ONE EVIL Of HIGH PRICED
LAND.

Farmers boys do not see their
way clear to buy land at 500
an acre. They are doubtful
about being able to keep inter-
est and taxes paid on land at
this price. even though they
could pay half the amount at
once. The very prosperity which
has overtaken this generation or
farmers and landowners has dis
couraged the oncoming genera
ton, and the result is more land
ownership by nonfarmers. more
farm tenants and fewer people

Good Heart Makes Good Face.

A good heart, says the Erie Catholic
Chronicle, makes good face-perhaps
not beautiful or classic, but refined,
sincere and noble. The face will shine
with God behind it. There are some
faces even today that at times seem
to have glow upon them. There are
faces that are quiet and uninteresting
in repose, that light up amazingly with
the animation of talking. There are
some who can never get a good photo
graph, because the camera cannot
catch the subtle sparkle of the eye in
which the whole individuality lies.
There are some whom you would not
at first call handsome, whose faces
grow on you with constant acquaint-
ance until they become beautiful to
you. For you see the soul shining
through, you see the splendor of a
noble character glorifying every fea-
ture. True beauty in the soul will
come out in the sweetness, the bright
ness, the quiet glory of the face.

Catholic Belief.

The Catholic church teaches us that
authority comes from God, that integ-
rity of life is the essence of true citi-
zenship, that true character springs
from goodness of life, that as citizens
we may be worthy of the inheritance
of religion and country with which
God has blessed us. AS Catholics we
are proud of our citizenship. We are
Americans all, and we praise God that
we live in land where religious and
civil liberty are guaranteed by con-
stitution. We are not worthy of God,
nor of our religion, we are not worthy
of Gods blessings, unless we love and
serve our country. My religion is that
taught me by the Catholic church, my
politics those taught me by the prin-
ciples on which this republic is built;
my life is equally devoted to both.

Youthful till life's set of sun,
Jealous till the crown is won.

Effect of coIors in Dress.

The stout woman should make a
study of color values. She should
know that yellow much increases her
natural size. She will look nearly a
third larger in gown of gold cloth
than in one of deep brown or dull
green.
Satin makes the stout woman look
bigger because it reflects her figure
1t adds to her curves and makes them
more numerous, SO to speak. This is
true, also, of glossy silks, though none
are so bad as satin.
Blue is slightly enlarging tone.
The woman in blue will look more siz-
able than the woman in black. But it
does not enlarge much.
White is stationary color. 1t
neither increases nor diminishes. The
woman who weighs two hundred
pounds will look her weight in white.
Black, seal brown, navy blue and
the deepest of crimsons are all tones
that decrease the size. This is true
also of royal purple. 1t is said that
royal crimson and royal purple both
were chosen by a certain queen of
England, who found that she was
growing fat. Discarding her wonder.
full blood-colored velvets and her tur-
quoise robes, she ordered that her
throne be a deep royal purple and a
heavy royal crimson. She found that
she looked taller, simmer and much
more pleasing in these tones than in
the others.

Sweet Christmas Bells.

Merry Christmas Church Bells!
That cheer the stilly night,
While myriad stars SO bright,
Make hearts feel strange delight;
And souls in rapture greet,
And little children's feet,
Are hurried on to meet
The hour ye ring!
II.
Sweet. Joyous Christmas Bells!
That ring for rich and poor,
That sound for every door;
Your notes make men implore
Sweet blessings from His hands,
Whose smile rules seas and lands,
And mankind's love commands
What joy ye bring!
Ill.
Most Holy Christmas Bells!
Long, long ago, your chime
Was heard in distant cline,
On that blessed night sublime,
When Mary felt the thrill
That rung from hill to hill.
He came, the Fathers will,

bandelettes are also much worn. They
are fastened at one side either with
bow or jewel, and make a pretty
frame for the face like a graceful
wreath.
Paradise aigrettes are as popular as
ever, and are usually worn quite at the
back, where one may also find the
feathers which will be seen once more
standing straight up skyward and
planted in the masses of hair.
Some lace butterflies may still be
seen, but the last days of summer will
see them fly away like the others be-
cause of their two great popularity
with the "vlugum poecus."

day so bruised and dirty that his moth

perturbation.
"Mercy!" she explained, in horror.
'How on earth, my child, did you get
your clothes and face into such a
state?''

