CHRISTMAS.

Once again, in it's appointed season,
the cycle Of time has completed its
course, and another year passes into
history. Nineteen hundred and eight
cen, full of deeds of mankind in
which human life was cheap, full Of
the horrors Of international warfare,
has run it's race, and in common with
the rest of the years that are passed,
has drawn to it's destined end.
; It has been a year of solemn and
significant change. Amid all Of the
events that have attended its course,
nene are of greater import than the
fastly transpiring scenes that marx us

Gods ordered way and in His appoint

there passes forever into oblivion the

humanity and civilization. With the
dawn of the Christmas season comes
the light of peace, and the season that

A retrospective glance into the year
that is passing reveals many accom-

are Justly proud. First Of ali, we

PLANTATION SONGS.

Plantation melodies have exercised
a strong influence on American mu-
steal taste, and consequently on Amer
lean music. These melodies are nu-
merous, much good literary effort has
been devoted to a discussion of them,
and considerable success has attended
the work of collecting and putting
them into permanent musical notation,
that they may be preserved.
Monroe N. Work, in charge of the
division of records and research of the
Tuskegee Normal and Industrial In
stitute, in editing the Negro Year
Book, wrote what follows under the
head of negro folk songs:
These songs, more commonly called
plantation melodies, originated with
the negroes of the South during the
days of slavery. They have been ex-
tensively collected and written about.
Although there is some connection in
scale, composition and s~pontaneity
with original African music, the ina
gerry and sentiments expressed by the
songs are the results of the conditions
under which the slaves lived in Amer
lea. These songs have for the negro
the same value that the folk songs of
any people have for that people. In
the days of slavery they furnished an
outlet for aching hearts and an
guished souls. Today they help to fos-
ter race pride and to mind the race
of the rock from which it was hewn.'"

RABIES.
-ChTistian HFold.

The popular opinion seems to be
that a bite from a rabid dog in every
instance causes hydrophobia in man.
The figure, however, has been placed
at 40 per cent of those not receiving
Pasteur treatment, according to a
medical journal. A man or dog sui.
fering with rabies never RECEIVERS, the
mortality being 100 per cent. The
period of incubation is very indefinite,
varying from a few weeks to several
years. The average period in dogs is
about forty days. The treatment dis.
covered by Pasteur which is very
eficacious, requires about fifteen days
to induce an active immunity to the
disease. All wounds produced by bites
of animals should be cauterized at
once, especially of there is any sus.
picion of rabies.

THE DRUM OF THE EAR.
John Patrick Refertp,

The reason deaf people cannot hear
is that. the drum Of the ear is i'm
perfect or has been destroyed. Sound
is nothing but the vibrations of the
air acting o the drum of the ear.
When people are quite deaf it is be-
cause the eardrum will not respond to
these vibrations, but they can still feel
these vibrations even if they cannot
hear them. When a number of deaf
mutes are sitting in a oom together
and one wishes to attract the atten-
ton of another he strikes his heel on
the floor, and every one in the room
feels the vibration and looks around
to see who called. In the large
asylums for the deaf and dumb the
doors are hung very loosely, SO that if
you shake them it sets up a vibration
like stamping on the floor, and that
is the way they wake up deaf people
that sleep too late in the morning.

THEY CALL 1T HOME.

In the middle Atlantic, about half
way on a straight line between Cape
Town and Montevideo, there was
heaved up in remote times by volcanic
action a huge rock, the little island of
Tristan da Cunha, bleak and barren,
the vortex of fierce storms, the center
of almost incessant rains, always en-
ships, and yet for the last hundred
years inhabited by a strange race
made up of English, Dutch, Irish,
Italians, Americans, cast ashore from
time to time in shipwreck, or driven
there by WEAKNESS of the busy world
and living on fish and spoils of the
wrecks that strew the coast.
These people, now about eighty in
number, men, women and children,
suffer hardships and deprivations al
most inconceivable to residents of
favored lands.
Having no useful timber, their huts
are unmortared piles of rough stones,
matched with grass.
The isle is SO infested with rats
from wrecked ships that any grain
planted is eaten in the ground; and
the only source of -four is passing YES
sells, which may be intercepted only
by rowing many miles to sea-.
There is no government of any sort,
no school, no church.
The island has no future; the peo-
pie have no prospect but of entomb-
ment there.
One would suppose that the unfor-
tunate, intelligent, Industrious, thrifty
and temperate, as they are described
to be, would gladly leave their. rude
huts, their terrible hardships, their
barren fields, their pitiable poverty
and hopelessness, to rejoin the com
Portable world.
But no!
The British government has re.
newed it's offer to remove them and
their few possessions from the bleak
island to any British soil they may
choose and to give them means to
start life anew. Not n will consent
to go. There on the bleak island are
their homes, and there they will stay.
Maybe, after all, n lot in life is not
much better or worse than another, so
FAR as real happiness goes; but there
are some things that seem very nee
essary to us, and that little corner of
Gods creation we call home is one
of them.

