property, now that alIthe sales have been per-
fected, is, in round numbers, thirty-seven mill
lions of francs. This will leave each Of the
children of Louis Philippe worth only about a
million of dollars apiece. The grand children
of course, will divide their deceased parents
share. Consequently, the young Count of Pa
ris, who would now be King of the French, if
the Orleans dynasty had continued, will receive
but halfa million, his younger brother taking
the other half. Circumstances arising out of
the will of his aunt, Madame Adelaide, may, it
is said, deprive him even of this half million,
and leave him entirely penniless.

Ertraragances Of Monks.-St. Por walked
while eating, because he did not consider that

and never lay down, because it would be too
comfortable. Beradat enveloped himself in a
sack of skins, with only holes for his mouth
and nose. Eufraxia, female saint, was in con-
vent of one hundred and thirty nuns, not one
of whom ever washed her feet, and bath was
an abomination with them. Linen was too
great a luxury, hence they used flannel which
would soon produce tormentng vermin. St
Macarus one day killed gnat struck with re-
morse, be exposed himself to all insects in a
marsh, till, according to Sosemen, his skin was
so hard that his beard could not get through.
But st. Simeon was the most ingenious of all

much admired that he even rebuked the emper-
or Theodosius with impunity-he was called
st. Simeon Stylites.
