services as mediator between the govern
ment and the Catholic population, and these
were accepted. He interested himself In
eastern nations. He complained most bit
terly of the action of the Italian govern
ment, on the ground that priests were SUB
ject to military CONSUMPTION: that thel nstl-
tutions of charity in Rome were no longer
in charge of the church; that heterodoX
schools were opened; that the bishops had
been deprived of all their functions andrew
enues, and that the government had taken
to itself the patronage of the dioceses.
The Italian government was at that time
led by Prime Minister Depretis, a man to
whom the idea of the temporal power OF
the pope was an abomination. The minis
ter's policy was TO deprive the papal gov
eminent of all power except in things splr-
itual. The diplomatic training and subtle
brain of Leo XIII enabled him to see that
his only chance to influence the government
of Italy was by influencing that of other
countries, and his foreign policy became the
leading motive of his reign. He restored,
as one of his first acts, the hierarchy Of
Scotland, and he declared in the strongest
way there could be no compromise with
revolution.
In February, 1879, Populations represent
ing all Roma Catholic journalists arrived
at Rome anG were received by the pope.
To them Leo XIII spoke strongly, outlining
the policy they should take. In September
OF that year he, with marked liberality,
threw open to the scholars of the world the
treasures of the library of the Vatican. He
wrote the encyclical letter on socialism in
1878, Il letter which did much to win Prince
Bismarck, and during 1879 he established
the council of education for Rome.
In 1880 the celebration of the 18th anni
versary OF the coronation of Alexander,
car of Russia, gave Leo XIII an opportu-
nifty of reop2ning relations with the Rus
sian court and of pleading the cause of Rus
sian Catholics. He seconded this by pro
claiming a solemn Office of honor to the
memory of the Russian saints, Cyril and
Methodius, and in 1881 he established a
hierarchy for Bosnia and Herzegovina. He
encouraged t re Greek college in Rome and
enlarged it. He brought about concord be-
tween the papacy and the eastern schismat

The exceeding ability of the late pope, the

qualities of mind, He had a patience which
nothing could tire. He could wait months

II Is YOU AND l.

"a fool there was in the days of old,
And, faith! he wasn't the last on earth
Who bartered his place and his birthright
sold
For a mess of pottage of dubious worth,
He wasn't the last of his kind, say,
For ever and aye, as the aeons run
And the gray earth whirls. in its old, old
way,
A sage is a rarity under the sun. .c
Who isn't barters his soul for naught?
Stand in your places, or low or high
Who is it falls when to stand he thought?
Join in confession It's you and /.
Who is it stumbles and falters and fails;
Bowing to error, yet loving the true?
VINO when the wrong wears a coronet
quails?
Tears for confession It's 1 and you.
Whose are the lips that a prayer have
framed,
Only in living to give it the nay?
Who is the one who is not ashamed,
knowing the truth, with error to stray?
Who has forgotten his youths fair dream,
The armies of evil to meet and defy?
Who has but learned to plan and to
scheme?
Alas, for the wrcckage It's you and I.
"A fool there was in the days of old,
And, faith! he wasn't the last on earth
Who bartered his place and his birthright
. For mess of pottage of dubious WORTH
For still we are fools, and we barter still;
Yet who is it lifts his eyes on high,
And says: 'I have fallen, vet rise / will?"
Now God be praised! It is you and 1.

I once saw Mr.. Gladstone fast asleep
in one of the division lobbies, while
division was actually going on. 1t
showed how utterly tired out he must
have been, for usually when he was
going through division he rushed
to find q table, and started to write
either a letter or the dispatch to the
Queen in which he nightly recounted
the events of the Parliamentary sit
ting. On this occasion there was no
doubt Of his being asleep. Members
paused for a moment as they passed.
1t was q dark hour in the fortunes Of
the Liberal leader, for his Government
was breaking up, and he himself was
within few weeks of his everlasting
farewell to public life. His followers
were touched as they saw in the
strangely pallid face, in the drawn
lines and in the slumber of utter fa-
tigue the signs Of coming disaster and
final fall.-London M. A. L.

POWDERY MILDEW.

Powdery mildew ordinarily affects
young cherry and apple trees. 1t ap-
pears in white spots on the leaves; the
fungus threads send little suckers
down in the plants cells and alb
sorb the juices there. Black spores are
formed later, and these, with their
thick walls, live safely through the
winter and germinuate in the spring.
The disease defoiates young trees and
robs older ones Of much nourishment.
Burning the leaves in the spring is an
effective preventive. Finely powdered
sulphur busted over the diseased parts
of tree kills the fungus, and potas-
SUM sulphide solution-one-half ounce
to gallon of water-is nearly as ef-
fective.-The Cultivator.

AN ENEMY OF THE CHERRY.

Frequently the black cherry tree lice
so completely cover, distort and smear
with excrement the cherry leaves that
they are disgusting to behold; they
not only stop the growth of the tree,
but take much of the nourishment that
should go to the fruit while maturing.
AS with all plant lice, they winter in
the egg stage, Matching early in the
season into females which soon COM
mence to produce young, and by the
time cherries are ripe we have several
generations, each of which is pro-
ducing young each day. About July
the lice disappear to the roots or to
other plants. In the fall winged males
and females are produced and the fe-
males return to the cherry trees, there
depositing their eggs around the buds.
Remedy.-If kerosene emulsion is
used on the lice before they roll and
knot the leaves around themselves,
they can be very easily killed, but
when protected by the leaves 1t is diff
ticult to reach them with any remedy

SAVING FRUIT TREES.

In some parts of the West box irri-
cation is practical as cheap method
of saving fruit trees, vines and gardens
from drought. The boxes are made of
rough planks, usually about six inches
In length, and inserted in holes n foot
or more in depth, a few inches from
the tree or plants to be irrigated. Wa
ter is filled in the boxes and left to find
its way to the roots. This places the
water where 1t will do the most good,
precludes the possibility of waste, and
overcomes the objections to surface
irrigation.

KILLING A TREE.

The surest way to kill any kind OF
tree is to pile heap of stones around
it. The reason appears to be that the
stones obstruct the light and act as q
mulch to the soil, causing the tree
roots to feed near the surface. But
the stones are no obstruction to frost
so that the soil under them is usually
deep frozen, and the roots, being en-
cased in frozen soil, cannot supply SAP
to the tree, as all roots should do to
some extent, even in winter.

Electricity is making rapid progress
throughout Spain. At the end of last
year there were no less than G30 cities,
towns and villages in Spain with an
electric power station, and there were
only 430 towns with a population of
more than 1000 souls where electricity
had not as yet made it's appearance. In
the district of Barcelona alone there are
now over $50 turbines in use repre-
senting $4,000 horse power.

is largely a matter of scientific con-
lecture. 1t has been computed by

gravitation. 1t is true that Sir George
Biddel Airy, the British Astronomer
Royal, computed the earth's density
from experiments which he carried on

work, despite the short working sea-
son. Already much machinery for

were filed during the last season. and
