NEARLY completed. Splendid yields OF
wheat, oats and barley are being re-
ported. Fl. II. Holmes threehed an

Juliaetta-Miles Pierce, of the Jul
iaetta Hardware company, has an egg
| from one of his white Brahma hens
that is one Of the largest on record
here. The egg will probably be
placed on exhibition at the Lewiston
| fair next month. 1t is seven inches
around the middle and nine and one
| fourth inches around from end to end.
1t weighs five ounces.
Mr.. Pierce said: ''Biddy presents
me one of these double-yolked eggs
about every second day. The hen is
about year old, being a late last
fall s chick.
Kooskia-The work of building the
huge concrete dam across the Middle
Fork of the Clearwater at this point is
started and operations will continue
until high water. Captain Andrews,
of Spokane, is to be resident engineer
and will have full charge. The COM
pany plans to have transmission lines
into Lewiston and other points down
the river within Is months and will
make the rate so low that the Koos-
kia power will be in demand.
That Kooskia will have large pulp
mill is an assured fact. There is
plenty of good pulp material In this
district.
4 The Selway national forest has an
abundance of it and forest officers and
paper mill men have been figuring on
the matter.
Wallace - With the completion of
the new 19-mile trail along the east
fork of the north fork of the Occur
d'Alene river, just begun under the
direction of Assistant Supervisor Joe
Hahn, the Occur d 'Alene national for
est will have one of the longest con-
tinuous water grade trails in the west
ern woods.
This new trail, which runs north
from the forks as far as Beaver mead
ow, will join trails now built north
from the st. Joe divide through Wal
lace with the trail running south from
Clark Fork. This is total distance
of about 80 miles and makes COM
plete north and south trail through the
forest.
The new trail will also join at Bea-
yer meadows with a trail for Lulu
point on the Pend d'Oreille, making
second east and west route through
the forest.

addition to the curriculum Of our
schools. Dean Schailer Mathews
says:
eve hear a vast amount Of ad-
vice to the effect that children are
to be taught the mysteries Of sex.
Il profoundly believe that the
maintenance Of moral ideas in
families will profit vastly more by
the maintenance Of chastity than
a perpetual discussion Of eugenics.
It is mistake to teach boys and
girls to substitute physiology for
the Decalogue. Lives grounded
on moral idealism withstand temp
tations better than lives which
have been taught only a pruden-
tial chastity"
The majority of parents and all
sane educators will agree with him
Notwithstanding the protests of
educational faddists. The reveIa-
lions made from time to time re-
garding immortality among school
children may be traced in large
measure to the indiscr1minate
delving into physiological details
which should not be presented to
the child mind.
The Catholic Church does not
subscribe to these so-called mod
ern methods Of pedagogy. She
does not believe that discussion
of things which ought not to be
named among Christians will con-
tribute to purity Of life. She i'm
presses on the minds Of her chill
dren that their bodies are the tenn
Piles of the Holy Ghost and, there
fore, should be kept unsuIlied.
Purity in thought, word and deed
is inculcated from earliest years
and emphasized as primary re-
quisite for holiness Of life; and
everything that furnishes the
whiteness of the soul is to be
avoided. She strives to build up
in the child mind an ideal of
purity which will serve, as bar
rier to the onrush Of passion more
effectively than an inculcation of
physiological teaching no matter
how useful the latter is supposed
to be.

A RITUAL MURDER.

Great religious excitement pre-
walls in Russia over what is said
to be Ritual Murder. Some time
ago the dead body Of a little child
of seven was found covered with
wounds of peculiar sort. The ac-
cusation was made in the Duma
that the murder had been com
mitted by Jews in the performance
of some mysterious rite which calls
for the sacrifice of christian child
In certain sections of Russia the
people believe that the Jews per.
iodically sacrifice christian chill
dren in their religious observances
The murder was very mysterious
and is arousing very bitter feel
ings against the Jews. Curiously
enough there is in a church at
Wilma a monument to child OF
seven years who was murdered in
an almost identical manner in the
fifteenth century as the inscrip-
ton on the tomb testifies. His
body was covered with one hun
dred and seventy wounds. AT
that time, as in the present in
stance, the murder was attributed
to the Jews.

THE IRISH CENSUS.

The Irish Census returns issued
on May 26 reveal an increased
urban population and a decreased
rural population, says the Clonmel
Chronicle; but unfortunately all
the people the rural districts have
lost have not been absorbed by our
own towns. On the balance, there
is an ascertained loss Of popula-
ton, as compared with ten years
ago, Of 1900, and, if natural in
crease were taken into account,
the real loss must, of course, have
been very much greater still.
However, there is no cloud without
it's silver lining, and even from
this official record Of lost thou
sands some grains Of comfort and
justification Of hope may be ex-
tracted. It is satisfactory that the
towns, on the whole, have more
than held their own, and as for the
rural districts, taking certain eco
nomic conditions into considera-
ton, matters might have been
worse. It looks like a sign Of ar
rested decay that the figures for
1911 show that the decline during
the decade is a third less than that
revealed in 1901, and more than
sixth less than that revealed in
1891. We have also to take into
the reckoning that the emigration
rate appears to be lessening, and
that while the death rate is declin.
ing the birth rate is increasing
With these facts before us and
knowledge Of the general effort
that is being exerted to make life
for the rural laborer more com.
Portable and more interesting
surely we may indulge the hope
that the next census will show that
a period has been put to ou1
record of excessive loss Of popu
lation.

