Pho NOnO's Early Life.

Giovanni-Maria Giovanni-Baptista Pi-
etro Isidoro Mastai-F erretti, known near
ly 80 years to the world as Pho Mono,
was born at Sinigaglia, an old colony
founded by the Romans in Cispadane
Gaul, on the 18th day of May, 1872. In
1892, the year of his birth, his father,
the Count Girolamo, had just left office
as Goufalonero of Sinigaglia, and his
wife, Caterina, the daughter of the Count
Solazzi, a lady of extraordinary beauty,
was already the mother of six children.
At the age Of - Giovanni was sent to
the College of Volterra, in Tuscany.
There he remained for six years, and
upon making his first appearance in the
world he sought admission into the
Guards of his relative, the reigning
Pope Plus VII, but nervous disorder,
under which he was then suffering, de
barred him from a military career, and
he Immediately directed his studies
to theology. Some time before this
poor working mason named Giovanni
Borgi had founded, at Rome, an orphan
asylum called Tata Giovanni, and Plus
VII. placed him at its head, even before
he had entered the priesthood. His
connection with this benevolent institu-
ton lasted, indeed, until the 9TH Of
July, 1928, when Monsignor Muzzi,
created Vicar Apostolic for Chill, in
dnced him to accompany him in his
travels into what was then an almost
unknown land. For two years the
young priest remained in America, tray
cling from mission to mission, and on
his return to Rome he was, on the Sd of
June, 1925, ordained Bishop. On the
Dist of May, 1928, he was created Arch
bishop of Spoleto, and subsequently, on
the 18th of September, 1882, transferred
TO the See of Imola, where, in 1910,
he was elevated to the rank of Car
dinal, and remained until the death of
Gregory XVI. summoned him to Rome,
to sit IN the Conclave which ultimately
elected him Pope. The Sacred College
assembled on the 14th of June, 1916,
and on the 10Th of the same month the
Cardinals were enabled to declare to,,the
people from the windows of the Con-
clave, PapGn, RabenuS-" We have
Pope"
The events which comprise the histo-
ry of the Pope's later years are
familiar to most readers, and are too
varied and momentous in their charac-
ter to be condensed in brief newspa-
per biography.

The Mexican ladies dress in the most
vivid colors and striking contrasts.
They combine the handsomest articles OF
attire with the commonest and poorest.
In the intervals of dancing the women
retire to the dressing-roOm and refresh
themselves with wine or beer and
cigarettes. Even the youngest girls
smoke. The dancing is similar to ours,
except it is much slower. They only
had one national dance, which is called
the "danza." This is danced in the
slowest possible manner, and is well
adapted for warm climates. A young
