1t is said that Mr.. Andrew Carne-
gle can spell any word any way, and
no way the same the second time.
George Washington also had the same
accomplishment, but the modern
methods of spelling are just as con
spicuous if all public schools are like
those of Lee, Mass. 1t is told that in
$4,000 attempts to spell words given
out in a recent spelling match be-
tween the 18th, Sth and 9th grades
$4,000 errors occurred. Spinach was
missed eighty-six times before the
correct spelling was stumbled upon
and macearoni was given up as bad
job.

WHY CHRIST NEVER LAUGHED.

It was said, by one of the Fathers,
that though we read in the Gospels
that Jesus wept, we do not find it re-
corded that He ever smiled That is
strictly true; and, says Mr.. Arthur
Preuss, in the Catholic Fortnightly
Review, yet we need not infer from
the silence of the gospels that our
Lord never smiled. Mr.. Preuss does
not perceive the slightest reason to
say the Saviour might not have
smiled to express a welcome to his
friends or to acknowledge a kindly
service. But smiles proceeding from
amusement at the occurrence of some
thing ridiculous, still less breaking
forth into laughter, are not to be sup
posed as possible to the redeemer.
1t ssems that Father Bridget, in
January, 1897, wrote an article in the
Dublin Review, dealing with this sub
ject-an interesting specimen of
theologic dialetic. After quoting from
BOssuet, Father Bridget said that
while Bossuet may have spoken the
truth in saying that laughter was I'M
worthy of a God made man, yet it
need not, therefore, be unworthy of a
man, or even a Christian man, or a
saint. In the first place, there is an
intellectual imperfection in laughter
| that was incompatible with the eleva-
ton of the Saviour's human soul. He
took, indeed both our nature and our
weaknesses, yet there were certain
things, both good and fitting to us, in
which he could not be like us. Faith
is to us the foundation of all super
natural virtues, yet Jesus Christ, from
his very excellence, could not be to us
the model of faith, though he was its
author and finisher. AS a man, he
had vision, not faith. Now, laughter
according to Aristotle, is an affection
of the soul and body which arises
from the sudden perception of some.
thing that is incongruOus, yet neither
painful nor pernicious. AS God can
have no sudden perceptions, neither
could the human soul of Jesus Christ
enjoying as it did the Beatific Vision
We, however who do not see the es
sence, but only the surface of things
have constantly brought before us
things incongruous."
/ Mr.. Preuss proceeds further tC
give a reason. There is another
reason why the Saviour never laugh
ed. He was the reedemer of mankind
i Before the eye of his human soul was
ever the sight of his Father offended
of souls obstinately SHINING and per
ishing, of souls to be reconcilled by
the satisfaction of divine justice. This
Sight alone would account for the
Saviour's never laughing" This is
an interesting subject for the ply
biologists. One would say that is is
i almost impossible to conceive of the
Saviour's not smiling as he narrated
the parallels, or as he spoke to the
rich young man or as he said Render
unto Caser the things that are
Caesars" There certainly is humor in
the parallels. Surely a smile must
have accompanied the declaration to
Peter that before the cock crows
thou shalt deny me thrice" There are
many smiles in the gospel, but nothing
provocative of laughter.-Courier

A ball game between Joe Yea.
mans Flatfoot team and G. ii.
Tinkham's Roughnecks was pulled
off Wednesday afternoon. The score

"A ball game Friday between the
professional men of the city and a
team chosen from among the various
business interests was at least enter
tanning if not scientific. The score
was rs to ID in favor of the business
men. Much could be said of the
high-class work by the different
players, but Father Lahecka of the
professional team in the center field
was easily the star performer. He
has an accurate eye and never failed
to measure the distance from where he
stood to where the ball would touch
the ground, and he was always able
to stop within a few feet of the spot
and wait for the ball to bound. He
is an accomplished coach also, but he
nearly precipitated a riot by insisting
on taking the base runner by the arm
at third base and leading him to home
plate. Judge Green proved con-
clusively that the judicial eye is out
of Joint when it comes to making the
bat come into contact with A. &.
Bittner's curves, or else he was to
quick for Bittner and the latter never
once touched the Judges bat. F. l..
Brewer did good work as short for
the business men-when the balls
were not too hot. w. H. Warren was
probably the fastest base runner of
the bunch. He can beat anything we
ave. saw that is not faster than him
self. The meanest trick we saw in
the whole game was by John Hall
and Henry Hamilton. They are so
long and thin that when they stand
up to bat all they have to do is to
bend their knees and a good fair ball
right oyer the pan goes back of their
legs and must be declared a ball by
the umpire. A team like them could
stay at bat all day and take bases on
balls.

An Eskimo's Dwelling.

We do not look for any great amount
OF inventive genius among the Esqui-
maus, but for years they have en-
ployed a rather complete respirator,
used in the preparation and taking OF
a vapor bath. as a means of protection
from the dense smoke. This Esqui-
mau respirator is a little basket woven
of twisted strands of fine grass. 1t Is
placed with it's shallow side against
the mouth, and a wooden peg, which
arises from the center of the basket,
Is held between the teeth. For this
purpose water is ~evaporated over q
big fire in a very low hut, which is
tightly closed to keep in the heat. In
this sitting atmosphere the employ
ment of a respirator is absolutely nee,
essary.
