POWER OF WORD OVER MAN.

A vivid illustration of the power of
mere words over human beings was
once brought to the attention of
French people by Francisque Sarcey
After the wreck of the Bourgogne
many passengers were found floating
drowned with life preservers on.
These life preservers were fastened
upon the bodies but round the middle
instead of under the arms, and the
greater weight of the upper part of
the body had tipped the head under
water and the person of course was
Inevitably drowned.
Now it appears that the greater
number of the persons so drowned
were French. The French term for
life preservers is ceinture de sauve-
tage, or life saving belt This word
ceintu"e suggests to the mind, in its
moments of disorder and unreadiness
such as a great catastrophe brings,
the idea of putting on a belt, and, as
a belt is put round the waist and no.
where else, the frightened person in
stinctively adjusts the life preserver
close about the hips.
The result is that as soon as the
person so provided falls into the wa
ter, his body tins over, with the heav-
Ter part downward, and the head is
plunged beneath the surface.
The word belt" therefore, was the
cause of the loss of many lives in the
Rourgogne disaster. Sarcey accord
tai effect of the article, and calling it
q brassiere, which is a kind of waist
and. by bringing the word bras or
arm to mind, to teach people to put
a life preserver on just underneath
tbe arms

Spelling THE CHILDREN.

There is more than a possibility
that we are coddling our children too
much in this country. Trying to
shield them from all hardship, we are
really spelling them in many cases,
and doing them a disservice. The au-
thor Of a book called "A Century OF
the Child" has the following sensible
remarks on this subject:
What is required, above all, for the
children Of the present day, is to be
assigned again real home occupation,
tasks they must do conscientiously,
habits Of work arranged for week days
and holidays without oversight, in
every case where the child can help
himself. Instead Of the modern school
child having a mother and servants
about him TO get him ready for school
and help him to remember things. he
should have time every day before
school to arrange his room and brush
his cOlthes. and there should be no
Effort to make him remember what is
Connected with the school. The home
and the school should combine to-
gether Systematically not to let the
child suffer for the results of his own
negligence.
Just the reverse of this system
rules today Mothers learn their chill
lessons, invent plays for them,
read their story books to them, ar
range their rooms after them, pick up
what they have let fall. put in order
Inc things they have left in confusion,
and in this and in other ways, by pro-
ecure pampering and attention, their
aeSlre for work, their endurance, the
gins Of invention and Imagination,
Qualities proper to the child, become
weak and passive The home now is
only preparation for school. In it,
Young people growing up, are accus-
'onied to receive services, without
performing any on their part They
are trained TO be always receptive in
,r Of giving something in return.

THE DIME NOVEL.

During the past month at a con-
gress of psychiatria in Berlin, Profess
sor Pick of Prague told a boy of
thirteen, who together with another
lad of the same age, strangled him
self. The professor demonstrated that
the determining incentive of the act
was the reading of certain cheap nov
els with fiashy covers. The young
mind is full of fantastic activity, and
when this is nourished upon such lit
erature it conduces to a pathological
state whose final end is crime.
Everyone knows the effect of the
excitement and suggestion aroused
when children, especially boys. de-
voured with avidity the lurid tales of
Indian adventure. and were led to fly
from their homes. Today suggestion
comes to the young from the reading
of novels whose argument is crimi
nality and gilded indecency. The re-
suit of such reading is an epidemic.
more or less extensive, of like fragrant
transgressions against the moral law.
These facts thus stated, analysed
and discussed by men of science
ought to serve as ample confirmation
of the warnings so often uttered by
the Church. 1t ought to touch those
parents whose carelessness in this
regard permits books of the most Of
fensive and degrading character to lit
ter the tables of their drawing rooms
and parlors.
Moreover, these cheap novels, low
in thought and slangy in diction, are
found in the newspapers which are
read day by day. 1t is hardly to be
wondered at that the taste for decent
Catholic reading grows less as this
literature increases in circulation. An
evil mind cannot appreciate the pure,
the correrct and the wholesome. The
Catholic paper and the Catholic book
thus becomes a bore. Men and women
who are otherwise intelligent fail to
see this point They see children
ruined; they see young men abandon
ing their faith; they see young women
entering into unions full of unhappi-
ness. They never seem to see that the
cause of it all lies in the literature
they read and the companionship they
keep. The record of crimes emanat-
ing from such sources speaks for it.

1.-THE BOYS THE FATHER TO THE
MANI

. The boys the father to the man."
And nature knows no other plan
OF growth and gain; it's slow and
sure,
With great results that must endure.
Note. well the meaning of this law;
A deeper truth you never saw:
The boys the man of smaller size,
And by degrees grows big and wise!
You would not be foolish man
Then guard against it all you can
BY cleaning wisdom day by day
From every source upon your way
And know we'll you'd not be bad,
You fine, straightforward, manly lad.
Be faithful to the pure and true,
Be loyal to the man in you!
Who would be victor meets the fight,
Who would be noble greets the right,
And who would be a manly man
Must study natures wondrous plan!

THE VALUE OF GOLD.

(By John Boyle O'Reilly.)
There may be standard weight for
precious metal,
But deeper meaning it must ever
hold;
Thank God, there are some things no
law can settle,
And one of these-the real worth of
gold.
The stamp of king or crown has COM
mon power
To hold the traffic-value in con-
troll;
Our coarser senses note this worth

soul.
This truth we find not in mere ware
house learning
The value varies with the hands
that hold;
The worth depends upon the mode of
earning;
And this mans copper equals that
mans gold.
With empty heart, and forehead lined
with scheming,
Mems sin and sorrow have been that
mans. gain;
But this mans heart, with rich emo
tons teeming,
Makes fine the gold for which he
coins his brain.
But richer still than gold from upright
labor
The only gold that should have
standard price
Is the poor earning of our humble
neighbor,
Whose every coin is red with sacri-
flee.
Mere store of money is not wealth,
but rather
The proof of poverty and need of
bread,
Like men themselves is the bright
gold they gather:
1t may be living, or it may be dead.
1t may be filled with love and life and
vigor,
To guide the wearer, and to cheer
the way;
1t may be corpse-like in its weight
and rigor,
Bending the bearer to his native
clay
There is no comfort but in outward
showing
In all the servile homage paid to
dross;
Better to heart and soul the silent
knowing
Our little store has not been gained
by loss

at a comparatively small sum. The
canvas was nailed to an old wooden
frame and was much soiled, but one
day, while examining the picture, Fa-
Their Jean Renard discovered the mi
tails "B. E." cut on the back of the
frame. Thinking that the picture
might possess more value than he
had paid for it, the priest invited an
expert to see it. He, after examin-
ing the picture, declared it to be a
genuine Murillo, and Father Jean Re

initials on the frame were those of
