Hum U g) That is my idea of a nation, not on its knees, but on its pride and dig- nity,--hut ever on its search for God. Not in frenzied gusts of pious enthu- siasm; not at rare and haphazard in- tervals, but as regularly as the pro- cession of the sun, let all the Churches proclaim the call to meditation and to prayer. Say what you will, the in- stinct of communion with God is a deeply implanted human impulse; but it has little to do with churches or ' ereeds, with systems of theology or dogmas of divinity. It is the cry of the soul for soccer, the sigh of the heart for comfort, the yearning of man to his Maker. In its very nature, that sentiment is independent of any formal circumstance. That is the hauty of the Angelus. The evening ll calls men and women not to church, but to God. It summons them not to any priestly sacrament, but to spiritual communion with the Infinite mnrt---to the Altars of Heaven. I sometimes wonder why a rite so ac- l ceptable to Protestant theology has ', been preserved in Roman Catholic It ntries and allowed to lapse in the 1 ma. that followed Luther. Such 1 blems are too high for me. To me, " are is an element of tmth in every (t religion. After all, no single creed t can more than lift the hem of Heav- I s en’s great mantle of mystery.

The principal trouble is that the Prussian: are taking away nearly everything, and what they leave is seized by the Austrians. I Mr. Tabody, in the Pesti Napolo, ‘tells that "women have to stand one or two hours to get a few potatoes; lfrom two to three hours if they want (a bit of sausage, from three to four "tours for a quarter of a pound of (sugar and from four to five hours for a bit of lard or fat. A woman 'who wants to get something to eat for her children every day must spend at least five or six hours, waiting in the queues." l ‘Food in Hungary is Now Practically l Non-Existent. The Hungarian Government, fright- ened by the spectre of famine, is seek- ing to appoint a food dictator, but can find nobody to undertake the job and dictate with regard to food which has no existence, writes a Swiss cor- respondent. He says the commonest sight in Budapest is that of little crowds, mainly women, who wait wearily outside the shops for food which they cannot got. f i ‘l'nese comparisons are most illum- I inating, as they would seem to show {conclusively that while the railroads jhernseives', by a systematic and well- :directed effort, have steadily improv- (ed the record of accidents over which they can exercise some control, yet public officials and state and national governmental bodies have been la- mentabiy lax in educating the public how to avoid dangers that are comy mon, and have been most deplorably inefficient in the matter of prescrib-' ing and enforcing measures to require 1 the public to use ordinary caution, and thus protect citizens against thei consequences of their own failure GI "stop, look and listen." i ri A peculiar condition was revealed Vii also by the records of accidents to the 3 people over which the railways have lno, or very little, control.

I Oriental Confectionery. l It is acknowledged that the Chinese are very skilful in making confec- tionery and possess the reputation of having many secrets. They are able to empty an orange of its pulp en- tirely, then fill it up with fruit jelly without one being able to find the smallest cut in the rind or even a tiny hole. Indeed they even empty an egg in this manner and till it with a sort of almond nugget without one being able to find the slightest break or incision in the shell. I To-day the word "parlous" is used in the sense of a person being in a serious way of ill-health, or a busi- ness very low in fimutres, and yet its real meaning is "bright, witty, and spritely," and was used in that sense in the days of Shakespeare. If, for instance, you ask people if ithey have seen to-day's newspaper, they may answer: "Oh, we just scan- ned it," meaning to imply that they have only "glanced" at it, while the word "sean" really means "to exam- ine minutely or carefully.
