Obstinacy Not MOtiyated.

The father of Lyman Abbott recog-
nized that such obstinacy cannot be
altogether a matter of deliberate con-
trariness, and he compared these hts
with what is sometimes observed in
lower animals, as the horse. In the
case of the horse, he says, I'VE cannot
suppose that peculiar combination OF
intelligence and ill-temper which we
generally consider the sustaining
power of the protractcd obstinacy on
the part of child.
"The degree of persistence which is
manifested by children in contests OF
this kind is wonderful, and cannot be
explained easily by any of the ordinary
theories as to the influence of mo-
tives on the human mind. A state
of cerebral excitement and exaltation
is not infrequently produced which
seems akin to insanity, and instances
have been known in which child has
suffered itself to be beaten to death
rather than yield obedience to a very
simple command"

defeat for the authority Of the elders,
or in an equally disastrous, because
brutal and unreasohing, victory Of the
adult strength. But all students OF
child nature are agreed that the oe-
casion TO" ouch clashes should be stu
diously avofded-by the parents, of
course, since tho children do not know
what is happening and the parents
should know.
In nearly every case Of the kind
mentioned, the persistence of the
child in his refusal to do what is
asked of him is due not to the moral
perversity or to the motive that we
call obstiRacy, but TO a certain mental
difficulty, a certain obstacle in the
child's mind which he cannot himself
overcome.
In the case of Tommy it was unwise
for the mother to struggle for an hour,
because the child was obviously not
in need of elementary lessons IN po-
likeness: He knew enough to say
Thank you" oil all suitable occasions
he had, in fact, already acquired the.
habit of doing SO. His failure to say
the desired words in the instance cited
was due entirely to combination OF
feelings aroused by the personality OF
the nurse. The struggle was really
not to make the child polite, or even
to make him obedient; it was essen
TALLY an attempt to make him like
someone that was from the first re-
pugnant to him.

no commonwealth were able to con-
tinue and endure one year, should get
so hard and poor living, and live so
wretched and miserable a life, that the
state and condition of the laboring
beasts seem much better and health
Ter. And yet besides this the
rich men not only by private fraud but
also by common laws do every day
pluck and snatch away from the poor
some part of their daily living. :.
They invent and devise all means and
manner of crafts, first how to keep
safely without fear of losing that they
have unjustly gathered together, and
next how to hire and abuse the work
and labor of the poor for as little
money as may be. These devices,
when the rich men have decreed to be
kept and observed under color of the
commonalty, that is to say, also of the
poor people, then they be made laws.
:. Therefore, when / consider
and weigh in my mind all these COM
which nowadays anywhere
do flourish, so God help me, can per-
ceive nothing but certain conspiracy
of rich men procuring their own COM
modities under the name and the title

More was not only ready to think lib
orally and to express himself fearless
ly, but he was ready to die for his
opinions, and did so calmly and with a
smile on his lips. He is usually thought
of as modern. He represents, how
ever, the very elimination of medic
valism touched by the spirit of the
Renaissance, but as yet unspoiled by
what has been with such egregious eff
frontery called the reformation. He
had the beautiful Christian spirit of
the olden time. He was the only Lord
Chancellor that cleared the docket OF
the Court of Chancery in England.
Lord Chancellors after him down to
and including Lord Bacon for a full
century were almost without excep-
ton a disgrace to the woolsack and
to English law. His utopia" is full
of youthful vision of how the wrongs
of men may be r1ghted by CnrlsLlan
charity and love of ones fellows. 1t
is perhaps visionary republic that he
has pictured so fully, but no one has
ever sketched a more alphabetically
human plan of mems lives nor a COM
monwealth by which the great pro-
portion of mankind might find happi-
ness. When one reads More's
utopia" alongside of the sketches of
supposedly ideal modern states, they
are trivial compared to it. Plato, Au-
gustine and More represent a trinity
of thinkers on human social problems
that show us how old the new and
new the old and how, whenever men
faced problems if they are large
enough to face them properly, they
are always faced in about the same
way.

HALF A POINT OFF.

A gentleman crossing the English
Channel stood near the helmsman 1t
was a calm and pleasant evening, and
no one dreamed of a possible danger
to their good ship, but a sudden flap
ping of sail, as if the wind had
shifted, caught the ear of the officer
on watch, and he sprang at once to
the wheel, examining closely the COM
pass.
you are a half point off the
course!" he said sharply to the man
at the wheel. The deviation was cor
rected and the officer returned to his
post.

point is so much thought Of
"Ah! half a point in many places
might bring us directly on the rocks, .
he said.
So it is in life. Half point from
strict truthfulness strands us upon the
rocks of falsehood. Half a point from
perfect honesty, and we are steering
for the rocks of crime. And SO OF
kindred vices. The beginnings are al.
ways small.

A MUSICAL TRAGEDY.

Four music Sharps lived in Flat,
Though on modest Scale;
They had no Staff of servants that
Might serve to Brace this tale.
To Stave off Scores of creditors
They gave Notes by the Choir;
A Measure that was, for Space,
In Line with their desire.
Now Major Clef a Minor claim
Submitted, and declined
All overtures not in a-Chord
With what was in his mind.
Said he: "This Time I must have
Cash!
1 Register this vow:
You shall pay Tenor more today;
Yes, you shall Duet now!"
"We cannot Baritone like that
IT'S Bass!" the Quartet cried;
And with our bank account Solo
Alto the debit side!
We'd Trio gladly if we could,
Soprano more insist"
Then with an Accent from their hands
They closed the tragic tryst.

