Mgr. NagI Appointed coadjutor to
the Archbishop of Vienna,

One of the last bishops appointed by
the Servant of God, Plus TX, was Mgr
Gruscha, who two years later became
archbishop of Vienna, and on June l.
1891, was created cardinal priest of the
title of Santa Maria degli Angel On
November 3 last his eminence entered
his ninetieth year, so it is not surprising
to learn this week that the Holy Father
has given him a coadjutor with right
of succession. Vienna is one of the
most important dioceses in the world
with its two and a quarter millions of
Catholics, its various rites, it's nearly
1000 priests, its dignity as a prince
dom of the Holy Catholic Empire and
great satisfaction has been everywhere
expressed at the announcement that
the choice of the Holy See for the CO.
adjutOr has fallen on Mgr. Nagi, bish-
op of Trieste, who spent great part
of his life in Rome as rector of the
TeutOniC church and Institute of Santa
Maria dell Anima. During the seven
years that he has been bishop of this
see Mgr. Nagl has had to steer a very
difficult and dangerous course between
the national conflicts of which Trieste
had been the theatre, and the fact that
he has retained the respect and ven

AS you approach the Pantheon, 1t is
the first to the right and the second
to the left, as the London bobby
would say, and it is only two minutes
walk through narrow, clean, pictur-
esque streets to the college. A lamp
juts out at the corner, and on the wall

Turn to your left and you will see

Ireland. The guide will know by the
buttons on your clothes or the shape
of your shoes who you want to see and

hne-looking man of so, who will take
you through the old buildings and tell
you about the place in English with
that charming accent of the educated
Dublin man.
He will point out and explain to you
the two black marble tablets at the
entrance. One tells of the founder of
the college, John Sue, who at the Res

to France and was given the old COL

Clever Salesman.

Shugio, an ambitious young japanese
salesman, employed by an importer OF
Oriental goods in New York, had asked
so often for a chance to do clerical
work in the office that recently he was
told he might write letters to three per-
sons on the firms books to ask them
if they would make some payment on
their accoupt Go easy with them. y
cautioned the importer. They're all
good customers, but just a bit slow -
Two days later the importer was sur
prised to receive checks in full for all
three accounts. One check from a we'll
known woman was accompanied by a
sharp note, and the head of the firm
FASTENED to find the copy Of Shugfo's
dunning letter. 1t read: Dear Mrs.

Reserve Horses for War.

In Switzerland the state is part owner
of horses used by reserves. 1t pur-
chases a remount of 31a years old, and
the soldier pays half the cost of the
horse to the government, together
with the difference between its cost
and the price that the horse fetches at
auction-for all horses are sold by
auction to the men.
After every year of training the gov
eminent refunds one-tenth of the orig
inal half cost to the men, and at the
end of ten years the horse becomes the
absolute property of the soldier. In
this manner the soldier is not only al
ways well mounted but as he keeps his
horse with him at his home his mobi-
lization problem is of the simplest ma
ture.
The average price of these Swiss
troop horses is about G45 sterling, says
Baily's Magazine, and as most of these
horses are imported from Ireland and
north Germany their price is consider
ably higher than it would be in this
country. Thus the state secures the
services of horse for an annual out
lay of about ga los; but there are GER
tain other expenses which must be in
cluded in this estimate, such as the
cost of the establishment for remount
depOts, ETC., which raises the total cost
of horses for the Swiss government to
about 9S Us a year.

The Nationalist and the Ulster Con
stituencies,

The Irish Conservatives have been
quite elated by their victories in Ul-
ster. But their prospects in that prov
ince are not roseate. No doubt they
have induced the Liberal representa-
ton and have won Mid-Tyrone from
the Nationalist. Every sign of popu-
lar feeling, however, points clearly
enough to the gradual decay of Con-
servatism and the progress of National
fst sentiment in Ulster. Mid Tyrone
would have remained a Nationalist seat
