speeches are made over them they

never rest beside them. This ver-

The incident shows the lengths to

boundaries of this state in search
of grey granite for building pur-
poses show a great lack Of appre-
citation for home product which
cannot be duplicated anywhere in
the United States for durability
and beauty.
Nor can it be here objected that
those in charge of the building of
the Pro-Cathedral went elsewhere
for the material used in it's con-
struction. The white granite of
which it is built is not found in
Minnesota, and when it was de-
cided to use white granite in pref
erence to grey, it was necessary
to seek the material elsewhere.
The Vermont quarries were Sc
lected as furnishing the best kind
of white granite.

THE SEED AND THE Sewers.

In the field of temperance, the seed
employed by the body represented by
the total abstainer is admittedly of the
first quality, prayer, the sacraments,
good example, the total abstinence
pledge elevated by supernatural mo-
tive, besides the natural and social
means employed by every like society.
The sewers too have been drawn from
the very first ranks of the clergy and
laity. They are as rule, untiring in
their efforts to scatter the seed far and
wide by every means available. But
when we look over the field, we find
that but a small percentage OF the en-
ergy and effort expended has been re-
warded with results. The seed has
fallen by the Wayside, among the
thorns, and upon stony ground, but
very little has taken root In the good
soil. Why?

FRENCH FREEMASONRY.

In our issue Of March % we
noted that very unusual case
had been referred to the Tribunal
of the Seine for adjudication.
Last year an engineer died at
Tolouse, In France, and was buried
with full Catholic rites. It seems
that formerly he was a member
of the Masonic fraternity, but
prior to his death had become
reconciled to the Church. Some
time after his funeral a Masonic
friend unearthed will, dated
several years back, in which the
deceased had expressed a desire
for a civil funeral and that his
body be cremated. Immediately.
the Free Masons demanded the
elimination Of his remains in

MINNESOTA GRANITE UNI
SURPASSED.

Some time ago construction
work was resumed on the new
Cathedral of st. Paul. AS it's
massive walls rise tier upon tier
we get a better idea of it's beauty,
size and grandeur of proportion.
The very material Of which it is
constructed-grey granite from
the Rockville, Minnesota, quar-
ries-evokes the admiration of
the beholder. There is something
very pleasing and attractive about
the appearance of this granite.
1t is coarse-grained with an album
dance of quartz that glistens like
crystal. It's greyness is relieved
and enlivened by a pink tint which
gives it a warmth of color I'M
usual in such material that is most
pleasing in its general effect. 1t
is very rare to find grey granite
so attractive, so artistic in it's ap-
peal to the eye.
To realize the truth of this it is
only necessary to compare it with
the grey granite that is to be
used in the construction of the
new postofice in Minneapolis.
The latter is dark, heavy, lifeless,
unattractive, and devoid of ap-
peal to the. aesthetic sense. It is
to be regretted that those in
charge of the undertaking did not
patronize the Minnesota quarries
rather than those Of New England
from which this grey granite is
taken. As long as Minnesota can
furnish such splendid grey granite
as that used in the new Cathedral
there is no reason why contract
ors and builders should seek else.

When the late Martin I. J. Grit
fin passed to his eternal reward,
the cause Of total abstinence in
America lost one Of it's most
valiant champions, leader who
in his personal life exemplifed the
lofty ideal which he urged on
others and who, by voice and pen
and organizing ability, left no
stone unturned to extend it's in
fuence. The following apprecia-
tive tribute to his enthusiastic
zeal from a fellow worker in the
cause will be read with interest by
all advocates of this heroic form
Of self-denial: ."Nowhere in the
classic days Of the Catholic cru
SADIE against intemperance was
the war so nobly carried on as in
the City of Philadelphia, and
there no one stood so valiantly by
the flag as Martin I. J. Griffin.
Blunt Of word and fearless of
blow, as utter sincerity of con-
viction ever is, he struck right
and left, wherever evil lifted it's
head or even remote connivance
gave it encouragement. Com
plants now and then were heard
that he was imprudent in attack,
relentless in pursuit. This, the
evidence that he was working
hard and successfully, with ear
nestness that know no compro-
mise, no faltering when the good
cause needed trusty combatants. -

From circular issued by the
Rev. J. F. McNichols, O. P, we
learn that the Holy Father has
authorized the formation Of a Con-
fraternity or Sodality of Fervent
First Communion and Persever-
ance, for the purpose of helping
those admitted to first Communion
to perservere in their state of in
nocence. The Sodality is placed
under the protection of the Blessed
lmelda who, at the age Of ten, en-
tered the Convent of the Domini-
can Nuns at Bologna, and shortly
afterwards received the habit of
the Order. She died on Ascension
Thursday of the same year, 1888,
after having miraculously received
Holy Communion which until then
had been withheld by her super
iors on account Of her age.
The Sodality was established in
1891, and five years later received
the appreciation of Leo XIII. In
1910, Pope Plus x, wishing to ex-
tend the great advantages of the
Sodality, appointed the Master
General of the Dominicans it's Su-
preme Moderator with authority
to establish it throughout the
world.

