Cardinals and Cardinal-Making.

During his pontificate Leo XIII. has seen no less than 123 cardinals called by death from the Sacred College, the last to go being the Ruthenian primate, Cardinal Sembratowicz. He has himself created 117 cardinals, of whom only fifty are now living. The members of the college who were made cardinals by Pius IX. can be counted now upon the fingers of one hand.” —Catholic Mirror.
