Annual Bushies' School at Manjimup The Bushies' Scheme at Work The sudden appearance at the school gate late on Friday afternoon, May 6, of two boys and two girls, carrying cases nearly as big as themselves, and one a bundle of rugs, was the signal for the start of what proved to be a very happy fortnight's interruption of the peaceful routine of Manjimup's Convent School. As at Kalamunda, on the fringe of the Darling Ranges, so too at Manjimup, right in the heart of Western Australia's jarrah and karri forests, advantage was being taken of the recent May holidays in the State schools to
trot along the road they know every inch of. A wait for the train ensues, during which Tommy gets a bit of good advice on how he is to behave, while he himself is thinking of the extra precious minutes he could have had in bed. "There's the whistle; the train's coming!" brings a hurried conclusion to the activities of both. A hasty good-bye, and the train moves Dawn begins to break, and at on. each siding eyes are strained to see who torms the little group of children waiting patiently as these themselves had waited a few minutes before, to be
Later on in the morning, and all the afternoon, carts and sulkies, cars and lorries, pull up every now and then at the gate, to deposit a fresh contribution to the rapidly increasing family. Cases and bedding are duly passed down, hurried visits paid to the Convent to see the Sisters, and to look for the one who will show them their beds, and within a quarter of an hour each has taken his place among the crowd. An affectionate mother steals a last peep through the fence, to satisfy herself that little Bobby won't cry and fret when she goes. There

But the mother had hardly disappeared from view when someone happened to kick the football close to Bobby, and he managed to catch it and returned it with a good kick, too. Then the bell rang for dinner. and Bobby's tears were quickly a thing of the past. Three or four of the girls, too. had never been away from home before, and at first they, too, feel a bit shy at seeing so many strange faces around them. One of the bigger girls is asked to take charge of them till they get to know the others, and a pskip or two generally makes that introduction, and soon they, also, are feeling quite at home and are fast friends. When teatime comes, all form a very happy family. The number is now 50 and others have still to come. Packed like sardines in a tin, the nine Northcliffe representatives arrived by car late on Sunday evening, some of them after a journey of 50 miles. Everything was now in readiness for the real start of the school on Monday morning. This year again the children were divided into two groups: those who had made their first Confession and Communion formed one, and those who had not the other, and with a happy alternating of instruction and recreation. the two weeks passed quickly be.

The grand finale took the form of a football match against the local State School, and was appreciated by ow boys, the more because after a keen and interesting game they came off victorious. Thanks to the most generous donations of fruit and vegetables, veal and mutton, bread, cakes and buns, jam, butter, sugar and flour, and to another friend for the loan of a cow, the Sisters were able to treat the children to the best of good fare, and on a scale that was truly lavish; and, needless to say, their efforts in this direction met with a hearty response on the part of the children. The bell had only to ring for anything in the line of eat. ables, and the football seemed instantly to lose all charm, skipping ropes were dropped, and 60 pairs of heels were all that could be seen, scampering at top speed to the Convent. The regularity of the life, the change of surroundings, the cold weather, the holi. day spirit, all seemed to put an edge on appetites that probably never suffer greatly from dullness. All is now over. The diildren have returned to their homes, and their fortnight at the Convent is but a memory, a happy memory of a very pleasant holiday, of an enjoyable combination of work and play, of things learned about their Faith they did not know before.

OUR LITERARY PAGE
"Henry the Fifth' what Shakespeare Intended. In dramatising the history of King Henyy V., Shakespeare's intention was to present to his Elizabethan audience his own ideal of a king and a man. Having, moreover, presented in 1 and 2, Henry IV., an imperfect sketch of Prince Henry, the poet doubtless felt it his duty to the public to continue the story of the madcap prince, and to trace his triumphant career as the conqueror of Agincourt. "If You be not much cloyed with fat meat," he says in the Epilogue to 2 Henry IV., "our humble author will continue the story, with Sir John in it, and make you merry with fair Katharine of France: where, for anything I know, Falstaff shall die of a sweat, unless already he be killed with your hard opinions." Of this pay Dr. Dowden has said:— "It was a fitting climax to the great series if works which told of the sorrow and the glory of his country, embodying as it did the purest patriotism of the days that all greatness and good are ,possible for a loyal people. . . . And as the noblest glories of England are presented in this play, so it presents Shakespeare's ideal of active, practical, heroic manhood. . . . Henry exhibits the utmost greatness which the active nature can attain." His Youth. In older to show that there was no miraculous conversion or inconsistency in the change which came over Prince Henry upon his accession to the throne, it is necessary to refer briefly to his early career as depicted in Richard II., and in 1 and 2, Henry IV. The surpassing union in this character of spirit and calmness—of dignity and playfulness--of and ever present energy and an almost melancholy abstraction—the conventional authority of the king, and the deep sympathy with the meanest about him of the man—was the result of the most philosophical and consistent appreciation by the poet of the moral and intellectual progress of his own Prince of Wales." (Knight.) 1.—His Wildness. We first hear of the prince in Richard II.. when his father, Bolingbroke, complains 'that— "'Tis full three months since I did see him last: If any plague hang over us 'tis he," and sends messengers to search for hun in the London taverns, where he daily doth frequent, with unrestrained loose companions." In 1 and 2, Henry IV., we see him in friendly association with thieves and rogues (Falstaff amongst others), spending his time in ale-houses or in the haunts of vice, beating the watch, assaulting a judge, assisting at a robbery, and joining in every form of Youthful frolic. He himself makes the boast: "I can drink with any tinker in. his own language during my life." His father, Henry IV., grieves that he can— "See riot and dishonour stain the brow Of my young Harry," and mournfully contrasts him with Y oung Percy, "A son, who is the theme of honour's tongue." 2.—Hi5 Better Nature. But there are indications even in these early days that the prince's wildness is a recreation only, not a habit. In Richard II., his father thus speaks of him:_,_ "As dissolute as desperate; yet though both I see some sparks of better hope, which elder years May happily bring forth;" and in 1 and 2, Henry IV., his wantonness and dissoluteness are more apparent than real. He is laughter-loving, merry, excitable, and gives way to a,_ wild. youthful love of liberty; but lie is free from all suspicion of dishonour. When the robbery took place which he incautiously sanctioned by n's Presence, he paid back the money with advantage. He is grave enough in his father's presence when, speaking 01illPercy, y,e he promises that the time "That I shall this northern youth exchange HiS glorious deeds for my indigni ties:" and in the presence of danger, on the ueld of battle, his whole demeanour
changes. His challenge of Percy to single combat was made in no vaunting spirit. Vernon remarks— "I never in my life Did hear a challenge urged more modestly"; and adds the prophetic words: "If he outlive the envy of this day England did never owe so sweet a hope, So much misconstrued in his wantonness." On the plains of Shresbury he more than redeemed his reputation. He, who had been reported to be waiting eagerly for his father's death, saved that father's life. He slew the rebel Hotspur, his former rival, and, in his modesty, gave to the unworthy Falstaff all the glory of the deed. Finally, the thought of his father's sickness softens him, and the king, who during his life had never understood the real worth of his eldest son, dies in peaceful assurance of his loyalty and love. The reformation of the prince, who hitherto had been holding himself in reserve, and whose heart was ever sound. is fully accomplished in the spectacle of his father's death-bed. 3 —References to Henry V's.

