CURING THEsExcusE HABIT.

How can a girl of twelve, who al
ways makes excuses for any mis-
takes she has made, be helped to rid
herself of this habit?
Explain to her gently and carefully
how worthless an excuse is, and then
regularly refuse to receive excuses for
duty undone or for misconduct. No
excuse will mend broken cup. Let
her pay for it. Let her reap natural
result of whatever she does, quite re-
CARELESS of the excuse. 1t must be
borne in mind that often there is a
reasonable explanation of what has
happened, to which mother ought to
be willing to listen. Mother ought to
be sure that she holds herself to the
same good standard. In daughters
case, mother ought to enforce the law
with firmness, fairness, and tender
ness in equal measure.

THE CULT OF THE COMFORTABLE.

1t is the rather inglorious distinction
of the American people to have in
vented the cult of the comfortable.
Side by side with strength and vigor
of purpose, we have developed crav-
ing for such refinements of luxury as
minister to bodily ease in a degree I'M
paralleled by anything in Europe. Eng
land indeed knows the word, but it is
not given over to the quest; France,
with all it's frivolity and love of pleas
ure, has not even the word. Com
Portable" had to be imported into it's
vocabulary, and today, though the
academicians use it, quotation marks
still show that it is an alien and not a
native product. With us, however, the
desire to be comfortable is almost uni
versal; it has pervaded all classes; it
has taken from us much of the old en-
ergy of our national life.
The Lenten season is a protest
against this quest for the restful and
easy and pleasant things of life. The
purpose of it's gospels is to rouse us
from our lethargy and from our weak
Welding to self Life upon earth is a
warfare, and the Christian who would
not be false to ideals must be strong
and militant in self-denial. Our strug-
gle is with the powers of darkness.
Now Christ long ago pointed out the
folly of trying to cast out devils by
Beelzebub. Allies do not fight among
themselves. We cannot do what the
Son of God did not even try to do.
We cannot cast out sin by yielding to
one of the capital sins. There is no
easy road to 1.-The Celestial Jeru-
salem.' 1.-The kingdom of heaven
suffereth violence, and the violent bear
it away" The violence of which there
is question in these words of our Lord
is principally violence against oneself,
thing with which the cult of the COM
Portable is utterly at variance. Out OF
our hearts we have to cast the devil,
and this can never be done by soft
ness. Sloth is no defense whatever
1t is not even the armor wherein the
most foolish of men might trust. Dis
cipline of soul and body is called for
by the Church, contrition also anO
penance, and this not merely to atone
and satisfy for personal sin, but tc
bring both mind and body into sub
lection, and to fill them with force and
resolution to fight, not for pleasureable
idleness and enervating ease but FOL
the better, the nobler, the more worthy
things of life, the things that endure
beyond the passing of time. America.

IN THE STREET.
It Is the Correct Thing:-

Il Is the Correct Thing:-
To appear dressed neatly, soberly,
and becomingly on the street.
To avoid every act calculated to at
tract attention.
To return all salutations courte-
ously.
To avoid what is called a street
Irritation as one would the plague.
To remember that laughter and loud
tones are particularly unbecoming on
the street.
To remember that others have the
right of way as we'll as ones self, and
that it is ill-bred to try to monopolize
the whole pavement:
To refrain from staring at the pass
ersby.
To remember that no lady is ever
seen talking on the street corner.
To remember that the street is not
dining-room for the consumption OF
candy, peanuts, etc.
For a younger person to give prece
dence to an older one.
II Is Not the Correct Thing:-
To wear flashy, snowy costumes
jewelry, or rouge on the street.
To be dressed so shabbily as to at
tract attention.
To be defective in eyesight when a
poor acquaintance is passing by.
For a girl to try to attract gen
tleman's attention.
To speak to some one across the
street.
To hold an umbrella so that it's drip
pings will fall upon ones companion
or the passing pedestrians.
For three or four girls to walk
abreast like a detachment of militia
to the inconvenience of others who
have a right to the street.
For a lady to take a gentleman
arm in the daytime unless it has beer
sleeting.
For a girl to giggle, talk slang, OF
discuss private affairs on the street.
To laugh at the defects or the pecu
liarities of persons seen on the street
To show ill-temper if one is jostlet
by the crowd.

SALT HINTS.

Put damp salt on burns. 1t kills the
pain.
Dry salt and brush will take dust
off of velvet, plush, and heavy en-
broidery that cannot be washed.
In making fruit pies, when they boil
over, sprinkle salt in oven and it will
not smell. Add a pinch of salt to
starch. 1t will keep the irons from
sticking.
Rub salt on griddle and it will not
smoke.

CHARM.

II mean by charm says Arthur
Benson, in the Century, mot a mere
superficial gracefulness which can be
learned, as good manners are learned,
through certain code of behavior, but
thing which is the flower and out
ward sign of a beautiful attitude to
life; an eagerness to welcome every
thing which is fine and fresh and I'M
stained; that turns away the glance
from things unlovely and violent and
greedy, not in a disappearing or self
righteous spirit, because it is respect
able to be shocked, but in a sense OF
shame and disgrace that such cruel
and covetous and unclean things
should be. If one takes a figure like
that of st. Francis of Assist, who for
all the superstition and fanaticism
with which the record is intermingled,
showed real reflection and restora-
ton of the old Christian Joy of life, we
shall see that he had a firm hold Of the
secret"

THINGS WORTH REMEMBERING.

