There is not the slightest chance of any but an Italian sittleg in Peter's chair at présent. Out of the sixty-three cardinals who compose the Sacred College now, thirty-four are Italians. It takes a two-thirds majulty and one vote over to elect a Pope Italy usually controls the ancepsalon. No Italian chudinal will vote for foreigner, for fear he might remove the seat of pontifical goverment from Reme. Clement V. was a French Pope, and he removed his court to Avignon in 1300. The result was that, France dominated the Holy See, and French Pones were elected one after the other, Gregory XI. the lest Frenchman to sit on the Papal throne. He brought the court back to Rome in 1377, and from that time on, none but Italians, have been permitted to wear the triple crown,
Of the thirty-four Italian cardinals only six or seven are supposed to be serious candidates, The strongest candidate to-day is Cardinal Raffiele Monaco La Vallets, Dean of the College efCardinals and Grand Penitencieria. He is a broad-sanuldered and muscular Christian, whose berculean head and neck would lead you te suppres that he was pugnarf us, whereas a mi'der man never lived Cardinal La Vaileta was born in Aquila and is sixty-three years old.

Yet the ville reproduction on paper of the statue does not place the artist next to the statue's maker, nor does the representation of Phéire put the actor on the pedestal of R-cine.
On one occasion, when going, by steamboat | to Upsala, I noticed a very quaint example of this national trait. The steamboat as it nears, Upsala passes through many shallow reaches of Malar lake, where the depth of water is fu- ufficient to allow of the pistengers being landed in the ordinaty manner directly on the landing- slager, and they have to be taken on shoreinsmall boals. The ferryman on shinping his comple. ment of passengers would fit lake desen sirokes or so, in order to clear the screw of the steamer, and thea would carefully lay nside his oars, riso from his seat and take off his hat with ; a solemn how to the people sitting in the stern whom he had just taken off the deck of the s'eamer.. He would then row on again and su them ashore. This did not occur as an isolated instance, but regularly every time the passengers had to be landed by shore bouts. I'm afraid even our English railway gayrds and porters, whom I had hitherto imagined to be the best- mannered people on the planet, would not hear comparison with these nature's gentlemen. Land Chesterfield himself would scarcely be in the running.

The sculptor, the painter, the dramatist, the
musician-they create. A thousand different persons, a thousand different things rush to be assimilated by their genius. The effect is an aggregate of beings taken from the whole of nature. The individuality of the creative genius is deepened, but is not annihilated. His art is of the highest, because he is the embodiment of the representation of asture. Balze said that to di sèṛibe a landicapé he turned himself for the mement into trees and grass, and fountains and- stary, and sunlight, and thus reached the heart of that which he would reproduce. In other words, he created the landscape just as Rousseau would create the same landscape on six luches of canvas.
But for the actor—let him storm Parongens ne he will; there are few leaves in the laurel crown:
It is his function to represent the creations of g^nius—to interpret them to the public. He hos not the thousand inspirations of the author; he has only the suggestions of the glowing words, The actor is subservient to the author, notwith. tanding he may forget his bondage for a brief five minutes and breathe the free gir of genius – There was an age in France, they any, when cars were provided simply with the frame work of the drams and left, to Improvise the rest.

Unlike Cardinal La Valicin, who despises newspapers, Cardinal Parrechl not only reads them, but has actually been a journalist himself in bis greener days. He is a good judge of men, and knows the world. The Pepe locks upon bim as a scholar of the highest rank. He has a face that inspires confidence, and beautiful eyes.

The glass is raised, a sight, bow made, the word, skal (literally bowl) pronounced, followed by another slight bow, when the glass is replaced on the table, generally empty; it is not de rigeur, how- ever, that it should be so, but in Denmark where a similar custom obtains, the glass mus always be drained to the last drop. To English eyes it appears quaint to see this complicated ceremonial observed towards each ather by college companions not yet out of their teens,

In the clamor of approval the 'creative at is forgotten, although that is the bite of the entire structure. No actor brings his genius' beamer to the heart of the public, to be sure, but at the same time let him member that be is only the interpreter, after all, and the shouts are really for Shakespeare and Racine,