Count John McCormack marked the twenty-fifth anniversary of his first appearance at Albert Hall, London, by a concert there on Sunday, April 24, at 3 p.m. He was assisted by Adela Verne, the celebrated pianist, and Lauri Kennedy, the famous 'cellist. Originally intended for the Civil Cervice, Count McCormack did not turn his attention to music until 1902, when he took part in the National Irish Festival, and won the gold medal for tenors. He later jointd the choir at In 1905 the pro-Cathedral, Dublin. he commenced his musical studies He later under Sabatini, at Milan. appeared in important roles at Covent Garden during the Italian opera season. Pope Benedict XV. created him a Knight of St. Gregory in 1921, and Pope Pius XI. a Count in 1928. He has been a Privy Chamberlain to the Flo:y Father since 1929. Sir John Lavery, R.A., the distinguished Irish portrait painter, has been elected president of the Royal Society of Portraint Painters in succession to the late Sir William Orpen.

New Caledonia has now forgotten that it was ever a convict settlement—that unenviable condition has been passed on to Devil's Island and German Guiana. It has to-day forty missionaries, Marist Brothers, Sisters of St. Joseph of Cluny, and the Third Order of Mary, and 25.000 Catholics. We clip the following report of Catholic practices in a London Anglican Church, which appeared in a London suburban paper. Our readers should find it interesting, as showing to what extent the thinking Protestant mind is assimilating Catholic ideas and Anglicanism is turning to the beautiful liturgy of Holy Week to infuse life into its ceremonies: "The parish of St. Alphage is recovering from a very strenuous Holy Week and Easter. The whole of the Liturgical rites and ceremonies were carried out, as usual, most of them being solemnly sung. A good number of people came to the High Mass on Maundy Thursday at 6.30, and stayed for the procession to the Altar of Repose. The watch at this altar was kept up without intermission until Friday morning, the night hours being undertaken by the League of the Holy Cross. "On Friday the Veneration of the Cross and Mass of the Presanctified was solemnly sung at 8.30. A service for children and morning prayer occupied the time until twelve o'clock, when a three hours' retreat commenced. "On Saturday morning the New Fire was blessed at 8.30. Part of the ceremony took place at the church door, to the great intrigue of such of the The rest neighbours as were about. of the Holy Saturday rites were performed within the church. "During the Triduum Sacrum, as the last three days of Holy Week are called, the office of Tenebrae was sung by a choir of men. "There were many communicants at the early Masses on Easter Day, and a large congregation at the High Mass. "A tragedy befell on Sunday, in that one of the congregation was knocked down and killed on her way home from church "Apart from this, the day was a very happy one for the people of St. AlpThe church was sparingly but hage. very effectively decorated, and a fine Paschal candle in the sanctuary proclaimed to all the glad news of a living Christ" Mar Ivanios, the famous convert from the Jacobite Schism, who is on his way to the Eucharistic Congress, Dublin, arrived in Rome recently, and was the guest of the Passionists at SS.

Catholic Journalism and Literature We can quote the highest authority in the Catholic Church in support of the belief that Catholic journalism is of supreme importance. The Popes are not only eminent examples of Catholic journalism at its best; they are the enthusiastic champions of this apostolate of the pen. Some of the great Saints have realised the importance of this method of propagating the Faith, and have resorted to the pen in gaining their spiritual ends. The achievement of St. Francis de Sales in this direction is well known and, no doubt, accounts for the Holy Father's choice of this great Saint as Patron of Catholic Journalism. Catholic literature can effect what is not within the reach of the voice, since there are times when an audience cannot be found for one who would teach the Faith by means of verbal expression. The vocal method is admittedly the chief method of propagation. On the other hand, its effect depends upon the impression of the moment, and it is conceivable that it might fail to duly influence a mind which is slow, or more reflective, or one influenced less by emotion than reason. Once a verbal message has been uttered it is past, while that which is written can become the object of long Once a and careful consideration. prospective convert, for example, has arrived at the enquiring stage, and is on his own initiative using his intellect to investigate, the literature of the Church becomes almost a necessity. If he does not advert to the meaning of what he reads, he can return over the same ground, and finally arrive at a knowledge of the particular matter in question. The appeal gf Catholic literature is, perhaps, firstly, to the reason, though not entirely so. It is possible to express, through the written page the deepest emotions, and— what is more important—to impress them upon the reader by this means. One knows how some of the greatest conversions have been due to the reading of literature—notably in the case Accounts are extant of St. Ignatius. of the conversion of one who, picking up the title of a newspaper, having applied for a copy, ultimately through the reading that resulted, became a member of the Church. The story is told of a man who rescued from the water a copy of a Catholic theological work on behalf of its owner. The former, being led 1p curiosity to read it contents, was converted to the Faith. If the Wisdom of God is concentrated into the pages of the inspired words of the Bible, we have a grand precedent for the advocating of Catholic Journalism, which, if it may not be considered strictly inspired, is yet in conformity with the Faith, and not infrequently is written under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. The development of printing is definite grounds for keeping pace in the Catholic direction with the tremendous output of literature of every kind of a secular nature. While every form of knowledge of the natural sciences is committed to the written page in the form of an extensive literature, it is appropriate that the greatest of all subjects—theology—the Queen of Sciences, and its derivative subjecfs— should have as full and adequate an expression as is humanly possible through the writings of the journalists and theologians of the Church. The necessity. is further emphasised by the present condition of the world to-day. Never before in history has written literature been directed so extensively to the propagation of every fallacy, misconception, heresy and lie, which the perverted human mind can conceive. There has been a rapid growth in the output of rationalistic and heretisal literature during recent times. Such a vast output, including a world-wide secular press openly writing up, or subtly concealing all kir-. of dangerous ideas, is a tremendous influence in the wrong direction, and is the chief factor in creating a pazanised conception of Society. The conflict between truth and error, which is age-long, under present conditions is to a great degree a warfare to be waged in the arena of literature with the weapon of the pen. We cannot emphasise too much the tremendius importance of Catholic JournalProbably it is correct to say ism. that journalism is the most important form of writing, since it reaches quarters outside the range of literature in the form of more extensive treatises on Catholic subjects. It is the age of the magazine, and the daily newspaper, and the Church uses the enemy's weapons in resorting to a similar means. This was proved very convincingly quite recently in England respecting the Maltese Royal Commission Report.

