LORD eEREsFoRp WAS WAS BE-

The simple announcement came
from London yesterday that Lord

gallantry won him new honors. He

rescue Gen. Gordon. He commanded
his sailors in the battles OF. Abu Klea,
Abu Kru, and Metemmeh. He led the
expedition which rescued Sir Charles
| Wilson's party in the "Safia," for
| which Parliament commended him for
gallantry. The French government
thanked him for his assistance to the
grounded "Seignalay."
Many foreign governments, as well
as his own, bestowed medals upon the
Admiral for gallantry. But of them
all, he felt most proud of those which
were given to him for leaping over
board at high sea to rescue shipmates
! Three times was he thus honored.
Lord Beresford believed in naval
strength as the only security for
peace.
"The main point for the content

world is peace he declared peace
is absolutely essential"
In his globe trotting, he frequently

of priests in distant America, and
how, for that reason, countless immor-

solved to offer himself for the work
of preaching the Gospel to the pagans
Of America.
He labored first in Guatemala, com

awaited him there, but he worked
valiantly for the Texas missions and
he was greatly beloved. His cause
was introduced at Rome, and the
examinations resulted in the declara

that Father Margil had practised the

other virtues, in a heroic degree

HAVE VARIETY IN READING.

Valuable as is the habit of reading
in itself, perils Turk beneath its at
tractive surface for those who do not
realize the Importance of exercising
discretion in selection. This refers
not to the quality of the books, but to
their nature. Control of the appetite
is as important in the consumption of
books as it is of food, and abuse in
either case produces similar results.
Variety is the spice of reading as it is
of life. To gorge oneself on an over
dose of history, philosophy, or biog-
raphy is as discriminating as to devote
ones reading time to effervescent fc-
ton. A trained mind selects volumes
which in the aggregate prove an in
centive to thought and action. even
though individual volumes serve only
to relax.

VALENclENNES IN HISTORY.

Valenciennes is the Roman Valen-
tiana and came to France by the
treaty of Nimeguen in 1878. Before
that it had been the capital of small
principality. Later it passed into the
hands of the counts of Hainault, suf-
fered and resisted sieges by Margaret
of Hainault, Louis XI, Turenne and
the Spaniards. In 1898, after 43 days
bombardment, the garrison, reduced
to 5000 men, surrendered to the allied
forces numbering some 100000 or
10000 men with 400 cannon. The
town played a small part in the peace
of Cambria, called the Ladies
Peace" in honor of the princesses
who, while at Valenciennes in the six
teenth century, negotiated the peace
there between Charles V and Fran
els I.

WHY WILL SHOULD BE EXER-
CISED.

There is only one way to keep the
will active, and that is by exercising
it. The will is like the muscles, for
even the finest of athletes soon gets
out of condition unless he exercises.
A man ought to do every day some
thing that he does not care to do,
just for the sake of exercising his
will. That sort of exercise keeps it
in condition, ready for the harder
things of life when they occur, and,
above all, prepared for emergencies
that may spring up. The doctrine of
preparedness is much better under
stood now than it was at the begin
ming of last year. 1t is as true for
the individual as the nation. 1t may
cost a good deal of time and energy
and money, but it saves in the end.

HOA, THE HEAVENLY QUEENS
LITTLE SPINNER.

Sister Marie de Ste. Rosalie, Fran
ciscan Missionary of Mary, working
in the Province of Central Chensi,
China, sends this pretty little story:
One day a cart drew up at the con-
vent door of Tung-yuan-fang and from
it descended and were greeted with
loving welcome tWentv-fOur little or
phan-girls and cast-aways.
The stage of infancy had been
PASSED under the care of kind nurses,
and now they were embarking on a
rev experience. With the fatalistic
resignation of Chinese they submitted
to be led in, doubtful and apprehen-
sive, not knowing that the Orphanage
was to be to them a haven of safety.
The poor little things, not yet seven
Years old, chung to each other like the
featherless brood in nest. The
eldest alone, with her frank and open
countenance, smiling a sweet smile,
showed no fear or hesitation; she en-
tered the house of the Lord like a
child returning to it's fathers man
sion.
Asked: What did you do, my child,
! before coming here?" L spun;' she
| replied. 1t was all that was ever
known of her past history. She was
placed in the spinning-hall and sur
passed older girls by the beauty of
her work.
Why" asked one day one of the
bigger girls, do you spin so fast and
seem in such a hurry?"
Il spin for my aunt $50 she called
the Directress of the Orphanage), who

The other girl was a Christian

Obeying an inspiration of her Angel
| Guardian the older girl continued:
You do well to work for your aunt
! but if you were to work for the
Blessed Virgin she would give you
after death far more precious gifts
than food and clothing
The little spinner was silent, but
she cast her beautiful eyes on the
image of Mary, who from the end G.
the hall presides over and blesses thu
work of her children. 1t was a crisis
| in her life-the grace that is giveT

the Heavenly Queens spinner. Al
sordiness and lowness would disap
rear from her life. The earth's cast
away would become the Heavenl!
Queens little spinner.
The next day the Mother Directress
l entered the hall to inspect the wor'
of the children Hoa approached full
of mystery, and suddenly drew from
under her sleeve three bobbins o

cLoUDBURST IN SCOTLAND.

A cloudburst recently in the
Mourne mountains, at the upper side
of Pigeon Rock, on the part known
as the Green stream, about five miles
from Kilkeel, Scotland. 1t struck the
face of the mountain on about a
thirty-fve yards width, with the re-
suit that several thousand tons of
rock, gravel, moss, and sand were
swept into the White Water river
with such force that it's banks burst
in many places for a long distance,
doing considerable damage to crops
along the bed of the river. Besides
that a number of sheep were lost.
Such an occurrence has not hap
pened before in the district in the
memory of the oldest inhabitant.

EGGSHELL BY NO MEANS
FRAGILE.

Nature executed a wonderful piece
of workmanship when she put the
shell around the egg. Most of us
have an idea that the shell is fragile.
It is-sometimes; but scientists have
established the fact that the average
pressure under which white eggs
break is 112 pounds, says Popular
Science Monthly. Strange to say,
brown eggs are stronger than whole
ones. 1t takes a pressure averaging
1915 pounds to break them, the mini
mum being 125 pounds, and. the maxi
mum It's pounds. When it is consid-
cred that the thickness of an average
eggshell is 013 and the diameter of
the egg IA inches, some idea may be

ENCOURAGEMENT FOR
AUTHORS.

A writer in La Revue has made a
study OF the number of books that
fail, and arrives at the following re-
suits: OF 1000 books that are pub
lished, 500 do not pay their expenses;
200 just cover their cost; 100 shows a
slight profit; and only 100 are really
profitable Of the 1000 books $50
may be considered dead at the end of
a year, $50 more at the end of three
years, so survive for seven; of the re-
mainder barely dozen are heard of
twenty years after their appearance.
Not much encouragement in this for
budding authors.
