THE Low COST OF RETAINING
HEALTH.

The Toronto Health Bulletin" has
a very interesting article on The Low
Cost of Health" which is copied be-
low: II
1T is gratifying to know when we
have forced upon us at every turn the
high cost of living, that 1t has not at
fected many of the necessaries in con-
nection with the cost of health. Many
of the most important things in con-
nection with maintaining good health
can be had for nothing.
1T does not cost anything to secure
an ample amount of fresh air In your
horne.
1T does not cost anything to take
walk in the open air, breathe prop
erly. keeping the body in an erect
posture.
ut does not cost anything to take a
few simple exercises every morning.
1T does not cost anything to chew
or masticate your food thoroughly
ct does not cost anything to select
the food best suited to your body re
quirements.
1T does not cost anything to clean
the teeth twice a day.
1T does not cost you anything to
stop using patent medicines.
And lastly, it does not cost you any
thing to have cheerful, happy dis
position, stop worrying and cut out
your grouches.
The foregoing are the essentials
for good health. 1t is not only a fact
that they cost nothing, but they will
aid in reducing the cost of living by
reducing your doctors bill and your
medicine bill

he says: As to devotion to the Bless
ed Virgin, 4 proposed the forming OF
Confraternities Of the Rosary, and
while Sunday should be the general
day for the devotion. l would have
different congregations fix on differ
ent days, so that each day the power
full intercession of the Blessed Virgin
might be invoked upon us and upon
our labors One Of my reasons for
preferring the Rosary, both for myself
and English Catholics, is what ordinar.
lily forms an objection to it. Pride,
when we come to pray, is our most
dangerous enemy, and 1 think no bet
ter security can be given against it
than to pray as the poor and ignorant
do. Do we, then, wish that God should
judge us by the standard of the wise
who know their duty, or by that of
the poor little ones? If by the latter,
why spurn the prayers instituted for
| them, and say, We will not use them,
but the. prayers better suited to the
learned? The Our Father was ap-
pointed and drawn up for men who
| said, Lord, teach us how to pray
1t is a prayer for the ignorant, as is
| the Rosary
In Catholic families where family
prayers is the custom the Rosary is
said every night, and in common.
There may be other prayers, and there
may be not; night prayers may be
said individually or in common, but
the Rosary is always there. The fam
lily Rosary, it would seem, has risen
to be an intergral part of Catholic
tradition.
| We see signs of better things for
the Church in America, the awaken
ing of the missionary spirit: the
meeting Of the Bishops, now prac-
tically an annual affair; and other
signs that are potent to the attentive
observer. We are rapidly leaving the
building-up stage. The pioneer period
is now almost wholly thing of the
past. Shall we rise to the dignity and
fullness of Catholic life as shown by
it's foremost opponents? If we wish
to do, so, the family Rosary every

The tradition in it's favor is too strong
to be lightly disregarded.
The prayerless home-that is one
danger in this age of worldliness and
materialism. The family prayer at a
fixed hour in the evening at which all
the members of the family are bound
to be present, is our safeguard. The
little ones will hear the Rosary before
they understand what it is: it was
in the house before they were born, be
fore they realized what it meant
They in their turn will teach it tt
their children. Thus the tradition i:
formed. BY adhering to the tradition
of the evening Rosary, or by creating
it where it does not exist, we shall
fall in line, we shall assimilate our
selves to the foremost opponents O
: traditional Catholic life.

A DOMESTIC CHAPEL.

A domestic chapel in England, dat
ing from ancient times, which has
never been used for Protestant wor-
ship, is brought into special prom
inence for Catholics by the recent pub
LEGATION of old time letters and papers
of the Stonors of Oxfordshire. This
event in connection with the publica-
ton of private correspondence of Eng.
lishmen during the late Middle Ages
is of special interest to Catholics.
The domestic chapel at Stonor,
where the Blessed Sacrament is now
reserved, dates from the year l349,
and the fact that it has never been
used for Protestant services gives it
an unusual place among such relics
of the old days. 81
The letters and papers now present
ed bear witness to the unity of the
faith which existed through the land
in the days to which they refer. They
point to some interesting features of
Catholic history in England.
Stonor Park still belongs to the
descendants of Sir John de Stonor,
who was Chief Justice of Common
Pleas, 1329-1354. The estate of the
manor of Stonor was in the occupa-
tion of Blessed Adrian Fortescue,
Knight of Malta, who was beheaded on
Tower Hill in 1889. He was the SON
in-law of Sir William Stonor.
The fact that Blessed Edmund Cam
pion came to Stonor at one time is
enough of itself to thrill Catholics who
know the history of Catholicism in
England in the stormy days of the re.
ligious disturbances. It was there, in
the lodge of Dame Cecilia Stonor, that
the printing of his famous "Decem
Rationes'' was superintendent, few
months before he was taken and exc
cuted.

NAMING THE CHILDREN.

