MUST FIT THE JOB.

Every young man going out into
the world to seek employment must
remember, that one of the most i'm
portant things he must learn is to
make himself fit his job, says the In
dustrial Enterprise.
There is nothing in the world re-
quiring energy and patience that
really agrees with one at first.
School days are pleasant only when
they are a memory. If the noun.
tain will not come to you you must
go to the mountain. The business
mountain, the job, the atmosphere OF
the office will never rush to meet
the beginner. 1t is up to the be
ginner to meet the mountain. And
he will have to do it quick or some
one else will step in and take his
place. If you are willing to learn
willing to adapt yourself, then size
up your job, the atmosphere of the
place, and try to make yourself al
home as soon as possible. Try to
fit in, to become part of your sur
roundings. If you can not do that
if you find that you will never fit in
where you are, then be fair to your
employer and still more to yourself

Won't you try, my dear altar boys,
to feel that you have been chosen by
God to do Him this great service?
Realize that IL you neglect it, 1t won't
be done, and that there will be much
glory and honor denied our dear
Lord. Be proud of your privilege of
serving at the altar. Remember that
many long in vain for the joy that
may be yours daily if you SO wish.
Serve Mass as often as you can, not
only in your early years, but as long
as there is room for you in the sane
tuary. Serve the kind priest, that
"other Christ" who is serving you so
well. While there is yet time, store
up those precious moments that are
so full Of benediction. And in the
long, gray twilight of life's evening,
your soul will find peace and comfort
in the sweet memories of those by
gone days when you left your warm
bed at an early hour, or left your
companions or your games, to kneel at
your pastors side and add your word
of welcome to the King of heaven
and earth. IA

NO ONE TO SERVE MASS.

1t happened few Sundays ago that
the present writer found himself in
little town in Eastern Nova Scotia.
The Catholic Church there was a
large one, and the bell in the steeple
was sending forth peal of welcome
to us to enter the House of God. Dur
ing the quarter hour still remaining
before the Mass the faithful con-
tinued to pour into the building until
the church was filled. Then came the
Sisters from the nearby convent and
filed into the front pew. All seemed
in readiness now; the hour for the
Great Sacrifice was at hand. Expect
ancy could be read on every face, as
thousand eager eyes waited the ap-
pearance of Christ's ambassador. Still
the minutes slipped by. All wondered
at the unusual delay, and some rest
lessness had already begun to show
itself in more than one countenance,
when the priest, vested but for the
chasuble, stepped from the sacristy to
the side of the pulpit, and out of the
stiffness asked in clear but painful
accents: "Is there any boy in the
congregation charitable enough to
come and serve my Mass?" A second
or two elapsed, and then two half
grown boys hurriedly left their seats
and entered the sacristy.
Why had they kept their pastor
waiting so long? It was indeed a
sad spectacle But in so large par
ish, were there only two altar boys?
Surely not. There were at least a
dozen boys who could serve Mass.
Where then were they all at the hour
when they should be at their post?
What reasons had they to offer for
their absence? Listen: i thought
Henry would be there" I attended
the early Mass" my surplice was
not Clean" etc., etc.
l wonder whether boys really know
what it means to be chosen as AGO.
lytes. Do they realize how many there
are who long to kneel at the altar
to serve Mass, to be so close to the
throne when the King OF Kings comes
in His yelled glory, yet who will never
have that joy, that honor?
l never had the happiness of serv-
ing Mass. I longed for it in my child
hood. l long for it still. Perhaps
some day I may kneel close to a
priest at the altar and whisper the
words of the response, light the tapers
round Gods prison-house, and an
nounce His coming by the silver tin
kle Of the bell.
Parents should see to it that their
boys are always ready to assist at the
feet of their Divine Master. How i'm
pressive it is to see altar boys enter
ing the sanctuary in procession, two
and two, as l have seen many times
in other places. First came the lit.
tie ones, the smallest of the flock, with
their hands joined piously on their
breasts, then behind them the larger
boys, and last of all the two young
men who serve the priest.

YOU WILL BE GLAD.

