1t is a very common fault for young
women to fall into the habit of fritter-
ing away their time without knowing
where it goes; their intentions are the
best and they plan to do a great many
things; but somehow they always fail
in the accomplishments friend
drops in or they ask to go some place,
and they simply cannot refuse. Yet,
if a girl is to do any serious work,
she must refuse sometimes and have
few hours day to herself There
are few things more demoralizinS
than continual going, especially when
II Is without a purpose, and there are
so many temptations for the city girl
to fall into the habit. 1t is natural
and right that she should enjoy more
or less freedom if her parents are able
to care for her. She has been con-
fined for a good many years in the
schoolroom and she will have cares
enough later should she marry; but
she should guard against all play and
no work
Even in the household where there
are several servants, the daughter can
find many little tasks which no one
can do quite SO we'll as she, and it
should be her greatest delight to lift
the burden from the shoulders of her
mother What a comfort to the latter
to know that in illness or absence
there is a capable hand at the helm of
the household, and that things Will
go on much the same as If she herself
were directing them. The young wo-
man will gain more than she gives in
the pleasure and satisfaction of being
useful, and then what a boon and
blessing the knowledge and experience
will be to her should she assume the
responsibility of home of her own.
How many heartaches and Notifying
mistakes and perhaps even quarrels
it will save her, for how can the poor
little bride be sweet and pleasant
when she aWakens some morning to
the sad reality that the cook is gone
and she burns her fingers and the
food likewise and makes a horrible
blunder of her first breakfast? And
it is scarcely sufficient for a young
woman to arm herself with cookery
books and turn her steps toward the
cooking school after she is engaged.
There are so many things in the mali
agement of a household that only time
and experience will teach.
1t is excellent training for the
daughter to buy the supplies and or
der the meals. In this way she will
learn how much is required to keep
up table, etc, the value of different
articles of food. what can be best pur-
chased in quantities and many other
things that may save her future hus-
band from financial ruin.-Southern

SACRED TO sCoTTIsH CATHOLICS

One Of the most affecting spots in
Scotland to a Catholics is the old
seminary of Scalan, in Banffshire.
Here in the trying days of the eight
eenth century the lamp of faith was
kept burning, and amidst innumer-
able trials and difficulties, young
men were trained for the priesthood
and fostered in that spirit of forti-
tude and self-sacrifice so necessary
to the proper fulfilment of their yo-
cations The idea of a seminary was
first preached in 1913 by Bishops
Nicolson and Gordon, and its first
establishment was an island in Lock
Moran. The disturbances in the
country caused by the rising of IT'S
brought about the dissolution of the
infant seminary, however, and re-es-
adjustment was not attempted till
a year or two after, when Scalan
was fixed upon as a suitable place in
which the project might be prudent
ly resumed. The property was stu
ated upon the estate of the Duke of
Gordon, who, being a Catholic, was
anxious to further the good work.
1t was his influence that made the
establishment possible, and while he
lived the seminary never wanted
friend
From this time on until the close
of the century Scalan enjoyed a prac-
tically continuous existence and had
an important influence upon the for
tunes of the reviYing Church in
Scotland. Although laid in ashes by
order of Butcher" Cumberland aft
er the disastrous defeat of the clans
at Culoden, its work was only tenn
porarily interrupted and it continued
to be the center of Catholic life in
the Highlands for more than fifty
years. In 1899. for economic rea-
sons, the college was removed to
Asuhorities by Bishop Hay. 1t is
now little more than a memory, yet
within its sacred walls were trained
some of the most capable and palms.

CORRECT TIME IN EGYPT.

The working of the oriental mind
was delightfully."- illustrated in a story
which Professor Turner told the
Mathematical association. He had
been spending the Christmas vacation
in Egypt to supervise the erection of
telescope at Helonan. Captain
Lyons, who was in charge of the in
strument, said that he had found that
at noon every day a gun was fired
and was anxious to know how the sys-
tenn worked. Accordingly he inter-
viewed the gunner and asked how
he knew when to fire the signal "Oh,
l look at my watch said the Of
fetal. and how do you correct your
watch?" asked the captain. 81 take it
to the maker in Cairo and he tells me
the error" Forthwith Captain Lyons
interviewed the matchmaker and ask
ed him how he checked the error of
the watch. Il get the correct time
from the gun" said that simple
craftsman. And thus time was told

that some of their descendants may
fall away from the church? Are they
entirely certain that their children
may not drift into non churchgoers-

