And this brings me to suggest that
the habit of one of the great writer's
of studying carefully from good die
tionary five words each day is one
from which we might all of us get a
good deal of profit. Or, take good
book of synonyms, for instance, and
learn from it each day five words
somewhat similar, comparing and
weighing carefully the meanings and
values of them. Notice the degrees
of force in the following: to dislike,
to hate, to loathe, to detest, to abhor
each note struck is little stronger,
higher, we might say, like an ascend
ing crescendo scale. So, to instruct,
to teach, to educate are each quite
different in meaning with great nicely
of difference. So rebuke, reprimand,
censure, blame are all of one color but
of how different shades of meaning.
So, too, misfortune, calamity, disas.

Her voice had a ring in it that he
did not recognize; that he felt no
desire to know. His will was still
unbroken though time, and other
things, had bent it. He held her off
from him that he might read the soul

dimly comprehended forms that were
not even thoughts. He realized that
he was cropping in darkness and
groaned under his breath.

from the room, still holding the pre-.

hand, and he suffered her to go. Nay,

of her promise flashed into her mind
She prided herself on being a girl of
her word and she turned quickly.
How is Jimmy today?" she said
speaking out the first thing that came
into her head
There was good deal of detail in
Mrs. Anderson's answer. Jimmy had
been sick with measles, and then had
caught cold and been worse. Mrs An
derson poured out her story as if it
we're a relief to find listener, and,
as she talked on, that particular lis
tener found herself more interested
than she would have believed possible
in Jimmy and his mother. She said
that she had some old scrap-books
which Jimmy might enjoy looking
over, and Mrs. Anderson flushed and
thanked her with more gratitude than
the slight favor seemed to warrant.
At the next corner was Cissy Baily
and the girl wondered if her promise
covered the washerwoman's daughter
and people of that sort. But she did
not let herself wonder very long.
at was very kind of you to bring
home the clothes so early last week

Cissy Baily did not know what to
answer, She smiled in an embar-
raised way, and looked up and then
down. But the girl whom nobody
liked had seen something in the up
lifted eyes which warmed her heart,
and made that one-sided conversation
something to remember.
The day went by, and she did not
find opportunity to say anything very
brilliant. She stopped Mrs. White to
ask her if she would like to read the
book she had just finished; and she
patted little Barbara Smiths soft
cheek as she inquired if the new baby
sister had grown at all. When she
could think of nothing else, she said
Hasn't this been beautiful day.
And her earnestness rather surprised
some people who had not had her op'
Dortunities for realizing that there
| was anything unusual about the day.
By the time the week was over the
girl whom nobody liked had learned a
valuable lesson. She had found out
that hearts respond to cordiality and
kindness, just as the strings of one
musical instrument vibrate in unison
with the chord struck in another. II
was not a new discovery, since long
ago it was written in certain wise
book: "a man that hath friends must
show himself friendly" yet this is one
of the truths that each person must
| rediscover on his own account. And
| the girl who was learning to love
everyone, and was tasting the joy OF
being loved, thanked God that she had
not waited any longer before finding
out the wonderful secret for herself.

EARLY RISING.

A talented physician remarks that
Early rising is the stepping-stone to
all that is great and good. Both the
mind and the body are invigorated by
the practice, and much valuable time
is gained that is lost to the sluggard
1t is the basis upon which health and
wealth are founded. The early morn
ing is the best period for reflection
and study, for it is then, after re-
freshing sleep, that the mind is most
vigorous and calm. The statesman,
as well as the merchant, arranges his
plans for the coming day, and all
passes smoothly; while he who wastes
his morning in bed loses much of that
most valuable commodity of life
time-which is never regained Early
rising will often make the poor man
rich; the contrary will often beggar
the wealthiest. 1t will do much to-
wards making the weak strong; and
the reverse will enfeeble' the strong
est. Second sleep very generally pro-
duces headache and languor. There
is nothing more true than that He
who loses an hour in the morning is
seeking it the remainder of the day.
Our greatest men have been early
risers; for instance, Newton, Frank
lin, Wellington, Shakespeare, Milton,
Chantrey, Reynolds, Hume, Eldon and
Erskine"

AUNT ELIzABETH's SUGGESTION.

She was very sure that nobody liked
her. She had told herself so again
and again, with a queer Tightening
about her heart that was like real
pain. And then she had tossed her
head and set her lips in a defiant lit
tie smile. Nobody should know that
she cared. Never!
1t was on her eighteenth birthday
that Aunt Elizabeth made a suggestion
which caused the girl to open her
eyes, and then to laugh little. 1t
was such an odd idea, SO like Aunt
Elizabeth! "Then I'm to hold up
everybody I meet till I've said some
thing brilliant?" she observed
mot exactly" and Aunt Elizabeth
smiled, unruffled. But I've noticed
that you pass your acquaintance with
a mere nod or curt good-morning

of saying something pleasant to each
one, unless there is some good reason
against it."
1T will grow rather tiresome," said
the girl, and she shrugged her shout

Elizabeth; and, rather to her own sur.
prise, the girl found herself promising

SACRED NAME OF MOTHER.

Some of u.s." Father Matthew Rus
sell, S. j., says somewhere, would do
we'll to make in our hearts a very
fervent act of thanksgiving to God for
having given us really good mothers
mothers who loved us, not too well,
or at least not too weakly, but wisely;
mothers who showed their love by
firmness, by restraint, by denying us
partly to habits of ease and self in
diligence and training us to habits of
conscientiousness, punctuality, up
rightness, obedience, and sundry
other humdrum but solid virtues %
And again: May God bless and re-
ward all the millions of good women,
in all countries and in all classes,
who are at this moment exercising
the immense patience and self-denial
they must needs exercise in order to
deserve the sacred name of Mother!"

