Ger man Monks In italy.

In 1890 a German Franciscan friar,
Father Bernard Joseph Dobbing, was
elected bishop of the ancient united
sees of Sutri and Nepi. The story OF
his coming thither is a remarkable
one. 1t was in the times of the Kul-
turkampf in Germany that a certain
number of Franciscans, driven out of
their own country, took refuge in Italy
and purchased, few miles out of
Rome, an abandoned old sanctuary,
SAINT Ella, near Nepi. Father Dobbing &
was their superior. Through their
restless energy and untiring zeal the
German friars soon brought back the
ancient place of pilgrimage to it's
former celebrity. The church was re-
stored and decorated, new buildings
were erected, divine dignity was car
ried out with fitting dignity and splen-
dor, the fathers toiled in the confess
sional, in the pulpit, by missions and
retreats, so that their convent became
focus of religion and sanctity for the
entire district. Their superior is now
bishop of the diocese, and is exceed
ingly beloved by his Italian flock

French Woman B,rrlster:

| It is just year ago since ALE. Chau-
vim, the lady barrister, made her first
appearance at the Paris bar. Inter-
viewed on her experiences, she states
that the fact that she is a woman
seems to be forgotten by BOTH bench
and bar, and she no longer excites the
slightest curiosity at the law courts.
/ She has appeared in some fifty cases
during the year, including a divorce
case, when she represented the hus-
band and obtained Judgment against
the unfailhful wife. She far prefers
equity work, however, and never wants
to enter an assize court. In the first
place, she says one has to tell too
many untruths there, and secondly. for
| her part, she resolutely refuses to ac-
cept brief unless absolutely CON-
WINGED of the justice of her clients

Mile. Chauvin looks upon the SICK
ening leniency melted out to murderers
in Paris, and especially to murderesses
with disgust and stupefaction, and add
ed that no woman need trouble to ger
a divorce; she only need kill her hns-
band to obtain her freedom and he

SEALS OF CHINESE EMPRESS

by auction in London. There a.e no

value to the wealthy connoisseur The
seals are four in number. and arc CT

to artists, for the strong minded dow
ager was much addicted to painting
water-colors, and to prevent any doubt
being cast upon them as not the genu-
inc product Of her own imperial hand
and that posterity should also be Ell
lightened as to her genius, she used
to afIlx one of these jadestone seals
upon them. The phoenix is carved on
two of these seals. This is the special
mark Or crest of an empress dowager
of the empire. But the lady autocrac
was not satisfied with the phoenix

Admiral's Reception to Il King.


The fondness Of, navy officers for

Years ago there was a brusGue old
admiral upon whom many stores were
told--in most cases true ones.
At one time, when the war ship of
which the admiral was in command
was off the coast of Portugal, the king
of that country expressed a desire to
visit an American man-of-war.
The admiral received the party with
great cordially, but, instead of ad-
dressing the royal visitor as your ma

CHANCES OF BABY BOYS.
Possibilities OF Their Reaching the Very
Highest Positions.

Possibilities OF Their Reaching the Very
Highest Positions.
The indianapolis Sentinel has been
doing some figuring in averages on
the baby boys chances in life. 1t says
that the chances are 10000 900 to one
that he will not become president OF
The United States or vice president or
chief Justice Of the supreme court.
Yet it holds true that any baby boy
may reach either Of these places-that
is to say, there is possibility until
the phenomena of his development
surely count him out.
The chances are 100000 to one that
he will not be a United States senator,
lO3,33O to one that he will not be a
member Of the house of representa-
lives, and $4,000 to one that he will
never be governor of a state. All
these figures are subject, of course,
10 certain special circumstances, pos
slble or otherwise.
One may presume that an Ohio
boys chance Of becoming president is
much better than the chance of a
Delaware or a Rhode Island boy, #
ne stays at home. The chances are
588 to one that he will not go in
sane, 1850 to one that he will not be
blind, 1854 to one that he will not be
an inmate Of a public almshouse. 400
to one that he will never be an en-
listed soldier or sailor, 1900 to one
that he will never pe a city policeman
and 9,ll7 to one that lie will never
be president of national bank.
