"JoHN" THE. FAvoRITE NAME.

John Is the most common given, or
Christian name we have. It's history
is curious 1t came originally from
the Hebrew Jehohannen, God is graci-
GUS" The Greeks made it Johanan.
and in the feminine it became Anna
and Hannah. The name was unknown
in Saxon England and was seldom used
among the Normans. In the Dooms-
day book, the record of the inhabitants
of England which William the Con-
queror had compiled, only two Johns
are listed, and one of them is a Dane.
The German form is Hans, and
sometimes Johan. From these we
have the surnames Hanson and Jo-
hanson. The diminutiye is found in
Hanks, Hankin, Hankinson, Jankin,
Jenkins, Jensen, and Jennings. Shane
is the Irish form of John and Jean
the French Considering the popular
ity of the name John and the fact
that at this time it was spelled
jon and pronounced ."Jone," the
size of the Jones family will be ex-
planned. The name means "son of
John" John Johns is found in almost
every community.

ODD MINUTES.

Some young people have too many
odd minutes. Our days should be
planned so carefully that we shall not
have too much leisure orv our hands
The student who has four or five hours
day to fill as he pleases, or the work
er whose evenings are all free are not
likely to make the best use of their
time. If we wait for the inspiration of
the minute, we are very likely to dis.
cover that we do not feel like doing
the things best worth while.
You mean to do some improving
reading in your odd minutes. But as
you sit down in the evening, with the
newspaper at your elbow, and a pop.
ular magazine with resplendent
cover. lying in full view, it is quite
easy to decide that you will wait till
tomorrow before starting in on the
History of Civilization. But if you
have made an arrangement with a
number of friends to meet once a
week to do some solid reading, when
the appointed evening comes, you keer
your engagement and do the reading
You get something accomplished:
We need variety We need recrea
ton. But by planning for both, We
get better results than if it is all hit
or-miss. Most of us have too many
odd minutes. too many hours set apar,
for nothing in particular.

After few minutes conversation he
invited ne to his room. Oysters and
champagne? No. A game of nap!
No A whole family, three generations
of them, were gathered into the faith
er's bedroom. They we're saying their
night prayers before retiring for the
night. The aged grandmother was re
citing the first decade of the Rosary
as we entered. We knelt. When she
had finished she looked around and
said, "Alice, go on" Alice was tiny
tot of seven summers. She promptly
took up the recitation, repeated the
form Of meditation as found in the
Catholic prayer books, and slowly and
sweetly gave out the decade to the
end. The grandmother looked around
again and called out, Go on, Willie.
Willie was the father, grey-haireG
man of fifty-seven. In the mothers
imagination he was still but the child
she had carried in her arms half a cen
fury ago. Willie finished, and the
aged mistress of ceremonies called
out, now grand-child, now the moth

dren kissed goodnight and depart

CHRIST'S IMAGE.

In the city of Naples the annual fair
was in progress. Along one of the
streets, dealer in images had set up
his booth and displayed images of
various kinds, of animals and of men,
Among them was also the image of
the crucified redeemer solitary one
Countless crowds patronized the booth
and bought the effigies of princes,
diplomats, generals, as we'll as of
domestic and foreign, tame and wild
animals. But the image of the Cruel
fed, none bought. No one asked for
il, although it was cheap. Finally, it
alone remained. A blind man then
appeared, led by boy, along the
street. The lad stood still and con-
tenlplated the neglected, remaining
image. Joseph" inquired the blind
man, why art thou standing here so
long?"-"Alas, Alas" responded the
youth, there remains here an image
of the dear Savior, entirely alone,
while the people have bought all the
others. What may be the price of
the image?" the blind beggar asked
the dealer. AS it was not high in
price he bought it with his begged
money. eff everybody is buying his
IDOL" he remarked, then l shall buy
my God" but old man." mockingly
observed the dealer, thou canst not
however see Him. "-"Oh, yes, can,
though retorted the blind beggar
1.-THE blind one-see Him; but the
seeing-ones see Him not"
This is striking remark for our
times The world takes interest in
everything, but only not in God and
Christ; it coldly passes by His image
and is blind to His glory and power
