I GENERAL INTENTION. j The Golden Jubilee of Our Holy Father's Priesthood. i -tp intention recommended this I riontli the opening of the New Year, I io the prayers of The Apostleship, will 1 fmnfal with especial force to all our As-i As-i tnriates. Our prayers are requested for the blessings of the Sacred Heart, upon I ur Holy Father, on the occasion of the golden Jubilee of his Priesthood. . 1 Seedier to say, this request, com-1 com-1 ,,' froni our Holy Father Himself, will j IJppi with a ready response in the heart ! pf every true child of the Church. How iurh more ?$Jthen from every member ? rf the league of the Sacred Heart. r 7a I'fuP X hare been committed in a rrtfeu'11'' manner the interestsort earth pf the H'jart of our Blessed Savior. He j jn this world the Vicar of Christ, His j vifib)" Representative among men. To i Htin have been addressed the words J F;ioken P'J long- ago on the lakeshore of d'alilee to Peter: "Feed my sheep, feed jny lambs." This feeding of the sheep ? end the lambs, which devolves upon the 1 Supreme Shepherd of souls upon earth. I js a work unspeakably dear to the JIart of our Blessed Lord. It was for the feeding of the flock that He was bnrn in Bethlehem, toiled at Nazareth, preached on the hills and in the valleys of Galilee and died on Golgotha. It was fur this that He hung three hours on the crn?s and bled and died in shame. To carry on and direct this work for j vhich He gave His life. He has given to Pius the same commission that He bestowed upon Peter. How ready then that Heart will be to grant our prayers that the heart of our Hly Father, may be strong and brave in the work committed com-mitted to his keeping and his doing. .At this time, too, when the Holy Fath- er has so many enemies, not only out-l out-l side the Church, but even among His j own children, our prayers are the more i reeded. We surely should watch and ! jray more when there are traitors with-; with-; in the camp and deserters in the lines of the enemy. ' Prayers then, both fervent and con- 1 s.ant. will be the grateful tribute which S the loving children of Pius X will of-i of-i ft- their affectionate Father, on the I c -''aslon of His feast of joy, His Gold-!

They are a conservative, de- literate people, slow to accept new-i new-i fancied things, and not given to en-I en-I thusiasm over political ure-alls. Their i railroads have shown amazing devel-! devel-! ppmonts in recent years. Trackage has ; ben increased and the facilities en-i en-i larged at a tremendous rate. Much of the capital and some of the ablest officials of-ficials have come from this side of the border. Neither investors nor man-ngers man-ngers complain of irksome restrictions iior unwarranted interference on the part of the government. And yet they have in Canada a railroad commission, consisting of three members, appointed for life, with powers more drastic and far-reaching than are possessed by any body in this country, state or national. Here are some of the things that the Canadian railroad commission is empowered em-powered to Co: It may compel the abolition of grade crossings or compel the railroad companies com-panies to construct subways or overload over-load ciossings. ' It may compel changes in time tables , t end require the putting on of addition-: addition-: fc! trains to meet the traffic.

I vox me not with brooding on the years That were ere I drew breath; why should I then Distrust the darkness that may fall again When life is done? Perchance in other spheres Dead planets I once tasted mortal tears. And walked as now amid a throng of men. Pondering things that lay beyond my ken. Questioning death and solacing my fears. Oftimes indeed strangCsense have I of this, Vague memories that hold me with a spell. Touches of unseen lips upon my brow. Breathing some incommunicable bliss! In years foregone, O Soul, was all not well? Still lovelier life awaits thee. Fear not thou? Congregation Saw the Joke. (Boston Herald.) Former President Patton of Princeton Prince-ton university recently delivered a sermon ser-mon at Fifth avenue collegiate church o nthe subject of "Faith." He spoke of the blind faith of the client who puts himself at the mercy of a lawyer in preparing an action for trial, and of the confidence of the sick in intrusting themselves to the physician. "A case of blind faith," said the clergyman. cler-gyman. "The doctor writes out a prescription. pre-scription. Oftener than not you cannot can-not read it and you don't know what it is. He tells you to take it. 'Tours is not to reason why; yours but to do and die.' " Whether or not Dr. Patten meant it, there was a distinct ripple throughout the congregation. Envy. Envy i? a cancerous growth that eats into the heart of love. Envy is a gangrene humor that kills aspiration i at the root. Envy is the unthinking bane of smallness. It wants that which is another's instead of making the most, of that which is her's. Envy is torn by lVhes because it does not realize their Superficiality. Envy is embittered by success because it does not consider consid-er the price of success. Envy is galled by love, because it does not count its sacrifices. Envy looks green at simple goodness "because it does not know from what God-like depths it comes. THE HILLS OF HOME. If you have a job worth keeping, Just hang on; Some one for it is a-seeking. So hang on. Work the very best you can Better than the other man. You will find it the best plan To hang on. If the road is growing thorny, Just hang on; Mind not if your hands get horny. Just hang on. Labor's what the stomach Alls: Gives the health that throbs and thrills. It's the rapid pace that kills; Don't hang on. I If you're going up the slope, , Just hang on; ', And the auto gear gets broke, ' Just hang on. Your machine may take a hump, Fly down hill and hit a stump; Though you're senseless from the bump, Just hang on. If your watch and chain's in pawn, Just hang on To the ticket and hope on; Just hope on. Maybe luck will come your way; You may have a winning day. Take my advice; hear what I say, And hang on.

