The Number Seven.

The most intelligent ritualists are agreed in common with the Roman Catholic church that there are seven sacraments. How they came to fix on the exact number of seven is not so we'll known, nor do they seem to be quite sure themselves. Peter Lombard and St. Thomas did not invent the sanctity of the number seven. but only inherited it. When once the assump- ton had been made that numbers had some hidden meaning and when the assumption had been consecrated by religious tradition, it is eae~ to see how scrlbes and Pharisees bRilded on it an imposing but shadowy house of cards. Thus when seven had been received as the perfect number, it was inevitable that the six gifts of the spir- it named by Isaiah should be corrected into seven; that seven mortal sins should be classified to be set straight by seven sacraments. But what is more to our present purpose is to in quire how the assumption came to be made. The answer to this question may be given at once. The sacredness of seven rests on the regard paid, in the oldest astronomical system known to us, to the seven planets-the sun, moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn.

If the contest now raging between Chicago and Paris over the original in spiration of "Cyrano de Bergerae' is doing nothing else it is bringing to light the fact that the theft of ideas has not always been one way hereto fore. It appears from the testimony of g well-known Parislan critic that several works of Fenimore Cooper and Washington Irving have at various times been dramatized in France with out word of acknowledgment. The Leather Stocking Tales were produced in Paris as an original play, called 'Bas de Guir, by Montepin & Dornay, without any mention Of Cooper.
