THE OTHER PERSONS WAY.

1t is a funny thing that most peo-
pie at times are filled with strong
conviction that the rest of the world
are all wrong and that they alone are
right. Most of us are apt to be hard
on people who don't do just what we
think they ought to do, forgetting that
every person is born different. grows
up different, and probably remains
different all through life.
1t is easy to critise, but we must
not forget that to other people we
may be making almost as great a
mess-in a different way, perhaps-of
our own lives. So, instead of talking
over other peoples strayings from
the path and expecting them to do
impossibilities, it would surely be bet
ter to try to appreciate our friends
as they are and believe the rightness
of their motives, however things may
go aWrV

MISSING SUNDAY MASS.

Missing Mass on Sunday is the pa
rent sin. 1t is the cause of causes
when there is a question of Catholic
detection. Human respect. scandal,
mixed marriages, secret societies, be d
literature, and evil associations have
slain their thousands; Mass missing
has slain its tens of thousands.
1t has filled the cities and towns in
America with an army of bad Catho-
lies. who constitute so large per-
centage of our population. 1t has dec

lyzed the influence of the Church in

many European countries, and by
breeding general indifference it has

EMPEROR FRANCIS

Emepror Francis Joseph of Austria
was so years old on Thursday. He
has ruled his people for sixty-two
years.
Francis Joseph 1, emperor of Aus
tria and king of Hungary, was born
August Is, 1880, as the eldest son of
the Archduke Francis Charles and
Princess Sophie of Bavaria. His early
education was under the control of
his mother, Count Coronini and Count
Henry BOmbelles. From his earliest
youth he has been a devout and con-
sistent Catholic
Francis Joseph is noted for his ex-
cellent memory and linguistic ability,
both of which faculties were cult
waited to high degree under the tute-
lage of Cardinal Rauscher The vast
experience that life of so years can
give has strengthened his character
and his judgment.
The future emperor was declared of
age in 184S. On the I'd of September
Of that year, after the abdication of
Emperor Ferdinand and after his
brother, Archduke Francis Charles,
had given up his rights to the success
sion, Francis Joseph became emperor
of Austria. The same year brought
the revolution in Hungary.
The Catholic education of Emperor
Francis Joseph chiefly displayed itself
in 1855, when he signed the famous
Concordat with the Pope. 1859-1S66
brought unlucky wars abroad, but
peace in the interior with Hungary,
and on the 8th of June, 1867, Francis
Joseph was at last crowned king of
Hungary in Budapest
One of the most remarkable events
of his reign was the signing of the
triple alliance in 1879, the promoter
of which was a Hungarian, Count An
Grassy. This triple alliance between
Austria Hungary. Germany and Italy
is still in existence and is one of the
strongest bulwarks of peace in the
world. One year before, 1878, Bosia
and Herzegovina had been occupied.
The Austrian emperor has had
many misfortunes in his private life,
his wife. the Empress and Queen Eli
zabeth. having been killed in Geneva,
while the tragedy of the death of his
son, the Criwn Prince Rudolf, at May
erling, remains one of the unsolved
mysteries of history. He has always
entertained warm friendship with the
United States and American people,
as was seen on the occasion of the late
visit of Theodore Roosevelt. Arch
ruke Francis Ferdinand, nephew, is
successor to the throne, and while
there is nothing positively known
about his politics in general, he is
reported to be a staunch
Catholic.

DON'T CARRY DANGEROUS THING

This is a world Of danger. Acct
dents are happening every day. Many
of the misfortunes of life could be
avoided if people were more careful
about what they carry with them.
If a man were to carry about a
packet of gunpowder and some loose
matches in the same coat pocket, he
would be called criminally foolish. Yet
plenty of people carry about an I'M
comfortable temper, which is danger
ous-now, itsn't it? Gunpowder and
matches, cigarets, revolvers and dirk
knives are dangerous things to carry,
and so is bad temper. Don't allow
yourself to keep any of these things.
Keep the bad book out of your in
side coat pocket and from a hiding
place in your room. 1t is worse than

THE TELESCOPE.

The first telescope was pointed to-
ward the sky on Jan. 7, 1910, when
Calico tried his crude instrument
and was rewarded by discovering some
of the moons of Jupiter. No great
magnifying power was needed for
this, as at least one of the moons is
large enough to be seen by the naked
eye did not the nearness of the bril-
liant planet prevent this. Lenses
had been known for a long time and
were at that time in common use by
near-sighted persons
The name of the real discoverer of
the telescope seems to be unknown,
but the accepted story now is that
two young sons of a Middlebury OPP
tician named Lippersley some time
between 1905 and 1908, while playing
with some lenses happened to hold
two of them at a distance from each
other and were surprised and delight
ed to find that the weather vane on
a neighboring tower seemed to come
near them when looked at through
the two lenses. In April. 1909. a lit
tie telescope made in Holland was
offered for sale in Paris.
The next month Calico, then a
professor in the university at Padua,
heard of this instrument and realized
at once its importance in the study
of astronomy. From the description
of the Dutch instrument he had one
made at once, and in August he as
founded the people of Venice by show
ing them from the top of the cam
panile, persons entering the doors of
the church at Murano. This spyglass
was less than two inches in diameter
and magnified three times. From this
crude instrument of Calico to the
monster telescopes forty inches in di
ameter of the present day is the de-
vedopment of only three centuries.

