TEMPORAL POWER OF THE POPE.

1t is impossible to point out an anal
ogy for the spectacle that the world
has been beholding in Rome during the
past couple Of weeks. In the tenacity
and endurance OF the venerable Pom
tilt, during the long and exhaustive
and most exciting series of functions,
there is something almost superhuman.
TO lind fragile old man, bowed with
an infant, sustaining all the fatigue Of
these prolonged ceremonials, receiving
pilgrims day after day, and replying to
addresses without number, answering
kilograms from all parts of the world,
and discharging the multifarious duties
pertaining to his high Office, with little
evidence OF physical strain, is a fact
uneXampled in modern experience.
Several reports OF serious result We're
spread abroad by alarmists, but the
only ill effects which developed them
selves III his case We're Il slight cold
and Il little hoarseness-natulal ally re-
sulting from the almost continuous de-
nand upon the vocal organs. Much
has been written about blind old Dan
dolo" leading his crusaders at eighty,
but his achievement was only one Incl
dent, and there is vast difference be-
tween eighty and ninety-three-
much, perhaps, conversely, as, at the
other pole Of life, between thirteen and
thirty three, so far as the physical pow
ers are concerned. Leo bears up brave
ly, sustained by his high courage as
we'll as 10y a providential strength, says
the Catholic Standard and Times.
Assurances of loyalty to the Pope's
Oh the Holy Father. One of the most
significant of these came this week
from the English Catholic body, repre-
scented by the Duke of Norfolk. No
doubt it seems anomalous that a noble
man whose official position recently in
volved his participation in Il ceremony
wherein Reputation of the Pope and
the Catholic faith formed Il very con-
spicuous feature, should be found sup
porting the Pope's claims to temporal
sovereignty, but it must be recQllected
that this in no degree touches Eng
lands particular claims to sovereignty
within her own borders.
In the address read by The Duke the
Catholics of England thus declared
themselves:
1--WE cannot forget the noble series
of encyclicals in which you have reg
ulated the affairs Of the Church with
the kingdoms of the world, while
strenuOusly asserting the independence
Of the Holy See, which Catholics
throughout the world will never cease
to claim"
Now, the independence Of the Holy
See" can be interpreted in no true way
save the exercise Of temporal sover-
cignty-at least i'll the city which is
the seat of the Prinatial Bishopric.
The Pope is no sense independent
while he is shut up within the four
walls of the Vatican. He has never
ceased to assert his indefeasible right
to the patrimony of Peter-a right far
better grounded than that of the Duke
of Norfolk sovereign to the crown Of
Britain. lie has right to the loyal
support of Catholics everywhere, in
maintaining his claim in season and
out of season, ana there can be little
doubt that it will in the long run be
found best for the worlds interests
that his claim be recognized and con-
coded.

MAY RUN DRAIN TO A
STREAM NEAR PREMISES

Questions relative to the drainage Of
the premises known as villa Flora, /" on
Brightwood Avenue and Piney Branch
Road. have been under discussion by the
municipal authorities for several
months. It appears that the place is at
present outside the radius Of the sew
erage system. Two ways have been sug-
gested to provide suitable drainage-one
to extend the sewer on Brightwood Ave
nue.. and the other TO build an overflow
drain from a septic tank or the premises
to a stream near by.
The Commissioners have finally ap-
proved a recommendation Of the Health
Officer that permission be given the own
er to install the drain to the stream,
subject to the written consent Of the
owners OF the property to be affected.

describe the methods of fruit growing

According to the pamphlet the fruit

the principles are not given to him by
nature. In fact, he is born, not made.
Fruit growing for home use and for the
interests Of commercial industry are the
same in the fundamental principles, but
