FAMOUS ROSARY.
Beads Used by Empress Carlotta,
Wife Of MaximilIian.

The Sisters of the Santa Maria In
stitute, Cincinnati, possess a famous
rosary, which has attracted much at
tention. 1t is the rosary used by the
Empress Carlotta, wife of the ill
starred Emperor Maximillian, and was
secured in Mexico a number of years
ago by Mrs. Eleanor Childs Meehan, a
friend of the institute.
The medal, which bears the imprint
of the Virgin of Guadalupe, and is
much larger than twenty-dollar gold
piece, is of the purest gold, as is the
chain that holds the beads. The gold
cross was missing from it when it
was found by Mrs. Meehan, after all
trace of it had been lost for many
years.
The cross was replaced, and for a
long time Mrs. Meehan, who travels
much, took it with her on all hel
journeys. 1t has touched all the fam
Gus shrines of Europe, and has been
blessed by the late Pontiff. Leo XIII

THOUGHTS ON THE DIVINE
PARAcLETE.

We must remember that the Holy
Ghost places our security wholly in
the custody of the tongue: HE that
keepeth his mouth, keepeth his soul;
but he that hath no guard on his
speech shall meet with evils. prov
VIII, 81 Giving us to know that he
who guards his lips, keeps his soul
from all harm keeps his
soul from those sins, which those
commonly incur who are fond of talk
ing much. Silence alone is a most
safe sentinel over the mouth, for this
alone is the seal of which the Holy
Ghost is speaking. Scaramelli,
S. ].
The spirit of the Lord hath filed
the whole world Owls. 1. y because
He is all goodness, kindness, and
charity; and this is the spirit of those
who are true faithful of Jesus Christ.
They, too, desire to do good to the
whole world. Happy art thou if thou
possesseth the Divine Spirit! most
miserable if thou dost not! For in
that case thou 1ackest the fairest
quality of Christian. Take this OPP
portunity of endeavoring to enkindle
in thy heart the desire of acquiring
it. Humbly invoke the Holy Ghost.
Frequently recite onefof the beautiful
Hymns addressed to Him, the veni
Sancte Spiritus or the Veni Creator
Spiritus.-Fr. Segneri, s. j.
1t was through the power of the
Holy Ghost, that-the World was
made flesh and dwelt amongst us.
The Incarnation of the Son of God
was effected in Mary. And since
none can be saved unless he (by the
practice Of virtue) be made conform
able to the image of the Son of God,
implore the Divine Spirit that
through the intercession of Mary,
His Immaculate Spouse, He may pro.
'dnce within him, this Divine likeness
-Fr. Marianus, o. NJ. Cap.

Ghost, from Whom proceeded his

CHRISTIAN WoMANHooD.

The Catholic woman in her home
has unlimited power and her infu-
ence for good cannot be over-esti-
mated. All the charms and virtues
with which Christianity has endowed
her point to her exalted position as
mans refining and spiritualizing in
fluence. Men may make the country S
laws, but she can influence mems
morals for good or for evil, and so
true is this that the moral condition
of society may be taken as an index
of the virtues of its women and of
the respect given them by its men.
Whatever, then, may be the outcome
of the present movement for woman.s
emancipation, this assertion cannot be
challenged. Any attempt to force
woman from her natural sphere of
activity to place her in rivalry with
man in the rude business of life can
end only in disaster. Twenty centur.
les of civilization have surrounded
her with charms which are the secret
of her power Any attack upon these
endowments must end eventually in
the return of the Amazon to assume
the place now held by Christian WON
anhood.

INcENSE-ITS MEANING.

They sat in the front pew-tbe
Catholic and his Protestant friend.
With the aid of a Mass Book for non
Catholics" the friend was able to fol
low the ceremony understandingly.
But when the affairs and the priests
were incensed he frowned, and when
an enthusiastic altar boy vigorously
directed the censor in his direction
he coughed helplessly and protest
ingly. Fe
On their way out the non-Catholic
in response to the question in his
friends eye said:
Eyes, l thought the service very
beautiful. | could catch most of the
symbolism, but why they choke the
congregation with incense is beyond
me-
ITS not generally so overpower-
ing" laughed the Catholic. THE rea-
son for it's use is good
tits an emblem of prayer. Prayer
ascends to God from a heart in
famed with love, as the smoke rises
from the hot censor. 1t is an ancient
symbol. The royal prophet said: Let
my prayer, o Lord, be directed like
incense in Thy sight
The altar, the priests, the choir
and the people are incensed as a
token of honor to them-not in any
sense as a token of divine honor, but
of due respect for the things of God,
His ministers and His people. The
Tablet, Brooklyn.

ORIGIN OF THE NAME MARY.