THE RECORD.
The Government, with a view, no doubt, to protecting the secular and Masonic Press, refused to give effect The to the Commission's findings. "Catholic Times," being in possession of the true and intrinsic facts of the whole buinesss, including the Commission's findings, published same in full detail, and only by persistent hammerings have the Government given careful consideration to the Report of the Maltese Royal Commission, and decided to give effect to all the proposals set out by the Commission. The Constitution is to be restored to the Island in accordance with the Commission's The Catholic main recommendation. Official Organ of the Archdiocese of Perth, "The Record," is your own journal, and should be in every Catholic home each week as published. If you are not already a subscriber, your name should be added to the list, thereby ensuring delivery regularly, and when finished with send to a friend "out back," who no doubt will be interested. Your special attention is also directel to the Catholic Truth Literature, of which a large and varied assortment of Australian, English and Irish is to hand covering a wide range of subjects. Copies may be obtained from This literature is the Church doors. of a high order, interesting, educational and instructive, not only to Catholics, but also non-Catholics. By casting our bread upon the waters, in a literary sense, it will return to us in the form of fallacies refuted, false philosophies discredited, whilst many likely victims of plausable writers are saved from mental undermining due to secular journalism. Catholic journalism, however, is not satisfied with the mere refutation of error: it is constructive. It sets before it the glorious prospects of winning through this means countless numbers to the Faith.—A.S.
A Birthday Surprise Party At 7 o'clock on Tuesday evening, May 31, the Catholic Girls' Hostel wore its usual air of quietude and decorum— at eight o'clock, if you had entered its doors, You would have noticed a subtle atmosphere of excitement, much whispering in corridors, mysterious visits to a certain room, and, emaniting from the kitchen, a delicious odour, whirh you would have no hesitation in ' scribinc, as the aroma of that popt, evening brew—coffee. But had you passed the Hostel at 9 o'clock, the tinkle of a piano and the familiar strains of "She's a jolly Good Fellow," sung with much gusto, would have told you that something in tt:e nature of a jollification was in progress: And had you lingered long enough to hear the sounds of mirth which followed, you would never have guessed that the hilarity was caused by the spectacle of a certain highly esteemed person consuming a delicate morsel which he had purloined from its cosy nest in the kitchen oven. (I don't think I'll be allowed to put that in.) The occasion was the birthday of Mrs. Naylor, our best of matrons. Father Prendiville kindly agreed to be present, and to him fell the pleasant task of tendering, on behalf of the girls, a gift to the guest of honour. After this small ceremony was over, Father ,from his position on the hearthrug, responded for Mrs. Naylor, who was much too overcome by surprise and emotion to voice her own feelings. He spoke very highly of our matron, and expressed his pleasure to be present at such a delightful little festivity. It was a concerte expression of the girls' appreciation of a matron who took a maternal and personal interest in each and every one of them He was glad to see such a spirit exist. ing in the Hostel, and hoped that the function would become an annual event. He concluded his eulogy with the remark that, as the sausage rolls were geting cold, and he was getting rather hot, an end to speeches would be advisable. The coffee was advertising itself, as only coffee can—a sausage-roll had already made an unmistakable, if somewhat premature, appearance—tea was already some three hours in the past— so, all things considered, the suggestion of supper was unanimously approved. After that, vocal and musical items, competition, and dancing were the order of the evening. One novelty, in which each competitor had to draw an animal, which was afterwards submitted to the rest for identification, caused much amusement. Erma Ranting won the prize, having with commendable perspicacity given a name to 17 out of 21 of these r emarkable monstrosities.

Noticing one girl's ecort pinned upon her, I thought I would make a discreet inquiry as to the nature of the creature portrayed. "Is it an emu or an ortrich?" I asked innocently. "It's a giraffe!" was the reply given with disgusted emphasis, from the embryo artist. Another competition, entitled "Vegetables," provided some food for thought, and was won after a close tussle by Father Prendiville. The asthetic side of the evening's programme was provided by Miss Hurley, who obliged us with a pianoforte solo, and by Ronnie Donoghue, who recited and sang, the efforts of both gaining much applause. Community singing and dancing kept everybody amused for the remainder of the evening, the terpsichorean enthusiastics overflowing into the hall, and even on to the verandahs, until at about 11 p.m., the company ceased its revels. and quiet once more descended upon the Hostel in Goderich-street. Lord North, of Kirtling, a convert to the Church, and the oldest English peer, who died at Oxford recently, in his 96th. year, was a descendant of Sir Thomas Pope, who had some fame in the first half of the 16th. century.

Wroxton Abbey, the seat of the late Lord North. was granted to Sir Thomas Pope at the dissolution of the monasteries, and continued in his

A "big drive" is being made for new members and to the everlasting credit of our Catholic young men, and as a proof of the intense Catholic spirit that permeates them, be it noted that they are responding most enthusiastically. In the very short period of one week, forty new members have signed our Considering the application forms.

the committee hupes that next Wednesday's function will be even better supported. Those who do not play bridge are reminded that other card games will be played.

The premier social function of the Association is the annual ball. This year's ball will be held in Temple Court Cabaret, on Thursday, July 7, at 8.30 p.m No effort is being spared to make the 1932 Ball an outstanding success in every way.

Hugo Larsen's Return Mr. Hugo Larsen, the young, but well-known, concert promoter, returned to Australia by the "Otranto," which arrived at Fremantle during the week. He returns from Paris and London, where he has been busy booking up some of the world's leading concert stars for Australia and New Zealand. In Paris he concluded a contract for this season with Joseph Szigeti, who is acclaimed by many critics as the greatest living violinist of modern times. At the age of 39, Szigeti is the idol of three continents, and one of the most sought-after violinists in the world today. Mr. Larsen is confident he will be hailed with delight by every section of the music-loving public. He is disappointed at having failed to persuade Rachmaninoff, the great pianist, to accept a £20,000 offer for 1933. "There is, however, he says, "a strong possibility that Cortot, who founded the famous "Ecole Normale" in Paris, which is now considered the most important school of Music in Europe. will make an extensive tour next year. Other artists he hopes to introduce to Australia are Madame Suggia, the famous 'cellist, and Nicolai Orloff, the celebrated Russian pianist. In London he met Sir Henry Wood, whom he hopes to induce to conduct an All-Australian Orchestra. He has also arranged for a return visit of Peter Dawson in 1934 That will he the fareweh totir ot the popular baritone.

