Ilalfan Anti-CIericaIs Ravc.

A special dispatch to the New York
Cur states that the anti-clericals Of
Itglv are up in arms because Italian
e7ldiers are not prohibited from at
ending Mass on Sundays.
EVERY Italian between the ages of
1S and 20 must serve time in the
army Naturally the ranks often in
clpde students for the priesthood
these are free to attend their religious
duries on Sundays and holidays, end
accordingly they take part in the
catholic services and functions. 1t
seems that some of these young SOL
djprs have been serving at Mass and
others have been noticed singing in
the choirs.
The anti-clericals protested against
such corruption of the national army
bv the enemies of Italy, the priests"
and they now demand a law prohibit
ing soldiers from attending church
functions and thus humiliating them
selves and disgracing their uniforms"
Naturally all the anti-clericaI
papers have taken the matter up. The
Giordano Bruno association, named
after the former priest, who is called
BY the Vatican an apostate, passed
resolutions which were tantamount to
an ultimatum in which they said that
unless soldiers were prevented from
going to church vigorous action would
follow.

predict that it viii come from the

not likely to be disturbed by censure

Jesuits Will Watch EARTHQUAKES.

Gonzaga College, conducted by the
Jesuit Fathers at Spokane, has com
pleted arrangements with fourteen
other Jesuit colleges throughout the
United States by which earthquake in
formation may be interchanged.
I'VE shall now get reports from al
most every quarter of the United States
by telegraph and mail" says Father
Taelman, president of the institution,
land with the records of our own seis-
mograph we expect to be able to make
conclusions in regard to the speed of
earthquake vibrations, and. perhaps,
even to estimate the violence of the
shocks. You understand that we are
not trying to predict earthquakes. That
may come later. We now simply want
to arrange data about earthquakes and
find out, by concerted action, just what
we can do about the matter.
TO facilitate the work the college
will erect an observatory to house the
seismograph and its records, the tele-
scope for astronomical work and the
meteorological instruments for weather
observations"

Traces of an Irish Saint.

1t is curious how traces of Irish saints
linger on the European continent. One
| that has often been remarked is the
name "hacre" borne by a French cab.
Why cab in the streets of Paris
should bear the name of an Irish saint
who fiourished in the sixth and seventh
centuries has often been asked, and
various answers given. This seems to
be the true reason: Saint Fiacre lived
near Breuil in France, having left his
own country, like so many of his fellow
countrymen, through zeal for his own
Sanctification and that of the people
who dwelt afar. He lived life of great
modification, and when he died his re-
mains were inferred in the church
which he had built near Breuil. Many
miracles were wrought at his tomb, so
that his fame went abroad into all the
country, and numerous churches were
dedicated to him in other parts of
France. So persistent and abiding is
his memory that people with bodily all
ments still go to his shrine at Breuil.
In the later middle ages his remains
were honored and venerated by high au-
thorities of the Church in France. But
what of the cab, the "fiacre?" How
did that come to have his name? Well
the story runs that in the middle of the
sixteenth century there was in st. Mar
tin street, Paris, hosiery known as
the Hotel de St Fiacre; it had as its
sign the image of the saint this estab-
lishment was the first to let those
coaches on hire. Quite naturally, they
came in time to be called facres, and
the name has survived to the present
day. We would not wonder if the pres
ent French government, in its zeal for
secularization, should decree that the
fiacre must have its name changed to
suit the new France which it is at
tempting to build up-a land without a
God and without saint.-Sacred Heart

