The Black Hole of Calcutta.

If the prisoners in the famous "blacK
hole had been as well informed as
modern scientists there would have
been no such death rate as actually
occurred. The men died OF suffoca-
ion and panic. Modern discovery has
shown that air can support life IL It be
kept in motion. even though it has but
/ small amount of oxygen in it.
If the prisoners in the notorious dun
geon had therefore formed a mass and
revolved around and around at pace
that would have been easy to keep up
not only would the contained air have
been stirred up. but each man on the
outside of the revolving mass would
have had his face presented periodicals.

AN APT ILLUSTRATION
SENATOR BRYAN OF FLORIDA
SHOWS DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
THE X. OF c. AND THE. G. or /.

The difference between the Guar
dians of Liberty and the knights of
Columbus was emphasized some time
age by Senator Nathan P. Bryan in a
speech in South Florida.
The senator was addressing a
crowd in which there were a large
number of Gardens and Knights.
He was exposing the former when he
interrupted by an auditor, who said :
Senator, please tell us the differ
ence between the Guardians of Lib
erty and the Knights of Columbus
Il will do that" said the senator
All who are in the audience who are
members of the Guardians of Liberty
will please stand up"
Not a man arose and the silence
was painful.
Now said the senator, "all in the
audience who are members of the
Knights of Columbus please arise
Several men arose, and the senator
said That's the difference ont
crowd is ashamed of their organiza
tion, while the other is proud o
theirs"
The senator's explanation made ;
decided hit, and covers the bill" thor
oughly.

THE LAYMEN'S RETREAT

have it commended to the prayers OF
the people in the various parish
churches. AS nothing of the kind,
he continues, succeeds without the
prayers of the good Sisters, be sure
to enlist their sympathy in the mat
ter" We earnestly request pastors
and Sisters to comply with this pious
wish. We know that the seminarians,
when notified, will gladly accede to
it.
Abundant grace is sure to come
from those prayers; but grace calls
for cooperation. Let all our readers,
then, who are interested in this great
work, become apostles of it. Let
those especially who attended former
retreats speak to their friends about
it and urge them to come. Let them
tell of the peace and joy of soul, the
broader vision of life and duty, the
marvellous insight into the invisible
things of God, that await all who have
the wisdom and courage to seek those
priceless gifts in the silent, prayerful
communing of the soul with God in
the coming weekend retreat.

HoMEs-INTEREsTING HISTORY
OF THE COMMUNITY.
written for The Catholic Bulletin by
{. J. A.

The old ST. Louis Cathedral in New
Orleans faces Jackson Square, for
nearly two hundred years closely
identified with the history of the
city, and at one time around which
the social and commercial life of the
city concentrated. Between the
Cathedral and the Cabildo, to its
right, trails Orleans Alley, stone
paved, with children always playing
in it's shadows, and at the farther end
1T looks into pretty garden at the
back of the Cathedral. AS it joins
Royal Street it peeps into a queer
little shop window where prayer
books, and rosaries and sacred
statuary are kept for the faithful,
and then it widens into street and
becomes Orleans street, but little
wider than the alley. Half way up
| the block is the massive entrance to
the Convent of the Holy Family.
Time has wrought changes in that
once gay and noisy quarter. Away
back in the early days of the century
the music lovers of old French New
Orleans used to gather at the Theatre
Orleans to hang entranced on the
soaring strains of singers who are
but memory now. This block is as
sociated in the minds of old residents
| of the city with the quadroon balls
of the olden time, and all the merry
making that drew together the Creole
merrymakers of the days long ago
The song and the singers have passed
on their way; the dancers have done
with dancing. The great doors of the
| old Theatre Orleans now open to LEI
! the Sisters pass in and out in theil
sombre clothing, and the dance hal
of the bal masques is part of the con
vent The broad stairway that les