Europe Made Over,

How thoroughly the map of this
section of Europe has been made over
is shown by the figures recently com.
piled by the various participants in
the Balkan wars just ended. 1t will
be observed that Bulgaria, which did
the most damage in the war with Tur.
key, received the least in the distribu.
tion of spoils.
Servia repudiated the ante-bellum
treaty with Bulgaria, and Greece re.
fused to arbitrate it's differences with
the same nation. This led to the sec.
ond war at the end of which, by the
Bucharest treaty. Bulgaria was de.
spoiled of the fruits of its signal vic
tories and gigantic efforts in the strug-
gle against the Ottoman Empire. This
is approximately the territorial di.
vision sanctioned by that treaty:
!. Bulgaria before the war had
S,40O square miles with 100000 in
habitants. After the war it got only
1O,4O0 square miles, with 100000 in.
habitants. Subtracting the 5000
square miles with 100000 Inhabitants,
which Roumania seized, the total area
of Bulgaria is 15,600 square miles,
with 5.O60,000 Inhabitants.
2. Servia before the war had 49,.
200 square miles, with 100000 in.
habitants. After the war it got 1S,4O0
square miles, with 100000 inhabi.
tants, or a total of $1,000 square miles.
with population Of 4,550,000.
3. Greece before the war had &c..
900 square miles, with nearly 3,0O0..
900 of people. After the war it got
$4,000 square miles and 2,120,00O in.
habitants, or a total of $4,000 square
miles, with 4,74O,0OO inhabitants.
4. Montenegro before the war pos.
sessed $500 square miles of land, with
10000 Inhabitants. After the war it
obtained 1000 square miles with $780,.
600 inhabitants, or total of 1900
square miles, with $4,000 inhabitants
s. Roumania before the war had
$4,000 square miles, with popula'
tion of 6,S5O,00O Inhabitants. After
the war it got 5000 square miles with
100000 inhabitants, and now has all
told $500 square miles, and popula'
ton of 7,117,Ooo.
6. European Turkey before the
war had $4,000 square miles, with
6, $50, 900 Inhabitants. After the war
It was left with 10000 square miles
and population of $4,000.
z. Albania, the newest Balkan ma
ton, will contain some $4,000 square
miles, with $4,000 Inhabitants.
Such is the map of the Balkans at
present.-St. Louis Republic.

A Girls Chief Charm.

She was not an attractive girl in
any way, and she knew it. She was
restless, and cross, and unhappy, and
growing more unattractive in looks
and manner as she grew older. Then
an aunt, visiting at her home after a
long residence in distant city sized
up the situation, and for the good of
both the girl and everyone with whom
she came in contact, undertook to pre-
scribe the cure.
Evelyn, do you want to be a tor
ment to yourself and everybody about
you all your life?" was the blunt and
astonishing question she put to her
niece one day.
mo, of course not" was the prompt
and half frightened reply.
You'd rather be sweet and happy
and lovely?" came the next question;
and it brought sincere affirmative
this time. The aunt handed her a
folded paper, and smiled as she said
very kindly:
Follow this magic prescription, and
you will be what you want to be-" and
away she went.
Evelyn read: Every time you want
to frown, smile. Every time a cross
thought comes, think pleasant one.
Every time something nice is done for
you, do something nicer for some one"
For few moments the girl was
crosser than ever. Then common
sense saved the day. She tried the
oure-honestly, truly, prayerfully; and
to her own lifelong joy-to say nothing
Of everybody else-there was soon no
happier, more attractive, more lovable
girl In the place than she.

Arrangement of Hair.

In spite of all the exaggerations and
eccentricities of fashion it must be
admitted that there exists side by
side with these "blizarreries" an un-
doubted sense of style and a harmony
of the ensemble. 1t is for this reason
that the swathed movement, which
seems to be the synthesis of present
costumes. and more especially of the
evening toilettes, is also found ex.
pressed In the new coiffures. The or.
derly bands and the chignon a Tang
laise knotted low on the nape of the
neck seem to have had their day. "On-
doyante ct DIVERSE" the hair will be
now swathed in silky waves round
the head. Sometimes it is arranged
like a small tiara, which gives to the
physiognomy the enigmatic charm Of
an idol.
Sometimes the hair is gathered up
in retreating mass on the head and
arranged la Lamballe. A big butter
fly bow in black or "tete de negre"
tulle may be placed rather high up
above the nape of the neck, filling the
space left by the hair, which is
brushed straight up from the roots.
The tiny fringe worn on the fore
head takes away from this coiffure its
I somewhat too austere look, and it is
sometimes outlined by a string Of
pearls. The same tulle bow may re.
place very successfully for evening
wear the moire or taffetas bow, which
serves to tie the hair of the young
