A Jesuit pIscoverer.

1t was Jesuit missionary, Father
Mancel de Esperanca, who discovered
the rubber tree. He found it while on
one of his apostolic journeys among
the Cambebas Indians of South Ameri-
ca, and gave it the singular name of
the seringueira, because he remarked
that the savages used the sap of this
tree, which hardens quickly, to make
rude bottles that were shaped like a
syringe.
A rubber-seekers camp is still
called scringal, and the workers are
known as seringueiros.
The name caoutchouc was given to
this product by La Condamie a
French astronomer, who visited South
America. In an account of his trav-
els before the Paris Academy of Sci
ence he said: ",The Indians of the
Amazon give the name of cahutchu to
a white sap drawn from the hyeve
tree" The best caoutchouc (rubber)
is obtained in the vicinity of Para,
Brazil

A Famous Miracle.

Another of the standing miracles Of
the Church is the nquefaction of the
blood of st. Januarius. This takes
place as a rule several times every
year. whenever the head of the saint
is brought close to a phial containing
his blood. Even Catholics are some
times prone to think that the Church
should not countenance this. All that
is necessary, however, if one wants to
have ones faith revived in this marvel,
is to study the history of 1t and of the
examinations and Investigations that
have been made.
In his volume, the "Myster of Ma
pies" Father Edward P, Graham, of
Sandusky, Ohio, has collected all that
is known about ST. Januarius and the
miracle that still continues to happen
with regard to his remains. 1t Is a
simple, straightforward account with
aIl the documents in the matter con-
suited and every possible source OF evil
dence and criticism brought together
The book is most convincing. 1t is
written with taking candor and evil
IDENTIFY with the simple idea of pre-
senting the data and not of making
case. Our people need to read more
such books, for they make it very clear
that the old days of faith and the older
generations were not so foolish nor
nearly so credulouS as we are prone to
think them. The modernistic view is
all very well, but the collection of the
evidence makes it clear that all of his
tory would have to be seriously doubted
if the incidents in connection with the
continuance of the mystery of Naples
are to be considered as impossible of
belief. Books like this do much more
to counteract so-called modernistic no.

ETIQUETTE of Letters.

Eighty years ago the etiquette Of let
tiers was far more rigid than now. Even
The twopenny post was not considered
good enough for correspondence ad-
dressed to persons of any standing. N
Aer "Reminiscences of an Octogenar-
ian Miss Louisa Packe tells us that
when her father had occasion to write
10 Londoners in his own class Of life the
letter was always conveyed by a serv-
ant not for any reasons of urgency, but

Inventor of EnxeIones.

1t is somewhat curious that such a
simple contrivance as the envelope
should be comparatively modern in
vention.
AS a matter of fact, it is just 100
years since paper manufacturer of
Brighton, named Brewes, invented en-
yelopes for letters in their present
form. Even then it was some consid-
cradle time before their use became
at all general, not in fact, until some
where about the year 1850.
Before this date (as many who are
IVlng now will remember) a letter
written only on one side, was folded
In two, then in three, sealed with a
wafer or sealing wax, and addressed

Prosperous BELGIUM.

The prosperity of Belgium is an ex-
ample of how small countries can thrive
without the aid of Dreadnoughts or
large armies. Belgium has 600 persons
to the square mile. 1t exports amount
to e131, 10000. Its imports, 9SO8, 632, OUU.
Its transit trade averages e110,000OOO
per annum. Taking the value of it's
commerce in proportion to its size, Bel
GUM holds the first place in the world.
1t is called "the garden of Europe"
Every economist from Mill down has
lavished praises of the highest on Bel
GUM and its farmers. Within recent
years Ulster has sent men over to Bel
GUM to learn how to properly treat
the fax crop. While England only sup
ports half her people, Belgium supplies
nine-tenths of the people with the pro-
duce of the land and exports surplus

A Feeling to be Nurtured.

AS from studying a great picture we
may feel the soul expressed, or in
hearing a great symphony we may feel
the spirit which inspired it, so in the
contemplation of nature we may feel
the spirit which moves it and of which
1t is an expression. In children this is
a mere feeling, but later it becomes a
conscious realization; and when this
consciousness begins to develop in the
little ones, let us nurture it very ten

A Coincidence.

1t is rather a strang coincidence that
when France suffered from a similar
flood, about 1902, the state authorities
had opposed the Church. Then came
the CoRcordat. Now France is warning
against the Church and confiscating her
property. God rules. France loses much
more from the flood than she gained
by robbing the Church. This coinci-
dence may be pooh-poohed, but will
not many declare that the flood, in its
destruction, in the general inundation,
in its unexpectedness after the lapse of
a century, has in it something of a
visitation and a punishment? Paris, in
it's wiekedness, is not unlike to the cities
of the plain that were destroyed in the
time Of Abraham for their denominations.

Some Catholics spent a negative Lent
They examine the Lenten regulations
to find out what notifications they are
exempt from, and they just barely sue
coed in getting through the Lenten sea-

Lenten rules. But the generous-hearted
loyal Catholic is not satisfied with be-
ing mere negation. He not only re-
trains from what is unlawful, but he
seeks and finds occasions to do many

punctuality and lack of conscientious
interest are not, one generally considers,
matters of life and death. But they
constantly defeat one career after an
other-careers that otherwise have had
no adversaries to meet. Blindness to
opportunity, carelessness in details,
want of economy, q weak eonceit or
petty obstinacy-these are the deadly
enemies of success, small but fatal. No
lions in the way-only antagonists too
small to notice; and yet the ruin is just
as great. Anyone experienced in the
business world knows all this, and
knows that. the beginner needs, above
all, to look to the small Things.

SO there is.yery little dependence to be

God keeps His word; the devil does not
keep his; there is the difference be-

God has magnified His word above
all His name, and we must take our
choice whether we will keep our word
as the Lord keeps His, or break our
word as the devil breaks his. If we
are valiant for the truth, we shall
stand at last with the God of truth. If
we love lies or make lies, or do not re-
gard our word, we know with whom
we shall fall by and by.
