CAVALRY HORSES.

Soldiers who have the management
of war horses know how needful it
is for them to be gentle and obedient.
for vicious or timid horse might
cause no end of trouble i'm a battle;
and this is SO thoroughly understood
nowadays in training army horses
that only kindness is allowed to be
used, says Mrs. Florence II. Sucklin.
in her lecture on THE Horse" 1T
is rare, indeed, to hear of vicious
trooper, while soldier who ID found
beating or bullying his horse is very
likely to be summarily reprimanded.
This more reasonable and humane
management is a saving to the coun-
try, as the horses last longer and
there are fewer accidents. AS. soon
as horse is FESTIVE, inquiries are
made into the character of its rider.

SUCCESS.

A great many boys and girls, as
well as men and women, are often
heard to say, Il would certainly do
this. and that and the other thing
If l only had the money! writes
Agnes Kenning, in Extension Maya
zine.
Do not imagine that if you have
money you are going to- do anything
great for mankind, if you did not do
it before. And so, if you cherish a
dream of becoming rich and building
a hospital for the poor, or founding
an orphan asylum, or feeding the hun
CRY, the probability is that none OF
these beautiful thoughts will ever be
carried into execution. 1t is poverty
that brings out the goodness in most
people. All thee great doors for the
human race recognized this.
The Christ-Child lived poor life;
he had nowhere to lay His Head, and,
too, Christ laid down poverty as a
condition for following Him closely.
All of the saints, especially those
founders of religious Orders, that
have done so much to alleviate the
sufferings of mankind, recognized that
all good things are born in poverty.
And, too, from purely human point
of view, money does not bring sue
cess. 1t brings sorrow and scandal
and notoriety, but it does not bring
success. For success means getting
the best out of life, in the right sense.
The great masters of the ages, had
they not felt the bitter stings of pow
erty, would never have produced the
great poems, the wonderful dramas
and beautiful operas they have left
to the world. 1t was their poverty,
bitter, painful poverty, that brought
them forth.
And so, dear boys and girls who are
reading this, do not make up your
mind that you are going to grow up
and be rich. Make up your mind that
you are going to grow up and give
God and your fellow-men the best
that is in you. 1t is true that you
may not have much to give, but new
ertheless, give. First, of all give to
God. Give Him your heart and soul;
then give to your parents, give them
your love and respect; and then give
to your fellowmen, give them your
service. Do not refuse to do good
act to anyone. Remember you may
not have a chance to do the same
tomorrow, and life, which is only a
few days and few tomorrows, will
soon be over Then it will be mat
ter of small moment to you whether
or not you leave gold for your friends
and relatives to fight over.
And so now begin to live success
full 1ffeAa life that. is honest and
pure, life that is blessed with work
we'll done, life that is for the pur-
chasing of what God intended it
should purchase-eternal happiness.

THE ARTISTS ROSARY.

One of the greatest artists of the
last century was the celebrated com.
poser Gluck. He learned the first
elements of his art under the vaulted
arches of a cathedral, where he was
a chorister in his young days. He
was a slender, pale, delicate child,
says the historian of his life. His
parents were poor and they came one
day to present him to the provost of
the Cathedral of Vienna in order that
he might be admitted among the chill
dren who sing the praises of the Lord.
His voice was SO beautiful, it had.
such purity Of expression, that when
he sang the Cathedral was filled with
an immense crowd who listened to
him with delight. He grew up in his
art and in piety as well, and the har.
monies of the organ moved him at
times to tears.
Toward evening when the setting
sun was scattering over the marble
floor patches of green and gold
from the stained glass windows, the
SAllu, pIOoItdlC Ut1OTO INC 1dD6T-
nacle, prayed and meditated. One
day he sang better even than was
his wont some anthem to the Blessed
Virgin Mary, and one of the religious
brethren drew near to him greatly
moved. Pressing him to his heart,
My son" she said, You have made
me shed today the most joyful tears
Of my life. / have nothing to give
you as a pledge of my delight, but
take this pair of beads, keep it in
memory of Brother Anselm; recite it
daily, at least in part and if you are
faithful to this pious practice you will
be as dear to God as Il is clear you
will one day be great among men,
Gluck was faithful to his beads.
His family was too poor to have him
continue his studies, but one evening
a knock came to the door of their
modest dwelling. It was a celebrated
master who had been commissioned

AN AeNosrIc's CONFESSION.

