CHAPLAIN OF THE TUILERIEs.
WhO Has Abandoned His
Ola Calling.

A singular parsonage in Paris social
life has disappeared in the person Of
ex-Mgr. Bauer, who was formerly the
brilliant chaplain Of the Tuileries,
says the Paris correspondent Of the
London Chronicle. Mgr. Bauer, who
vas Of Jewish extraction, began life
as q stock brokers' clerk, but sudden

the seminary Of St Sulpiee. After his
ordination his elOquence attracted Ma
pOleon Ill, who offered him a court
chaplaincy, with the special task Of
teaching the prince imperial elocution.
N. Bauer drew large congregations and
on several occasions he occupied the
pulpit Of Notre Dame. He accompa-
MED Empress Eugene to Egypt and
delivered a magnificent discourse at
the inaugural ceremony Of the Suez
canal. During the war Of 1870 M.
Bauer attended the sick and wounded
outside the walls Of Paris.
In 1872 he wrote to Cardinal Guibert
informing him that for personal rea-
sons he could no longer support the
yoke Of the priesthood. Since then
the ex-prelate has been a constant fire.

THE PoPEs AND TOBACCO.
Prescribed the Weed and Those
who Used Il.

It is well known that Pope Leo was
for years an inVeterate snuff taker.
The times have changed since Urban
VIII. and Innocent v. vigorously pro-
scribed tobacco, the former pope go
ing so far as to threaten to excom-
municate anyone who might take a
pinch Of snuff within the precincts of
the vatican. The brief issued by In
nocent x. on the LIST Of February,
1850, against the use Of tobacco was
abrOgated on the 18th Of January,
It's, by Benedict XIII. for very good
and sufficient reasons. For, like Leo
XIII, Benedict XIII. took snuR in
large quantities, and he could not
give his sanction to an act which was
violated daily by his own example.
From that time until the present day
the popes have remained silent on the
subject Of tobacco, but their personal
habits seem to favor the use OF the
fragrant Virgi6a weed. In addition
to the snuff-taking popes, It is well

USE AMERICAN IDEAS.
French Crooks Copy the Tricks Of

French swindlers, about whose meth
DDS a good deal has been written Of

American crooks, says the New York
Sun. The trick of following a woman

make purchasing assuming the role
Of an indignant husband, taking her
money away from her and getting
away before she has a chance to re-
cover from her surprise, was worked
for some time in the west It wasn't
successful long here, because American
women are harder-headed than their
French sisters and, unlike the latter,
do not assist the crooks by promptly
going into Mysteries or fainting when
robbed.
A simple little swindle that was sue
cessful in this city for years was
worked by a man and a boy. The boy
would walk up the street swinging a
pitcher around his head. The man
standing on an opposite corner would
call attention to the boys recllessness
and offer to bet S. or some larger
amount that the boy would break the
pitcher before he reached the corner.
The crook rarely failed to hook a VIC
tim. OF course, just as the boy
reached the corner he would break the
pitcher and the crook would win the

has also been a stimulus to the ANA

These theories are getting strongly

ticularly on those folks who are able
to indulge themselves, to experiment
in the matter and make permanent
