Irish Names for Chinese.

Five Chinese orphan babies will get
five dollars each and good Irish
name if they accept the gift with a
string attached to it from Phila-
delphia donor, name withheld. The
five babies are in an orphan asylum in
China.
Several weeks ago Rev. DR.. William
j. Garrigan, diocesan director of the
Society for the Propagation of Faith
of the Catholic Church, published an
appeal from a sister of charity in
China who had charge of the asylum.
The sister said the donor of five dol
lars would have the privilege of NAM
ing one of the babies
The other day Doctor Garrigan got
a letter with $25 inclosed, ITO name
five babies," the donor said. Attached
to the note were these suggested
names:
Patrick, John, Bridget. Margaret
and Johanna.-Philadelp North

EXPLAINING DREAD OF DEATH
Suspension of All Familiar Activities
Is Something the Mind instructive
Iy Shrinks From.

1t is the variety of experience which
makes life interesting-toil and rest,
pain and relief, hope and satisfaction,
danger and security. If we once re-
move the idea Of vicissitude from life,
it all becomes an indolent and unin-
spring affair.
1t is the process of change which is
delightful-the finding out what we
can do and what we cannot-going
from ignorance to knowledge, from
clumsiness to skill Even our rela-
tons with those whom we love are all
bound UP with the discoveries we
make about them, and the degree in
which we can help them and affect
them.
What the mind instinctively dislikes
is stationariness; and an existence in
which there was, nothing to escape
from, nothing more to hope for, to
learn, to desire, would be frankly I'M
endurable.
The reason why we dread death is
because it seems to be a suspension Of
all our familiar activities. 1t would
be terrible to have nothing but mem
DRY to depend upon.
The only use of memory is that it
distracts us little from present con-
ditions If they are dull, and it is only
too true that the recollection in sor-
row of happy things is torture of the
worst kind.

BIRDS NOT PROPERLY NAMED
Many Have Misleading Applications
meadow Lark" One of the Clear
est Illustrations.

Many of our birds are often called,
even in books, by names which are
misleading. The average young bird
student really knows more about birds
than the folks who gave some of our
birds their names While these birds
were as yet without English names
Harry would naturally stick" espe-
cially If the names were reminders of
the birds the early settlers had known
across the sea. But the "misitting"
names are by no means all due to this
cause, as we shall see.
Meadow lark is an example of one
kind of misnaming. The real American
representatives of the European larks
are our horned larks. These are much
smaller, more quiet and less snowy
birds than the big starlings; hence
they failed to attract attention. But
these starlings of the open meadows,
with their habit of singing on the
wing, sometimes as they circled to
alight, suggested to the people, how
ever remotely, their beloved larks; SO
they were called meadow larks.
Robin" as applied to our ruddy-
breasted thrush, Is another example,
but less serious one. Even to this
day one occasionally hears our bird
called "redbreast," as was done by the
early colonists on account of the rud-
dy coloring which it had in common
with the English warbler, which they
had known so we'll as ''robin-red-
breast. st Nicholas.
