COURAGE IN FAILURE.

The boys face was dull and red I'M
der his tan. He would rather have
taken any kind of punishment than
face his father, but he went straight
to the Office.
"Tve failed,'' he said briefly. Then
he turned his back and stood at the
window trying to whistle.
"Dick," his father called.
The boy turned, the whistle dying
on his lips, his eyes full of surprise.
He knew how much his father wanted
him to pass, yet there was no reproof
in his voice; he was even smiling a
little and his grip brought rush OF
dumb gratitude to the boys throat
Began to make up too late, didn't
your his father asked.
The boy nodded.
'eWell, it was a failure of course
whether it stays failure or not de-
ponds upon what it has done to you.
Failure is one of the commonest
things in life failure in mans bust
ness, in his ambitions, in his hopes.
Jewett failed the other day-do you
know what his creditors are going to
do?"
NO." the boy answered eagerly.
"Set him up again. It was mag
nificent failure conditions he couldn't
hold out against without dishonesty,
so he let everything else go and kept
his honor: and his creditors are going
to help him to his feet because they
believe in him. Now, Dick, believe
in my boy, and / am going to let him
decide for himself. I'll find you a
position, or-you can take the year
over and try again. That would be
tough, / know-perhaps too tough for
you. shall not say word IL you

Fish suitable for boiling are, sal
mon, halibut, cod, trout, etc.
Fish suitable for frying are the
white-feshed.
Baked Fish
Select a fish weighing from 21s to
pounds. Bake with or without
filling.
Clean and wipe fish. Rub inside
with salt. Fill with stuffing and sew
together. Cut diagonal gashes ~
inches apart on both sides of the fish
and place piece of bacon or salt
pork fat in each cash. Brush with
melted butter, sprinkle with salt and
pepper, dredge with -four tie in shape
of letter S and bake in a dripping pan.
When the flour is Drowned haste the
fish every ten minutes. Cook until
flesh is firm and separated easily
from the bones. When soaked, slip
onto hot platter, garnish with pars-
ley and lemon; cut into fancy shapes
1t may be served with white sauce or
tomato sauce, egg sauce or butter.
Fried Fish
Clean and wipe fish. Season with
salt and pepper, roll in cornmeal,

Sauted Fish
Prepare fish as for frying and cook
in a small amount of fat in frying
pan.
Boiled Fish
Clean and wipe fish; tie in a
cheesecloth to hold fish together and
to prevent the scum from adhering
to the fish. Place the fish on a rack
or drying basket to keep the shape
and make it easier to remove from
the water. Cook in enough boiling
sailed, calculated water to cover fish,
using 2 tsp salt and 2 tbsp vinegar
to each quart of water. The salt
gives flavor and the vinegar or lemon
juice keeps the flesh white. Allow
about Is minutes to the pound.
Flesh should be firm and separate

on hot platter, and serve with Hol-
landaise sauce.

GOD KNEW BEST.
Interesting Legend of the Olive Trees
in the Desert.

There was once an aged hermit in
the Egyptian desert, we are told, who
thought it would be well with him if
he had an olive tree near his cave. So
he planted little tree, and, thinking
it might want water, he prayed to God
for rain, so rain came and watered his
tree. Then he thought some warm
sun to swell it's buds would be advisa-
BILE, so he prayed, and the sun shone
out.
Now, the nursing looked feeble, and
the old man deemed it would be well
for the tree if frost we're to come and
brace it. He prayed for the frost and
boar frost settled that night on bar
and beam. Next he believed hot
southerly wind would suit his tree and
after prayer the south wind blew upon
his olive tree and-it died.
Some little while after the hermit
visited a brother hermit, and 10! by
his cell door stood fourishing olive
tree.
How came that goodly plant there,
brother?'' asked the unsuccessful
hermit.
Il planted it, and God blessed it,
and it grew"
"Ah, brother, I, too, planted an olive
and when l thought it wanted water I
asked God to give it rain, and the rain
came; and when I thought it wanted
sun l asked and the sun shone; and
when I deemed it needed strengthen
ing, prayed and the frost came God
gave me all I demanded for my tree
as saw fit, and yet it is dead
"And l, brother" replied the other
hermit, 81 left my tree in Gods hands
for He knew what it wanted better
than IT,

One of the measures against re-
ligion advocated by Socialists who are
frankly atheistic in their view is the
taxation of all church property, re-
marks "The Register" New York
Unwilling to allow for any service to
the State on the part of the Church,
they denounce tax exemption for the
latter as unjust to the community at
large
Something of this idea of civic
loss through tax remission on church
property is conveyed in Bulletin No.
ga of the New York Bureau of NUNS
ipal Research, dated July IL, 1918,
which reports a large shrinkage in
annual revenue to the city through
these exemptions. The bulletin gives
the total value of exempted property,
exclusive of that owned by city, State
or nation, as 1911, 543,52S, on which
the taxes RENTED would come to
$6,700,000.
In his communication to "The Sun"
already quoted Mr.. Green points out
that the "omniscient bureau" has
focused his attention on what the city
does for the churches and has over
looked statement of returns made.
so ultra-fair-minded a body is
bound in conscience to issue Bulle-
tin 635 and announce just how much
is saved annually to the city by some
of those exempt properties, says Mr..
Green. 'The various Catholic parish
schools, all exempt, have, it seems,
$4,000 pupils in them. Each would
cost the city $50 year, so that one
Church alone pays the tax exemptions

LESSON XII
FISH.
Tissue Building Food.)

