A Mighty Retrospect.
When Leo was born George III still reign
ed in Great Britain:s the uCorsican wizard
sat on the French throne ruling half the
world; the greatest Of the Alexander czars
ruled all the Russias, and Thomas Jeffer-
son, father of democracy, was President Of
the United States. Looking backyard his
life had a mighty retrospect. Many nations
exist now which are younger than Leo;
many have passed away which were hoary
with history when he was born. Among
the old independent countries to vanish
was the states of the church in which he
first saw the light: one of the new ones to
come into existence was that United Italy,
which the recluSe of the Vatican ne -er
recognized, yet under whose flag he wos
compelled to live.
Pope Leo was the Oldest ruler in the
world, and he was one of the most aged
men who ever sat upon the pontitical
throne. He was venerable man of sixty
eight when he attained the highest homer
of the church, and he reigned for over a
quarter of century. He survived all his
associate cardinals, and the present sacred
college is said to be entirely of his crea-
ton, a thing unprecedented in papal his
tory.
Long as his life has been he lived under
but five popes- He was born during the
reign of the unfortunate Plus VII, perse
cuted and imprisoned by Napoleon. He
began his novitiate under Leo XIII QS23 -29)
in whose honor he probably chose the
name under which he has been known.
The short reign of Plus VIII 1s29-3O) saw
him attain manhood. Gregory XVI QS31-
46) was the throne of ST. Peter when
Leo XIII became priest. and to his favor
Pecci owed many advances.
The name Leo, borne by thirteen popes,
has not heretofore been associated with
prolonged occupation of the papal throne.
Several of the Leos had shockingly, and,
in the mddleS ages, almost Suspiciously
short leases of the captaincy of the church.
Leo II reigned but two years, Leo thirty
days, Leo VI seven months, Leo VII two
years and Leo XI twenty-siX days. The
latest of the Leos reigned longer than any
of his predecessors who bore that name.
But l.e occupied the papal throne five less

Gen. Grants Visit.
In his tour of the world after the close of
his presidency General Grant visited Rome
and paid his respects to Pope Leo a few
days after he succeeded to the keys of
Saint Peter. He is the only American Pres
ident who ever visited a pope. He was
presented by Cardinal McCloskey. the first
American to receive the pallium. The story
of this visit was thus told by the late John

to all that savored of religion, which at
one time bid fair to lead to the early sep
ration of church and state in France.
Alive to the danger of the situation. the
pope sought to conciliate the republic by
acknowledging 1t as the established legal
form of government. and. in 1891, the late
Cardinal Lavgerie gave expression to his
holiness views on this subject. to the great
surprise of the Catholic press and the per-
turbation of not a few members Of the
French epiScOpate.
While thus engaged in political negotia-
tions with various countries requiring the
greatest address and deXterity, the late
pope paid special attention to the actual
work of propagating the Catholic faith,

Red-headed Boys and Girls.

English scientists have been collect
Ing statistics regarding the aptitude
of school children. Among the inter-
esting results of their observations are
facts which show relation between
color of the skin and hair and mental
proficiency. They say that the au-
burn-haired boys are generally at the
head of their recitation classes, and
that blond girls are the best at learn
ing.
The auburn and blond girls come
out best in arithmetic, but are not
good at composition. Dark-haired
children of both sexes seem to have
better Imaginative qualities than the
fair ones. and have much better style
in composition. The dark boys behave
better than the fair, and are more sen.
sitive to praise or blame. Probably
the reason is that the auburn and
blond children, being of Flemish ORR
gin. are more phlegmatic than the
dark ones.

often to think for a moment that it
would tax seriously large bank S
resources. Five times that sum, say
$25 100000, can be raised at twenty
four hours notice. 1t has been done.
OF course, no one bank could do it,
but the great Wall street institutions
are linked together in such a way rs
to provide almost unlimited re-
sources for the financing of any safe
deal. The large banks think little of
