BIGGER PRIZE THAN TIGER.

A singular tiger tale comes from a
village in Java, where the tigers had
been committing havoc for some time.
One day two contraband opium SNUG
glers, while passing through the forest
saw two tigers following them. They
were armed only with knives. and so
they ran as fast as they could, but the
tigers, as may be supposed, rapidly
gained on them. >.
When almost overtaken they spied
tiger trap, a sort of box-like affair,
and both gladly rushed in, carrying
their burdens with them. The trap
shut down very closely, but that
pleased them nightly, as they could
hear the tigers scratching and snarl-
ing on the outside. The night passed
in this way, and at dawn the tigers
scampered off and the smugglers es-
sayed to do likewise, but all their eff
forts were unavailing. They were in
trap, sure enough.
In a few hours the settlers came to
have a look at the trap, and rejoiced
to see it closed, thinking tiger had
been caught. Their joy was re-
doubled, however, when the prize
proved to be the unlucky smugglers
with valuable load of opium, and
the unlucky fellows were marched off
to Jail in triumph.

A REAL FRANCISCAN.

Franciscans love poverty and choose
it out of love for their Divine Master
and of their Seraphic Father In the
foreign field they get real taste OF
it. Father Noye, of the Hupeh mis-
sion, says:
LET me tell you about the hovel
that we call our church. When my
predecessor bought it, there were two
pagan families occupying it, together
with their idols, their pigs and their
cattle! In this section of the country
where thieves abound on every side,
the poor people are obliged to keep
their domestic animals in their sleep
ing rooms at night, for fear of their
being stolen. You can imagine the
condition of affairs, with human be-
ings and animals all huddled in to-
gether into one room, which serves
both as sleeping apartment and din
ing room.
yet it is in one of these wretched

CANARY BIRD JOINS CHILDREN IN
SINGING.

Canaries of the city's South Side
have been trying to do their Bit for
missions, as is shown by unique hap
pening in the sixth grade school room
of st. Margarets parish, says the St.
Louis Globe Democrat. Last Monday
morning, while the children were
chanting a little hymn with which
they commence the day, windows be-
ing wide open, the nun who is their
instructor was amazed to hear flute
like singing above their heads. A
singing canary had flown in at the
window and was rivaling the chill
dren, just as the little birds of the
forest used to sing to st. Francis of
Assist
Now, these school children of st.
Margaret's had for some time been
reading of the Sodality of ST. Peter
Claver for the African missions, and
of the baptismal offering of $500 by
which negro child is cared for dur
ing four to six months at the mission
school preceding his baptism.
Immediately the canary was Gagged
by the children, and when they
scanned the Lost and Found
column, the owner of the bird was

enlargement is needed on the work of
the precious silk-worm-a native of
China which is now raised here also.
Commercial shellac is obtained by
melting lac, the resinous substance
produced by an East Indian scale in
sect and deposited in crust on twigs
to contain the insect and it's eggs.
The export value of lac from Indian
ports in one year has risen as high
as 100000 rupees. Lac has also
been used to make dyes, but while the
lac industry is a growing one, the en-
ployment of lac in making dyes has
probably had it's day. The best lac is
obtained from Bengal and the central
province of India. 1t is also used as
stiffening for hats, sealing wax, as an
ingredient of photographic ink, in cleo
trical work and in the manufacture of
gramophone records.

PERSONALITY COUNTS.

What is personality? 1t is COM

persons repel us-to others we are
strongly and instinctively drawn-and
often the reasons for the repulsion
or the attraction battle analysis. Ger
tain vulgar and disagreeable traits at
once establish some whom we meet as
undesirable-with others the qualities
that are distasteful are more subtle.
and for space of time they may be
hidden, till some accident brings them
out. Commonly, we learn to care for
those who, in an amiable sincerity,
manifest an affectionate solicitude
toward us. Most of the world is i'm
personal. 1t deals us ruthless hard
knocks. 1t does not ask us how we
like to be treated, and when it has
bowled us over and bruised us it does
not call at our door to inquire how we
are this morning. 1t maintains Cor

that seems to display a genuine con-
Germ in our goings, one to whom We
seem valuable-so that we become
once more of value to ourselves.
A personality that makes itself
count ardently and lastingly in other
lives and for the worlds well-being is
too high for spite, too noble for mean,
small ways, too genuine for intrigue
and innuendo, and too faithful to sac

honesty and directness of dealing can
win lasting attachment.

