OUR PRIZE WINNERS.

The Catholic Bulletins Grand
Tour Contest closed last Saturday
night and the names Of the win
ners are announced in this issue.
It was understood, of course,
that each one who entered the
contest could not hope to secure a
prize. That stimulated interest
and friendly rivalry among the
contestants and their friends. The
result shows that those who lost
no time in getting into the race
and who worked hard from the
beginning carried off the honors.
If the contest had been kept open
for a couple Of weeks more some
Of those who took their time in
the beginning would undoubtedly
have overtaken the victors. They
made a mistake in not actively
engaging in the work of soliciting
subscriptions from the day the
contest was announced. Those
who were unsuccessful in the con-
test have the consolation Of know
ing that they accomplished a good
work in helping to extend the in
fuence Of the Catholic press and
making the merits Of The Catholic
Bulletin known to a larger number
of subscribers.
To each contestant, whether
successful or not, we offer our
thanks for the splendid work
done, and to the winners our con-
gratulations on the successful out,
come Of their efforts. We know
they will enjoy the tours planned
for them by The Catholic Bulletin
and we hope that they will make
the best possible use of the oppor,
tunity for sightseeing which these
tours afford.
We are grateful to all who in
any way were instrumental in
making the contest a success. We
appreciate their efforts and be,
speak a continuance Of their
kindly interest in the welfare OF

THE IDEAL WOMAN.

In "a recent interview, his
Eminence Cardinal Gibbons, de-
scribes the ideal woman in the fol-
lowing words:
"The great model for the
woman in whose hands is the up
building of the homes Of this
country, is Mary herself. This
ideal woman, who yet is real, has
the beauty Of the soul rather than
of the body, which delights with
out intoxicating. The contempla-
ton Of her excites no inward
rebellion, as too often is the case
with the contemplation Of the
Grecian models. She is the mother
of love, devoid Of sickly sentiment
tality or sensuality. In her we
find the force Of will without pride
or imperiousness, more strength
and heroism without the sacrifice
Of female grace and honor-a
heroine Of silent joy and suffering
rather than of noisy action. The
Holy Scripture asks not who
shall find the gentle woman but
Who shall find the valiant
woman?' And it is her valor, cour-
age, fortitude and the sturdy
virtue Of self-reliance that are
admired. When there are enough
women of this type, who eradicate
the evils Of race suicide, divorce
and marital evils, then America
will have become a nation of
homes with the central figure in
each the wife, proud Of her chill
dren in proportion to their num-
bers.'

A GOOD SUGGESTION.

There is a well-known proverb
which says that Satan always finds
some work for idle hands to do.
He is no less active in suggesting
to idle minds thoughts that would
never find lodging there if some
definite occupation absorbed their
time and attention. 1t frequently
happens that boys especially who
have no duties to attend to during
the summer vacation, and who are
absorbed in finding ways and
means Of Willing away the time
that hangs heavy on their hands,
get into mischief more or less
serious in its consequences. Nor
are girls entirely free from this
danger. Parental supervision is
not at all times possible. Boys
and girls are left largely to their
own resources and the opportuni-
ties for mischievous pranks are
numberless.
In this connection the Sacred
Heart Review makes a good sug-
gestion. After citing a number of
cases that came under it's notice
where boys idling away their vaca-
ton days have done more or less

damage by their supposedly harm.
less FRANKS, it says: eve mention
only a few cases, but enough to
illustrate the tendency of boys
freed from school restraint to get
into mischief. The boys cannot be
held entirely responsible. They
have long idle days on their hands,
and they kill time according to the
manner of their kind. How much
better it would be if parents
exacted certain amount of work
each day, and kept general
supervision Of their children all
the time. The father s occupation
takes him from home, but his
authority should be sufficient to
secure obedience to his commands,
and the mother can see that his
orders are carried out properly.
"The girls are the mothers
particular charge, and she should
make the vacation season profit
able for them in giving them prac-
teal instruction in household
work, sewing, etc. In one family,
two girls, twelve and fourteen
years Of age, make all the clothes
for the younger children, under
the mothers instruction, and they
are not slaves They have
plenty Of time for fun and out
door exercise, and are much hap
pier children than their friends
next door who do nothing all day
except lolling on door-steps and
indulging in gossip.
"Work and proper recreation
are the remedies against the evils
that beset school children in the
vacation period. Unfortunately
there are too many parents who do
not insist upon one remedy or
make provision for the other.'