The first teaches that all power comes By Him Kings reign and Princes decree justice. from God. Temporal authority must therefore be obeyed, and the Church is As in thus the mainstay and support of rulers against anarchy. dignity the to this, so in other matters, her teaching with regard order of labour and the sanctity of family life, tends to preserve to indifferent is Church the this, all With government. and good justly be authority forms of government; its only concern is that exercised, and She therefore does not interfere with any prerogative of the State. In the spiritual domain, however. the Church is the Divinely appointed custodian of God's law. In this matter the State has no authority—though it has the grave responsibility of giving sanction to its teaching. She has never allowed the State, for instance, to legislate for her in the matter of divorce, or in the nationalisation of a Church which was meant to be an international Institution. This is based on the second principle, that "we must obey God rather than man," whenever there is question of violation of God's teaching. This applies not merely to purely spiritual matters, but also to any disciplinary measures which may be necessary There should, therefore, be no antagonism to safeguard them. if each keeps within its respective State, and Church etween b limits.
The prize winners are Loreto Convent, Swanbourne, St. Patrick's Boys' Choir, and St. Brigid's College Choir, West Perth. The death occurred in the Diocese of Cloyne recently, of Very Rev. Daniel Canon O'Callaghan, Mallow. Born at Coachford, in 1841, he was 63 years in .the sacred ministry. Canon O'Callaghan was ordained in Paris, and spent his years in many parishes of the Archdiocese, where he was very favourably His Lordship known and beloved. the Most Rev. Dr. Roche, Co-adjutor Bishop of Cloyne, presided at the Mass and Office, and many priests attended from the diocese. The late Canon was a cousin of Right Rev. 'Monsignor Verling, V.G. A continuation of the Victoria Park Mission is being conducted this week Rev. Father Gilmartin, at Belmont. C.SS.R is giving the Mission. The second Retreat for the Sisters of St. John of God is to be conducted at Subiaco next week, by Rev. Father Gorey, C.SS.R.

HE RECORD.
SOCIAL NOTES •• Scarcely have the cables ceased throbbing with the news of Mrs. Putnam's wonderful solo flight across the Atlantic in record time, when further women's successes come to us, this time the honour resting with two women from Australia, they winning the great motor race at Brooklands from noted world motorists. That we are thrilled by their magnificent performance goes without saying. That they possessed iron nerve and instantaneous grasp of the position was demonstrated when the car skidded on an embankment while travelling at eighty miles an hour. In her modesty, Miss Joan Richmond would give all praise to her brave little car, and no doubt it deserves the eulogy she bestows on it, but to her and to Mrs. Wisdom— her companion—we wish to tender our heartiest congratulations upon an outstanding victory. Perhaps it is not so strange that these record-breaking events should come at a time when critics are saying that women are not doing their bit in the world crisis. It is easy to say, but not so easy to prove such an assertion, and this criticism takes our minds back some thirty or forty years, when a lot was heard of a new movement known as "Women's Rights," and when many great women were fighting to secure certain rights—I will not say privileges—for their sex. Others there were whom Parliamentarians would call obstructionists. However, as a result of continued agitation. women have forged ahead. and have made their presence felt in the public life of the community. In many instances they have taken positions that for long were looked upon Now, in these as man's prerogative. times of depression and its consequent unemployment, there are those who would filch from the women their hardIn bygone days, when won places. women had scarcely any legal standing in the community, they were expected to help in providing the wherewithal to keep the family, and they were found working in the fields—aye, even in the mines and the factories—so that their place was not altogether in the home. Surely it was not a well-informed person who, speaking recently of the economic stringency, said: "It's up to the women now to do their bit." Certainly he has acknowledged failure on his side. and that only women can make recovery certain. That being so. they must not be hampered by and such obsolete Act as prevented the President of a Shire in a neighbouring State from attending the ViceRegal levee last week, simply because she was a woman. Surely if she were worthy to hold the confidence of hardheaded and clear-visioned men of a Shire, sex should not preclude her from the entry to any public function. A protest from every woman's organisation throughout Australia should be recorded and steps taken to have such an iniquitous Act repealed.

more, it would give greater emphasis to the cry of "Put Australia First." I would like to see the children taking part in this beautification of our streets for then we should hear less of vandalism in our public places, as the child who assists in planting a tree will jealously guard it. Evening gowns from Paris have skirts fairly long, and tight-fitting to the hip-line, where they flare out, becoming almost billowy. Floating panel effects at the back develop into short trains. The all-black is not worn quite so much, but a pretty effect may be produced by a black-bead,ed tulle over pink taffeta. An attractive tea gown was of oldrose pink satin, cut on classical lines. It had long tight sleeves, a square peckline and a flowing skirt. For outdoor dressing the military style is emphasised by being buttoned right up to the throat, and ornamented with buttons, braid and tassels. Sweaters are most popular and lots of girls have as many as three or four —which they wear with a black or navy pleated skirt. One sweater knitted in plain wool was hand-embroidered, and well repaid the trouble taken in the making. Topcoats are mostly of the doublebreasted type, and they are ideal for the cold winter days. The tweed one,,s are generally either plain or trimmed with astrachan, and the face cloths have collar and cuffs of fur. LORETO ENTERTAINS A GIFTED ARTIST,
Fremantle, arranged a Bridge and Rummy party for last Friday evening. Further entertainments are to follow, and all friends of the Sisters of St. Joseph are urged to do their utmost to support these functions.

The next dance will be held in the Bradman Hall on Thursday, June 16, and Miss Doreen D'Arcy's orchestra has been engaged for that evening.
Last Thursday evening. Loreto Convent, Swanbourne, was the scene of a very enthusiastic gathering of past pupils, assembled to give a reception to the gifted young artist. Rita Miller, who was educated at Loreto Convent, Ballarat. On her arrival, the guest of the evening was welcomed by the Mother Superior, the Nuns, and the president of the Association, Mrs. Rodgers, who introduced Rita to the other past pupils, about one hundred in number. The pleasure it gave her to be once again among Loreto girls was very evident. Before taking the place of honour in the centre of the group. Rita was presented with a beautiful bouquet of golden roses, and a gold badge bearing the Loreto crest and motto. A short programme began with the singing of "Queen of Loreto," after which Veronica Lake. Nlus.Bac., delighted the audience with her talented pianoforte _ performance. Marcia Hodges sang very sweetly a group of songs, and two of the present pupils, Mary Ward and Shirley Grave, prize winners in the Eisteddfod elocution section, rendered recitations, which were most appreciatively received. mhe Midland Junction Annual Cd.

The ceremony will be performed by the Rev. Father O'Gorman. The bride elect has been the recipient of a number of entertainments, and on last Wednesday night, Forrest Hall, Bassendean, was filled with her many friends, who gave her a kitchen tea. A large number of very useful presents were received. The presentations were made by Father O'Gorman, who, in a few well-chosen words, wished the young couple every happiness in their new life. The many friends of Mrs. Gerald Moyle will be pleased to know she has taken over a general store in Bassendean, and is making good progress. A visit to her store will repzy the shopper intent on procuring bargains.

