A JUNGLE SHRINE.

One of the most unique shrines to
the Blessed Virgin in the world is
hidden in the Island of Ceylon.
This shrine, consisting of simple
statue of the Immaculate Mother, is
buried in the heart of the densest
jungle, the nearest village being fiji
teen miles distant. Yet, notwith-
standing this fact, thousands of the
faithful flock to the spot every year
to celebrate the Feast of the Vista
ton, and during the eight days the
festival lasts a city of fifty thousand
inhabitants surrounds the almost in
accessible sanctuary.
The reason for the devotion is that
during this time is blessed what is
known as Madhu earth. When mixed
with water this earth forms a drink
to which is ascribed the miracu'
lous power of curing those suffering
from snake bites. The value of this
cure will be better understood when
it is. stated that the greatest danger
to life in Ceylon comes from poison
Gus serpents, no less than twenty
thousands persons dying annually
from this cause.
A Catholic missionary, however
has never been known to die in this
way, and he owes his safety to the
protection of St. Francis Xavier
When the great apostle was laborins
in India and Japan he promised thai
no priest would ever perish from the
bite of a serpent, and present day
missionaries attest that the pledge
has been faithfully kept.
That the poor Hindus might no
be left without a remedy for the dreaG
affliction, the Blessed Virgin has dis
pensed her own alienation in thu
simple form of native soil moistenet
with water.
The faith of the pious Hindus il
absolute, and facts would seem t.
prove the legitimacy of their belief

THE PERPETUAL SACRIFICE OF

the sacrifice of the Mass is being
offered in some part of the world every

little later the missionary on the ice
bound coast of Greenland elevates the
chalice of salvation. At the noon
hour in our American cities the Pacific
islands make ready to receive Our
Lord. The brave priests who have
ventured into the far East, in Thibet
celebration of the divine rite from
which they gain the courage anG
strength necessary for their apostol

On the altar of Hindoostan, where
st. Francis Xavier administered the
Faith, the candles are again lighted
Poland and Siberia give their conso
lation to the poor Catholics within the
fold, and so on, in an ever widening
circle that finally embraces the entire
globe, the Blessed Host rises as in
fallibly as the sun over the heads O
the faithful. Heroic missionaries have
accomplished this mighty feat-me1
imbued with the spirit of self immola

ToKIo'S NEW CATHOLIC UNIVER.
SITY.

For a long time it has been the
desire of the Jesuit Order to establish
an institute for higher learning in
Japan. Many things combined to pre-
vent the fulfilment of this wish; but
at last all obstacles have been over
come, and a suitable location found
at Toxic.
The sight is considered very beau
tiful one, as it overlooks the City and
commands a fine view of the surround
ing country.
This detailed description of the
property is written by Rev. FIR. Gettle-
man, S. j., one of the Fathers engaged
in the work:
The address is Kojimachi, Kioi-
cho Z. Kojumachi is the name of that
part of Toxic which corresponds to
the ancient walled city of Yedo, and
it is still surrounded in great part by
an immense moat and rampant. 1t
mile in width around the precincts of
the imperial palace, which are in
cluded within their own particular
meats. Kioi-cho is at the western ex-
tremity of Kojimachi, near the pic
turesque remnants of an ancient gate
called Yotsuya Mitsuke. Less than
a mile to the east we come upon the
moat surrounding the palace of the
Emperor. The whole territory is
billy and extremely picturesque.
Upon the land there are at present
two large houses of European con-
struction, the residences of Japanese
generals, and a number of smaller
Japanese houses. The larger build
ing may be used for the community,
and for the beginning, at least, as
lecture rooms. The Japanese dwell
ings will serve admirably for students
boarding houses. The future college
buildings are as yet to be constructed
Before they are ready, real col
lege work is impossible, and therefore
it will be at least another year before
classes are in full swing.

he was boy; but Grace, who had
been crying, just sat down on the
farther side of the bed and patted her
hand. Then the big doctor boy, who
had been standing looking down on
her for spell with the funniest look
on his face, suddenly sat down be-
side her and with his fingers on her
wrist, leaned over and kissed her,
too.
How do you feel?" he asked.
Strong enough to box your ears
for takin' liberties!" she retorted;
but she didn't slap very hard-oh, no!
for she liked it. But what was the
matter with them, they acted so
strange? Maybe they'd come to get
her ready to move. But the doctor
was speaking.
MRS. Sinclair, I've done my best to
get you out of bed in a professional
way, but I've failed" he said sternly,
though his eyes were twinkling. Now,

"Me-a rich-woman?" she repeat

Yes, you,'' Robbie affirmed.
"Then I'll not be bur-that is, l

said decidedly; then added, Land!

The elder Mrs. Sinclair had just

into the drawing-room.

drew an easy chair near her guest

off to exclaim, advancing to meet her
friend, Il am so glad you came! We
were just about to speak of the con

mother dear" Again she indicated
the easy chair; but the elder Mrs
Sinclair, laying aside her costly furs
seated herself squarely on little gilt
chair and, inclining her head, allowed
the obsequious Cecile to remove a
beautiful "old woman's bunnit,
trimmed with forget-me-nots, from
her soft, white hair.

"Why, yes. 1t amt good for moth

chuckle. "Silas bought it off'n old
man Benson when his wife died, an
Goin?" she broke off to ask as he
abruptly extended one hand, while
dropping the specimens" into his
pocket with the other.
Yes" he returned hurriedly; but
I'll probably run in this evening"
So Robbie had lost every thing!
She couldn't understand it all just
yet, though she supposed it would
mean that they would have to get
along without that polite Mr.. Temp
kins and all the rest and leave this
beautiful house. There was the farm
left to them, if it came to pinch.
Robbie would love it, but Grace-She
had to laugh, bad as she felt, when
she thought of Grace sleeping in the
little attic chamber and sitting on
the old splint-bottomed hickories.
And the children! Well, she'd like to
see those pert little wax dolls making
mud pies and splashing round in the
duck pond. But Grace would never
go to the farm-she knew that. She
would never be satisfied with any
thing less than she had now; and
likely, if she was beautiful and smart
like Grace, instead of being an old
fashioned no account, she'd feel the
the same way, she admitted loyalty.
The doctor did not come back that
night, as he had promised, but Rob-
bic, strangely excited and unstrung,
spent an hour with her, talking about
the old place. He even spoke of the
Ridge, and she told him how the doc
tor had run off with the specimens
he had picked up when he was little
boy Later Grace had come in, and
though she was very pale and silent,
she had kissed her good-night-some-
thing so unusual that it brought the
tears to the older woman's eyes.
Neither Robbie nor Grace mentioned
what had happened, however, and
when she remembered how she had
gotten the truth out of the doctor, she
decided to say nothing herself. Dur
ing the next few days she felt sub
dued excitement among those about
her; even the doctor acted more like
a big happy boy than anything else,
racing up and down stairs to see her
a half dozen times a day instead of
his customary one visit. She wond-
cred YEARLY if he charged Robbie for
all of them. Surely not, when, lots
of times, he didn't give her a speck
of medicine, but just sat and visited
and asked her questions about the
farm. Dear, dear! She wished he
wouldn't, for they brought back mem
cries that nearly broke her old heart
her weary old heart, she told her
self, that longed inexpressibly for
rest.
Then Robbie went away ON bust
ness, they told her; and though, to
her surprise and joy, Grace spent
hours with her where she had minutes
heretofore, she missed her boy ter
ribly.
One night, however, when she was
feeling particularly blue, the three of
them came trooping into her room.
Robbie kissed her and gave her a
bear hug, as he used to call it when