Another remarkable old master has been added to the long list of famous canvases acquired by American collectors collec-tors in the past few years. Catholina Lambert of Paterson, N. J., has purchased pur-chased through the Blakeslee Galleries the most important and valuable of the examples of Bernadino Luini, entitled "The Virgin Enthroned," and it is soon to be installed in his gallery at Paterson. Pater-son. The price paid for the picture approximates ap-proximates $50,000. It was obtained from an old private collection in England Eng-land last summer, and the owners stipulated stip-ulated that their identity should be kept secret. The picture, which measures 4Vix8 feet, is remarkably well preserved, and is beautiful and rich in color. It represents rep-resents the Virgin, clad in rich, flowing flow-ing robes of bhie and red, seated in a gold chair on a throne and holding the Christ child, who stands erect, on her left knee. Two cherubim are hovering over the Virgin's head playing lutes, one on each side, and three are playing play-ing flutes, seated on the steps of the altar, on which rests the Virgin's chair. The composition is most striking strik-ing and the expression of the Virgin and child and of the attendanCfher-ubim attendanCfher-ubim ineffably sweet. In fact." in composition, com-position, arrangement, drawing and ooldr, the picture ranks with the best known examples of the early Italian master extant. The coming to America Amer-ica of such a masterpiece is an event of the greatest interest in the art world. ' "! J Bernardino Luini, sometimes called Bernadino di Lupiuo, was born at Lui-no Lui-no on the Iago Maggiore, Italy, between be-tween 1460-1470. He was a pupil of Stefano Scotto, but in the middle Vf his career became an imitator and follower fol-lower of Leonardo da Vinci. His early works bear no trace of Leonardo's style, but his later productions, while they have originality, often suggest Leonardo, and many of his canvases have consequently been attributed to the latter painter. They have the same taste in composition and design, and the same peculiarity of color and extraordinary ex-traordinary relief as those of Leonardo Luini worked considerably in the churches of Milan and neighboring towns. His greatest work is a series of pictures illustrating the life of the Virgin at Saronno, and in which the Virgin is represented with a beauty, dignity and modesty which recall Raphael. Ra-phael. The artist was also renowned for his frescoes, of which the principals are the "Christ Crowned with Thorns" in the Collegio del S. Sepulcro and those in the Monastero Maggiore at Milan. Luini died in 1553. American art lovers who have been in England will recall the superb example ex-ample of Luini, the "Christ Disputing with the Doctors," in the National Gallery Gal-lery of London.

