PIONEER SISTER SUCCUMBS
FOUNDERS OF THE SISTERS OF
ST. ANNE IN BRITISH COLUMBIA
ARRIVED THERE IN 1859.

On November 10, Sister Mary Con
ception, whose association with ST
Anne's Academy, Victoria, B. c., Can.
dates back to the very beginning Of
the history of the Order of st. Anne
in British Columbia, passed away in
her ninetieth year.
The funeral service was held in the
chapel Of the Academy. Right Rev
erend Bishop Macdonald celebrated
Requiem High Mass and preached a
sermon on the beautiful life and noble
qualities of the dead Sister and the
great work she had accomplished for
the Church in the early days of Vic
toria. Interment was made in the spe
cial Convent plot at Ross Bay Gene
terry.
Born in 1926 in a little Quebec vii
lage near Montreal, Miss Mary Lane
was educated by the Sisters of the Sa
cred Heart near Montreal, and later
entered the Sisterhood of st. Anne
receiving the name of Sister Mary
Conception. With Sister Mary An
gele, Sister Mary of the Sacred Heart
and Sister Mary Lumince, Sister
Mary Conception set out for Victoria
in 1858, reaching their destination in
June of that year, by way of the 18th
mus of Panama and San Francisco
Sister Mary Conception outlived hel
three companions, and through hel
death the Convent loses the last linl
with the early days of the Catholic
Church in British Columbia.
Immediately after their arrival in
Victoria which then was little more
than a Hudson Bay trading post, the
four Sisters opened a school in theil
little log cabin on what is now Hey
wood avenue. Besides the little
school in Victoria, which later gave
way to the larger st. Annes Convent
Sister Mary Conception was instru
mental in founding many others OF
Vancouver Island and the lower main
land, which will remain lasting monu
ments to her memory.

Brief Reviews and Notices

The Missions and Missionaries of
California: BY FIR! Zephyrin Engle-
hardt, 0. f. M. Vol. 4. Upper Cali
fornia. Published by the James
II. Barry Company, San Francisco,
Cal. Price, $500 net.
This final volume of the series of
the General History of the California
Missions by FIR Zephyrin, O. F. NJ,
brings the history of the Church in
Upper California down to modern
days, to the establishment of the Arch
diocese of San Francisco, and relates
some of the difficulties encountered
by Archbishop Alemany, the first
Metropolitan. 1t tells the story of
the final overthrow of the missions
and the humiliation of the Franciscan
Padres who established them, at the
hands of SUBSCRIPTIONS politicians.
The volume, comprising ST octave
pages, is replete with matter of high
est interest and Importance 1t is
storehouse of historical data CLEAN
ed from the annals of the early days
by one to whom the work was labor
of love. His painstaking and con-
scientious study has given to the
world one of the most valuable con-
tributions we have on the history of
California. In the preface the author
disclaims any intention of producing
a learned work or work of literary
merit. His sole aim was to dig out
the facts, arrange them in connected
as well as chronological order, and
present them truthfulIy, clearly, and
briefly, SO that more capable minds,
to whom the sources are practically
inaccessible, might be enabled to
clothe the rugged facts in the literary
and scientific style welcomed by the
public But he has done more than
this. He has not only gathered the
material but he has presented it in a
most attractive manner. The thrill
ing and at times romantic story holds
the interest of the reader to the last
page and he lays down the book with
regret. The author has produced a
book of exceptional value for the
historian of the future, as we'll as for
the student OF the present day.
La Sainte Eucharistie: BY Rev. t.
Hugon, Q. P. Published by Pierre

The impetus given to devotion to
the Blessed Eucharist during the pom
tificate of Pope Plus X, naturally led
to the publication of a great number
of treatises, dealing with different
phases of the Eucharistic life of our
Lord and tending to increase devo.
ton to Him. In order that this deyo
ton be fruitful in spiritual benefits
it must be solidly founded on dog
matte truth and sustained and guided
by Catholic teaching. The recent
work of Father Hugon, o. p, a mem

Thomas, gives an accurate, complete
and practical treatise on this impor-

flee as Minister for Native Affairs, and
showed much insight and sympathy
in dealing with the Maoris during a
particularly troublous period. For a
time he held the Premiership, but a
breakdown in health compelled him,
on medical advice, to revisit England,
fully resolved, however, to return to
"Maoriland'' in due course. An inter
view with Lord Carnarvon, the then
Secretary of State for the Colonies,
completely changed that determine
ton, and altered the whole course of
his career. Lord Carnarvon was so
impressed by Yields evident ability,
knowledge, and practical colonial ex-
perience, that, the Governorship of
Western Australia, happening to be
vacant at the time, he decided to offer
it to the ex-Premier of New Zealand.
The appointment was accepted, and

Australia.

ciety. If the Catholic press would
meet the modern challenge thrown to
it by hostile tongues and pens, it must
have the generous support of the
reading public; and it must prove
itself worthy of such support by UNI
flinching courage, by increasing
vigor and unquestionable excellence.
Thus by turning his own weapon
against the enemy, the Church may
weather these modern storms and
win America at length to the true
Fold of Christ.

or to sing at such services is certainly
to take part in them, and consequently
to sin grievously. If a Catholic
has been guilty of such a sin, he must

