of 50 years and the donkey like Pc

the rabbit from to 10, the goose 80,
the duck, the hen and the turkey a
dozen years. Among the animals hav-
ing the best established reputation for
longevity are: The crow, which lives
100 years; the parrot and the elephant
which attain an age of $50 years. Carp,
on the other hand, appear to have

When the battle of Fredericksburg

the Irish Brigade, under the command
of General Thomas Francis Meigher,
was ordered to make a dash from the
town and attack Marye's Heights.

the heights held by the confederate
troops, their batteries directing a rak-
ing deadly fire on the Union lines. Lit
orally into the jaws of death the Irish
men charged, following their intrepid
leader.

whose business it was to keep cool and
write to his newspaper of what he saw
said of the advance on Marye's Heights
that day by Meagher's men: Neither
at Fontenoy nor at Waterloo was such
courage seen as was displayed today by
those sons of Erin in their six frantic
dashes against the almost impregnable
position held By the confederates.
Within forty yards of Colonel Walton's
batteries the bodies of the men in blue
were piled in masses, showing what
manner of men they were" Meagher

was trained in the Jesuit colleges of
C1ongowes Wood in Ireland and Stoney-

Father Bernard Vaughan in a recent
address in London on the Catholic press
gave advice which might we'll be turned
TO account in America as In England.
Here are a few of the good things he
said:

weapon. if we but knew it. The present
Pope knows it. Plus Y once took the

Ole journalist kneeling at his feet and
blessed it with these words:

Ny predecessors used to consecrate the
swords and armor of Christian warriors.

the pen of Christian journalist"
A French archbishop not long ago
told mis- flock that had they expended
on the press a tenth part of the money
which they had spent on pious and
charitable institutions, those same insti-
tutions would not have been confis-
Gated.
Be loyal to your press, and your
press viii be loyal to you. Show your
best side to your press. and your press
will show your best side to the world.
Our Catholic side is this best side.
Let your support of the Catholic
press take practical shape. Buy, sub

others to do the same. Advertise in

Experience.

There are two kinds of experience
in the world One is the continued
round of repeated actions and events.
mere mechanical reiteration of joy
and sorrow, ups and downs, successes
and failures-a kind of chapter of ac-
cidents which leave no very definite
impression after they have passed
away, and produce no very marked eff
feet upon the life they thus chequer.
The other is that which is woven into
the very web of existence, giving it
tone, color, texture, and strength. The
one, barren to it's owner. is necessarily
barren to another generation; the other,
striking down deep roots into the be-
ing of him who sustains it, as surely
grows and bears fruit in those whU
come after him

rhe NobIest in AIl REELECTION.

Rev. Melbourne p. Boynton, pastor of
tbe Lexington Avenue Baptist church,
chicago. is reported to have said in a
sermon recently: Restore the cross to
our spires, our jewelry and our relig-
,ous books. 1t is lamentable that we
have allowed it to become the symbol
of the Catholics (alone). 1t ought to
tvpify the whole body of Gods follow
ers. It makes my blood boil, when Cath
olics are criticized for displaying the
cross as conspicuously as they do. In
stead of testing about this, we should
emulate the Catholic in this respect. The
cross is the noblest symbol in all re-
laion and should be found above every
church "

For Cleaning Wall Taper.

Where the. paper is smoked or other
wise soiled, but still in good condition,
this is recommended for cleaning: Take
one quart of flour, one heaping tea
spoonful of salt, one tablespoonful of
cooking soda, three tablespoonful Of
common household ammonia, and one
pint of rainwater. Mix well and steam
for half an hour. in a creased pan,
then cut into pieces to handle while
still hot and kned thoroughly as you
would dough until perfectly smooth;
keep in an air-tight jar until ready to
use; make only as wanted. and rub the
paper with the dough, finishing one
space before beginning another.
Another way is to use a mitten Of
turkish toweling, or canton flannel,
dipping in bran, fine oatmeal, or
flour; or even cornmeal, and rubbing
as you would scour a floor, changing
the bran or flour as often as it gets

Paris Floods.

Fast on the tidings a few weeks ago
that the flood in Paris had grown to
disastrous proportions, came the news
that the Holy Father, first of all SOW
ereigns or heads of states, had forward
ed, out of his poverty, large sum of
money for the victims of the Seine's up
rising. To the thoughts and sentiments
which such news irresistibly suggested
to many minds, Rome gives this express
sion:
There is something especially striking
in the situation which has produced this
prompt proof of the Holy Fathers char
ity. Paris calls itself 1.-The brain of the
world; Paris is the most typical GEN.
ter of the latest phase of civilization;
Paris, through its chamber of deputies,
has banished God from the public life of
the country, from the minds of the ris-
ing generation; Paris has proclaimed
that it has put out the lights of heaven,
because human reason is good enough
and strong enough for all its purposes;
Paris has turned the homes and charita-
BILE institutions of the religious cOngre-
cations to lay purposes, and seized on
what it called "the milliard of the con-
gregations' That has all happened
within a few years And now suddenly
this brain of the world has burst a
water vessel and become paralyzed. 1t
cannot light even its electric flashlights,
although it thought it had put out the
lights of heaven; its great men, whose
reason was enough to cope with all
emergencies, stand impotent, with their
arms folded, in the face of disaster. The
real milliard of the flood has taken the
place of the fantastic milliard of the
congregations; the laicized houses have
to be again turned to the shelter of the
homeless and afflicted; and the Father
of all Catholics, who was proclaimed a
foreigner" in Paris, is the first to come
to the relief of the victims
