OLD CITY OF TiMGAD.

Tlmgad is an ancient Roman city,
foriotten and buried on the slopes of
the Aures mountains. The desert
winds heaped the market places and
ruined streets with shifting sand; the
jackals and birds of prey made the
stately forum, with it's crumbling col
umns, their haunts and hunting
grounds. For centuries Timgad lay de-
serted and forgotten, unvisited except
by occasional wandering caravans
In recent years, however, the city
has been partially restored and exca-
waited by French architects and arch
eologists. The columns of the facade
of the capitol have been regretted
the sand cleared from the mosaic floors
of the ruined baths, whose colors are
as fresh and bright as in the old days
of Roman splendor. The arch of Ira
jan over one of the two main streets
stands as it did in the days of the
great emperor, the founder of the city.

EXERCISE FOR GIRLS.

There is no better exercise for lit
tie girls than skipping, and none save
perhaps dancing itself which tends to
greater grace of figure and of move
ment. When, however, childhood is
merged into grlhood the game should
be discontinued But the skipping
must be properly done, and it is a
very good thing to encourage this
among children, who much enjoy eX-
ceiling in this particular if it is sug-
gested to them. Two special points
should be made-in the first place.
that the rope is held with the hands
more or less at right angles to the
body, and in the second that the child
come down each time on her toes and
with the knees as loose" as possible.
She should be taught to stand for a
moment with the rope behind her and
her arms straight down at her sides
before beginning, and should under
stand that all good skipping must be
done with the shoulders back and the
head erect. This is really important,
as skipping with the hands and arms
forward, as enc not infrequently sees
children doing, is as bad as the prop
er motion is good, for it is distinctly
narrowing the chest, instead of the
reverse

SLOTH.

When we meet an individual who
has an aversion for work and seems
to be affected by what we might call
chronic fatigue we conclude, and
rightly so, that that individual is lazy.
He is a victim of the vice of sloth, the
last OF the capital sins 1t may be
defined as a WEAKNESS of the body or
the soul or both in the performance of
everything that takes on the appear
ance of work. 1t may be corporal or
spiritual. Corporal sloth is the sloth
of the body, an aversion to physical
labor. Spiritual sloth is WEAKNESS
of the soul, state of indiSposition
towards the performance of spiritual
works. Generally the two go hand in
hand. The person who is too lazy to
move is, as a rule, too lazy to think,
and hence too tired to make the effort
required for devout and fervent
prayer.
There is physical law that says
that bodies at rest tend to remain at
rest until such time as they are set in
motion. This law was never intended
to be applied to man. The bodies
spoken of are inanimate bodies, pos
sessing no life of any kind But
where there is life activity is expect
ed 1t is of the very nature of life to
act. Life is nothing more than self
motion. While a man lives then he
is expected to show some signs of life
physically and mentally. After the
life-giving principle, the soul, has sep
arated itself from his body, and that
body becomes inanimate just as so
much dust, then it can conform to the
physical law of such bodies and re-
main at rest But while we live we
must work. God has laid this obliga-
ton upon the human race. In the
sweat of thy brow shalt thou eat
bread till thou return to the earth, out
OF which thou vast taken Why then
do some amongst us think that they
| have right to idle their time and
| live on the labor of others? Why
should they think themselves exempt
from the general law? ST. Paul pre-
scribes the treatment for such as
these. He deduces it logically from
the Divine command to work. IF a
man shall not work let him not eat"
II he refuses to earn his daily bread
he is undeserving of it.

that the arguments in it's favor were
not to be challenged. The doctrines
set up against it, most of which had
been set aside, he said, were not in
accord with the spirit of Christ, and
he quoted number of Scriptural
texts to show that transubstantiatiOn