THE INFLUENCE OF THE

HOW MUCH ALCOHOL MAY Be
TAKEN DAILY?

Professor Abel of Johns Hopkins
University is quoted by the liquor
papers as stating that a man may
drink one and one-half ounces of
whisky day without damage. This
would be at most three-fourths of an
ounce of alcohol. DR.. Arnold Lorand,
Carlsbad physician, states that one
or two tablespoonful of whisky three
times day is large quantity; which
would be at most an ounce and a half
of alcohol. Of course, what a physi-
clan regards as a large quantity can
not be taken without damage. But
whether the quantity of alcohol and
consequent damage be great or small
at first with the man who can drink
and let it alone, they both grow, the
damage becoming such that the man
cannot let it alone if he would. The
only way to escape the damage is to
avoid the cause.

Some time ago it was reported
that the Emperor of Austria would
send an imperial train TO convey
the Papal Legate, Cardinal Van
Rossum, to the Eucharistic Con-
gress at Vienna. 1t seems, however,
that His Holiness has refused the
offer fearing that the Emperor
courteous act would assume undue
political Importance and, in GER
tain quarters, be construed into a
reconciliation between the Vatican
and the Quirinal. 1t seems that
the Italian Government was max
ing preparations to show royal
honors to the Pope's representa-
tive On his journey through Italy.
It is not unlikely that the Austrian
escort will receive the Papal Leg
ate at the Italian frontier and &C.
cord him on his journey to Vienna
all the honors due to the official
representative of Pope Plus x.

We commend the action of the
four hundred young women en-
ployed in a factory in Brooklyn
who went on strike recently be-
cause the foremen and other male
employees cursed and swore at
them. They refuse to return to
work until the firm gives some as
surance that in the future no pro-
fame, abusive or blasphemous
language will be tolerated in the
work rooms.
How any reputable firm can sub
ject young women in it's employ to
such indignities is beyond compre-
hension; and the young women
who would calmly submit are not
worth their salt. If all young
women who have to listen to un-
becoming language of any kind
from their employers Or fellow
workmen would make a similar
protest it would help to better con-
ditions. Men who swear are not
fit companions for any one, and
especially for self-respecting
young women; and no man can
lay claim to even an elementary
acquaintance with the ordinary
prOprieties of life who swears in
the presence of a woman. Swear
ing is a vulgar habit and those
who indulge in it should not be
allowed to associate with decent
people.

The NE TEMERE' DECREE
Anglican Clergyman Takes Sensible
View of the Subject.

Is it worth the while of Anglicans
to trouble themselves about this Ro-
man decree? In the first place it is
only the putting In force of the decree
of Trent on marriage, throughout the
United States. These DEGREES, writes
John Williams in the Living Church. >
were already in force in Baltimore, St.
Louis, and New Orleans, and no one I
think, has ever noticed any appreciable
difference between these dioceses and
the other Roman dioceses of the land
as to the rights of Anglicans in mixed
marriages.
In the next place the decree does
not, cannot, touch the question of the
legal validity of any marriage mixed
or other. 1t is only of force in the
spiritual, or sacramento order. A
Roman decree of any sort cannot pos
sibly affect American statute law,
whether it affects marriage or any
thing else Of course it affects its own
people in the spiritual sphere. But
what have we to do with that? Are
we so sacredly concerned about any
of our people who may unwisely con-
sent in wedlock with a Roman Cath.
Ole, as to demand that Rome be en-
joined by law from casting any slur
upon such marriages? Nonsense!
Rome has all along denied their sacra-
mental validity, even when performed
by her own ministers. She never
gives them benediction, nor are they
celebrated before the altar. But then
l imagine, those persons who are wax
ing hot over a matter of internal dis
cipline in the Roman Church are not
greatly concerned about the denial OF
the sacramento nature of mixed mar
the sacramento character of any mar
riage.
Rome is altogether right in seeking
to prevent the evil of mixed marriages
Would that we were half as faithful
to our trust! We do not hesitate tt
wed our young women to any sort O.
believer or unbeliever; even TO pro
nounce the nuptial benediction before
the altar upon marriages which Goo
does not bless. We require men tc