When the time comes to Nchrfsten
the children, in the name of ell the
noble and the great Of Ireland, don't
plaster them with meaningless names.
Don't glue to your child name with
just as much character as squeezed
dishrag. The name by which your
child will be known through life, and
which will be carved on the tomb
stone for other generations to read,
is a symbol of the sense or the folly
of the parents. When the son Of Irish
parents is called Percy" and the
daughter "Gwendoline,' there 4, is
either some softening of the cerebel-
lum through over-indulgence in Eng.
lish novels or a wandering in the
paths of aliens. The generation that
will come after you has some rights
that ought to be respected. Among
these rights is that the parents should
teach the children the way they should
go. Give a boy good name. and. he
will go far because he has fair start:
Call a girl by name that has a
sweet Irish meaning, and her spirit
will bend toward the virtues of her
mother, enhancing her own happiness
as wife and mother, and adding
years Of joy to the happiness of her
husband and her children. Call boy
Patrick" and he will inevitably dis
cover, as he advances through the
years. that people expect him to stand
in his place because his name is a
badge of his race. Use the old
names. They have been made glori-
GUS on field and camp, court and par
lament, on sea and land, at work or
play, and they are as worthy to be
borne by the sons and daughters of
the race today as when they blazed
forth in immortality in the dawn! of
Irish history.

When far away amid strange scenes

And life will lead you through SO many

oh. tell me, will you ever think of ME?
Oh, tell me friend, could any distant

And have no thought, not even one

When you shall pass through glen or

Or rest beneath some lovely bloom

Or while you turn the pages of some

VIII all these blot out every thought

ORIGIN OF THE GAS JET.

A woman's thimble is said to have
been the means of suggesting the first
gas burner. William Murdoch, the in
ventor, first burned the gas simply
as fame from the end of pipe. 49,
One day in an emergency he wish
ed to stop the Illumination. Hurried
ly looking around for something,
Murdoch seized his wife's thimble
and thrust it over the light, which
was.immediately extinguished. There
was a strong odor of gas, however,
and the experimenter applied light
to the thimble, discovering that it was
full of holes, through which tiny jets
of flame appeared
4 The Importance of the result was
that the illumination from those two
or three tiny jets was much brighter
than had been given by the great fare
from the end of the pipe. Acting on
the principle which this chance dis
.cevery revealed. he constructed what
was known as the Cockspur burner.

INVENTOR OF THE LETTER-Box

The inventor of the letter-box was
Anthony Trollope, the novelist, who
was a surveyor of the post Office, in
England, from 1S41 to his retirement
from the service in 1867. One sure
way of arousing Trollope's ire was to
suggest that he neglected his post
Office work for the sake of his novels.
He took, as matter of fact, an in
tense pride in his official work, or, as
he put it, he had passion for letters.
In his autobiography he enumerated
various benefits for which the public
had cause to be grateful to him. First
came the arrangement by which the
people living in little villages could
buy postage stamps; secondly, the free
and early rural delivery, and the put
ting up of pillar or letter-collecting
boxes. Of that accommodation he
says: "In the streets and ways of
England l was the originator, having,
however, got the authority for the
erection of the first at st. Heller, in
jersey"

GET THE FIGHTING SPIRIT.

"Oh, l tell you, if every boy here
could only get this fighting spirit into
his soul right now, there would be a
powerful group of men in the world
in just few years." says the Cave
Scout in Boys Life, the Boy. Scout
Magazine, for March. But, if we are
going to get this fighting spirit we
must be very careful of little things.
DO any of you ever go into the
basement on Saturday morning say.
ing to yourselves: Now I'll carry out
that whole pile of ashes before noon? p
Well, you carry out a couple of cans
and then somebody whistles down the
alley. 'Shucks,' you say to yourself
L can just as well finish this up after
dinner And when you drop the ash
can and run out to meet your pal, that
old fighting spirit gets an awful wal.
lop.
Maybe the next day you run into
tough set of problems in arithmetic
You plug at them for while and
don't get any results, and then chuck
the book on the table, saying to your,
self: "Oh, Eli have plenty of time to
do those problems before class to
morrow Bingo. another wallop for
your fighting spirit.
This thing soon gets to be habit
and every. day it becomes harder for
you to finish up any job you may un
dertake.
Ten years from now you'll be cut
in the world working for yourselves
Some day your boss will say to you:
Tom, will you prove up this set of
books today, please?' You say, Yes,
sir and begin, but there is a mean
tangle in them somewhere, and after
plugging along for while your old
habits asserts itself and you say to
yourself: .I'll have plenty of time to
finish these up after dinner But aft
er dinner comes and the job is bigger
than you thought, and the work isn't
done when the boss comes around, and
the next day Bill gets the position
just ahead that you have been hoping
to land
Maybe that sounds kind of far
fetched, but it's true as truth, as thou
sands of men who have failed to
achieve much success i'm life will tes-
3tify.''
