THE BIGGEST" CONVERT
WEIGHS 73e POUNDS AND is THE
LARGEST PERSON ON
EARTH"

The biggest" convert to the Catho.
lie faith in years, perhaps the big.
gest" on record, was made recently,
when Reverend Bernard Cohausz, s.
j., baptized James Simmonds, alias
Baby JIM" 81 years old, colored, who
weighs 1913 pounds and who was ex-
hibited in Buffalo recently, as "the
largest person on EARTH
The inspiration for the conversion
was supplied by another colored con-
vert, Mrs. Davis, at whose home
Baby JIM stayed while in Buffalo.
Mother Augustine, who is actively en-
gagged in the local colored missionary
work, was asked to call on Baby
Jim" and prepare him for baptism.
She did so and spent two hours a day
instructing him.
One of the things which made the
greatest impression on Simmonds was
the fact that in her instructions
Mother Augustine made no distinction
of race or color 1T is your soul
God wants, he cares nothing about
your color" the Sister told him. He
appreciated this and mentioned it in
a letter to his wife.

SPANISH SOCIAL ACTION
WHAT 1T HAS DONE DURING THE
PAST YEAR.

The Committee Of Catholic Social
Action of Spain has just held a most
interesting and valuable weeks SEES
sion at Madrid. A review of the years
work of this social action which en-
braces the various committees of all
the parishes, shows the value of CO.
hesion in the works of the mission.
Spiritually and temporarily many i'm
provements have been effected. The
number of communicates has in
creased, the number of those under
evening instruction in catechism is
much larger, the confraternities have
longer rolls of names. In addition to
the establishment of Catholic benefit
societies, and savings banks, a great
impetus has been given to the cam
pa1gn against the bad press by the
establishment of a number of paro-
chial libraries well stocked with Cath
Ollie books and periodicals. To one of
these King Alfonso has himself con-
tributed some 300 volumes, which he
bought for the purpose. The latest
work undertaken by the organization
is the distribution of aims to the poor,
a suggestion which covers the cen
tralization of relief in order to pre-
vent overlapping, and which would be-
come an immense safeguard against
the Anglo-Saxon souper if all relief
was distributed through Catholic
hands.

MISSION OF THE HOLY CROSS
IN CHICAGO TO AID
THE "DoWN AND OUTS"

Shortly after his installation as
Archbishop of Chicago, last February,
Most Rev. George w. Mundelein, an.
nounced that he would open home
for unemployed and unfortunate men.
Now, after months of preparation and
thought, this home, to be known as
the Mission of the Holy Cross, will be
opened. The mission is to be housed
in building, at present the property
of the Archdiocese, located on the
southwest corner of Des PLANES and
Randolph streets. The structure, six
stories high, will require some remod-
cling, but this is expected to be fin
ished in few weeks, when the home
will Immediately be opened. The pur-
pose of the Mission of the Holy Cross
is to extend a helping hand to the men
to whom the world refers in it's ex-
pressive slang as down and OUT

WHERE MOTHER IS, is BEST"
BY Charles Phillips.

Sure as the winged arrow shoots,
Straight as the crow flies west,
Unerring as the eagle sweeps
The heavens, to his nest.
My heart sends all its wishings
Where Mother is, is best"
When Fortune smiles in this fair land
And all the world is dressed
In sunny garb, and all the skies
Smile at my souls glad zest,
o, then would go singing home
Where Mother is, is best"
And when the gloom and shadows
come,
And, faltering in the test,
/ fail, and fain would lean upon
Some heart for strength and rest,
All, then my heart turns YEARLY
Where Mother is, is best
Where Mother is, there Heaven is!
There all the charms possessed
OF peace and JOY and pure content
Await at loves behest
Where Mother is, my heart would
STAY
Where Mother Isl Is best"

EARLY CATHOLIC COINS
RARE AMERICAN PIECES ISSUED
BY LORD BALTIMORE.

Among the rarest and most desirable
of American coins are the pieces
struck by Cecil, second Lord Balti-
more, for circulation in Maryland.
Three pieces were issued, shillings,
sixpences, and greats, and, according
to some writer's, penny. These coins
bear the head of Cecil, Lord Balti-
more, with the inscription, "Coecilius
Dns. Terrae Mariae"-"Cecil, Lord of
Maryland" and on the reverse the
motto, "Crescite ct multiplicamini''-
Increase and multiply" with shield
divided in lozenges, and surmounted
by the baron's cap. Another coin
which was made current in New Jer-
sey by an act of the Colonial Legisla-
ture, and is occasionally found in
that state, has on one side David
playing on the harp, with the in
scription, surmounted by a crown,
and inscribed, "Floreat Rex" On
the other side is st. Patrick with a
crozier and mitre, holding shamrock,
and the inscription, 'Ecce Grex."
These pieces are of two sizes, and
were struck by the Confederation of
Kilkenny in Ireland, in that noble
stand made by the Catholics in 1912.
The coins were bought up by Mark
Newly who sold them to the colony
of New Jersey.

