A JESUIT DIscovERER.

1t was a Jesuit missionary, Father
Marcel de Esperance, who discovered
the rubber tree. He found it while on
one of his apostolic journeys among
the Cambeba Indians of South Amer
lea, and gave it the singular name of
the seringuera, because he remarked
that the savage used the sap of. this
tree, which hardens quickly, to make
rude bottles that were shaped like a
syringe. A rubber-seeker's camp is
still called a seringal, and the work
ers are known as seringueiros. The
name caoutchouc was given to this
product by La Condamine, French
astronomer, who visited Southern
America. In an account of his travels
before the Paris Academy of Science,
he said: "The Indians of the Amazon
give the name of cahutchu to white
sap drawn from the hyeve tree" The
best caoutchouc (rubber) is retained
in the vicinity of Pera, Brazil.

Of these edifices is worth perhaps
forty dollars. From this value the

my people are eager to build new
church. They offer to give their labor
on it without any charge, and to draw
building materials, stone, wood, sand,
etc., to the site free. They have do
mated all they can for the purchase of
these materials, but the various col
lections for this object have yielded
only to the sum of sixty dollars.

in continuing my work among my

appreciated"

CHARACTERIZATION IN LoANGo.

In the nineteenth century Loango,
in the French Congo, suffered greatly
from the slave trade Thousands OF
the poor natives were sold by the
chiefs for few beads or baubles.
When a ship appeared of the coast
the cry of selo! (sailor), selo! rang
through the villages, and the people
fastened to fee to the forests to es-
cape being carried away into bond
age by the inhuman white men.
Even today, the negroes greet the
arrivals of a steamer or sailing YES
sci with the shout of "selo, selo!"
The infamous traffic was still brisk
in 1871. Shortly after that time the
Fathers of the Congregation of the
Holy Ghost resumed in the French
Congo the work which the mission
aries had been constrained to lay down
nearly hundred years before.
These new laborers in the apostolic
field took up their residence in the
Congo with the Serongo tribe near the
mouth of the Congo river The Seron.
COS were fierce and savage, but they
received the missionaries well, pre-
sented them with food and aided them
to build little chapel, which was
placed under the auspices of Saint An
thony.
From the Serongo villages the Fa-
theirs went on the settlement of Mem
lao and Bona and, gradually, won the
confidence of the people, who discov,
cred them to be men devoted to the
interest of the natives and eager to
help them.
, Once for instance, at the time OF
sowing the grain, there was a severe
drought The negroes accused the
missionaries of holding back the
rain" Having seen in the mission
house a few cane-seated chairs, they
concluded that the novel articles OF
furniture were the cause Of all the mis-
fortunes that had come to them be-
cause of the dry season. They at
tackled the house, accordingly, in order
to destroy these strange and curious
objects. Only a vigorous resistance
on the part of the missionaries saved
the chairs.

The Eucharistic Seal

Old Mademoiselle de Mibreuil
shook her head ominously, as a fair
haired child dashed by the chateau,
her spirited pony at full gallop, and
her pretty face all aglow with the
excitement of a race with her broth
ers.
Believe me, my DEAR" said the old
lady to her niece, the Countess de
Fremont, "you really must be more
strict with that child She is alto
gether too wild. You spoil her too
much. She will never be good and
devout like her sisters, but a worldly,
giddy girl, who will bring your gray
hairs with sorrow to the grave"
Il really don't feel anxious about
Jeanette, Auntie," answered the Count
ess with smile. Hers is merry,
happy nature, but she has an excel
lent heart and a great desire to do
right, and l have no fault to find with
her. l feel that l can thank God for
all my dear children"
sAh! you will see, you will see!"
muttered the sour old creature. "That
child is too frivolous and too pretty to
turn out any good" and she quite
painted with virtuous indignation, for
she was one of those poor souls who,
although very pious in their way, al
ways see the dark side of things and
the mote in their neighbours eye. She
was decided trial to all her rela-
tives, especially to the De Piremonts,
to whom she was now making pain
fully long visit.
The chateau in which they lived
wa some of the most beautiful of Tour
aine, that land of stately homes, and
was surrounded by magnificent park
and gardens that were the pride of the
whole countryside. The family, which
consisted of the Count and Countess
and their six children, was of the
bluest blood of France, and was a
particularly happy one, very pious and
devoted to works of charity.
On one side of the chateau, but built
much farther back, so that it could not
be seen by any one standing in front
of the house, was an exquisite Gothic
chapel, on which every succeeding
generation had delighted to lavish
costly offerings. Holy Mass was said
there every morning by M. Fable
/ Plante, the boys tutor, and at the time
when these events happened the
Blessed Sacrament was reserved there
and the whole family and many of the
dependents We'd with one another II
their devotion to their Eucharistit
Lord, making Him long visits and dec
Grating His altar with the choicest
flowers. Even little Jeanette did mo-
fail to do SO, and though too restless
to enjoy staying long in the chapel
her visits to it were very frequent an6
fervent ones, and she perhaps though
of our dear Lord during the day al
often, if not oftener, than did her ap
