THE PETREL's HoMlNG INSTINCT

A colony of petrels nesting on
Three Arch Rocks, off the Oregon
coast, is a striking illustration of the
homing instinct. The top of the rock
forms a grassy slope an acre or so in
extent, and along this numbers of
these birds have their homes The
entrances, only a few feet apart, are
small holes not much larger than that
of a field-mouse, each leading to a
burrow about fifteen inches deep, end
ing in nest. The hundreds of holes
seem to be exactly alike, and so con-
cealed in the grass are they that the
casual observer would never suspect
the existence of bird home, espe-
cially as the owners are never seen
about the island in the daytime. The
brooding bird remains closely in the
burrow, with the one white egg or
the solitary chick, while her mate
spends the daylight hours pattering
over the surface of the ocean, hunting
living out of sight of land. At dusk,
he returns to change places with the
faithful watcher in the nest or coax
| her out for an airing.
Wishing to observe them more
closely, writes a contributor to INA
ture," one evening we crawled to the
top of the rock and hid on the grassy
| slope. AS night fell, the petrels be
gan to sweep in from the sea like a
swarm of bats. l could hear them
chittering and frequently feel the
breath of swift wings, but could not
see even shadow. Here was an acre
of nesting holes that made up the
petrol village; the houses were un
numbered, there were no street lights
and, so far as I know, there was no,
the least sign of a street. l should
have been utterly bewildered, but il
some way each petrol knew just how
to find his own front door.

THE MISSES AT SCHOOL,

There was once a school,
Where the mistress, Miss Rule,
Taught a number of misses that
vexed her;
Miss Chief was the lass
At the head of the class
And young Miss Demeanor was next
her.
Poor little Miss Hap
Spilled the ink in her lap,
And Miss Fortune fell on the table;
Miss Conduct they all
Did Miss Creant call,
But Miss State declared this a fable.
Miss Lay lost her book,
And Miss Lead undertook
To show her the place where to
find it;
But upon the wrong rail
Miss Place hung her veil,
And Miss Deed hung the book safe
behind it,
Then all went very well,
AS l have heard tell,
Till Miss Take brought in Miss I'm
derstanding;
Miss Conjecture then guessed
Evil things of the rest,
And Miss Counsel advised their dis
panuihs. --Nero Zealand Outlook.

decision:

consent to your becoming nun. 1t is
preposterous for a girl of your accom-
plishments and prospects to think of

Mrs. Collins idea seemed to be that
only the uncultured and uneducated
should aspire to become the spouses
of Christ. 1t never entered into her
view of things that religious yoca-
tion is much more of privilege than
a sacrifice.
Now, Kathleen" said the mother,
with certain hardness in her voice,
Il want you in this matter to obey
me. Henceforth, you must, cease your
visits to Sister Raphael at the CON

THE REASON FOR THE WHITE
HOUSE KENNEL.

Soon after Warren G. Harding was
inaugurated as President of the United
States, Laddie Boy, an Airedale, was
given him and has been a resident at
the White House since March. 1t
seems that a number of other dog ,lov.
ers have given the President dogs as
gifts. There are now about 20 in the
White House kennels.
Maybe the reason is that President
Harding is dog lover. The following
story, from Our Dumb Animals, would
seem to indicate that he is:
The Hub: Just Dog.
In the back files of a small Ohio
daily is an obituary of Hub-just a
dog. The following paragraph taken
from it seems to afford glimpse into
the hidden depths of the man who
wrote it:
1t isn't orthordox to ascribe a soul
to dog. But Hub was loving and
loyal, with jealousy that tests its
qualities. He was reverent, patient
faithful. He was sympathetic, more
than humanity so. sometimes, for nc
lure could be devised to call him from
the sick bed of mistress or master. He
minded his own affairs-especially
worthy of human emulation. He was
modest and submissive where these
were becoming, yet never assumed g
guardianship of the home he sentin
eled until entry was properly vouched
He couldn't speak our language
though he somehow understood. But
he could be and was eloquent with
uttering eye and wagging tail and the
other expressions of knowing dogs
No, perhaps he had no soul, but il
these things are the essence of sou
and the spirit of lovable life.
Whether the Creator planned it so
or environment and human companion
ship made it so, man may learI
richly through the love and fidelity O.
a brave and devoted dog. Such 10y

crown of immortality"

INDIAN MISSIONER DESCRIBES
EFFECTS OF WAR.
Dear Rev. Father:

