INDIAN SUPERSTITION.

Dying to order is one of the most
sacred customs of the American In
dian. Thirty years ago Standing Elk
came to Major James Mclaughlin,
the author of MY Friend, the In
dian" and said Father my wife will
die today, and she wants coffin from
you" The major asked him what the
ailment was, and he replied: Just
nothing. but she heard the ghost call
ing and must 60" Somebody had
told her. it turned ont. that she was
sick, so she had painted for death"
and all her relatives had gathered
about her to bemoan her-and incl
dentally to divide her property as
soon as she was dead There was no
use in the major arguing about it, so
he had the coffin made
In many cases those painted for
death" are actually bullied into dy-
ing, but Mrs. Standing Elk was still
too vigorous. Finally in despair she
carried the coffin into the house on
her own shoulders, and several years
later the major saw it still standing
on end in her house. Shelves had
beet fitted into 1t and it was doing
duty as a cupboard

sELFIsHNEss IS THE TROUBLE

Selfishness in some form is at the
foundation of most of our unhappi-
ness and misery. 1t may be selfish
ness of special kind, but under
whatever form it appears it has prac-
ucally the same results. There NAV
be difference in kind, but results are
merely question of degree Most of
US are possessed and governed by
selfish motives in life What we
speak of as ambitious ends are more
than likely dictated by a certain form
of selfishness. What is one persons
gain Is too often anothers loss. The
woman who shines socially is sure to
create envy and heart-burnings in an
other. Jealousy is created in every
sphere of human action, whether of
business or pleasure. Much of this un-
happiness is the result of selfishness
on the part of those who suffer. We
long to succeed in some particular
line, and the attainments of another
in this direction makes us jealous be-
cause the element of selfishness pos
sesses us. We are not willing to see
reap the reward of Just and
honest work because we crave the
same success

PIsA's LEANING TOWER

The Leaning Tower of Pisa with its
eight tiers of marble colonades, is
threatened with the same fate that
overlook st. Marks Campanile in Ven
ice. royal commission of experts,
as the result of thorough investiga-
ton, reports that instead of being a
massive, spacious base, as it was gen
orally believed to be, the foundation
consists simply of ring of masonry
exactly corresponding to the huge
Cylindrical mass above it.
The diameter of the inner ring of
the foundation is precisely the same
"a little over eight fee) as that of the
inside of the tower. This fact and the
discovery that the foundations are
merely feet inches beneath the
surface, have convinced the commits
sion that the tower was originally built
perpendicularly and that it's leaning
propensities, which are becoming more
and more accentuated, are not due to
any intention on the part of it's con-
structors
In 1929 the tower was nearly four
teen and half feet out of the vertical
and since then the commission believes
mat the Increase has been nearly
Ioot- Inc causes for this condition are
principally that the base of the tower
mas always been immersed in water
ana deep cistern dug seventy wears
ago in an unsuccessful attemDt at
drainage has only made matters worse
A severe earthquake shock in 1924
gave the tower an additional incIina-
ton of five inches.

STORY FOR CHILD-WoRKERs.

Shall we cheat them of their child
hood? Shall we rob them of
their right?
Shall we bend their shrinking shout
ders meath the load?
Shall we stunt their slender bodies :?
Shall we stint their souls of
light?
Shall We deal with them by Greed's
accused code?
All, my brothers, from your ledgers
for moment turn away!
All, my sisters, leave your follies
and your toys
And give ear to one whose song is for
humanity today,
For the bodies and the souls of girls
and boys!
Dearly do we pay for progress, dearly
are our profits priced,
If we have to rob the school to run
the mill,
And our creeds the creed of Mammon,
not the gentle creed of Christ.
If the little ones He loved must suf-
fer still!
Let us cease our foolish babble of the
rolling tide of trade,
Let us pirate no more of traffic and
its noise,
II the WneelS or commerce rattle o ef
a roadway that is made
Of the bodies and the souls of girls
and boys,
Shall we cheat them of their child
hood? Shall we rob them of
their right?
Shall we bind them to the chariot
of Gain?
Shall the childish brain be blunted?
Shall the little face grow
white
In crowded hives of Industry-and
Pain?
All, my brothers! All, my sisters. YOU
had better turn away
From your ledgers and your divi-
dents and toys
For menace to the future is the thrift
that thrives today
ON the bodies and the souls of girls
and boys.

THE ALLELUIA VICTORY.

The word Alleluia is a cry of tri-
umph; 1t denotes the victory which
Our Lord gained over death by His
Resurrection. We find in the Life of
St German of Auxerre the story of
another victory gained by this same
triumphant cry
st. German. Bishop of Auxerre,
and ST. Loup, Bishop of Thoyes, had
gone to Great Britain to combat her
estes that were disturbing the peace
of the Church. Whilst they were
there the Inhabitants were attacked
by the pagan Picts and Scots The
BritOns had recourse to the two
saints, and besought them to accom-
combat might be favorable to them.
1t being Easter time, ST. German
had a sort of chapel made in the
midst of the camp, of branches of
trees interlaced; and the catechu-
mems who had been prepared for bap-
tism were there solemnly baptized
After the festival, the little army of
Christians set forward on its journey,
having at its head st. Germain, who
had once been brave and skillful
military leader He recommended his
soldiers for the time being to OBJ
serve the best possibly order, and as
soon as they saw the hostile army
arrive to repeat with all their
strength the word they should hear
him say.
No sooner were the Picts and Scots
in sight than the holy bishop began
to cry out "AIleluia!'' and immedf-
ately his men repeated, as loud as
they could shout. "Alleluia! Alleluiar
The echoes of the mountains repeat
ed the cry with a laundering sound.
Nothing more was wanting to fright
en- the barbarians, who instantly fled
in wild disorder; many of them were
even drowned crossing a river. Thus
did St German gain the victory with
out the shedding of a drop of blood.

