An Italian contemporary gives some curious
particulars about dead and living cardinals.
Slxtj-flve cardinals have died during the
twelve years of Leo XIII.'s papacy. The sa
cred college is almost all composed of now
cardinals. Only sixteen were there under
Pie None , and one of these. Cardinal Howard ,
is seriously ill , and several others are past
eighty years of ape. The youngest of the
cardinals of Pie None are Parochi and ZigH-
ari , who are each llfty-scvcnyears of age ; the
oldest is Mertcl , who is eighty-four , and has
worn the scarlet for thirty-two years.
Rev. Thcodosius S. Tyncf says of Japan :
"A very remarkable proportion of Protestant
Christians belong to the educated class. The
mercantile class has been comparatively little
affected , the laboring class hardly at all. for
example , in the 'Higher Middle School' at
Tokio , corresponding to a Gorman gymnasium
or an American college , tlio proporf/on of
Christians is llvo times as great as in the
population at large , and among file students
of the university twelve times as grotit. If
statistics could bo obtained as to teachers ,
physicians , lawyers and judges I have no
doubt that a similar state of things would bo
shown. "
Young Men's Christian associations are
gaining a foothold in continental Europe.
There is such an association at Berlin , pos
sessing a line building. In Paris the associa
tion has elegant and centrally located rooms
and is doing an active work for French young
men. It is expected that an association
building will bo erected , in Paris the coming
season , and 100,000 is pledged as a beginning
Of the movement. A secretary has recently
been placed in charge of the Lyons associa
tion. At Stockholm now life has been in
fused into the association , and n secretary
who visited America last summer is in charge.
The king and queen of Sweden and Norway ,
the crown prince and other members of the
royal family are liberal contributors and are
friendly to the association.
A Ijittlo Girl's Pathetic Story.
