Treasury Department officials be-

was rounded cut in the nationwide

named. Il minimum Of 81. 1000. 900 900
and a maximum Of $4,000, 000. 900.

CATHOLIC sPlNsTERs AND
BACHELORS.

One of our Catholic editors has
said, and it is probably true, that we
have far too many people living in
a state of voluntary, though INSANE
tilted, celibacy, and a priest whom
| know very well claims that he is
a failure as a pastor because there
are SO few weddings in his parish.
Some day I shall make my friends
ashamed of me by putting out an
Apology for the Unmarried. 1t
will not be designed to convert the
readers to single life--I would not
wish my worst enemy fate so evil.
It's purpose will be solely that of
attacking some broad and frequently
made CONGRATULATIONS at their vulner-
able points.
Many things are said of the I'M
married that are stupid and that have
but a modicum of truth as basis.
Bachelors and spinsters have this
long time past been at the mercy of
the jester and have come in not only
for more than their share of ridicule,
but for a considerable amount of UNI
just criticism as well.
Do most men and women who are
single remain so from selfish mo-
tives? | believe not. The charge is
less often made against women than
men. 1t is quite universally admitted
that if woman is spinster it is
because she has sacrificed herself for
her family or because the right man
has !, not spoken. Some one has
spoken, of course. A good woman, I'M
sought for and unasked, is a creature
of fiction, But if the man who speaks
is not the right one she sends him
away and spends the rest of her days
as a minister of mercy under the
happy rooftrees of others. Who

IA SAINT FOR THE WEEK
ST. THOMAS, APOSTLE.

St. Thomas was one of the fisher.
men on the Lake of Galilee whom our
Lord called to be His Apostle. There
are only three incidents related of
him in the Gospel, but these are
enough to make his character more
familiar to us that that of any other
except IS. Peter and John BY nature
slow to believe, too apt to see diff
culties, and to look at the dark side Of
things, he had Withal a most sympa-
thetic, loving, and courageous heart.
Once when Jesus spoke Of the man
sions in His Fathers house, st.
Thomas, in his simplicity, asked,
Lord, we know not whittier Thou
g0est, and how can we know the
way?" When Jesus turned to go to-
wards Bethany to the grave of:
Lazarus, the Responding Apostle at
once feared the worst for his beloved
Lord, yet cried out bravely to the rest
Let us also go, and die with Him.
After the Resurrection incredibly
again prevailed, and whilst the wounds.
of the crucifixion were imprinted

would not credit the report that Christ
had indeed risen. But the actual
sight of the pierced Hands and the.
gentle rebuke of the Saviour went
home at once to his generous heart!
Unbelief was gone forever; and his;
faith and ours has ever triumphed in
the joyous utterance into which he
broke, "My Lord Aand my God" q
He who once saw danger in the
little journey to Bethany, says st.
John Chrysostom, now, full of cour-
age, carries the faith further than any
of the other Apostles. The mission OF
st. Thomas was to the far East. He
planted the faith among Modes and
Persians, in Parthia and Bactria, and
even penetrated into India. There, in
the city of Malispore, he finally won
his martyrs crown at the hands of an
infdel, who slew him with the thrust
of a lance.

THE DAY OF a CARDINAL in
cURlA.

That the title prince of the
Church does not connote luxury, mag
nificence, and ease, as does that title
when borne by a worldly nobleman, is
the conclusion which is forced upon
one who examines the daily routine
of a Cardinal in Curia. The. Cardinals
in Curia are the most self-sacriicing
and devoted body of men in the
Church The day of one of these car
dinals is spent somewhat as follows
He rises at o'clock, says his prayers,
and makes his meditation; then he
says Mass, and hears another Mass
said by his secretary, after which he
takes breakfast-and a very simple
one it is, usually consisting of black
coffee and a little bread.
| By eight o'clock his reception room
is filled with persons waiting to see
him, one who has come from a far
off country to see His Eminence about
some matter pertaining to religious
order of which he is the protector,
nuns DESTROYS of speaking to him re-
garding the rules of their Institutes,
priests bound on a like errand, each
one thinking that his interview is the
most important one, and that it is for,
it. the Cardinal is there. After hearing
and arranging the business of such
visitors, to the number sometimes of
twenty in one morning, His Eminence
goes to the office of the congregation
over which he presides, sees his secre-
ftaries, reads and signs official papers,
hears complaints, etc. Toward one
O'Clock he leaves his Office and re-
turns home for luncheon, which he
! usually takes in company with his
secretary. After luncheon he reads
his office, or rests. From two to
three o'clock he sees other visitors.
About four o'clock he INDUCES in a
short period of recreation, driving in
his carriage The is not aflOWed to walk
4 about the streets of Romeo, about a
mile from the city, and then alighting
4 and walking for about half an hour to
breathe the fresh air in the open coun-
/ try. About Ave Maria time,' which
! varies according to the season, the
/ Cardinal returns to his residence, and
usually enters between rows of people
from every part of the world waiting
to see him, priests, laymen, foreign
diplomats, and the Cardinal must see
each one, and be patient and consid-
crate will all. Moreover, in very many
cases, it is not possible for him even
to hint that his time is limited, and
this fact is frequently taken advantage
of, and the poor prelate must pay
the penalty, doing his work hours after.
all his visitors have left. These in
terviews over, he sits down to his
evening meal, and afterwards finishes
the reading of his Breviary Those
who imagine that the Cardinalate is
a life of ease, splendor, and social
/ functions are sadly mistaken. The
life of a Cardinal in Curia is not UNI
like that of a student in college, in
its curtailment of liberty. by reason Of