considered the danger of infection
becomes greater than in the general
population. New York and Massa-
chusetts are the only states where
any systematic attempt has been
made to transfer all tuberculosis
prisoners to one central institution.
The largest prison tuberculosis hos
pital is, in Manila, where accommo-
dations for 200 prisoners are pro-
vided. The next largest is Clinton
prison hospital in New York, which
provides for $50.
The fact that 100000 prisoners
are discharged from the jails and
prisons of the country annually, and
that from ten to fifteen per cent of
them have tuberculosis, makes the
problem of providing special places
for their treatment while they are
confined a serious one. So import
ant is the problem that the Prison as
ISOLATION of New York, In co-opera-
ton with the State Charities Aid as
ISOLATION, is preparing to inaugu-
rate special campaign for the pre-
Vent1on of tuberculosis in the penal
institutions of the state, and will seek
to enlist the cooperation of all prison
physicians and anti-tuberculosis so

TROUSERS TAX IN FRANcT.

In France women are taxed from
$40 to $3.50 a year for the privilege
Of wearing mems trousers. This, how
ever, does not accord to every woman
willing to pay the tax the right TO don
such garments. On the contrary, the
government confers the right only as
a tribute to great merit, making it, in
fact sort Of decoration given to
women as the ribbon of the Legion of
Honor is given to men.
The only women to whom has been
granted the right to wear male attire
were George Sand. Rosa Bonheur,
Nine. Dieulafoy. the Persian archaic
ologist Nine. Foucalt and the sculp-
tors, Mesdames Fourreau and La jean
cite.
An instance Of the jealous care with
which in France this right has been
guarded, was shown in the case Of
Nine. de Valsayre. the lady who. some
years ago. became so well known bv
reason of her propensity for fighting
duels and her endeavors to get elected
to the French assembly. Her petition
to the government for the right in
question was refused time and time
again

THE POWER OF PRAYER.

have lived my life, and that which
| have done
May He within Himself make pure;
but thou,
If thou shouldst never see my face
again,
Pray for my soul. More things are
wrought by prayer
Than this world dreams of. Wherefore
let thy voice
Rise like fountain for me night and
day
For what are men better than sheep
and goats,
That nourish blind life within the
brain,
If, knowing God, they lift not hands
of prayer
Both for themselves and those who
call them friend?
For so the whole round earth is every
way
Bound by gold chains about the feet
of God.

CARVING MEAT.

To successfully carve meat one must
know how to control the knife. When
carving slice of meat, after the first
lnclsion has been made, the angle at
which the knife is held must never be
altered, or jagged slice will be the
result
The cut should be direct, sharp and
1ncisive. The saw-like motion should
not enter into the operation.
AS rule the knife should be held
firmly but applied lightly, so that too
much juice will not be squeezed out
from the meat BY using the point
Of the knife lightly as a wedge and
the fork as a lever, even a big fowl
may be easily jointed, provided the
carver is aware of how the Joint is
exactly situated and held together

THE TYRANNY OF ROME.

Why does any one, who has had no
experience of life under the guidance
and protection of the Catholic Church,
call her power tyrannical? There are
some people who consider the Ten
Commandments tyranncal. and who
would violate them more openly than
they do were it not that the civil law
with its right to punish, holds them
in check.
Man loves power and will seek to
affiliate himself with it; with a bene-
flcent power if his intentions are up
right and with an evil power if they
are not
1t is the inherent strength of the
Catholic Church that attracts and
holds her followers. That she is a
pronounced power for good is more
than manifest; otherwise, influencing.
as she does, so large a number, she
would prove a severe handicap to the
civil law, instead of being, as she is,
its loyal supporter
Our Protestant friends are begin
ming to realize the difference between
The Church" and 1.-The churches"-
the one instituted by Christ. the
others established by men The one
united, consequently a power; the
others disunited, consequently weak
Seeking to offset this weakness, our
Protestant friends are now striving
for some sort of unity among them
sedves, formulating a consensus of
denials in matters of vital importance.
Fortunately there are some who
stanchly hold aloof from this move
ment knowing that it can only be
brought about by the more Christian
element yielding to the lesser, and
they are not willing to give up the
remnant of Christian principles they
still possess. All honor to them! In
this we are with them. But we have it
in our hearts to wish that they might
be brought to a realizing sense of
their own precarious position and the
full meaning of our Savior's words:
He that gathereth not with Me, scat
tereth," and those other words:
Take My yoke upon you; for My
yoke is easy and My burden light
Indeed, the Catholic alone under
stands the meaning of these two texts,
and he finds no tyranny in the Divine
yoke imposed upon him by his own
ecclesiastical laws.-Sacred Heart Re