May a prayer-book be used before
it is blessed?
A prayer-book is used to help us to
pray. The prayer that God hears
is in the heart, not in the book. We
may have the book blessed as every
article that we use may be blessed.
The blessing adds nothing to the eff
cacy of the prayers.
Does the Catholic Church forbid
Catholics to sing at non-catholic
services?
AS Catholics, indeed as reasonable
men, we must believe that there is
only one true worship; and religious
worship, be it noted, is the highest
act that man can perform. 1t is
direct communication with God. False
worship is then, evidently. the highest
falsehood To take part in such wor-
ship is to act falsehood even in
addressing the God of Truth AS
Catholics we believe that non-Cath-
Ollie worship is false Worship. For
Catholics to take part in such wor-
ship is evidently to sin grievously; it
is to hold formal cooperation in what
is grayely sinful. To play the organ,

courts to obtain authority to collect
ad valorem taxes from the Central of
Georgia railway on it's Augusta and
Savannah and Southwestern divis-
ions, which roads are leased by the
Central in perpetuity, il it cares to
effect such lease at the expiration
of the present term of one hundred
and one years, the state of Georgia
through Comptroller General Wright
has demanded that the Central pay
taxes on the value of the leases and
lease privileges which it holds in
these roads.
This plan has been agreed upon by
the controller general and Judge j..
C. Hart, the state tax commissioner,
who has represented the state in a
lot of litigation with the roads in
the cases began while Judge Hart
was attorney general of the state.
Expect Returns.
Recently the comptroller general
notified the Central of Georgia that
he would expect it to make returns
upon it's leases and lease privileges
in the Augusta and Savannah at
100000 and the value of the lease
and lease privileges in the Southwest
ern at 100000. The comptroller
general declined to accept these val
uations and responded by assessing
the value of the lease and lease privi-
leges in the Augusta and Savannah
at 1858, $50, and the value of the
lease and lease privileges in the
Southwestern at $3,806,620.
The Central excepted to these as
sessments and notified Attorney Gen
eral Wright that it would submit the
matter to arbitration, naming Attor-
ney Alex w. Smith of Atlanta as the
arbitrator for the road. General
Wright then appointed Chairman G.
M. Gambler of the state railroad COM
mission arbitrator for the state. Mr..
Smith and Mr.. Gambler will meet in
a day or two to discuss the value Of
the leases and lease privileges.
Should they fail to agree they will
endeavor to decide on third arbitra-
tor to umpire the case, and if they
fail to agree on an umpire the gov
ernor will be called upon to name

The 17-YEAR LOCUSTS
SIXTH BROOD NOW DUE TO APP
PEAR IN EASTERN STATES.
Little Actual Damage Is Expected to
Be Done. The COmbative Meas
ures That Are Recommended.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Brood VII
of the cicada, commonly known as
the seventeen-year locust, S expected
to appear in June this year in scatter
ed localities covering much of the
northern and central states lying be-
tween the Hudson and Mississippi
rivers, extending along the Appalach-
ian elevated plateau into northern
Georgia and South Carolina. This
particular brood made its last APP
pearance in this territory in 1898.
The seventeen-year locust covers
in it's range nearly all of the United
States from the Mississippi valley
eastward. The curious feature of its
regular periodic appearances and its
long subterranean life give it per
haps the greatest popular interest
which attaches to any insect on this
continent, and lead to many inquiries
with every temperance of any I'M
portant brood. There are two races
of this insect. Cd The seventeen
wear race, which occurs in II differ
ent broods over the northern and
central United States, and CD the
thirteen-year race, which occurs IN
different broods throughout the
southern states from Texas eastward.
While the expected brood is not an
important one it covers much wider
territory than any of the other sew
enteen-vear broods. According to
records the number of locusts to be
expected over most of this territory
| is not great, except in the Northwest
and in the Southeast.
Ordinary repellent substances
such as kerosene emulsion or car
bolic acid solutions, seem to have
very little effect in preventing the
Oviposition of these insects. some
recent experience, however, Indicates
that trees thoroughly sprayed with
bordeaux mixture or lime wash are
ant to be avoided by the cicada, eS-
peciallv if there are other trees or
woods in the neighborhOOd on when
thew can oviposit. The most rella-
HE means of protecting nurseries
and young orchards is by collecting
the insects in bags or umbrellas from
the trees in early morning Or late
evening, when they are somewhat tor-
mid. Such collections should be I'M
dertaken at the first appearance OF
the cicada and repeated each day.
Vigorous young trees often recover
in three or four years from the ef-
fects of a loss of, or injury to, con-
siderable percentage of their branch
es. However, it is difficult to over
come the unsymmetrical appearance
which will commonly result from the
indiscriminate pruning often neces-
sary as a result of the female insects
work.
The worst affected branches should
he removed. The less injured limbs
NAV be coated on the wounded parts
with grating wax or moderately
hard soap. These protective cover
ings should be renewed at least once
a wear. preferably in the spring, un-
til the wounds are entirely healed
over. 1t may be expedient, in the
case of a badly wounded recently DuG-
ded or grated tree, to cut it BACK
nearly to the bud or graft, so tha'
an entirely new top may be made
