THE POPE s ADDRESS TO A FRENCH DELEGATION
ROME, Dec. 2O.-The Pope yesterday receiv-
ed depuation consisting of natives of France
and delivered an address to them. He ex-
planned that the recurrence OF Christmas
God had given to the world on that day. Pride,
said the Holy Father, was the enemy of man
kind and the author of revolution. At the
conclusion of his address, with voice softened
by emotion, gave his solemn benedictiop. His
visitors were greatly moved, and at the con-
c,usion of the ceremony broke forth into long
and enthusiastic UiUds
A committee of bishops has been instructed
to draft a plan for checking the growth of inf
deity, in accordance with the Papal alowtion.

At this period of the year, when the dividing line
which separates genial from an incement season
has just been passed, course Of HOSTETTER'S
STOMACH BlTTERS will be found of invaluable
service in improving the condition OF the vital fluid
and gently stimulating its flow. Violent coughs and
coids like intermittent fever, are the frequent eff
fects Of a chilly atmosphere upon debilltated or
ganzation. Diseases OF the kidneys often proceed
from the same source. How essential it is, there
fore persons of feeble constitution to invgorate

may brave with impunity an amount Of exposure

would PROSTATE them on bed o. sickness. Let
them consider this and be wise in time.
