doctor. he asked medical colleague
what he ought to do and was told to

He then spoke to another colleague

friend said it was strange conduct;
but, should it come to legal question
he would be obliged to pay and had
better do SO at once. The day after
the old gentleman's establishment was

Quite angry, he appealed to the com

No city in the world has so many
statues and monuments as Paris, and
every day sees new project for new

this connection that large proportion
of the famous men honored In this way

form or other. Many of them died on
the scaffold, and stroll through the

food for reflection on the mutability of
human judgment. Danton and La

How the Pope Is Elected.

Let us pass the jealousy guarded
barriers and place ourselves in the vast
Pauline chapel, where morning and
evening the cardinals come to vote un-
til the pontiif is chosen by the neces-
sary two-thirds majority. See. there
are the three presidents of the ballot,
Il cardinal bishop, cardinal priest and
a cardinal deacon. AT the altar is n
cardinal making oath that he will cast
his vote without intrigue or favor of
man, but on his conscience, for the
greatest glory of God and the best vel
fare of the church. Rising from his
knees, he passes to the center of the
chapel, and there before the three pres
idents he places his vote in chalice,
and SO do all the other cardinals pres
ent In turn. Each ballot paper bears
in feigned hand the name Of the car
dinal for whom the vote is cast, while
on one corner is written the name of
the voter. The latter is carefully fold
ed over and sealed, not to be published
unless an election is made.-Lippin-