THE STORY OF LITTLE
MARGUERITE.

Sister Mary Donatienne sends from
Taikou, Corea, a story which shows
that customs obtain in Corea, similar
to those in China. The superfluous
girl baby fares badly in both countries.
The Sister says:
Our house is in the country where
the birds sing sweetly and the spring
brings beautiful flowers to deck the
fields. One June morning took some
of the little girls and went to work on
our rice farm. We had been busy
some time when one of them came
running to me, carrying something in
her arms. The others followed in
commotion. | could not imagine what
she had found, and on examining the
bundle what was my surprise to see a
tiny infant less than a month old. Its
body was blue with the cold and it
could scarcely utter a cry.
Poor baby cried the girls. Luck
lily, the dogs or the pigs did not find
it during the night, or they would
have devoured it. Then they added
with interest: What shall you do
with it, Sister,"
"'Do with it?' | replied. Why,
baptize it and give it to the Lord first,
and if it lives, it will grow up among
you. And now run away and see if
you can not find another baby hidden
under a lettuce leaf
"The child was duly baptized, re-

grew strong and we'll and now shows
no sign of her cruel experience in the
rice fields"

WATER, WATER EVERYWHERE

After reading the following account
of apostolic work in Sierra Leone, we
do not wonder that the missionary's
days are numbered:
I'VE go out on alternate days on
our visitations of the villages" writes
the head Of the station. mo white
man could go every day. Motor cars,
bicycles, horses or even the hammock,
so common in Freetown, are all use
less here. To work in our mission
you must be a good walker and good
swimmer. Even during the dry season
there is only one of our towns that can
be visited on foot. To visit the others
we have to cross sometimes two or
three swamps. On an average, during
a three hours walk, we have to spend
from a quarter to three-quarters of
an hour in mud and water waist-high."

from the garden of the Tuileries amid
an immense concourse of spectators.
The gentlemen were to fire not at
each other but at each others bal
looms, in order to bring them down by
escape of gas. Each duellist took
with him not a pistol but gun. At
a given signal the ropes that retained
the cars were cut and the balloons
assembled. The wind was moderate
and left the balloons at their required
distance of eighty yards apart.
When about half mile above the
earth preconcerted signal was given.
M. LIE Pique fired, but missed, then
NJ. de Grandpre fired, and sent a ball
through his opponents balloon. The
balloon collapsed, the car descended
with frightful rapidity, and M. LIE
Pique and his second were dashed to
pieces. De Grandpre continued his
ascent triumphantly and terminated
his aerial voyage successfully at dis
lance of seven leagues from Paris.

A WORD FROM THE COLORED
MISSIONS.

Mgr. Burke, director of colored mis-
Sions, writes as follows:
In behalf of the colored missions
of the United States, | wish to state
that the growth is far and away be-
yond the proportions due to the means
at our disposal The school is a lever
age by which the colored people are
being elevated and Influenced by our
holy faith.
quote letter of one of the Sisters
teaching in Mississippi to show the
primary needs in some of our schools:
80 Sister, if we only had diction-
airy something like that big Webster
l saw the other day in one of the
Baptist schools This was the morn
ing greeting of one of our boys Of the
high school class. And this is the
petition l venture to present to you
asked for it, but the purse of the rev.
erend pastor is always low. There are
so many needs to be considered that
my big Webster always comes last,
that means never"
"The same lack is felt in regard to
literature. Our children are, SO to
say, often driven to read harmful
books, because they like to read, and
will read indiscriminately, if nothing
else is offered them. Many of our chill
dren, even Catholics were poisoned by
the scandalous atmosphere in books
like The Devil in the Church, etc.
From such books they derive such
foolish notions as that the different
religious orders are nothing but diff
ferent sects of the church, one fight
ing another; the one fighting for the
White Spirit the other for the Black
Spirit Books like Faith of Our Fa-
Tiers and Answers to Questions and
Objections The Spanish Inquisition,
How Johnny was Baptized would be
very appreciated by the Sisters"
At l Madison avenue, New York
City, the Catholic Board of Missions
work among the colored people, would
be very glad to send to these poor
schools any good Catholic books, or
any other good books, that are being
shelf-worn, even if they be somewhat
out of date. To buy new literature
for all these schools would be very
costly. We are sure that many Cath
Ollie people have books already read
and lying in their library, the room
of which would be valuable. Kindly
send them to 1 Madison avenue, New
York City, and we will set them to
work for God and His Church.