The hopelessness of the Rational
istic creed, devoid as it is of one
crumb of comfort or of a single con-
soling thought for the bereaved or
troubled human heart, has been borne
in upon one of the leading agnostics
of England, Mr.. Horace w. Bottom
ley, the talented editor of John Bull.
Mr.. Bottomley's change of heart and
mind has been brought about by re-
Election on the horrors and tragedies
Of the war. He describes his con-
version in the following passage in
recent issue of his paper: Now, to-
day, in my fifty-fifth year, and after
about as strenuous a life as any man
of that age has ever lived, believe in
God and in the Immortality Of the
soul Of man. The great world war
has done it. In war there is mighty
alchemy, transmitting the base metal
of human experience into the pure
currency of faith. = 81. Pure ra-
tionalism, however, scientific has no
word of comfort for weary watchers
or of solace for human hearts. =
And now have come to believe that
every noble aspiration, every worthy
act and thought-every high resolve
is conserved Immortality. 1 believe
that God has a Divine purpose for not
only the blood of heroes, but equally
for the tears of woman, the quivering
anguish of the human heart and the
sacrificing effort of unselfish aim"
1t has been confidently predicted that
one of the effects of the war will be
to give an added vogue to irreligion
and infidelity-and in many direc-
tions this will doubtless be the case.
But there will be compensations;
and the experience of Mr.. Bottomley
will doubtless find a parallel in num-
bers of cases amongst the great rank
and file of unbelievers.
I In this connection is is significant to
note that even apart from the
thought-compelling influence of an ap-
palling war distinguished agnostics
have felt keenly the difficulties of
their belief-or unbelief-and have
experienced within the depths of their
being the persistent protest of a
something in their nature that re-
belled against the thought of COM
plete extinction after death. In one
of the later published lives of Hulk
ley a letter to Mr.. John Morley is
quoted, in which the great naturalist
says: ct is a curious thing that
find my dislike to the thought of ex.
tinctiOn increasing as I get older and
nearer the goal. 1t flashes across me
at all times with a sort of horror that
in 1900 l shall probably know nc
more of what is going on than did
in 1900. l had sooner be in hell a
good deal-at any rate, in one of the
upper circles, where the climate and
company are not too trying. l won
der if you are plagued in this way?'
That is tremendous and far-reach
ing admission for a great and life
long apostle of agnosticism to make

PERSONAL FAULTS.

Many of us who deem our lives ir-
reproachable are just as guilty of
murder and other sins as though We
thrust a knife through some one or de-
liberately injured him otherwise.
The unconscious defects in our
character and dispositions, our little
whims, our pet theories and daring
hobbies, when ridden to death, be-
come as gall and wormwood to those
about us, frequently throttling their
own ambitions, because we sour or
rouse them malevolently until they
die in spirit and never ripen in fine
thought and action as they might do
otherwise.
People often die in spirit long be-
fore their bodies do, and all because
we crush their ambitions by our bit
ing sarcasm, bursts of temper or
whitening scorn.

THE CHILDREN'S HOUR.
IN THE LooKING-eLAss.

John Brown was very proud and
happy. He was member of his first
baseball club-not little one, but a
regular club with a. name. The boys
thought and talked a long time about
that name. 1t was so hard to get one
that was good enough. Someone pro-
posed the name "The Giants but as
the club was made up of the smallest
players in the town, they decided not
to use that name, for fear that some
one would make fun of them.
But never mind; Wen play as well
as the Giants some day" said the
little captain, who was full of cour-
age.
At last they decided on. STAR and
each player was to wear the name in
red letters on gray sweater. The
day that the letters came John Brown
ran home in great excitement. Shout
ing with joy, he ran upstairs.
Where is mother?' he asked.
Mother has gone away to spend
the day" answered his sister Jessie.
"Oh, pshaw! Just when | want
her most!' sighed John. Z don't

CONVENT CLOTHES.

