J., a i'ormer Bostonian, Ti 1P -"viw ordained in he Church of the Im maculate Colle ction in New York. j Sm , Reverend Father Wessling, although fref blind, had little trouble in finding his j. ' way about the sanctuary and his sense ! "V ' 1 '1 V \ <*df direction was remarkable. After the ceremony the newiy ordained priest we< jr^ve his first blessing in the sacristy ^ to his aged mother, then to his three brothers and three sisters and to a ' Xarge number of friends. lie.. Henry UI JL Wessilng, S. J., giaduated from Boston college in 1901, and soon after en-: tier tered the Jesuit noviriate, where he -j Mhwame one of the most promising of +v the young scholastics. It was not un- ii:c til 1910 that he became blind by an- ^r0 explosion while conducting a chemical ^experiment in Cncisius college, Buffa-; nu< lo, N. Y. lie never gave up hope of -?n !*?eoming a priest, however, and continued his studies. His case was ^ brought before Tope Benedict by Cardlnais O'Connell and Gibbons some time ago, with the result that the pope Ge< finally gave him a dispensation about \e a month ago, enabling him to receive -pn Affi.na nf nrJpxthood. ,T. ^ ? r . 112 > the TIN DISKS 00 DUTY ?*' AS COIN IN LONDON I J ?r< enj .

Despite all efforts, the mints ( und printing presses have difficulty in j iiiming out enough paper and metalj coins to supply the demand. The Eng-' Fta " lish system of money is at best a Cum- j bo fcersome one. There is the ha'penny,: nM - corresponding to the American cent; an the penny, worth two cents; the three-j pfr jpgnny and sixpenny silver pieces; the shilling, two shillings and half a! - crown or 60-cent piece; then there is 1 ?t ? .no other combination in general cir-, eolation untii the ten-shilling note is, no reached; after that the one-pound note,! ^approximately corresponding to a five-1 ^ ' .dollar bill, and then the five-pound1 ote. i It is much as if America had nothing* "between the half-dollar and a $2.50 j *0 Ibill; no dollar bill, no two-dollar bill. ?o and never anything like enough of the' " .?$2.50 bills. Th^ effort to do business;. .-with pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters j 11 . Jind halves and fi\re-doliar bills would j about parallel the English position.; ^T( There is never enough small silver to!

He j - was wearing a long black beard and i v a long cloak like that worn by some of t lita i1 t'e&l'jn icn^tvuo *.> ? In his hand ho carried a French ~ prayer book, on the ily leaf of which ; be had written in perfect French that ! he was a priest on a pilgrimage to j v Lourdes and that he had vowed to i ? make the journey on foot and without j F speaking ft. word. He then asked that ! he be given bread to eat- and water to j arink and lodging at night time. The j * - German had shown this soiled prayer- j i 3x>ok everywhere along his way, and i s the slmp?e minded peasants believing, iim to be a priest, had fed and shel- \ 4ered him without suspicion. -i*-.