Dear Rev. Father:
/ thank you ever so much for The
Catholic Bulletin which comes regu-
larly. 1t has proved the pleasure and
the sole recreation of weary mis-
sioner and source OF consolation and
courage in the hour of troubles and
worries.
The times are hard, very hard for
us poor missiOners. A new spirit has
developed throughout the world, a
spirit of pride and insubordination
leading to revolution and disorder en-.
gendering in the hearts of men ha-
tired Of one another and hankering
after the wealth and goods of this
earth. This baneful and evil spirit
has now reached and tainted our
Christians, noted up to now for their
simple piety, childlike faith and devo-
tion to their priests. Leaders, taking
advantage of the political atmosphere
and for their own selfish motives. are
endeavoring to create and foster ha-
tired for Christianity.
People are told nowadays that en-
bracing Christianity means treason
and disloyalty to their country, join
ing the enemy's camp, giving up their
traditions and social status to mingle
with foreign outcasts, dishonoring the
religious SageS, patriots and hOnOred
forefathers of their land. Every eff
fort is made to induce new converts
to revert to paganism, their rein
statement in religion and caste being
made easy and as inexpensive as pos
sible. Bad Catholics are urged, help
ed and actively encouraged in their
disrespect,' disobedience and insubor
dinatiOn to religious authorities. Our
work therefore has become very diff
cult and complex. But this is only
one side of a sad picture. One may
look at a missionary's life under an
other aspect from another point Ot
view.
The price of everything has SCARED
fourfold, at least. To meet the higf
cost of living, the pay and allowance
of all government officials and serv
ants not excluding the lowest menial
has been proportionately enhanced
Protestant missionaries are not bad
ly off, Such as are recognized by gov
ernment have had the usual increase
like all government servants. Sucl
as are patronized by foreign mission
or Bible societies have received every
consideration from their respective so
ciety. The Catholic missioner alon
of all others has no share in thes'
bounties. What do l get from m.

At length, they decided that each
should paint picture, and, exhibiting
them, would let the people Judge and
abide by their decision. So the ar
lists set to work, and in due time the
pictures were finished and exhibited.

the fruit to be real.

the garden was a queer-looking place.
Two coats and three dresses with two
sweaters seemed to be standing there

from view. Inside the house a tired

OUR FACES NOT OUR OWN.

"My boy" said wise father who
knew how to play and be a chum with
his twelve-year-old boy, you do not
own your own face"
The boy looked puzzled. He had
come to the breakfast table with a
frowning, clouded countenance, and
had started moodily to eat his food
Everybody felt the shadow of his ill
spirit evident in his looks. His ia.
theirs unexpected words brought him
back to life, and he looked up with a
half guilty expression, but did not un.
derstand what was meant.
"You do not own your own face?
his father repeated. do not forget
that. It belongs to other people
They, not you, have to look at it
You have no right to compel them to

...THE...
CHILDREN'S HOUR
THE RESCUE.

Delta was bustling round, helping
her mother wash dishes and dust, for
Aunt Hilda from the city was coming
the next day to pay a visit. Delta
and her mother even went out to
straighten up the garden.
1t was chilly for early October.
Dear mel" said mother. I'm afraid
there will be frost tonight. If there
is, it will be the end of the asters;
and 1 did so much want them to be
pretty when Hilda camel"

mot if it stays cloudy" he said.
"But if it clears, we shall have a
rost."
IF the flowers we're kept warm,
would the frost hurt them" asked
Delta.
NO" Mr.. Bowen replied, "but it is
hard to keep things warm out of doors
without our old friend, the sun, to
help with the job"
Delta went to bed early, but she
did not go to sleep; instead, she lay
and watched the sky through her win
dow. The clouds drifted away slowly
and the stars began to shine one by
one. 1t was clearing off; now for the
frost!
Delta cuddled down under her quilt
'The poor asters," she said. "They
will not be fit for Aunt Hilda to looF
at"
She lay still for long while ano
pondered over the plight of the as
ters. "Now, if l myself were out II
the garden this chilly night,
shouldn't be cold" she thought, "be
cause I'd have on plenty, of clothes
Then another thought came to her
"Why shouldn't flowers wear clothes
when they need them"
She got softly out of bed and pu
on her flannel dressing gown and hel
slippers and stockings. Stealing oVel
to the closet where her clothes hung
she piled her arms high with dresses
coats and sweaters. Then she tip
toed downstairs and out into the gar
den.
The moon was shining bright, ant
the asters were still holding thei
brave heads high. But they woult
soon begin to feel the cold.
Delta stood still and looked at them
she began to feel doubtful. What i
the clothes should be too heavy ant
weigh them down?
Beside the fence there was a pill
of sharpened stakes; the sight o
them gave Delta a new idea: th'
stakes could be used to hold up th'
garments. Laying the clothes on th'
ground, she set to work.
