ST. THOMAS COLLEGE

The College of st. Thomas, st.
Paul, Mimi, has the distinction of
being the only Catholic Military Col
lege in the United States. With a
view to combining all that is best
in Catholic colleges with all that is
best in military schools, the college
authoritiese introduced nine years
ago, the distinctive features of
schools organized on the West Point
plan. The results have abundantly
justified the wisdom of the innova-
ton. The moral and religious train
ing is in the hands Of priests who are
set apart for the work and devote
their entire time and attention to it.
The military training, covering not
only the systematic physical devel-
opment of the students, but also the
cultivation of habits of promptneses,
obedience to orders, neatness and
good manners, is in the hands of
an officer of the United States army
detailed by the Secretary of War for
work exclusively in the College. AS
the military system is based on hon
or and demands high sense of hon
or, it is admirably adapted to de-
velop an exceptionally fine type of
character.
The new armory which is now in
course of construction and will be
ready for occupancy in September,
emphasizes the remarkable growth
of the College. Fourteen years ago
single building constituted the col
lege; today six modern commodious
buildinge erected at cost of nearly
four hundred thousand dollars, af-
ford ample accommodations for
the students who throng to the col
lege from upwards of eighteen
states. With the erection of each
building came an increase in attend
ance. Last year six hundred and
seventy-six students were registered.
The training of this splendid body
Of students was committed to the
charge of thirty-two professors,
priests and laymen, chosen under
Archbishop Ireland's direction for
the great work of the college which
he founded and fostered.
The college has four departments.
The college proper offers four
years course leading to the bache-
lor's degree of arts, science and phil
osophy. The academic department
presents all the studies of a we'll
equipped high school. In the depart
ment of Commerce training is CIV
en- in the various branches of bust
ness, special attention being paid to
thoroughness and accuracy. s, The
Students of this department have each
year the advantage of a series of
lectures given by the most success
full men in the professional and bust
ness world of st. Paul and Mime
apolis. The Preparatory Depart
ment is organized to meet the needs
of young boys and of those who
through some defect in their previ-
Gus training are not qualified to en-
ter on Academic or Commercial
studies.
st. Thomas owes it's marvellous
success to the splendid discipline
which it maintains, to the care with
which it selects it's students, to the
amount of individual attention which
it devotes to students who need
special help, and to the reasonable
rates which bring within the reach
of steadily increasing number of
young men and boys the advantages
of an education not surpassed by
that given in the most expensive
schools of the country.

TANGO A WORD MIsUsED.

Mrs Charles H.. Israels, who has done good service in opposing immor- al dancing, points out in the Times this morning that the discussion or the value of theanew dances is complicat- ed by the misuse of the word tango That, she rightly says, is a beautiful dance, suggesting the minuet, and It ought not to be confused with othera of the modern dances. Very few pe"- pei have mastered the tango. outside of the professionals, whereas multi thdes are dancing the one-Step, to whose original form there was such valid objection. Mrs. Israels adds that many of the, new dances have been ugly. sdisgracefu1 and unaesthet1c, but we are now in a period of stransi- ton to more beautiful dancing. This is plain. There has been a vast change for the better in the last cou- pie of years, and those who offend against good taste to-day usually do so because of ignorance. Mrs. Israels' committee on amusement resources of working girls realizes this, for it IS sending trained dancers to the enter tainments it supervisesa to teach cor-' rect methods. At any rate, the cler- gy ought to be grateful to the new dances, for it Tgives them 8 new sub ject to talk about. For instance, Rab- bi Wise bemoans the decadence of our society as illustrated by these dances. If, as seems probable, they have come to stay, the effort should be to make them entirely unobjec- tionab1e.-New York Evening Post.

INCREASED NEGOTIATIONS
 OF FOOD PRODUCTS
 DURING NOVEMBER, 1913.

Food irrlportations in November showed a marked increase over the corresponding month of the preceding year and material increase over the figures for October. This is espec- ia.11y apparent in fresh beef and beef cattle. Inaportations Of fresh beef which amounted to 2-3 n1ilhon lbs. in October were practically double the quantity in November, the figures for November being 10,856, ,51 6 pounds, valued at $9Oo,2S6- Of pork the inrportations during November were no thousand pounds and of mutton, 32 thousand pounds. More than one-haf of the beef imports came direct from England, 31 mil Hon pounds having heen received at New York and 1-4 million pounds at Boston, while Canada sent 2-3
 million pounds to Chicago, a half 1ndIlton bounds to New York and a quarter Of a nlilHon pounds to Bos- ton. At the Pacific coast ports the imports were 58O thousand pounds. chiefly from Australia
 As to the origin of the practically 6 million pounds of fresh beef import ed from England, the records sup piled to the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce make no specific statement, though the fact that there
 
