A cHILD's KINDNESS.

One day a little girl looking out
of the window of her home saw a
number of prisoners from a nearby
Jail working in the hot sun on a
summer day; they looked tired and
hot, and she knew they must be
thirsty. She remembered Christ
words: Il was thirsty and We gave
Me drink; l was in prison, and We
came unto Me-" and the thought came
to her, Il can do BOTH
With her mothers permission she
took little bucket of cold water, with
a dipper, and gave a drink to each
prisoner in turn, refllling the bucket
several times. AS she went from one
to another in her white frock, her
sweet smile gave even better cheer
than the water. The thanks of the
prisoners we're very hearty. One of
them asked:
Little lady, what made you do
this?'
After a moments pause, she re.
piled:
THAT is what Christ said we should
do"
He lowered his head and said:
God bless you, little Christ-chiId. y
There were tears in the eyes of the
prisoners as she walked away. Their
hearts had been touched and softened
by the kindness of child.

TF | REST, / RUST"

The pithy inscription found ON an
old key, IF I Rest, Rust" contains
forcible truth when referred to hui
man action. Even the industrious
might adopt it with advantage to
serve as reminder that, if one al
lows his faculties to rest like iron
in the usual key, he will soon show
signs of rust and, ultimately, will not
do the work required of them. Those
who would attain success and keep a
first place must keep their faculties
Furnished by constant use, so they
will unlock the doors of knowledge in
every department Of human endeavOr.
Industry keeps bright the key dhat
opens the treasury of achievement to
the ambitious, and every man may OBJ
serve the force of this statement in
his own experience. When one gets
off work for only short time, little
effort is necessary to get fully into har-
ness again, and the longer the vacation
the more rusty some men become.
Remember, that labor is invincible il
we'll directed to a worthy purpose,
just as truly as industry is the price of
enduring success. Beware of the
canker of rust.

LOOKING BACKWARD.

The constant looking backward TO

for the old past, this wasted energy
for that which no power on eartn can
restore, ever lessons a mans 1alth III

himself for the future to the per1ec'
ton of his possibilities. Nature IN her
beautiful love and tenderness says TO
the weakened and worn and weary
with the struggle:
do in the best way you can the
trifle that IS under your hand at the
moment; do it with good intention;
do it with the best preparation yonl
thought suggests; bring all the llgh'
of knowledge to aid you.
Do this and you have done your
best. The past is forever closed. NC
worry, mo struggle, no suffering, mol

Turn all that past, with its sad hours

THE CHTLDREN'S HOUR
SMILE AND BE HAPPY.

Scowling with children is habit
very bad one. 1t requires persever'
ance, patience, and tact to break a
child of it, but it can and should be
done. The following brief converse
ton overheard between a mother and
daughter indicates that one woman at
least is on the right track.
The mother was sitting at the open
window and the daughter was stand
ing on the walk outside, with heI
books strapped together and tucked
under her arm, in readiness to sci
out for school. On her face was q
scowl, the awful scowl of the stage
william.
Evelyn" her mother called to her
Il don't think you'd better start just
now"
"Why not, mamma? I'm all ready.
ooh, no, you're not" responded hel
mother pleasantly. ''You won't be
ready for school until you get rid o.
that dreadful scOwl you've got on YOU
face"
80, I forgot" And the scowl van
ished as if by magic.
A dozen words tactfully spoken hat
dispersed the clouds and caused thu
sunshine of good nature to brighter
her pathway and the pathway of Others
with whom she came in contact durin.
the day.
Children should be trained to smile
instead of scowl. The smiling habi
is as easy to cultivate as the other
and the child who smiles at his o
her work or play will enjoy life bette
and accomplish far more than tn
one who goes about with a perpetual
scowl. Smile, and keep on smilin'
until it becomes a fixed habit, a sor
| of second nature.

GIVE YOUR BEST.

There are loyal hearts, there are spir-

There are souls that are pure and
true;
Then give to the world the best you
have,
And the hest will come back to you.
Give love, and love to your life will

A strength in your utmost need:
Have faith, and score of hearts will
show
Their faith in your word and deed.
Give truth, and your gift will be paid
in kind
And honor will honor meet:
And a smile that is sweet will surely
find
A smile that is just rs sweet.
For life is the mirror of king and

