the hope and the support of our land;
there lie the safety and the promise of
our freedom
Henry Grady was not a Catholic.
but he recognized fundamental truth
"a truth as beautiful as fundamental
that a Christian home and Christian
influence are the only safeguards of
our republic, the bulwark of our free
institutions and of our civilization.
And the Christian home is the one
vhere father and mother teach their
children, by word and example, to love
and serve and fear God. But for us it
is something more: it is the home
where the holy law of God is taught
and kept; where due reverence is paid
His holy name; where the love of God
is taught, and where His abundant
mercies are proclaimed; where the
practice of virtue is made easy by the
daily sight of it's observance; where
every care is taken to shield the child
from wrong; where father and mother
kneel with the little ones and pray for
light, blessing and guidance and
mercy; where the law of God and the
precepts of Mother Church are sweet
and cheerfully borne yoke; where the
Sunday Mass finds all reverently as
sisting; where frequent communion is
a recognized duty and blessed privi-
lege; where the blessed name of the
Immaculate Mother of God is night
and morning invoked, and her inter
cession asked where children are
taught to avoid sin because it offends
so good God, who has loved men SO
much as to die for them. There is a
truly Catholic home, and there is being
laid surely and carefully the founda-
ton of spiritual edifice full of high
promise and noble proportion sure to
realize, under Gods gracious help, a
truly Catholic character. Such home
is truly the vestibule of heaven"
The entire pastoral is conceived
and written in this vein, breathing
apostolic zeal and high patriotism in
every line. 1t is a document to ponder
and praise and grow thankful for
Ace Maria.

pretty creature is found in other warm
countries.
When the first stuffed specimen
reached England some years ago, the
naturalists thought it was a clever
hoax, and when they found it was in
deed a real animal they were most
anxious to learn more about it. In
some encyclopedias you will read
that the platypus does not lay eggs.
This was disputed point for some
time, but recent works tell us posi-
lively that it does lay eggs; there is
now no doubt on that score. When
you consider that the paltypus resem-
bles a duck, an otter, a beaver, a
squirrel and puppy; besides having
any number of characteristics all it's
own, you do not wonder that the word
paradox is used in connection with it,
for could there be a more puzzling
bundle of contradictions found in all
the animal world?

THE HELPERS.

planted many seeds one day,
And then I had to go away
To make a visit; so I said,
ooh, who will tend my garden-bed?"
The Sun said, st will tend it,
My warmest rays I'll lend it,
And when you come back home at
last
You'll find your seeds are sprouting
fast"
The Cloud said: 'T will tend it,
My gentle showers I'll send it,
And when you have come home again,
You'll see how gardens love the rain"
NY gentle showers I'll send it,
By night and day defend it;
No single bug or worm you'll see,
If you will trust its care to me-"
When I came home, my garden-bed
Was just as safe as they had said.
And all my flowers were bright and
green,
The finest garden ever seen!

ONE DAY WITH A SPARROW
FAMILY.

A naturalist has made the following
observations as to the amount of work
performed by pair of sparrows in a
single day during the nesting season.
The mother bird left the nest at $50
a. NJ, to find worms, and the search
was continued by both parents
throughout the day, one hundred and
eighty journeys to and from the nest
having been made up to 1850 p. m.
Food was brought back nearly every
time, though some of the trips seem
to have been made to furnish sand or
grit for grinding the food. Soft-bodied
caterpillars were the most abundant
element of food, but crickets, flies, and
doubtless many other insects were
also taken.

THE IDEAL HOME.

A blend of patriotic interest with
religious instruction gives high value
to the following passage from a recent
pastoral by Bishop Kelley of Savannah.
How does it happen, one is inclined to
ask in an aside, that just this note
is so often and so happily struck by
our southern rather than by our north
ern churchmen? Perhaps because
patriotism In the South has not yet
become politics; perhaps because, the
North has moved fast and far from
certain ideals still cherished below
the line. At any rate, Catholics gen
orally, be they of North or South, will
appreciate the wholesomeness of the
Bishops advice; for it is based on
those unchanging principles of our re-
ligion which know no limit of time or
space in their application.
More than twenty years ago, y
writes Bishop Kelley, Il sat beside
Georgia's brilliant son, Henry Grady;
and in response to many requests that
he should say few words, he excused
himself on the plea of having just re-
turned from a tiresome journey; but,
after repeated demands, he said: I
was in Washington, D. c., a few days
ago; and, while walking down Penn
sylvania Avenue, l pointed to the CAPT
toll and said to friend, There is to
my mind the grandest and most sub
lime building in the world! I sup
pose that architects could find some
flaws in it's construction and plans,
and suppose that men who have trav-
eled would tell me of other buildings
in other lands which are more beauti-
full; but to me it makes sublime ap.
peal. Under that grand dome meet
the chosen representatives of seventy
five millions of the freest people I'M
der Gods sun, to make laws to protect
and extend that freedom; and thence
they stretch out a welcoming hand to
the millions, who in other lands groan
under oppressive laws or yet more op'
pressive conditions, inviting them to
come here and enjoy the blessings OF
life, liberty, and happiness under ou1
free institutions. There, it seems tc
me, is the 0uDOululSuL I'll our 11U6ICS
and our hope of our country.
I came back to my Georgia home;
and the next day l went to visit
my aged mother, and on the way
spent night with an old schoolmate
of mine. After supper we sat by the
freside, and talked of old times an6

and promptly on the stroke all be

"a Sermonette.)

One by one the moments fly,
Waited low or waited high.
If to good they have been given,
Borne by angel hands to Heaven
If of sin the evil sport,
Dragged by imps to Satan's court.
One by one the moments fly,
Each one leaving death more nigh.
One by one the moments fly,
White with truth or black with lie
With a smile stamped, or tear,
With curse or with prayer.
And when life's full chain is spun
We shall meet them one by one,
And upon the tale they'll tell
Hangs our sentence: Heaven-o
He'll.

