“Where It Ought to Be.’’

The late Cardinal Manning would occasionally, at the house of an intimate friend, throw over “the care of all tihe churches” for an hour and indulge in amusing reminiscences. One story he used to tell, though he himself was the butt of its liumor, was of a sculptor who had attempted the cardinal’s bust at Rome. During one of the sittings the sculptor discoursed on phrenology, and Manning matte tliim point out on the head he was modeling the supposed seat of the various organs or “bumps.” At last Manning asked: “Where is the organ of conscientiousness?” The sculptor walked across tbe room to where Manning was sitting, and touching a certain part of the Cardinal’s cranium, said: “That’s where it ought to be.”