After a recovery from certain diseases dis-eases the human constitution becomes more vigorous and robust than it was before the illness. It will be much tho same with the American body politic when it emerges from the period of convalescence following the financial fever of the last few days. Much will be gained after recovery from the malady whose fluctuations have been lecorded by the stock ticker, if the shoemaker will still to his last more intently and the managers of the mora pretentious entsrprises, corporate or otherwise, will give exclusive and faithful attention to the practical duties du-ties of their positions. The strong industrial, in-dustrial, railway, insurance and other corporate enterprises were founded by men who devoted themselves to the business their" Institutions were chartered char-tered to promote. If there be no departure de-parture from this safe and sound policy these enterprises are likely to stand like a rock against the storms that disturb the financial world. Public confidence has been shaken by the excessive ex-cessive exploitation not of the proper business of certain corporations, but of their stocks and securities to advance the personal schemes of high officials. "Gentlemen's agreements" for doubtful, doubt-ful, perhaps sinister purposes, securing possession of a chain of banks to further fur-ther tho ends of purely speculative pools and combinations, are among the abuses of "high finance" revealed during dur-ing the depression from which we are recovering. The real property of the country is' intact. Preparing for an Operation. (By Josephine Hill.) Surgery prevents much unnecessary suffering and it prolongs many a useful use-ful and nappy life: but it is such a fine art that its requirements are many and. even to the smallest detail, the strictest care must be observed and the doctor's orders must be absolutely carried out. If not. there may be infection, in-fection, and which the surgeons think can be prevented by cleanliness according accord-ing to surgical ideas. Before going under a surgical operation opera-tion the patient must go through a routine preparation that is necessary for her own benefit. The day before the operation the patient enters the hospital (if the operation is to be performed per-formed there) and submits to the preparations prep-arations without a murmur; but it is the patients who stay at hom5, and have the operation there, to whom I want to give a word of warning. Do not disregard any of the orders left by your surgeon. He knows.- and you do not. Each thing he tells you to do, or not to do, has a reason, and a very good one. The day before the operation you should be more or less quiet. Do not let hysterical hys-terical friends see and talk to you of horrible operations. Do not let your family even besiege you with attentions and get you worked up to the pitch of nervousness. Take it calmly and leave the responsibility respon-sibility of it to your surgeon and his assistants. Go into it with the feeling that you want to, be well soon and will help yourself by not worrying. If' you have a surgical nurse with you for the time being, let her get the run of the house and know where things are kept; because be-cause after the operation you should not be worried by domestic affairs. The surgeon will order a cathartic to be given at bedtime the night before the operation. I have often had ra- tients to question the sense of this, saying "the system should not be weakened by physic." On the other hand, it is absolutely necessary to have the liver in good order, the stomach sweetened up, and the intestines In good order before the operation. The dinner or supper the night before be-fore should be moderate and nourishing. nourish-ing. One small chop and bread and butter will be about enough, unless especially specified by your surgeon according ac-cording to your own case. Tu should have a warm tub bath the night before an operation, if you are well enough; otherwise, a sponge bath in bed, between be-tween blankets. Your head should have had a bhampoo during the day. Remember there are two circumstances circum-stances under which a patient under-gies under-gies an operation. One condition is where there is a mechanical obstruction obstruc-tion or growth and which is discovered before the trouble begins. Under these conditions there is no Inflammation, no pain, and the patient practically feels well, such as when there is no tumor, or when a patient has had one attack of appendicitis and decides to have the appendix taken out before another attack. at-tack. In cas?s of acute inflammation, causing caus-ing fever and excruciating pain, there will likely be a nurse, who will carry out the surgeon's preparation. So it is mere to the "well patients" I am giving giv-ing a little advance, for there have been cases where they disregard the surgeon's orders, and the consequences were faatl. On the morning- of the operation the patient will be told to eat fio breakfast, break-fast, only to drink a cup of coffee or tea, for if you eat any solid food before be-fore you take ether or chloroform it causes nausea. If the patient should vomit while the surgeon is performing the operation, and tying up ligaments, veins, and arteries, it is too important a time to stop and help the patient. Being unconscious, he cannot help himself. Pieces of solid food clog in the throat and windpipe, suffocation ensues, then death, all for the sake of a little useless food. This has really happened, where the patient promised to regard the surgeon's sur-geon's orders if left alone, at home, then decided it was foolish to go without with-out dinner, which she ate heartily, did not tell the surgeon, and choked to death while under the effects of ether. Whilo the picture is not pretty, it has Its lesson. Obey those who know more of important things than you do. The nexttning ia to have your mental men-tal poise. I have heard patients say: "I went to the.operating table thinking to myself if I will trust that all goes well;" others go with a.( prayer in their heart and external calm. It is really a help to have a peaceful feeling of coming relief, and take in the ether quietly, by inhaling it slowly , and breathing deep, Just as the assistant surgeon will direct you. Do not resist the feeling of floating in the air. but take it in deeply, and let yourself float into unconsciousness, for that is what the surgeon wishes. 'For Her Own Projection. (Philadelphia Press.) "Yes. madam." said the salesman, "this is the most exquisite dinner set we ever handled. The price is $150." "I'll take it," aid Mrs. Richley, "if you will agree to mark it 'Imitation. Price $6.90.' " "Of course, but er that's rather an odd request." - "Yes. but I want to deceive our servant ser-vant girl."
