FLOWERS AND SAINTS.

There is scarcely flower that
grows that is not hallowed by appro-
priation to some saint. The yellow
crocus is sacred to st. Valentine, the
double daisy to st. Margaret of Hun
gary, the yellow star of Bethlehem to
st. Joseph, primroses to St. Agatha,
the Marigold to the AnnunciatiOn, the
cowslips to st. Catherine of Sienna,
the yellow rattle and yellow cistus OF
SIS. Peter and Paul. The beautiful
white corn feverfew was the flower OF
st. Anne, the sweet violet that of St
Gertrude, the dainty harebell that OF
st. Dominic, the Christmas rose that
of St. Agnes. The dandelion, st. Ber'
nard of Clairvaux; the purple convol
volus, Our Lady of Mount Carmel; the
sunflower, st. Bartholomew; the rho
dodendron, st. Augustine Cor Austin)
Apostle of England; pinks, st. Nor
bert; early daffodils, st. Thomas
Aquinas; Canterbury bells, Sir Thorn
as A Beckett; and the sweet little
shamrock of Ireland, st. Patrick.
The calceolavia's little, velvety
bag-shaped blossoms procured for
them many hundreds of years ago the
popular appellation of "Our Lady'a
Pickets." The lily is the special prop
erty of "The Lily of Israel" our sweet
est name of the Blessed Virgin, and
the snowdrop is the flower of Purifica
ton. The red anemones of Petra that
bloom in Palestine are touchingly
called "Christ's Blooddrops," and "the
lilies of the field" alluded to SO ten
derby by our Divine Lord Himself
seem almost certainly to have beer
the scarlet Martagon or Byzantiun
lily, or else a species of golden am
aryllis.

A SAINT FOR THE WEEK.
ST. ALoYsius GoNzAGA.

St. Aloysius, the eldest son of Fer
dinand Gonzaga, Marquis of Castig-
lione, was born on the 9th of March,
1868. The first words he pronounced
were the holy names of Jesus and
Mary. When he was nine years OF
age he made vow of perpetual vir-
ginity; and by a special grace was
ever exempted from temptations
against purity. He received his first
Communion at the hands of St.
Charles Borromeo. At an early age he
resolved to leave the world, and in a
vision was directed by our Blessed
Lady to join the Society of Jesus.
The Saints mother rejoiced on learn
ing his determination to become a re-
ligious; but for three years his father
refused his consent At length st.
Aloysius obtained permission to enter
the novitiate on the 25th of November,
1885. He took his vows after two
years and went through the ordinary
course of philosophy and theology.
During his last year of theology a
malignant fever broke out in Rome.
The Saint offered himself for the serv-
ice of the sick, and was accepted for
this dangerous duty. Several of the
brothers caught the fever, and Alloy
sius was of the number. He was
brought to the point of death; but re-
covered, only to fall, however, into
slow fever, which carried him off after
three months. He died, repeating the
Holy Name, a little after midnight,
between the goth and 21st of June on
the octave of Corpus Christi, being
rather more than twenty-three years
of age.
st. Aloysius was wont to say he
doubted whether, without penance
grace would continue to make head
way against nature, which, when not
afflicted and chastised, tends gradu,
ally to relapse into it's old state, losing
the habit of suffering acquired by the
labor of years. 81 am a crooked piece
of iron," he said, "and am come into
religion to be made straight by the
hammer of modification and pen
ance."
Cardinal Bellarmine, the Saints con
lessor, testified that he had never NOR
tally offended God Yet he chastised
his body vigorously, rose at night to
pray, and shed many tears for his
sins. Pray that, not having followed
his innocence, you may yet initiate his
penance.

THE REAL ROMANCE OF LIFE.