GROWTH or GERMAN CATHOLIC
WOMEN ORGANIZATIONS.

The Catholic Women's Association
Of Germany recently held its fourth
general convention. In 1904, when the
first convention was held, there were
1,742 members. This years returns
showed over 10000 members. The
purpose of the association is to study
the problems presented by the en-
forced entrance of women into the in
dustrfal world, and right here in the
program which they have adopted lies
food for thought for all women Organi-
cations, especially for our Catholic
women of America
The Catholic Women's Association OF
Germany does not confine it's actiyi-
ties to study. One branch trains girls
as children's nurses and then gets
them positions. Another branch has
founded a milk depot, where poor
mothers can get wholesome milk for
their children for nothing; four socie-
ties supply maternity nurses to the
poor. Kitchens for preparing special
food for the sick, and stations for the
loan Of necessities for the sick poor
have been established Many branches
have taken up the work of training
factory and shop girls in cooking, laun-
dry and sewing. Holiday colonies for
the poor children of large cities have
been established. Legal aid societies,
giving their services to the poor, are a
part OF the associations work The
entire field OF social thought and &C
ton has been invaded by this powerful
organization.

PENTECOsT.

The feast Of Pentecost bears us
back in spirit to the very be-
ginning of the Church. 1t COM
memorates the anniversary Of that
blessed day when the Apostles,
mitred with Pentecostal fire"
emerged from the cenacle at Jeru-
salem to inaugurate the missionary
work Of the Catholic Church. It
may not inaptly be regarded as
the natal hay of Christianity in
as much as it was on Pentecost
that the Holy Ghost came down
upon the Apostles and strength
ened them for the fulfilment Of the
divine commission to go forth
and preach the gospel to every
creature. 1t was not the first
time that the Holy Spirit had
breathed upon mankind; but
never before had His operation on
human souls been productive of
such marvellous results. Buoyed
up by the consciousness of this
Divine Presence the Apostles went
forth and conquered the pagan
world to the religion of Jesus
Christ.
And since their day, those who
came after them in the long line OF
the Christian Priesthood have re.
lied upon the same Paraclete In
the propagation of the true faith
A cursory reading of the history
of the Church furnishes evidence
of the success with which this
work has been prosecuted during
all the ages. As Catholics we owe
a deep debt of gratitude to the
Holy Spirit for the wonders which
have been wrought through Hi.
ministration not only in every
land but In every soul. Each ONT
may look into his own soul anC
realize that, without the sustaining
power of divine grace, he would
mot have been able to make
progress in the spiritual life ane
Overcome the thousand and on,

which his pathway to higher
| things has been beset.

Holy Spirit and beg His continued
assistance in the work of personal
sanctifcation. Without His guild
ance, without His sustaining
power, our greatest efforts to reach
perfection will be unavailing.
With His help our feeblest en-
deavors are more fruitful in spiri-
tual results than all the forces of
nature in their unfettered might.
'The spirit breatheth where it
listeth" it is true; but it finds its
way, as it were instinctively, into
the heart that is pure and brings
thither all that this life affords of
foretaste Of the things that are
above. The marvellous operations
of the Holy Spirit in the heart pre-
pared to receive His graces and to
profit by them cannot be described
in words even by lips cleansed
with a burning coal, as were those
of Isaias. Nevertheless, the truly
christian soul realizes them in a
measure, and is moved to labor
more assiduously for the preserva-
ton of that union with God
through which alone these gifts
are bestowed in most copious
measure. At this holy season we
should pray with the Church
Come Holy Ghost fill the hearts of
the faithful and enkindle in them
the fire Of Thy divine love.

CATHOLIC WOMEN AND
DIVORCE.

~% ~%S~~As
Two recent incidents are worthy
Of note as evidences Of the watch
fulness Of Catholic women in re-
gard to whatever affects the well
fare Of the family in lands other
than our own in which divorce
laws are either pending or in ef-
feet. They show that Catholic
women recognize their right to
raise their voices in protest
against whatever would endanger
the permanence of home ties and
family life. The force of their
protest is enhanced by the fact
that those against whom it is
raised know that they express the
teaching Of the Catholic Church
on this all-important question, so
vital to the peace and perpetuity
of society.
The Assembly of the Philippine
Islands had before it for consid-
Grafton a divorce bill. The Cath
Ollie ladies Of Manila prepared and
presented to the legislators petit
ton in which they protested
against the passage Of the meas
ure. In the petition they say:
eve, the undersigned Philip
pine ladies, who love our country
with our whole soul, and who are
deeply interested in all that con-
Germs it's welfare, beg to inform
your honorable assembly that we
have seen with surprise and alarm
one of your members arise to pro-
pose law which strikes mortal
blow at one of our most venerated
institutions, which for centuries
has been the pride Of our race, the
foundation-stone Of our national
ity, and the source of the honor
of the Philippine people. We can
not conceive how the mortal or
material welfare of the people OF
these islands can be promoted by
a law which aims at the dissolu.
ton Of that bond which is the
most solid guarantee of order, OF
the morality Of the family, and
which secures the proper educa.
ton Of the children of ou1
country"
A similar protest comes from
another Catholic land-Soutf
) America. Last year, it appears
| the government of Ecuador pro
mulgated divorce law Of which
the principal provision was thai
marriage contract could be dis
solved with the mutual consent Of
the parties to it. The Hierarchy
of Ecuador issued letter in which
they stigmatized the law as al
| attack upon morality. The mos
distinguished ladies in the lane

that "when the foes of honor ant