In the "San Antonio Daily
Light" of March 81, there was
published letter written by a
young soldier, Benjamin Tisseau,
who was guillotined in Mans,
France, about a month ago for the
murder of an old woman whom he
had robbed Of fifteen francs. This
letter, Of interest on account Of the
light it throws upon school condi-
tons of France, reads as follows ::
cat school I was taught that
parents had only a limited author
ity over their children; that legal
ly they had no right to correct
them; that theft from parents was
not theft and that the law could
not punish it. Being naturally
inclined to evil, these ideas that
all men should be equal and that
there should not be rich and poor
only excited me. Hence arose my
first fault, which resulted in my
being sent to a house of correc-
ton.
II left the place sick after four
years of suffering and with hatred
in my heart for society. Having
no trade and being a victim to my
own evil instinct like many others,
[ succumbed. But the last crime
has become blessing, for in. this
prison of Mans [ met priest who
taught me the real meaning Of life,
which I confess [ never really I'M
derstood."

TEMPERANCE TEACHING IN THE
SCHOOLS OF HUNGARY.

The Minister for Public instruction
of Hungary has ordered that In all
the state elementary schools through
out the country the teachers shall OBJ
serve an annual anti-alcohol day, de-
voted to the evils of drink and the adj
vantages of temperate living. The Ma
tiona1 Anti-Alcoholic League of Hun
gary" has for many years given lee
lures at different times In various
schools, and it is in grateful acknowl-
edgement of the good results achieved
that the Minister, County John Ffchy,
has now resolved to open the school
doors to definite propaganda of total
abstinence principles.

With the passing Of Easter Sun
day we are reminded of the fact
that the Paschal season is moving
onward to it's close. Six weeks
hence Trinity Sunday will dawn
and the negligent Catholic will
then realize that, owing to his in
difference and sloth, the judgment
pronounced by the Church on
those who, through their own
fault, fail to comply with the law
regarding Easter duty, places him
among the number Of those
who are no longer regarded as
practical Catholics. The law of
Easter Communion binds under
pain of mortal sin; and those who
are not moved to comply with it
through love of God should at
least fear the heavy hand of His
vengeance. God is not Knocked,
says the inspired writer, and every
Christian knows that it is ter
rible thing to fall under the dis
pleasure of Him Whose justice
must demand the last farthing
from the sinner. While there is
yet time let those who have failed
to comply with their Easter duty
should hasten to make amends for
their neglect.

No beauty can come without time
and trouble. Even the flower which
seems to bloom without effort has lain
long underground in the shape of the
seed, which persisted before 1t could
be born. Nor is it otherwise with
souls. To endure injustice without
answering back with hatred, to endure
grief without having the spirit broken,
to endure disappointment and yet to

character.

PRESSING MEASURE
FOR TWO OPERATORS
!. ON PASSENGERSH
Senator Hitchcock May
Make Amendments to Bill
Already Presented.

The measure requiring all passenger
vessels clearing American ports to carry
two wireless operators, which was in
troduced early i'm the session, will be
pressed forward. according to state
ment made by Senator Hitchcock today.
AS result of suggestions made in q
letter from a wireless operator on
coasting vessel, Senator Hitchcock may
also seek TO have amendments passed
providing for direct communication be-
tween the wireless room and the pilot
house and for the compulsory mainten-
ance of storage batteries to be used
when the generation engine Is not run
ming.
The writer of this letter, which bears
the mark of practical experience with
wireless apparatus, volunteers the IN
formation that the wages paid wireless
operators are entirely too low. To the
operators on the Carpathia the wireless
company pays only 500 a month. This,
with board and bunk, amounts to pos
sibly $50 or $40 month. American
operators receive only $50 month,
with board and lodging. This. as a
matter of fact, is less wages than Is
paid the average farm hand on West
ern farms.
