THE OK CART OF CEYLoN.

In Ceylon an ox-cart .equipage com
prises not only the oxen, the cart and
the driver. but a heavy pole or shaft
that, from time immem orial, has
served the driver for seat. When
perched thus, behind the animals, he
leaves to the oxen the responsibility
of choosing their own path. This is
now considered unsafe in city streets
congested by traffic, and where cleo
trio cars and automobiles are con-
stantly whizzing to and fro.
In Colombo, therefore, the govern
ment recently issued an order forbid
ding the carriers to drive ox-carts
while seated on the pole. They We're
required instead to walk beside the
animals and guide them.
There was a general protest on the
part of the carriers, who defied the
police and were, in turn, arrested by
these officers of the law. They
would continue to ride they said,
they would never trudge along be-
side their beasts of burden"
In the end they carried their
point.

FAITHFULLY.

Let us do our part. my brothers,
In the work that nearest lies
Let US fill each day with effort
In the present as it flies;
If it is our part to labor
Though distasteful work may be,
Let US lift life's heavy burdens
And let's do it cheerfully.
Labor that is known as worship
Is the honest sort and true,
In whatever fate assigns us
There our best work we must do:
You and l may both be certain
If we tell it truthfully-.
That the Lord was not mistaken
In the work cut out for me-
So let's do our part, my brothers,
Of the worlds work if we may
Blest to be accounted worthy
In the struggle day by day;
Glad to stand among earths toilers
When from all its care set free.
Happy with an easy conscience
{ That we labored faithfully.

year. Her last wish was that he
should have mass said for the repose
of her soul, and on the first anniver-

pious request, himself assisting at the

That phases of the unideal have
been common before, even when the
Catholicity of France was at its high
est, is not an argument in excuse of
the present condition of affairs
In those phases, the occasional adj
vent of the immoral and unideal in lit
erature or art was noted more by its
isolation than from the value of what
it brought forth, or by what it added
to the sum of attainment
The old literature and old art still
continued to flourish. nevertheless. But
at the present moment except in
frankly Catholic works and periodicals,
it is useless to look for a sign of the
existence of q religious spirit.
Everything is either unideally ma
terial, or actually gross and indecent,
and the writer is at a loss to attribute
to any other cause than to the fact
that religion is being forced out of the
minds, and therefore, out of the souls
of men.

DECAY OF THE IDEAL IN FRANCE

Even the late Professor Huxley once
/ stated in a lecture to workingmen. in
his tour in the south of England, that
! if religion did not exist, the man who
| should invent it would prove a bene-
! factor to the human race. For. the
late professor went on to say, without
religious influences in education. it was
| impossible to keep from falling into
materialism meant to sacrifice the
| higher ideals and aspirations
! This is about the gist of the article
of G. Lengagne, in lie Correspondent
! (Paris). who deplores the extent to
which the ideal is disappearing from
the common life of France of today.
In Art, Literature. in Conversation,
even in those social manners and
graces for which French men and
women have so long and so self-com-
placently prided themselves. there is
apparent growing tendency to be
practical and to leave out everything
in thought and action that does not
subserye an immediate and profitable
end
In so prolific field as literature.
for example Che says). where are the
splendid ideals of our great littera-
tours of the past who looked for the
principles of their idealism in an es-
tablished and permanent standard,
namely, in the teachings derived from
an education that had been primarily
inspired by faith in all that was most
sublimely ideal.
Such ideals are not to be found. he
says and for the reason that the well
of faith has dried uu and men fail
back on the dross of modern material
ism to find whatever beauties and
ideals they can.
Naturally. the problem of the mod
ern novel takes its cue from the ten
denotes of modern scientific and philo-
sophie thought and speculation. Sci
ence is seeking to show that all is
material, that matter in various COM
binations originated the universe. The
modern inventor of novels. or of dra-
matte works. seeks to show that the
higher qualities Of the heart such as
love. charity and piety are derived
from a material bent or inclination
that decides for q man or woman in
all their actions.
Mind Cthe argument goes) is a form
of atomic activity; accordingly all
symptoms of love or charity or piety
are either expressions of diseased
atomic structure, and are deviations
from the natural propensity Of the
human body which is to advance, to
acquire. to conquer. and by no means
to have charity for weakness or piety
for anything or anybody. or any love
but self-love-which is. of course, the
kind of pragmatism we are becoming
used to.
In default of ideals. SAYS the wri-
ter. men are seeking to idealize what
is most gross in our type.
The sexual problem. both in litera-
ture and on the stage. was never more
blatant or more rampant. and if the

rary social life in France be all true |

LIFE OF a oNE-DoLIAR BILL.

1t is matter of record in the
treasury department that the life of
the one-dollar and two-dollar bills is
becoming shorter each year. A bill
of either of these denominations does
not remain in circulation now much
over thirteen months. At one time
the life of small bill was about two
and half years. This has been grad
ually reduced, and the ragged and
dirty money that comes into the treas
ury now for destruction is seldom over
two years old. The new money-wasf-
