Ink Which Eleaches.

AS the carbon of ordinary printing
inks does not bleach in using printed
material for new paper, a French firm
has patented a special ink. The black
pigment is compound from tanbark
extracts acting on ferrous sulphate;
and this is incorporated with resin. or
mineral jill and resin, or boiled lin
seed oil, In repulpng the paper the
ink is bleached with an acid solution
of hypochlorde. chlorine gas or by.
drochlolic or oxaliC acid, the pulp be-
ing made perfectly white.

THE LORDS DAY.

Rev. Charles Fislle (Episcopalian)
of Baltimore, addressing his people on
this subject said:
us there any binding rule about
keeping Sunday" he asks, and then
answers:
Most members of the church will
admit that there is some duty to OBJ
serve the Lords Day, but if they are
asked to tell what it is, their answers
will usually be vague and unintelli-
gible and the sense of obligation cor
respondingly obscure. Not one in fifty
is fully assured in his own mind.
The natural and necessary result is
that an increasingly large number Of
the nominal adherents of the church
are fast losing all sense of obligation
10 observe the Lords Day in any way
whatever
The test lies close at hand. Our
people are at least as intelligent as
their Roman Catholic neighbors, and
they are surely not less dutiful. Well,
our Roman Catholic fellow citizens
are taught this Scriptural and Cath
Ole doctrine-that the Lords Day is
to be kept by the celebration of the
Lords Supper, that it is definite
Christian duty to participate in that
celebration and that it is a mortal
sin not to fulfill that duty.
What follows? Why, this follows:
That any man who chooses shall see
thousands upon thousands crowding
to Roman Catholic churches on every
Sunday morning, one congregation
following another as the half hours
pass, until many successive congre-
cations have been assembled in the
same church on the same morning
And this, too, happens-that by the
recognition of the one definite duty
of the Lords Day thousands Of Rom
an Catholics are kept from practical
apostacy. Contrast this picture with
the scene that meets us in one of oul
own churches on Sunday morning
and how great is the difference!
wherein lies the remedy? Let oul
people understand that church atten
dance is a duty, not something that
depends on the feeling of the mo
ment. The holy communion is cele
brated at st. Michael and All Angels
every Sunday morning. If your Rom
an Catholic neighbor can manage tC
get out at G, Z, or 8, cannot you be in

THE CATECHIST ALWAYS INVALU-
ABLE.

Another priest who writes on the
subject of catechists is Reverend J. NJ.
Jigorel, P. F. NJ, of Kumbakonam,
India. His experience of forty years
in the East adds weights to his Opin-
ion.
He deems it impossible for any
priest, no matter how Jealous, to at
tend to the manifold duties of parish
without aid. There are often twenty
or thirty villages in one vicariate. To
preach, hear confessions, inspect the
schools, and supervise the necessary
constructions, is a Herculean task. !
The missionary needs auxiliaries en-
dowed with special qualities. They
must be able to instruct and control
the prospective converts. A school
for catechists has been founded, there
fore, and it is expected that scholar
ships will be secured whereby indi-
gent students may be assisted.
Are there not charitable Catholics
who would be willing to donate the
small sum necessary to educate a cate
chist? This work should appeal espe-
cially to teachers of our own country,
who understand the difficulties at
tendant upon the instruction of youth.

AN INFIDEL KING HAS THREE
CHRISTIAN SONS.

The mission of Katoka, in the Vicar
late of South Nyassa, has endured
many hardships since its foundation,
and has always met with determined
opposition from the king Kasura. His
sons, however, came in touch with the
missionaries and decided to become
Catholics. Though disappearing, the
King made no decisive move, and in
October, three of them were regener-
ated by the waters of baptism.
On the day of the baptism, two older
brothers, one of them her to the
throne, came to witness the ceremony.
While the prayers were being said in
the church they knelt in the court,
where they followed the little service
closely. The Christians were in a
state of great joy.
When the afternoon benediction was
over, the entire congregation went in
single file to the capital, bearing
pitchers of pombe and a bull intended
as gifts to the king. Kasura accepted
their congratulations and their gifts.

managed to forget the most painful,
but some return in spite of myself,
and in the middle of the night startle
me from my sleep, cold with horror
at their vividness."
-Four white men, Catholic priests,
were brave enough to combat these
awful conditions. The first work un.
dertaken was the ransom. of young
slaves for whom orphanages were
opened. Public opinion in Europe was
aroused and the governments slowly
took action, sending troops to enforce
their orders. The apostles continued
to work and pray, and great changes
at last took place in the Great Lake
region. The negro race now sees
an era of peace and justice opening
before it, and the missionaries look
back on a work we'll done.

