For Roumania's Charity.

Carmen Sylvia, the poetess queen OF
Roumania, is issuing new series of
postage stamps to aid the charities in
which she is interested. Unlike most
stamps of this kind, the Roumanian
queens issue is good for all mailing
purposes. The four designs of the
new series will represent CD the queen
of Roumania spinning, the motto on
the stamp being God guide our
hand" (2} the queen weaving, motto
woman weaves the future of the
country" 90 the queen nursing a
wounded soldier, motto "The wounds
dressed and the tears wiped away"
and (4) an allegorical picture, motto,
But, glory, honor and peace to all
that do good" Another set of stamps
Of similar character, issued in 1907,
bore a picture representing the Prin-
cess Maria and her children receiving
a poor family at the gates of their
palace

passes along, noting little till he ar
rives within sight of the depot where
some freight is being handled, and a
trunk or two wheeled down the plat

binary or unsuggestive, but it has its
attraction for him, for he looks up as
he goes by and follows the passage of

In 1851 an old Cornish fishwife of
eighty-four, named Mary Callinacks
walked from Penzance to London TO
see the great exhibition in Hyde park.
The distance is nearly 300 miles. The
old lady created sensation and was

her intention, but, Of course, was not
permitted to walk back.

Lloyd Georges First Narrow Escape


Mr.. Lloyd George will never die

how his life nearly ended abruptly
when he was year old. He was seiz-
ed with Group one winters night at
Haverfordwest, where his parents
lived, and his mother had to hurry
through the snow to find doctor. He
arrived when the baby was almost at
his last gasp and barely succeeded in
pulling him through the attack.
Many years later at Cardiff the same
doctor came up to the present chan
cellor Of the exchequer after meet
ing and told him of this incident, add
ing that as he went home that win
ter's night he had wondered whether
it had been really worth while to save
the baby's life, since there was no
prospect before the baby but the life
of an agricultural laborer.-London

THE ENCYCLOPEDIA PRESS.

Incorporated, is the name which the
publishers of the Catholic Encyclo-
pedia have adopted in place of Rob-
ert Appleton Company, the name un-
der which they were Incorporated in
1905 for the purpose of publishing the
Encyclopedia.
The new name has been chosen to
do away with the confusion that had
gradually arisen between the former
name and that of the older house of
D. Appleton & Company.
When the Catholic Encyclopedia
was started, as there was no Catholic
publishing house ready to undertake
its publication, special company
was formed for this purpose. This
company was always a distinct cor.
poration, entirely Independent of ev-
cry other publishing house, with its
own capital, officers and board of di.
rectors consisting Of men prominent
in Catholic affairs. 1t was named
Robert Appleton Co. because two
members Of the Appleton family who
had formerly been partners in the d.
Appleton Company, but who had re.
tired from the same, offered their
services for the purpose of publish.

can hardly be expected to advocate
anything else. II there is no future

will be righted and the sorrows of the

But given the existence Of God, the
divinity of Christ and the immortality
Of the soul. suicide becomes the black
est of all sins. ST. Thomas classes it
as the worst sin in all the calendar
OF sins.
With all the vicissitude there are in
life, with all the marvellous changes
that take place in the space of a
single day, who in his senses could
advocate suicide as justifiable in any
circumstance? 1t Is depth of deg
radiation too low to think about.

JOHN O'cALLAGhAN.

