Making Soap From Table Refuse.

To conserve the fats contained in
the table refuse and dishwater of the
soldiers mess, the British military
authorities installed grease traps, ac-
cording to the Popular Science Month
ly. The fat collected in these traps
averages more than an ounce for
each man daily. The traps consist Of
a tin-lined wooden box, divided into
two compartments by a partition
which does not reach the bottom by
about four inches. The dishwater and
the table refuse are poured through a
strainer into the vat. AS the water
coOls the fat forms a crust on top and
is skinned off.

Since 1857 a splendid Catholic school
system has grown up. These schools
now number some eight hundred,
while there are more than score of
Catholic institutions of higher learn

Catholic Press.-The Catholic press
of Holland is amazingly vigorous. De
Tijd, the great Catholic daily of Am
sterdam, is probably the most infiuen-

formed journal of its class in Europe.
In passing, it may be remarked that
De Tijd, while duly regardful of the
neutrality of the Dutch Government,
has been, since the beginning of the
war, in steadfast opposition to German
political and religious pretences. The
Christian Science Monitor and other
anti-Catholic papers might note this,
by the way.

What mask the human face is! If
one could but tear it aside what a
revelation there would be-the mind
and heart and soul laid bare! This
thought flashed through Ed Linden's
tortured brain as he sat, with a per-
fectly immobile expression, and gazed
from out his deep-set eyes at the old
priest across the table.
What would he think of me if he
only knew" asked the youth of HIM
self.
The two men were seated in Father
Vendrone'S study at Mount Saint Hi

night and they were discussing in
sanity, having CHANGED accidentally
upon that subject after disposing of
the business which had brought Lin

In an exceedingly large number of
cases. continued the priest, mental
arrangement is the direct result of
oVerindulgence, intemperance, lack of
self-control, either on the part of the
afflicted person or of one or more of
his antecedents. You know, of
course, that insanity is often heredi-
tary."
Yes, undoubtedly So" replied Ed,
with an inward vince, feeling uncom-
Portable like the woman who read an
account OF her own funeral.
Father Vendrone looked admiringly
at the young man from time to time
during the interview, for Ed was a
good conversationalist, little guessing
the state of chaos behind that youths

of poems-Finney had just finished
emptying the commissary and was on
the point of opening the library. He
looked up in surprise when Linden
approached.
Well, Linden, what do you know?
Anything good?"
Ed was just a trifie i'll at ease,
being in the uncomfortable position of
having something to say, but not
knowing exactly what that something
was, how it should be said or how it
would be received
"Oh, just the same old seven and
SIX" he replied to the others ques-
ton
Then came one of the awkward
pauses which insist on intruding
themselves where they are not
wanted. 1t was perfectly plain to J.
l.. Finney that Ed Linden had some
thing to say to him; so the former
held his peace. However, as it was
perfectly plain to Linden that it was

Linden that the difficulty was momen-

upon the advantages of the midday
winds. This topic led to others of
more interest, and soon, carried along
on the tide of really worthwhile con-
versation, Linden lost all self-con-

stunned, he would lay down his pen,
and, gazing around quickly to see that
he was unobserved, draw his hand
YEARLY across his brow and groan.
Then, in desperation, he would address
himself furiously to his work.
The noon hour arrived and the en-
ployees went out to lunch. Linden,
however, contrary to his custom, re-
manned behind, and at what he deemed
the opportune moment, walked leis-
urely over to the corner where ]. L.
Finney sat
Finney was considered one of the
oddities of the printing establishment.
He was unusual, individual, original,
totally unlike anybody else. Wise
acres did not take him seriously, but
for Ed Linden he had always had a
strong appeal, though their acquaint-
ance was scarcely more than speak
ing one. There was something so
reposeful about Finney, such a "I-like.
the-world-and-the- world-likes-me" air,
that to person of Lnden's intense,
high-strung nature he was an inter.
esting phenomenon.