For really high romance we must
turn to the saints of the Catholic
Church. The Catholic saint is the
only Ineligible superman, if by super
man we mean being who has con-
quered the moral weaknesses of hui
man nature. The Catholic saint is the
one who obtains the richest return of
life for the remuneration which he
makes And why? 1t is because he is
an expert in sanctity, because he is a
genius in love, having proved to him.
self that love cannot be satisfied by
the Relative and Transitory but only
by the Absolute and Eternal.
In the Catholic ideal the contract
of marriage is raised to the dignity of
a sacrament. The mutual love be-
tween husband, and wife and child is
no mere carnal bond binding the fam
lily to the home on earth, but rather a
triple cord of the invisible spirit bind
ing the family to the spirit world. In
the Catholic ideal the vow of virginity
cuts away the joys of family life, sac
rifices the honor and glory of bringing
children into the world and educating
them for the Kingdom of heaven. But
for what reason? Only in order that
the spirit may be more free to foster
the spirit life in itself and in others.
What the virgin sacrifices in the joy
and glory of bodily generation, she
gains a hundred fold in the joy and
glory of spiritual generation.
If we want to see the explicit rela-
tionship of passion to the spirit world
we must turn to the annals of saint
ship Fortunately the deeds of the
saints speak for themselves. We can
go to the quaint simple variations of
Butler and learn sufficient of the facts
of the saints lives and through the
facts catch something of their spirit.
But there is an enormous debt due to
the saints that their stories should be
told worthily However, a beginning
has been made. Francis Thompson
has given us setting for ST. Ignatius
and John Ayscough has revealed to us
San Celestino We want many more
love stories of this kind. When the
saints are better known, when they
are presented truthfully and graceful
ly, then will be seen who are the real

Adele Day spoke alphabetically and
looked from one to another of her
guests as though to explain that they
must not expect too much "You re-
member that my uncle left his real
collection, the famous coins, the CON-
plete coinage of the United States, of
Greece and Rome, to the museum.
What he left to me was what he
called the coins of sentiment about
two dozen gold, silver and copper
pieces, each one connected with a
story or legend. They are very in
teresting, especially to me, but they

She stopped on her way across the
room to the inlaid box that held her

box was neither large nor heavy, for
he always wanted to help her and be
near her. He had been in Japan on
important business for a large manu-.

a BELIEVE IN GOD"

BY these words, II believe in God"
we profess our belief that there is a
God and that we believe all that this
God would have us know. We hope
in Him as the object of our love. Our
reason leads us to God, but by the
creed we profess belief in the exis-
tence of a God as matter of faith.
But man needs to know other than
by reason, which in many respects is
limited to small number, while the
knowledge that is given to us by faith
is accessible to ALL The light of faith
reveals God fully to us while those
who have known God only by natural
reason and the wonders of the visible
world, have ignored His nature and
many of His essential PROJECTIONS.
Human philosophy, guided by natural
intelligence, arrives at the existence
and perfection of God only by most
circuitous routes and by great diff
Guilty. Faith, on the contrary, carries
us, as it were, into divinity ITSELF
believe in God. Faith enlightens our
mind, fills it as it were with divine
splendor in order to allow it to con-
template God, the eternal source OF
all light, and after that, all that is
created by God. I believe in God
means that I believe that God is true
in His word, faithful in His promises,
: infallible in His designs, infinitely
wise and infinitely good, incapable of
deceiving Himself, of being deceived,
Of
God is the source of all truth and the
Father of light, both in the order of
nature and in the order of faith. If
| believe in God I must approach God
in order to be enlightened. Then His
word must take the place of all proofs
and leave no doubt. Hence / believe
in God because it is my faith in this
first truth, which is the foundation OF
belief in all the truths of religion.
But God calls us not alone to believe
in Him as the sovereign truth, but
also to attach ourselves to Him, by
love as the sovereign goodness. ST
Augustine says, "To believe in Him is
to unite oneself with Him." and he
adds, "The demons believe and &C
knowledge Him; they are convinced
by the evidence of the truth. To be-
lieve that His word is true is belief
common to holy souls and to large
number of wicked ones, but when it
means to believe IN HIM there are
only those who love Him and their
works show them to be Christians"
To believe in God then means belief
of heart, faith full of love and &C.
i companied by the works which love
produces. 1t is this faith which
makes the good Christian, because it
is by it that one hates the world and
it's pleasures and gains victory over
the enemies of God. ST. Augustine
says also, "To believe in God is to
believe and love at the same time: it
is to believe by loving and to love by
believing. 1t is to regard God as our
sovereign good and to tend toward
Him by love. This is the faith that
God demands from us and it makes the
life of the just man. 1t is this faith
of which the wise man speaks when he
says-he who believes in God keeps
His commandments. This is the faith
of the apostles and martyrs and all
the saints of Cod We should strive
to excite in us the sentiments Of this
loving faith when we pronounce those
strong, beautiful wordsI believe in
God.