The sudden death of John O'Cal-
laghan in Boston last Sunday is the
cause of deep regret for his thousands
of friends In America and Ireland. Mr..
O'Callaghan was an able man and,
whether one agrees with him in his
political views or not one cannot re-
strain admiration for the self-sacrific-
ing labor with which he fought for
the cause of his country. He pos
sessed ambition and ability. All his
talents he devoted unstintedly and
without remuneration to the work of
pushing in America the movement for
tho self government of Ireland.
He entered the newspaper profess
sion when mere boy and continued
in 1t till his death. His success as a
journalist is attested to by the Bos-
ton Globe on the editorial staff of
which he served for twenty five
years. In an editorial that paper says
his death takes from the Boston
Globe one of the best writer's this pa
per has ever had on its staff" Con-
tinuing, it says:

casion to point out the excellence of
his work as a newspaper man."
Mr.. O'Callaghan was but forty
eight years of age. So far as his
work Is concerned, it might be said
that he had only fairly begun. 1t is
to be regretted that he could not have
been spared to see the fruition of the
cause for which he labored SO long.

former rate was lower than the ex-
press rates. At the time it went into
effect it was thought the addition OF
the new service would cause q seri-
Gus loss to the postofflce department.
The recent announcement of the
Postmaster General shows that the
service has not been carried at loss,
but that the rate is higher than the
government needs to charge in order
to make parcel post self-sustaining.
The striking question the circum-
stance suggests is. How much were
the express companies making on the
commodities that are now being
handled through parcel post? 1t
would appear that the express rate
was excessive in the extreme.

POPE Plus AND PEACE,

Pope Plus Is said to be engaged in
writing an encyclical to be issued
Aug. 9, the tenth anniversary of his
elevation to the chair Of Peter, in
which he will set forth a plan for in
ternational peace. 1t is said that he
will call upon archbishops and bish-
ops of the Catholic Church every
where to use their influence to bring
about permanent international peace
There Is no doubt of the interest of
the Holy Father in the frrtherance of
world peace. He would like to see it
realized and is doubtless ready to use
his good offices toward it's realization.
But there Is a question about the ex-
tent to which he will take the initia-
tive in urging nations to make peace
compacts. The Pope knows that
peace is no more likely to be attained
through the medium of alliances than
divorce in nom Catholic churches is
to be prohibited by the nature of the
marriage VOW. The interest Of the
Catholic Church in the peace move
ment is not Of the kind that tends to
compel peace by legislation and
agreements any more than its inter-
est in the temperance movement is
in the direction of prohibition.
The interest of the Church in the
temperance movement is in the direc-
ton of teaching the people to shun
liquor rather than to prohibit them
from getting it. There Is wide diff
ference between total abstinence and
prohibition. In treating of the peace
movement in his encyclical the Pops
will doubtless urge upon the nations
to enter into the spirit of Christian
ity which bids men to love one an
other. His peace propaganda will be

not this city should have a new char

the fifteen commissioners appointed to

SUMMER READING.

A glance through the leading month
ly and weekly periodicals for the
month of July can hardly fail to i'm
press on the reader that publishers
are agreed on one thing. They all
believe that pictures Of country scenes
and stories of outdoor life is the kind
of matter that will appeal most to the
average reader. All the magazines
and all the weeklys that carry stories
rather than news make a speciality of
this kind of reading during the sum-
mer.
A little consideration will reveal the
reason for this. It is the natural de-
duction from a psychological law. We
are interested most in knowing about
the things that are nearest to us and
that affect US most. When the hot
weather bears down upon us we want
to know how hot 1t is and how to get
cool. The thought Of GOODNESS natur-
ally suggests the woods, the streams.
the lakes and the open generally.
Anything that will Z. enlighten us on
how others are keeping cool is of in
terest to US. 5stys
+ Then there is Ito vacation idea.
Most people wanthto get away from
the dust and heat Of the city for a
time, during the summer months.
Again their interest Is attracted by
anything that tells of the woods,
streams and lakes. One man wants
to know where the best fishing is to
be found another where the best
bathing can be had, and a third is in
terested in boating. And SO the in
terest in outdoor life spreads.
The fact that the magazines run so
heavily to this kind of reading in
summer is a strong indication Of the
taste Of the reading public. Whatever
may be said in criticism of magazines
and newspapers, it is nevertheless,
true that they respond to public SEN
timent. 1t is their business to make
the broadcast appeal possible. On their
ability to do this their financial sue
cess depends.