There are few Catholic parents to
whom a daughter is born who hest
tate to give the child the name of
Mary. In so doing they wish to place
the infant under the protection of
Mary, the Mother of Christ, and they
are not troubled by genealogical dis
cussions about the name. Hitherto
the liturgy of the Church and tradi-
ton have agreed in regarding the
name as of purely Hebrew origin and
meaning ''Star of the Sea-" In re-
cent article the German theologian,
Father Zorell, asks if we may not con-
slider the name as formed of two ele-
ments-Hebrew and Egyptian.
AS a matter of fact, the name Mary
is first heard in Egypt, Miriam, the
sister of Moses, being the first person
in the worlds history to bear the
name. The Israelites had, in the
days of Moses, dwelt for four cen
turtles in the land of the Pharaohs,
and proper names formed with
"Mer," "Meri' and Nor" signifying
"who loves" were common in Egypt.
Thus Maria" "who loves (the
god Anon" @
The Identification of the second
portion of the name liam" with 'iah,'
the abbreviation of Jahveh or Jeho-
yah, is established by Fir. Zorell from
the Scriptural references, and thus
the name Miriam, Mary, in it's ety.
biological root, was meant to signify
lone who loves God" an appellation
quite as acceptable, if less poetic, as
liturgical title "Star of the Sea-"

"A SAINT FOR THE WEEK.
ST. WALTHEoF, ABBOT.

st. Waltheof was brought up at the
court of his stepfather, King David
of Scotland, and there formed a
friendship with ST. Aelred. When the
King took him out to the chase he
would Withdraw to some hidden spot,
and spend his time in pious reading
or prayer. At the first chance he
stole away from the court to the Au-
gustinian priary of st. OsWald's in
Yorkshire, where he hoped to lie hid
and die But such was not his lot
He was chosen prior of Kirkham, and
was sent to Rome to appeal against
the election of William, Archbishop of
York. On his return, an interior call
of grace, seconded by the advice of
ST. Aelred, moved him to exchange
to the Cistercian Order Scarcely had
he done so when a violent reaction
set in, and it was only after bitter
suspense that he felt assured of hay
ing fcnowed Gods will. He became
abbot of Melrose, and governed his
monks with great charity. He had
the gift of tears, his voice was sweet
and soft, and a certain spiritual JOY
always shone on ibis pale face. Once
he appeared before King Stephen in
England with his bundle of clothes
on his back His brother, who stood
by, said to the King, See how my
brother and thy kinsman does honor
to his lineage But Stephen answer
ed, IF thou and had only the grace
to see it, he is an ornament to our
race" St. Waltheof died, A. D. 1160.
A stone in the ruins of Melrose marks
his grave.
st. Waltheof's trial in his novitiate
is thus described. Observance of the
rule became loathsome to him; while
his former life, though less austere,
seemed more guided by Christian pru-
dence, and more fit for the saving of
souls. The temptation increased the
more he prayed against it, till at
length one day me flung himself down
in utter anguish, and asked only to
do Gods will. An invisible hand
raised him from the ground, his soul
was filled. with light, and from that
moment. he felt neither regret nor
doubt. At the end of the year he
received the white habit from his
friend, ST. Aelred, who clothed him
with the usual form: "The Lord put
| off thee the old man with. his Deeds
Great indeed was the joy of his heart
as the brethren answered, Amen.

THE VALUE OF HOLY MASS.

At the hour of death the Masses
you have heard will be your greatest
consolation.
Every Mass will go with you to
judgment and plead for pardon.
At every Mass you can diminish
the temporal punishment due to your
sins, more or less, according to your
fervor.
Assisting devoutly at Mass you
render to the Sacred Humanity of
Our Lord the greatest homage.
He supplies for many of your neg
LICENCES and omissions.
He forgives you all the venial sins
which you are determined to avoid
He forgives you all your unknown
sins which you never confessed.
The power of Satan over you is
diminished
You afford the souls in purgatory
the greatest possible relief.
One Mass heard during your life
will be of more benefit to you than
many heard for you after your death.
You are preserved from many dan
gers and misfortunes which would
otherwise have befallen you.
You shorten your purgatory by
every Mass.
Every Mass wins for you higher
degree of glory in heaven.
You receive the priests blessing,
which Our Lord ratif1es in heaven.
You kneel amidst multitude of
holy angels, who are present at the
Adorable Sacrifice with reverential
awe.
You are blessed in your temporal
goods and affairs.
, When we hear Mass, and offer the
Holy Sacrifice in honor of any par
ticular saint or angel, thanking God
for the favor He bestowed on him,
we afford him a new degree of honor,
joy and happiness, and draw his
special love and protection on us.
Every time we assist at Mass, we
should, besides other intentions offer
1t in honor of the saint of the day
Sentinel of the Blessed Sacrament.

HOW CATHOLICS FACE DEATH.

Oliver Wendell Holmes was once
asked his opinion, as a physician, on
the effect of beliefs on the minds of
those approaching death. He re-
piled:
80 far as | have observed per
sons nearing the end of life, the
Roman Catholics understand the
business of dying better than others.
have seen a good many Roman Cath
olics on their death beds, and it al
ways appeared to me that they &C
copied the inevitable with a compo-
sure which showed that their belief,
whether or not the best to live by,
was better one to die by than most
of the harder ones that have replaced
it."

And ghostly terrors hating me for

COINS IN THE BIBLE.
Value of the Groat, the Penny and
Thirty Pieces of Silver.

In the New Testament the Lord
speaks of woman losing a groat.
This is an English term denoting a
coin, the greatest made in 1851, to
the value of four pence, eight cents
of our money.
The term penny" which our Savior
uses in the. parable Of the. vineyard,
as mans daily wage, was equal to
fifteen cents in our money.
The thirty pieces of silver which
the Jews weighed out to Judas as
the price of his betrayal of our Lord,
were equal to from ST to $40 in our
money.
