FERDINAND POLICY.
VIII Have His Infant Son Bapsiaed In the
Russian Church.

London. Oct. 3o.-A dispatch from
Sophia that Prince Ferdi-
nand OF Bulgaria, will have the infant
Prince Boris baptised in the Russian
orthodox faith today. Prince Ferdi-
nand Is a strong Roman Catholic. like
his mother. Princess C~lemientine, OF the
Orleanist house, and his wife, duchess
OF Parma; but In this instance he has
allowed his political ambition to get the
best OF his religious sentiments. This
move on the part OF the Bulgarian
prince will do much to secure his recog-
milton by Russia, and hence by the other
European powers. as the legitimate SOW
ereign of Bulgaria. of which principality
ne has hitherto been merely the de facto
ruler.

Already the most powerful thinkers

problem that will personally concern

AS they will be graduated in the year

be designated. Following a universal
tradition, they ought, of course, to be
referred to as belonging to the class OF

ignation is regarded as unsatisfactory.

a French gentleman in New York,
who is wrathful because his spotless
linen has been ruined by imprinting on
II his initials in indelible ink, has a host
of sympathiZers. 1t is said that the
habit of marking mems linen is at the
bottom of the sudden return of the
private w-asherwoman. The washer
woman almost disappeared and re-
manned out of sight for years until men
of good taste grew tired of having their
shirts. collars and cuffs Uttered over
with laundry marks. For some reason
no laundry will accept the mark of an
other laundry. but must put its own
stamp on Zach new piece OF wearing APP
parel 1t gets hold OF. The consequence
is that a commercial traveller can be
identified as such by whoever sees a col
lar or cuff belonging TO him. Wherever
he stops for a day or two a new laundry
puts a new mark on his clothes until at
last his collars grow to look like a bank
clerks memorandum slips. and his cuffs
are covered with marks like a cad wall
with posters.