0 heart of mine, this lesson learn,
Which kindly actions prove,
The sweetest joys on earth are linked
With sympathy and love.
The palace fair adorned with gems
From every mart and mine,
Is empty, cherries, cold and bare,
Where love has not shrine
A little posy from friend,
With kindly feelings given,
Is fragrance to the yearning soul,
A message sweet from heaven.
And all the blooms from flower land
With costly vases rare,
Without the touch of loving hearts,
Can ne'er with this compare.
A gentle word is music sweet,
A cordial to the mind,
And aching hearts need little more
Than tender words and kind,
But often harsh and cruel tones,
Without intent or plan,
Are deadly arrows given wings,
And wound a brother man.
Sometimes to those we love the best
The unkind word is given,
And by its bitter, piercing dart,
The heart is almost riven.
Not heaven itself can e'er recall
The message of that breath;
Unfailing to our very own
1t brings the sting of death.
Then speak, Oh, speak the gracious
word,
Extend a kindly hand,
Our fancied ills soon disappear,
When we but understand.
When kindness dwells within the
heart,
Then showers are turned to shine,
And sunlight beams on other lives
With radiant light divine.

THE DUcK5ILL.

If someone should tell you that he
had seen a fur-coated animal that laid
eggs, and that was possessed with a
bill similar to a ducks bill, had web
bed feet, broad, fat tail like a
beavers, do you think you could be-
lieve him? You would think he surely
was making fun of you, or was mis-
taken or had been dreaming, and yet
there is Just such an animal. The
name of the animal is the duckbill, or
platypus and seems to be the link be-
tween birds and animals.
In order to visit the duckbill's
home we shall have to take an imag-
mary trip to Australia, although this

Each seam fastened to hold and wear,
Work of a wrinkled, trembling hand,
But carefully fashioned, as first was

Of something better than social foam,

HOW YOU MAY THROW
AWAY YOUR GLASSES

The statement is made that thouS-
ands wear eyeglasses who do not real
ly need them. If you are one of these
unfortunates, then these glasses may
be running your eyes instead of help
ing them. Thousands who wear win
dows' may prove for themselves that
they can dispense with glasses if
they will get the following prescrip-
ton filled at once: Go to any active
drug store and get bottle of Optic
ma; fill two-ounce bottle with wa
ter and drop in one DIPLOMA tablet.
With this harmless liquid solution
battle the eyes two or four times
daily and you are likely to be aston
ished at the results right from the
start. Many who have been told that
they have astigmatism, eyestrain,
cataract, sore eyelids, weak eyes,
conjunctivitis and other eye disorders,
report wonderful benefits from the
use of this free prescription. Get this
prescription filled and use it; you
may so strengthen your eyes that
glasses will not be necessary. Thou
sands who are blind or nearly so, or
who wear glasses would never have
required them if they had cared for
their eyes in time. Save your eyes
before it is too late! Do not become
one of these victims of neglect. Eye
glasses are only like crutches and
every few years they must be chang
ed to fit the ever-increasing weaken
ed condition, SO better see if you can,
like many others, get clear, healthy,
strong magnetic eyes through the
prescription here given.

73O PUPILS ENROLL
FOR LAST SEMESTER
High School Starts Off New
School Term with Larg-
--as est Attendance.
FILLS OTHER SCHOOLS
Total Enrolment in City Ex-
pected to Be More
Than $500.

With an enrolment of approximate
" 73S students, the Richmond high
school today started the last semester
of the present school year. No time
was lost in getting under way this
year owing to the new ruling institute
ed by Superintendent Giles to the eff
feet that final examinations are not
held. The last week OF the term Tor
merly was given over to examinations.
With the doing away of tests, school
continued until Friday morning at
which time grade cards were distrlb-
Ited and work for the last term was
scheduled. In the afternoon there was
no session as the faculty held meet
ing to go over conflicts in courses pre-
scnted by the pupils and to discuss the
changes in the courses.
Several new classes have been form
ed. Household chemistry will be Off
cred in addition to other branches in
this subject. The subject will be taught
in addition to the cooking and domes-
tic science classes. Higher algebra is
another new class formed.
80 In Printing Glasses.
Instead of printing classes meeting
for double period three times each
week, classes will be held every pc
Rod of every day. There are thirty
two boys who have signed up for this
work for the coming term while only
five took this study last semester. AS
the printing plant only accommodates
eight at one time the four double peri
DDS each day will be used Should any
more decide to take up this work 9th
err arrangements will be made by Prin
cipal Pickell. Under the direction OF
Professor Sloane about 235 students
will sing in the school chorus.
Eighty pupils finished work at the
Junior high school this month and
went on the Senior school to complete
their studies. Credit for work done ir
Garfield is given the students toward
graduation in the high school. With
this class entering the high school the
total number swells to about 73S The
entire enrolment in the city schools
exceed the $500 mark.
Probably the largest undertaking

the seniors of the high school will
have on hands will be the publishing
of the school annual which usually
takes the greater part of the school
term to complete. Editors and others
connected with this work have not
been appointed, as yet
At the close of the term the senior
play will be presented and this will
take much of the students time who
participate in it's production. Principal
Pickell desires to have the play pre-
scented twice.
The senior chapel exercises will be
given soon. Once each year the seniors
are given permission to take charge
of the weekly exercises. A play is usu-
ally given by several students from the
class and the program is conducted
from the stage.
An orchestra composed entirely OF
seniors furnish the music. The com
mittee in charge of the affair this term
is composed of Helen kenworthy
Mary Candy, Lawrence Jessup and
Rudolph Price.
