POPE BENEDICT xv.

Intellectually the new Pope is de- scribed as more closely resembling Leo than Plus. Like Leo, he comes from the nobility and Is renowned for the polish and subtlety of his mind. His tastes, though are sim pie and his heart is kindly. It is only his body which is not strong.
 Report places him midway be- tween Leo and Plus in his relation ship to modernism. He is expected 10 stand no less firmly than his peasant predecessor for church tra- ditions and authority, but to do so with greater tact.
 Indeed, it seems likely that the keynote of his pontificate will be diplomacy. The heavy scars which war is making across the face of Europe and the delicate situations which confront the church by req son thereof call for papal skill of an unusual order. Benedict XIV. Is believed to be possessed of it.
 The task confronting him is of trying proportions. Whatever the wars political outcome, there ts a certain loss of church revenue and a havoc in its work of mercy which it will take years to repair. He faces it unappalled, buoyed up by the prayers of 2O,OOO,OO children Detroit Times.

SOME VALUABLE
HINTS ON SPRING
STYLES FOR MEN
MANAGEMENT OF THE HUB GIVES
BANNER AUTHORITATIVE
TALK.

Most men realize the Importance OF
correct dress and will be interested

new trend Of fashion.
When approached on the subject
the management of the Hub very cor
daily gave the Banner some valuable
information on leading style tenden-
cies. Suits are more English than
ever this season." was the statement.
Absence of padding and closet fitting
gives them almost military effect.
Shoulders are narrower and softer
draping is used. Cool and practical,
they are about the most sensible warm
weather garments shown in years.
1--WE have made a careful study of
both the advanced and more conser-
vative models and can recommend
the following as typical Of the new
garments:
Goats are short and have a higher
waist line than last season. Most
sleeves are without cuffs and are small
Ter. Trousers are so short that they
do not break over the instep, and
should be worn as straight as possible
over the hips. The inclination is
toward smaller legs. Waistcoats have
either five or six buttons and regular
or patch pockets. athletic" or strop
shoulders on the waistcoat will be
very much appreciated during warm
weather; the skeleton models will be
extremely popular.
"Patch pockets will be much in
vogue on coats, waistcoats and over
coats. The use Of shawl collars on
waistcoats is also a distinctives style
touch.

He lamented that the English tongue
was becoming debased, but he attribut-

which Dryden and the other poets of
the restoration had taken in shorten
ing their syllables by emitting those
very "es" which our spelling reform
ers would eliminate.

he noted with impatience in 1712. "It

A WILL AND 4 WAY.
How Great Sculptor Insisted Upon
Getting Resoanition.


Getting Recognition.
While still an unknown. struggling
student, Carpeaux. the famous sculp-
tor, determined to get his work and
his name before the public. so he sent
bas-relief that he had just finished
to the Salon in the hope of gaining
the notice of Napoleon III.
The subject he had chosen was !.
"The Surrender of Add el Kader to
Napoleon Ill" He labored so hard
over the work that he fell i'll. He lay
ON a sickbed in the hospital when the
news came that the Salon jury had
accepted the basrelief and would hang
it at the approaching exhibition.
Unfortunately "Abd ell Kader" was
so poorly placed in the Salon that it en-
tirely escaped the notice of public and
emperor alike. Carpeaux was not dis
couraged. He was no sooner out Of
the hospital than he heard that the
emperor was to visit some cities of
northern France. Immediately he pack
ed the cherished group and set off for
Valenciennes. When the emperor en-
tered the city hall of that town the
bas relief was exhibited at the en-
trance. Napoleon inquired about it.
Unfortunately Lemaire. the deputy
from that district was something of
sculptor himself and of a jealous dis
position as well.
"Bah.' he replied. "An uninteresting
piece: the work Of student" The
emperor passed on.
Undaunted. CarpeauX repacked his
work and set off for Lille. There the
collapse of the ballroom floor put a
stop to the festivities and to the en-
peror's visit. Carpeaux started for
Amiens. only to be arrested as sus-
picious character and to have his
precious bundle confiscated. He sue.
! ceeded in proving his innocence and
Immediately hastened to the arch
bishop. who gave him permission tC
exhibit the group at the cathedra
gates.
The emperor. deep in thought. enter
ed the church without glancing to right
or left. Again "Abd ell Kader" ha6
failed to attract Napo.eon's attention
Carpeaux now decided to risk every
thing on one chance.
The next day the emperor. with hi
usual retinue. visited local exhibi
tion. They were examining som
paintings when suddenly young mai
pushed forward and halted before Ma
poleon. Pointing to the bas-relief o

great hubbub arose, for every on
thought that it was an attempt on tn
emperors life. Finally, the youn
man, still struggling with his captors
managed to shout above the clamor. g

group And again he pointed to tn
Das-relief. Gradually calm was re
stored, and Napoleon examined til
work which the sculptor had so DIR;

BATHROOM SHOCKS.
Keep Away From Electric Fixtures
While You Skin Is Wet,

A man Is in usuch greater danger
from electric shoot when taking bath
than under ordinary conditions, as the
surface of the body when moist offers
much less resistance to the current
than when dry. Persons have been
killed while bathing by current that
would scarcely have affected them out
side the bath. says Cosmos of Paris.
BalthaZard told at the Society of
Legal Medicine of the case of lady
killed by electric shock in her bath
room at the moment when she was
pressing the button of an electric bell
between the poles of which there was
a difference of potential of not more
than no volts.
In ordinary circumstances. owing to
the great resistance of the human body,
such a small electrOmotive force pre-
sents no great danger, but when the
circuit contains. as in the case report
ed, large surface of moist skin the re-
sistance fails and more than 100 milli-
amperes may pass through the organ
ism. sufficient at this tension to pro-
duce death by termination of the re-
spiratory muscles.
Currents of even forty-siX volts are
dangerous in a bathroom. 1t should be
remembered that currents of feeble in
tensity can produce sudden rise of
arterial tension capable of causing sud
den death in a person with weak
heart.
High tensions, enabling currents of
four to five amperes to pass. have
! quite a different effect. They do not
generally cause death, because the
notifications of the tissue produced al
the point of contact at once oppose {
considerable resistance to the passage
of the current. The intensity within
the organism is not sufficient to caus,