" Oh, the factors—adding them up, you see!" "Do you know how to do them?" "She bangs them into us, Father. She calls one of us out to the blackboard, and we have to do them there." A few mornings after this dialogue I asked Ronald how he was 'getting on with the factors. Jubilantly he said: "I can do them now. Father." "ThenI suppose the banging is done with forever," I replied. He laughed at that, and challenged me to give him a mental. "Well, here is one for you, I said. "Eggs three, halfpence apiece, how many for twopence?" He reected for a minute or so, then burst out: "One and a bit, Father." "No," I said.

'And how far have you gone? ' R onald began to think. He raised e ves to the ceiling and looked r ound. the room, while, with thumb eed index finger of the left hand he began to tap his forehead. He was, evidently, striving hard to recall something: then, at last, he found it: "I have it now. Father. We have gene as far as "the merits of the saints whose relics are here." "Very good. Ronald. But you must he careful to give those beautiful prayers of the Mass correctly.

Yes, Father. Isn't that the book I brought to you the other day from the Catholic Truth bookcase that is in the porch of the church?" It is the very same."

I read: "When a priest celebrates 'Mass, he honours God, rejoices the angels, edifies the Church, and helps the living, he obtains rest for the dead, and makes himself partaker of all that is good."

St. Columba's, South Perth Sacred Heart Sodality. On Sunday evening the Sacred Heart Sociality was established in the parish. The prefects of the men sections are: Messrs. Frank Walsh, W. Patterson, 'Lawler, and Mr. Asphar as prefect of the boys' section. The prefects of the women sections are: Mrs. Lyon Johnston, Mrs. Dennehy, Mrs. Quartermaine, and Miss McLernan in charge of the girls' section. The Sodality will meet on the first Sunday of each month at the 7.30 Mass for its monthly Communion, at 7.30 p.m. for its Sodality meeting. Congregational singing will be a feature of the Sodality's meetings. Each prefect will appoint a sub-prefect, and parishioners may enroll under any prefect. Each section will adopt its own patron saint, and be responsible for its own banner. It is to be hoped that the large number of boys who attend Mass in South Perth, but who go to the Christian Brothers' schools, will enroll as juvenile members of the SoIt is also most desirable that dality the girls still at school, whether at the parish school or other schools, will enroll under Miss McLernan. Children of Mary, The Children of Mary met last Sunday afternoon at 3 p.m., and will meet at that hour on the first Sunday of the month. There will be a short instruction by the Chaplain, and then the members will say the little Office of the Blessed Virgin. On the first Sunday there will be Exposition all day from the second Mass to the evening devotions. The Children of Mary will arrange to go in adoration from the second Mass to their afternoon meeting. The Lady Altar will be their special charge. Two members are to care for the altar each week, bringing fresh flowers, and making the altar as devotional as possible. A drive for additional members is now on; each member is asked to enroll one additional girl in the sodality. Social Items. The opening social was a great success, and the congratulations and gratitude of the parish are due to the organisers. Mesdames E. G. O'Dea and R. Franklyn. of 235 Suburban-road. Thirteen tables in bridge, and some extra tables of non-bridge players, made the evening a very pleasant one. The prize winners were: Miss Kathleen Goody, highest ladies' score: Mr. Jim C onway. highest men's score. The hidden numbers went to Mrs. James Walsh and Mr. John McEncroe. An excellent supper (with Mrs. Dominish as queen of the coffee pot, and one of the family, by special appointment, the sole mixer, maker, and purveyor of one cup of cocoa was provided, and the night, being chilly, the good fare was quite enjoyed. A word of thanks is due to those who donated the prizes: Mrs. Paxton, of the Esplanade Hotel; Messrs. Sydney Smith. T. Ahern, and Tom Bogue (of the Savoy Hotel). And, finally a pat on the back to the "foreigners," who are most welcome to come again to South Perth. We have a special welcome awaiting the visitor from across the water: we send the first prize home with the ladies from there— so do, please, Mr. and Mrs. "Foreigner" do come again, and again, to South Perth. On Wednesday last a most successflul Bridge evening was held at the home of Mrs. T. Murphy. A report will appear in our next. On Wednesday.

The pedestal of the lamp indicates that it is a memorial-1n memory of Francis Edward O'Dea, donated by his loving wife." That is indeed a worthy memorial, one that will stand in the new church for all time. Let us hope that this lead given by Mrs. O'Dea will be followed by others. The new Ciborium, a large sterling silver cup. that will hold 400 particles, has also arrived., It was donated by Mrs. Frank Moss. The ciborium, which has been blessed by His Grace the Archbishop, will be in use next Sunday. A new Missal is also promised. Cats and Dogs. 'Tis with regret we have to mention that the parish "Baby" has bumped her bonnet. She set off in the early morning of last week, not a sulk in her mind, her head in the air—well, as you know what happened to Lot's wife— the Baby got curious, and surely that is a privilege of her sex, which her sex always uses, and looking over a cyclone fence, she bumped her bonnet turning around. She looks a bit rakish with the bonnet at a Saturday night angle, but a visit to her costurniere will set it straight soon. For the benefit of those who may not know it, South Perth boasts a Zoo, and we in South Perth regulate our watches by the grumbling groans that emanate from that delightful spot. But it is only the people in South Perth that know that animals over here are dead keen, not merely on Sunday school, but on Sunday morning Mass. Up to last week we had only the dogs, but that is now remedied, for the dogs must have told the cats that qur services are "lively." and last Sunday we had the cats, and, not to mention names, but one lady Persian brought a young Miss Persian—to come out at church. Unfortunately South Perth has no cats' home—and we must spare the river's blushes! Here is a broad target for small boys with, every mall boy with a pea-rifle may lie in ambush any Sunday morning and fire a salute at the church-going cats of South Perth!

Although again the Western Australian District has not been favoured with the honour of having the National Directory allocated here, still there is a certain measure of satisfaction in the fat that Western Australia received votes from every State with the exception of Queensland, to which the Directory was allocated. Correspondence from country branches showed a most satisfactory quickening of activity and it is hoped that a very large measure of success will he achieved by those branches which are making a determined effort to increase their numerical strength.

