SPELLING GAME.

This is game for clever girls and
boys. The first player begins a word
which he does not tell, starting with
A, the second player adds a letter
and all the other players do so in
turn. The player ending word
drops out or pays a forfeit.
Suppose the first player says T.
the second r, the third E. Now comes
the critical moment; if the fourth
player says E, he finishes a word
Tree. But if he is clever he will say
A, and then the fifth player may say
T. But he need not do so, as he can
say S, leaving the next player to say
U. Then the next might say R, and
the next E, which would end the word
Treasure. If the eighth player is
clever, however, he will say instead
of E, so that the tenth player must
make the word Treasuring or Treas
urieS.
The great point of the game is to
keep up a word as long as possible
but, of course, some words must end
No proper names are allowed and il
is best not to count words of three
letters. The game should be played
through from A to 2. the first word
beginning with A, the second B, and
so on.

NoBoDY's KITTY.

''Nobody's Cat has white head,
ears, neck and paws, which made her
look as though she wore hood, cape
and mittens. She lived in the garden
below Dicks dining room and used to
get most that she ate from the pals
set for kitchen scraps in the back
yards.
Sometimes Dick used to throw
down bits of meat, and when she
heard the window open or shut, if she
was nowhere in sight he was sure to
see her running to get the food.
She used to curl up among the dry
leaves around the roots of 4 tree
and go to sleep. On cold mornings
when she saw anyone sitting ashes
she waited until they went into the
house. Then she jumped on the ash
can and sat on the hot ashes to warm
her toes.
One day Dick went down to pick
up a napkin for his mother. NO
body" had just caught a mouse and
started to run away as if she thought
he was going to drive her off. He
said, Nice pussy to catch the rogue
that creeps into the closets and nib
bles crackers!' Then she lay dowr
again letting the MOUSE crawl lit

AS STRONG AS AN ANT.

Charles likes to tell of his accom-
plishments. Not long ago he was
talking to Henry and Dave, and
Dawes cousin, Frank, saying:
Il carried fifteen pounds of sugar
home for my mother. this morning and
l wasn't bit tiredlDis
How much do you weigh,
Charles?' asked Frank, quiet studi-
Gus boy visitor, who was getting
weary of the boasting that Charles in
dulged in so often.

pounds" he said, wondering at the
question.
"Humph,' replied Frank Il thought
So"
"What did you Think" asked
Charles, growing red in the face.>
You're not as strong as an ant

How dye make that out? I'm
stronger than a thousand ants; look

'Would you compare yourself with

Frank.

EWES APPLE.

A fruit supposed to bear the mark
of Ewes teeth is one of the many
botanical curiosities of Ceylon. The
tree on which it grows is known by
the significant name of ''the forbid.
den fruit" or Ewes apple tree"
The blossom has very pleasant
scent, but the really remarkable fea-
ture of the tree, the one to which it
owes it's name, is the fruit. 1t is
beautiful, and hangs from the tree in
a peculiar manner.
Orange on the outside and deep
crimson within, each fruit has the ap.
pearance of having had a. piece bit.
ten out of it. This fact, together with
its poisonous quality, led the NOLAN.
medan to represent it as the forbid
den fruit of the Garden of Eden and
to turn men against it.
The mark upon the fruit is attri.
buted to Eve. Why the bite of Adam
did not also leave it's mark is not
known, but as only one piece seems
to be missing, it's loss is ascribed to
the woman.

LAY RETREAT LEAGUE
NEW YORK ORGANIZATION ls
ccESSFUL-SEEkS TO Ex-
80 TEND WORK.

(By N. CIV. @. News Service.)
Extension of, the work of the Lay
mems League for Retreats and Social
Studies to the principal centers OF
population in the eastern section OF
the country is the aim Of the officers
of that organization, which for the
past ten years has been doing effective
work in New York.
The ideal of the Laymen's League is
the establishment of strong mill
tant lay apostolate through the prac
tice of annual spiritual retreats and
the training of corps of competent
writer's and lecturers who will spread
a sound knowledge of social facts and
of Christian principles in the light OF
which these facts may be interpreted
and their problems find adequate so
luton.
The League has taken for its guild
ing principle the words of Bishop Ket
tier:
eff we wish to know our age We
must endeavor to fathOm the Social
question. lQ6 Ildu WHO uuucl Status
that knows his age; the man who does
not understand it, finds the present
and the future are an enigma. 1t is
the giant task of our age to fill up the
abyss that divides the. rich from the
poor, and woe to us if it is not filled
up"
Retreats are given each weekend
from Friday evening to Monday morn
ing at the House of Retreats at Mount
Manresa, New York City. j
Present plans are for the holding
of two general conferences each yeal
at which all the groups will meet, tt
exchange views and experiences, ane
to adopt such common measures as
will promote more effectively the
work.
During the past year the League
held thirty retreats at Mount Manre
sa. attended by 1850 retreatants ant
eight retreats for laymen in exten
sion work, attended by 1913.
Archbishop Patrick J. Hayes is thu
honorary president of the organlza
ton.

HEAD OF CHRIST CARVED ON
POD OF FLORIDA BEAN.

