CATHOLIC YOUNG MEN AND
TRADE UNIONS.

Socialism works with great persis-
tence, and with no mean success, to
reach the young men who will sooner
or later find themselves in the ranks
of the industrial army. A Socialist ap-
peal at hand calls Young Men to the
'FRONT.'" This struggle for class eman-
cipation has given many hard day
This struggle is coming more and
more to a crisis and the failure or
victory lies in the bosom of the flu
ture. 1t is necessary for us to Undue
the young men with the spirit of the
proletarian class struggle, so that they
may be fit to enter the breach where
we fall and to carry the battle to vic
tory" In the face of the campaign
Of Socialism for the young men, it is
an added duty of Catholic young mems
societies and their national organiza-
tions, such as the Catholic Young
Mems National Union and others, to
provide for an intelligent preparation
of their constituents and members for
active participation in the Industrial
campaigns into which they will be If
resistibly drawn. Catholic young men
should be intelligently guided into the
trade union movement.

are filled with the sense of hurry We
must study, contemplate, reflect upon
it's meaning. We cannot enjoy nature
or study her in a hurry, any more
than we can get happiness in a hurry,
or really enjoy a luxurious banquet
when in a hurry to rush for train.
Nature will not be pursued in this way
Nature will not reveal her beauty,
her joy, her splendor, her magnifi-
cence, or her sublimity to the selfish
or the hurried soul. She thinks too
much of her great treasures of beauty,
the marvellous mysteries of her being,
to fling them out to the penurious,
greedy, hurried soul, to the casual
eye, to those who are rushing along
at railroad speed. No one can sue
cessfully WOO and win her who can
not appreciate her, study her, take
time to observe her. She tells her
secrets and reveals her mysteries and
beauties only to those who can wait,
who take time to think, to ponder; to
those who can appreciate and love
them well enough to spend time with
her

THE CHILDREN'S HOUR.
THE QUEENS CROWN.

A pretty story is told of a pious
little girl who every day climbed a
steep, rocky mountain-side to crown
with roses weather-beaten statue
of the Blessed Virgin. No morning
passed out the devout child accom-
plished her self-imposed task. One day
she was i'll, so ill that she could not
leave her bed. Her greatest grief was
that today her homely little shrine
would be without it's usual chaplet
of fresh, blooming roses. She said
the Rosary with unwonted fervor and
at the close fell into deep slumber
and dreamed beautiful dream. She
saw our Blessed Lady herself, nowise
resembling the plain little statute.
On her head was wreath of the
fairest, richest, elling
roses, flowers such as earth could not
produce. A soft, soul-stirring voice
said graciously: Daughter, every
day thou didst crown my statute with
roses, but today thou has crowned my
self with thy priceless Rosary. Dear
to me is the devotion thou payest my
image; welcome indeed are thy wood
land blossoms, but dearest to me is
thy fervent Rosary"

METHODIST MINISTER PAYS
TRIBUTE.

In the Chicago Inter Ocean there
appeared recently sermon by Rev.
Charles Bayard Mitchell, D. D., LII. D.,
who is said to be the most widely
known Methodist minister in the West
and is pastor of St. James church,
Chicago. Among other things, DR..
Mitchell said: 'I like the Roman Cath
Ollie Church because it stands so i'm
movably in it's allegiance to Jesus
Christ as very God; because it be-
lieves in the religious training of it's
children, and, at great sacrifice of
time and money, does it; it stands for
the purity of the home life and the
sanctity of the marriage vows. Thank
God for that Church's strong and
clear protest against the cheap di-
vorce mills which disgrace our Ameri-
can civilization. like it because it
is tremendously in earnest to stem the
tide of a goddess materialism.
81 especially thank God for the
stand that Church takes in this land
against anarchy on the one hand and
an impossible Socialism on the other"

company; he is tender towards the
bashful, gentle towards the distant,
and merciful towards the absurd; he
can recollect to whom he is speak
ing; he guards against unreasonable
illusions or topics which may irri-
tate; he is seldom prominent in con-
versation, and never wearisome. He
makes light of favors when he does
them, and seems to be receiving when
he is comforting. He never speaks of
himself except when compelled, never
defends himself by mere retort; he
has no ears for SANDER or gossip, is
scrupulous in imputing motives to
those who interfere with him, and in
terprets everything for the best. He
is never mean or little in his disputes,
never takes unfair advantage, never
mistakes personalities or sharp say
ings for arguments, or insinuates evil
which he dare not say out, From a
long-sighted prudence he observes the
maxim of the ancient sage, that we
should ever conduct ourselves towards
our enemy as if he were one day to be
our friend"
The Cardinals definition of gen.
tleman does not end with these words:
you can find it for yourself in his
"Idea of University" page 204. It
will be found on examination, to con-
tain the principles which give man
power to make his own life and that of
his felIow-beings cheerful and pleas
ant And life is short enough and
hard enough to need all the kindness,
all the cheerfulness, all the gentle
ness; that we can put into it.

