Bilbo has declined to prosecute the

that the truth will come and that the
truth will damn him forever. The

AN AMUSING INCIDENT.

The Gilbert Islands, Oceanica, are
evangelical by the Missionaries of the
Sacred Heart. The natives still live
in the great simplicity, yet they laugh
at the ignorance of their ancestors,
whom they consider that they have
left far behind in the march of pro-
gress. Among the stories they tell to
a white man, if he is friendly with
them, is the following:
Shortly after the appearance of the
Americans and Europeans among the
islands, the people OF. the little village
of Teora found mysterious box float
ing on the waves. Two of the vii
layers brought it ashore and were
brave enough to open it. The con-
tents delighted all the neighbors. 1t
evidently was something to eat, and
resembled the well-cooked pulp of the
paw fruit. A banquet was held, and
the villagers partook heartily of the
treasure trove. Alack! Soon after
wards every body was taken alarm
ingly ILL., The contents of the box
proved to be SOAP"

HOT SPRINGS or MADAGASCAR.

Atsirabe, the capital of Vakinan-
karata, is about eighty-five miles south
of Tananarivo. Madagascar has three
thousand inhabitants.
The principal streets are bordered
by acacia and eucalyptus trees. The
homes of the government officials and
foreign residents are attractive, but
the native cabins are low-roofed and
the interiors are dark.
The government wishes to improve
this town, and a good road connects
with Tananarivo, Ambositra and Fina-
narantosa.
The hot natural spring of Antsira-
be have been found by analysis to pos
sess properties similar to those of
vichy. There has, for some time, been
a project of building hotel here to
attract visitors to these springs, but
the plan has not materialized.
Three missionaries of La Salette
now reside at Antsirabe. From this
point, they visit the various stations in
turn, to instruct and baptize the cate
chumens and children and to celebrate
the Mass for and administer the sac
raments to all the Christians.

ONWARD, CHRISTIAN soLDfER!

The far-reaching good that is being
accomplished by the Catholic Church
Extension Society, whose Offices are
in Chicago, is we'll expressed in the
letter of Texas missionary:
ION New Years Day the Holy Sac
rifice was offered up for the first time
within the new st. Mary's church, at
Perico. 1t is the farthest west in
North Texas that the cross has yet
been permanently planted. More than
two hundred years ago the Spanish
conquerors raised the sign of mans
redemption in this same section of
our country. But the passing Of Tex
as under five flags made the building
of permanent churches for some time
unnecessary. .a#
'The outpost of the new, advanc-
ing army of the Church that The
Catholic Church Extension Society
has located at Perico is manned by
sturdy German Catholics from Illi-
nois; and their descendants will be
worshiping the God of the German
and the Celt on these western plains
when there will be no longer any
West to Christianize or colonize.
MAY God bless the Society that
has caused TINS church to be erected
at Perico"
The colony referred to is composed
Of minors who were thrown out OF
work in Illinois by a strike. AS they
are still paying for their land, it
would be many years before they
could have home for Christ in their
midst, had it not been for the help
they received. There are hundreds OF

AND HER NAME Is, NORA!

