members of the community submitted
to her rule most cheerfully for she
was exceedingly wise and she pre-
ferred to rule by love and cheerful
ness rather than austerity. Many au.
thenticated stories are told which
proves she was a worker of the most
wonderful miracles. Her charity was
proverbial, giving always without a
thought for herself. 1t may be i'm
agined that the larder of the COmmun-
ity was very often empty because of
the Saints great desire to relieve
every case Of want. that appealed to
her. AS result the dear nuns faced
starvation themselves very often, at
such times the prayers OF St. Brigid
were potent enough to fill the empty
larder in some miraculous way. So.

attention of many to-day as a recent
discovery for the amelioration of the
conditions surrounding the poor, but

faith, the art of housekeeping in
all it's branches. st. Brigid was what
one might call "homely" saint, her
piety was not of the repellant kifd,
she loved little children and they
loved her, she listened to the little
tales Of daily struggles of the poor,
she laughed with them in their glad
ness and she cried with them in their
sorrow.
Woman suffrage is also claiming
the attention of the public as a recent
innovation and yet in the far off days
of the Fifth century in the Green

exercised on the people both prelates,

she could get hold of, very often caus-

and to those about her. Once when
she had nothing else to give to re-

pealed to her, she took very valu-
able sword that had been given to her
father by the King Of Leinster, she
sold the jewels with which it was DEG
Grated and gave the money to the
poor. When the King heard of this
he was exceedingly angry and sent for
Brigid to punish her for her deed, but
she defied him bravely, saying, II

Next to the Feast of St. Patrick,
the Feast of st. Brigid, which occurs
on the first of February should have
the greatest interest for the Irish
exiles and their children. st. Brigid
was born in the year 453, just 21
years after the coming of St. Patrick.
At a. very early age she drank in wis
dom at the feet of the great apostle
and shares with him the glory and
sanctity of being the first to combine
the pious young virgins of Ireland
INTO Conventual communities. Today
it is the custom with lecturers and
biographers to give all the credit to
she great St. Benedict and his sister
st. Scolastica, for being the first to
introduce monastic rules into Com

For some purpose iron is to be
preferred to steel and vice versa. To
easily distinguish one from the other,
make bright spot on the metal with
a file or sand paper and apply single
drop of nitric acid. Allow it to re-
main for one or two minutes and wash
or wipe of. If the spot has a pale
ashy appearance it is wrought iron;
If it il Drownish black, it is steel;
If deep black, it is cast iron.
