 To 8 certain class of readers MT.

Yet to others he is almost an unknown quantity, the range of his writings has

holy father himself Recognizing, as has always been recognized, the neces- sity for providing for the perpetuation of the holy office in advance of the con- , tingency involved by his demise, the present incumbent has on many occa- sions already alluded to his successor in terms that admit no doubt as to his desires. He has not In so many words named that successor, for that would be departure from papal traditions. but has expressed wish thet he may be elected without unnecessary friction or delay when the time shall have ar- rived for choice.
 This fact being admitted, 1t is per- fectly proper that the most prominent candidates should be discussed in an impersonal manner and brought before the public. It is well known that while not actually incumbent upon the cardi- nals of the church to appoint one of their own number, 1t is more than like Ny that he will be drawn from the mem bership of the sacred college. The priv ilege of selecting the successor to the primate has been vested in this body for more than 800 years (since 1059), and it is in accordance with long estab- lished custom that the pope's recog- nixed counselors in the government of the church should be considered most eminently fitted to succeed to the va cancy caused by his decease.

a Chinese engagement dates its he
ginning from the exchange of rcd cards
between tbs" parents Of the contracting
parties. These cards in many districts
are immense documents, almost the
size of tt horse blanket. They are i'm
portant for the reason that they are
used as evidence in cas-" of disagree
ments in the future. We seldom hear
in China of broken engagements. Yet
If II quarrel canuot lie settled peaceful
ly recourse is had to the law, and the
Judge usually imposes Il fine upon the

that of IL lever. The superiority of II