and of the Son and of the Holy
Ghost" when we know they do mo-
believe in Father, Son, or Holy Ghost
Our women, or many of them, run fal
more risk in their marriage with un
believers by their own pastors, thar
any of them run in wedding Roman
Catholics. Yet it would be better fol
them, and for their children, not tt
enter into a mixed marriage at all.

JUBILEE OF JAPANESE CHURCH
Sacred Heart Church at Yokohama
Opened Fifty Years Ago-chinese
Respect Catholic Church.

The beautiful Gothic Church of the
Sacred Heart in Yokohama, Japan,
celebrated this year the golden jubilee
of it's existence. The span of fifty years
since the construction of this church
has witnessed the most marvellous
changes in the development of the
country in which it is erected.
On January II, 1862, the Church of
the Sacred Heart was solemnly
blessed, after months of assiduous
exertion on the part of Father Girard.
It was a novelty to the Japanese and
prints of it were made and sent
throughout the country. 1t attracted
visitors from all parts, and people
streamed into it for weeks from morn
ing until night. And when the mis-
sionary, encouraged, by questions, be-
gan to explain the Catholic religion,
many of these were arrested and
finally the Japanese were kept away
by force.
1t is the first Christian church built
in Japan after the reopening of the
country to foreigners, and stands as a
monument to the great hero, Father
Girard, who was the first Catholic mis-
sionary to penetrate into country
which was forbidding the wicked re-
ligion of the Christians.
1t was owing chiefly to the Ar
menian plenipotentiary, Townsend
Harris, that by treaties with foreign
powers the law was abolished which
commanded every one in Japan to
trample upon the crucifix, and that
foreigners, at least, were allowed to
exercise their religion. Fifty years
ago it meant death for foreigner to
venture far outside the limits of the
settlement. Now the life and property
of stranger are safer in Japan than
any other country. The japanese
people were restrained by fore from
visiting Catholic church, now not
only the Constitution grants freedom
of the conscience, but like in the
United States, property used directly
for church purposes is free from
taxation.
At the present time clear thinkers
among the Japanese are impressed
more and more by the 1mpregnable
strength of the Catholic Church as an
exponent of the supernatural. A
prominent Japanese, Christian, but
unattached to any denomination, and
who has large following, especially
among the students, has declared re-
peatedly that he does not see the
necessity of a Church, but il a
Church is necessary, the Catholic one
is the only one that can claim recog-
milton.

ALCOHOL AND EPILEPSY.

There are today in the state of Il
linofs, says an exchange, about 5000
epileptics. More than half of them
are children. Nearly two thousand
could, II they knew enough, justly
point their fingers at their father or
mother, or both, and say, "You are
responsible for my mIsery-you,
through the alcohol which made you
it's slave"
And when most of these children
die early, prematurely, usually In hor-
rible commissions, with their poor
little limbs drawn together In spasms,
and their child faces purple and
twitching, from the physicians stand
point the case is case of murder, and
the name Of the murderer is Alcohol.

CATHOLIC PROGRESS IN
FRANCE.