When the years have slipped by and
memory runs back over the path you
have trod, you will be glad that you
stopped to speak to every friend you
met, and left them all with a warmer
feeling in their hearts because you
did so.
You will be glad that you we're
happy when doing the small, everyday
things of life; that you served the
best you could in life's lowly round.
You will be glad that men have said
all along your way: II know that l
can trust him. He is as true as steel"
You will be glad that there have been
some rainy days in your life. If there
were no storms, the fountains would
dry up; the sky would be filed with
poisonous vapors, and life would
cease.
You will be glad you stopped
long enough every day to read care
fully, and with a prayer in your heart,
some part of Gods message to those
He loves. You will be glad that you
shut your ears tight against the evils
men said about one another, and tried
the best you could to stay the words
winged with poison. You will be glad
you brought smiles to men, and not
sorrow. You will be glad that you
have met with a hearty handshake all
the hard things which have come to
you, never lodging out of them, but

GENERAL DIRECTIONS FOR CAN
MING AND PRESERVING FRUITS.

Pectin, carbohydrate, occurs in
small quantities in fruit Tin core,
seeds, skim. This is what causes
fruit to gelatinize. AS fruit ripens, it
has the maximum amount of pectin.
Over-ripe fruit loses pectin.
Select fresh, firm and not over-ripe
fruit. Prepare fruit according to kind !;
remove stems, pare, peel, stone or
core.
For Canning Fruit.-Allow one-third
as much sugar as fruit, and three cups
of water to each pound of sugar. Boil
water and sugar five minutes to make
thin syrup, then cook a small guam
tity of fruit at time in the syrup un-
til soft.

Use knife blade to push fruit away
from jars to allow air bubbles to rise
to surface and break. Fill jars to
over-fowing. If there is not sufficient
syrup, use boiling water. Place rub.

and screw on alright. Turn jars up

than in this age, when so many nomi
nal Catholics are rebelling against the
this destruction of home reverence is
noticeable in every class and in every
sect is evident from the number OF
what one might call 'home-remind-
ers," which we now see in most book
stores. Calendars, framed pictures
and dainty porcelains all bear little
texts which serve to guard us against
the neglect of that most precious of
human institutions, the home. Our
religious and secular press are of one
opinion in the matter, and "Stay at
Home and Rest; Home Keeping
Hearts are Happiest," is the theme
of many of their shorter essays.
From Golfers Weekly we clip the
following because we think it well
worth while reproducing: Moreover,
we have little doubt suitably
framed and often glanced att might
well quicken new graces in careless
hearts.
This home is dedicated to good
will. 1t grew out of love. The two
heads of the household were called
together by power higher than they.
To it's decree they are obedient. Every
tone of the voice, every thought of
their being is subdued to that in serv-
ice. They desire to be worthy of
their high calling as ministers of that
grace. They know their peace will go
unbroken only for little time. And
often they suspect that the time will
be more short even than their anxious
hope. They cannot permit so much
as one hour of that brief unity to be
touched by scorn or malice. The
worlds judgments have lost their
sting inside this door. Those who
come seeking to continue the har-
mony which these two have won are
ever welcome. The rich are welcome,
so they come simply. The poor are
welcome, for they have already
learned friendliness through buffeting.
Youth is welcome for it brings the
joy which these two would learn. Age
is welcome, for it will teach them
tenderness"

LESSON LxVII.
FOOD PRESERVATION.

