GODS CALL.

BOOM! BOOM! tolled the deep
throated bell. The great Cathedral
was packed to the doors. The sanctu-
airy was filled with surpliced priests,
with Monsignori and Bishops in pur-
pie, and one Archbishop. The altar
and sanctuary and vast cathedral were
heavily draped in purple. The cele-
brant, with deacon and sub-deacon
was at the foot of the altar, the beau
tiful organ broke out in sad, wailing
strain. The Mass of Requiem was
about to begin for the beloved Bishop
who, having attained his three-score
years and ten, had laid down the bur-
den of life we'll spent in the service
of his Master, and had gone to that
reward so richly deserved.
No one observed the aged woman
who sat far back in side aisle clad
in deep mourning. She wept, but all
around her wept also, and If her tears
seemed more bitter, as though forced
from her by a great personal sorrow,
none noticed.
She had come early to the church,
and, standing by the bier, had gazed
with ineffable sorrow, yet with resig-
nation, at the calm and holy features
of the dead Bishop, then she had to
make room for others who were
crowding up, his own people. who de-
sired to take farewell look at their
beloved Bishop; she was stranger
and people wondered why she should
SO long monopolize the best place.
She moved away and took seat
far down in a side aisle; and now
Mass was going on, she tried to pray
but could only weep.
The preacher ascends the pulpit, a
| bishop of great renown from far
away diocese. He tells of the holy
life, of the zeal of the prelate who
lies dead in their midst OF his early
days of hardship when he was young
missionary. OF his fame later on as a
preacher, of his success as a pastor
and finally of his forty-four years of
priesthood, for twenty of which he
had been the jealous and beloved
Bishop of this diocese
But what does the preacher say
now? From his tenderest years he
heard the voice of his Master calling
him: from his boyhood he had con-
secrated himself to God by an earnest
desire to become priest"
| All! no one in that vast concourse,
no one in all the wide world but that
sweet-faced, sorrowful-looking woman
bent with years and patient suffering,
knew Of the sacrifice that loving
hearts made nigh upon half a century
ago. And she alone, as usually falls
to the lot of women, had borne the
weight of that sacrifice through all
these long, weary years; patiently and
lovingly had she borne it, and she felt
that her sacrifice had been as agree
able to God as his. But she must not
allow her mind to dwell upon this
now; she must listen to the conclud
ing words Of praise of the long life
now ended. Then followed that great

AMONG THE IN.
DAMS.

DR.. James F. Rymer, M. D., writes
the following in the Catholic Mis-
sions:
Indians are exceedingly SUI
perstitious. This idea is partly cor
rect. The Mackenzie River tribes GER
tainly cling to certain superstitions
with great tenacity, and the majority
of these notions are very ridiculous.
For instance, the Indians will tell
you that if sick person involuntari-
ly rubs his nose, the circumstance
is sure sign that he is going to die.
My attention has frequently been di-
rected to this ominous sign, but
have noticed that, in the majority of
cases, the patient has not died. An
Indian will carry root, or animals
tail in his pouch as talisman to ward
off disease; or he will tattoo one of
his arms, with the same idea. Never
theless, despite this belief in signs
and Omens, I think our Indians are
no more superstitious than are many
white people who have had far greater
opportunities of enlightenment.
In England, Canada and the United
States have visited at homes where
peacock's feathers were not allowed
to be brought in, because, it seems,
among certain superstitious folk, the
plumage of Juno's bird is said to
bring ill-luck. Many other supersti-
tons that obtain credence in the civil
lied world are quite as absurd as any
that exist today, or ever have existed,
among the Indian tribes"

SOCIAL WORKS IN MANcHURIA.

The Gospel compares scribe in
structed in the kingdom of heaven to
a master of a house who bringeth
forth out of his treasure new things
and old.
While holy Church and her mission
aries are, as matter of fact, defend
ing the foundations of the edifice at
the price Of their blood, they go for
ward to create, encourage, and pro-
mote all works which have as their
end, not only the sanetification of
souls, but also the welfare of that
human existence with which God has
gifted us. The following is the letter
of Father Lacquois. missionary in
Mongolia:

of Songhari, are rich and extensive
plains. About twelve years ago, q

HARDsHIPs OF MISSION LIFE IN
ALASKA.

