Your Weight.

A PERSONS weight is, of course, not
a sure sign of the state of his health.
But it usually gives some pretty
definite information. To be mark
eddy below or markedly above the
average weight for ones height and
age commonly calls for medical in
tervention.
This is generally known. Yet COM
paratively few profit from the knowl-
edge as all should, because most
people have only a vague idea as to
what they should weigh.

THE SCAPULAR.

An interesting incident in the mis-
sionary experiences of the late Arch
bishop Folding shows the efficacy at
tached to the wearing of the Scapular
Of Our Lady of Mount Carmel.
This prelate was travelling in a re-
mote part of Australia He fell i'll on
his way, and was cared for and nursed
with admirable devotedness by wild
ow. On his recovery, the Archbishop
promised her that, at whatever time
Of the year, or wherever he might be,
he would return at her request to ad-
minister the Last Sacramento.
Several years passed, when one au-
tumn night a letter came requesting
him to fulfill his promise to this dying
widow. Without hesitation, in spite
of the bad season, the good man set
out. After walking many days he
reached the house fatigued and worn
out, to find it, to his establishment,
quite empty.
Whilst considering what to do, his
attention was attracted by the sound
of wood-cutter's Ratchet, and, going
to the spot whence the sound came,
he found a robust Irishman telling
trees. From him he learnt that the
old lady, fearing delay, had resolved,
though in a dying state, to seek else
where for spiritual help. AS the man
did not know in which direction she
had been taken, the Bishop sat down
on the trunk of a tree, and said to
the wood-cutter:
'Well, my good man, have no in
tention to come here for nothing;
kneel down, and l will hear your con-
fession.'
The man began to excuse himself,
with a thousand reasons, as to his
want of preparation, and the length of

"SISTERS."

There are some words that at diff
ferent times have meant very differ
ent things, and curious mistakes are
made when people forget this. Fa-
miliar instances are conventus, divor-
tium, episcopus ct familia ejus. To
these might well be added the term
SISTER" when used in connection with
hospitals and nursing. The dissolu-
ton of the monasteries, followed as it
was by the dissolution Of nearly all
the hospitals and schools of England,
changed the meaning Of Sister" very
considerably. Before the Reforna-
ton the hospital Sister was a nun,
generally of the Augustinians, as at
st. Bartholomew, Smithtield, the great
Order that specialized in this work.
In later times nurses and hospital Sis
Eers were women of inferior station,
something between WasherWomen and
servants, not infrequently of doubt

'reprimanded for brawling" or dis
missed for drunkenness''-as far re-
moved from the medieval religious
Is from the highly trained and
devoted ladies who bear the name
today. 1t is as well to make the point
clear, as more than one Protestant
controversialist has made capital out
If confusing the first and second cate
5ories.

ORIGIN OF MONTH OF MAY.

1t might be difficult to fix upon the
date when the month of May was first
suggested as proper time for the per-
Torrance of public devotions to Mary
the. Mother Of God. But the May de,
votion in it's present form originated
at Rome, where Father Latomia of the
Roman College of the Society of Jesus,
to counterfeit infdelity and immoral
ity among the students, made a vow
at the end of the eighteenth century
to devote the month of May to Mary
The practice speedily spread to other
Jesuit colleges, and thence to all Cath.
Ollie churches of the Roman rite.
The idea of the star and the flower
is often found among the songs ad
dressed to the. Virgin, the flower OF
womankind, and the light of Chris
tians.

WHOLESOME THOUGHTS.

We ought to lead manly lives, lives
of modification. "But I don't like it. ;
Jesus Christ did not like it except
through love of me. Love of Him can
make me like it.
There is none that loves you as
Jesus Christ; none more ready and
willing to help you. Then in all your
troubles go to the Tabernacle-ge as
close as you can-the closer you get
to Him, the more influence you will
have over souls.
Learn from our dear Lord great
spirit of perseverance, knowing that
only ''he who perseveres to the END
shall be saved"
His Blessed Head suffered for ou1
sins of INSTRUMENTATION, but SO also
did His Heart and even more, for He
loved obedience, even to the death OF
the Cross.
Stand at the foot of the Tabernacle
throw open the door and ask, louis
est Deus?" You see a little white
wafer and the answer comes, Il am
the Lord, thy God"
Look at the wonderful silence OF
Jesus in the Tabernacle. Here is a

SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES AND EDUCATIONAL ITEMS OF INTEREST

sole dominant for century; have
been increasingly sympathetic to
purely secular views and interests;
have ousted from every place of want
age or influence the older, more spir-
itual and humane theories and insti-
tutions of education; have drawn to
their side, in great measure, public
funds and private generosity; have
misrepresented, prosecuted and de-
stroyed religious education, wherever
it was possible to do SO, and have al
most entirely moved God from His
world
And what is the reward, to Euro
pean mankind at least, for it's apos-
tasy from Christian education? Hear
the response of the death that arises
from every quarter of Europe! Be-
hold the hecatombs of slaughter, and
such slaughter, records that para
lyze arithmetic and craze the ina
gination! The very material wealth
men had learned to adore has gone
in smoke and carnage, and a heavy
serfdom has fallen upon vanquished
and victors. Odin and Thor have
come into their own again; and blood,
hate, revenge are again the fero-
cious virtues of man, while starva-
ton, poverty and habitual beggary
are the new status of whole nations
and peoples.
Can the materialistic philosophy
deny the facts or the differences? It's
writer's, publicists, political agents,
have kept school in Europe with lit
tie rivalry for ten decades; and be-
hold their handiWork!
Catholic education almost alone
made some Roadway against this
overwhelming materialism; and to it
alone can we look for any serious i'm
provement in the moral conditions of
the Europe we now behold. 4
All education is based on some
kind of philosophy, some definite
views of the nature Of man and his
purpose in life, of the world about us,
of the visible things of this life, and
the invisible, intangible things beyond
it, of life itself and it's values. We have
been too long under the spell of a
materialistic philosophy, which lays
stress on the present alone and makes
human felicity consist in material
possessions and pleasure.

time since his last confession, but the
Bishop overcame them all, and the
Wood-cutter knelt down and rose up
contrite and penitent, after receiving
Absolution, and promised that he
would go to Holy COMMUNION the fol
lowing Sunday. y
The prelate had walked only a few
steps when he heard thud, and then
a feeble groan. He returned in haste
and found his penitent dead, crushed
by the fall Of a tree.
What had obtained this wonderful
mercy of God, in bringing Bishop
many hundred miles >from his resi-
dence, by roads full of danger and diff
ficulty, to open the gates of HEAVIER
to the soul of poor man who was
about to die by sudden accident? Ii
was, surely, that he wore the Scapu
lar of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, anC
this gracious Mother, ever faithful tC
her promise that whoever dies wear
ing the Scapular will be preserved
from the eternal fire of HE'LL did mo-
fail to obtain for this man the grace
of reconciliation.
This remarkable and edifying story
was related by the Archbishop himself
in 1916 to a venerable English relig
ious community then resident in Lon
don, now for many years in the Ply
mouth Diocese, and in whose MSS
chronicles it is faithfully and piously
recorded.

EDUCATION OPPOSED
TO MATERIALlSTIc PHlLOS-
OPHY.

Following is an excerpt from the adj
dress of the Rt Rev. Bishop Shahan,
delivered at the opening session Of
the Catholic Educational Association:
A year ago, we found ourselves in
the midst of a great war, perilous be-
yond belief, for the United States and
humanity. if it were lost, since in
freedom and progress of the small ma
lions of the world, Ireland, the old
est and most meritorious of them, in
Guided. Since then we have earned
the greatest victory in human annals,
and have saved England and France
from the fate which threatened them
until our two millions of soldiers and
sailors crossed the ocean and ended a
barbarous conflict which had disgraced
the applied sciences, put reason and
good sense out of court, freed every
passion and vice in the calendar,
blackened human nature all over,
threatened to extinguish human char
ity, and in the end tried to put over on
the Christian religion it's own incred-
ible infamies by cynically asking why
it had been allowed to break loose.
Catholic educators have no illusions
as to the causes of the war, remote or
immediate. They are to be found in
the false principles, theories, and prac-
tice of education as carried on in the
nations of Europe for the last six or
seven decades. Plus TX, Leo XIII and
Plus x prophesied again and again
that this bestial conflict would come
about; and 10, we are yet in the heart
of it, for is it certainly off the stage
with the signing of a document? And
these three great leaders of Catholic
mankind pointed precisely to false and
perverted education as the certain
cause of the wars they foresaW. To
be sure they were treated as common
scolds or new Cassandras. But how
far wrong were they in their anointed
vision? Let dead men arise from
Ypres or Verdun, from Vimy Ridge,
or the Argonne, and speak the truth!
Modern materialistic theories of ed
ucation, from Locke and Rousseau and
Condorcet down, have been almost

great mystery-He could speak, but
He will not. You waste time in idle
gossip-do think of Jesus Christ. Look
at the silent God
When we are faint-hearted and
Waver about making a sacrifice, we
will look at the Blessed Sacrament.
If we could only realize it, everything
would be done

