GREG0RIA CHANT
Is the Most Beautiful Religious Melody
on Earth-Oldest of Surviving
Music.

The Church, indeed, has been the
fostering mother of music as of other
arts. For age and fame the Gregorian
Chant is, perhaps, unrivalled. Halevy
considered it "the most beautiful re
ligious melody that exists on earth;
Mozart said that "he would gladly ex
change all his music for the fame OF
having composed the Gregorian Pre-.
face; and Gevaert's statement that il
was aas though time had no power
over it, has found amplifcation in the
picturesque prose of MI. Oldmeadow
''The Oldest music in the world is the
chant of the Church-the chant which
she uplifts week after week, year after
year, century after century, in every
cline and nation in metro
polls and in hamlet, in narrow shrine
and in vast basilica.

of surviving music yet it is also the

4 CITY OF SALT
In GaIicia, Austria-TWo ChapeIs With
Affairs and Furnishings Hewn Out
of Rock Salt.

twenty-five miles long, about half a
mile wide and nearly thousand feet
underground, in Galicia, Austria, is
solid bed of rock salt, discovered and
first worked a thousand years ago
and, ever since, and now being still
worked industriously and profitably.
During those years, thousands of
tons of hardest salt have been mined
and exported from Cracow to Russia
made gradually formed into beautiful
streets. From the brilliant walls
houses we're hewn, first meagre dwell
ings that in time gave place to hand
some ones. Shops of all kinds, halls
for amusement, chapels for the offer
ing of the Holy Sacrifice, ball rooms,
glittering in their natural sheen, and
with galleries and massive chandeliers,
all of the one kind of ware in the place
rock salt. AS generation after gen.
Grafton of men lived and worked in the
mines, all these developments pro-
crossed Wider streets, roomier
houses, gayer and larger bathrooms,
more beautiful chapels, even stately
monuments and elaborate railway sta
tons. And in all of them no material
but the glistening salt rock. The great
crucifix, and candlesticks, and sane
tuary lamps in St. Cunegunde's Chapel,
and in the older st. Anthony's Chapel
all are specimens of the sculptor's
art in hard salt instead of marble.
Tourists wishing to see the wonders
of the salt city are shown first St..
Anthony's Chapel, hewn two hundred
years ago from single piece of rock
salt. The miners name who worked
it is now forgotten. The main altar
has twisted columns, and statues on
each side, on the steps gracefully
carved figures of monks kneel as if
in perpetual alteration. st. Cune-
gunde's Chapel completed in 1896 is
one hundred and fifty feet long, forty
five broad and thirty-five feet high
the statues, pulpit, altar, chandeliers,
all of salt-and deep down in the
bowels of the Carpathian Mountains.
Michaelowicz Hall for public assem-
blies is eighty-four feet long, fifty-four
wide and has a vaulted roof one hun
dred and eight feet above the assem-
bled heads. It's colossal chandelier
holds two hundred candles.
There is even a wonderful grotto
with lake; in the centre of which
is a statue of one of the crown princes
of Austria, in salt of course, with fir
trees of salt and festoons of stalactite
around it in a beautiful design. The
mine is itself twenty-five miles long
but it is estimated that it's streets and
galleries aggregate nearly a hundred
miles.
About fifteen hundred men find daily
employment in the mine about two
thirds of whom have never worked in
the dust and noise of the upper world

Q Erin, Green Erin.
A Song of the Days of Old.
written for The Catholic Bulletin by
Rev. Henry 3. Tierney, Trenton,
MOI
Knox Hats

o Erin, Green Erin, fair Isle of the
Sea,
Lov'd home of contentment and rest;
Where the voice is as sweet as divine
melody
And the dove is serene in her nest
Where the flowers bloom early and
thrive all the year
And spread their sweet scent DER
the FEM ..
o Erin, thy charms and thy joys
revere,
How long to be with thee again!
Refrain:
o Erin, Green Erin, sweet Isle of the
Sea,
'Tis there on thy shores, dear, /
long now to be;
Home of rest, Island blest,
In my dreams Nature seems
To love only thee, o Erin machree
To love only thee,
Fair Erin, green island, proud Queen
of the Sea.
No dearer land thrives, a glad tribute
to God;
Than Erin, where nature twice blest,
Sweet smiles as her wealth she dis
plays on the sod,
The worlds Tirnanoge in the West.
There the berries hang thick in the
long shady lanes
And the spring bubbles fresh in the
wales;
And the hawthorne bursts forth in the
hedges and plains,
All, delicious the breath it exhales.
The rill winds it's musical way from
the spring
AS it murmurs a song to the breeze,
Keeping time for the fairies who dance
in the ring
To the music of elf melodies.
Old Erin, rich Island of peace and
lov'd rest,
o dearer and fonder to me
Are the visions and dreams of thy
haunts, truly blest,
Than the glare Of the worlds mock
cry.

Going needlessly close to sin is next
to committing it. Electricity is not
the only force that sometimes works
by induction, leaping across space and
seriously interfering with currents that
it was meant to have nothing to do
with. Evil is as expert as electricity
at that feat. A very practical question
is: How wide is the margin between
us and evil? No man can afford to let
the margin grow narrow. 1t 10 not q
sign of strength but Of weakness, to
daily with temptation. The man who
might seem to be least endangered by
a narrow margin here, always has the
widest margin; and the man who
foolishly dares approach the border 10
the man who can least afford to.

NO PROTEST FROM EUROPE.
Proposed Free Passage Of Panama
Canal by American Ships.

Although there have been some strong
expressions In the foreign press Of dis
approval OF the view expressed by Presi-
dent Taft and Secretary Stimson that
American shipping using the Panama
canal should be relieved Of tolls, no pro-
test has reached the State Department
from any European government The
legislation necessary to fix the tolls on
the canal trafic and to anarm the free
use Of the waterway by American ship
ping is to be vigorously pressed. in view
OF the urgent declaration by Col.
Cocktails that immediate action on the
subject is demanded by the merchant
marine of the world. which desires to
employ every moment Of the two years
Intervening before the opening OF the
canal in readjusting lines of commune
cation and in new construction.
The view taken by the administration
is that through the subsidies paid by
foreign governments to their own ship
ping. which would be equivalent to the
amount Of tolls to h be charged au1 IN the he
placed at an actual disadvantage were
It not relieved entirely Of these charges.

ALL YOU NEED is A
CASCARET TONIGHT
No Sick Headache, Bilious Stom-
ach, Coated Tongue or Consti-
pated Bowels by Morning.

Turn the rascals out-the headache.
the biliousness, the indigestion. the
sick, sour stomach and foul gases
turn them out tonight and keep them
)ut with Cascarets.
Millions Of men and women take
Cascaret now and then and never
know the misery caused by a lazy
liver. clogged bowels or an upset
stomach.
Don't put in another day of distress.
Let Cascarets cleanse and regulate
your stomach; remove the sour, undi-
gested and fermenting food and that
misery-making gas; take the excess
bile from your liver and carry out OF
the system all the decomoosed waste
matter and poison in the intestines
and bowels. Then you will feel great.
A Cascaret tonight will surely
straighten you out by morning. They
work while you sleep. A Io-cent box
from any drug store means clear
head and cheerfulness for months.
Children love to take Cascarets be-
cause they taste good-never grippe or
sicken.