UNDER ONE SPECIES.

The practice in the Catholic Church
of giving Holy Communion under one
species only, that of bread, to the
laity, is frequently attacked by those
outside the church. If we examine
the history of this practice, however,
says Canadian Extension, we will see
that these critics are very foolish in
their conclusions. In the early church
we find that reception under any one
kind was held as sufficient for the per-
feet reception of the Sacrament. In
fants, after baptism, were communi-
Gated under the species of wine only.
In times of persecution, the faithful
were often permitted to take the spe-
cies of bread to their homes, and adj
minister communion to themselves
and their families under one kind
alone. This practice also obtained
with regard to the sick. Church dis
cipline in the matter had to be varied
according to circumstances. Thus
the Manichean heretics abstained
from receiving the cup, on the prin-
ciple that wine was evil.
In the days of this heresy the
Church made it necessary by law for
everyone to communicate under both
species, that these secret heretics
might be exposed. Later on, the risk
of accidents to the chalice, of splitting
the Precious Blood, the danger of con-
tagion, and questions of reverence
and personal cleanliness, caused the
use of one kind only, that of bread, to
be allowed to the laity. 1t was not,
however, until a sect arose which in
sisted on the necessity of both kinds,
that the Church, in protest, and in
defense of doctrinal principle, made
| it law that only one kind should be
distributed.
In the course of controversy with
Protestants the text q Cor. XII. 2D,
whatsoever shall eat this bread, or
drink the chalice of the Lord unworth,
ily," etc., has been used to prove the
need of both kinds. But this argu'
ment fails because their Authorized
| Version has misled it's readers by
using "and'' where it should read 'or.' .
Protestant scholars admit this rem
dering to be an error, and they have
corrected it in the Revised Version "
Catholics feel no grievance in being
confined by the Church to receiving
only one kind, since under either kind
they know that they truly receive
communion with the living Christ
whole and entire, which is the very
idea of this sacrament They know
too, that both species are necessary in
the celebration of the Eucharist as a
commemoration of Christ's Passion in
the Sacrifice of the mass, for the pur
pose of the two species is found in the
mystic representation of Christ's
death signifed thereby

you will be surprised to compare
this import duty with others: Sugar,
1871 per cent; champagne, 20 per cent

THE duty which the United States
exacts on the import Of raw sugar
holds up the price of the beet sugar,
as well as the cane sugar, for the gen.
tlemen who are manufacturing beet

panies have stated, as l am informed,
that they can produce beet sugar at
from 21a to cents per pound. They
sell at from 5 to cents.

in California the beet sugar is sold
just under the price of the cane sugar
and the cane sugar, although it is
manufactured from Hawaiian raw
sugar, which is admitted free of duty
costs the consumer the New York
price of refined sugar, plus the
freight. In short, the beet sugar peo-
pie use the tariff to exact the utter
most penny for their product,
I'm Utah the beet refners exact the
full price of the San Francisco mar
ket, plus the freight across the Rocky
mountains. Everywhere the beet
sugar manufacturer takes full advant-
age of the tariff tax and it results
that the people of the United States
pay to the government on the cane
sugar and to the beet sugar barons on
tho beet sugar. The saving to the
American people on the sugar con-
sumed last year, if the tax were re-
moved, would amount to almost $780,
100000. "a
The beneficiaries Of the duty are
planters of cane in the Hawaiian
Islands, Porto Rico, Louisiana and the
Philippines, and the manufacturers Of
domestic sugar. We are taxed for the
benefit of Louisiana and the domestic

ARBUCKLE CALLS SUGAR

NEW. YORK, Oct. 12.-Just before

buckle, the sugar refiner and coffee
manufacturer, issued a statement
strongly attacking the tariff on raw
sugar, declaring it to be wicked

interests. In his statement Arbuckle
said:
Il am going abroad to rest and re-
cuperate in preparation for the fight
to be made in Congress at its next
session for free sugar. l propose to
devote all my time, ability and
strength to the abolition of all i'm
port duties on raw sugar, a most
wicked tax on a food necessity of all
our people. 1t taxes the man who
works for a wage of 81 a day as much
as it taxes any Astor or Morgan or
Rockefeller. Each eats, or at least
needs, the same amount of sugar, and
they pay, not according to their abil-
ity, but according to their needs, re-
versing an elemental rule of taxa