THE PATRON SAINT OF PRIS-
ONERS.

Under the heading, "The Patron
number of Good Words" which is
published monthly at the United
States penitentiary, Atlanta, Ca,
with the approval of the Department
of Justice, "for the encouragement
and educational advantage of the pris-
oners," has succinct and well writ
ten biographical sketch of ST. Vim
cent de Paul, by u. F. B." On an
other page, under the same initials is
the following beautiful poem, which
is entitled Eyes of the Dawn" but
which might also be not unappropri-
ately called THE Cry of a Prisoner s
Heart"
When the gray of the dawn steals
into my cell,
And the night of oblivion dies.
Oh, wish that the power were mine
to tell
What my heart in it's anguish cries ;
For the baby lips that are pressed
against mine,
And the baby hands soft on my
face,
They are gone when l lift my arms
to entwine,
There is only-the empty space
And a sunbeam perhaps that stole
through the bars
From the blue of the morning skies,
But the sun | would give and the
moon and the stars
For the light in my baby's eyes.
And the memory of the pink little
And the baby lips, rose-ripe and red,
Is the heaviest chain in my shadow
land
Where the tears of longing are
shed.
And he comes to me at the dawn of
each day
AS he did in the past with smile,
When he crawled from his crib to
where daddy lay
To be playing with me for while
With the laughing eyes and the
Indian yell,
He was sure l would wisely heed,
When he thought it was time for the
breakfast bell,
And his 'tummy" was ready for
feed.
When l open my eyes-it is only to
find
He is gone with his baby pirate;
Between me and him are the years
of grind
And the bars of an iron CRATE.
And never again shall the light in his
eyes
Be the ray of my dawns as of
yore-
When the years of my thraldom
behind me lie,
He will be a baby no more.

INSECT PRODUCTS OF VALUE.

We have many insect products of
no small value. Most familiar are
honey and wax from the bee
There is also a Chinese bug which
secretes kind of grease on various
trees. This hardens into wax, and is
collected, melted and purified, when it
becomes white and glossy in appear
ance, and when mixed with oil can be
made into candles. The cochineal, a
scale insect living on cacti in the
American tropics, besides having medi-
cinal qualities. yields the two dyes
called carmine and lake. While now
adays most dyes are chemically made,
the natural dye of the cochineal is
employed in coloring soldiers uni
forms, as 1t stands the weather bet

pae of a Mexican black fly which
swarms in great quantities near Lake

chimneys which have been proclaimed
as 1.-The tallest in the world but the

MARRIED SCHOOL CHILDREN OF
INDIA.

Father S. V. Haaren, S. j., the zeal
Gus Missionary of Raghabpur ben
gaD, has one of the most flourishing
schools in Bengal, but he has not
come to the end of his surprises, as
the following quotation from one of
his recent letters will show:
my little Bengalese are fine fell
lows, and l have some $50 of them
ranging from the A. B. C. class to the
married gentlemen in the top class.
Yes, some of them are married,
though you would not believe it were

wives. | was somewhat upset when
lately a boy of some twelve years
came to ask me for 'chhutty' Qeave)
"'Why?' quoth 1.
/; "T want to go and see my mother
in-law; she is ill.,
have got a wife? How did you come
by that?'
"'Father, she is still very small, like
this : and he stretched out his
hand to the height of table"
But there is a tragic side to the boy
bridegrooms of Raghabpur. For them
the ration question, too. is acute. ''The
little fellows" says Father Haaren,
already know by heart the four fun
damental rules of their Alma Mater:
study hard, play well, pray much, and
would you believe it?-for it causes
me a pang each time | repeat the
fourth rule-'eat we'll! For | know
how poorly fed they are, and how often
they have to do without their neces-
sary daily rice. One must have lived
among them to know the wretched-
ness of these natives"
