PLANT TREES FOR THE HOME
Add Wealth as Well as Beauty to
Farnstead-Make Life More En-
Joyable to Everybody.

Every dollar invested in plants.
trees and flowers adds wealth rs well
as beauty 10 the farmstead. Trees in
crease the value of the farm and make
life more enjoyable for those who
live In the home. says Farm and
Ranch.
There is no more genuine pleasure
than planting shade. nut and fruit
trees. except the comfort of having
them on the place. AS trees grow and
spread their branches and the foliage
unfolds. develops and falls from year
to year. the owner OF the place feels
proud that he had civic pride enough
to plant trees and aesthetic sentiment
enough to appreciate them after they
were planted. Trees make the home
brighter.
A place without shade and fruit
trees Is like a desert-exposed to the
burning sun OF summer and the cut
ting blasts OF winter, and without
good cheer in the spring.

are higher than those of the grade or

PRAYERS, NOT FLOWERS.

The custom of placing expensive
flower wreaths on the collins and
graves of the dead, is an altogether
pagan and I'M Christian idea, says the
Toronto Catholic Register. Protest
antism, which has rejected the i'm
memorial custom of prayers for the
dead, and which processes to disbelieve
in the efficacy, had, perforce, to revive
the pagan custom of flowers in order
to have some tribute to offer as
token of love and respect to the de-
parted. But Catholics, who believe in
the consoling doctrine of the Com
munion of Saints, and the efficacy of
prayer and sacrifice for the dead, have
no excuse whatever to squander hard
earned money in expensive flower tes-
timonials, which in few hours wither
upon the grave and have to be carted
away by the caretaker, and dumped in
some obscure corner as an eyesore and
the pulpits the people have been ex-
horted not to waste valuable substance
in purchasing perishable wreaths and
flowers that avail nothing to the soul
of the loved ones, but to have prayers
and Masses offered for their everlast-
ing welfare. Mass-cards can be had at
every presbytery, which, being laid
upon the coffin, are consolation to
the relatives and an assurance that the
Holy Sacrifice will be offered for the
good of the departed soul. But fool
ish, and thoughtless and ignorant and
purse-proud people will continue to
send expensive wreaths and flowers,
and thousands of dollars are every
year wasted to augment the refuse
heap in the cemetery back corner. 1t
should be understood, once for all,
that flowers sent to Catholic funeral
are not a testimony of the charity of
the sender, but a testimony of his
want of faith and lamentable ignor-
ance of the very elements of Cath
olicity.,

CHILD SAINTS.

Many little children imagine it is.
so hard to be good, the effort is not
expected of them until they are older.
Yet some of the greatest saints in the
Church reached their high degree of
sanctity at an early age.
St. Peter of Verona was an eloquent
preacher at fifteen. st. Catherine of
Sienna was Jealous tertiary at the
same age. st. Paschal Baylor con-
verified the herdsmen of Aragon when
he was but a lad in his teens. St.
Aloysius was a sanity child before he
was nine years old. When boy at
school st. Dominic sold books to feed
the poor during the famine then rag
ing, and he offered himself in ransom
for a slave when he was but fifteen.
st. Louis Of Brignolles, nephew of
King Louis, was devoted to the glori-
fication of God, and the modification
of self at an early age. It is recorded
Of this child that he would steal out
Of his royal bed and sleep upon the
floor in memory of the King who had
nowhere to lay his head.
So sanity was the childhood of st.
Charles Borromeo that his singular
virtues caused his elevation to the car
dinalate at the age of twenty-five. St.
Stanislaus Kostka was but seventeen
when he died, after a life which,
though but short, had it's every minute
devoted to God. st. Lawrence O'Toole
was a model of virtue at the age of
fourteen and became abbot before he
was twenty-five. st. John, the beloved
disciple, was only boy when our
Lord called him to follow him. st.
Louis, the Crusader, King of France,
was but twelve when he assembled the
throne and voluntarily vowed to make
the defense of Gods honor the aim of
his life.
st. Agnes, ST. Cyril and a host of
other child martyrs gave up their
lives for the holy faith. These young
saints needed not the maturity of
years to teach them the better way.
Sanctity and genius, though often
revealed at an early age, are occa.
sionally of slow development Some
do not know themselves until the
world has tried them. st. Francis
Xavier, st. Augustine, st. Ignatius, St
Alphonsus were among those who
found the heavenly path amid the
tangled ways of earth.
Each ones life is his own to dc
with as he win. The qualities of heart
and mind which God has given him
must be used for God and mantle
earlier the better, for we are not all
set right when we make mistakes al
first. EARLY virtue and early knowl
edge are sure to bring early reward.

