The Sane Fourth of July.

With the approach of the pyrotech-
meal celebration Of independence day.
or the Fourth of July. as il is better
known, the safe and sane" idea looms
up again. In its favor it can be said
that the extraordinary precautionary
measures which were taken by many
cities last year reduced the casualties
TO a minimum. Until the public was
impressed with the ACCESSIBILITY of
eliminating many dangerous features
attending the use of fireworks the
death harvest of the Fourth was APP
palling. This horror list taught its
lesson, and the safe and sane Fourth
was the result. The Titanic sea disas-
ter taught another lesson and has
brought reforms. IT takes something
immense to impress the present gener-
alton. but when it has been impressed
sentiment is SO overwhelming that 4

Who has not learned in hours of faith
The truth to flesh and sense un-
known,
That life is ever lord of death
And love can never lose it's own?
Is it not sweet to think hereafter,
When the spirit leaves it's sphere,
Love with deathless wings shall watt
her
To those she long had mourned for
here?
Hearts from which twas death to
sever,
Eyes this world can ne'er restore,
There as warm, as bright as ever,
Shall meet us and be lost no more.
Oh, if no other boon were given
To keep our hearts from wrong and
stain,
Who would not try to win a Heaven
There all we love shall live again

DUTY TO CATHOLIC PRESS.

If Catholic parents first cultivate
in themselves and then impart to
their children a correct taste in liter
allure, so that only what is best is
enjoyed or tolerated, they will be pro-
tecting their homes from the greatest
danger Of these times, the plague of
indiscriminate reading, says w. D., in
America"
Those, moreover, who staunchly
support Catholic editors and authors
may feel assured that they are doing
more to stay the spread of irreligion
and immortality in our land than il
they built score of churches, for
Catholic books and periodicals can
be made to reach and influence those
who never enter church. To coun-
teract also the harm being done by
that deluge of bad books and maya
zines that is daily pouring from the
press, our boys and girls must be
taught betimes to value properly the
excellent work Catholic authors and
editors are doing. For read our chill
dren will, that is certain. Then let us
teach them to read what is good.

LOYALTY TO ONES PASTOR.

Be loyal to your pastor. His work
is to administer to your soul, not to
please you. When his work is done
God will remove him. Until then do
all you can to uphold his hands. Be
regular in attendance at church serv-
ices, and not satisfied with simply one
service a week. Bear your fair share
of the financial burdens of the parish.
Do all in your power to promote
peace and good will among your fell
low laborers. Be not harsh in your
judgment of others. Look within. Do
not gossip. Learn what the Church
teaches and requires. Take a Church
paper. Show constant respect and
Difference to those set over you In the
Lord. Perform the duty that may be
assigned to you with cheerfulness
and promptness, unto the Lord" Aim
to be useful, not prominent or con-
spicuous. Show a deep personal in
terest in the spiritual welfare of your
children. Especially take care' that
they be given Catholic education.
Give these rules fair trial, and watch
the result.

CHlLDREN'S PETS.

It is worth while to think, some
times, that in making a child happy
you are not only working for the
present moment, but are helping to
store up pleasant memories which
shall brighten the days of care and
darkness which the future will surely
bring.
Let your children have pets if they
are willing to take good care of them,
not grudgingly nor of necessity, but
with that sympathetic kindness which
shows the true mother-love.
If you happen to be one of those
unfortunate people who dislike ami
mails, it will require self-denial and
patience on your part, but it will be
worth while to make the effort. Re-
member, you are cultivating the finest
qualities of your children. Your boys
and girls will grow more gentle, and
thoughtful, and unselfish, and their
love for their pets will strengthen the
ties which bind them to their home
and to each other.

THE CHILDREN'S HOUR.
HOW THE PARTNERSHIP BEGAN

The girl with shade over her eyes
had walked into the wheeled chair be-
fore she knew what she was doing.
Then she recoiled with an exclama-
ton, "Oh, beg your pardon!"
The girl in the wheeled chair look
ed up just as the green shade was
pushed back. Two pairs of eyes, one
blue and blinking, the other brown
and steady met squarely.
ut didn't hurt me any," said the
girl in the wheeled chair. After a
pause she added deliberately: TITS
rather relief to have something hap
pen"
The other girl, pulling the green
shade back in place, looked inter-
ested. That's exactly the way /
feel" she declared. Mother sent one
of the neighbours children over here
with me, but she got interested in
feeding the ducks, and didn't blame
her. Ducks are any amount more in
teresting than a girl who has to be
led around like dog on a string"
They wheeled me over here and
left me-" said the girl in the chair.
There isn't anybody at my house
who can take time to wheel me
around the park. Mother doesn't keep
a girl, and my sisters all work down
town"