THE BIBLE IN THE MIDDLE AGES

Dean Maitland, who during his life
time occupied the post of Librarian
of Lambeth Palace (the official resi-
dence of the Archbishop of Canter-
bury), and was known as one Of the
profoundest historical Investigators
of the day, and whose book THE
Dark Ages" is one of the noblest in
the language, has this to say on the
subject:
The writings of the dark ages are
simply made of the Scriptures. | do
not mean that the writer's constantly
quoted the Scriptures and appealed to
them as authorities on all occasions,
as other writer's have done since their
day-though they did this, and it is a
strong proof Of their familiarity with
them-but | mean that they thought
and spoke and wrote the thoughts of
the Bible, and that they did this con-
stantly and habitually as the natural
mode of expressing themselves. They
did it, too, not exclusively in theo-
| logical or ecclesiastical matters, but
| Ill ulSIOIIcS, DlOSIdpulSS, ldLullldI 1SI'
| ters, legal instruments and documents
of every description. Their ideas
seem to have fallen naturally into the
words of Scripture" They of whom
this is true could scarcely have been
ignorant of the Scriptures, and in the
| light of it Luther's story of his dis
coyery of the Bible becomes the veri-
est fairy tale.

TRUE TO HER FAITH.

In Hakodate, Japan, a Christian
woman, after obtaining the necessary
dispensation, married pagan. In
spite of an enraged mother-in-law, the
Catholic wife succeeded in having her
children baptized, and did not fail to
approach the sacraments whenever
she found herself near church.
After the birth of the third child,
however, her husband decided that he
would not permit it to be baptized.
But the Christian mother, true to her
faith, would not submit to this. IF
you do not let this child be baptized,
as you promised the priest before we
we're married, | shall take my chill
dren and leave you, for must obey
the laws of my Church before all
others.
The husband was forced to give his
consent, and now his wife has hopes
that before. long she may succeed in
winning him to the faith.

your church at 7:3O? And at least
can you not manage, in some way,
to be present at the morning service
at II or in the evening at s, even if
you cannot come early?
What we need is to learn that pub
lie worship is duty, a duty we have
no right to shirk, from which we have
no business to excuse ourselves. 1t
becomes g. pleasure as we obey the
sense of duty; but whether it is a
pleasure and profit or not, duty does
not cease.
"Is it not true that the neglect to
perform this duty has led in countless
cases to the drifting into neglect of
all duties on the Lords Day, and then
into the neglect of religious duties
generally? Many of us find much to
criticize in our Roman Catholic
friends. Why not pattern ourselves
after some Of their virtues?"

cHlNA's WATER SUPPLY.

The main artery for trade in China
is the mighty Yangtze Kiang river,
third in size among the great water
ways of the world, but first in COM
mercial Importance. 1t is the main
artery for trade between eastern and
western China, and for a thousand
miles from it's mouth it is crowded
with every sort or craft, from a ma
tive junk to British steamship. All
nations, all varieties of vessels, are
represented.
China is rich in rivers. They are
at once her wealth and poverty
Though capable of being 4 source OF
great mercantile power, owing to the
lack of means for controlling them
they frequently overflow vast tracts
of land and bring about the death
and ruin of millions of human beings
China's frequent famines are usually
caused by floods. Over and over
again the rice crop in some district

100000 lepers. China has uncounted
thousands hidden in every corner of
the Empire. A writer in missionary
magazine says of this country:
Il found in one village alone, out
side the city of Canton, seven or eight
hundred lepers herded together in
dark dismal houses unfit for human
habitation. The authorities informed
me that they estimated the number
of lepers in their own province of
Kwang-tung, at not less than $4,000.
Other provinces of China are terribly
affected, while leprosy is quite COM
mon as far north as Hankow. A re-
cent letter from Korea says that there
are probably 10000 lepers in that
country, of whom the greater majority
are hopeless outcasts."
Japan is equally afflicted. The
same authority states:
I'm Toxic / was informed by the
head of the Japanese medical DEPART
ment that they had official knowledge
of at least 10000 families in Japan
in which leprosy was known to exist
Experience has shown that it is safe
to multiply the acknowledged numbers
by two or three figures in order tC
get at the actual total 1t will thus
De seen that if we confine our views
to the great lands of the Orient we are
confronted with an appalling mass oil
hopeless suffering among the leDers
of the twentieth century"

MISSIONARIES AND THE SLAVE
TRADE.

On the oath of January, 1879, on the
summit of the hills overlooking the
Arab temples of Quill, four White
Fathers, the first Catholic mission
aries in that region, sent up a cry of
victory on perceiving the blue waters
CT Lake Tanganika glimmering under
the setting sun. Falling on their
knees, they thanked God for having so
safely brought them to the end of
their long journey.
What could they accomplish, these
generous pioneers of the cross, de-
priyed of all human aid, with no
knowledge of the language or of the
native customs, exposed to the more
or less yelled intrigues of sinister adj
venturers, promoters of slave traffic in
all the markets of Zanguebar? Moth
ing by themselves; much with the
grace of Godl
At that period it was calculated
that the slave trade claimed four hum
dred thousand victims on African soil
each year. The dark shadow of slav-
cry extended not only across the Sa-
hara and Soudan, but throughout the
Upper Congo. Livingston spoke thus
regarding his own observations:
When l tried he says, TO describe
the human traffic in the east of Africa,
was careful not to tell the whole
truth, for fear of being accused Of ex-
aggeration: but, to speak freely, the

utter impossibility. The scenes that.

in this traffic, are so revolving that
am constantly seeking to efface them
from my memory. With time, have