LAKE JOHANNA SUMMER CAMP

mentally, morally, and socially; it
pleases the boy because it provides
him with sport, out-of-door life, adj
venture, and wholesome sustenance
The camp is not devoted exclusive
ly to physical pursuits; mental de-
velopment is also within the reach of
those who desire it. Boys who through
any circumstances, have failed in all
or any portion of their studies dur
ing the past year will receive private,
daily instruction until the deficiency
is satisfactorily repaired. This in
struction will be given free of charge.
A fairly comprehensive library of ex-
cellent literature is an additional
feature of the camp. To this library
the boys will have access at specified
times. The constant presence Of a
priest renders the religious side of
camp life absolutely secure. In fact,
while the boy enjoys all the advan-
tages of outdoor life and sport, his
mental and moral interests are ever
a matter of deep concern to the
authorities of Lake Johanna Summer
Camp.
The camp is open to all boys over
the age of ten. If younger boys seek
admission they will constitute a minor
division, and be subject to separate
rule and regulation Boys must be
equipped with one old suit two blan-
kets, one table knife and fork, soap,
towels, bathing suit, etc.
The charges are six (6) dollars per
week. A reasonable reduction will be
made in the case of two or more
brothers. No refund will be allowed
when boy renders himself undesir-
able and is requested to withdraw.
Sunday is visiting day. To reach
the camp, follow the Smelling Avenue
road from st. Paul. A camp auto
mobile will be at the service of the
boys at all times for transportation.

COLO RED SISTERS OF new ORLEANS

by the Sisterhood Of the Holy Family,
by which it was cbnverted into a
convent. The Sisterhood was or
ganized expressly to work among the
colored women whose attendance at
the "Quadroon" balls had given them
their i'll repute, and it was by a
curiously dramatic turn of fortunes
that the nuns were enabled to oc-
cupy the desecrated precincts Of the
old dance house and redeem it to
nobler uses. The old ball room, now
used as community room by the
Sisters, is shown to visitors. 1t has
floor of solid cypress three inches
thick, said to have been the finest
dancing-foor in the world.
The motherhouse and novitiate of
the only other order for colored
women in the United States is located
in the city of Baltimore. The con-
went in New Orleans was founded in
1912 by three women who had the
encouragement of the Church in their
venture. First in small house in
another quarter of the city, then in a
larger and better place, and finally in
the building on Orleans Street.
Seventy-1ve years Of patient work on
the part of these godly women, and
the struggle has not been in vain.
There are branch houses in Baton
Rouge, Opelousas, Donaldsonville,
Galveston and Honduras and the
Sisterhood of the Holy Family has
control of the Home for the Aged, on
Tonti Street, founded by Thomy
Lafon, and of an asylum for orphan
boys on st. Peter Street, and of st.
John Berchman's Asylum for Orphan
girls at the corner Of Orleans and
Bourbon Streets Besides this they
have most successfully carried out
what has always been theSmain design
of the Sisterhood-the education of
young girls of their race and st.
Mary's Academy, which is conducted
by them, gives thorough education
to the children of the more prosperous
among the negroes.
All these institutions are not sup.
!ported without great labor and much
planning and contriving, and the Sis
ters are always up and doing. An
especial source of income is the maxi
ling of yestfnents for the priests and
altar cloths for the churches. There
are Sisters who go about the city, each
holding by the hand an orphan from
the asylum, visiting every place OF
business, every stall in the markets,
every fruit-stand at the street corners
and asking for help. However hard
| the times or however poor the mer-
chants, there are few who refuse to
give something.
i The lives Of the Sisters flow quietly
h enough with their daily round OF
\ duties, but they are known as one
of the most deyout of the Sisterhoods.
/ In the city where they dwell it IA
II believed by many that there is q
peculiar efficacy in their prayers, and
J the great doors open daily to admit
4 fair ladies, not all of them Catholics,
II who press the dusky hands in theirs
land ask them to pray for some
cherished blessing for which they
long.

FAMOUS ABBEY RESTORED
ENGLISH AuGusTINlAN MoNAs-
Terry WAS FOUNDED $50 YEARS
AGo-NoW OWNED BY A CATH.
oLic.

A notable restoration has been eff
fected at the famous Abbey of Born
ham, in Bucks, Eng. This Augustinian
house was founded $50 years ago and
after the dissolution of the monas-
teries,. when the nuns were driven
forth, it fell into decay. Finally the
chapel almost completely crumbled
to ruins, the abbey buildings became
a farm, and the chapter-house barn.
Two years ago the property passed
into the hands of a gentleman who
is as clever an architect and anti
quarian as he is a good Catholic. He
set to work to restore the abbey to
something of its original appearance
with such success that three weeks ago
it was formally handed over to com
munity of nine Augustinian nuns
by curious coincidence the same
number as those who were expelled
IL the reign q Henry VII.