 beef direct from Argentina suggests that at least a, portion of the beef coming from England may have or igfnated in Argentina, which country is now England's chief source of sup ply of foreign-grown beef.
 Cattle importations in November also show a. very large inerease over those of the corresponding month of 1912, having been 123,118 head, val ued at $3,306,72 against 43,758 head, valued at $829. .35s, in Noven- Der, 1912. Tine total lumber of cattle imported in October and No vember, under the operations of the new tariff law, was 253 ,757 head, vaa- ued at $6,7o4.790. The value of cat tie imports in October and November was greater than that of all the ear Her months of the year, while the quantity of beef imp orted was also much in excess of that of the earlier months of the year. The value of cattle imports for the full calendar year will approximate 15 million dol lars, while the exports of cattle will amount to less tf1ans1 million dollars value, against 3 1-2 million dollars in 1912, IA million dollars in 1911, A million in 1908. and Al mflaion in 1905.
 The inportations of wheat during the month of November were 127 thousand bushels against thousand bushels. in November, 1912, and of flour, 1O,824 barrels, against 6, ,190 barrels in the same month of 1912. Importations of oats in November were 5,132, sos bushels, against 4,- 266 bushels in Novefber of the pre- ceding year. The importations of potatoes during November were .764, : S63 bushels, against 10,66S bushels in November, 1912.

BEAUTY CHATS
SERENITY AND THE WOMAN
By BIanclne Beacon.


 There is a beauty secret not found in cosmetics and which does not abide in the perfumed parlors of beauty doctors. It is a secret which any wo- man may possess and its magic effect felt both by its possessor and her friends.
 This secret is merely the serenity which comes from relaxation and re- pose.
 The serene woman always appears No advantage.
 7 There is a culture in a, serenity of manner which makes the woman who possesses it seem to have generations of breeding behind her. The poise in itself is a personal beauty. There Is a suggestion of reserve, inte1lectual strength more impressive than the l1neasiness of a nervous hdgity wonn- 4n who feels that her tongue or her body must be in motion to let the world know she Is in it.
 Horace Fletcher says, in substance: Anger is rank poison.
 Women do not realize that a nerv- GUS fury Is real death to tissues. It is the breaking of a globule of fluid poison which Is in fae end fataLIfAt the same time the wear and tear from a nervous temperament will leave the f1gdre which no creams or lotions can
 
 Try to grow old gracefully and beautifully and learn to take things easily.
 Serenity Is more beautiful than rouge and relaxation more body building than massage.
 We see something of the effects of over-ernotfona1 natures upon the faces of actors or actresses who, past their drSk-yoIrbfs=- have eefelt" their parts too strongly, without proper preventa- lives or cures Especially is this true in the cases Of actors, who lack the vanity which prompts their fernd- nine co-workers to cease1ess work hpon their skins. sszsf 5ssks ] And we have always noticed the scanned and lined face of the man or woman who indulges the senses with drink or artificial stimulants.

 'eI will not reason why I love. Or what love in thee! There breathes some secret from

 In every flower we see, Suddenly as we pass, we own
 Some glimpse of scent divine Such secret. to none others known N
 My heart has read in thine!
 sssA great poet once wrote: ITO love and not be loved is time lost. It is a Fstrenge but true fact that men and women with untried hearts have alto gether different views upon the mysti- cal subject of love. A man knows that even though he may be greatly attracted toward young woman II she does not appear ro take a like in terest in him it is one-sided liking. If his most earnest endeavors fall to touch a responsive chord in her heart, he is usually sensible enough to un- derstamd that his hopes may never be realized. He either croses the book of love entirely or turns over new leaf to learn what may be written there for him. Not one man in ten thou sand gives himself up to broken love dream They doAnot abandon the thought of finding one sweet woman'6 love: of having a home of their own He is xeonscious of the fact that, to get on in the world 8 man must settle down and take unto himself the re- responsibilities of a home. He seldom falls in love the second time with the same kind of a girl
 If the woman who first aroused his admiration was fair of face, and was courted everywhere Tor her beauty. he is pretty apt to choose the second time a woman plain almost to homeli- ness one who would not attract second masculine giance in a crowd. He makes quite as good a husband as if she had been
 His First and Only Love
 When a woman is attracted to a man. she puts an extravagant value upon his every act and word. Even his glance conveys to- her 8 subtle message created by her own thoughts only.
