somewhat depressed. His pulse is 81,

to the dying head of the Roman Catho-

1 G. w. Grinton, of the Forty-fOurth

1T is generally the rule he said, ito
criticise a man numerically while he
lives, to expose all his weakness and
follies If he be a public servant, to
caricature him and hold him UP to a
world wide ridicule, and then when
dead to gather up his good deeds into a

the golden age of the papacy in its best

and reformer, the name of Leo XIII will
be placed among the very great, if not
the greatest pope. in history