FACIAL DISTORTIONS.

Bad habits are more easily acquired
than broken. Watch your children,
try to teach them facial repose, and
more than half of the battle against
facial defects will be won.
But mothers and teachers must
first learn to control their own faces
before they can hope to teach the
young people to do likewise. Neglect
ing to wear glasses when the eyes
really require them is another prev.
alent cause of scowling in young
people, as we'll as their elders. If
your children frown them to an
oculist, you must first find know the
cause before you can correct it. II
the eyes are not defective, then it is
bad habit which cannot be broken
too soon.
Learn to talk and laugh without
making unnecessary wrinkles.
The eyes and mouth are capable oil
showing expression without distorting
the features, and the woman who
masters the art is on fair road to an
attractive old age.

CHOOSING HIS CROSS.

Once, according to an old Bavarian
legend, there was a man who COM
planned to his guardian angel that the
cross he was given to bear along life's
highway was beyond his strength.
II am we'll aware" he said, that
in this world of sorrow every man
must bear cross, and at that do not
murmur. But the special cross that
has been assigned to me is, without
doubt, utterly unsuited to my capa-
bilities: the shape, the weight, the bal
ance, all are wrong. Could but
choose my own cross, though per-
chance it might prove heavy one,
would carry it uncomplainingly, and
even cheerfully; but saddled as | am
with so unWieldy a burden, how can
be expected to persevere and wend my
painful way on to the journeys end?"
So hearing this his guardian angel
took the man to the place where all
the crosses destined for mankind
were stacked, waiting their bearers.
Choose" quoth the angel, ''and take
whichever cross thou willest in ex-
change for thine"
Thereupon the man quickly cast his
own cross aside and set to work to
find one more suited to his strength.
But it was no easy task, for one was
too heavy, one too long, this one too
rough and jagged to the touch, that
one was badly adjusted, the weight of
the cross beam too heavy for the
perpendicular beam, and therefore
impossible to balance on his shoulder.
In fact, after trying some hundreds
of the crosses and finding fresh diff
culties and pains connected with each
the man was fain to pray his angel
to assist him in the choice.
Just then, however, his eyes fell on
a cross lying a little apart from the
others, and he lifted it to his shoulder
for trial. 1t seemed to fit at once.
The weight was right, the size was
right. Although heavy, it was per-
fectly balanced, and although large,
he could adjust it to his stride. There
was no doubt about it; he knew i'm
mediately that it was the one of all
those crosses that was exactly suited
to his strength.
This is the cross for me-" he cried.
81 can bear this one without a MUIR
muir, for l feel it is made for me;
there is even a sort of buoyancy in
the substance of it that seems to bear
me up, and after all those others that
/ made trial of, this one seems almost
as a dear companion, so easily stride
oil 70 inhf
Even So" replied the angel, "for
is is thine own, the cross that thou
hast borne these many years, that was
fashioned specially for thee, and that
just now thou didst petulantly cast
aside. Take it now and bear it pa
tiently, for only in company with it
shalt thou reach the journeys end"
And the man looked again, and be-
hold it was even as the angel said.

And the good days endure.

Where living waters spring,
And in the country of Much Ease

SOMETHING EACH DAY.

Something each day-a smile,
1t is not too much to give,
And the little gifts of life
Make sweet the days we live.
The world has weary hearts
That we can bless and cheer,
And smile for every day
Makes sunshine all the year.
Something each day-a word,
We cannot know it's power;
1t grows in fruitfulness
AS grows the gentle shower.
What comfort it may bring
Where all is dark and drear!
For kind word every day ~,
Makes pleasant all the year.
Something each day-a thought,
Unselfish, good and true,
That aids another's needs,
While we our ways pursue;
That seeks to tighten hearts,
That leads to pathways clear;
For a helpful thought each day
Makes happy all the year.
Something each day-a deed
Of kindness and of good,
To link in closer bonds
All human brotherhood.
Oh, thus the heavenly will
For good deed every day,
We all may do while here,
Makes blessed all the year.

A PRIESTS ADVICE TO PRIESTS

First-Assist the Catholic paper
with your mental labor. Write down
the most important news items of
your parish and send them to your
paper as soon as possible.
Second-Preach often of the dan
ger of the goddess press; encourage
and praise the benefits of Catholic
literature. We all know that bad,
immoral books and papers are great
danger to our Catholic people and
thousands of souls have been lost by
the reading of infidel and immoral
literature.
Third-Keep only Catholic news
paperss on your desk and read them
carefully!
Fourth-At your pastoral visit take
a look at the books in your parish
toner's home and give your people ad-
vice and counsel, whenever it is need.
ed, without hesitation.
Fifth-Whenever you travel or visit
a friend, show your zeal for Catholic
books and papers by encouraging all
recent Catholic literature.
Sixth-Help the Catholic papers by
getting a great many advertisements
in their columns: (a) BY buying from
those firms that advertise in our pa,
per; (b) BY encouraging those mer.
chants to continue their advertise
ments whenever you send them q
check.
Seventh-Wherever you go spread
the apostolate of the Catholic press
All great men of our Holy Church
have been staunch friends of the
Modern Missionary.
Eighth-If your Catholic paper
makes a mistake. do not rebuke il
publicly, nor try to belittle its infu
