In certain mountain regions In
North Carolina the cost OF living has
not increased, probably because the in.
habitants' chief article Of diet is clay.

a part Of their daily food, and they
are apparently as happy and contented
as the majority of mankind. The only

the peculiar color 1t gives the skin OF
the person addicted to 1t. The skin DE-

later 1t takes a peculiar yellow. a color
closely resembling some the clay
eaten.
The clay is usually Of a dirty white
color, but Is sometimes a pale yellow.

these people declare they can subsist

Pie and the Lumberjack.

says a Duluth employment agent. "The

Of fare Is pie. While this Is not the

ease in New England. The pastry de-
sire comes in the form Of an educa-
ton to them. It's pie three times
daily and for the pie hater II means
starvation, so they learn to simply
crave 1t.
"Pie does not cost much when It
comes to a choice between that and
beef, and 1t fills up mighty gaps with
q hurriedness. In other words, It cuts
down expenses. So the lumberjack
likes pie because he has to.
THE difference between butter and
butterine is also an unknown quantity
In camp. The inc Is Of little conse-
quence to the Jack who fathers his

Why He Wouldn't Shoot,

deputation of three soldiers once
came to the late Dr. Lueger to make
some kind of a request in their behalf.
The burgomaster of Vienna turned to
one OF the soldiers with tho following
inquiry: What would you do II the
Kaiser commanded you to shoot the
burgOmaster?"
"I would shoot him." said the soldier
"So!" exclaimed DR.. Lucger "and
what is your reliEion?"
IT am a Protestant"
DR.. Lueger spoke to the second SOL
dier.
What would you do II the Kaiser
commanded you to shoot the burgo-
master?"
"rhen l would shoot him." said the
soldier.
"And what is your religion?'
"I am a Catholic"
The burgomaster turned to the third
soldier.
would you have shot me if the
Kaiser commanded you to do so?"
NO" said the soldier.
"And what is your religion?"
Il am A. jew" he answered.
What" exclaimed the burgomas-

The Pessimist.

On Monday he told me the wheat
was suffering for rain. and that If
rain didn't come inside of week or
ten days there would be no wheat at
all.
"Will rain inside of the next few
days make good wheat crop?" we
asked.
"1f we get good rain inside Of a
week We'll have bully wheat crop
was his reply.
The next day we had soaking rain
and a couple Of days thereafter met
him again.
"How is the wheat?" I asked.
bad; awful bad" he said shaking
his head mournfully. "Just as thnge
began looking fine along comes this
rain and makes the ground too wet for
anything to grow in.''

we abandon sin and it's approximate
occasion. We know from our expert
encs the falsehood of the statement
that confession is a license to commit
sin because we know that not only Is
there no license to commit sin, but
there must be an absolute determine
tion to avoid sin II We would reoeive
the sacrament worthily. We know also
the absolute falsehood Of the charge
that money ia paid for the forgiveness
of sin. Our life has been spent In the
practice OF confession, and we know
that the penalty exacted from us In
the abandonment Of sin. the determine
tion to avoid its occasions and sincere
sorrow for having ever violated the
commandments OF God.
No doctrine Of the Church has been
more bitterly malignsd or moro shame
fully misrepresented than that Of con-
fcssion. and yet we know as Catholics
the comfort 1t has been to us and the
spiritual benefit It has been to our
moral nature. We nave experienced
the reconciliation which comes to us
by the Blood Of Christ poured into the
souls by the sacrament of penance. We
know the joy that has come into tho
sinful life by the realization that by
this act Of confession, pardon and for
giveness have been bestowed upon hui
fed, hearts heavy with tho burden OF
sin have found refreshment and peace,
hope has come to those in despair and
the love OF God has come into hearts
that were filled with the wickedness of
sin. The blessings received far out
weigh the humiliation. The tribunal
OF penance is the mercy seat OF God.
1t is the pool of Bethsaida, In which
sinners are cleansed from their sins:
it Is the touch of the priestly hand
declaring the leprosy and cleansing
from 1t; it la the power Of God be-

God many may be restored to his in
heritance and all things may he recon-
ciled to Christ. The happiness Of life
is in the certainty that when the min
lister Of reconciliation sent by Christ
says to the repentant sinner Go ir
peace, thy sins are forgiven thee" the
great God ratifies the act Of His min
lister and sinful man is reconcilcd to
God.

Ode on Edwards Death.

What darkness deep as wintry gloom
O'ershadows joyous spring?
In vain the vernal orchards bloom,
Vainly the woodlands sing.
Round royal shroud
A mournful crowd
Is all now left of one but yesterday
king.
Thrones have there been Of hateful
fame,
Reared upon wanton war;
He we have lost still linked his name
With peace at home, afar.
For peace he wrought;
His constant thought
Being to shield his realm against
strife's baleful star.
So let us pow all seek to rest
From fatcful feuds release,
And mindful of his wise bequest,
From faction, clamors cease;
Treadng the path he trod,
The sacred truths Of God
The path that points and leads tc
patriotic peace.
Alfred Austin.

ways employ in their teaching a Ian
guage understood by all. They speak
when needed in the most obscure and
barbarous dialects, in order that the
Word Of God may reach the under
standing of all.
The Catholic Church speaks not
only the particular distinctive Lam
guage of each land and tribe when
instructing the people, but has also
special Catholic language, that her
pastors belonging to every nation may
readily communicate with each other,
that they may minister together at the
altar, and that her laity, of whatever
tongue, may not, when in a foreign
land, feel strange in the house OF God,
but be at home in any Catholic place
of worship in any part of the world.
In this way the Church unites in
one universal tongue to implore the
mercy and sing the praises of God.
This beautiful and sublime harmony
of nations of one faith, with one voice,
in the one fold Of the one Shepherd,
is worthy of the Church of Christ and
of the unity which is her grand char
acteristic.
The mass is a sacrifice offered di-
rectly to God, and it is not necessary
for the people to follow in Latin the
words of the priest. When the Cath
olic priest stands at the altar of the
service, all understand; and take an
intelligent part in his ministration, a
fact which reminds one of the preach
ing of the apostles on the Day of Pen
tecost. when all from every nation
heard st. Peter, each in his own
! tongue. (Acts ii. g.
The Church speaks Latin therefore
not only because she is apostolic, un-
changeable and catholic, but also be
cause she is one.
Change of language in the liturgy
would seem to break the link with
the past, and raise some suspicion of
innovation in. what is expressed in the
liturgy; while having retained the
same ancient language indicates that
| the Church which. ce.stinuea to use it
is the very same as Of old, and that
she has not changed in any essentia
matter, having been so careful as not
to change even her language, which
! compared With doctrine, is of much
less Importance.
| 1t Is fairly presumed that the
Church which possesses the language
of antiquity on her side; that beina
the inheritor Of the language, she is
also the inheritor Of the ancient faith
The fact Of her still using the Latin
language makes us feel 1.-The more sure
that the Catholic Church is the one
old, Interchangeable Church of God!
