Juot Like tho Real Ones.

Artificial ears are so skillfully made
that they may with difficulty be dis.
tinguished from natural ones. When
the person who has lost an ear applies
to the manufacturer for substitute.
there is made mold of the remaining
ear. If there be left any part of the
other, mold of that part also must
be taken to assist in the fitting of the
artificial. Manufacturers assert that
no two ears are alike, and that it takes
a skillful workman to prepare an ear
from the mold or molds.
When finished the new ear is pasted
on the stump, or simply set in the DO
sition of the lost ear. 1t is really only
the first artificial ear that is expen.
sive, the chief cost pertaining to the
making of the mold. Vulcanized rub
Der, which can be bent and twisted,
has been found to constitute the best
material for the making of artificial
ears.

Revenue and expenditure balance

THE MARKS OF THE CHURCH..

Jesus Christ founded a visible, re
ligious society which He authorized
to teach, govern and sanctify all men
and to which all men are obliged tC

Church that they are to be instructed
and directed in those things which
pertain to eternal salvation, says the
Brooklyn Tablet" If we remember
that Christ wished to save all man
kind, with no single exception; and
that He selected the institution of the
Church as the means by which His
well might be fulfilled. we shall
readily understand how essential il
is that the Church have some marks
or signs, by which men may easily
recognize it as the true Church OF

A SAINT FOR THE WEEK,
ST. AL5AN, MARTYR.


Alban was a citizen of Verulam;
man of distinction, who, himself a
pagan, had been to Rome in quest of
knowledge. When the last great per-.
secution, under Diocletian, broke out,
Alban sheltered in his house priest
whoswas fleeing from his enemies. He
was so affected by the piety of his
guest that he eagerly received his
teaching and became a Christian. In
a few days it was known that the priest
lay concealed in Adams house, and
soldiers were sent to seize Him.
Thereupon Alban put on the priests
garments, and gave himself UP to the
soldiers in his stead. The Judge was
irritated at the escape of the priest,
and threatened Alban with the extrem-
est torments if he persisted in forsak-
ing the false gods of Rome. The Saint
replied firmly that he was a Christian,
and would not burn incense to the
gods; and was condemned to be first
tortured, and then beheaded. AS he
was lead to the place of execution, an
eminence outside of the town, a mir
acle wrought by the Saint SO touched
the heart of the exeeutioner that he
flung down his sword, threw himself
at Adams feet, ayowing himself a
Christian, and begging to suffer either
for him or with him. Other miracles
marked the death of the proto-martyr
of England. When the persecution
ceased church was built on the spot ;;
and later on, the noble abbey of ST.
Adams was founded by King Offa.
When Alban was brought before the
Judge, he was asked, "Of what family
are you?" The Saint answered, "That
is matter of little concern: know that
am a Christian" The judge per-
sisted; and the Saint said, 81 was
called Alban by my parents, and con-
stantly adore and worship the living
and true God Who created all things
Then the judge said,s IF you wish to
enjoy the blessedness of, eternal life,
delay not to sacrifice to the great
gods" Alban replied, These sacri-
fees are offered to demons, and can
bring no help, or answer to the desire
of the heart. They who offer them re-
ceive as reward the undying punish
ment of hell"

NUPTIALS OF OUR FIRST
- PARENTS.

