Of reducing 1t. the school fund should have

Tho pOpe's Health.

The Roman correspondent of the Pal WaH
1azetie writes; despite the daily coutradic-
tIons OF the ObserDatOre RonsnnO the POps's
health causes his physieiaHs great appre-
tensions and his brother great anxiety. Sud-
den dizziness, shivering fits and eztraordi-
nary prostration, are the physIcal symptoms;
but there is no doubt that the Close confne-
ment and the long protractad negotiations
with Germany are the primary cau.e of his
ailments. AS remedy for his mental wor-
res he seeks help In extra work, whereas his
physictans urge amusement, change and
much time spent In the open air. Cardinal
Nina and Monsignor Pecci take turns 10 be-
guiIiDg his Holiness into obedience TO these
prescriptions; but he Ia wiIlfui patient and
has strong objection to be considered ailin2
or decreptt."