WORDS OF WISDOM. The fruit and profit of a soul does not consist so much in thinking as in loving. He who does not greatly fear sin is not far from falling into it. Whoever is truly resolved to follow T estis Christ should fear nothing, for .1esus Christ will assuredly help him. True charity requires that we compassionate the smallest afflictions of our neighbour. and that we bear with his imperfections. It is necessary that we should make for ourselves dwelling in prayer; the wicked that they may become better, and form an inviolable friendship with God. True perfection consists in a perfect love of God and nut- neighbour: the more perfectly a observes these two commandments, the more perfect does it become. gany rocks are to be found in the stormy sea of this life, and we shall make shipwreck on them unless we are directed by the safe wind of obedience. We must not neglect a good inspiration through fear of difficulty: for the greater the difficulty, the greater the reward, if we have generously surmounted the first. It is an unbearable thing to see how we receive so many graces and bless!ngs from God and afterwards are so insensible of them, and so negligent in thanking Him. SILENCE. What a noble weapon is silence! It turns aside the tempest of anger: before it hatred and malice are abashed, If not defeated: slander and detraction are hushed in its presence; idle gossip soon grows tired in the face of its rebuke. If we could but keep silence the world would be rid of half its evils. A TROUGFIT FOR ALL TIMES. If nowadays we could discover a food that would guarantee a hundred Years of healthy life, nothing would be valued above it The millionaire W9uld consider trifling price a million dollars a mere for one small piece of cuch bread: and should we not be Prodigal of our means and time and sufferings even, in order to partake of a Bread that gives not a hundred years nf life on earth, but an eternity in ?leaven.

your life, upon your future success of failure, upon your happiness or misery. THE WISDOM OF FATHER DEGEN Selfishness does sometimes heap immediate profits, but it always spells ultimate failure. It is topsv-turvey and humiliating for an out-of-work husband to have to mind the home whilst his wife goes out to work. By becoming dependent upon his wife's wages, he naturally feels that he is no longer master in the house.
June--The Month of the Sacred Heart The heart is the symbol of love. This love for mankind was the motive of the sufferings of the Saviour. Hence devotion to the Sacred Heart tries to make reparation for the love that has been shown towards us, and which we have failed properly to acknowledge. It was of this unrequited love that He complained to Saint Margaret Mary, when in the middle of the 17th. century, he asked her to promulgate devotion to His Sacred Heart. "Behold this Heart," said He, "that has loved men so much, and which has spared Itself in nothing, and has even gone so far as to consume Itself, thereby to show them Its love; but in return the greater part of men only show Me ingratitude, by the irreverence, tepidity, sacrilege and contempt, of which they make Me the object in this Sacrament of Love. And that which I feel most acutely is that they are hearts consecrated to Me." Jesus then expressed His wish that the first Friday after the Octave of Corpus Christi should be dedicated as a particular festival in honour of His Adorable Heart, and that all on that day should endeavour, by their homage and affections, to make amends for the insults which men have offered Him in the Sacrament of the Altar. He promised abundant graces to all who should thus honour Him. Now love is measured by deeds rather than words, and the best way to show our love to the Sacred Heart is to practise what He has required of us in this matter. This would be a great devotion to the Blessed Sacrament—and a frequent reception of It, in reparation for our own sins and for the sins of the world. The Holy Hour is another most admirable way of showing our love for the Sacred Heart. Acts of Consecration and of Reparation to the Sacred Heart, particularly on the first Fridays of the month, are another means. Reception of Holy Communion on the First Friday—as an act of reparation: Consecration of the home to the Sacred Heart, and having His Image publicly honoured in the home. But the last and easiest method, and the best for ensuring merit for our ordinary work of the day, is to become a member of the Apostleship of Prayer. The essential obligation is the recitation of the Morning Offering every day—by which all our actions are consecrated to the Sacred Heart, and bring us much merit besides. Even without being Members, we can sanctify all the actions of the day, by saying the Morning Offering. In this way we shall be not only helping to save our own souls, but we shall be making reparation for countless others, who, perhaps, through our prayers and good works, may finally reach Heaven. That would be reward enough for the little trouble that devotion to the Sacred Heart entails. The month of June is the time to make a start, and it should be continued throughout the year, and throughout our lives, if we considered it at its true value. BESIDE THE SEA. Softly the silent fogs come floating in, The river valley fills with pearly grey; I fear a storm upon its giant way. The wiser rustic trusts in what has been; "Nay, laddie, nay!" saith he: "Nae storm will come to-day. It is the sea." So, ghostly portents steal upon the soul: Dim, pallid doubtings in their might arise, Until we lose our azure-gleaming skies. 0, timid soul, be glad! No clouds uproll, But yonder lies the sea. —Claim, recognise thy near eternity. —Caroline D. Swan. YOUR WORK. There is an indescribable satisfaction which comes from the consciousness of being exact, of doing things just right, as they should be done. This habit of doing things to a finish, the habit of exactitude, of accuracy, affects one's morals, one's character. It increases self-respect, and is a protection equal to a trademark or a copyright. One reason why so many people fail to reach any sort of success in life is because they do not try to give their best: excellence, superiority, is not their motto. Some employees do not seem to think that work they are doing to-day is of very great importance; that is, that it has any great significance in regard to the whole of their career; but everything you do has a bearing upon
So far from being reasoned cpnvictions, prejudices are not even lightlyconsidered opinions. By raising his life to a supernatural level, the saint does not cease to be human, and whilst he acquires perfect control over his emotions, his heart dloes not become glacial, but remains affectionate.
SMALL BOYS. I think it very wrong to fight When little boys go out to play, I've always said it isn't right For blows to spoil a happy day. But, on the other hand, although His mother seems to disagree, I hate to have him take a blow And then come crying home to me. I don't approve of battling boys, I hope he'll never start a fight, But when some other lad employs His fists and swings them left and right, And jabs him one upon the nose, And makes his eye a sight to see, I find I am not one of those Who think he still should peaceful be. I say be patient, calm and kind, Don't let your temper spoil your fun. Who starts the fight will some day find A foe who will not turn and run. But if a bully starts a bout And hits you when you can't agree, You stay right there and fight it out, And don't come crying home to me. —Edgar A. Guest. GOD'S WORK. When we issue forth into the night, and peer fearfully into those fathomless. interstellar depths; when we gaze with reverential admiration at those distant stars, which we know to be enormous suns, although they look as mere grains of golden splendour, owing to their stupendous and measureless distances, do not feelings of reverence and awe steal upon us? Do wo not feel inclined, like the child first issuing from the dark mine into gladsome day, to throw ourselves on our faces and to worship and adore the Lord and Master of all that magnificence, and to break out with the prophet into words of wonder and praise? The heavens and the earth are full of Thy glory. They are the work of Thy hands. They shall perish, but Thou shalt endure. POWER OF THE HOME. Often you hear it said that never before have the days been so evil, and that the rising generation, coming up under the disadvantage of modern times. is so different from that of our chi!dhood days. Often you will hear it said that children no longer are as they used to IN!. We laud the days when we were children, and express great anxiety for the moral welfare of the coming generation. But, instead of bemoaning the times, we should stop and reflect upon what we can do for the rising generation. We should ask ourselves, what are we doing to help them, to assist them against sinful influences? If we are going to save our children from the evils that are abroad, if we are going to protect them, to save them for God and country, there is one great power that is going to do it. No, it is not the school alone, it is not the Church alone; it is the power of the home also.

Did you like practising when you were a little girl, Aunt Bessy? (Now who saidI was ever a little girl?

I hope you will be equally successful with the music; don't begrudge effort, as it always repays us in the end, and we should develop any talent we have. It is a greater achievement to pass an exam after patient plodding than to gain success through natural brilliancy.

