on both sides OF the great river were
the shacks where the wops live
The wops compose the genus. the

Austrians, the last having as varieties,

restrict the term wop to one

as he distinguishes between the hobo

A Confusion Of christmases.
A mar went among the wops on
Christmas morning armed with a
notebook, some pockets full OF candy
and a manner full of the Christmas
cheer which knows no language nor
any international boundaries.

not? The answer is simple. The

Dodging the Truant officer.

Nobody much was astir.. The
shacks were all quiet and closed. The
man with the notebook and the smile
knocked at a door and was told to
enter by half dozen voices. Five or
SIX men were sitting around board
table on which we're two big bottles
OF wine and one loaf of coarse bread:
They were asked where some chill
dren lived. but they could not under
stand Six of them at once could
not understand.

the word bambino brought all to their
feet shouting at once:
"Bambino; 81; tirteen; tirteen,. So
to shack thirteen the search was con-
tinued. But not before the visitor
had been pressed to drink some of the
wine. 1t was better wine than one

the way.

Where Candy Was unrecosnized.


A child's voice babe the visitor

thirteen. 1t was a board villa of two
rooms. Three children stood on two
chairs against the table-there was
about an inch difference in their
heights, and the eldest was about FIVE
years old-and in the cradle in cor
ner was the cutest, prettiest, cum
ningest smallest, little baby you ever
saw, wrapped up tight in a roll with
only its bright eyes and beautiful face
visible. Just beyond the door of the
other room woman rubbed Clothes on
a. washlboard without ceasing.
AS introducing the most universal
language. the visitor used only the
word Christmas and threw handful
OF candy on the table before the chill
dren. Not child reached for it, or
seemed to be interested in it, except a
fifth youngster, ranking Just above the
baby who ran from the mother at the
washtub and was eager for some OF
the candy evidently chiefly on ac-
count of the bright colors.
A whole family of children who did
not know candy when they saw 1t on
Christmas morning!

Father Notebaert is also making ar
rangements to secure Belgian priests
to take up mission work, amongst
their own countrymen in the United
States.
To get an idea of how much is to
be done, Father Notebaert himself
has gone, as a representative OF the
Belgian and Holland Priests Associa-
ton into great many places where
he found Belgians, in particular, who
had not practiced their religion since
coming to America. In Michigan, he
found six groups of Belgians of this
kind, and heard five hundred confess
sions, most of them of many years
standing. In Michigan, there is a
new Belgian colony, founded through
the Association, which will be occu-
pied by two hundred Belgian fami-
lies. Father Jodocy, one of the Elk
ecutive Committee of the Belgian and
Holland Priests Association, has
been doing wonders in this way. Do,
nations are made by the Land Com,
pany for parish buildings and for the
payment of the salary of the priest
for five years, as well as a donation
of three hundred and thirty acres fol
the establishment of an Agricultural
institute. Both the Association Of
Belgian and Holland Priests and the
Church Extension Society, to which
it is affiliated, may be congratulated
on the excellent work which is being
done so quietly, but persistently, tt

gift, which was given in memory of
the late Reverend John A. Wagner,
of Phoenixville, Pa, who was a Life
Member of the Society. The amount
was designated as follows: For the
purchase of a building, which is to
be converted into a Church, at Elk

already existing school at Johnson

site and church at Warren, Ark; for
the building of a Church in Baton

isolated parts of this state, and where
there is no possible place of worship;
and to repair the school at Las
Vegas, N. NJ, which has been in
operation since 1888.
This money has no doubt been ap

THE WAY THEY LIVE IN UNYAN-
YEMBE.