The wisdom of convent rules in re-
all first class private schools. The
fashion writer of the New York Sun
says no matter how chic and sophisti-
Gated the girlish frock, it's maker, If
an artist, gives it demurely modest
neck line, and anything else is in
execrable taste, although many girls
do not seem to grasp this fact and
some manufacturers, particularly in
the matter of blouses, have catered to
the exhibitions one sees on every side
in this land of over-precocious daugh-
tiers and over-indulgent mothers.
1t is an American habit to chant
praise of all things American. but
even the most patriotic of critics, if
honest, must admit large majority
of the girls one sees-on Fifth ave-
nue., let us say-are ridiculously and
atrociously dressed.
Luckily, appreciation of the failing
| has spread and much effort is being
made toward the curing of the evil
and the establishing of better stand
ards and ideals. Almost all of the
high class boarding schools for girls
insist upon proper dress and preach
the doctrines of good taste in dress
early and late. In some of the most
fashionable and popular of these
schools the insistence takes the form
of ironclad rulings and subdued par
ents order clothes made after school
rules, while rebellious, but helpless
girls assume girlish simplicity
whether they have it or not.
Skirts must not be longer or short
er than this, must not be wider than
that, that conform to school children's
needs. Collars may be so low and no
lower. Hat brims must not exceed
so many inches in width. Hat crowns
and trimmings must not soar beyond
a prescribed limit. A frock too elab-
crate or eccentric is calmly con-
demned and may not be worn. An
extreme mode of hair dressing is out
of the question.
The system seems drastic, but it is
justified by results, and few years
of such drilling are. likely to leave
an imprint upon even the most eff
fulgent taste and impress even the
most barbaric of nouveau richie spend
ers. One spoiled daughter of multi
millionaire parents without back
ground of social training entered a
school in New England last fall and
carried with her wardrobe calcu-
lated to impress the daughters of So
cial lights who we're to be among her
schoolmates. A week after her ar
rival she wrote home:
'Dear Mother: My clothes are
packed in my trunk and my jewelry
is locked in the safe Miss-
bought me school dress. 1t will be
on the bill. Please send me money
to get two lingerie dresses without
much trimming for evening and a
plain suit and some school clothes.

briskly. Mother says that l can sew

little letters. See, here they are; and

Jessie was very fond of her brother,
and so she laid aside her fascinating
story, got out her workbasket, and
basted all the letters firmly into
place. She held the sweater up in
front of her, and looked in the glass
to see the effect
yes; they're all right" she said;
so I'll sew them on without waiting
for John. Won't he be pleased"
Jessie sewed steadily away until
all the letters were fast. Then she
laid the sweater on Johns bed and
went back to her book. She was so
interested that she did not hear the
front door open and someone run
rapidly upstairs. But she did hear,
minute later, Johns door banged
violently, and his angry voice shouted:
You're a mean thing, Jessie
Brown; and I'll never forgive you!"
Why, John, what is the matter?

to gather up in Italy the musical
works of Palestrina. He took the
boy with him, and promised to finish
his course of instruction. From that
time on, Gluck made great strides in
the path of art, but he was always
faithful to his practices of piety.
At the court of Vienna in the midst
of amusement, when evening fell,
men saw the illustrious maestro with

ARNOLD, ARBITRATOR.

Every American school child has
heard tell of Benedict Arnold, the
arbitrator of the Revolution. But
not every American school child has
heard of Arnold's intense and per-
sistent hatred of everything Catholic,
says Catholic Home. The reason of
this latter is not far to- seek. The
case of Arnold is but one of the in
Vulnerable cases of Suppressed
Veri," suppression of truth, to be
found in American school books
whenever the honor of the Catholic
Church is involved. Take, for in
stance, the proclamations issued by
Arnold after he had fled to the ranks
of the enemy, and addressed from
within the British lines to the officers
and soldiers of the Continental army
to withdraw them from from their
allegiance to Congress.
The usual course for school histor-
ians is to follow Bancroft and simply
characterize the proclamations as in
solent," filled with effrontery," etc.,
whereas the fact is that besides being
all this, these proclamations were in
reality most violent appeals to anti
Catholic prejudice and bigotry.
What is to be gained, he asks the
patriots, by being successful in the
struggle, when once you establish re-
ligious equality before the law, and
are no longer backed up by the penal
laws of England?