She goes to St. Joseph's School, Subiaco. I think she knows you, Aunt Bessy, but she did not enlighten me. My mum's cousin, Miss Wigget, died during the week. Will you say a prayer for her? Now, Aunt Bessy, I will close. Love from your loving nephew, GERARD BRIDGWOOD. Dear Gerard,—I was delighted to get your letter, and have said the prayer.

CROXTON. Dear Roma,—You are very good to give the first fruits of your garden to the altar. I used to take a bunch of flowers to Our Lady's altar every Saturday when I was little, but my dog used to come with me, too, and one morning when "the old man" ordered him out he got his temper up and jumped over the Communion rails, breaking a china jardiniere en route. There was such a scene: I cried, and "Ginger" howled, and "Old Con" swere like a trooper, but it was mild to what my father said when my mother asked him for the price of the jardiniere. AUNT BESSY.

The winning Nouns were; Brother, Boulder, Butcher. Barrister, Baker, Banker, Barber, Broker, Butter. Breaker, and Binder. The winning Adjectives: Better, Brighter, Bitter, Broader, Braver, Bigger, Peggy had her set of adjectives completely correct, and five nouns out of the twelve, making a total of 11, so the chocolates go to her, as nobody had both sets correct. A.B. and the Cot% nerites congratulate Peggy and trust the chocs. won't make her feel bad inside. The congratulations are all the more sincere, as Peggy is a little girl who cannot skip or play about like the most of the nieces and nephews. Maureen Putland and Melva Penrose will receive consolation prizes, as each of them got a total of 10 correct answers. A.B.was only one number off the Golden Apple first prize last year, so she knows what the feeling is like. Most of the competitors chose nouns that A.B. never would have aspired to. For instance, there was quite a bevy of boozers, bucaneerst. bloomers, blubberers, bar-tenders, brick-layers, and beef-eaters.

Catholic Action Movement in India. Calicut (India).—A Catholic Young Men's Association was organised last February at Calicut, India, for the purpose of approaching the high caste Hindus, bringing them in contact with the priest, and with their assistance spreading Catholic literature. Sixty young men have offered their services in writing and publishing pamphlets in the Malayalam tongue, under the The asdirection of the missionary. sociation is called the C.Y.M.A.—Catholic Young Men's Association—and it will form a branch of a similar organisation already established at Ernakulam, called the Catholic Yuva Logam, which is working with success in the dioceses if Cochin and Travancore, where this same Malayalam is spoken. Fiji Islands Chiefs Participate in Catholic Action. Cawaci (Fiji Islands, South Pacific). —Eighteen Catholic chiefs came together at Cawaci last January to study the organistion of a strong Catholic Action in the Fiji Islands. There has been already for several years an active lay element in the movement represented by 250 voluntary catechists, but this is the first time that the chiefs have taken part. They decided, with the approbation of the Vicar Apostolic, to form an association to assist the aetivities of the missionaries and cateDuring the six days of their chists. congress they were enthusiastic in making plans and listening to the instrucBefore breaktions and discussions ing up, they sent a cablegram of homage to the Holy Father. The Marist Missionaries are working in the Fiji There are 15,000 Catholics Islands. there. Statue of Blessed Mother Carried in Triumph Along River of Siam. Rajaburi (Siam) .—An impressive procession of boats along the River Meklong, Siam, in which the statue of the Blessed Mother was carried in triu 1ph marked the closing of the centenary celebrations commemorating the Council of Ephesus, which were held under the direction of the Salesians in the mission of Rajaburi, Siam. The long line of boats formed on the water in the evening, while thousands of young and old holding flambeaus joined in the procession on other boats or lined the banks of the river. The first boat carried a huge cross, and the statue of the Blessed Virgin was carried on the final boat. Three brass The bands were in the procession. Buddhists gazed on the scene in speechless and respectful wonder, watching thousands of Christians singing the praises of the Mother of God as they held aloft their lighted torches. Missionaries Start Econowic Welfare Association. Capetown, South Africa.—An association formed by the Catholic missionaries of Basutoland, South Africa, for the economic welfare of the natives, has been approved by His Excellency the High Commissioner and the Basutoland Government. The object of the association is to uplift the economic conditions of the Basutos by: (1) Encouraging thrift and economy; (2) Improving the quality of agriculture in Basutoland, i.e., afforestation, farming and gardening: (3) Developing home industries. To attain its object the association shall: (1) Advise the members as to the best method of buying farming implements, school requisites, groceries, hardware, and other cornmodifies; (2) advise the members as to the best markets in which to sell their produce; (3) encourage members to produce articles of home industry; ( 4) aid them in disposing of these articles to the best advantage of the producer. The planting of trees has been encouraged, particularly because of the urgent necessity of afforestation in this part of Africa. This is an instance of missionaries interesting themselves in the worries and problems of their people, and thus following out the directions given in the "Rerum Novarurn" of Leo XIII. and the "Quadragesimo Anno" of Pius XI. ndian Catholic Union Founded. I Lahore (India).—A Catholic Union, founded for the purpose of establishing Catholics' social and civil rights, has been begun in the diocese of Lahore, India. The social and secular condi-
/ tions of Indian Catholics are reported in some parts to be becoming weaker and weaker, due especially to the fact that many of the Catholics are illiterate and needy, and to the fact also that some of them still adhere to their ancient customs. The Indian Catholic Union Sialkot has submitted resolutions to the government authorities asking that the Catholics of the district of Sialkot be recognised as. agriculturists, and therefore allowed to purchase land, from which right they are at present debarred under the alienation of the Land Act. They also asked that they be admitted to the civil service and allowed to enlist in the army and police force. Captive Missionary Released. Rome.—A telegram received at the Generalate of the Salvatorian Fathers here announces the release of Father Coloman Buhler, after a period of more than four months' detention by banAs announced at the time, dits. Father Buhler was captured on December 2, while searching for the remains of one of his confreres, Father Geser, who was killed by bandits last June 1. For some time after, Father Buhler was taken by the bandits, no news was to he had from him. Finally, a letter was received asking for the prayers of his confreres. Negotiations were begun for his release without any immediate results, and it was feared that he had met the same fate as Father Geser. The telegram received does not state the manner in which he regained his freedom. The Independent Mission of Shaowu, on the northern borders of Fukien Province, consists of mountainous country which is almost completely infested with bandit hordes, who impede the work of evangelisation. Missionaries of the Society of the Divine Saviour are in charge.
Catholics of Rhodesia Walk 15 Miles To Hear Mass. Salisbury (Southern Rhodesia, South A frica).—Rising from sleep in the middle of night, and tramping through the cold for 15 miles. in order to hear Mass, is the Sunday programme for the African Catholics living in the outlying districts of the Prefecture of Salisbury, Southern Rhodesia. Rey. James Kendal, S.J., was taking the place of a fellow missionary in an out station of the region one Sunday not long ago. When he ar:ived he found the people squatting outside around the church, and they told him that they were waiting for the rest of the congregation. After an hour's wait the late corners arrived. It was then that he learned that they had risen very early and had started out on their long tramp to church while it was still dark.