OUR oLD-FAsHIoNED MOTHERS.

in childhood and smoothed our pillow
in sickness, even reaching out to us
in yearning tenderness in Affections

er love.
Blessed is the memory of an old
fashioned mother; it floats to us now
like the beautiful perfume of some
woodland blossoms. The music OF
other voices may be lost, but the en-
trancing memory of hers will echo in
our souls forever. Other faces will
fade away and be forgotten, but hers
will shine on until the light Of heav-
ems portal shall glorify our own. When
in the fitful pauses of busy life our
feet wander back to the old home
stead and cross the well-known TIRES

quaint room, as hallowed by her pres

MEDIEVAL JUSTICE TO THE
WORKINGMAN.

Probably no impression is common
er at the present time, says James J.
Walsh, M. D., of New York, than that
by a process of evolution and human
development we have reached num-
Der of practical conclusions as to life
and living that never occurred to men
before. Above all we are supposed to
have advanced far beyond the past in
social ideas, and great many people
seem to think that this is the first time
that any serious regard was paid to
the working classes and that up to
this they have been simply the pack
horses of humanity for whom no bur-
den was too heavy, only such as
would cripple their power to work
and lessen their usefulness. 1t was
not out of regard for them but out
of regard for their utility to their
masters that anything was done to
tighten their condition in the past
There might be sort of philanthropic
feeling of humanitarianism on the part
of the upper classes, somewhat the
same as men have now, by correspond
ing evolution, developed for the ami
mails, but there was no feeling of real
brotherhood, and above all, no effort
to improve their condition because as
men they had a right to life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness, to de-
cent living wage and to the means of
living under such conditions as made
it possible for them to be quite salts
fed with existence and to bring up
their children in good health and with
opportunities to rise.
Nothing could we'll be more false
than any such impression. There have
been many times in the history of hui
mainly when a true spirit of charity
and brotherliness was widely diffused
through mankind and when as a con-
sequence there was a great deal of
happiness in the world. The medieval
period is usually thought of as least
likely to present any such incidents,
and yet it is exactly there that social
justice will be found most Characters
tically exhibited. Ordinarily the word
medieval is applied, by those who know
no better, to anything that represents

No one comes near us or across us
but it is through an intention of God,
that we may help, soothe, or cheer
him.
To the man who gives himself up
to the guidance of the Holy Spirit,
there seems to be no world; to the
worldly man there seems to be no God.
Nothing that touches the soul but
leavesiits impress; and thus, little by
little, we are fashioned into the image
of all we have seen and heard, known
and meditated. And if we learn to live
with all that is fairest and purest and
best, the love of it all will, in the end,

USES FOR STALE BREAD.
Dry Toast
Cut stale bread into slices. Crust
may or may not be taken off. Put
slices in toaster and place over the
fire to dry, holding some distance from
the Goals; turn and dry on the other
side. Hold nearer and color golden
brown. Toast, if piled compactly and
allowed to stand soon becomes moist.
Toast may be buttered at table, or be-
fore sending to table. Toasted bread
is considered to be more easily digest
ed than fresh bread, because in toast
ing, some of the starch is changed into
dextrine double sugar..
Water Toast
Dip the toasted slices into boiling
sailed water, quickly (1a tsp. salt to 1
C. water) using a fork. Spread with
butter and serve.
Milk Toast
Dip the toasted slices into White
Sauce. When soft remove to serving
dish. Pour remaining sauce over all.
For six slices of toast use 1 pint
White Sauce.

WHEN BEGINNING A BOOK.

In reading a book it is well to look
at the title page, and so make &C
quaintance with the author. If you
call at the house of friend or stop
at the door of a stranger, you do not
omit the courtesy of saying, Good
morning." When you first open a
book you introduced yourself to the
author and say, Good morning" by
glancing at the title page. Next, you
must look at the name at the foot of
the title page. This will tell you by
whom the book is published, and who
chose the paper for it, had it printed
and put it into an attractive binding.
If there is a preface, read that before
you read the story, and you will learn
what the author meant to give you of
pleasure or profit when writing the
book.

ROMAN cATAcoMBS A WITNESS
OF HISTORY.

On the 31st of May, 1878, portion
of the land over the catacombs of
Priscilla on the Vic Salaria caved in,
writes Cornelius" in the Marian"
1t was one of those apparent accidents,
but real providential designs that
changed the course of the current of
things. The sun of heaven streamed
for the first time into the subterranean
chambers. The sun of truth irradiated
therefrom. For when the debris was
cleared away phials of martyrs blood,
instruments of martyrs tortures, fres-
Goes proving the invocation of saints,
the devotion to the Blessed Virgin,
the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, and
many such irrefragable testimonies
were found. God had listened long
enough to the revilers of His Church
He now caused the earth to open and
give up it's dead treasures of truth to
silence the declaiming falsif1ers.
Then commenced the period of res
toration of the catacombs, the golden
period whose sun has not yet reached
it's zenith. The discoveries of the
noble men such as Bosio, Father Mar
chi, Commentators de Rossi and Mar
rucchi, have made archaeology the
handmade of history and indicated
scientifically the traditions of the
Church.
They have proved to those that
needed proof that the church of the
catacombs is identical with the church
of today, and made intelligent Protes-
tants admit that if the catacombs
should give up their dead, and if it
were given to the resurrected to come
to pray among us they would come
not to the cold spiritless meeting
house, but to the old, artistic, color
loving, saint-making, Christ-founded
church. They would see the same sac
rifice offered in the same iturgical
language. They would hear the same
doctrine explained and see the same
sacraments administered, the same
honor paid to Mary, and the same
deathless faith in the eucharistic
presence of Mary's Son.
