The most wonderful book in the
world, perhaps, is 'The Passion Of
Christ" 1t is the property of the French
Prince Deligne, and is principally re-
markable from the fact that it is neither
written nor printed. 1t consists of
alternate leaves of blue and white, and
as the letters are cut out of the white
pages, 1t conveys the impression of being
printed with blue ink. The volume was
a curiosity as long ago as 1910, and it is
related that Rudolph II Of Germany, on
one occasion offered II 900 ducats for it,
and even then did not succeed in OBJ
tanning possession. 1t is estimated that
many years Of labor Of a particularly
skilled artisan were expended on 1.-THE
Passion of Christ" as the letters are all
perfect and clean cut.

Mentioned for Attorney General.

WASHINGTON, April IA. The aspi-
rants for the vacant seat on the supreme
bench and the friends who have been
urging their claims upon the President
are generally disheartened by the i'm
preston they get that the office is to go
to Attorney General Miller. President
Harrison has long desired to honor his
old friend and partner by giving him a
judgeship. If Attorney General Miller
should be promoted to the supreme
bench, the friends of Assistant Attorney
General John B. Cotton of Lewiston,

the vacant attorney generalship might
possibly follow. Mr.. Cotton is consid-
cred in Washington a very able lawyer.

The illness, which is the penalty of a
disregard of this rule, is said to cause
the most acute pains in the head Of the
sufferer, which sometimes develops in
sanity.