To preserve means to save from de-
cay by the use of some preservative
agent
Certain bacteria cause the decay of
foods.
Food is preserved when it is sub
jected to such treatment as will kill
the germs, or check their growth and
make them inactive. AS we know that
moderate heat, food and moisture are
favorable conditions for their growth
that is, to keep food cool, dry it, or
cook it.
The Methods Used Are
Cold Storage: Freezing checks the
growth of bacteria as long as they are
in a freezing condition. Meat and
fish may be kept indefinitely while
frozen They should not be allowed
to thaw out until shortly before using
as they are more susceptible to action
of bacteria and spoil more quickly
than similar foods, which have not
been frozen. Eggs and fruit may be
kept several months by cold storage
in dry air just above the freezing
point Vegetables are kept in cold
storage. Milk is sent frozen in large
quantities.
Drying.-Bacteria require moisture
so food is dried in order to prevent
their growth. Dried fruits contain
more water than dried meat or fish
but this small amount remains safe by
the antiseptic properties of the acids
in the fruit, and are also preserved by
the natural sugar in the fruits.
Salting.-Salting has a tendency tt
absorb moisture from the bacteria, sc
they cannot thrive in food that Is
corned or sailed. Salt does not xii
bacteria, but prevents their growth.
Preserving With Sugar.-Sugar, like
salt. has a tendency to draw moisture
from the bacteria, therefore they can
not grow in a thick syrup, thougf
molds may grow on top.
Smoking.-Meats and fish are usual
" salted, then smoked. (The products
of combustion or burning are antlsep
tic.) These antiseptics or germ killers
do not penetrate flesh but remain OF
the outside, so disease germs on th'
side are not killed. 1t is therefore un

THE CHILDREN'S HOUR.
THE LORD Is RISEN.

All hail! dear Conqueror, all hail!
Oh what a victory is Thine!
How beautiful Thy strength appears !!
Thy crimson wounds, how bright
they shine!
Thou earnest at the dawn of day,
Armies of souls around Thee were
Blest spirits thronging to adore
Thy flesh so marvellous, so fair.
Ye Heavens, how sang they in your
courts,
How sang the angelic choirs that
day,
When from His tomb the imprisoned
God,
Like the strong sunrise, broke
away.

o BLESSED sRRINGTIME OF THE
YEAR!

Oh, blessed springtime Of the year!
God grant that thou mayst raise our
eyes
Above the common greed of earth
To quiet stars and moonlit skies;
Into our souls that thou mayst bring
A deeper and DREAMER glow,
Some memries sweet of far-off days
To lift this sordid gloom below.
That thou mayst bring to toil-dinned
ears
The ripping songs of far-off
streams.
And to the chilling veins the flame
That frightened all our childhood S
dreams.
Poor wanderers, We have followed
fast
The sordid crowd, the glittering
throng-
God grant that thou mayst lead us
home,
To where men live, the wise, the
strong.
Oh, blessed springtime of the year,
To sacred aisles lead thou the way
Where mercy waits with plying love
For children who have gone astray.
Poor restless lives all tangled up
With vain ambition, restless fear
God grant that thou mayst bring us
peace,
Oh, blessed springtime of the year!

AVILA.

Avila, the home of st. Theresa,
where the third centenary of her beat
ification is celebrated this month, is
one of those little cities of central and
northern Spain, which appear to the
visitor from the outer world to be
survivals of a past age. Entirely en-
closed within it's great walls, which
date from the eleventh century, Avila
rises, severe and solid, out of the
sweeping upland country of Castle.
Time seems to have stood still here.
If we go a short distance outside the
town and look at it's unbroken line of
walls and towers and watch the Cas-
from it's massive gateways to their
homes, which lie somewhere in the
distance across the treeless plain, the
Spain Of Cervantes seems very near
to us. Still, the tide of progress is
flowing even here, for there is a rail
way to Avila; it passes, however, at a
discreet distance outside the walls,
and the interior of the town shows as
yet small traces of any undermining
influence. The Romanesque architec-
ture of the churches is very beautiful.
The Cathedral, with it's fine west
front of a Gothic which recalls the
Cathedrals of northern France, and
it's apse which forms part of the
town walls, looks from the outside
more like part of castle than of a
church. The market place is attrac-
tive for it's groups of peasants; but
the general effect of the place, and
the impression it gives of an immense,
if rather grim, strength and indie
structibility is the most interesting
thing about it.