This delectable paragraph from
"The Missionary Visitor" organ of
the Church of the Brethren, may
vet give Catholics food for thought:
"1517 Italian immigrants on our
ship, the 'Duca de la Abruzzi,' and
the ship which left harbor a few
hours before ours carried as many
more, and all bound for the United
States. It made us sad, because the
majority of these were a gain to
Italy when they left and loss to
America when they landed, because
they brought Catholicism whit its
Sunday dissertation, anarchy, drunk
enness, etc., into the fair land once
settled by the God-fearing, law-abid-
ing Pilgrim Fathers and the simple
hearted, peace-loving Quakers with
their Huguenot neighbors to the
south, who came not for wealth, but
for place to worship God in peace"
And the author of this envenomed
wall has the good old Irish name of
Nora! Perhaps mixed marriage is
responsible for Nora, because, thank
God! that's the only part of her name
that is Irish.
. But the majority of Protestant mis-
sionaries are gladdened, not sadden-
ed, by the arrival Of Catholic immi-
grants. They swoop down upon the
bewildered newcomers with all sorts
of Establishments, their chief aim be-
ing to get the children into Protes-
tant Sunday-schools. And, alas! too
often they succeed, with the result
that the children soon look with aver
sion on the faith of their baptism. To
safeguard, the faith of immigrants
was one of the reasons for founding
The Catholic Church Extension So
ciety. During the five years of its
existence it has done much to keep
these new citizens in the Barque OF
Peter. They realize with joy that
amid the confusion of the new life the
Church is the same watchful, loving
Mother that she was in the old home
across the seas.
Unfortunately not all Catholic i'm
migrants have this blessing. Until
American Catholics contribute more
generously to The Catholic Church
Extension Society, founded exclusive
ly for Home Mission work, Protestant
missionaries and Protestant money
will continue to win the children OF
many poor, unsophisticated foreigners.

A QUEER CHURCH IN GUIANA.

Churches are always one of the
sights" of place, usually because
they are either antique or because of
their beauty. But in out-of-the-way
corners of the world the local church
es are sometimes well worth seeking
for their curiosity. Thus, in one of
the gold districts Of Demerara, Brit
ish Guiana, there is a little church
which boasts paper roof. The bells
are merely two empty metal jars,
which are struck with an iron rod.
An empty flour barrel makes an eff

white cloth.

THE CROSS IN ECUADOR.

D. G. Stapleton, in an interesting
article on "The Catholics of Ecuador
contributed to America" speaks as
follows of one phase of their Faith:
1.-THE custom of the people of these
countries of keeping the crucifix or
even a bare cross before them and in
their minds is oftentimes objected to
and indeed sometimes ridiculed by
those who do not understand them or
are not in sympathy with them. They
do venerate the Cross.
Upon awakening in the morning
patron and peon alike, bending the
forefnger of the right hand under
the thumb forms cross, which he
first kisses and then marks a cross
on the forehead across the lips and
over the heart, saying, BY the sign
of Thy Holy Cross from our enemies,
o, Lord, deliver u.s. and this he asks
while making the sign of the larger
cross in the name of the Father and
of the Son and of the Holy Ghost.
During the day, if he passes church,
will at least raise his hat. when in
front of the door, and say, We adore
You, o Lord Jesus Christ, here and
in all Your Churches all over the
earth, and bless You for having re-
deemed the world by Your Holy Cross
Should he be called to make oath
on any occasion he does so by kiss
ing the cross formed by the fore
finger and thumb of the right hand.

idle boys mark the cross on dead
walls, lamp posts, telegraph line posts
and houses. If an engineering outfit
is at work cutting a line through the
forest, when at midday they halt for
luncheon, some one of the party Is
sure to fell a sapling and to strip it
of branches. Then splitting the stick
down from the top an opening is made
into which they drop cross-piece and
thus a cross is made, which is stuck
in the ground. Others may blaze a
tree or two and with crayon mark a
cross on the face.
"Canoe up any stream you please,
and in turning every bend the first
thing viewed will be cross planted
on the bank. Growing the gables to
the humble dwellings along the
stream is sure to be wood cross,

man whose turn it is to remain with
the canoe as you tie up for the night,
to guard against floating debris and
the perils of sudden freshets coming
down from up-country, will be certain
to have gotten out from his little
bundle of change of clothing, pillow
and sheet for bedding, which they all
carry, a crucifix or cross, which he
hangs above him in the rancho of the
canoe. Journeying on any trail or
roadway on foot, by mule, or in coach,
one is sure to find cross by the way
side at the top of every hill-if it
should be the crest of cordillera or
the divide of important watershed
there will be three crosses.
I'm the homes of the people the
cross is still more in evidence from
the time one passes the gateway. All
day long the cross is before them and
in their minds. One oftentimes thinks
il he could but see their hearts he
would find them branded with the