Patricia now got angry and an

Outside the kitchen door she stop

answered Patrick.
Perhaps this is where can do an
act of charity, as Father Doane asked
us to- thought Dot, and running into
the kitchen she surprised Margaret
completely by asking her if she could
write the letter for her.
"Why, mercy, child, couldn't think
of such a thing" cried Margaret.
But Dorothy pleaded so hard that
at last she consented.

Dot the pen, 81 save money for my

Dorothy's chief wish was to be like

CHATS WITH YOUNG MEN.
What Makes a Gentleman?

The Christian gentleman is the
highest type: he may be a hero as
we'll as a gentleman. Culture pro-
duces another type, and Cardinal
Newman thus describes him. The
Cardinal begins by saying that ''it is
almost a definition of gentleman to
say that he is one who never inf1icts
pain. This description" he continues,
"is both refined, and, as far as it goes,
accurate. The gentleman is mainly
occupied in merely removing the OBJ
stacles which hinder the free and un-
embarrassed action of those about
him; and he concurs with their move
ments rather than take the initiative
himself. The benefits may be con-
sidered as parallel to what are called
comforts or conveniences in arrange
ments of a personal nature: like an
easy-chair or good fire, which do
their part in dispelling cold or fatigue,
though nature provides both means of
rest and animal heat without them.
The true gentleman in like manner
carefully avoids whatever may cause a
with whom he is cast,-all clashing
of opinion or collision of feeling, all
restraint or suspicion or gloom or re-
sentment-his great concern being
to make every one at their, ease or at
home. He has his eyes on all the

No one can wholly divorce himself
from frequent contact with nature
without serious loss or Gripping de-
terioration We all came out of the
earth; and it is by coming in frequent
contact with it that we regain our
lost poise and vigor. We have a
peculiar love for nature because we
are a part Of it, we came from it, we
are composed of the same elements
that enter into the rose, the fruit,
the plant, the tree. This is our natural
home, and we can not live under the
artificial conditions of the city without
serious loss of power and certain de-
terioration.
We can not get the meaning out of

ter was not pretty, but he looked very
knowing, and Albert declared that he
understood every word that was
spoken to him. But Peter was not q
great favorite with everybody. His
manners were by no means perfect
and he had mania for pecking at and
swallowing everything he could. In
deed, he managed to get away with
so many odd things that Albert often
wondered what he must look like in
side.
The old gentleman who lived next
door especially disliked Peter. Per
haps he did not like to be awakened
so early in the morning. At all events
he objected to Peters constant visits;
for, as there was no. fence between
the back yards, the rooster frequently
showed a sociable disposition.

morning when Albert rushed in. 20

think? That cross old Mr.. Hobson
had bought a load of kindling and
Peter was hopping around when he
went to pay the man for them, and
he dropped gold piece, and now he
says Peters swallowed it."
Here Albert paused breathless.
Mamma laughed, then she looked
grave. 81 hope not she said.
81 know he didn't" cried Albert;
"and Mr.. Hobson says he ought to be
killed so he can get his money"
Co." said mamma.
"Yes," continued Albert; and I've
locked Peter up for fear he'll go over
there and get hurt"
"Well, DEAR" said mamma, 'you
must not blame Mr.. Hobson too much.
He is not well, and to lose his money
worries him very much"
Albert went down into the yard.
Mr.. Hobson was laboriously trying to
put away the load of kindling. He
was muttering to himself, and when
he saw Albert he fronwed dreadfully.
Suddenly a thought came to the lit
tie boy. ''I'll put away your wood y
he said.
The old man looked amazed, then
he said gruffly: "All right, but you
needn't expect anything"
st, I DON'T" replied Albert cheer
fully.
He went to work whistling. All at
once he saw something bright shining
amongst the wood. He looked closer,
and there was the gold piece. Albert
picked it up with a whoop and ran
to Mr.. Hobson. Here's your money, -
he cried.
The old man was much pleased.
You're an honest boy" he said.
$50 is Peter an honest rooster"
said Albert proudly.
He could scarcely wait to tell his
mother and to let poor Peter out of
prison.

Typical Food
Eggs form highly nutritious, con-
centrated food; and as they contain
all the elements in the right proper
ton to support the body, they are
classified as typical food. They should
be eaten in combination with foods
that are rich in starch, such as bread,
potatoes, rice, etc. The digestive or
gans will then have more to act upon,
certain amount of bulk being neces-
sary.
A pound of eggs (nine) is equivalent
in nutrition to pound of beef. Eggs
are cheap for the healthy person, only
when the cost does not exceed 10 cents
per dozen.

THE PARAcLETE.
Written for The Catholic Bulletin
by Bernard r. Brady.)

