Gods Open Door.

There's Il dear old Irish saying
That is murmured DER and DER,
when dmsfortunes close around you
Shure God leaves an open door,"
Oh, the blessed faith of Ireland
That descends through all the years!
Oh, the loving trust and patience,
That can drive away all fears!
For when trials come upon us,
Disappointments sad and sore,
Seek we still with hope and courage,
Seek and find His open door.
And it's JOY to know in passing,
When this earthly strife is Ger,
High in heaven waits Our Father,
Holds for us the open door.

AbsoIution to Elevator Victim.

Samuel Swift, window cleaner, got
his legs caught just above the ankle
between an electric ash hoist and the
top of a door casing that led from the
cellar into a shaft in the West Side
bank, New York city, one day recent
ly, and for nearly two hours police
men and firemen, after making tour
niquets to keep him from bleeding to
death, worked with axes, saws, SHOW
els and monkey wrenches to get him
free.
Doctors gave him injection after in.
lection of morphine, but he never lost
consciousness nor got a seconds ease
from the frightful pains. His left leg
was nearly several and his right leg
was badly crushed.
Rev. John Lane was told of the &C
cident, hurried to the bank, and be
tween the mans screams, gave him
absolution and extreme JUNCTION.
Finally the poor man was liberated
from the clutch of the lift and taken
to hospital, where one leg was am
putated and an effort was begun tc
save the other one.

jurisdiction which he possesses in the
whole world.
The territorial sovereignty of the
Pope had for it's object to guarantee
his personal sovereignty. When revo-
luton took from him his temporal
power, it committed an unqualfable
violence; a sacred right was violated
and one OF the precious guarantees of
independence was robbed from him.
Even yet that Roman question is not
ended but awaits it's only honorable
solution.
But whatever be it's outcome, the
personal sovereignty of the Pope cam
not be put aside, nor can it depend
upon his territorial sovereignty.
Whether his independence be guaran-
teed ky an independent State or not,
the Pope will still be sovereign, and
will be recognized as such by the
Powers as long as he remains the reli-
gious head of the Catholics of the
whole world.

Sacrificing Their Lives.

All the lepers who belong to the
United States do not live at Molokai
and there are other Father Damiens
IN the flesh today. On the Mississippi
river, sixty miles north Of New Or
leans, there dwell seventy poor hu-
mans in a living death.
No escape is possible for them.
Theirs is well nigh solitary confine-
ment, simply to wait the end. Bene-
dlctlne monks and nuns manage the
| colony. Their lives are consecrated to
the work just as Father Damien's was
In far away Hawaii. At their head is
Father keenan,; assisting him is Sis
ter Benedicta, one of the nuns who
was driven from France when the Gov
eminent stepped in and took the con-
vents.
She fled to this country and asked
for some religious work to do. She
was assigned at once to the leper COL
ony, and there she Is now helping the
poor unfortunates. 1t is her care to
see that their tortured lives are made
as pleasant as possible.
The colony has not been there long.
but fifteen have already died and there
are as many more who will go soon.
1t is the work Of the good priests and
sisters to sec that the doomed ones
can forget. They arrange entertain
ments, make up croquet parties, take
long walks and drives, and do any,
thing to amuse the poor unfortunates
VINO must stay there until they go to
their graves.
But best of all is the leper choir,
Those who have voices and n knowl-
edge of music sing in the church regu-
larly, and the practice they receive In
singing Is part Of the plan to help
them forget their doom.

VuIgarity In Women.

One of the saddest days in the life
of man who is naturally refined and
properly educated comes when he is
dlsillusloned about women, says the
Western World. In his boyhood his
mother was his queen and his ideal
OF all womanhood, his sisters he re-
garded as superior beings because of
their sweet, pure lives which shed an
added halo around his own young life.
IN the home he knew only his mother
and his sisters and from them he
learned to think highly of women in
general, to be convinced that woman.
KIND was all that is best and gentless
and kindest and most modest and
most lovable in the human race. He
knew no other women but those of

character Indeed, what slight faults

him they possessed nothing but yir-

mlngles with the world; he reads and
hears of women who are different
from those who In childhood and
youth We're his ideals. At first his
awakening is surprise and gives him
a shock, but his experience makes
MIN grow accustomed to noting the
dlHerence between refined women
anu those who are not refined. Now
ana then he meets and observes wo.

