SOME IMPRESSIVE FrGuREs

Massachusetts has ever been generous to institutions of learning, but some of the people of that State are thinking that she has been too generous At the annual meeting of the Massachusetts Association of Assessors, an address bv Thomas Hills of Boston showed that the city of Cambridge has over $7o 0Oo.- 900 of real estate, of which Harvard col- lege has $4,141,0OO that is exempted equal to 5 7-10 per cent The personal property in Cambridge is SIG. 900, of which Harvard's exempted part is s6 o74,0O0. or S7 S-10 per cent In western Massachusetts Willlamstown has s2.- 415,000 of taxed real estate and Williams college has s44o,00O exempt, or IS 2-1o per cent. The personal property in the town is sS73,000, while the college per- sonal exempt is $S93, 500, or 240 per cent. In Wellesley the taxed real estate is $4,S00000, while the real estate of the women's college exempt is S980 ,O0O, or 20 5-10 per cent. The taxed personality in the town is $2,597 ,000 while the ex- empt personally of the college is $341,- 900, or 13 1-10 per cent.
 These are impressive figures. It would have been interesting if MT. Hills had also made a similar statement concern ing church property.

One of the most remarkable collec- tions of souvenirs ever made is a col- lection of male opera hats by one of the actresses of a London company. She owns no fewer than two hundred and sixteen of these articles, for it was her gentle whim to make every young man who was introduced to her give her his opera hat as a souvenir.

The protracted financial stringency in Germany is explained by the English as due in part to excessive industrial enterprise and excessive credits to buy CTS in foreign countries. The successes won in displacing English goods in for eign markets, say the English, are too often due to sacrifice sales. Too many industries have been started for the capital available; production has been in excess of the profitable demand at home and abroad; surpluses have been sold on twelve months credit at cost price, or under. The result is unsatis- factory. Many corporations are em- barrassed and there is lack of confi- dence. Germany is still going ahead, but the point which interests the Eng fish is that some of the trade gained by German houses abroad may not continue

It is said that the only reason why baronetcy was not conferred on the last lord mayor of London, who retired from office month ago, was because he happened to be the proprietor of famous restaurant, lunch counter and oyster house in Cheapside, where people of every degree in London are accustomed to take their mid day lunch. And yet the retired mayor is said to be man of education, mem- Der of Parliament and a man of such public spirit that he is known during his year of office to have spent $150,0O0 and above his salary of S50,O0O.

The Roman Catholic bishop of An gelopoli, Mexico, thus explains the so- called raff1e in behalf of souls in prrga- tory: Shortly before the month of No vember, in certain churches, in which special works are performed in aid of the souls in purgatory, the rectors of these churches make out a series of numbers, say, from 1 to 1000. Oppo- site these numbers the faithful may write the names of the deceased per sons for whom they wish the works to be performed, giving at the same time an aims of 10 cents or so to cover ex- penses Certain special spiritual works are promised beforehand for the four or five souls whose numbers shall be drawn in the lottery. Thus the faith
 ful are easily enabled to be the means of helping the souls in purgatory by the common works offered for all, and if their lot should be the one drawn, they aid these souls by special works also, which otherwise could not obtain with out some difficulty" He concludes by criticising Protestant missionaries, as actuated by mercenary motives.

ATRULY GRAND CARDINAL
One OF the most remarkable men Of the Sacred
College Is undoubtedly Cardinal Parocchi who
the son OF miller has risen from the ranks so
TO speak by the sheer fierce Of his energy and
ability. He too, owes his hat not to Leo XIII,
but TO Plus IX, and, although in the early part
OF the present reign he manifested so much hos
tility toward the Government that the latter de-
clned to consent TO his nomination Arch
bishop OF Bologna. yet since he has become
Vicar General OF Rome which OF all the great
dignitares OF the Holy Seat Is the one which
brings It's occupant into most frequent contact
and intercourse with the State his intransigence
has undergone a very radical modification. In
fact he has managed to administer the delicate
and difficult duties Of his office in such manner
as to conciliate the State without offending the
Church. He obtained four votes at the last
Conclave He is a man OF remarkable force OF
character and Of great piety. Although small
in stature. there is a certain degree Of majesty
about his appearance, and despite the lowliness
OF his origin, his features as well as his ad-
dress. Indicate an unusual degree Of nobility Of
character. He has the most perfect control OF
himself. and It is OF him that Cardinal Gibbons
is said to have declared on the occasion Of his
last visit TO Rome Cardinal Parocchi Is the
only striking individuality whom have met at
Rome. He combines politics with pety, and
plety with politics" He makes his home In some

AL. G. Greenleaf, former well
known travelling man who used 20
visit our merchants here back in
the seventies committed suicide in
Chicago last week by jumping from
the sixteenth story of the Masonic
Temple. A Columbus exchange
speaks of the matter as follows:
"News of the sensational suicide
of Albert G. Greenleaf, for many
years a well known resident of CO.
lumbus, has been received from
Chicago.
Death was caused by jumping
from the sixteenth story of the
Masonic temple to the floor of the
retuAda, where the remains were
foun crushed into a shapeless
mass
The deceased was at one time a
leader in the fashionable set of Co

were Of the brightest. He was a
son Of John Greenlfaf, at one time