Gulu (Equatorial Nile, Uganda, Africa).—The Prefecture Apostolic of Gulu, at the headwaters of the River Nile, will soon have its own cathedral. The new structure, which is being erected by the labours of Catholic natives in this wild section of the African jungles, will be an imposing edifice. The primitive sons of the Church have already made more than 500,000 bricks for the structure, and have offered their services for the construction of the new cathedral without any desire for material recompense. The completion of the work will mark a new era in the labour of evengelisation of the Acioli Tribe, which inhabits this region. The Prefecture Apostolic of Equatorial Nile is entrusted to the Sons of the Sacred Heart (Missionaries of Verona). Monsignor Anthony Vignato is the spiritual head of the territory, which embraces 20,700 square miles, partly in Uganda and partly in the Anglo-EgypThere are 27,734 Cathotian Sudan lics and 2,462 catechumens in a total The mission population of 585,000. counts 21 priests, 11 Brothers, and 29 Sisters. Century of Apostolate in Kiangsi Provines, China. Rome.—Catholic missions in the Province of Kiangsi, Central China, are this year celebrating the first centenary of their foundation. The apostolate this important province of China, which counts 24,500,000 inhabitants, was begun in 1832 by Father Laribe, French Vincentian, with the assistAt the ance of four native helpers. time the section was under the jurisdiction of the Dominican Mission of Fukien. In 1838 the Vicariate Apostolic of Kiangsi-Chekiang was erected. A t the time the two provinces counted 6.000 Christians. To-day Kiangsi Province alone is divided into four Vicariates, entrusted to American, French, and Italian Vincentians. The Catholic population numbers 100,000, cared felby 146 missionaries, 76 foreign. and 70 native priests. In its hundred years of life, the territory has suffered many persecutions, and eight priests have met violent deaths. At the present time evangelisation is at a low ebb. due to the constant scourge of bandits and Communists, who destroy ruthlessly the careful work of years, and in many places make it impossible for the missionaries to occupy their posts

"Worse Than Any War"
In a striking address at Manchester, recently, to 3.500 Catholic mothers, Cardinal .Bourne declared that things are happening in England which are InfinitelY worse than war or a financial crisis—namely, immoral practices which degrade the UP family soul and threaten to break life and, therefore, jeopardise the nation's existence. "If family life Is sound," said His, Eminence, "then c ivilisation will be sound. If family
replied, with a smile. you feel yourself?"
life goes to pieces, there is absolutely no hope for civilisation." The picture as painted by the Cardinal. though a sombre picture of the world's spiritual condition, was, however, not such that Catholics should be pessimistic about the future. In His Eminence's view, we have a right, even a duty, to be full of hope, and the reasons he gives for that hope are the Faith and the influence of so many faithful Christian mothers, whom he dignified as the hope of Christian civilisation.
No," complained Professor McCanny to his students, "ye dinna use your faculties of observation! Ye dinna use them. For instance"— Picking up a jar of chemicals of offensive odour, he stuck one finger into it and then into his mouth. "Taste it, gentlemen!" he commanded, as he passed the vessel from student to student. A fter each one had licked his finger and had felt rebellion through his whole being, the old professor replaced t he jar and rubbed his hands gleefully together. "I told you so!" he exclaimed triumphantly. "Ye dinna use your faculties! If ye had observed, ye would ha' seen that the finger I stuck into the jar wasna the finger I stuck into my mouth!" 4
"You keep a joint bank account with your wife, do you not?" "Yes—I deposit the money, and she draws it out!" New Boarder: "I see they have no bill of fare here." Old Boarder: "Don't worry—you'll soon learn it!" "Do you propose to marry?" asked Miss White of young Mr. Brown. "Well, I haven't priposed yet;" he replied in a tone which forbade further inquiries. A teacher who was giving her boys a lesson in geology remarked: "What are the two chief minerals obtained in Ireland? ' "Ginger-beer and soda-water!" answered one lad. .* Hicks: "I'm surprised that Flowers should marry that homely old heiress aftet saying that marrying for money would be the last thing he'd do!" Wicks: "Well, he hasn't done anything since!" A
A parishioner, meeting his parson, who was carrying a brief bag, remarked: "Got your lunch, vicar?" "Sermons." returned the clergyman. "Food for thought, you know." "Oh, I see—dried tongue!" Two men were discussing the eloquence of a T.D. "You ought to hear him!" said one. "I did hear him," replied the other. "I listened to him for two hours." "What was he talking about?" "I don't know; he didn't say!" "And you say that Bromley was cured of a bad attack of insomnia by suggestion?" "Yes—purely by suggestion! His wife suggested that since he could not sleep he might as well sit up and amuse the baby. It worked like a sharm 1" An old countrywoman. going to Dublin by train, stepped into a first-class carriage with her basket and made herself comfortable. Just before the train started, the guard passed along, and noticing the woman and the basket, said gruffly: "Are you first-class, my good woman?" "Sure, I am, and thank you!" she
"And how do
There had been a missionary sermon and collection at a certain church, and a little girl who had acompanied her father to the service seemed perplexed and meditative. When she reached home she asked her mother whether the natives of Africa, or whom they had heard, wore any clothes. "No," replied her mother, "they don't." "Then," said the observant "what was the use of the button that father put in the plate?" Molly: "And what did you poet do when you turned him down?" Dolly: "Oh. he threw himself into the wastepaper basket." "How old did you say you were?" "I never mentioned my age, but as a matter of fact, I've just reached 21." "Indeed! What detained you?" Mr. Down and Out: "I wish something would turn up, don't you. my dear?" Mrs. Down and Out: "I certainly do! What about starting on your sleeves?" Brown (making a presentation of a clock and purse , : "The contents of the purse will in time inevitably disappear, but," laying his hand on the clock, "here is something which will never go." "Sir, your daughter has promised to be my wife," said the young man. "Well, don't come to me for sympathy. I knew something would happen to you hanging round the house every evening." Employer (to typist) : "By the Way, are you doing anything particular tonight?" "No, nothing at alL" "Good! then go to bed early and try to come in on time in the morning." She was very proud of her son's Prowess. "He must be a very fast runner," she said, showing a paper to a friend. "It says here that he fairly burned up the track under his recordbreaking speed, and it's true, because I saw it this morning, and the track was nothing but cinders." "I'll never get over what I saw last night." "'Why, what was it?" "The moon!" "Now, young man, you've been coming here quite a lot; what do you want with my daughter?" "Well, sir, you know best what you can afford." a. Budding Virtuoso (after playing violin selection to famous critic) : "Well, what do you think of my execution?' Critic: " Ithink its inevitable."