Only Way to Save World.
The Anglican Church. said MI
Cram, has not had right philosophy
since the Reformation. The only way
that the world can be saved at this
critical juncture is through accepting
a right religion and right philosophy
1t is necessary to have a right phios-
ophy before any efforts of reunion are
begun. The first step for the Epis-
copal Church to take is to accept the
strict Catholic doctrine of seven sac
raments, with the Mass, both as a
Communion and Sacrifice, as the
chief controlling doctrine of all, and
transubStantiatiOn as the only perfect
and sufficient expression of the nature
of the Presence of Christ in the holy
sacrament of the altar The only
thing that can save us from a new
period of the dark ages is a reunion
of Christianity on the basis of Cath
Ollie theology, sacramento philosophy
and Catholic orders"
Congratulated by Bishop.
The speaker then went on to review
the frequent efforts which had been
made by Anglicans towards a union
with the Roman Catholic fold They
were always concluded. he said, with
certain provisos. and for that reason
had never been effected. Certain An
glican Bishops, he said, would have
liked their authority ratified by com
munion with the Church, with the
right to do pretty much as they liked.
But the Anglican Bishops and clergy
would have to realize, he said, that
they must, in joining the Catholic
Church. become what the latter rea-

Bishop Rhinelander, at the conclu-
sion OF Mr.. Grams address, congratu-
lated him upon it's spirit, and said he
was sure it was greatly admired by
all the ministers, even by those who
did not altogether agree with him in
the final analysis OF it.

ORIGIN OF SURNAMES.

The study as to the origin of sur
names is more intricate than one, who
has never engaged in this diversion,
may suppose. The name of the pres

care, appears to mean square fist, -
which could hardly need a coat Of
arms to go with it. The greater part
Of our English names ending in ing
are, according to Professor Weekley,
in his Romance of Names of Anglo
Saxon origin. Among these are
Browning, Benning, Dunning, kipling,
Manning and Spalding. Among Anglo
Saxon suffiXes greatly changed in their
spelling and pronunciation are beald

god good, heard (strong), here

tom, roed (counseD. ric (powerfuD -.
weald (ruling), weard (guard, and
wine (friends).
The name of Everett is from the
Saxon Eoforhead, which also takes
the form of overhead; Gunter was
Gundhere. Redmond, the name of the
great Nationalist leader, is not Irish,
neither is the name Parnell Irish.
"Mand" and "Mund" were often in
terchanged so that from Eastmund
came both Eastman and Esmond.
The name of the fat knight, Falstaff,
comes from the Saxon Fastwulf, and

to be Raymond. The name Cytel is
connected with the Kettle or Cauldron
of Morse mythology. 1t survives in
such names as Chettle, Kettle, Chell
and Kell. whence comes the name
Kelsey, the tey' tending to confirm
the opinion that the original Kelsey
was an islander. Many names of COM
mon folks, the plain people, have been
ennobled. Prominent among these is
Stewart or Stuart, which became

SIMPLE TRIBUTE TELLS OF WIFE.

She made beautiful home, fol
her house was place of peace, or

fort
This eulogy was spoken of a wife
and mother who recently passed
away. Was it not fine tribute?
Her home was place of peace
Then it must have been a scene OF
religion in practice. Grace from the
Prince of Peace must have promoted
it's quiet
1t was a place of order. Without
obedience no home can be properly
conducted. Order is heavens first
law
1t was a place of affection. The
members of the family were not loath
to show that they were fond of one
another. Love begot love. Affection
in the heart found expression in gen.
tie words and in kind deeds.
1t was a place of cleanliness. No
matter how poor house may be, it
can be kept neat. A dirty home is
an abomination. 1t drives the chill
dren away When they go out and
learn by comparison how untidy it is,
they get ashamed of it. A slatternly
housekeeper does not fulfill her duty.
1t was a place of comfort. The in
mates might have to work hard and
might come to it tired, but there they
found rest 1t refreshed them. 1t
gave ease They felt keenly that they
were at home. They could say appre-

And much of all this beauty of the
home was due to the wife and mother

put her hearts best efforts into her
life's work, to be a helpmate.
