THE POPE'S BIRTHPLACE.
Lovely Spot on a Peak of the Lepini
Mountains.
rom the London Standard.

From the London Standard.
The Rome correspondent Of the Standard
recently sent an Interesting letter on Pope
Leo's birthplace to this paper. He spoke
of the weather in Rome. and quoted the
pope as saying:
This reminds me of my native mountain
air which have not breathed In forty-two
years and. what Is more. never shall again.
Sometimes. in the garden here. 1 get
Whit from the pines which carries me In
moment back to Carpineto."
The correspondent went on to say: "The
pontiff indeed, is quite justified in his low
ing regret for his birthplace. which is situ-
ated five miles distant from the railway,
on a peak of the Lepini mountains. and Is
surrounded by higher peaks. often snow
capped. making it a most picturesque spot.
The village has about 5000 Inhabitants,
chiefly shepherds, who, although wretch
edly poor. are strong and sturdy. and ex-
ceedingly proud of our family In fact,
the Pecci palace is the only building of any
pretensons in the village. situated 1t is
on the highest ground, overlooking the val
leys and hills. The interior is severe but
comfortable large halls opening one out
of the other hung with tapestry and family
portraits. and furnished with antique fur
niture. One little room, looking out over
the valleys. is called camera di monsig
more (monsignor's room, which the pope
plain Mgr. Pecci. and 1t reflects the simple
tastes which he still retains so conspicu-
ousy.''
Some time ago. as a sign of love for his
birthplace, the pope announced his inten-
tion of establishing in the parish "LeOnine
r,aatitute." under the Benedictine monks
for the advancement of agriculture. The
institute was completed with large tracts
OF land and all necessary buildings and ac-
commodation for 300 students Meanwhile
however. other advisers had gained the
papal ear and worked on his holiness love
of learning. that he changed his mind
and turned the institute into college,
where the clergy may perfect themselves
in the higher studies. under the Jesuits The
disappointment was intense. and everything
was done to induce the pope to carry out
the original idea ''as." the people said. I'VE
need bread. and the clergy are quite learn
ed enough"
The college has 200 rooms. The chapel has
been beautifully fitted up. the pope sending
for II two of his jubilee presents, the So
called Ratisbon altar" given him by the
town of that name. and the chimes cast in
Coventry.

JOURNALISM AS LIFE WORK.
No Substitute for Practical Training In

From the Chicago Record Herald.

thing for him to do Is to drop the use OF

under consideration instead the plain anu

writing and editing" Often the question IS

portunities which are we'll employed are
likely to prove serviceable. The point IS

There is no substitute. however. for the
practical training of the newspaper ONCE.

is knowledge OF men. which Involves
both the ability to draw ln1orma-

and the further ability to test the value OF

be gained only by practical experience
When a young man is equipped with

proftably spend further time in the study
of government. politics. society and litera-

further training concurrently with their

they do not get it close limits are put to

The Ideal Vacation.
From the Chicago Tribune.

Vacation days no less than work days
are full of disappointments. and many
yacationist has to admit at the end Of his
outing that 1t was not the kind Of thing
he needed. OF course the ideal holiday for
each individual Is the one that offers ex-
tstence on an entirely different plane from
the one to which he Is accustomed. 1t

come a farmer. the farmer bookman and
the Office man a fisherman. The house
keeper should have freedom from order

man ought to taste of an early to bed and
early to rise existence. and the club woman
would do well to seek a society where pa
perS' are never read or listened to. But
as a matter Of fact the ideal vacation is
granted to few. and ones summer self is
much like ones winter self. The farmer
rarely spends his holiday in a library nor
does the bookman seek the corn fields. The
housekeeper closes her winter home only
to dispense summer hospitality in a coun-
try residence, the society woman finds ho-
tel hops Irresistible. and the club woman
is frequently asked to relieve the tedum of
holidays with short papers on deep sub
iects A complete change is not possible to

Answer Your Phone.
From the New York Times.

-
One of the small. but very curious. rnyste-
ries Of the day is the existence in the mind
OF almost everybody who uses the tele-
phone OF a feeling that he has a special
claim upon the time and attention of any
body whom, for his own interest or conve-
nience, he chooses to call up The man
who seeks an interview in the old-fash-
ioned way has no such feeling. He sends
in his card usually with an explanation Of
his business. and then with more or less pa
tience waits until the person he wants to
see IS ready to receive him. The man at
one end of a telephone wire. however, de-
mards that he be treated on a favored
nation basis" and IL he Is kept waiting
more than a few seconds by the man at
the other end he resents it as discour-
teSy, II not an actual wrong. And the tel
ephone companies themselves seem to as
sumo that each subscriber has entered into
a tacit contract to leap promptly to his In
strument every time the bell rings and
they Scold him when he doesn't do Il, on
the ground that he hurts the service"
This assumption of the companies is se-
riouSly-and therefore amusingly-express-
which. after telling how much better the
telephone service is now than 1t used to be,
proceeds to lecture the called subscriber
for not doing his part to make IT still more
prompt. The average time. II says.
taken by the subscriber to answer the tel
ephone bell Is still much greater than Il
should be- and it still lies in the power Of
the subscriber greatly to increase the effi-
cheney of the telephone service by cutting
this time down. 1t represents at present
the larger proportion Of the total time oc-
Cupied In getting two subscribers together
on the telephone. and long as that is so
1t will remain a standing reproach to tele-
phone subscribers in general
