TO BEATTY MONK WHO
HAD GIFT OF PROPHECY.
Said Cholera Would Force Pope to
Jerusalem In 1911.

Don Bosco, the founder of the Sale
sian order, is believed by his follow
ers to have had the gift of predict
ing future events, and several of his
prophecies are now being examined
by the congregation of rites with a
view to his beatification.-
A French nun who knew Don Bosco
in Paris declares that he told her that
Gin the year 1911 cholera would break
out in the Eternal City and that the
pope would go to Jerusalem"
The beatifcation process of Don Bos-
CO has recently been examined by Plus
X, who was impressed by this pre-
diction.
1t is likely that the first part of it
will come true, since it is probable
that there will be an outbreak of chol-
era In Rome soon. The second part
may also be verified in the following
fashion:
In the year 900 Pope Sylvester II.
was told that his ponttfcate would
end when he said mass in Jerusalem"
and the prophecy was fulfilled four
years later when the pope died while
celebrating mass on Quadragesima
Sunday in the Church of Santa Croce
of Gerusalemme, so called because it
was built by st. Helena to receive the
relic of the true cross brought by her
from Jerusalem.
This church, which is one of the
seven patriarchal basilicas of Rome,
still contains the original subterranean
chapel erected by st. Helena, the floor
of which was strewn with earth
brought by her from Jerusalem.

was for many years police commits

that In case of cholera outbreak in

GREAT NAMES SURVIVE,
BUT PLAY HUMBLE ROLES.
CharIemagne Is Hairdresser and Mars
Night Watchman.

Somebody has been looking through
the London directory for the names Of
dead and gone great men. There were
some surprising fiEds-as, for instance,
a William Shakespeare who is tailor,
John Milton a grocer and Francis Ba-
con an architect.
In Paris Charlemagne and Lamartine
were discovered dressing hair. Daudet
making lemonade and Racine peddling
milk Venus was selling candy in
Paris and Mars beer in London.
But New York with its cosmopolitan
population can show the most bewil-
dering constellation Of this sort.
There Venus is an actor, Mars a
night watchman, which isn't a bad role
for a Mars. Jupiter is keeping meat
shop, and Homer engages in the same
unpoetic occupation. Caesar is sign
painter, and Cicero down, restless
shaded is barber.
There is a flock Of Raphaels, some
grocers, some tailors, cutters, printers.
lawyers, and so on. And Mcclellan
geIo cobbIes shoes! Christopher Colum-
bus sails the uncharted seas of fem
mime millinery, and Henry Hudson is a
clerk Bonaparte sells pens and pen
ellis and ink bottles. Robert Bruce is
carpenter, and Charles Stuart, toast,
ed innumerable times as "the king over
the water" retains his association with
that element by being plumber.
Moliere is grocer, Rousseau hair
dresser, and Francis Bacon makes pi
amos A Dryden makes sirups, and a
bunch OF Samuel Johnsons deal in
various commodities, including straw
goods. NoH Goldsmith is lawyer
and Herbert Spencer a dentist.
George Washington appears in the
dual role Of barber and tanitor color

ing grown darker with the passing
