18TH CENTURY MANNERS.

In an old book published in the six
teenth century and entitled, "The Ac-
complished Lady's Rich Closet; or,
Ingenious Gentlewoman's Delightful
Companion" is written:
"A gentlewoman being at table
must observe to keep her body
straight and lean not by any means
with her elbows nor by ravenous ges-
lures discover voracious appetite
Talk not when you have meat in your
mouth, and do not smack like a pig
nor venture to eat spoon meat so hot
that the tears stand in your eyes,
which is as unseemly as the gentle
woman who pretended to have as lit
tie a stomach as she had a mouth
and therefore would not swallow her
peas by spoonful, but took them one
by one and cut them in two before
she would eat them. In carving at
your own table distribute the best
pieces first, and it will appear very
comely and decent to use fork, so
touch no piece of meat without it,

MODERN DREADNAUGHTS.

Beyond all doubt modern dread
naughts represent the highest level of
controlled strength that the human
race has yet seen. The fact that 25,-
900 tons or more of metal can be
driven through water at the speed of
an express train while it's big guns
hurl shells weighing three-quarters of
a ton to a distance of twenty miles is
a miracle in mechanism.
During the evolution of the warship
to it's present state of efficiency ma
rine engineers have been faced with
the problem of protecting vital parts
of the vessel from the ever-increasing
hitting power of large shells. In 9TH
er words, the fighting value depended
upon it's ability to take as we'll as
give hard knocks. Some idea of the
difficulty may be gathered from the
fact that a fifteen inch shot strikes
blow at it's maximum point of speed
capable of lifting $4,000 tons a foot
from the ground.

GROCERIES

by religious to change his course
of life, to which he answered that
there was no remedy for one so wick
ed as he. do not say so,' the re-
ligious replied lido what recommend;
fast on Saturday in honor of Mary,
and on that day do no harm to any
one, and she will obtain for you the
grace of not dying under the dis
pleasure of God" The robber fol-
lowed this advice, and made a VOW
to continue to do so. That he might
not break it, he went abroad with
out weapons on Saturdays. 1t hap
pened that on a certain Saturday he
was found by the officers of the law,
and fearing to break the oath the
had made, he allowed them to take
him captive without struggle. The
judge, seeing that he was gray
haired old man, wished to pardon
him; but, through the grace of COM
junction which his devotion to Mary
had inspired in him, the old robber
said that he wished to die in pun
ishment for his sins, He made a
public confession of the wicked life
he had led, and wept so bitterly at
thought of his past crimes that the
whole court sympathized with the
penitent. Nevertheless. he was be-
headed, and buried with but little
ceremony in a grave near by. But it
is told that the Bishop of the do
cese, hearing of this thing, dreamt
one night that the Virgin Mary ap-
peared to him and requested him to
give the repentant old robber a
proper burial in consecrated ground.
Accordingly, the Bishop had the
body removed from the grave into
which it had been placed with such
scant ceremony, and the old robbers
bones found rest in company with
the faithful. This serves TO show how
a little devotion on the part of sin
ner may be ultimately rewarded by
salvation. .Y

THE FLAG OF OUR SKIES.

Red with the brightness
That flames the sky with coming
morn;
White with the whiteness
That floods the day when fully born
Blue with the azure
OF heaven and it's starry host;
Hail to our treasure,
Our flag, our love, our proudest boast!
Then let it float with the glories of
the skies,
And roll on high it's white and it's
red united bars;
Fling out it's folds for the storm king
it defies;
And let it flash through the gloom
all the lightning of it's silver
stars.
Aye, let it float with it's hues from
the skies above it,
With the red of the dawn, the white
of the day, the blue of the night,
we love it.
Wave it, proudly wave it;
With your life's blood gladly save it;
Praise God Who gave it,
The flag of the good and true.
Round it now bravely stand,
Guard it ever with a strong right
hand;
Love the banner of your native land,
The Red, White and Blue.
Francis p. DonReilp, S. j.
