The Sheep flock.

Few lines of work offer greater fnan-
cial returns for the capital invested
than a good flock Of breeding sheep.
This Is especially tr1e when good NUT
ton conformation is combined with
long. dense. fine fleece. The question
Of constitution is very important In
sheep. In selecting rams blockiness.
low-set-ness, wide backs, loins and
heavy, well filed hind quarters should
be always demanded. The head should
be broad and masculine In appearance,
the neck short and the shoulder broad
and compact The legs should be short
and straight, especially at the hooks.
The skin should be pink in color and
the fleece long. dense, fine and uni
form on all parts of the body. Too

about ten to twelve pounds of silage

Two young Kansas farmers last win

ing spent 100 days in the feed lot, says
the Iowa Homestead.
The cattle which established the rec
ord consisted of high grade Shorthorn
two-year -olds. which averaged 915
pounds In weight at the time they were
bought. These steers were wintered
on wheat straw supplemented by
shocked corn. About the first OF May
the animals went out on grass weigh

the winter had been to merely main

attempting TO develop any pronounced
gains. All through the summer the
beeves ran on blue grass and clover
pasture, and on the Sd OF October. when
they were put in the feed lot. they av-
eraged 1.273 pounds.

There is something pathetic in
the stories told by the survivors
Of the last moments Of the Titanic
when the giant ship was trembling
on the crest of the wave before
taking her final plunge into the
depths of the ocean. They convey
lesson that concerns more people
than will ever stand face to face
with death by the laundering Of a
ship-a lesson that is applicable to
each and every one of us. The at
titude towards the hereafter Of
these people who stood face to face
with death is an object lesson to
all of us, for one day we, like them,
will be called upon to face the
same dread inevitable. How did
the doomed passengers on the Tt
tanic act in that supreme moment
when they realized that all things
earthly were about to pass away
as far as they were concerned,
and that ere long they would be
summoned into the presence of
their Maker? What did they do
then? What were their thoughts

Last Sunday was Mothers Day
in Minnesota. Governor Eberhart
issued a proclamation in which he
referred to this recent fad as a
"beautiful custom Of setting apart
one day in each year to pay trib-
ute to our Mothers" Many of the
non-Catholic churches observed it
with appropriate services. The
mothers Of this nation who have
the right kind of children do not
need the gushing encomiums which
this day called forth to assure
them that they occupy sacred
shrine in the hearts Of their chill
dren not only on one day of the
year but every day. If we pay the
proper tributes of respect and love
to our mothers at all times they
will not suffer for want Of a spe-
cial day set apart for that purpose.

The so-called "Guardiai of Lib

The so-called "Guardian of Lib
erty' held their first convention
recently in Boston. General
Miles, the principal speaker, per-
sisted in maintaining that the pur-
pose Of the organization was not
to make war upon any political
party or religious creed, or to de-
prive any citizen Of his rights or
privileges, but to stand guardian
over the institutions we have in
herited and the principles Of the
Constitution Of the United States
under which we are enjoying the
greatest blessings of any people
in the world. It is charitable to
suppose that the poor old General
has reached that period of life
when the mental faculties lose
their vigor, else how account for
the fact, that he cannot compre-
bend the purpose Of the organiza,
ton, so plainly set forth in the
eighth article of it's constitution,
which says: eve maintain it to
be inconsistent with and destruc-
tive Of free government to ap,
point or elect to political or mill
tary office any person who openly
or secretly comedies superior au,
thority to any foreign political, OF
ecclesiastical power whatsoever. >
If this is not directed against
Catholics will the General take
advantage Of an early opportunity
to explain just what it means.

ALcoHoLIZED NATIONS.

Scandinavia is gradually beginning
to recover the political prestige which
the forefathers of the modern Swedes
claimed for nearly 900 years, culml-
mating during the Thirty Years war,
when the victories of Gustavus Adolf
plus decided the fate OF northern
Europe. A century after the battle Of
Lutzen, Sweden was still match for
any conner, but from that time the
star of her glory began to decline, and
IL is a remarkable fact that the era
of the most complete eclipse COIN
cides with the period when the maxi
mum OF intemperance was represented
by the monstrous total Of $4,000 dis
tilleries to a population of less 4,000,-
600. The Gothenberg system liz at
best compromise, but it's union with
numerous active temperance societies
has, after all, begun to regenerate a
nation which, like the Indian of Hud-
son Bay territory, was for time ex-
posed to the peril OF actually perish

ASCENSION THURSDAY.

During this week the Feast of
the Ascension, which the Church
observes as a holyday of obliga-
ton, recalled to our minds the
closing incident in the earthly
career of our Saviour. He had
fulfilled His mission, He had
proved His divine character. He
had founded His Church, He had
commissioned His Apostles to con-
tinue the work inaugurated by
Him and as a final pledge of His
abiding love for them he babe
them return to Jerusalem to await
the coming of the Holy Ghost who
would strengthen them to declare
His Gospel "in Jerusalem and in
all Judea, and Samaria, and even
to the uttermost part of the
earth 1t was the last message
that issued from the lips Of the
Saviour prior to His ascension into
heaven.
The ascension of our Lord
marked the re-opening of the
gates of heaven which had been
closed against mankind by the
sin of our first parents. With him
there entered into that abode of
eternal happiness the souls of the
sanity men and women who had
lived and died prior to His advent
upon earth, the souls of those
whom He had visited in their
prison-house in Limbo to announce
to them the close of their weary
years of waiting.
Each year in commemoration
of this great event His faithful
followers strive to ascend to a

THE REGINA C0EL|
Legend of Its Origin-It 10 Substituted
for the Angelus During the Time
of Easter.

The "Angelus," which the faithful
are asked to recite three times day
at the sound of the bell in honor of
the Mother of God, gives place during
Easter time to another salutation
more appropriate to the season, and
known as the Regina Coeli." The
"Angelus" shows us Mary in her hui.
mility listening to the words of the
Archangel and submitting her will to
the will of her Creator in the great
mystery of the incarnation; the IRE.
gina Coeli'' bids the Virgin-Mother
rejoice with her Divine Son in His
triumph over sin and death.
History has nothing to say about
the authorship of this beautiful an
them. According to a legend it has a
heavenly origin like the Hail Mary, for
it's first three lines were sung by the
angels ION a certain Easter morning
in Rome while st. Gregory the Great
was walking barefoot in a great re-
ligious procession" The saint, rapt
in ecstacy, is said to have added
the fourth line: "Ora pro nobis Deum,
Alleluia." pray to God for us, Allie
luia.) Whatever truth there is in this
legend, it is certain that the Regina
Coeli" was found in the Franciscan
Breviary in the twelfth century and
soon became popular everywhere, and
was afterwards substituted for the
'Angelus. Whereas the "Angelus"
is said kneeling, except on Saturday
evening and Sunday, the Regina
Coeli" is recited standing every day
throughout the season of Easter.
The Latin composition of this anti
phon forms a charming rhythm which
is not found in the English version.
In fact, all the hymns of the Church
are beautifully written and some are
even masterpieces of literature. Ac-
cording to Battiffol, who wrote Ellis
tory Of the Roman Breviary," 1--WE owe
debt of gratitude to those who gave
us the antiphons of the Blessed Vir-