WHEN SILENCE sGoLDEN.

"When our homes take fire" says
Dr. Cuyler, "the first impulse is to go
after a bucket of water. But if tenn
per takes the fire the first impulse is
to throw on more fuel.
Now the best bucket of water for
a reused temper is resolute silence.
If. whenever an irritating act were
done, or any injury struck us, we
should firmly seal our lips for even ten
minutes, we would save ourselves
many a quarrel, many a disgrace to
our religious profession. Speech is
often explosive and SCATTERING. ST.
lence is cooling. 1t cools us off and
cools other people. One of the calm
est men I ever knew told me that he
used to be violently passionate but he
broke his temper by resolutely brid-
ling his tongue until his anger died

encouraged spoliation and plumber on
the part of politicians, who rightly be-
lieve that they have nothing to fear
from people who do not think enough
of their religion to turn out to Mass
on Sunday.
1t has scandalized believer and un-
believer alike, and supplied an addi-
tional argument in support of the per
nicious doctrine that one religion is
as good as another. 1t has ever been
the first step in the downward road
that leads to the loss of faith, apostacy
and irreligion; in short. it is the
basic weakness, the parent sin, at
whose door almost every form of
present-day Catholic detection can

CORN FOR Illuminating.

The cork oak grows plentifully in
Spain. and the peasants make use of
the bark to light their houses at
night The bark is placed in a BEETLE,
from which protrudes spout, and
when it is hot enough it gives out a
gas which burns with considerable
brilliancy.
If the family sit up late, several
kettles of cork bark are used during
an evening; but the lighting is not
expensive, and the peasant is care
full to save the carbonized cork refuse,
for he can sell it, as it is known COM
mercially as Spanish black" one of

CURIOUS TOMBSTONE.

On a gravestone in the parish
churchyard of Great Yarmouth, Eng
land, there is sculptured the unusual
representation of a clown seated in q
tub, which is being drawn down a
river by two swans. Beneath this stone
lies one of the many victims who were
drowned years ago by the collapse of
an iron suspension bridge on which
they had crowded to see a clown pass
underneath in the matter described.
The feat, which was a novel form of
advertisement by a travelling circus,
was actually performed, but the rush
of people from one side of the bridge
to the other after the man had passed
under caused the tragic ending.

THE ROAD TO YOUTH.

Since 1 resolved to look for joys
In all created things,
To turn my back on what annoys,
And hush all murmurings;
To look upon my neighbor as
A man who means me well,
And let the cloud that lowers pass
All needless of its spell;
To thrust from out my heart and
mind
All evil thoughts, and mean,
And everywhere 1 glance to find
Some beauty in the scene.
L find that though my days increase
My years diminish. Truth
To tell, the method brings me peace,
And holds me close to youth

THE HAND THAT SMITES."

They say this world is round, and yet
l often think it square;
So many little hurts we get
From corners here and there.
But one great truth in life I've found,
While journeying to the west
The only folks who really wound
Are those we love the best.
Love does not grow on every tree,
Nor true hearts yearly bloom;
Alas. for those who only see
This truth across the tomb!
But soon or late. the fact grows plain
To all, through Sorrows test,
The only folks that give us pain
Are those we love the best!

RARE FIND ON THAMES.

A Roman boat more than 1900
years old has been found on the south
side of the River Thames. 1t was url-
covered by workmen while eXcayating
for the new county hall, and is the
first genuine Roman boat ever dis
covered in Britain, it is said. Some
years ago a clinker built boat of King
Alfred's time was unearthed at VOL
thamstow. Viking craft have been
found in various parts of the king
dom.
Archaeologists are aroused over the
Roman boat. and the local govern
ment committee of the London county
council will house the precious craft
temporarily near the Horniman mu-
scum, in a building of the Dutch
barn type. Ultimately it will be
housed in a 81 tie near the new county
hall.
The new boat, which is of oak, is
about fifty feet long and sixteen wide.
Several articles were found in the yes
sci, including some shreds of Roman
pottery, bones, iron nails, glass gam
in buttons, iron studded soles of
shoes, a coin of Tetricus in Gaul, of
the period 26S-273 A. D.; coin of
Carausius in Britain, which is said by
the keeper of coins in the British Mu-
scum to be of the date 200 or 291
A. D.. and a coin of Allectus in Brit
ain, of the era 293-296 A D. The boat

questions pertaining to the issuance of