Work is done much more easily in
the early part of the day than it is
later on.
In any salad dressing calling for
sugar, try using strained honey in the
place of sugar.
Overheating is the chief evil to be
guarded against in ventilation at
present.
When macaroni or spaghetti is COM
bined with cheese, nuts or salt fish it
becomes a very substantial dish.
1t is an acknowledged fact that dis
ease thrives in filthy surroundings.
The principal dish of the meal, to
whatever class it may belong, should
be varied according to season and
means.
The vacuum cleaner is a boon to
mankind from hygienic as we'll as a
labor-saving point of view.
If carefully Numbered, fiannels will
retain their softness indefinitely.
Peanut butter mixed with mayor.
naise improves the dressing for fruit
salad.
Lemonade is much better if half or.
anges and half lemons are used, OF
half oranges and grape fruit make Q
delicious combination.
Don't mistake cheapness for econ

| conclude, therefore, that the won
derful grace of conversion and the
greatness of the revelations made to
st. Paul did not miraculously change
the impetuosity of his nature. He was
elevated, sanctified, illumined. He
became an Apostle, a teacher, saint.
But in sensitiveness, in kindness, in
quick retort, in fiery onset he remain
ed the man of Tarsus to the end.

SMILE.

A sad saint who is sad is a very
poor saint, writes St Francis de
Sales. And another writer, far re-
moved from this most amiable of all
saints, tells us that some people be-
lieve they are pious when they are
only bilious. They are inclined to be
pessimistic and escheW cheerfulness
as a grave menace to spiritual youth.
They walk in the path which they
have surveyed and marvel that others
should not follow their example. They
strive, unconsciously if you wish, to
make religion hard and repellant, a
mere bundle of arbitrary rules-a
monstrosity born of their overheated
imaginations and fears. They forget
that cheerfulness is a powerful help to
the practice of all virtue. Joy is the
keynote of the gospel. Optimism,
cheerfulness, buoyancy ring out in the
lives of the saints the best representa-
tives of the Church's spirit. Of ST.
Teresa another saint has said: God
be blessed. Here is a saint whom we
can all initiate. She eats, sleeps and
laughs like other persons; without af-
fectations; without ceremonies; and
yet with all that it is visible that she
is filled with the Spirit of God"
st. Ignatius of Loyola said to one
of his sons in the grip of moodiness:
my son l want you to laugh. / want
you to be happy in the Lord; a relig-
ious has no reason to be sad, and he
has many reasons to be cheerful"
And st. Teresa gives us through her
religious some sound advice: What
would become of our little COM
munity," she used to say, eff everyone
endeavored to bury the little bit of
humor and wit that she has. Nobody
can have too much of it. Let every
one show in all simplicity whatever
amount she has of it for the common
joy and pleasure. Do not initiate
those unfortunate people who as soon
as they have acquired a little piety,
put on a gloomy and peevish air and
seem to be afraid of speaking or
breathing lest their piety should fly
away"
Were not the saints, says a writer
in the Catholic World, themselves re-
sponsible for the making and develop.
ment of that spirit of decided optim-
ism so noticeable throughout our
liturgical books. The martyrs them
selves preserved that peace and cheer.
| fulness in the midst of the most re-
fined tortures. Whoever reads for the
first time the passion of st. Lawrence
must experience strange surprise and
emotion at the triumphant pleasantly
thrown by the holy martyr into his
tormentors' face: This side is well
done! Turn me over and eat
st. Teresa as we said was no friend
of sour-faced piety. No melancholy
sanctity was her watchword. Please
she said in letter, narrate to others
all the misfortunes we have had with
that kind of sanity people. 1t would
be better to abstain from opening new
houses than to put in them melancholy
subjects.
So let us cultivate cheerfulness
The smile can be manifestation Of
mental health and an invigoratins
tonic. No pessimistic preachment
but BE glad and rejoice"

His Sympathy.

The other side Of the shield shows
his loving, kindly nature just as strik-
ingly, and in it's way tends to prove
the same conclusion. He would make
any sacrifice, undergo any hardship to
win love. Il do not want yours, but
you." How he pleads, entreats,
coaXes! What wistful yearning to
have a place in mems hearts, what
sorrow upon sorrow" when, to do his
duty, he must lose it! But it is all
for Christ, to whom his surrender is
full, complete, irrevocable. Any suf.
fering for Christ was welcome Who
can restrain his emotion when con.
templating the poor Apostle, his flesh
torn to shreds with the lash, flung
into a loathsome dungeon at Philippi
but, despite the sitting heat and the
cruel pain, singing at midnight a
psalm of praise to God? This gener
osity in suffering for Christ was ever
reflected in his generosity in suffering
for men. ITO spend and to be spent
was his consuming desire. The world
was not too big for his mission, the
conversion of the human race, not toe
great for his aim.

He can and does at times write with
idyllic beauty. But if there are pas
sages like the rhythmic tapping of
the gentle waters of an inland lake,
there are whole chapters that heave
and roll, aye, and foam, like stormy
sea. Read the letter to the Galatians.
See how it sizzles and sparks and
snaps! There is an explosion coming,
sure! And it does come, when Paul
declares his wish that the Judaizers
would get with vengeance the full
benefit of their ceremonies, and, to
put it mildly, would be cut to pieces.
In the full glow of his imagination
and in his great rage he is Titanic. In
