THE CHILDREN'S HOUR.
FOR THE AUTOMOBILES.

Everybody ought to know the legend
of st. Christopher, martyr of the early
Church. His pagan name was Offerus.
Converted by holy hermit he was
baptized Christopher, and as he was a
giant in strength he was assigned to
the task of carrying people, for Gods
sake, over a raging stream in Lycia.
One of the travellers safely carried
across was a child who revealed him
self to the ferryman as the Christ
Child, thus confirming his name as the
Christ bearer In the Middle Ages
there was Brotherhood of ST. Chris
topher in the Tyrol who guided trav-
elers over the Alps. He was especially
venerated in Venice, and his statues
are found at the bridges along the
Rhine. There was a church in Rheims
dedicated to his honor, and now we
have another in Baldwin, Long Island,
the only one hereabouts, where he is
to be venerated as the patron of trav-
elers by automobile, thus adding a
modern trend to the good Saints pre-
negatives.

If the plural of man is always called
men,
Why shouldn't the plural of pan be
called pen?
If 1 speak of a foot and you show me
your feet,
And l give you a boot, would pair be
called beet?
If one is a tooth and a whole set are
teeth,
Why shouldn't the plural of booth be
called beeth?
Then one may be that and three would
be those,
Yet hat in the plural would never be
hose;
And the plural of cat is cats, and not

We speak Of a brother and also of
brethren,
But though we say mother we never
say methren.
Then the masculine pronouns are he,
his and him;

BADGES OF THE APOSTLES.

The painters OF the Middle Ages
used to represent the apostles with
special badges which are generally
symbolic of some incident in their
lives. Andrew was depicted with a
cross, because he was crucified:
Bartholomew with a knife, because
he was fiayed; James the Greater
with pilgrims staff and gourd bot
tie, because he was the patron saint
of pilgrims; James the Less with a
fuller's pole, because he was slain
by Simeon, the fuller, by a blow on
the head with his pole; John with a
cup and winged serpent flying out of
it, in allusion to the tradition that
the apostle was challenged by priest
of Diana to drink a cup of poisoned
wine. John made sign of the cross
on the cup, whereupon Satan, like
dragon, flew from it, and the apostle
drank the cup with safety. Judas was
represented with bag, because he
bore bag and what was put there.
in; Jude with a club, because he was
Killed with that weapon; Mathew with
a Ratchet, because he was slain by
one; Matthias with a battle-axe, be-
cause after having been stoned he was
beheaded; Paul with a sword, because
his head was cut off with one; Peter
with bunch of keys and also clock,
in reference to familiar episodes;
Philip with long staff surmounted
by cross, because he died by being
hung by the neck to tall pillar;
Simon with a saw, because he was

he could pillow as we'll asleep as awake.
What are we going back for?" he
asked, turning around to the old gray
mare.
Keep on" said the gray mare, "or
we shall never get to the bottom and
you'll have the whip at your heels
Very odd indeed" said the young
horse, who thought he had had enough
of it and was not sorry he was coming
to the bottom of the field. Great was
his establishment when Dobbin, just
opening his eyes, again turned and
proceeded at the same pace up the
field again.
How long is this going on?' asked
the young horse.
Dobbin just glanced across the field
as his eyes closed, and he fell asleep
again as he began to calculate how
long it would take to pillow it.
How long will this go on?" he ask
ed turning to the mare.
Keep up, | tell you," she said, cor
you'll have me on your heels"
When the top came and another turn
and the bottom and another turn, the
poor young horse was in despair; he
grew quite dizzy, and was glad, like
Dobbin, to shut his eyes, that he might
get rid of the sight of the same ground
so continually.
"Well,"' he said, when the gears
were taken off, If this is your plow-
ing, / hope to have no more of ii"
But his hopes were in vain, for
many days he ploWed, till he got, not
reconciled to it, but tired of complain
ing of the weary monotonous work.
In the hard winter, when comfort
ably housed in the warm stable, he
cried out to Dobbin, as he was eating
some delicious oats: Il say, Dobbin,
this is better than blowing. Do you
remember that field? / hope / shall
never have anything to do with that
business again. What in the world
could be the use of walking up field
just for the sake of walking down
again? It's enough to make one laugh
to think of it.

AND MARY WENT IN ALONE.

"Come, John, let us go to Church
this morning"
NO, Mary, I'll not go; you will do
for both of us And Mary went alone.
When their baby was baptized
Mary said, Come, John, come with
baby and me to Church" and again
the same old reply, You will do for
both Of us And Mary and the baby
went alone.
Years passed away and many times
the same brief conversation took place
on Sunday mornings. When the
priest asked John one day why he
never attended Church with his wife,
John laughingly said, My wife looks
after the religion in our house and
she will do for both of u.s." And Mary
still went alone.
Then there came a Gay when Mary
took sick. The doctor came and
looked anxious. John was distressed

hard work; he didn't know much
about praying, he hadn't practiced
very hard. Night after night he
watched beside that sick bed. He
loved his wife with all his soul. After
an all night watch John dozed in his
chair at the side Of the bed, and as
he dozed he dreamed, and this is what
he dreamed.
He had died before his wife and at
the beautiful gate of Heaven he wait
ed her coming. At last she came and
he hurried to pass in through the
gates with her he loved so we'll, and
Just then an angel appeared, stopped
John and said, NO, not you, she will
do for both Of you.
And Mary went in alone.

A FABLE.

Put the young horse in plow," said
the farmer, and very much pleased he
was to be in a team with Dobbin and
the gray mare. It was long field,
and gaily he walked across it, his nose
upon Dobbin's launches, having hard
work to keep at so slow pace.
Where are we going nOw?" he
said, when he got to the top. This
is very pleasant"
Back again." said Dobbin.
L What for?" asked the young horse,
rather surprised.
But Dobbin had gone to sleep, for

OUR LAWLESs LANGUAGE.

The following rhymes illustrate
some of the chief difficulties of the
English language which seems so easy
to those who learned it in childhood.
No wonder the foreigners call ours a
lawless tongue:
Well begin with box, and the plural
is boxes;
But the plural of OK should be oxen,
not oXeS.
Then one fowl is a goose, but two are
called geese;
Yet the plural of mouse should never
be meese.

PRIESTS SEE WORLD MOVE BY
PENDULUM.

Several little, boys pressed their
noses close against the glass in the
doors of the Church of Our Lady of
Lourdes, Broadway and Aberdeen
street, Brooklyn, recently and watched,
eager-eyed, the odd movements of the
priests inside.
The elevated Numbered by, trolley
cars changed few feet away and the
r-r-r-r-a-t of pneumatic hammer came
to them deafeningly, but inside the
church all was dusk and quiet, the
outside world but murmur, the cen
ter of attraction bullet-shaped pendu-
lum that hung from the ceiling 80 feet
above.
They clustered about it as it swung
over a packing case, the top of which
was marked in quadrant and lighted
! by three-branched candlestick, hold
ing watches and conversing in whis-
pers as the great weight swung back
and forth. They were proving that
the world does move. For as the
weight swung back and forth it con-
stantly varied from the straight line,
moving so slowly that the eye could
not follow in the direction of the
hands of a clock.
In half hour the line of it's oscil-
lations had moved seven and a half
degrees, and if left undisturbed it
would have completed the circle in a
day.
The experiment, called Foucault's,
after the famous French astronomer
who first demonstrated it in the Pan
theon in Paris in 1851, was performed
by the Rev. Ferdinand Buicheteau.
Eight years ago he demonstrated it in
the same place, and it was viewed by
a number of well-knOwn physicians.
