POPE MAY LIFT BAN.
ouirinai Likely to BE Vacated and May
BE Given Back TO Holy See.
Queen Dowagers Plan.

Rome, Dec. Negotiations were
said to be proceeding for the removal
of the ban Of Accommodation placed
upon the quirinal by Pope Plus TX,
and renewed by Leo XIIL., because
the quirinal was stolen from the
Holy See. The present pope, it was
understood. is willing to remove the
ban, If no Italian prince lives there.
No king or queen of Italy has lived
in the qnirinal for long time. but
in a wing or annex which never form
ed part of the quirinal and conse-
quently was placed under the ban
with the main building. The latter
has practically been closed except OH
occasions of official receptions.
The young king, it is said, contem-
plates building a new palace in the
Ludoyici quarter Of the city. The
quirtnal will be completely abandon
ed and it will not be surprising that
it is handed back to the Holy See.
The widowed Queen Margaret will
live in Rome, having decided upon
a life of active beneyolenee as more
acceptable as a form of penance and
mourning than .conyentual life. She
has bought the Piombino palace.
Her present ambition is to devote
her time and money to the intellee-
tual culture and the artistic develop
ment of her own country.
To this work. she has announced
that she will devote half her fortune,
the other half being set aside for
charity. She has received, under
King Humbert's will, about $1,000
600 and the state makes her q queen
dowager's allowance of 100000 a
year She has already specifically
set apart $4,000 a year to assist
and reward young workers in litera-
ture and science and art.

HOW WE LEARN.

Great truths dearly bought. The common
truth.
Such men give and take from day TO day,
Comes in the common walk of easy life,
Blown by the careless wind across way.
Great truths greatly won, not found by chance
Nor waited tho breath of summer dream,
But grasped in the great struggle of the SOUL
Hard bufetng with adverse wind and stream
But in the day Of conflict. tear and grief,
When the strong hand of God, put forth in
might.
Plows up the subsoil Of the stagnant heart
And brings the imprisoned truth seed to the
light,
Wrung from the troubled spirit in hard hours
OF weakness, solitude, peTchance of pain,
Truth springs like harvest from the well plowed
field,
And the soul feels it wept in vain
