Pointers -Ahnnf aChic- -


"Chic" is said to be the only French
word with no equivalent in any other
language. Webster says it stands for
good form" and "styIe," but this is
not the Partisan sense Of the word at
all In Germany it is taken to mean
the proper thing in dress. In England
and some other countries they use it to
indicate smartness-a certain delicate
self confidence or swagger In truth a
whole sentence is required TO translate
it, for it includes the ideas of prompt
ness, fitness, good Judgment, proper
style and graceful action.
When Marshal McMahon laid down
the presidency in 1879 all Paris said he
had acted with chic" Sadi-Carnot
presides and receives, reviews the troops
and talks to ladies with chic Con
spicuous gallautfy in battle is "chic, -
and so is the appearance Of a noble look
ing man, the address Of an orator, the
repartee of a witty woman or the fitting
plea Of an advocate. 1t includes the
idea Of originality among other things,
and finally it is pronounced "sheek, -

called Her the neantIfnI Queen.

There Is a flavor Of war, romance and
chivalry about the life story Of "Beauti-
full Queen Darinka," as her devoted
Montenegrin subjects called her She
died recently at Venice and was taken
to Montenegro for burial. Although
but ffty-four years Of age she had ex-
perienccd many vicissitudes and adven-
lures. She was the daughter Of a Trieste
merchant. and married Prince Danilo in
1853. For thirty-two years she mourned
her consort, who was murdered in the
summer Of 1860 just as he was going
ashore, together with the queen, at Cat
taro, by one Of his own subjects, whose
brother had been condemned to death
some years previously by the prince.
An extraordinary story was told in
connection with Danilos death. Shortly
after his marriage, when the Montene-
grins were fighting the Turks, tie
women of the Black mountain caused a
magnificent flag to be embroidered for
the warriors. The face of Beautiful
Darinka" was reproduced on the flag,
and the wild Montenegrins fell down be-
fore it and called out, "Be thou our
patron saint in the holy war" During
the battle of Grahova three bullets tore
the flag; one went through the fore
head, one through the heart and one
through the finger ON which the figure
of the princess wore her wedding ring.
The priests and the old women of Monte
negro whispered, ut is an evil omen
and signifies that the Velid Knyas, the
great prince, will die young" The
prophecy was fulfilled.

would give 100 times as much light.
But so far science cannot tell how the

dozen or so of them in a cage and obtain
a light sufficient to read by. 1t is ac-

Bishop Mcdonnell, who is but thirty
eight years old, viii be the youngest
member of the American Catholic hier-
archy. He was born Of humble parents
in the Seventh ward of the city of New
York. He received his preliminary edu-
cation in Brooklyn, and afterward be-
came a student at the De La Sale insti-
tute and st. Francis Xavier's college,
New York.
Young McDonnells wonderful mental
attainments enabled him to enter on his
theological studies two years in advance
of his classmates. At the age Of eight
cen he went to Rome and entered the
American college. He was there or
dained a priest in 1878, and soon after
returned to New York. He was assigned
TO different churches in that city, and in
1894 became Cardinal McCloskey's pri-
vate secretary. On the death of that
prelate he filed similar position for
Archbishop Corrigan, and was after

He resigned from the British military
service thirty-five years ago TO iocate in
Ceylon. The advancement Of the isle
has since been rapid and the population
exceeds 5000, 600, the exports are near
$25, 900, 900 and the imports as great, the
former being largely in coffee and the
latter in breadstuffs and British manu-
features. The Ceylon parliament has
appropriated 1872 600 for its exhibit at
Chicago, and the Ceylonese pavilion
will be constructed entirely of native
materials. Though a British colony,
Ceylon enjoys a fair measure Of self
government.

subsequently graduated from the Grand
Seminary of Hyeres, and returning to st.
Paul in 1861 was ordained a priest in
December Of that year Shortly after
ward he went south rs chaplain Of the
Fifth Minnesota regiment, but failing
health compelling his return TO St. Paul,
he was appointed rector Of the cathedral
The young priest was instrumental in
founding many prosperous Catholic col
Onies in Minnesota. He was an indie
fatigable worker, and his labors were
rewarded in 1875, when Pope Plus TX
appointed him titular bishop Of Maronea
and vicar apostolic Of Nebraska. At the
urgent solicitation Of Bishop Grace, Of
st. Paul, who was averse to losing the
services of so valuable man, the pope
appointed the new bishop the coadjutor
of Bishop Grace. In June, 1888, at the
papal consistory held in Rome, he was
precOnized archbishop and his former
diocese erected into an archdiocese. His
selection rs cardinal recently is a fit
rounding off Of the brilliant career of a
remarkable man. Heis man Of broad

Is at home many white visitors to Rich

by special request he has repeated his
argument for the Ptolemaic theory
about 300 times. A correspondent of
the Chicago Times, who heard him in
1886, gives this description:
He is venerable three-quarter mis-
cegene Chat is nearly full black, with
fine forehead and very pleasant ad-
dress. His text was, "The queen of the
south shall rise up against this genera
ton and condemn it." ETC., and as he
went on and grew more excited his Ian
guage gradually changed to the planta-
ton lingo and he looked more African.
Swaying TREMENDOUSLY, or leaning far over
the pulpit and waving his long arms, he
half sung, half shouted a gorgeous de-
scription Of paradise.
The tropical imagery was wonderful:
Shining sands, crystal streams and ever
green shores; golden crowns, immortal
harps and never whitening flowers; the
sun that never sets, the palms that never
fade and the love that never grows cold.

soul to the sUpermagnolous bowers of
bliss and to feed US, oh, to feed us at the

that are for the healing Of the nations"