The word ''matrimony" is derived
from two Latin words, "matris minus"
signifying the office of q mother, be-
cause, as st. Augustine puts it, "A
woman weds in order to become a
mother" Matrimony, says 1.-THE
Catholic Universe" is the oldest and
most important of divine institutions
that respect the well-being and prop
agation of the human race. 1t may be
considered both as a natural contract
and as q sacrament. Before we can
properly and fully understand matri-
mony as a sacrament, it is necessary
to have clear, definite and precise no.
tion of it as a natural contract, for it
is on this contract that the sacrament
is founded. Neither Adam, nor Moses,
nor an angel, nor prophet instituted
marriage. 1t had God for it's author,
and thus even as natural contract,
differed from all other human associa-
tions for earthly purposes. Here is
the account which scripture gives of
the matrimonial contract: THE Lord
God cast a deep sleep upon Adam;
and when he was fast asleep, He took
one of his ribs and filed up flesh for
it. And the Lord God built the rib
which he took from Adam into wom-
an, and brought her to Adam. And
Adam said: This now is bone of my
bone and flesh of my flesh: she shall
he called woman, because she was TAX
en- out of man. Wherefore man shall
leave father and mother and shall
cleave to his wife, and they shall be
two in one flesh. And God blest them.
saying: Increase, and multiply, and
fill the EARTH
From this scriptural account we see
that God himself instituted matrimony
by creating woman, by forming her
from one of Adams ribs, by bringing
and introducing her to him. by propog-

THE GREATEST AND THE FIRST.

ST. Matthew tells us that a doctor
of the law said to Jesus: Master,
which is the great commandment of
the law" Jesus said to him: Thou
shalt love the Lord thy God with thy
whole heart, and with thy whole soul,
and with thy whole mind. This is the
greatest and the first commandment"
Putting it then at the lowest, says
Father Faber, and setting aside such
heroic manifestations of love as are
either the ornaments of a devout
piety or the counsels of a high per-
lection, what is everyone bound to by
this precept, as soon as he attains
the use of reason? He is bound to
love God better than anything else:
he is bound to put higher value upon
God than anything else; he is bound
TO obey all the will of God about him
as far as he knows it; and he is
bound at least In general intention, to
direct all his actions to the glory of
God. In his heart nothing can be
allowed to come into competition
with God. His soul must be en-
crossed by nothing short of God His
mind must esteem nothing at all in
comparison with God; and all his
strength must be at Gods service in
a way in which it is not at the serv,
ice of anything else. Whatever he
falls short of all this from the first
day of reasons dawn to the closing
hour of life, he must repair with a
loving sorrow based on Gods eternal
goodness. This is of simple obliga.
ton to the whole world, through the
populous breadth of Asia, in the
crowded coasts and vast cities of
Europe, across Africa from one ocean
80 the other, from the northernmost
dwelling of America to where its ex.
tTeme headlands face the Antarctic
ice, and in every island of the sea and
palm-crowned coral reef, both great
and small. 1t is as much of obliga.
tion, more so if it could be more, as

fer into His eternal joy, who has not
kept this precept, or by sorrow won

THE LAMP OF THE SANCTUARY

In honor of Jesus Christ, a lamp
burns perpetually before the altar.
The Christian soul longs to remain
in constant alteration at the feet of
Our Lord, there to be consumed by
gratitude and love. In heaven alone
will this happiness be given to us,
but here below, as an expression of
our devont desires, we place lamp
in the sanctuary to take our place.
In this little light st. Augustine
shows lis an image of the three
Christian virtues. Its clearness is
faith, which enlightens our mind; it's
warmth is love, which fills our heart;
it's flame, which, trembling and agi-
tated, mounts upward till it finds rest
in its centre, is hope, with it's aspira-
tions toward heaven and it's troubles
outside of God..--Cardinal Wiseman.
The Lamp of the Sanctuary repre-
sents Jesus Christ risen and glorious,
source of all lights and all charity in
the Church. Nothing is commoner in
Holy Writ than the comparison of
oil to mercy and in the sanctuary
ramp, He Who is infinite mercy pre-
sents Himself to us under the same
emblem. The Church herself is also
symbolized by the oil which is being
perpetually consumed before the
Eucharistic God. That oil is eX-
tracted from olives, and in the Bible
the olive tree is a figure of the
Church.
The evergreen of the tree may in
deed we'll suggest the perennial Vigor
of the ChuE-5 militant, and the shade
i provides tor the traveller CORE
spends to the Church'S care for her
children. In very truth the Church,
the Spouse of Christ, really present
in the tabernacle before which the
sanctuary lamp is ever glowing, is
"as a fair olive tee in. the plains, "
bringing to us her children the pre-
cious oil of mercy.