Recent medical statistics speak sor-
rowfully of the ravages of tuberculosis
in Alaska, and call attention again to
the bleak ice-bound territory where
men go in search of gold and often
find death, where dogs take the place
of engines and "mushers" of engi-
neers. 1t is like dreaming a bad dream
to read even the verse which tells
something of the few joys and many
hardships of life in the Yukon.
Few Catholics, we fear, give a
thought to the work so nobly being
done by the priests of Alaska. There
are practically no other priests In the
territory, but Jesuits, who take full
spiritual charge of the country, and
have as Superior Prefect-Apostolic,
the Very Rev. Jos. R. Crimont, S. J.
Sister Mary Amadeus, Superior of
the Ursuline Nuns at st. Michael, has
we'll told one story which sheds a
single ray of light on the history of
missionary hardships in Alaska; so
that at least a part may be clearly
read. It is the story of the death of
Brother Paquin of st. Michaefs mis-
sion. The Brother was the ''heWer OF
wood and drawer of water" for the
Fathers and Sisters. In January, 1911,
he left, with five dogs and load OF
lumber for chapel which the Fathers
were building at Stebbins. A storm
came up, he was caught in it's embrace
and fell asleep forever, with the rosary
which he had tried to kiss before he
died, fallen from his hands. His body
was found stark and stiff, frozen, by an
Indian. Strange to say the dogs
spared him, which is not the custom
of "malamutes" toward the dead. The
dogs, however, were still alive when
the Brother was found, though they
were starving and reduced almost to
skeletons.
The Church Extension Society has
been helping the Fathers to build their
chapels in Alaska; but, alas, things
are so dear at that far-off point that
not only chapels, but everything else
is welcome. The society has even
shipped guns and ammunition to mis-
sionaries there and both were most
acceptable.
The schools, or course, are very
poor, but the Sisters are doing noble
work. The Ursulines at st. Michael
live in a miserable cabin. Perhaps
our own late cold snap will inspire our
people to think of these missionaries
and Sisters in the frozen North. Any
Offering will be gladly transmitted to
the missions by the Society, which
may be reached by a letter addressed
to 1888 Mccormick Bldg, Chicago, Ill.

THE CATHOLIC BULLETIN, FEBRUARY a. 1912

for few days, for / must not fail to
serve at Midnight Mass for dear old
Father Graham, and we can write as
often as the college rules allow"
This was the simple love-making Of
these two innocent hearts.
Arthur came at Christmas, and
again for a longer stay during the
summer vacation. when there were
walks and talks on college life, on
studies, on plans for future ambitions.
Miriam showed her sewing and made
cakes when Arthur came to tea; she
also talked over with him the books
she had been reading and conffded to
him that she was trying little liter
airy work herself. Arthur was de-
lighted at this, and, after reading
some Of her productions, encouraged
her to persevere, telling her how she
could get her stories published.
So the your years went by. and one
day the news was flashed by telegraph
that Arthur had won his B. A. with
honors. His sister came running up
to tell Miriam, and together they re-
joiced. The next day he came home
late in the evening, and Miriam had
to wait until morning to see him. He
was at Mass and served Father Ora
ham. He came out of the church
after Mass just for one moment, and
gave Miriam time to congratulate him.
He seemed grave, but she attributed
that to his thinking of the great
career he was now going to take up
in earnest.
Il am going to have a talk with
Father Graham" he said, land after
breakfast I shall come up to see
YOU" ...
VERY WELL" Miriam replied. She
felt disappointed, but whatever Ar
thur did was, of course, right.
When Arthur arrived at Miriam's
home he had to receive the congratu-
lations of her father and mother; the
sisters were married and gone to dis
tant homes, and the brother was max
ing his fortune in large city.
At length Arthur and Miriam were
free to seek their favorite spot on the
lawn. After a brief silence Arthur
began;
Miriam, I have something so very
serious to say that I hardly know how
to begin. Father Graham says
must tell you at once, even before my
mother or father"
Miriam felt something grip her
heart and a great fear fell upon her,
but she spoke bravely.
Surely, Arthur, you can speak to
me freely, and need not hesitate about
anything you have to say"
This is very different from any
thing you ever heard me say before,
Miriam, and it is difficult to explain.
A great change has come over me
during this last year in college, ever
since the Retreat, in fact My ambi-
ton to make great name in the
world is all gone, my only ambition
now is to save souls. Miriam, I want
to be priest"
The bolt had fallen. Miriam con-
trolled herself, but did not speak.
Arthur continued: ,~.--#-

a vocation; I wrote Father Graham,
and he replied he would talk it over

mise, and I will not fail to redeem it

as great as it ever was, and would

a silver dollar. 1t spread to her eye.
Then water would run from the pim-
pies and wherever that touched 1t caus-
ed more sores until nearly all one
cheek and up. her nostrils were one
solid sore. She was very fretful. She
certainly was terrible looking child,
and nothing seemed to be Of any use.
Then got some Cuticura Soap and
Cuticura Ointment. She tried to rub
off everything we put on SO that we
would sit and hold her hands for two
hours at time, trying to give the
medicine a chance to help her, but

and then put on the Cuticura Oint-

she did not try to rub them off. 1t

JOHNSON DECLARED WINNER
Negro Given Decision Over Flynn After
Both Were Warned Over Their
Style Of Fighting.

