On the Rue Vanguard of Paris,
there is a building associated with
which is a tragic story and which con
tains the bones of martyrs. During
t." first Revolution many country
priests were arrested, gathered into
tho city and confined in a Carmelite
convent as prisoners.
When the Prussians began their
march on Paris, the revolutionary
mob, headed by Violete, who reused it
to frenzy, slaughtered the prisoners
in the Abbey de st. Germain, and
then rushed to: the Carme1ite convent,
The mob broke into the garden and
the blood of the Archbishop and his
priests redeemed the waters OF the
fountain. All but one were killed by
the swords of the revolutionists
Tired of their bloody work, these
men went to rest in voUm of the
convent, hanging their swords on the
walls, which were streaked with the
blood that dripped from the steel

Germs household affairs. Can you
blame such women if they pour out
their feelings to their women friends?
Man, and that includes woman, is a
social being, and experience teaches
that labors, trials and fluctuations
are more easily borne if they are con
fided to others.
In many homes the wife is herself
to blame for her commonplace exist
ence. Some young housewives who
are just establishing a home, frequent
lily display Indifference to everything
outside the world of their petty con-
Germs and troubles. Such demeanor
tends to bore the men after the charm
of novelty in having their own home
has vanished. Often, too, the young
wife has a challenging temperament
with the result that the husband pre-
fers silence to ,wordy and disturbing
alterations. In the course of time,
the household becomes STEPPED in
gloomy silence.
On the other hand, self-indulgence
and self-centered enjoyment of COM
fort on the part of men, often leaves
the entertainment of their wives out
of their reckoning altog tn r.
Throughout the day, the man has been.
in the busy world, hearing and ex-
periencing new and interesting things.
He comes to his home where his wife
has been, secluded for the whole day.
She, too, longs to keep pace with the.
busy world and be abreast of the
times. But he, regarding only his own
convenience, lapses into silence with
his pipe and paper. Naturally the
woman at home is not so quick to I'M
derstand certain things as is the man
whose occupation keeps him constant
ly in touch with events. Some men
are too indolent to explain matters if
the wife does not readily comprehend,
and in their impatience they blame
the stupidity of the better half
Old Homer referred to discourse as
''the sweeter banquet of the mind"
Most men come home, and having had
their fill at supper forget that they
owe their wives mental treat in the
form of stimulating conversation and
interested concern.

FOUNDED BY CATHOLICS.

Practically every university in Eu-
rope was established by Catholics, and
were it not for the brutal spoliation by
the Church's prosecutors they would
be Catholic today The tendency OF
state action since the Reformation
has been to secularize education, ex,
polling religion from institutions that
were founded by religion Today
there are, however, independent Cath
Ollie universities at Anglers, Lille
Lyons, Paris, Toulouse, Frieburg, Lou
vain; there are Catholic faculties of
theology at Bonnie, Breslau, Freiburg,
Munich, Munster, Strasburg, Tubingen,
Wurzburg, Graz, Innsbruck, Cracow
Lemberg, Prague, Olmutz, Salzburg,
Vienna, Agram, Budapest. If any read
er wishes to go into this matter min
utely we would refer him to the arti-
Gle Universities" and the authorities
referred to therein in the catholic
Encyclopedia" What the Church does
and can do when given free chance
has been demonstrated for centuries
the world over, as it is being now in
the United States, where there are
almost $500 parochial schools, 230 col
leges for boys, $50 academies for girls,
80 seminaries, and eight universities,
with combined attendance of almost
10000 students; and all this has
been accomplished without state aid
and at great self-sacrifice, solely from
the love of God, from which motive
alone true love of education springs.

Girls that are fair on the hearthstone,
And pleasant when nobody sees;
Kind and sweet to their own folks,
Ready and anxious to please.
The girls that are wanted are wise
girls,
That know what to do and to say,
That drive with smile and soft
word
The wrath of the household away.
The girls that are wanted are girls
of sense,
Whom fashion can never deceive;
Who can follow whatever is pretty,
And dare what is silly to leave.
The girls that are wanted are careful
girls,
Who count what thing will cost,
Who use with prudent, generous
hand,
But see that nothing is lost.
The girls that are wanted are girls
with hearts;
They are wanted for mothers and
wives;
Wanted to cradle in loving arms
The strongest and frailest lives.
The clever, the witty, the brilliant
girl,
There are few who can understand;
But, oh! for the wise, loving home
girls,
There's constant, steady demand.

!. THE WIDOWS GIFT.

In the year 1855 the ladies of the
imperial city of Vienna, Austria, had
a collection arranged for the Holy
Father, which they took up them
selves at the entrance of the great Ca
thedraI of st. Stephen. A large crowd
Of people gathered around them and
readily gave their money to these
prominent women; gold and silver
pieces, together with coppers of the
poor, dropped upon the plates handed
out to ALL A rich man of the city
approached one of these prominent
ladies holding out her collection plate
ito him and, looking at her smilingly,
he pulled out his purse and before
all he produced check which he
slowly and proudly unfo1ded and,
bowling before that lady, he turned
away from her and went to poor
woman sitting onuthe other side Of
the entrance alsOgbegging. and gave
this banknote,. saying with a loud
voice:
take my charity; that's for you.
II prefer to give to the poor rather
than to the Pope and his cardinals,
who need not my money to ride
around in golden carriages and live
highly"
The beggar woman accepted the
check, arose and gave the money to
the lady collecting for the Holy Fa-
Their, saying; This is for the Pet
er's Pence.
The rich man felt this disgrace and,
full of shame, he soon disappeared
amongst the crowd, being very angry
over his bad investment. But also.
this poor woman was perplexed over.
her quick action and hurried away in
order to escape the applause Of the.

King Of the jews traced, according
to custom, in red letters ON a white

Passion, in the Church Of the Holy
Cross in Jerusalem, which, together.
with the Holy Chapel, was purposely
built for them.

a thriving business and also gave sew

DON'T MAKE SWEATERS

Word has been received by the To-
cal Red Cross Chapter from the Nor
thern Division that enough sweaters,
wristlets and mufflers are on hand
to last until September l but every
knitter is urged to make socks which
are required in double the quantity
that is now being received. Williams
county is allotted $50 comfort kits
for the navy, directions for making
same are available at the Red Cross
Chapter, Mrs. Ivan Metzger, chair
man. 1t is hoped that the Red Cross
workers will not give up the knitting
during the summer but will help meet
the shortage in socks and comfort
kits for the boys, both of which are
badly needed.

POISON LOTION FOR RABBITS.

Many farmers OF this and neighbor-
ing counties have sustained serious
losses this year by the inroads OF
hordes OF rabbits. The use OF poison
bait has brought about greater de-
%struction among the pests than any
other method and the following meth
DDS OF applying the bait Is con
mended by farmers who have tried IL
successfully:
Al Ii the ease with rodents, strych-
nine Is used for the poison. Apples and
green Alfalfa tops are the best sum
mel bait materials. the alkaloid beina
used with the apples and strychnine
sulphate with alfalfa. The difficulty
with the poison method during the
aumnmer lies Ia getting rabbits to take
the bait since green material so am

may be partially offset by using the
poison only Ia the rabbit runways

their insufferable dignity.
The conduct OF the German officers
IL not exceptional. We have heard of
such a case once before. Probably
most OF the German officers have the
same idea of the dignity OF their rank.
Rather than tarnish that dignity in
the slightest degree they would permit
a common soldier 10 suffer and TO die.
We must not ascribe the blame to
the individual officers. They took
that warped view of their honor be-
cause they had been taught hat view
by their military system. The ideals
OF Christian civilization have been held
