a corpse-it is thus that Leo XIII has
: been described. He is always a domi-
nant and imposing ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
er arrayed in the simple sOttano of
white wool and the plain calotta skull
cap or in splendid pontifical robes, and
priceless gems. Nervously restless, he
rarely sits for any length of time, and
never without incessant changes of at
titude. Until of late, he took snuff con-
stantly, but by medical advice, he has
renounced his one indulgence.
Leo XIII speaks quite as often in
French as in Italian and always with
extreme rapidity. He only commenced
to study French when appointed
Nuncio to Belgian, land / could speak
as fluently as l do now by the time
l reached Brussels" he is reported TO
have said. King Leopold used to eX-
claim, Il forget Pecci is an Italian"
He does not speak English, although
he began the study of the language
more than a half a century ago. He
has one phrase which he always adj
dresses to English visitors at The
Vatican, this is, seat down."
He does his private writing with a
gold pen, but his pontifical signature
is always given with a white fiattened
Quill, which is believed to have come
from the wing of dove, although per-
sons who have seen it say it must have
come from a larger bird. The same
quill has been used more than forty
years. 1t only serves for important
signatures, and is kept in an ivory
case. The pen with which the Pope
signed and dated the first document Of
the twentieth century was present
from the citizens of Naples. It IS Of
gold. mounted with precious stones.
A letter to the Pope must be IN
Latin. The style need not be classical
but the language is obligatory. Some
sort of Latin must be employed. The
letters must be addressed to His Holt
ness Pope Leo XIII, the happily reign
ing (pontiff). 1t must begin with "Bea-
tissime Pater," Most Blessed rather,
and must end with some expression Of
regard When it reaches the Vatican 1t
has little chance of arriving at its des-
tination, unless some special precau-
lions have been taken, for the daily
budget numbers 10000 documents. An
excellent way of getting a letter into
the Pope's hands is to make use OF
two envelopes, the outer one directed as
above prescribed, and the inner one to
His Holiness the Pope, the Head of
the Universal Holy Roman lnquisi-
ton" A minor official who opened an
envelope addressed thus would incur

communications are handed to the
Pope, who opens them and passes them
on unread to Cardinal Rampolla.
The Pope is a keen judge of many
things, and has a pretty wit. He is re-
ported to have said that Mr. Hall
Gaines Italians, in spite of their
1ames. are all Anglo Saxons. When it
was suggested that the works of Sig
nor d'Anuunzio ought to be condemned
the Pope replied, Let him alone. He
is about the only man who knows how
to write good Italian"

number of the page and multiply the
sum by and then add 20.
Then ask him to add the number of
the line. Then to that add s. and null
| tiply the sum by 10. To the answer add
the number of the word in the line.
Subtract from this sum $50, and let him
tell you the result. You will be able 70
tell him the page chosen, the number o.
the line and the number of the word IL
the line, for the remainder will indicate
in the unit column the number of the
word; in the 10 column the number Of
the line, and the remaining figures the
number of the page.
To give an illustration of this, sup
pose your friend selects the 9Th word
of the 9Th line on page SO, he would
work 1t out in this fashion: 80 multi
piled by 2 equals &c, multiplied by .
equals $50, add 20 equals $50. to this ADD
6, the number of the line, and max
ing 361, multiply by 10 and you get
1910 add 6, the number of the word IN
the line, and then subtract $50, and the
answer will be 1866, the first two figures
80 will be the number of the page, tne
next figure the number Of the line ana
the last figure the number of the word
Another interesting and curious prop
lem in the magic of numbers relates 10
the English system of counting money
You know that IL pence make one shil-
ling and 20 shillings one pound. NOW
put down any number of pounds, not
more than ~, any number of shilllngss
not more than 20, and any number OF
pence under IL. Under the pounds pu'
the number of pence, under the snll,
lings the number of shillings and unde
the pence the number of pounds, thus
reversing the line: then subtract, re,
verse the line again, and together, anu
the result will be 912 1Ss lid, whateNe
numbers you may have selected. -.
To illustrate, suppose we take ~ los

If each one of us waited for
Science to tell him clearly what he
should eat. and how much, and at
what times, he might have to wait for
several centuries. Meanwhile we have
to be content either to follow custom
siavishly, to eat whatever is put be-
fore us, and to ask no questions (Which
means to listen to no questions or COM
paints from our internal organs and
apparatus and to dismiss these COM
plants as inevitable or ridiculous.) or
else to get some workable theory as a
makeshift until Science can tell us
something more definite about our
selves and about the changes which
go on within our bodies.

Murphy 6 Co.'s Grain Letter.

New York. January 23.-The trade was active in wheat today, and prices showed further decline. The cables were disap- pointing; again there was very little in the way of foreign trade in the market. It is true that clearances from American are large, but they are mainly from the Pacific coast or Manitoba wheat Foreign trade Is small both of cash and futures. The weather was colder, but accompa- nied by snow in the northwest, and the snow maps shows an extension of the snow-covered area well down toward the central lines of winter wheat section. It was cloudy with more snow predicted to- day Receipts were liberal in the north west St. Louis, which was very strong yesterday. was lower today. After break ing about 1c prices rallied. Corn was weak and active. Chicago broke 1ssc at the opening, and other markets were 5sc lower. The break west was one report of increasing offerings from the southwest, while Kansas City was reported very weak, with demand slackening off in the southwest.
 Trade during the morning was unsettled with early break the market turning weak towards noon. losing 11k62 cents, with active liquidations. The provision market was fairly steady during the morning with somewhat smaller live hog receipts, although the movement was large and quality of the hogs has im-, proved materially. showing a much bet ter average weight, compared with last year than they did in December. The clearances of hog products Nave recently shown quite a falling off. Later prices were weak with little advance.

started some buying and the market grew quite active. The way prices broke last night and advanced today reveals the uncertainty in the cotton situation as 1t exists. A market that can recover so quickly Is not one to be short of. Re- ports now show light stocks in the inter- for and If receipts fall off sharply from now on there will be an advance. But until this decrease takes place we can only advise buying or breaks to take profits on any advance.
