No successor Yet to sntolli.

WASHINGTON, April 25.-Cardinal Satolli
has received no intimation. official or other
wise, as to his successor as papal delegate,
and the report that Delegate Alvaradi. pres
ent nuncio to Mexico. would succeed him at
Washington is regarded as based only on
speculation, as no determination has been
reached at Rome. There is some doubt ex-
pressed as TO whether the delegate TO Mexico
would be transferred to the United just as
his services in Mexico Were beginning. AS
yet there is no intimation of Cardinal Satol-
lis departure. There have been unofficial re-
ports current in Rome that a consistory
would assemble in June, in which case Car
dinal Satolli might be summoned to Rome
although his presence at the consistory
would not be imperative. The general i'm
preston prevails that when the Cardinal re-
turns to Rome he will become a member OF
the Propaganda, as a result of his intimate
acquaintance with the affairs of the church
throughout the world, and particularly in
America

continue for a reasonable time, and as
many members desired to put themselves on

What to Do with School Books.

Keep all your school books if you
possibly can. Never sell them or dis
pose of them in II way unless it is
very plainly your duty TO somebody
else to do SO. For instance. in Il fam
lily an older sister may let the younger
children have her books when she is
done with them. This may ave her
parents the expense of buying new ones
and having the same books duplicated
in the household collection. Or there
may be in your acquaintance Il girl too
poor to buy books, who will be very
gift. In this ease it will be your pleas
ure. | am sure, to make this friend hap
Ply and to relieve her of anxiety. and
help her in procuring her education.
But as Il rule | would advise you 10
keep your books for yourself. Even
when you have finished studying in a
particular book you may want to refer
TO it. and after your school days are
over your books will be reminders of
the delightful times YOU had when you

because they are written in n clear,
plain. straightforward style which it is
quite easy to comprehend. They do
not wander away from the point, and
they give Il great deal of information
packed up in Il small compass. A good
school book on any subject is Il real
treasure.
All books should be treated with re.
spect. No nice person leaves books ~
ing around heedlessly. with the bind
loosened. and the pages curling up at
the corners. If n girl is neat about her
room and her dress, she will surely be
SO in the care of her books. Never let
books gather dust. They are as orna-
mental as pictures or flowers or vases,
and Il house in which there are a num-
Der of books is already half furnished.
If by any chance books have been
used by Il patient in illness, such as
scarlet fever or any other contagious
disease. they must Immediately be
burned up. This is the only safe WAY.
\ child recovering from such an attack
may ask for his or her books to play
with. Let the books be given. if the
mother is willing. but they must be de-
strOyed afterwards. Even if they have
remained on shelves in the room ard
the patient has not SO much as touched
them. they must be burned, for books
have Il way of preserving germs of dis
case, and must be used only by people
who are not ill with anything infec-
tious or who are perfectly well.
Do L think books should be covered:
To save the bindings, you mean? 1t de-

the hands which hold them. Smooth.
white paper makes a good covering. and
is easily renewed, and most publishers