CATHOLIC CHURCH WAS FIRsr


Contradicting published state
ment that that the Marble Collegiate
church of New York was the first
church founded in America, and that
it dates from 1926, Leslie's Weekly
says: America in this case includes
Mexico and the southern continent.
This, however, is not true. Cathed-
rails were built and dioceses were es-
tablished in South America as early
as 1926 The diocese of Santo Do
mingo was founded in 1894, and has
had a regular succession of Bishops
ever since. In the United States there
were churches in Florida and New
Mexico long before 1900. The Marble
Collegiate church is undoubtedly the
oldest church in New York. The col
legiate sect is e-eminently a Dutch
one. The earliest settlers in New
York founded this church"

TRIBUTE TO CATmoLIC SISTERS.

In the address to the large, dfstin-
guished audience assembled to greet
him at Nazareth academy, Kalamazoo,
on May Is. Vice President Sherman
made the following statement: "To
me, the Catholic Sisterhood seems to
be one of the strongest proofs of the
existence of a hereafter. [ speak, not
as member of the Catholic church,
or sectarian, or a member of any
religious belief. These noble women
have given up all that they have in
this world, their wealth, their homes,
their hearts, their lives and have de-
voted all their energies and entire at
tention to the rearing of others chill
dren, to the guiding of youths, and
to the turning of mature minds to
loftfer sentiments with no hope what
ever of any reward, except that which
they hope for in the great beyond.
There Is no more potent demonstra-
ton of the existence of God than the
work of the Sisters. All praise, all
honor to the great army Of Catholic
Sisterhoods."

MODERN LIFE.

And this were life, the modern life
you praise,
This weary, restless, joyless, dumb
array
OF quivering nerves beneath wild pas
sion's sway,
And hearts long dead to hope of bet
ter days!
All, this were life! To grasp the lat
est craze
With palsied hand, and hold it for
day,
Sucking with poisoned lips each foul
decay,
Whilst seeking some new sin with
feverish gaze!
No. Life is health and strength and
purity
And noble love springing from faith
divine,
And bright-eyed hope, fresh as the
morning breath;
But, modern life, behold those hearts
of thine
In sunless depths of fostering passion
lie,
Preying on life to breed the germs
of death.

A CoNsCRIPT CONGREGATION.
How Protestant Clergyman Mas
Assisted in Ireland
(From the New York Times.

CFrom the New York Times.)
T. p. O'Connor during his recent
visit to this country was talking OF
the improved relations between the
English and Irish, and was pointing
out that after all the recent mani
festations of bitterness between the
two races does not date back much
further than the great famine years.
Before that trouble" he said, the
Catholic priest and the Protestant
clergyman were often very good
friends, and perhaps the priest was
little envious at the slight response
biiities that rested on the shoulders
of his colleague in the midst of an
entirely Catholic people.
In Tipperary they tell of an Eng
lish parson who had only the squire
and his servants to look after, and
managed to put in the time he could
spare from his spiritual duties very
pleasantly in the hunting field. One
day the village priest. however, saw
gloom weighing on his friend and
asked the reason.
Why the Bishop is coming next
Sunday; isn't that enough to worry
a man? I'll have fifteen people in
church to meet him, if I can get Don
aid McTavish, the squire's gardener,
from the Black North, TO O6Ilt5e Tne

raising rumpus%
Is that alp replied The priest
'Shure if that's all your trouble I'll
soon set your mind aisy'
so the Sunday following at early
mass the good man announced from
the pulpit:
" Now, my children, l give you all
a dispensation for one week. You may
all go this morning to the Protestant
chapel and hear what the heretical
Bishops got to say. You'll keep your
eyes fixed on the Montgom erys' pew,
and when they gets up you gets up,
and when they sits down you sets
down, and if the last one Of you :on't
go to help my friend in his distress
it's me you'll have to deal with
AT II o'clock the parson led MS
lordship to the church. They found
it packed to the doors. and the ou,v
trouble was when old Mrs. Montgom-
cry kept her seat through the Psalms,
and the poor Catholics didn't know
whether to sit with her or stand with
her husband.
The Bishop went on his way. and
the parson hurried to the priest.
1t was fine, he said, fine. His
Iordship declared that he had never
seen so large and well-behaved cor
gregation in all his diocese. but what
Will he be saying if he ever comes
this way again?'"

beautiful and elaborate of any exist

displayed in the intricate ornamental
ton of its pages must astonish and

good fortune to see it. Executed about
the ninth century, it was stolen from
the monastery at Kells in 1106, and
was found some days later in a bog,
