The Troubles Of a French Aeademieian.
The candidate, once elected, is bound
to pronounce a harangue before he Is
allowed to take part in the work of
the noble body. The director who hap
pens to be in Office answers him. This
grafton Is invariably. or at least should
be, composed first of thanks, more or
less humble, for the great honor con-
ferred, then of panegyric of the hap
py ones predecessor And, oh. how
difficult that sometimes must be! More
than one has rushed to the encyclope-
dia, then to the libraries. so as to get
some clear notion of the illustriouS eX-
immortal! Then fate is often ironical.

talent Of a writer of light comedies, a

may have to speak of his most init

Miss Bowen was a Jealous Catholic

others, never thinking of her own
comforts. She will be sadly missed
in her home, in the church and com
munity. She leaves four brothers,
three sisters and many friends to
mourn her death.
