find in the center of the map of Italy n
section entitled States of the Church"
Since 1870, when the Italian troops
marched into Rome and took posses
sion of it as the national capital this
title of the Pope's temporal dominion
has disappeared from the atlas; but
the Pope has not renounced his claim
to be the rightful sovereign of the
medieval states of the church. When
the Italian Kingdoms and principalities
were united by Cavour's diplomacy,

Of the great capitals of Europe. The
Vatican has been helpless in this con-
fiict with the state. Its Swiss guard
could not offer resistance to the nation
al army, but could only perform police
duty at the Vatican and the Lateran--
where the old-time Papal privileges are
preserved by law. The Vatican, how
ever, has chung tenaciously to the tradi-
tons of its ancient rights. and refused
to make any compromise with the
state. Plus IN. and Leo XLII. have
taken the same position on this Ques-
ton. and charged the state with usurp-
ing what once belonged to the Latin
Church exclusively. This is a brief
statement of what Is known In Italy
as the conflict between church and
state. 1t is bitter quarrel between the
Vatican and the QuirinaI. and there Is
no immediate prospect of any settle
ment of the questions at issue. II the
Vatican were willing to he reconciled
with the Quirinal, its position would be
altered in Europe and its resources of
power would be greatly diminished. If
peace were made, the Pope would be
regarded at the Austrian, German and
other courts as the chaplain of the
King OF Italy.

Speaking of the dullness of many
honest reformers: their inability to get
beyond small retail methods of admin
istration; their lack of public magma
ton; of civic pride; of power of initia
ton and of quick sympathy with pop
ular aspirations, DR.. McKelway says:
1.-The political freebooters often take
these things into account. with results
that make the mercurial masses prefer
brilliant brigandage to incompetent in
tegrity." The alliterative wit of this
remark need not make us forget its
wisdom.

The Investigations of Vito 10 Bosco,
an Italian hygienist show that paper
and tapestry wallcoverings in houses
are favorable to the preservation of
disease germs. On the other hand,
walls covered with stucco or good var
nish can not only be readily freed from
germs by washing, but they possess
the property of cleansing themselves
spontaneously from bacteria lodged
upon them. 1t has been found that the
germs of typhoid, of cholera and of
pneumonia when placed on such walls
perish within twenty four hours, while
on walls covered with dried size they
survive for weeks and even months.
Dampness increases and prolongs the
danger.

FEMININE HANDWRITING.
The Large Style Is Becoming Commeni
and Is Said to Indicate a
Breadth of Mind.

Many deductions have been drawn
from the increasing size of feminine
handwriting 1t is quite true that the
modern young woman will take-up with
few words in her slapdash caligraphy
as much room as her maiden aunt would
have needed for a judicious epistle up
cu serious subject But 1t Is not fair
to argue that, as the size of hands has
grown, the letters formed by them must
necessarily follow suit. Because sevens
are now habitually stocked in gloves
and five-and-a-half's quite difficult to,
obtain, largeness of handwriting is
none the less of moral rather than ply,
steal significance. The biggest man /
know writes microscopic hand, the
woman whose pen describes the largest
curves has tiny and dainty fingers.
Other observers will find similar re-
suits 1t is the brain that influences
the writing. Viewed from this stand
point, one is able TO congratulate the
present day woman upon at least one
Of her Observation-Disclosures OF.
mind. She would seem to be ennanci-i
pating herself from the habit. so dis
tressing in her sex, of paying undue
regard to the little things of life.
1t should be added, however, that
there is a large type of writing, ag-,
gressive, obstinate and complicated,
with certain well-defined signs OF ego
tism, which, in lieu of breadth, means
nothing more elevated than morbid and
passionate absorption in one subject
only, that subject being frequently the
qualification of self.
But we are speaking of the normal
type. OF this I say, without fear OF
contradiction, that it indicates
healthy absence Of small fault findings
and Observation-Disclosures Times.
