AWORTHY MOVEMENT.

The demonstration planned by the
Holy Name society to take place in
Washington on November next, di-
reefs attention anew to a movement
having for its sole object the inculca-
ton OF sentiments of reverence and
respect for the name Of God and the
Savior.
The Holy Name society now has a
membership of about 100000 in the
eastern part OF the United States
alone. It was founded in 1874, follow
ing a letter by Pope Gregory y, di-
recting that measures be taken to
check the use of blasphemous and
profane words by the people. The
Dominican Fathers promptly took up
the cause and advocated it's principles
with great earnestness and eloquence.
Their work resulted in the formation
Of permanent society, the growth of
which has been much accelerated

THRIFTY CUSTOMS.

A peculiar custom among the Wafi-
pa young men, East Africa, is the
practice of going around from cabin
to cabin. in their native village and
the neighboring settlements, asking
for wedding presents or funds to as
sit them in defraying the expenses of
the marriage feast. All the friends
and neighbors take this tax in good
part however, and, as the prospective
bridegroom goes singing from door to
door, every householder willingly be-
slows upon him a little gift. Some
times it consists of few pearls; again
ii is an arrow, a dart, or perhaps a
utensil for the future house.
In the marriage contract where a
payment is made, the sum must be
commensurate to the beauty, strength
and virtues of the bride, and generally
consists of presents to her father,
mother and relatives. Frequently, the
value of these offerings does not ex-
coed five dollars. If the bride after
wards misbehaves to such an extent
that the husband is justified accord
ing to the Wappa ideas. in divorcing
her these presents. or the equivalent,
must be returned.-Monitor

BoER INToLERANCE.

The ''Nryheid Herald" of August u
brings us an account Of a display of
intolerance in Natal so extraordinary
that it is difficult to imagine how
men having any sense of fair play
could be parties to it. In an account
of a meeting of the Vryheid School
Advisory Committee we read: "A
long discussion took place on the adj
visibility or otherwise of employing
Catholic teachers in the school: after
which Mr.. Brecher moved the follow
ing resolution: That this committee
deems 1t undesirable that a teacher
shall be appointed at the Vryhefd
government school belonging to any
other but a Protestant denomination
and that teachers of the Protestant
faith only be appointed Two gentle
men, with English names. Messrs.
Adamson and Davey, voted against the
resolution, but it was carried by the
votes OF the Boer members of the
committee, one of whom is a Dutch
Reformed minister Mr. Brecher was
at the time one of the candidates for
the Union Parliament We can easily
form conception of what Catholics
in Natal have to endure at the hands
of bigots such as these. The resolu-
ton was forwarded to the government
but nothing has been done to cancel
the committees act Of injustice. 1t is
to be hoped that the Catholics by
adopting the policy of passive resis-
lance, will make it clear that they are
determined to fight resolutely against
the unfair treatment TO which they
are ubjected.-Catholic Time and

A FAMILY OF TwENTY-THREE.

In arranging for the passage of a
brother from Vienna to this country,
Miss Marie Tufer of New York, re-
veaied the interesting fact that this
will be the twenty-first brother she
has brought to he United States in
six years.
She was the first to venture to
America, and settling in New York
soon obtained employment and pros
pered. Her glowing accounts of the
promised land quickly influenced her
brothers. who began to follow her one
by one. Miss Tufer has acted
throughout as the American banker
for the family. and as each brother
made UP his mind to emigrate he
would send the money for his passage
to the sister. who made all necessary
arrangements.
The girl has the work thoroughly
systematized. When a new brother
arrives he applies to the German I'm
migrant society, and as a result all
of the 20 brothers are now profitably
employed in and about New York.
Only the father and mother and one
daughter are left on the old home,
lust outside of Vienna.

WHEN WE GO TO MASS.

The church commands us to attend
mass every Sunday. We should at
tend mass because we owe everything
we have to God: because we have
sinned and we wish through Jesus
Christ to be forgiven and to sin no
more. When we go to mass we
should think of what mass is. Do
not think of business; of your family:
of your friends; of who is at mass
besides yourself; of what you have
just read in the paper.
What would you do if you were on
the hill Of Calvary and saw Jesus
dying for you; the wounds of His
hands and feet; the thorns in His
head; the whole body covered with
blood and torn with pain; the loving
eyes looking in their last gaze upon
YOU: the white lips asking God the
Father to forgive you? What you
would do then, do now at the mass.
for when you are at mass Jesus is
asking for your love.
When you go to mass. put before
your mind Jesus. the loving Jesus on
the altar; tell Him that you are sorry
that you ever sinned against Him !:
tell Him that you will never sin
again: that you will avoid those with
whom you sin and the places where
you sin.
Ask Him to bless you and to bless
all who belong to you: ask Him to
help you in all you need; thank Him
for all that He has done for you: and
then tell Him that you love Him with
your heart and your soul and your
mind, and that you will never permit
sin to tear your heart away from His.
Pray in this way at mass and do
not mind what anybody else Is doing;
pray as If you and God were alone in
the church. Do not talk to others.

MIRACLE OF ST. JANUARIUs.

This year the miraculous liquefac-
ton of the blood of st. Januarious,
Bishop and martyr, has had a special
significance for the people of Naples,
on account of the apprehension of
cholera in that city. AS the fact that

the miracle takes place. As matter
of fact, on the few occasions on which
the blood of the patron of Naples did
not liquefy disaster overshadowed the
city for the ensuing year.

faithful were in the cathedral when

Has mounted to the highest heaven
And sent His Spirit down:

May they, like thine, to triumph lead!
May labor earn repose,
And may life's sorrows and Iife's lows
In heavenly glory close.

DOMESTIC GIRL Is HAPPY.

The girl whose sphere is set in do
mesticity can find as keen a satisfac-
ton in doing her work to the very best
of her ability as can her sister who
achieves college honors or fame in
the literary world. Indeed. there is
something peculiarly satisfying and
fine and healthy about work with the
hands. because, for one thing, it is
generally service for others.
Again, the great mass of women
must inevitably find their scope in do
nestle life, and every girl, whatever
her social position may be, would be
the better for two years thorough
training in housewifery, says the Phil
adelphia Inquirer Therefore. if you
are going through your hopeless
phase try good honest homework as
an antidote. Work hard with your
hands and at the same time cultivate
cheerful spirit and an interested
habit of mind.