Chaucer of Wales. This was his last
great work Owing to ill-health he
had to give up the joint editorship of
the "Zeitschrift," which is now edited
solely by Prof. Meyer. 1t is a sad coin
cidence that the first news that greet
ed DR.. Meyer on his arrival in Berlin
a day or two ago was that his old
friend and fellow worker had just
passed away. OF him Prof. Meyer
says: "He is a great loss to Celtic
studies, for he had acquired much Of
a kind of rare knowledge which no one
else possessed or is likely to acquire
SO soon.' Prof. Stern was known to
many clergymen and laymen from
Ireland who have studied In Berlin
In recent years, and his death will be
regretted by these students and by all
who are interested in the progress of
Irish studies.

Berlin. He was a noted Egyptologist
before he took up Celtic studies He
spent many years in Egypt, and on
his return to Germany he founded the
German Psychological Society. A
Coptic grammar which he compiled
and published is said to be the best
book of its kind in existence. A chance
circumstance diverted his attention to
Celtic studies, and, having become in
terested in the subject, he pursued it
with the thoroughness which had
characterized his previous studies. Un-
like most of the other Celtic scholars
OF the Continent, his interest in Irish
lay more in the modern language than
in Old and Middle Irish, though he
was also familiar with these branches
of the subject. and made use CT his
knowledge of the older forms of the
language in the explanation Of modern
Irish texts which he edited.
His most important work for modern
Irish was his edition of Merriman's
famous poem, "The Midnight Court"
the first critical edition of this work
ever published. This work filled from
pages one hundred and ninety-three
to four hundred and fifteen of the

Cardinal capecelatro III.

The College of Cardinals has con-
tanned many grand old men, but few
cardinals, Italian or other, have been
more beloved than Cardinal Capecel-
afro, Archbishop of Capua. At this
moment he is seriously ill. His death
would reduce the college to As, low
er number of members than the rec
ords show for a thousand years. 1t
will also diminish the Italian strength
of the college, already so small that
it could not, if there were really any
attempt to elect pope not an Italian,
control the situation.
The cardinal is almost SO years of
age. For years he has been known
as the great scholar of the Catholic
Church. His writings are among the
ablest any Catholic writer ever put
forth. They are on theological, Bibli-
cal research, and Catholic Church his
tory. The famous cardinal has
known how to use tact in dealing with
different elements in church and state
without compromising his position.
One of the last acts he performed
was to bless the troops leaving for
Tripoli. He is statesman, a patriot,
splendid type of Christian manhood
and literary genius.
His literary works are written in
such perfection of style that even
Conducci, the great Italian poet, pro-
nounced him among the greatest au-
thors of his time. Probably his great
est single work was the life and writ
ings of St. Catherine of Sienna. Only
few days ago he wrote to a friend
In Vienna urging the necessity of a
revival Of CHRISTIAN art on a broader
and more refined basis. He closed
the letter with these words: IF we
should all try to persuade the Cath
ole people that the celestial light of
beauty which emanates from our
works of art can ennoble and sane
tffy, what benefit would come to our
souls! How much easier it would be
to draw near. in our minds and hearts
to the eternally beautiful

noted cardinal celebrated the twenty
fifth anniversary of his elevation tc

women today in the world than there
have ever been before? And in this
great free country, are not the num-
bers of vulgar women becoming ex-
ceedingly large? There are refined
people, men and women, but they are
given to aloofness because of their
refinement, while the vulgar people
catch the ear and attract the eye at
every turn and fill the newspapers
with their noisy and disgusting af-
fairs. Women may be growing more
Independent and self-reliant in this
age, but are they not doing so largely
