Money In China and Egypt.

Coins were made IN China so long
ago, it is said, as the year 225O B. c.,
but they could not have been other
than portions of metal cast into porta-
BILE shape such rs were all the earliest
moneys. In Egypt, the cradle of civil,
cation and commerce, strange to say.
there was no imperial coinage. Copper,
silver and gold were used, but they
were manufactured into Jumps. shaped
sometimes like brick, and in the case of
gold and silver were nodded in. rings.
like the ancient Irish money of ten
centuries ago. 1t appears almost in
conceivable that a people who created
the pyramids and erected such mag
nifccnt temples should have been en-
tirely ignorant of coins. Yet it is Ger.
tain from the statements of Herodo-
tus that such was the case The first
coinage of money in Egypt was not
struck to assist the Egyptians them
selves in their commercial dealings,
but. rather, because the foreign mer-
chants with whom they traded, the
Greeks and the Phoenicians, demand
ed some medium which would have the
guarantee Of its value apparent on II
and which would circulate for that
value.

The New York Herald of Sunday has
a picture of "super-six" automobile
which was driven by Ralph Milford and
two others across the continent from
San Francisco 10 New York City in five
days, three hours and thirty one minutes.
This car will be back number as soon
as some better machine beats its time.
All thing quickly pass in these swiftly
changing and progressive times, but the
trip OF the "super-six" goes to indicate
that the hard road may soon take the
place of the steel rail to greater extent
than at present in getting people to
where they want to go. 1t is an argu-
ment for good hard roads in Bossier
Parish, just as it is anywhere else in the
world. The hard reads cut down the
number of hours between the producer
and his market town, save wear and tear
of his team and wagon and increase the
load he may haul at a trip. They mean
Il 5-cent increacc in taxation and 81 less
expense. Vote for METER roads and
more of them.

The Lake Charles American Press is
critical of the Police Jury Of Calcasieu
Parish because of the too numerous
secret sessions Of that body. The secret
session has been dignified by the United
States Senate, which has a great deal
to do with our foreign relations-mat-
tcrs which cannot well be publicly dis
cussed. Such matters are generally con-
sidcred by the Senate in Executive
session." another name for secret ses-
sion. Some lesser bodies have copied
the executive session idea from the
national Senate without the Senate
excuse for secrecy, and these bodies con-
slider some of the most important fnan-
cial affairs Of their constituents in secret
sessions and dispose of the public money
behind closed doors. 1t is a bad prac-
tice and the American-Pres is right in
attacking it. The business of the public
should be discussed and acted upon in
public, and all of the people not present
at the sessions of the police juries OF
each parish in Louisiana should be
informed by publication in the parish
newspapers OF every detail of the pro-
cccdi g.. 1t is SO done in Bossier Parish
and we verify thought the same oper
discussion and publicity prevailed in al
the parishes.

YOTrTH AND EIGHT HOURS.

The Youths Companion uses a very
Youthful argument against the eight
hour law recently passed by Congress
favofing the railroad employees. ltsays:
"The railroad workers are convinced
that their cause was good; but they
were ill-advi5ed to use the threat OF
force (strike) rather than the arguments
of reason in its support, for they have
set a precedent that may hereafter be
invoked by causes that are wholly dam
gcrous and evil and they have given the
nation reason..to doubt neutrality-suspicious.
and strength of its Government.
Ever since the Children of Israel struck
for shorter hours, more fleshpots and
more straw for the making of bricks the
contest between capital and labor has
been conducted along the lines OF the
contest just settled by the Intervention
of Congress. Reasons -thatsdo not ap-
peal to capitals interest had just as well
be directed to the hardened heart OF
Pharaoh The cause of the railroad
men was good or bad, as you view it,
but the ability to back their contentious
up with force Ga 5trike) won for the rail-
road workers and not the goodness OF
their cause. There is no such thing as
kindly interest in horse trade or in the
marketing Of cotton seed; nor is there
a spark of sentiment that properly
enters into the selling Of days labor
to a railroad. The railroad will not
threaten force if you argue gently with
it the reasons why your cotton or pea
nuts should be hauled for lower tariff
this season than last. The Government,
will order lower rate or there will be
no lower rate unless the shipper car
show a lower tariff to be to the rail-
roads financial advantage. The railroad
will lea;c your cotton and your cotton
seed and peanuts to rot in the fields ant
shed not a tear.