The temple of God was opened in
Heaven"
Descending, the Paraclete came;
A rushing wind sounded, the welkin
was riven;
And Pentecost circled with flame
The heads of the twelve Galileans
forlorn,
And kindled their clay with Divinity's
spark
The beacon of Peters infallible
barque,
The Church of eternal salvation is
born.
Then forth from their hiding, impetu-
GUS grown,
Inspired, impelled from above,
Apostles of Christ, they go, fearless,
alone
To conquer the world with His love;
They preach to the slave, and he
kisses his chains;
The prisoner sings in his desolate
cell;
The sage learns to worship; the skep-
tic, to tell
OF truth which philosophy never at
tains.
The Spirit Divine pours the balsam of
love
On the wounds of the passion-scarred
world;
Grace, dripping it's sweetness from
Heaven above,
The earth with it's dew is bepearled
In hut of plebian and senator's home,
A hundred, thousand tongues tell
the glad story,
Till the arms of the Cross spread in
effable glory
Above the broad sweep of Imperial
Rome.
Crime still 'mong the Christians? Aye,
shades in scene
Illumined with martyrdom's blood;
Mid loftiest mountains the wales in
tervene;
Banks serve but to deepen a flood.
Pure souls by celestial sweetness
enticed,
Nor passions wild tempest nor vio-
lence heed;
The Paraclete's breath is on city and
mead
The age of the Caesars is conquered
for Christ

TO THE QUEEN OF MAY: A SONG.

o Mary, dearest Mother,
Thy month is come again,
OF all the months most welcome
To angels and to men
The month of bird and blossoms,
The foWery, sunny May,
When earth and sky, dear Mother,
To thee fond tribute pay.
And so, o dearest Mother,
3efOre the simple shrine,
Which we have decked with flowers
Because we call it thine,
We kAeel to scatter incense
And prayer and song for thee:
Look down, o dearest Mother,
Look down, to hear and see.
Look down on us thy children,
o Mother dear, look down;
The mothers face beams kindly
When other faces frown:
Though thou art Queen of Heaven,
And reign'st in joy above,
Yet still, o dearest Mother,
Look down on us with love-
Ali, we have forced thee often,
All loving as thou art,
To turn in sadness from us,
Thine eyes-but not thy heart:
In grief, but not in anger,
Though we have tried thee sore:
Yet, smile again, dear Mother,
Wen vex thy heart no more.
BY Him who calls thee Mother,
And bids us do the same
By Him, thy Son, who gives us
A brothers tender name
BY all the love that yearneth
Within thine own pure heart,
o Mother, be Mother,
And act mothers part.
In heavens eternal May-time
Whose sunlight is the Lamb,
Ia the gladness and the glory,
The rapture and the calm
Well praise thee and we'll bless thee,
With happy saints above,
II now, o mighty Mother,
Thou look on us with love.

Why Eggs Spoil

Why Eggs Spoil
Eggs spoil easily. Owing to the por-
GUS structure of the shell, bateria en-
ter, either from the place where the
eggs have been lying, or by means of
the air that rushes in as the water
evaporates. These grow and decom-
position takes place.
Fresh EGGS
1. A fresh egg has a thick rough
shell.
2. A fresh egg sinks when drop
ped in cold water.
8. A fresh egg looks clear when
held between the eye and strong
light.
How to Preserve Eggs
When eggs come from the market,
they should be washed and kept in a
cool dry place. Eggs may be kept
for long time by packing them, small
end down, in substances that will ex-
clude air. Elk, sawdust, bran, salt.
When using several eggs, break each
one separately into cup. In this way
poor egg may be detected. The yolk
may be kept by covering it with cold
water
How to Break an Egg
Hold egg in left hand and crack
shell by striking it sharply with a
knife. or strike it sharply against
the edge of dish.
To Separate YoII< from White
Slip the yolk from one piece of shell
to the other several times. Slip the
white onto plate or deep platter, and
drop the yolk into bowl
For slightly beaten eggs, yolk or
white, use a fork.
For well beaten yoIk, use Dover egg
beaten
For a well beaten white, use a wire
egg beater.
Do not allow the beaten white to
stand, but use it Immediately.
Do not stir after beating.
Beating eggs entangles air in the
albumen and renders them light. (The
white is composed of a solution of pro-
ted shut up in millions of cells which
are ruptured in beating.)
| Eggs used to tighten mixture are
beaten stir
Eggs used to thicken mixture are
beaten slightly

PETER AND THE GOLD PIECE.

Albert Gray was very fond of pets.
He had possessed almost every varie-

now Albert felt very sure that nothing
would happen to his latest pet, big
rooster, whom he named Peter. Pc

Housekeeping.

Keep thy heart with all diligence,
for out of it are the issues of life
Heart-keeping is much like house
keeping. There must be continual
sweeping out and clearing out of that
which is useless or offensive. If heart
cleaning could be done up once for
all, then the Christian might dis
charge all his graces, and have an easy
time Of It, And just because the as
sanlts Of subtle temptations are so
constant, and the uprisings of sinful
passions are so frequent, and the task
of keeping the inward man what it
ought TO be is so difficult many a one
who begins a religious life gets dis
couraged and makes a wretched fail
ure. The question with every Chris
tian is: Shall these evil Amalekites
of temptation burn up all my spiritual
possessions and overrun my soul?
Shall outward assaults or inward weak
ness drive me to encouragement and
disgrace me before my master and be-
fore the world? Or shall they drive
me to Jesus Christ. who will always
