HALF A GALLON OF
 WATER DRUNK DAILY. l

The average quantity of water us- ed daily in cities of the United States ranges from 50 to 150 gallons per capi- ta. The quantity used each day for drinking is estimated to be about half a gallon. It is of the greatest im- portance that this half-gallon shall be free from the germs of typhoid and other diseases. For many uses, such as sprinkling streets and flush ing sewers, no purification is needed, but for large number of other uses the value of the water depends on the amount and kind of mineral mat ter it contains. The best water for use in laundries, steam boilers. textile works, and paper mills is that which is clear. is free from iron, and con- tains only moderate amount of oth- er mineral matter

gardless of the law of God. Vain is it
to build magnificent temples of God if
His living temples are neglected-our
churches will be abandoned and de-
serted if our children are not reli-
giously instructed. Therefore are we
building schools for all classes; select
schools for those who can and wish to
frequent them and parish schools for
others and homes and asylums for the
children of sorrow and misfortune.
We should be reasonably charged with
insincerity or hypocrisy if in this
seemingly ostentatious display of zeal
for the welfare of the child we failed,
either because of the difficulty or Of
the burden to provide for those whose
condition should appeal most forcibly
to faith and charity-thc orphans, the

To Rome Every Three Years.

By recent decree OF Pope PiuX X.
the term for the accustomed visit of
Irish Bishops lad limina Apostolor-
UNI" has been changed from five years
to three years, says the Weekly Free
man Dublin). Henceforth, commenc-
ing with the present year Q91D the
bishops of all the European countries
will have to present themselves in
Rome every three years, and give a
detailed account of the working of
the various dioceses. This decision
was arrived at owing to the facilities
OF travel, and a triennial report of the
various European dioceses is now in
sisted on. A further condition is i'm
posed on European prelates, namely,
that all the Bishops Of a particular
country must pay their "ad limina"
visit within the year. 'Shus it hap
pens that all the Irish Bishops will
have to visit Rome this present year.
Already the exodus has commenced,
the most recent being the Lord Bishop
of Ossory, Most Rev. DR.. Brownrigg,
who is now en- route for Rome, accom-
panied by Very Rev. Tobias Walsh,

TEACHER AND CHILD
The Reason Why the Church Advo
Gates Christian Education.

Right Rev. Mgr. J. j. McCourt,
speaking at the laying of the corner
stone of the new Catholic Home for
Destitute Children in Philadelphia re-
Gently, said:
Any system of education that ig-
nores or neglects this primary demand
OF child life, that fails to cultivate
the soul whilst it informs the mind
and develops the body, can never
have the appreciation of the Catholic
Church. The influences and associa-
tons of home must indeed be the great
agents forming and fashioning the
soul and character OF child, but these
ought to be supplemented by the
teaching and atmosphere of a religious
school in which is acquired the thor
ough knowledge of.eternal truths that,
either by their duties or their limita-
tons, parents are prevented from i'm
parting. TO give the greater part of
a child's school hours to the acquiring
considerable part to the learning Of
divine truth is an absurdity; to teach
child that it is created for heaven
and to fail to direct it there unceas-
ingly is greater injustice than to
send it into the world incapacitated
for the worlds duties and obligations;
to teach the child that it has an i'm
mortal soul and to suffer that soul to
be neglected is a greater crime than
to permit its frail body to perish of
neglect
1t is not a spirit of exclusiveness or
of narrow bigotry or of opposition to
our national institutions as is some
times falsely asserted. that constrains
Catholics to erect institutions for the
instruction of the growing generation
1t is the firm conviction that Catholic
faith and Catholic practice are neces-
sary for the salvation of their chill
dren, and that, If that faith be not
learned in the impressionable age of
childhood and more thoroughly under
stood as reason develops, if the COM
mandments of the law be not Impress
ed upon the heart in early years and
reduced to practice when the will be-
gins its sway, then our children will
