AN EDIFYING GRAVE-SIDE
CUSTOM.

In a recent issue of ''The Irish
Ecclesiastical Record" the Rev. P.
Sheridan describes beautiful Gus
tom observed at the grave-side in
at least one cemetery in France,
namely, the sprinkling Of holy
water on the remains Of the de-
parted by relatives of the deceased
and by all who are present at the
funeral after the priest has per-
formed that rite. We quote the
paragraph:
Many Of those around joined
in the responses Ito the prayers
said by the priest)-a custom
which, I think, our own laity
might be taught to initiate with
advantage; the attitude Of all was
devotional, edifying, and sympa-
thetic, and that part of the cere-
mony which everyone present
joins in performing was done with
a thoroughness and fervour which
was well becoming the solemnity
of the occasion, which one feels
could only be prompted by a fer
vent religious belief. I refer to
the customary sprinkling of holy
water over the remains. When
the priest has concluded the cere-
mony by the prescribed sprinkling
Of holy water he hands the asper-
sorry to the nearest relative, who
performs a similar function, and
so on in rotation, till every per-
son present has done likewise,
each one in doing so making the
Sign Of the Cross over the remains.
Performed in a detailed, ceremon-
ious manner, it looked what it
really was-a true act of religion
and one might notice that not a
few paused for moment as if in
prayer, and then tremendously
handing the aspersory to his
neighbor, and having said a word
Of sympathy to the bereaved rela-
tives, departed"
Would it not be well to intro
duce this edifying custom at all
Catholic burials in this country

THE PRICE OF LIQUOR.

The amount of money we spend
every year in the United States, di-
rectly or indirectly, for liquor would
give a two weeks vacation to every
man and child in the land, with their
board and expenses paid. We spend
$1,50O,0O0,000 year for alcoholic
drinks, and we spend as much more
for judges, police, jails, poorhouses,
and insane asylums to take care of the
people who get into trouble through
hard drink. That makes $4,000 000,-
900, or $50 apiece for everybody.
For a family of father, mother and
four children it amounts to $3.50
year, nice sum for an outing in the
country.
1t is estimated that 100000 men
and women in the United States are
every day either mentally or physical
ly disabled for work as result of
drink.
If it could be shown that the drink
ing man had better brains, or better
muscles, or better earning power, or
lived longer than the man who did
not drink, there might be some argu-
ment in favor of drink, even in spite
Of all that has just been said. But
thousands of experiments have shown
that the brain worker and the labor
ing man are both at disadvantage if
they drink

A CATHOLIC LORD MAYOR.

1t is interesting to note that
the city of Manchester, England,
in which the Irish patriots, Allen,
Larkin and O'Brien, were put to
death for their fidelity to the
cause Of Ireland nearly fifty years
ago, has just witnessed the in
stallation Of it's first Catholic Lord
Mayor, Alderman McCabe.
The new Lord Mayor belongs
to the class of Catholics who are
respected by every member of the
community on account of their
fidelity to the highest ideals of
religion and statecraft. On the
Sunday after he assumed the du-
ties of Chief Magistrate the new
Lord Mayor attended an early
Mass at the Chapel of Crumpsall
Workhouse where he received
Holy Communion with the inmates
and afterwards spent some time
visiting them and chatting with
them in his genial way. Later, he
attended the eleven o'clock Mass
at st. Chad's on the occasion Of
the, formal re-opening of that
church after decoration.
The following Sunday he paid
state visit to the Church of the
Holy Name where the sermon was
preached by Bishop Casartelli of
Stafford. In the evening he went
to st. Patrick s where Bishop
Vaughan was the preacher.
This evidence of loyalty to the
Church did not escape criticism.
His action in declining to attend
services in the Anglican Cathedral
on the first Sunday after he be-
came Lord Mayor evoked a big
oted outburst from Dean Weldon
which met with universal disap-
proval even among non-Catholics.
The Dean has a reputation for
making such plumbers and it is
not likely that the chorus of con
demnation which his latest ebul-
lition evoked will cure him of the
habit. One thing is certain, it
has increased, if possible, public
respect for the new Lord Mayor.

A HOAX, BUT HANDY.

In 1849, sixty-four years ago,
one William Jeffrey after enjoy

ing, in the monastery.
The Abbott asked for a legal
inquiry, and, gladly enough, the
Protestant dupes of Jeffrey took
him to the monastery to prove his
story. But he soon broke down
and owned that it was wholly
false.
Then by outraged and indig.
nant Protestants he was prose.

months hard labor as a rogue and
a vagabond.