THE EMBER DAYS
SET APART FOR FASTING AND
PRAYER FOUR TIMES A YEAR.

Ember days are the three days at
sons of the year which the Catholic
Church sets apart as days of fasting
and prayer They are the Wednes-
days, Fridays and Saturdays follow
ing the first Sunday in Lent, Pente-
cost Sunday, Sept. 14th, and the third
Sunday of Advent.
The institution of the Ember days
goes back to the earliest times of the
Church. The immediate occasion for
their introduction seems to have been
the practice among the Roman pa
gans of holding their special religious
ceremonies at the beginning of the
seeding, vintage and harvesting times
to ask their deities for a plentiful
harvest. The Church, when convert
ing heather nations, has always tried
to sanctify any practices which could
be utilized for good purpose (Cath.
Encycl.)
The purpose of their introduction
by the, Church is twofold. They are
intended in the first place to thank
God for the blessings obtained during
the season just ended, to dedicate to
Him the new season and implore
blessings for it, atoning at the same
time for the sins committed. The
other object is to ask God to send
Jealous and holy laborers into His
vineyard, good priests into His
Church.

CELTIC TRADITIONS
EUROPEAN LITERATURE ANC
ART ARE GREATLY IN
DERTED TO THEM.

1t is not to be forgotten that Euro,
pean literature is greatly indebted to
Celtic traditions, and that Celtic i'm.
agination and genius more than once
freshened and renewed the art and
literature of Europe, writes DR.. 10.
seph Dunn, professor of Celtic in the
Catholic University. One form Of the
subject, namely, as to how the Matiere
de Bretagne entered French and con-
tinental literature, has inspired most
researches, excited most discussion,
and even polemics.
This difficult and important ques-
ton, since it concerns the Arthurian
romances, the Breton lays, the iris
tan and Grail Sagas and the poems of
Marie de France and of Chretien de
Troyes, has been debated with very
different results by the Celtic, Ro-
nance, Germanic, and English schol-
ars of Europe and America. What
has just been said is an example of
certain topics with which the Iomanist
and Celts are equally concerned.
The two philologies are, in a way,
bound to be complimentary, on the
linguistic side because of the consid-
cradle Celtic element in the Romance
language, and on the literary side be-
cause medieval French literature in
one of it's richest and most important
phases is tributary to Celtic.
Accordingly, Celtic finds place in
Grober's Romance Grundriss" and in
VolImoller's Romance Jahresbericht"
The linguistic question was first
treated many years ago by Thurney
sen, but will have to be done over
Among the many inedited Irish manu-
scripts are numerous Arthurian ro-
mances. An interesting study would
be the Latin loan words in the British
group, that is, those popular words
which were borrowed by the British
Celts in the first century of the Chris |
tian era during the Roman occupation
of Britain. A study of this subject |
would help to fix the chronology Of
certain phonetic changes in the Ro-
nance language.

PRODIGY
SPANISH YOUTH, FAMED AS A
MUSICIAN, is A DEVoUT
CATHOLIC.

Rome has lately had welcome little
visitor in the person of the boy prod
ICY in the world of music, Willy Fer
zero, of Spain, who has been directing
famous orchestras in the presence of
some of the biggest audiences that
have yet filled the Augusteo. Little
Ferrero has played in nearly every
Royal Court in Europe, and before the
elite of every capital. But success
and it has been great-has not spoiled
him. He is the same curly-headed
youngster in velvet knickerbockers
who received with complacency pats
on the head from some of the Roman
Cardinals years ago. after he had
played before Their Eminences and a
select body of Romans. Ferrero is
being brought up an earnest Catholic
by his parents, who, by the way, ac-
company him everywhere.

EPICS OF IRELAND.
HAVE NO EQUAL ANYWHERE FOR
RICHNESS AND ORIGINALITY.

The epic material of Ireland has no
equal anywhere for richness and orig
inality, writes DR.. Joseph Dunn, pro,
fessor of Celtic in the Catholic Uni
versity of America
In the first place, it is the oldest ex.
listing literature of any of the peoples
that dwelt to the north of the Alps,
and in many respects it is such mon
ument as no other race with which
the Celts may be compared possesses.
The Importance of these epic tales
has only recently been recognized. 1t
extends far beyond the limits of Ire
land. Many questions as to the extent
and Importance of myth and history
in these epics and as to the nature
and extent of the influence of one
cycle upon another are obscure in the
extreme and remain to be settled
Though many of these prose epics,
so important from every point of view,
have been published, some three hun
dred or four hundred, belonging to the
two great heroic cycles or to smaller
local cycles, still remain inedited and
untranslated.