HOGS.-Last Saturday saw a very
erratic upturn in the local hog trade,
due to the fact that the day previous
was holiday and here was but a
nominal supply available, the market
was pushed upwards soc to 40c per
cwt., extreme top at that time reach
ing $21. Chicago, however, had a
two-days' holiday and came back with
an unusual heavy run the first of the
present week and the influence de-
veloped from that leverage resulted in
marked drop in prices upon the St.
Louis market, and backed up by a
substantial run, buyers have had COM
paratively easy sailing in forcing the
trade down, until today at the close it
records the lowest level in some time.
On the early market very best hogs
had top of $20.55, but at the close
5000 bought as good drove as ev-
er walked down the alleys, and at the
same time it took a cracking good
bunch of guaranteed southern hogs
weighing 1870 pounds upwards to sell
at $19.75 to 500. The general mar
ket on the best hogs is fully Coo per
cwt. lower than last Saturday, while
pigs, light stuff and southern grade
swine are at least 75c per cwt. lower.

TOMORROW

Tomorrow is the grandest day--an
antidote for sorrow! There's no de-
spair for any jay who banks on his to-
morrow. Today may be a frost and
crime, Pm ever forward looking; !
waste no portion of my time COM
planning and gazooking. I've always
had the pleasant gift of banking on
tomorrow; and so my old bald head
lift above the tides of sorrow. You
say, Tomorrow, if it comes, will call
forth sultry phrases; let's weep and
gnash our toothless gums, and cuss
our luck like blazes." And you are
old, beyond your years, infrm through
out your body; your eyes are boiled in
scalding tears, and | am young and
gaudy. | am as clipper as colt, no
trouble will borrow; and if to-day
gives me jolt, I'm banking on to-
morrow. Tomorrow is the blamed
est day, the balm for all our bruises!
When man Shoes his belief away, all
hope and pep he loses. Oh, yesterday
made people cry, to-day we think is
sadder; to-morrow's stacking up so
high we reach it with a ladder. So
let us tin our tiresome tears, and can
our sobs and sorrow, and hang pink
tassels on our ears and bank on our

USE WOOD ASHES
FOR FERTILIZER

Many growers of garden truck are
today paying big prices for potash
fertilizers, while Missouri gardeners
are throwing away this same high
priced potash in the form of wood ash
es. If you insist on having fertiliz-
err with potash in it your fertilizer
dealer is at present compelled to
charge six dollars per unit for it,,
while every ton of ashes has from
three to eight units in very avail
able form. The day when every farm
had its lash hopper" where the ashes
were dumped and water poured
through them to leach out the potash
lye for making soft soap has almost
passed. Soaps can be bought so
cheaply now. The FASH hopper"
serves as an illustration of the fact,
however, that potash is very easily
leached out of ashes. Bear this in
mind when you are tempted to throw
wood ashes out into the back yard or
make walk of them. Carry them to
the garden or keep them under cover.
Besides the potash in them, ashes are
about one-third lime, which will help
to sweeten sour soil or make a clay
soil work better. Root crops are es-
pecially benefited by the use of pot
ash and large quantities are used in
certain potato growing centers.
One precaution must be observed in
applying ashes to a garden or field.
They are caustic and will burn the
leaves or stems Of plants if brought
into contact with them. 1t is better,
therefore, to apply the ashes before
planting and mix well with the soil
by cultivation. Thus diluted, they
are not harmful.
Ashes would not be considered as a
concentrated fertilizer, but should be
used in larger quantities than ordi-
nary fertilizers AS much as fifteen
hundred pounds per acre have been
applied with good results.
Coal ashes have little fertilizing
value, although they may make some
improvement in the working of a
heavy clay garden soil. Remember,
too, if you burn wood, that with pres
ent prices of potash it would cost
about thirty dollars to buy the potash
in ton of good unleached wood ashes.

SHEEP.-That the lamb trade has
not declined the present week, has
been due more to decided falling off
in receipts, rather than any improve
ment in the demand, offerings being in
limited enough supply to keep buyers
fairly interested, thus a fairly uni
form steady price level was main
tanned. However, fat sheep have been
more plentiful than usual, and it was
in this branch of the trade that the
only weakness was uncovered, offer
ings of this grade showing a net loss
of SOC per cwt. for the week. In 80
days at least, the summer movement
of sheep and lambs win be in full
sway, and we take occasion to recon-
mend the movement to market of all
stuff that is fat enough to interest
killers, but do not advise shipping of
habitat stuff.

Season has passed. If it is desired to

Years breeding they should be sepa-

throughout the summer. Several
rosters may be put in the same pen
without serious trouble. Unless the
rooster is unusually good he should
not be saved, as cockerels give better
fertility and better breeding service
than the old males, and the feed bill
for keeping the old birds will go a
long way toward buying a vigorous
cockerel this fall.