And the best will come back to you

In choosing wife, young man is
apt to be misled by appearances.
Beauty of face and grace of poise are
not to girls discredit, provided
they are accompanied by practical
common sense. A woman who is over
fond of emphasizing her looks, on the
other hand, may be a heavy drain on
the-man's pocketbook. A girl who can
make her own clothes and knows how
to economiZe in the household, is by no
means to be despised in favor of the
one who overdresses and expects an
other to pay the bills.
Besides these considerations, there
are others which affect Catholic young
people in particular, for instance the
danger of mixed marriages and the
impediments to matrimony. Concern
ing the latter point Father Gerard
says:
THE great principle to be kept be-
fore ones mind, therefore, in the
choice of a mate, is that the Sacra'
ment of marriage is not crushing or
a cramping of human nature, but a
perfecting and realizing of it, If linn
it's have been placed by the law OF
| God, by the law of the Church, by the
law of reason, then those limitations
| of choice are the conditions of wild
err and nobler freedom. If it seems
hard to have ones choice limited to
a partner of the same religion, remem
her that that law duly observed, will
be q safeguard against a multitude
of more irksome limitations in the FIJI
ture. If it seems unfair to have ones
choice limited to those who are not
of blood relationship, remember thai
that law duly observed will probably
mean salvation from some of the mos
horrible calamities which can befal
the marriage state. If love seems t.
have limits set to it by reason, re
member that those reasonable limit:
are the barriers which prevent love
from degenerating into mere passion
and insure for it q strong and lasting
endurance"

YOUR CROSS.

Seek not to drop the cross you wear
Or lay it down; for if you do
Another shall be built for you
More difficult and hard to bear.
The cross is always made to fit
The back which bears it. Be content
Accept the burden which was sent
And strive to make the best of it.
Think not how heavy is your load;
Think not how rough the way OF
long,
Look up and say, Lord, am strong
And love makes beautiful the road
Who tolls in faith and knows no fear
Shall live to find his cross some day
Supported all along the way
BY angels who are walking near.

the CHOICE OF LIFE PARTNER

What qualities should a girl expect
to find a young man with whom she
wishes to bind herself for life? what
principles should guide a young man
in his choice of help-mate?
No doubt marriages have been con-
tracted without any of the partners
having set any special standards with
which the other was expected TO con-
form, but this unmethodical way of en-
terino the matrimonial state has often
heen responsible for a life of bitter
disappointment. Young people who
have not thought of the stern realities
of life and have been building castles
in the air, are apt to attach too much
Importance to superficial properties
and overlook essential qualifications.
One of the first requirements that
q girl should exact from young man
is integrity of character. Under TINS
head is included sobriety and moral
rectitude. No mistake is more fire.
uuently made and is followed by such
disastrous consequences, as the com
mon practice of condoning the excess
es of a young man with the excuse
that he is merely sowing his wild oats
and will strip off the old man and re-
veal himself a new man in the married
state. The girl who is confident that
she can easily reform such character
often overestimates her own capable
tiles and underestimate the strength
Of the forces of evil habits.
A young man who is good at heart
though his record is not altogether
unimpeachable, will make an honest
effort to be real man when he meets
a good girl who elicits his love and re
spect. But he will have to fight his
own battles and give evidence OF
marked change in his habits of life
Such a case, however, is different from
the one cited before with reference tC
the hope of reforming a young man at
ter marriage.
Health is another consideration
Those DESTROYS of entering matrlmenI
should remember that they owe
duty to unborn generations. The sci
ence of heredity has not reduced TIT

WHENCE THE oPAL's BEAUTY.

Very many years ago among the
people of the eastern lands there was
q little stone that was held to be very
precious. 1t was thought by the peo-
pie to bring good fortune to the one
who possessed it. 1t was beautiful in
itself, but was especially valued for
it's supposed power. This valuable lit
tie treasure was the opal. Even yet,
in the same countries, a man who
wears this stone is thought to be be-
loved of God and man, if only he be-
lieves sincerely in its power.
We have this same opal today
among our precious stones, but we
have it because of it's beauty. and not
because of any belief in it's power to
bring us good fortune.
Among all the precious stones there
is no other that displays such splendid
colors. All the beautiful tints you are
accustomed to see in the rainbow are
shown, and they have an added beauty,
for you seem to see them as through
the finest silvery mist.
AS you gaze at this wonderful lit
tie object you catch glimpses of whit.
ish yellow, beautiful azure, rich ruby
| and the deepest emerald.
What an exceptionally beautiful
treasure this is! Where do you sup
pose these splendid colors come from,
and how are they made?
If you simply hold the opal up to
the light a whitish yellow appears. AS
you change the position, turning it one
way and another, all the soft tints are
brought out.
| This is the secret In this little
stone are the very finest assures or
cracks. You cannot see them at all
with the naked eye, but they are there
A powerful glass would enable you to
see them. These assures are all filled
with air and moisture. AS the light
falls upon the stone it strikes these
many crevices and is cast from side to
side and is broken up into the many
| tints of the rainbow. No doubt many
of you know about the spectrum-how
it holds and distributes light. Well,
so the light is broken up by the fis-
sures of the opal into many colors.
| So you see these beautiful tints of
this pretty stone come to us through
blemishes and flaws in the stone. The
fissure that would seem to mar the
stone is that which gives it it's power
to display wonderful color. Is not
this wonderful? Do you not think God
teaches us a real lesson in this fact?
There are all about us people whose
lives are scanned by sickness, blind
ness, deafness. loss and even sin; but
as God has come into their lives these
misfortunes, even as the assures In
the opal. have caught the light of His
: ] goodness, and have shown back the