Las Vegas, N. NJ. July SACK
Johnson was declared the winner OF
the Johnson-F1ynn battle here Thurs
day, after eight and a fraction rounds
of the foulest fighting ever seen in a
championship contest under Marquis
of Queensberry rules. There had been
no knockdown and few clean blows
throughout the mill.
The end of the conflict came just
after the ninth round had got well un-
der way. The fighters had been
warned repeatedly, Johnson for hold
ing and Flynn for butting when he
could free himself In no other way
from the bearlike hug of the powerful
black
The round started with Flynn rush
ing Johnson like a wild man, only to
run into a clinch, where Johnson
jerked him forward with one strong
arm and uppercut him with the maui
er that was free. In retaliation for
this holding and hitting Flynn brought
into play the billy goat tactics he pre-
viously had used in other rounds. and
they were pulled apart. They were In
the same kind of clinch within few
seconds more, and Referee Smith once
more had to use force in prytng the
chalk apart from the cinder.
The referee started another lecture
to both men, while the blood-thirsty
mob yelled for him to let them go on
and fight. 1t was then that the state
of New Mexico in the person OF one
Capt. Fred Fernoff, chief Of state po-
lice, took charge of matters and put a
stop to the fight.
Los Angeles. Cal, July 6.-For IL
rounds Ad Wolgast and Joe Rivers
fought like catamounts in their light
weight championship battle at Vernon
arena Thursday afternoon. In the
thirteenth there came a blow which
landed low and both boys in an instant
were sprawling and writhing upon the
floor.
Wolgast was declared the winner by
Referee Jack Welsh. Then bedlam
broke loose-a demonstration lasting
more than half an hourly 11.0O0 ex.
cited fight fans, the most remarkable
feature of which was that 1t was
handled throughout by less than a
dozen policemen without violence OF
any sort.

PROPAGATION OF THE ROSE
NOT VERY DIFFICULT TASK
Many Growers Start Flowers Their Own Roots but the
Majority Prefer the Budded PIants-No Garden
Is Complete Without Them and Should
Be Grown Abundanty.

are prepared to furnish strong, we'll
rooted plants, such as will make a
showing the first season and develop
into vigorous specimens.
In selecting roses for the garden, 1t
is well to know that these plants are
grown in two ways, that is to say on
their own roots or budded low on the
Manetti, brier-rose that has largely
superseded the Dog-rose and other
stocks in this country.
Experts are divided on the question
as to which should receive the prefer
ence, and the beginner is liable to be
in quandary because growers are apt
to argue for their own method Of
propagation. But Of late years many
themselves in favor of budded plants.
A prominent firm of rose-growers at
Rochester, N. Y, that is known the
world over for the excellence Of its
roses, concretely expressed this con.
viction as follows:
We find many varieties of roses
grown on this stock (Manetti) adapt
themselves to a greater range of eli
mate and soil, bloom more profusely,
endure better the heat of the summer
and make far stronger plants than If
grown from their own roots. Many
object to budded roses on account Of
the suckers they sometimes throw
out; but if proper attention is paid to
the planting, this will rarely be an
annoyance. Budded roses should be
planted sufficiently deep, so that the
junction of the bud with the stock is
from two to three inches below the
surface of the earth. If despite this
precaution, wild shoot should hap
pen to start from the base, the growth
and foliage of the stock are SO distinct
that it is readily recognized by the
most inexperienced amateur and is
| easily removed
Another authority on this subject
goes even further and contends that
many fine varieties of the queenly
| flower are utterly worthless unless
they are budded. My own experience
comedies with that referred to above.
Moreover, found that it is possible,
as a rule, to replace budded roses
more cheaply than those grown on
their own roots, which is another
point in their favor, particularly in
localities where many roses are liable
to be winter-killed.
Roses may be grown to perfection
in ordinary garden soil, provided they
are planted in a sunny, sheltered loca.
ton, away from the roots of large
trees, for these will absorb all the life.

SOME SUMMER SALADS.

Palatable salads may be made the
year round with the standard fruits
and vegetables found in the markets
No luncheon or dinner seems quite
complete without some kind of q
salad.
Surprise saIad.-Cut in bits two
cold lamb chops freed from skin and
bone. Make jelly by straining and
seasoning a cup Of tomato and add
ing an eighth of box of gelatine. Fill
small earthen cups with the jelly, and
when firm on the edges. but still soft
inside, mix some of the central por-
ton with the meat and pack into the
center again. When firm serve. on
shredded lettuce with a teaspoonful
of salad dressing for each portion.
Remoulade Dressing.-Rub the
yolks of two hard-cooked eggs through
sieve, mix with a raw yolk, season
with salt, pepper and mustard and,
little by little. beat in a cup of oil, as
gar.
Asparagus and string beans make a
most satisfying salad, cooked and
served with French dressing. Make
this by adding a tablespoonful of vim
egar to three of olive oil. with season
ings of salt, pepper and mustard If
liked.
Thin slices of radishes used as a
garnish for lettuce and onion salad
is variety to- add to the list.
The materials at hand and the geni-
us of the cook will often produce re-
suits most gratifying.
A most appetizing salad for those
who are able to gather the fresh
mushrooms is one in which the stems
of the mushrooms are reserved for the
salad. Cut them in strips. mix with a
few shredded almonds and serve on
lettuce with French dressing. The
stems are to be uncooked.
Little bits of leftover salmon mixed
with cocoanut, makes a nice salad.
The addition of sour chopped pickle
or two gives zest to the salad.
Veal or chicken, equal quantities,
chopped and mixed with celery, sea
soned with a French dressing and
served with mayonnaise. is one of our
standard salads. To quart of mixed
celery and chicken use cup Of may
onnaise.
The blanched ends of tender dande-
lions added to lettuce is good COM
bination.