holy, dedicated to God. Besides. for
the good of their body, these clerks
are entitled to one days rest in seven.
On what day do they receive this
rest, if it be taken from them on Sun
day?
The privilege of doing their shop
ping when they come to Church, that
some may consider necessity, is
really in the great majority of cases
only a bad habit. If it is made clear
to them that the store will be closed
on Sunday, they very soon will find
an opportunity to buy all that they
will need on some of the other six
days of the week. 1t is possible, of
course, that in some particular cases
an exception can justly be made; but
this is vastly different from keeping
the shop open for business regularly
on Sundays. Such a custom as this
must be condemned.
For how long a period did DR.. De-
wulf lecture on Scholastic Philosophy
at Harvard University? What results
did he obtain and where is he at
present? ...
DR.. Dewulf was Professor of Scho-
lastic Philosophy for many years at
Louvain University in Belgium. After
the destruction of that seat of learn
ing he came to America and obtained
the chair of Thirteenth Century His
tory at Harvard University. AS this
was the golden age of Scholastic
Philosophy he would necessarily have
to treat extensively on that subject in
his lectures. He has been, two years
at Harvard and so we'll has he done
his work that efforts are being made
to induce him to remain indefinitely.
The faculty of Philosophy and the
alumni are most anxious to retain him
on the staff.

encouragement to the poet, the orator,
the essayist, the historian, the re-
former of abuses, the fosterer of ma
tive products. The writer's of the
Nation, under the guidance of their
editor, focused the light of their gen.
ius with view to kindling the flame
of Irish learning and exploring the
dark effort of Irish history. They
pooled their energies in a supreme
effort to rebuild the Irish nation on
industrial and economic, no less than
on political lines. And they succeeded
to an extraordinary extent. Not even
the famine and the plague of later
years by which our unhappy country
was scourged could wholly destroy
the edifice they had set about erect
ing or obliterate the landmarks Of
national endeavor they had succeeded
in tracing. Thus was the Nation a
wise and practical organ of Irish opin-
ion, the creation of the brain of a
highly gifted and practical man.
After the famine of 1847 and the
State prosecutions of 1848, Duffy,
whom the Government had failed to
convict, turned the stream of his ener-
gies into another practical channel.
He was for five or six years one of
the leading figures in the Tenant
Right movement that united North
and South for a season. The move
ment was conducted by sincere and
able men of the stamp of George
Henry Moore and Frederick Lucas,
the detection of William Keogh, who
left the popular party lust for hand
full of silver and for the ribbon"
of the judgeship ito stick in his coat"
and the wholesale forgeries and mel
ancholy end of Sadleir, as we'll as
other difficulties that can not be dwelt
on here, broke up the party, and Duffy,
declaring that there was no more hope
for Ireland than for corpse on the
dissecting table, sold his interest in
the Nation and sailed for Victoria,
Australia, in 1855.
In the colony of Victoria he
was destined to spend quarter Of a
century broken only by visits to
Europe in 1866 and 1874. He rose to
eminence in the legislature, becoming
Prime Minister in 1871, and Speaker
of the House of Assembly in 1877.
His life in the southern hemisphere
was guided by the same practical
spirit which directed his energies in
Ireland.

PRACTICAL IRISH PATRIOT
CAREER OF CHARLES GAVAN
DUFFY, THE IRISH POET AND
STATESMAN.

A hundred years ago this year,
Charles Gavan Duffy, the Irish poet,
patriot and practical statesman, was
born. In an article on his achieve
ments, the Dublin Leader stresses the
practical quality of his patriotism. 1t
says:
Duffy was man in whose life, both
private and public, practical wisdom
and practical ability were conspicuous;
and these are qualities that Irishmen
who take part in public affairs will
do well to cherish.
His first important undertaking was
the founding and editing of the Nation
full or practical work could have been
planned or executed at that period
OF our history. 1t was on Oct. IS,
1912, that the first number appeared.
The editor was only tWenty-siX. He
was self-educated save for few
months spent in Presbyterian acad-
envy at Monaghan. But he gathered
round him a memorable company of
men of genius and public spirit, in
Guiding Thomas Davis, Clarence Man
gan, Denis Florence Mccarthy, John
Cornelius O'Callaghan, John Mitchell,
John O'Hagan, Lady Wilde. The Ma
tion during the six years of its exist
ence prior to its suppression in 1848,
under Duffy's able editorship, confer
red benefits on the Irish people the
magnitude Of which it would be diff
cult to exaggerate. 1t is sometimes
said in disparagement of the paper
that it's writer's were dreamers and
poets, and men of impractical ideas.
1t is no doubt true that one, at least,
of its most gifted contributors, poor
Clarence Mangan, led an impractical
life; but the paper itself in Duffy's
able hands was as sane and practical
an organ of opinion as any country
could boast of. 1t fostered Irish tai
emf, it afforded an outlet for Irish
literary genius; it revived interest in.
Irish historical study; it encouraged
Irish industries: it defended the Irish
name and character from a host OF
interruptions assaiIants.
What can be more sane and prac-
teal than to give scope and liberal