Bishop Gerboin, Al. NJ, writing to
us from his vicariate in Equatorial
Africa, describes the dwellings of the
natives in the following manner:
The people live in caves dug out on
the western side of the hills, and thus
protected from the cold east winds.
The proprietor may walk upon the roof
of his house, as upon terrace, and
sometimes, one sees the sheep grazing
or the dogs gambolling thereon.
The interior is supported by posts
and is very low, scarce above the
average height of man. There is
only one entrance. The master of the
house and his family occupy the back
of the cave, which is the warmer part;
The sheep and cattle are sheltered in
the front. There are no windows
Nevertheless, the people seem to be
in excellent health. No patients have
yet presented themselves at the mis-
sion dispensary to ask for medicines
The capital of Iraku Unyanyembe
is situated at Mbulu, a two hours
journey afoot from our station in this
province. Mbulu is the German mill
tary post. Here, also, resides the ma
tive king, Ishara, and hither, traders
from the coasts come to buy the live
stock, and also to smuggle alcohol int
the region.
Ishara is supposed to reign over the
territory, but the region to the soutl
is governed by his mother, who hat

jects and is not so we'll disposed al
her son towards the white people. I
is accordingly to her orders that tn.

and have forbidden them to come t,

CHRISTIANS OF THE JAPANESE
ISLANDS.

Goto means in Japanese the hve
islands, and the district, Of which
Jealous Japanese priest given an &C.
count, is made up of five islands with
a number of smaller ones surrounding
them. They stretch for about fifty
miles. The number of Catholics varies
on the different islands. There are
the descendants of the holy martyrs,
who, during the long prosecutions
which ragged over the whole country
and forced so many to fee for refuge
to other countries. The Catholics are
only one-fifth of the population and
occupy the most fertile parts OF the
islands. All the descendants of the
early Christians are not yet animated
with the Church but each year sees
number of new catechumens.
When this Japanese missionary first
went to Goto there were only four
priests. He was assigned to the north
ern district, which contained 1900
about $4,000 in all. The majority are
souls Today there are eleven small
chapels from two to seven miles apart.
The reason for these chapels is that on
SUNDAYS and feast days the Christians
are not able to gather in any one spot,
partly because of the impossible roads,
partly because of the choppy sea
which at times RACES between the pas
sages of the islands. In every center
catechists, both men and women, on
the Sundays explain Christian doctrine
to the faithful of both sexes. In the
absence of the priest, the old men gov
ern the Christian community in tenn

The faithful are pious, respectful
and submissive to the missionaries. On
the principal feasts of the year they

aries are to give the sacraments. They
carry with them food for two or three
days. At the time of Easter Com
munion they are prepared by the
catechists who spend week at the
task The priests then go to those
places where there are chapels and
after preaching a retreat for four days
hear the confessions of all and give
them Communion. The time for the
annual confession and Communion
commences in September and ends in
July of the following year. The long
period is necessary to give the people
a chance to comply with the law of the
Church.

MtNtSTERING TO CATHOLIC I'M
MIGRANTS.

The Association of Belgian and
Holland Priests, affiliated to the
Church Extension Society, has been, in
a quiet way, accomplishing a great
deal. A report came from the Presi-
dent, the Rev. A. A. Notebaert, of a
visit to Belgium in the interests of
this Association. The work of the
Belgian and Holland priests is to
take care of immigrants from both
Belgium and Holland. The Associa-
ton gets in touch with European So
cieties, so that the immigrants may be
directed to places where they will
have the advantage of a Catholic
Church and School. For those who
have already become scattered, the
Association sends priests to preach
missions in their own language and,
as far as possible, to gather them to
the fold
Father Notebaert went to Belgium
for the purpose of seeing the Euro
pean st. Raphael Society and of Sc
curing the assistance of the Bishops
of Belgium. The same work will be
done in Holland. His report shows
that the Bishops of Belgium are YER
lily alive to the need of cooperating
with the Association in the United
States, SO that their people may not
be lost to the Faith. The matter is
to come up for discussion at the reg
ular meeting of the Bishops of Bel
GUM, in the early part of July, when
they will take practical measures te
assist the American Society.
The plan is for Pastors to direct
intending Immigrants for America tc
