HE WAS NOT BOTHERED AGAIN.

Sic Ernest Cassel, the London mer-
chant prince, who gave $1,000,000 to-
ward the campaign against consump-
ton, has dry humor, but only occa-
sionnlly gives reign TO it in business
hours. AT one period Of the time when
lie was building up his vast fortune, he
was annoyed several times by boy
who wanted place in his office. did
you see that boy who was just i'll
here:" asked Sir Ernest of his office
boy one day after the persistent appli-
cant had made another plea for work.
II saw him." said the boy. what
does he want?" "Well,' said the mer-
chant, "he wants your situation, and
IL ever see him again he will get it."
The hint was sufficient, for the meI
chant never saw the pest again.

MAN WHO WROTE "THE MIKADO."

Mr.. w. S. Gilbert, who has just cele-
brated his sixty-siyth birthday, has
been a writer of plays for more than
fifty years. When ne was at school at
Ealing he wrote, stage-managed and
painted the scenery of several. plays
which were acted by his schoolfellows.
One of these was melodrama named
"Guy Fawkes," and in this the stage
manager played the principal part. AT
the age of nineteen the fighting in
stinct possessed him, and he began to
read for the army, but changed his
plans upon the close of the Crimean
War. The immense success of the Gil
bert and Sullivan series of comic OPP
eras was due in probably more than
half measure to Gilbert's clever sat
Tres.

AN ADMIRAL'S NEW AMBITION.

Rear-Admiral j. A. Howell. Of the
United States Navy, popularity known
as the father of the modern torpedo"
because of his invention of that engine
OF war; is credited by the Toronto Sat-
urday Night with showing why he
married--a piece of knowledge which
some unmarried persons seem to re-
gard as uncommon.
1t was generally believed that he was
welded to the science of warfare. and
1t was a surprise TO the entire Navy
when he married charming woman.
A number of years after his marriage
fellow officer visited Admiral How

guished sailor playing about the house.

HOW MAETERLINCK IS PRONOUNCED

In connection with Harper & Broth
ers' publication OF "Monna Wanna"
the much discussed Maeterlinck dra-
ma, question has arisen as to the
pronunciation OF the Belgian authors
name. The correct way is "Mahter-
link" not Mayterlink or Metterlink, as
it is variously called. The French pro-
nounce it Mayterilnk, because the
sound of ae in French is "a" but in
Belgian French the ae is pronounced
"ah." Maeterlinck is Belgian, hav-
ing been born at Ghent in 1864. He
has been styled 'The Belgian Shakes
peare." 1t was in 1890 that he first be-
came famous, upon the production in
Paris of his play LA Princesse Ma
leine."

IN that city When he was eighteen years
Ole he secured the first prize for chemistry
and physics. His aptitude for natural
science. however, in no way interfered with
his taste for literature and classical studies,
and even in those early days he re-
markable for the elegance and purity of
his Latin, which subsequently found such
notable expression not only in his lncycli-
Gals and ecclesiastical work, but in the
higher plane of poetry.
Degree of ID. at Twenty-One.
He obtained in 1881 the degree of doctor
of divinity. and entered the Academy of
Noble EccesiastiCs TO study law and diplo-
macy. and thus qualify himself for joining
what may be termed, the papal diplomatic
service and become conversant with the
system of spiritual government 1t is from
the ranks of this official body that in these
days a new pontif is almost invariably
chosen.

and no pontifical reign since the reforma-
ton had witnessed such recrudescenio
of catholicism. or such an extension of the
spiritual dominion of the Catholic church,
especially in English speaking countries.
His Golden jubilee.
AS example of this may be cited the
numerous pilgrimages which came to the
Eternal City from all parts of the world,
for instance. at the time of the celebration,
December %. 1887. of the jubilee of the
pope's ordination to the priesthood. The
jubilee service in ST. Peters on that occa-
sion was attended by $1,000 persons.
AT the mass the pope used a golden ever
and basin presented to him by the late
Queen Victoria and wore a tiara given by
the Emperor of Germany. His holiness also
wore a magnificent diamond ring sent him
by the Sultan of Turkey a personal
mark of his good will and pleasure.
Under Leo XIII the American dioceses
almost doubled in number and the Catholic
University at Washington was founded.
The pope was represented at the worlds

TOLL, who shortly afterward was .ppointed.
papal delegate at Washington. His hol
ness was much gratitied when President
Roosevelt sent Governor Taft to Rome to
discuss Philippine questions, but one of his
greatest dreams which was never real
lied was that America should have a dip
lomatic representative at the Vatican.
In February, 1900, the pope issued
encyclical on Americanism which caused
much discussion and in June, 1901, he is
sued letter on labor, which also aroused
much interest.
On March 3. 1902 the late pope took part
In the public celebrations in honor Of the
twentyfOurth anniversary of his corona
ton by holding a "Papal Chapel in the
Basilica of St Peters. on which occasion
he greeted by 10000 persons. This was
the first time Chapel had been held in
the Basica since 1870. such ceremonies
having heretofore taken place In the Sistine
Chapel. Thirty cardinals were among those
present.
A Famous Encyclical.
The late pontiff March %. 1902. pub
lished a long encyclical letter, the tone Of
which suggested testamentary recommen-
dations, and in which he dcplored the re-
newed attacks on the church and the re
cent errors of humanity instancing d.
vorce and picturinS the present condition
of society having drifted into a state of
anarchy.

The twenty-ffth anniversary of the late
pope's election to the chair of st. Peter was
celebrated February 20 Of this year with
elaborate pomp in the Hall of Beattication,