LII Is very COuSOl1uS w 1Cdu VI
the great progress that has been
made by the Catholic Church in
France since she ceased to be the
state church and had to rely on
her own resources. The people at
large have rallied around her
standard and have given evidence
of an active interest in religious
matter such as few thought them
capable of. In this connection it
is not uninteresting to read the
following from the pen of a staff
correspondent Of the Liverpool
"Times:"
eve have had occasion to re-
mark on the increase Of activity of
the French Catholics, their greater
union and more thorough organi-
zation, and, in consequence, the,
influence that they are slowly, but,
surely, regaining in public affairs.
ga short time ago, a Radical
and anti-clerical deputy let drop
an avowal that should serve to en-
courage the French Catholics in
what must ever be an arduous
struggle. To an ecclesiastic, with
whom he had to treat of business
matters. he confessed that the men
of his party were impressed by the
new attitude of the Catholics. I'VE
thought that your party was
dead, he said, it gave no signs of
life beyond fruitless lamentations,
but now things are different. The
Catholics, we discover to our sur
prise, are strongly banded to-
gether. They have adopted the
modern methods of organization.
Their syndicates, guilds and asso-
Citations are multiplying and they
evidently represent strong force
whose demands we shall have to
consider in future
"This impression was keenly
felt by the Catholics themselves
on the occasion Of the last do
cesar Congress in Paris. They
then realised that, since the sep
aration of Church and State, the
beggared but enfranchised Church
of France has made strides for
ward in the path Of progress. One
of the chief ecclesiastics Of the
diocese confirmed this impression
in a conversation with a leading
French journalist. He owned that
the number Of priests is less than
it was twenty years ago, but there
are more ecclesiastical vocations
now than there were on the eve of
the Separation. Many Of these
recruits are not young, uniformed
boys, but men in the prime of life,
who, to enter the Church, sacrifice
important and advantageous
careers. Then also, within the last
twelve years, ffty-four churches
or chapels, twenty-four of which
are now parish churches, have
sprung into existence in or around
Paris, an extraordinary and sig
nifcant fact If we consider the
heavy claims that are made upon
the finances of the Catholics since
the confscation of Church prop
erty by the Government. What is
still more striking than the mere
creation of these religious centres,
/ is the fact that, at the end of six
months or year, all the new
churches, without exception, prove
too small for their congregations.
Yet in the parishes that already
exist, the number of worshippers
has not decreased.
/ cit has been estimated that,
owing to the foundation of these
new centres, the practice of their
religion has been made possible
The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1912-08-24

for about 100000 Catholics, who
live in suburbs that are developing
from day to day with extraordi-
nary rapidity. The creation Of
parochial Committees is strong
ly advocated by the Cardinal
Archbishop, and, owing in great
measure to his encouragement,
one hundred Of these committees
now exist. Their members are
laymen of every rank and social
standing, whose duty it is to sup
port the action Of the priests. The
latter are naturally much alb
sorbed by their ecclesiastical
duties and it falls to the share Of
the laymen to create and organize
the social associations that have
become so prominent feature of
modern apostleship.
cit is they whose mission it is
to found savings banks, lending
libraries, gymnastic societies,
clubs, guilds and syndicates. Their
action is prompted by religious
motives they endeavour to serve,
not only the moral, but also the
material interests Of the workmen.
and it is thus that they disarm
their prejudices and win their con-
fdence. These committees have
another advantage: by grouping
together men belonging to diff
ferent social classes, who are
united by the strong bond Of re-
ligious convictions, they increase
the general union of the Catholic
body. This is doubly useful in a
country where politics play an i'm
portant part and have often con-
tributed to spread dissensions in
the ranks Of the Catholic army.
"Another work of Importance
is the creation of high class
schools for the training of
schoolmasters and schoolmis-
tresses who, when they have
passed the necessary examina-
tions, will be qualified to compete
with the Government school
teachers. AS for the primary
schools, those directed by Catholic
teachers have two thousand more
pupils than they had two years
ago. There is no doubt that, even
among the working classes, there
is an increasing conviction that
the teaching by the Government
schools is sadly deficient on many
points. Many non-religious parents
complain that their children are
taught neither respect nor
obedience, and these views have
been considerably strengthened by
the letter which was written by
Tisseau, who, on the eve of his
execution at LIE Mans for murder
. stated that the crime for which he
! was to die was the direct result OF
J the goddess teaching given to him
| at a Government school, where he
was taught that it was lawful fol
children to disobey and even to
rob their parents. The publica
/ ton Of this letter naturally
irritated the anti-clerical papers
and in the version issued by the
tMatin,' the most damning pas
sages were distorted or sup.
pressed. However, the authentic
statement was photographed and
given to the public accompanied
by the necessary proofs Of its
authenticity"
