The Republican members Of the

or standing by itself. which will meet
the trust evil. and they cannot fail to
see the necessity Of enacting such law

POPE LEO'S LONGEVITY.
Abstemiousness the Factor Most Con-
ducive to Long Life.

DIR. J. y. Walsh writes from Rome to
the Mexican Herald: During the last
few days | have had the opportunity of
seefng Pope Leo XIII several times.
The patriarchal old man is now near
1y 81 years old. Several days of each
week he goes to St Peters to bless the
pilgrims fiocking to Rome during this
jubilee year. He is bent with age. but
he raises himself with gentle but Wig
orous dignity from the chair On which
he is carried to bless the assembled
thousands as he passes from on group
to the other. He joins in the v
und intoneS part of the han with q
voice that a the quaver of age. but is
well heard even in the distant parts of
St Peters when there are thousands
beneath it's lone. Those who know the
vast edifice will realize how much his
means. The Pope looks stronger now
than when I saw him three years ago.
and he seems TO give promise of living

II seems worth the while to know
some details of the mode of life of this
hale monogenarian. ] called on his
physician-Dr. L-apponi-who courte-
vusiy agreed to furnish information on
the subject. Like the great majority

rood and drink he has taken in such
moderation hat his daily diet seems
scarcely more than that of some an
ehorite of early Christian days.
Though he rises regularly. even at his
present advanced age. at five O'Clock
m the morning. he takes nothing to
eat until between s and Q a. m. Then
he drinks a cup of milk with a lash of
coffee in it. and eats a roll or some
biscuits dipepd in his milk. His prin-
cipa1 meal is at 2 p. m. when he takes

all Italians. he takes some wine at this
meal. and prefers Bordeaux He never
eats SWEETS and but rarely fruit. al
though italians generally fruit
literally. He takes a very light supper
at 5 p. m. scarcely more than bread
and water with ar egg.
Most Of the food the Pope is
in liquid form. This Is more or less
necessitated by the absence of teeth in
later years. but all his life ne con-
sumed more liquids than IS usually the
case. When there was question. some
ten years ago. Of his getting artificial
teeth his doctor advised him against 1t.
The reason was hat "a new set OF teeth
would probably tempt him to eat
things that would disagree with his
stomach.
In sleep tbs Pore Is. if possible. still
less indulgent than in food. Now at
the age OF 81. he takes > or s hours
never more. and sometimes even less.

here at Rome. he always take an hours
sleep after his midday meal. Yet fire.

sleep for the "a hours does not amount
to more than five hours. When young
err he took even less than this not in
frequently.
The Pope's doctor Is of the decided
opinion that it is the Pontin's abstem-
iousness and hi freedom from worry
that have most contributed to his long
life. Constitutional ailment there is
none. even at his advanced age. n
there is no aso barring accident.
why he should not live to complete his

for longevity. abstemoiusness is the