H AND MATTER.

The densest matter is more OF less
porous. Gold will absorb mercury as
a lump of sugar will absorb water,
showing there must be interstices or
interatomic spaces in it, but the ether
shows no such property. If a drop Of
water could be magnifed sufficiently
one would ultimately see the different
atoms of hydrogen and oxygen that
constitute the molecules Of water.
If a small volume of ether could be
thus magnifed the indications are
that the ultimate part would look like
the first, which is the same as saying
that it is not made up of discrete
particles, but fills space completely.
This is expressed by saying that the
ether is a continuous medium and in
comparable with matter.

by Nina.)
Fairies live now, as in the days of old,
For one has come to our moon-lit
land;
And the leaves are turned to red and
gold,
By the wonderful touch of her magic
wand.
BY a belated rose she paused in
fight,
And of it's golden nectar-she
quaffed;
And as she thought of the children's
delight,
She clapped her hands, and softly
laughed.
All! many a mile has she flown to-
night,
And wearied are her silvery wings;
Still she works on, by the morn's
bright light,
In the shocks of wheat-a cricket
sings.
The zephyrs make music soft and low,
AS W. the meadow grasses they
sweep:
And down by the path where the
asters grow,
The tired fairy is fast asleep.

WHAT WE SHOULD. HAVE AT IS

Jack. Lait says in The American
Magazine: AT So a citizen should
have a wife and children; he should
have a permanent trade, business or
profession; he should own a home;
he should have money in bank and a
commensurate endowment policy half
paid off; he should be through with
experiment and on his way, realizing
the dreams he dreamt when he had
time to dream, walking owe the paths
he laid in the bodybuilding years,
hiking on his second wind beyond the
point to which he laboriously strained
his way heretofore,
Youth is a tonic and it's NANTES.

gances. But youth is a bargain com
modity-priceless to own, cheap to
buy. He's only a boy says the world,
and he goes at so cents on the dollar.
Therefore youth is the time to invest.
and sometimes later comes the time
to collect. Somewhere is the turning

TALK VERSUS WORK..

Lip battle never won a fight against
an armed foe,
For windy words but hit the air, and
with the breezes blow
Into a sea of nothingness chock full
of empty boast,
Where bubble ships loud mouthed
stand upon a frothy coast.
Now bombast ne'er did drop a bomb
upon a submarine,
Nor bull and bunk ne'er splitted foe
upon a bayonet keen,
Wind pudding never fed a corps of
soldiers fit to fight,
And muzzle loaded know it alI's more
often wrong than right.
What we can dos are always late in
entering the strife,
The do-it-now's are e'er the ones who
put the pep in life,
The wait.a-while's get often lost in
their own verbose domains,
While act-at-once gets on the job and
something e'er attains.
The what.we-did's in wandering midst
the. cobwebs of the past
Forget that men and times have
changed and history's making
fast,
Superfuous amount of talk will never
w the day,
While ignorant intelligence in the ag-
gregate holds sway.
Work wins, in union there is strength,
let this our slogan be,
And lot our energies waste on a blase
verbOsity,
For actions louder speak than words
remember all who may,
Then do your bit to make a hit for the
good old U. S. A.

is THE CATHOLIC CHURCH THE
ENEMY OF POPULAR
EDUCATlON?

Anti-Catholic orators and editors
spend most of their time and energies,
says G. A. Windle in Brann's Icono.
last, trying to prove that the Catholic
Church is opposed to education for the
masses. He then proceeds to refute
the charge in the following manner:
This absurd fallacy finds it's base in
an understanding of the
Catholic attitude toward the public
school system.
The Church does not object to this
system because it is opposed to popu-
lar education, but it believes that the
child should have a religious educa-
ton which the public school cannot
give.
AS a proof of their sincerity Cath
olics pay their taxes to the state for
the purpose of supporting public
schools in which Protestant children
are educated, and levy a special school
tax against themselves in order to
give their W children what they
consider proper religious training.
Criticism of our public school sys-
tenn or any other American institution
is not incompatible with patriotism.
Freedom of speech and press gives all
citizens the right to express their can
did opinion on such matters. Criti-
cism is not to be feared. 1t tends to
correct defects and improve standards
of excellence.
Parochial schools cost American
Catholics $40, 100000 per annum.
But for these schools Protestants
would be paying more taxes and it
would cost many additional millions to
provide buildings for the pupils now
attending religious schools.
Instead of condemning Catholics,
Professionals should feel a sense of
gratitude for this relief from higher
taxes.
If their enemies could know that
parochial schools do not educate, do
not prepare the future citizen for his
station in life, their protest would be
reasonable. But in view of the fact
that pupils of both systems must meet
each other in competition for honors
in every field of endeavor, it reveals
the utter absurdity of the A. P. A. con-
tention.
Each system needs the other. Com
petition is good for both and tends to
raise the standard of education and
make public and p~arochial schools far
better than either would be without
the other.
