allinyagu.artere come rumors of coining

It is difficult to say hew the rum-
ors originated or who has started
them, but they haVe become so gen-
eral that the Emperor has actually
been taking stops to try to repress
the superstition of his people —
steps which have been attended, no.-
tnrally enough, with very small sue-
ceee, for tuperstition is not a -thing
that can be Gantt -coned by law.
In the Northern Provinces folk aro

the monk Rennin, who, several cen-

the 'Hohenzollern dynasty would
be re-established, but that the third
Emperor of this great Manny would

toration ef Pope Pius IV. "by a. Na-