Fish is the animal food, next in
Importance to that of meat. The fish
flesh is less stimulating and nourish-
ing than meat, but is considered to be
more easily digested. The term fish
includes, besides the back bone fish,
the shell fish. The backboned fish are
divided into two great classes, fresh
water fish and salt water fish. Fish
is classified into white-feshed and red
fieshed. In the white-feshed fish most
of the oil is secreted in the liver. Elk.
White fish, Haddock, Cod, Perch, Sun
fish, etc. In the red-fleshed fish the
oil is distributed throughout the flesh.
Elk Salmon, Shad, Lake-trout, Her.
ring, etc. The white-fleshed fish is
more easily digested than the red
fleshed and should therefore, be Sc
lected for invalids, convalescents, or
those suffering from weak digestion.
Fish should be eaten while fresh and
in season. Stale fish is poisonous.
How to Select Fresh Fish
Select fish that has bright eyes
and gills, shiny scales, firm flesh and
is free from disagreeable odor.
How to Clean Fish
Remove the scales by drawing q
knife over the fish, beginning at the
tail and working toward the head
Wipe the fish inside and out with a
@A6 fhnU
wipe with a clean dry cloth kept fol
the purpose. Head and tail may OF
may not be taken off, according to
the manner of cooking.
How to Skin a Fish
Remove fins along the back with
sharp knife Cut off narrow STRIP
of skin the entire length of the back
Loosen the skin from bony part Of
gills and draw it off very carefully
one side at time.
How to Bone Fish
Clean and skin; begin at the tai
and run sharp knife under the fest
close to the back working toward the
head. Turn and repeat on the othel
side. Pick out any small bones that
may remain.
Methods of Cooking Fish
BroiIing, baking and steaming are
the best methods.
Fish suitable for broiling are spill
mackerel, white-fish. cod, shad, trout
etc. sliced halibut, salmon, and small
fsh.
Fish suitable for baking whole
are white-nsh. cod. haddock, small
salmon. shad, pike, etc.

LAST WORKS OF GREAT coMPos-
Frs.

1t is curious how the great COM
posers of opera have turned their at
tention to religion at the end of their
careers. The last work of Wagner,
"Parsifal," though music drama"
is a work of decidedly religious i'm
port. Mozart's last, and perhaps great
est work was Requiem" Verdi also
completed his career as a composer
by writing a Requiem" of marvellous
beauty Even the frivolous Rossini
turned his attention to religious mat
tiers, and his last work was the "Sta-
bat Mater"

OF the many beautiful pictures
That adorn my room so bright,
There's one that holds my attention
AS l journey into the night.
IT'S the radiant likeness of youth
Arguing with philosophers cid,
Whose words of compelling grace,
And pleading their attention held.
| see the calm yet earnest eyes,
Beaming on .sages old.
I almost hear the magic words,
That of His wisdom told.
Gray are they who listen,
To this youth of tender years.
Giving Him of their seats,
A place reserved for seers.
This is the beautiful picture
That fingers into the night.
The youthful, pleading, radiant Christ
In the Temple of ancient Light.

CAN THE DANCE BE PURIFIED2

1t would occupy pages to write the
history of the dance, although it be-
gan with religion as did the drama.
In its earlier stages and when it be-
came form of recreation for the peo-
pie, it was full of beautiful meaning
1t was but another form of poetry, and
it has become corrupt and meaning
less or full of vicious meaning, just
as the so-called poetry has become to-
day.
1t was a peoples expression, and
was beautiful and sweet so long as
the people were simple and good. But
when a people becomes corrupt their
dance degeRerates, slowly becoming
filled with evil suggestion. Why not
bring back the old folk dances? 1t
will be hard task judging from fruit
less attempts of the old-timers to keep
the quadriIle alive, but it could be ac-
compIished.
The Irish Dance.
In Chicago and San Francisco there
has been a determined effort to pre-
serve the Irish folk dances, and in
those cities, particularly in Chicago,
young Irish-America finds the jig and
reel and hornpipe quite as good fun as
any Turkey Trot or Tango. The
Gaelic Junior Dancing Clubs have
been, for the last five or six years,
a good example of what Irish dancing
can do for young Americans. Those
members of the various divisions of
the clubs who have attended the
classes and parties show physical de-
velopment as we'll as a moral one that
is a recommendation in itself for Irish
dancing.
The Irish dance is a clean dance.
It's steps are intricate, and the physi-
cal enjoyment got out of them is great.
There is nothing suggestive of the i'm
moral in any of them. They are the
pure expression of youthful joy. One
cannot be unhappy long at an Irish
dance. The exercise sets the blood
to coursing so that it sends all the
blue devils out of the system. The
grace of carriage that results from the
jig and the country reel is evident to
those interested in the Irish dance
movement. Comparing the beginners
with the picked dancers one easily
remarks the difference in every action
A Catholic Reason.
Another reason for the encourage
ment of the Irish dance among oul
children is one that bears a theolog
ical hint ia it. The Gaelic Juniors
of Chicago have a membership com
prised of children from five years tt
sixteen. Those over sixteen graduate
into the Dramatic Club, a department
of the organization, and some of them
remain in the Choral Club, another
branch.
In city like Chicago the children
of Catholic parents often find their
amusement in mixed gatherings, and
the mixed marriage results-if moth
ing worse. Ia the organization of the
Gaelic this point was not at first con
sidered, but its patrons now see the
young people, children of the same
race and religion forming attachment

When 1t became known that
