they would greatly displease the

were o common enough practice,
but Leo XIII has different ideas.
| There 10 an exception made, how
ever, in the case of the white caps
it happans sometimes that he will
exchange the one that he is wearing
for = new one when the persons of
fering il are known to him. For
instance certain American lady
f1ast winter asked and obtained two
Of these head coverings. Some
time after at an audience, the Pope
received the same lady holding in
in her hand q beautiful new cap
filled with golden coins for Peters
Pence. 'Ah,' said the Holy Faith.
er, laughing. 'it's for the cap that
you have come; here it is.' And
he exchanged the one he wore for
the one the lady held out to him,
after having poured out the con-
tents into the hands of a privy
chamber man. Shaving is q veri-
table bore for the Pope; method icsl
as he is he will not set q day nor
an hour for that part of his toilet.
His good Contra, who is also his
barber, has to press him to make
up his mind.
The Vatican naturally gu bscribes
for the Catholic newspapers, but
the Pope reads others too, Italian
and foreign. which get to the Papal
Palace through an intermediary
who subscribes for them in his own
name. To shorten the Holy Faith
er's labor. q Catholic journalist
reads certain number of them and
cuts ont the clippings for the Pope.
Some years ago this work was done
in the Secretary of States office.
Many persons will be surprised
to learn that Leo XIII still reads
without spectacles not like long
sighted persons but holding the
matter rather close to his eyes. He
prefers in the evening the calm
light of . candlestick with three
candles, although from his arm
chair he has only to touch button
to obtain the electric light which
was introduced into his bedroom
three years ago; but he rarely
makes use of 1t.
An eccentricity of Leo Kills is
that of having his servant Centra
lock him in when he withdraws at
bedtime. II the Pope needs him
in the night, he must ring and
Centra's room is five minutes walk.
There seems to be little use, there
fore, for the two servants who by
turns sleep in q room next to that
of the Holly Father and whose
whole business, in case of need, is
to call Contra. The persons about
Leo XIII, do not like this habit,
for in case of sudden illness they
might not reach him quick enough.
Fortunately, the Pope is perfectly
we'll and his organs are acting as
they should. That diminishes
anxiety. In spite of the worry
that affairs in France have caused
him for some time the hope of
seeing the venerable old man reach
the age of 100 years is not at all
extravagant. Such, at least, is
the opinion of his physicians.