Father Cremin and Father Waldron
desire to thank the pastors and people
of the different parishes visited dur.
ing the summer for the cordial recep.
tion accorded them and their mission
and for the generous contributions
given, through them, to the fund for
the adornment of shrine in the new
Cathedral in honor of Ireland's patron
saint. The people of Irish birth or
extraction, to whom the appeal was
specially directed, deemed it a relig-
ious duty to do what they could to
make the chapel of their beloved
Patron one of the brightest jewels in
the coronet of national shrines
destined to encircle the spacious
sanctuary of the new Cathedral,
whence it will preach to all the virtue
and fidelity of the Irish race to the
teaching of the great Saint whose
apostolic zeal planted the seed of
Christianity deep in Irish hearts and
whose prayers procured the abundant
harvest of knowledge and virtue
which has been the Towering of re-
lipiOn in the Emerald TSla
1t will be interesting to our readers
to learn that through the exertions of
Father Cremin and Father Waldron
the fund for the completion of ST..
Patrick's chapel has been increased
by nearly $4,000 during the summer
months, bringing the grand total up to
about $4,000, or more than, half the
amount required.
If the names of any contributors
were omitted in the list published in
The Catholic Bulletin, or the amounts
of their contributions incorrectly
stated, we shall be glad to rectify the
error as soon as it is called to our
attention.
If any of our readers who have not
been called upon by either of the
solicitors desire to contribute to the
fund, we shall be very glad to acknowl-
edge their donations through The
Catholic Bulletin and to turn over the
amount to the treasurer. We pre-
sume there are many who desire to
share in the spiritual favors accruing
to those who contribute to this good
work and we will cheerfully under
take to act as intermediary in for
warding their donations to the official
custodian of the fund.

UNIQUE PENITEHTIAL PARADE
WELLINGTON PUNISHED REGI-
MENT THAT SACKED
CONVENT. =

A notable example of the discipline
enforced by an Irish General more
than hundred years ago, on his sol
diers in war time, has just been
brought into prominence by the con-
clusion of penance imposed on the
twelve Lancers 104 years ago by the
Duke of Wellington for sacking mon
astery in Spain in the Peninsular wars.
The twelfth Lancers, having camped
near famous monastery, broke into
the cellars and smashed and drank a.
large portion of their contents. 1t so
happened that the Iron Duke, not a
Catholic, remember, came along as
the regiment was at the height of its
debauch. He ordered the soldiers out,
gathered the monks together, took
note Of their complaints and demand
ed the cellerer to tell him the number
Of bottles consumed and destroyed.
This the good lay brother put at 104.
The Duke then ordained that once a
year for 104 years the regiment
should do parade of penance on the
anniversary of their misdemeanor.
/ The regulation was strictly carried
out. The time appointed came to an.
| end recently when the Lancers, who
have fulfilled their obligation even
during the stress of the present war.
made their last penitential evening
parade and celebrated the occasion by
. glorious charge.

The Island of Mauritius, of which
the Right Reverend John Murphy, C..
S. Sp., was lately consecrated Bishop,

Ocean, off the eastern coast of NADIA

the beginning of the last century it
was ceded to the English. 1t is large

equator and has population of about
40O, 900 inhabitants, chiefly Europeans
of French and British origin, and mix

PLANS ENDOWMENT FUND FOR
ORIGINAL RESEARCH.

Mrs. Jeanette c. Murphy, widow of
DR.. John B. Murphy, is planning to
make for the famous surgeon a me-
mortal that she thinks he would ap-
preciate.
The memorial is to be an endow-
ment fund of approximately half a
million dollars, to be used for original
research in medicine and surgery.
Mrs. Murphy has not decided upon
the exact purpose and amount of the
fund. and will not so decide until phys
icians and surgeons who are also con-
templating the erection of a memorial
to DR.. Murphy, and the county board
of Cook county, H., which plans to
make room at the county hospital for
a Murphy Research Laboratory, $
have completed their plans.
Mrs. Murphy may contribute to the
laboratory endowment fund If such. a
fund is created, or she may decide tc
carry out her own plans,