The head of Christ carved on the
concave pod of Florida bean, with
half the outer shell of the bean form
ing frame for it, is being shown by
Mrs: Oliver Hartman to her friends
at her home in New York, and is at
tracing much attention. This bit of
carving, which Was the handiwork of
a man awaiting death in a Guatemala
prison, has been praised by artists
and churchmen as an almost perfect
specimen of artistry.
Mrs. H. Willis McFadden, who, with
Mrs. Hartman, is custodian of the
carving, says that Cardinal Gibbons
pronounced it the most exquisite
thing of the kind he had ever seen.
The late Bishop Burch of the Epis-
copal Church also declared it a fine
portrayal of Christs face. 1t is neces'
sary to use microscope to perceive
the dellcacy of the carving and OBJ.

it now resembles yellow ivory.
The prisoner who carved the head
left it as last message to his family
They retained it as souvenir fol

part payment of debt. 1t finally
passed into many different hands
!, coming at last into Mrs. McFadden's
possession.

WHY BUTTONS ARE ON MEMS
COAT SLEEVES.

Why the buttons on mems coat
sleeves? A tailor explains it this way.
Buttons on coat sleeves are
strangely linked with the improve
ment in mans personal hygiene.
Years ago as you'll remember, men
trotted around all dolled up in silk
pants and fluffy waists that would
make women's styles of this day and
age look mossbacked.
"On each mans sleeve was a long
lace cuff that Topped about in much
the same fashion as the flapper's un-
buckled galoshes do now on a rainy
day. Obviously such cuffs often i'm
terfered with the courtier's salaams,
and so some court tailors had the
happy idea of putting buttons on the
sleeves to button the cuffs back when
said beau brummel took off his coat

ROBERT BRUCE'S HEART RE
PORTED FOUND IN MELROSE
ABBEY.

An old Catholic story of high ro-
nance has flashed it's splendor across
these dreary days of war indemnities
and reparations. The Heart of the
Bruce has been discovered in fair
Melrose-or, rather, a heart has been
found which is believed to be that of
Robert the Bruce, King of Scotland.
The story of Bruce's Heart is one
of the most stirring of medieval ro-
mances. Robert Bruce lay dying at
Cardross, and his last moments were
saddened by the thought that he had
failed to fulfil his VOW of making a
pilgrimage to the Holy Sepulchre.
So, as he lay dying, King Robert call
ed to his side the Lord James Doug
las, and commanded that after his
death his body should be laid in the
Abbey of Dunfermline, but that his
heart should be extracted and embalm-
ed and borne against the Saracens
until finally it should find a resting
place in the Church of the Holy
Sepulchre in Jerusalem.
Alphonso, the Christian King of
f., Leon and CASTLE, was then in arms
against Osmyn the Saracen King of
Granada. And on the plains of An
dalusia the Lord James Douglas, with
his knights and his twenty-six squires,
found the fight going hard against them.
At last they were overcome by the
| Moors, and Douglas, tearing from his
bosom the golden casket containing
the Bruce's Heart, flung it into the
ranks of the oncoming Moors, crying
| Coward, as thou vert wont, thou
brave heart. Douglas will follow
thee"
Then the Douglas charged into the
| midst of the Moors, and was cut
down, perishing in battle.
According to tradition, the Heart of
the Bruce was recovered by Sir Will
liam Keith, who carried it back to
Scotland, where it was buried under
the high altar of the Cistercian Alb
hey of Melrose. This is the story of
the Heart of the Bruce.
| Among the ruins of Melrose there
is stone let into the remains of the
high altar, which tells how Bruces
Heart was buried in this spot. Re
Gently some excavations have been
carried out in the ruins, and there
/ has been found leaden casket, in
which was enclosed human heart
1t is this which is said to be the
Scots Kings heart, though anti
i quarians are by no means agreed that
i such is the case. The discovery was
made in spot removed from the site
of the high altar. and the leaden cas-
ket is thought to be opposed to the
old tradition that the heart was en-
closed in a burial casket of silver, ani

kATHALEEN NJ HoULlHAN.
written for The Catholic Bulletin by
DR.. James Henderson,

o Kathaleen Nj Houlihan
You're ever young they say,
And sometimes you are grieving
And sometimes you are gay.
Yes, sometimes tbs the merry side,
And sometimes it's the tear,
But always, Oh sweet Kathaleen,
You have your troubles here.
1t seems that God has set for you
A rocky way to go,
A pathway lined with thorns, anon!
Your footsteps hedged with woe;
But, with it all He gave the smile
That shines through every tear,
Else through it all, the grief and thrall
Today you'd not be here.
He left the Harp close at your hand,
Sometimes your heart grew light
And just to ease your sorrows dear
1t left in song at night.
We knew your fingers on the string
1t rummed in sweetest lay,
1t told the anguish of your soul
And oft it ceased to play.
The strings have long been torn and
hung
Unstrung and mute, but Oh,
Your frail old hand is young again.
Your nimble fingers go,
And sweetest note for dear loves
sake
Floats on the breeze today,
Fills all the wales and all the hills,
And too, tits sweet and gay.
So train thy Harp Nj Houlihan
Beside the laughing waves,
Beside thy cairns and hallowed
mounds,
Beside thy ancient graves;
But just give one sweet tender touch
Where fresh the sod is torn,
And let it's number call to life
Thy Resurrection Morn.
