The native place Of the late Pope
Leo XIII, famous as he is in the his
tory of the present generation, is not
much visited by the tourist. Car
pineto. the town Of his birth. Is still
little known, at least to English
speaking people.
The journey from Rome to Carpi-
neto though long and wearisome, Is
full OF interest, especially in the fair
month of May. AS the train rounds
the verge of the Roman Campagna on
the side Of the Tusculan hills. the Vt
tie town stands out brilliantly against
the green vineyards az their base;
and over the broad plain where at
intervals a semi-ruined watch tower
breaks the monotony rise the cities
with ancient names and long histor-
ical records, such as Palestrina and
Labico and Segni. On the other side,
on the highest point Of all stands the
two towers cutting the eastern sky,
and marking the situation of Rocca
Priora, the descendant of the ancient
Rocca Perjura, or swearing stone,'
where at this boundary between two
warning states treaties were sworn
and obligations and contracts made
with all solemnity.
Here, In the midst of this fair coun.
try, rises the villa of the Pecci fam.
ily-a two-storied building, with a
high 'loggia" or balcony on its roof,
the three arches Of which look to-
ward Carpineto. Only one-half the
house Is built; the other half, which
was to face toward Monelancio. after
about two centuries, Is still unbuilt.
Here in the grounds Of this Casino,
or villa of the Peccis, the young stu.
dent, who was afterward to reach the
highest position in the church, passed
his vacations. An old and withered
chestnut tree which stands here Is
still pointed out as his tree; and un.
| der its shadow he read over and over
again, until his mind was penetrated
with them, the sonorous verses Of
his favorite authors, Virgil and Hor
| ace. The influences of the studies he
made here may be recognized in the
! Latin poems he himself composed
| afterward.
| On the way you pass the Church
| Of St Agostino. which Leo XIII re
newed from it's former dilapidatet
state-it dates from the twelfth cen
tury-and built very beautiful con
| vent beside 1t, which he transferred
| to the Augustinians. Over on the
other side of the valley is the Fran
ciscan monastery, which when l knew

The summer girl. whether at the

They stick these in their hair and
the aromatic fumes float on and up
and, 1t is said, deter the enterprising

Anticipated style in which she is rep

out on each side, shows her to be a

afterwards Leo XIII, was her sixth

he was born; when he was in his
18th year the future Pope lost his
mother. She died in Rome and was
buried in the Church of the "Stim-
