hey from Monastir, and who came in
with the first heavy snowfall, strongly
advised me to abandon my plan of
spending the winter in the tundra we
should find no gold there-certainly
not in the winter, at any rate-so that

l took in. Indeed. we should probably
return-if we did return-diminished

When the first Tungus-those who
had made their camps for the winter
fairly near the village-began to come
in for supplies. made haste to begin
negotiations for sledges and reindeer
for the journey. 1t was difficult to
make them understand what exactly I
wished to do.
But at last found a man to whom |
was able to make it clear that wished

The fungus are nOmad reindeer
breeders, and the conditions of their
life as such make it necessary for
each family to live at a comfortable
distance from its nearest neighbors.
A reindeer herd in it's search for moss
ranges over large extent of territory,
so that the distance between two en-
campments is hardly less than fifty, |
and may be as much as one hundred

ono or two tents of shape and con-

METHODS or MANAGING MIND
Psychoiooy and Its Effects Will Be
Found Well Worth Anyones
Patient Study.

Despite the difficult look OF the
word, psychology is most interest
ing and intensely fascinating subject.
| Briefly, it is the science which deals
| with the Extraordinary effect OF the
mind on the body. says London An
| SWerS
To make matters clearer. here Is
simple instance of ordinary psychoiog-
ical effect. You are cycling. and come
to a long, steep hill. 1T you let your
eyes dwell on the hill and it's length
| feeling OF depression and discourage
ment at once affects you. That is
communicated to the body. which in
| stantly tires and loses energy.
The hill. sight. mind, muscles
there's the psychological sequence
But if you keep your eyes fixed on
the road just ahead and pedal on that
strange tired out" feeling doesn't
come. It's quite weird.
Soldiers. tired to the point OF ex-
haustion. will revive and march with
energy If the band plays.
Why do we prefer twisting road
for long walk in preference to one
which, il shorter, stretches out like
an endless ribbon straight in front OF
us? To avoid the psychological de-
preston of spirits which the long,
straight road gives.
Now you can see that study of
psychological effects is practical and
useful.
An interesting example of being psy-
chologically 'unsensed" is to be found
in the attitude of civilians living in
the fighting zone Of northern France.
The effect on them has been such that
they have lost the danger sense"
They go about their ordinary occu
pations apparently careless of shot or
shell. 1t is not bravery. nor is it res
ignation: their attitude is a psy-
Geological one.
A commercial traveller has stated
that he always knew when the psy-
Geological moment had come for him
to snap the order he had been ang-
ling for. That is. he noted the swing
of the wavering mind. and booked his |
order before his customer was bal |
anced' again.
The best safeguard against being /
psychologically affected is to maintain
your hold over your mind and to keep |
your feeling in equilibrium. Manage |
your mind and don't let it manage I
you!
The best antidote to ordinary. ev-
eryday life psychological effects is to
have many interests in life-one main
one, and the rest side lines, as it were.
A busy mind keeps it's equilibrium,
and where stern common sense reigns
effects have no place.
The subject is worth studying. is it
not? Follow it up. This article
touches but the fringe.

THREE CATHOLIC SCIENTISTS
PRACTICAL PROOF THAT CHURCH
is NOT THE FOE OF
PROGRESS.

The recent deaths of three distin-
guished scientists call marked atten-
ton to the fact that Catholicity does
not hamper, as is SO often and per-
sistently claimed, any mans scientific
ambition of labor. Henri Fabre died
in France at the age of 81, one of the
worlds greatest entomologists with
the microscope. He was what Father
Secchi was with the telescope Fabre
was devout Catholic, daily attend
ant at Mass and an honor to his
country. Dr. Finlay, whose research
in stamping out yellow fever in our
southern countries, classes him with
Pasteur, great benefactor to hui
manity Once he had traced the
spread of his yellow scourge to the
mosquito, the rest was matter of
cure, until today yellow fever has to
a large extent disappeared from our
southern states, Cuba and Porto Rico.
DR.. Finlay was ferVent Catholic.
The last of the trio was William Carr
Of Washington, son of former
governor Of North Carolina, man of
varied attainments in scientific pur-
suits, an authority on the X-ray and
the properties of radium, who died as
he had lived, Catholic. Science and
religion went hand in hand with these
men and their great learning did but

crown their lives with honor,

of religious liberation in this country
and that Bancroft was incorrect in
saying that Lord Calvert, of the Mary

speakers and many of our serious
writer's are never weary of advocat-

nearly all of the histories used in our

the original advocate of religious free