A SAINT FOR THE WEEK.
ST. DOROTHY.

st. Dorothy was a young virgin
celebrated at Caesarea, where she
lived, for her angelic virtue. Her
parents seem to have been martyred
before her in the ,Diocletian persecu-
ton, and when the Governor Sapricius
came to Caesarea, he called her before
him, and sent this child of martyrs to
the home where they were waiting for
her.
She was stretched upon the rack,
and offered marriage if she would con-
sent to sacrifice, or death if she re-
fused. But she replied, that Christ
was her only spouse, and death her
DESIRE" She was then placed in
charge of two women who had fallen
away from the Faith, in the hope that
they might pervert her; but the fire
of her own heart rekindled the flame
in theirs, and led them back to Christ.
When she was set once more on the
rack, Sapricius himself was amazed at
the heavenly look she wore, and asked
the cause of her joy. Because" she
said, Il have brought back two souls
to Christ, and because I shall soon be
in heaven rejoicing with the angels"
Her joy grew as she was buffeted in
the face, and her sides burnt with
plates of red-hot iron. BLESSED be
Thou" she cried, when she was SEN
fenced to be beheaded, blessed be
Thou, o Thou Lover of souls, who hast
call me to Paradise, and invitest me
to Thy nuptial chamber st. Dorothy
suffered in the dead of winter, and it
is said that on the road to her pas
sion lawyer called Theophilus, who
had been used to calumniate and
persecute the Christians, asked her, in
mockery, to send him "apples or roses
from the garden of her Spouse" st.
Dorothy had gone to heaven, and
Theophilus was still making> merry
over his challenge to the Saint, when
a child entered his room. He saw
that the child was an angel in dis
guise, and the fruit and flowers of no
earthly growth. He was converted to
the Faith, and then shared in the
martyrdom of st. Dorothy.

THE RUSTED KNIGHT
Translated From the German of Won
Volkmann by Helen Hughes HieI-
scher for The Catholic BuIIetin.)

Once upon a time there was
very rich and distinguished knight
who lived in riot and revel, and was
proud and hard toward the poor. For
his punishment God allowed that one
side of him would become rusted.
The left arm rusted and the left leg
and all that side of his body to the
middle. Only the face remained free.
The knight wore a glove on the left
hand sewed fast to the wrist and did
not lay it off day Or night, SO that no
one could see how he was rusted.
At the same time he began to think
seriously of his life, and tried to
change his ways. He left all his old
friends and drinking companions, and
married a beautiful and pious lady
She had heard many bad stories about
the knight, but as long as his face
looked good she believed them when
she was alone and thought over them
only about half, and when he was
present and talking friendly, not at
ALL
After they were married, however,
she observed why he never took the
glove off the left hand, and was very
much frightened. She did not say
anything to him, but one morning said
that she wanted to go into the woods
where there was little chapel to
pray. Near the chapel was the cell
of an old hermit who had earlier
lived for long in Jerusalem, and was
so holy that people from far and near
made pilgrimages to him, with the
though of asking his advice.
Now, when she had told the hermit
all, he went into the chapel, prayed
there long to the Virgin Mary, and
said to her when he returned: 'sYou
can save your husband, but it is very
difficult. And if you begin it, and do
not bring it to an end, you yourself
will become rusted. Your husband
has done many an injustice in his
life, and has become proud and hard
toward the poor. Will you go beg
ging for him barefooted, and in rags
as the poorest beggarwoman, until
you have begged one hundred golden
guldens? If you do SO, your husband
will be saved. Then take him by the
hand, go with him into the church,
and lay the hundred gold guldens in
the aims box for the poor. If you do
that, God will forgive your husbands
sins, the rust will disappear and the
iskin become white as before"

FOURTH SUNDAY IN LENT.

EPlSTLE: For these are the

Mount Sina, engendering unto

Sina Is "a mountain in Arabia,

GOSPEL: And Jesus took the
loaves; and when he had given
thanks, he distributed to them
that were sat down. In like
manner also of the fishes, as
much as they would. And when
they were filled, he said to his
disciples, Gather up the frag-

suffering Master and Model by freely
embracing suffering. 1T is enough for
the servant that he as his Master is. ;
Filled with this spirit of self-sacrific-
ing love, St. Catherine of Siena
freely chose the crown of thorns in
stead of the crown of roses, because
the former had encircled the brow of
her beloved Saviour, although given
to understand that she might please
God equally in either case. But it
is, rather, the other two motives for
penance that will probably appeal to
us ordinary mortals.