Since DR.. Burchard added a new
word to politics we have hardly had a
more notable case of inept and suicidal
laundering than that which will for a
long while give distinction to the name
of the Rev. B. NJ. Triple, D. D., pastor
of the Methodist American church at
Rome.
A favorite Turkish story is of the
man who was asked to lend his donkey,
but who replied that while he would
be glad to do so he could not, as it
was in a neighboring village. Just
then, from the other side of the parti-
ton. came the bray of the ass, and the
neighbor said: why, there is the DON
key in the stable" You infidel," re-
piled the owner, ito take the word of
an ass against that of a follower Of the
prophet"
We all hoped, or believed, that the
Methodist mission in Rome was mis-
understood, and that it was engaged in
legitimate mission work for the un-
churched multitudes of Italy. Then this
DR.. Triple burst out with
this insult to the Catholic Church al it's
center, this insult to Mr.. Roosevelt, this
staggering blow to the mission which
employed him.

the authors were in the best obtain

The fastidiouS Gibbon was incapable
of behaving disreSpectfully to book.
For six weeks Beckford reveled in
his purchase and read himself nearly
blind. He soon tired of his books,
however, and presented the whole
collection to a German physician
named Schell. The recipient showed
his appreciation of the treasure by
promptly selling it.

A negro preacher, whose supply of
hominy and bacon was running low,
decided to take radical steps to i'm
press upon his flock the necessity for
contributing literally to the church
exchequer. Accordingly, at the close
of the sermon he made an impressive
pause and then proceeded as follows:

Extravaganza and Hard Times.

That the hard times have not COM
pletely disappeared is evidenced by the
fact that the United States govern
ment revenues for the fiscal year end
ing December l, 1909, decreased $2,52S,-
T67, as compared with 1908. On the
other hand, the extravaganza of the
government is shown by an increase
of expenditures to $685., 1929, 445 The ex-
penditures of the Panama canal
amount to $31, 419, 422, and exceed the
income derived from the sale of canal
bonds by $6SS, 434. The net amount ad-
vanced out of the general fund for the
canal up to December /, 1909, amounts
to $S2,S75,O74, and the disposable bal
ance in the treasury has been reduced
during the year from $245, ,54S to
$126,375. The amount of money of all
kinds in the federal treasury at the
end of the fiscal year totaled $S,4O6,-

British Elections in July.

According to the latest advices from
London there will be no general cleo
ton for at least three months. Pre-
mier Asquith announced in the house
last Thursday that the spring recess
of Parliament, which will begin on
April IS, would continue until May
26, when the House of Lords reassem-
bling will occupy the greater Fart of
a week in the debate on Lord Rose
berry's reform resolution.
Accordingly it will be impossible for
the House of Commons to take up the
veto resolutions until July and the
crucial period will not arrive until the
month is well advanced
An appeal to the country before the
middle of July is out of the question.

Time to PrnN.

The time when you are tempted not
to pray is most likely the very time
your need of prayer is greatest. If
your mind is full of cares, and your
hands are burdened with many diff
cult tasks, you cannot afford to dis
pense with the benefits which come
through prayer. You will say to your
self: My danger is much increased,
therefore L will keep close to the only
source of my help and strength" AS
long as the vital bond of your friend
ship with God remains unbroken, the
world, the flesh and the devil viii seek
in vain to sway you from your moral
steadfastness. It is only when you for
get to converse with the heart of Jesus
that you run the risk of falling away
from the firm standing ground of your
integrity

From the days of old we hear soft voices
call,
AS round us wings of unseen shadows
fall:
From fields Elysian and Arcadian
ways
Drift the old shapes of faces in the
haze;
From the days of old the echoes reach
our ears
OF far-off singing in the circling
spheres,
AS lips invisible lean to our own
With whispered memories of the shad-
owy zone;
From days of old our hearts receive
their balm;
Thither old friendships flutter, and we
feel
Their shadowy arms in love around us
steal!
No life would be long enough for us
to find out the wonders there are in
the grand mystery that God loves us.
Nothing about us is so wonderful:
neither our creation, nor our redemp-
ton, nor our Qualification. 1t is won
derful to think of all the scenes we
shall pass through at the end of the
world; yet not so wonderful as to think
that at this very moment the great
God loves us, that we have actually
each of us distinct place in the heart
of Jesus.-Father Fabe=.