en-. We should, therefore, be more
polite, more thoughtful, more enter
tanning and more helpful at home thar
anywhere else. Thus, when we &C
out into the world we need not put or
show of good manners, for these
will have become a part and parcel
of ourselves.
Good manners will become natural
if they are habitually practiced in the
family circle. The children's behavior
towards their parents must ever be
marked by love and respect. They
must love their parents because, after
God, they are their greatest benefac-
tors. They owe respect and obedi.
ence to their parents, who hold the
place of God and have their authority
from Him.
A child that loves its parents will
seek every opportunity to render them
some little service; will grieve when
it cannot add to their happiness; will
never be carried away by anger; will
never permit a harsh or offensive
word to cross it's lips in their pres
ence; and will assist them, in health
and sickness, with every kind atten-
ton that love will suggest.
A polite child will always speak to
its parents in a respectful tone OF
voice, will gladly accept their advice
and follow it, and especially will never
contradict them. An obedient child
will never show dissatisfaction, by
pouting and grumbling, when parents
refuse permission or forbid anything
that would be to it's liking.
The father is the head of the fam
lily. It is he who labors for the sup
port and education of his children, and
therefore the gratitude which they
owe him will teach them to act with
kindness and respect.
Polite and grateful children will al
ways salute their father when meet
ing; will never forget to say Father
when addressing him; will quickly
and cheerfully obey not only his posi-
tive commands, but his very wishes !;
and in general will be solicitous for
his comfort.
The mother shares the government
of the family with the father, and
with him works for the welfare of the
children. The same motives should
therefore prompt children to show
every mark of love, respect and obedi-
ence to their mother.
A polite son will act towards his
mother with more civility and gentle
ness than he would towards any 9TH
er person. He will remove his hat
when he is in the same room with her
or when meeting her in public. A po-
lite child will open the door and allow
her to pass through first; will pick up
any article she may have dropped;
will give her the best side of the walk
and will help her in or out of a car
or carriage; will accompany her to
the store or the market; will carry a
parcel for her, and will wait upon her
anywhere.
Old age always commands defer
ence and respect, but more especially
in the person of a grandparent. A
polite and courteous child will sur
round it's grandparents with delicate
attentions; will respect their tastes
and ways of doing; will remove moth
ing belonging to them without asking
their permission; will furnish what
they ask for, and will listen to their
advice with respectful attention. II
would be very rude to- laugh at their
shortcomings, or to hurt their feel

Fair Play for Mr.. Bryan.

The retirement OF John Bassett Moore
from the State Department is giving rise
10 some comment very unfair to Mr.
Bryan. For example. the New York

and accurate IN its citations, says Of the
present condition of things diplomatic:
THE whole service. from its uncertain
chief, pattering platitudes and coddling

lomacy like John Bassett Moore 1t is
the chagrin of the entire country"
There is not in any diplomatic post Of

are Wilson men. selected by him. and
recommended to his favor by services
they had rendered him in the campa!g
of 1912. There would be Wilson man
at Paris except that the man to whom 1t
was offered declined. Mr.. McCombs has
never done anything for Mr.. Bryan. but
has done a great deal for Mr.. Wilson.

matte service may be counted on the
fingers of one hand, and all are in minor

The Gallinger Hospital.

The paragraph i'll the District appro-
priation bill. now pending in the Senate.
carrying the sum of 100000 for a new
municipal hospital contains threefold
reason for the qualification which WASH
inGtonians feel. In the first place 1t
means the abandonment of the present
Washington Asylum hospital, plant for
the treatment of poor persons which has
long been known as inadequate and which
often has been condemned as disgrace
full. In the second place, it means the
substitution for this of modern hospital
on good site with a power house, a do
nestle service building and all needful
attachments, The third reason for graft
iication though not the least, is that this
shall be called the "Gallinger Hospital"
This is a deserved tribute to the sena-
tor from New Hampshire. who for SO
long has been and continues to be one of
the influential members Of that august
body. 1t is a partial recognition of the
interest in capital affairs which Senator
Gallinger has manifested ever since he
came to Washington. 1t is appropriate
that the senator's name should be given
to such a worthy and useful institution
as municipal hospital This fact Is no
doubt pleasing to Senator Gallinger, be-
cause his deepest interest has always
been in objects of public usefulness.
