law in that city. Beginning practice at
Fort Wayne in 1888, somewhat later he was
appointed cashier of n branch of the State
bank of Indiana and also a director Of that
institution In 1868. at the request of Mr..
Chase Mr.. McCulloch went to Washington
to organize n national bureau of currency.
In 1865 he was selected by Mr.. Lincoln secre-
tary of the treasury, filling this office until
March, 1869 In the following year Mr..
McCulloch went to London rs n partner In
the banking house of jay Cook, McCulloch
e. Co, which firm was afterward changed to
the STYLE of that Of McCulloch & Co. in 1874.
He returned to the United States in 1876.
One Sunday afternoon in the fall of 1883,
during President Arthur's administration,
Mr. McCulloch and family lad gathered
around a cheerful fire in the large sitting
room at his country seat when n carriage
drewup the long winding path leading to the
house 1t proved to be the presidents and
soon Mr. Arthur alighted Heartily well
comed he enjoyed what he afterward spoke
of as delightful evening Requesting
few minutes of private conversation with
FIR McCulloch before going, the gentlemen
retired to an adjoining room, After the
president had gone Mr.. McCulloch Informed
the family that he had been asked by the
president to accept the office of secretary Of
the treasury during the remainder of his
administration. A hearty cheer from the

important Office save sir. McCulloch.

youths stick to the scientific principles Of
comic sections. "Conic sections!" exclaims
the fair junior. "What a delightful sugges-
ton there is in the parabola for the outline

At Sage college are found the post gradu-
ate, the senior, the junior, tie sophomore
and the freshmen classes. Now, if the style
Of the hat were graduated among these four
divisions rs to comeliness, by the same
rule as would follow among men, the
Oldest class would have the prettiest hat Not
so. These things are reversed in the case OF
women. The oldest student must rest con-
tent with the plainest, while the youngest is
entitled to the daintiest. The post graduate,
for instance has the regulation silk hat lot
low CROWN for men. Then come the senior
and junior classes with Oxford mortar
boards, the senior wearing somber black
tassel, while the junior dons peacock purple.
The sophomore wears something like a
Tam o. Shanter, the color of whose tassel is
nearer the other end of the spectrum they are
all studying, and CLEANS bright red. But
the daintiest of all these hats is reserved for
the freshman of sweet sixteen, 1t may be
called dropping mortar board, tho
board of which is not a board at
all, but bends gracefully at the corners, and
willis under tassel of gold, secured by q
purple plush button. Why should the little
freshman care to climb the three higher
rounds in the university ladderi Why may
she not always remain in the youngest
class! j. K 5.

Der 1897, he received the dcacunShp AZ
the hands Of Cardinal OdescalChi, the
pope's vicar general; and on the las. day
Of that year received the complete order
Of the priesthood.

ernor Of the province Of Bcnvcnuto, which
he soon cleared of the smuggIers and
brigands with which it was infested. lie

in such IA dsordcrcd condition that

When but 33 years old Mgr. Pecci was
made papal nunCiO TO Belgium, where lie
did so great work for his church that
the pope made him bishop Of Perugia,
There he remained for thirty-One years,
and the barcst enumeration Of his laborS
for education, charity and social purity
would make too long an article for our
purpose. He was promoted to arch
bishop and then TO cardinal, and on the
death Of Plus * came the last possible
promotion.
On the 10Th of February, 1873, the
sixty four cardinals assembled in the his
toric chapel of election in Rome. Over
each seat was n canopy, four seats were
drapcd in green to represent the cardinals
created by Plus TX, and the rest were in

and paten. One by one the cardinals ad-

paten and raising that dropped the ballot
into the chalce. Then the scrutinizers
counted the votes and the count was read
aloud three times. The ballots were then
burned, and the smoke rising into the
clear air announced to the vast multitude
outside that there was yet no election.
Two-thrds were required to elect, On
the first ballot Cardinal Pecci received %,

toward him. He trembled so violently that
the pen fell from his hands, then, pale as

at a. m, and in his shirt sleeves, a broad
brimmed straw hat covering his head makes
his daily round over the extensive farm con-
nected with his place, devoting great deal
of care to the numerous broods of chickens,
which he especially takes delight in
feeding and attending, while Mrs. Nc
Culloch, with equal interest superintends
her model dairy and extensive hot
houses, where she cultivates and grows
the most delicious grapes, oranges and
flowers of all descriptions. There is no pro-
fessional florist in Washington who can
rival her in the production and growing of
rare and beautiful roses.
Mrs. McCuloch annually sends thousands
of the choicest cut flowers as presents to her
numerous friends for the decoration Of
churches and for the adornment of the sick
wards of the hospitals. If Mrs. McCulloch
ever neglected any of the many duties of her
home it was for the sake of sweet charity,
which, with her, has not always begun at
home. There is hardly another lady in
Washington who works more actively for
church and charitable institutions. In fact,
her work would soon tire out many of the
young ladies and matrons of the present
day, though Mrs. McCulloch is only ten
years the junior of her octogenarian hus-
band. Having frequently visited and lived
several years in Europe for the sake of com
pleting the education of her daughters, both
she and they have acquired a perfect COM
mand of many languages, and one rarely
meets a better informed lady than Mrs. Nc
Culloch She is also an accomplished anna
teur artist, and she knows how to delneate
her favorites-the flowers-with life like
ness and truth which place her work above
the products of many professional painters.
Holly Hills is an estate of over 400 acres Of
ground, delightfully."- situated in Maryland,
and bought by Mr.. McCulloch mostly on
account of its healthful, beautiful location.
His Washington residence is four-story
brick house, less conspicuous by its elegance
than by its home like and comfortable inte-
rior, situated in Mcpherson square, one of the
most fashionable quarters in Washington.
During the last few years Mr. McCulloch has
devoted several hours daily to the writing of
his memoirs, containing most interesting
"reminiscences of the great men and times of

many pilgrims. His mother died when he
was but years old, and Vincent, or Joa-

brother TO the Jesuit college at Niterbo,
where he soon showed remarkable pro-
ficiency in Greek and Latin. in 1925 the
famous Roman College of Jusuits was
revived; the religious orders were slowly
reinstGted after the downfall Of Napoleon,

The Hon. Hugh McCulloch, although past
his S0th year, with his still vigorous intel

specimen of ripe old age. Tall and broad
shouldered, his well rounded figure is sur
mounted by anoble, well shaped head, finely
cut, clean shaven face, scarcely showing a
wrinkle or other sign of decay. With his
kind, bright, grayish blue eyes, the mirror Of
