we'll to
give in to. If there is g reason for
paying heed TO it an easy way of OBJ
Waiting is to give liquid instead. for
there are few prescriptions that cannot
be administered in this form The old
way OF giving pills in jelly does not
commend itself to present ideas The
sweet, combined with medicine. is apt
to upset the stomach, causing nausea.
To deceive child about medicine and
tell him il is good is great mistake.
This may work once, but he will be sus-
picious ever after. He should be made
to understand that medicine is not a
Joke, but that it is less disagreeable
than to be i'll, and that whether he
wishes or not he must take 1t.

To thoroughly clean the skin, luke
warm water with a little pure soap is
probably the best thing to be used. If
one is in the habit of cleansing the skin
with cold cream, it is not necessary to
use soap on the face. Those who keep
the skin soft and smooth in winter
have no idea of the difficulty that be-
sets those who allow il to go uncared
for. All the dust and CRIME is held
more securely by skin that is full of
rough edges and invisible creviCeS. No
wonder women exclaim that their hands
and face never look clean during the
season. The secret of this truth is that
they use cheap soap and water as the
only cleaning agent, and 90 nothing to
obviate their i'll effects.

Not the True Church.

From time to time the Protestant
Episcopal church in America claims to
be the Catholic church, or a branch of
the Catholic church of England, which
also occasionally claims to be a branch
of the Catholic church.
That the P. E. church is neither the
Catholic church nor branch of it was
unintentionally proved in open court
in Chicago during the week,
The Rev. DR.. Kemp. Protestant EptS-
copal minister. on trial charged with d
heinous crime and shameless sin, sud
denly rose, and to the amazement of
the court the establishment of a num-
Der of other ministers of his faith and
the confusion of all right thinking
men. deliberately revealed a confession
made to him by penitent youth.
Under no circumstances would any
Catholic priest have been guilty of such
infamy. Rather than do so, any priest
would suffer his tongue 10 be torn out,
his hands to be cut off and his body
burned at the stake. Priests cheerful
ly have gone to martyrdom before now
rather than reveal the secrets of the
confessional. In the state of Kentucky
some years ago Father Lambert Young
spent months in Jail rather than ViO-
late the sacred tribunal. No wonder
the chicago prosecuting attorney NdS
shocked and astounded. He declared
Ms the first instance of the kind that
had ever occurred in a Chicago court.
Probably it is the first time the like
has ever occurred in an American
court To put it mildly, it is mOrufying
to reflect that the lips of a minister
protesting Christianity should have
done such a shameless thing.
Hitherto the New World has had
nothing to say of the Kemp case, or of
it's predecessor. which involved similar
charges against another Protestant
Episcopal minister st. Paul says there
are some things which should not even
be mentioned among Christians. How
ever, the sacrilege of revealing the Sc
crets of the confessional is entirely too
shocking to be passed over. Whatever
the court may determine with regard
to Rev. DR.. Kemp is not our concern.
That man already has written himself
down unworthy to wear a clerical garb.
He ought to be ashamed of himself
since he most certainly has shamed hu-
mainly If he were a real priest he
would not be guilty of such thing
