They came at us out Of the dark like

pictures I've seen Of men from Mars,
for their heads were covered with the
most evil looking masks that anybody
could imagine, masks with huge round
eyes and long, piggish shouts. Shells

guns were tearing through their ranks
and their masks were white and ghast-

THE LADY POVERTY IN INDIA.

From the Diocese of Simla, India,
have come some snapshots which
are an eloquent sermon on the poverty
of that mission and it's great need for
even the smallest aims. The pictures
show the structures that pass for
dwellings in Simla, and which are
used alike by animals and people.
Upon four rough posts is laid straw
roof, and that is the home, in sum
mer and winter. Beneath the thatch
the poor Christians, men, women, chill
dren and such livestock as the family
may possess huddle together, and here
the missionary sits when he pays his
apostolic visits.
And the priests house? A small
hut used as chapel, living room, sleep,
ing room and all other apartments as
they are needed.
The snapshots were sent to the Ma
tional Office of the S. P. F., by Rev
Plus Lyons, o. M. Cap, who finds the
most absolute Franciscan poverty in
the field of Simla. But such poverty
restraints the growth of religion and
the Father would like some offerings
without any restriction-free gifts to
be used at his discretion among his
needy flock.

GREAT WORK OF THE MARIS7
BROTHERS OF THE SCHOOLS
IN CHINA.

The Marist Brothers are the only
Brothers in China proper;
they must not be confused with the
Brothers of Mary or Marianist Broth
ers, who conduct very successfully
several large colleges in Japan, and
whose American headquarters are at
Dayton, Ohio, whilst theirs are at
Poughkeepsie, New York.
The pioneers, six French Brothers,
sailed for China on March 8, 1891.
Their Superior, the late Bro. Marie
Candide, died of typhus in May, 1895.
The first post was the Franco
Chinese College near the Nantang
Church, in Picking.
Schools and colleges have since
been opened in Tientsin, Shanghai,
Hankow, Wuchang, Canton, Marking,
Shefoo, Ningpo and other important
cities. The standard maintained in
all these institutions is the highest
and though some of the classes were
closed during the war, it is hoped all
will soon again be in operation.
Altogether there are ninety-five Eu
ropean and thirty-two Chinese Broth
ers, and about two thousand five hun
dred boys in the Marist schools in
China.

THE HIGH COST OF PRINTING A
NEWSPAPER.

Bishop De Clerc, of Upper Kassai.
West Africa, has achieved printing
press and for time he launched a lit
tie paper called Nikuruse-the Cross.
This was gotten out in the native lam
guage of his Christians and put before
them various religious topics in a man
ner that held the interest of it's read
ers. In fact they awaited each issue
eagerly, for newspaper all their own
was novelty. ~
Not long ago the cost of paper began
to soar in Africa as elsewhere and the
poor Nikuruse suspended publication
The grief of the Christians and also
of Mgr. De Clerc is profound. Those
ofsus in the u S., who have had some
experience in the high cost of printing
will sympathize and perhaps practice
self-denial and send an offering to the
Bishop. Life without reading matter
is blank even in Africa and a few
dollars will suffice to set the little
printing machine in Upper Kassai
humming again.

CHILDREN ARE THE BEST CATH.

Rev. ]. A. Zandvliet, NJ S. c., in
sending report of the work of his
Order in the Province of Suriagao, P.
l., adds some remarks that show the
general condition prevailing all over
the Philippines. He says:
Comparing the numbers OF this re.
port with those of last year, it appears
that in some respects we are in adj
vance, while in others we are behind
last year. The number of Commun
ions issstiIl increasing, but not so many
people as last year performed their
Easter duty. The large number OF
Holy Communions is principally due
to the children of the Catholic schools
These are the best practicing Catho
lies. The older people are still more
slow in understanding. They stick tc
their old ways of devotion and prob
ably the greater part of them viii
never be brought to frequent or daily
Communion

INFORMATION REGARDING THE
CONGREGATION OF THE MIS-
sloNARY SISTERS OF OUR LADY
OF LYONS.

AS American young ladies are be-
ginning to join the missionary con-
gregations working in the Dark Con-
tinent, this specific information re-
garding the White Sisters may be
timely.
The Congregation, known as The
White Sisters, was founded by Car
dinal Lavigerie in Algiers in 1869, as
a complement to the White Fathers
Society. The aim of these Sisters is
exclusively missionary and exclusive
ly for Africa. This Congregation is
governed by Superior General, who
depends directly on the Holy See. 1t
has no centers in Europe except Pro-
cures and the necessary houses of pro-
baton for Aspirants or Postulants.
The latter always go through their
noviceship at Saint Charles Mother
House, located in the suburbs of AL
giers, North Africa. There are no lay
Sisters in this institute, each and all
are employed according to their
strength and aptitudes. After two
years trial, the Novices take theil
first vows. The annual vows are re
newed during the first five years
after this period the Sisters may be
admitted to their perpetal engage
ment. They undergo second proba
ton on the active life in Northern AT
RIGA to complete their religious ant
practical training before being sent tt
Central Africa. The means of exist
ence have been greatly facilitated
since the railway has been inaugural
ed in East Africa and elsewhere
Many sanitary improvements as wei
as personal experience have overcome
the dreadful fevers of by-gone days.
The natives treat the Sisters witt
every mark of respect and life is ia
from being unbearable in this part o
the mission world. There is Postu
late at Lewis, Canada.
