It's particular place is gone. and it passes into
the 'gens." If it is the father who dies, the
mother loses all maternal rights. Each childp

some one of the fathers relatives 1t may there
after be claimed his own child by the male
head of the family to which 1t has been allotted.

the Princess Amelie of Orleans, eldest daughter
of the Count of Paris The difficulty which arose
upon religious grounds has been bridged over.
The law of Russia requires every Princess mar
rying into the house of ROmanoff to join the
Greek Church; but, as Alexis has not the remoJ-
est chance of ever coming to the throne his fu-
ture wife has been allowed TO remain Catholic.
She will be the first French and Catholic prn-

Gar, who married Danish princess, now
