LEO'S POEM ON DEATH

Aged Pontiff Writes a Defiance Of It's Power When Dangerously III in 1897. Pope Leo Kill, when in the shadow of death, n 1897, wrote poem IT I..t- in which is considered among the ncst beautiful of his literary effeorts. was tra 1yl;ire,l as fol ows:
 l:Ear H. The westering sun draws near his cloudy bed,
 head: The sluggish life blood in thy withered veins More slowly runs its course-what then remains? Lo! death is branddshing his fatal dart mortal part; But from it's prison freed, the soul ex- \ bands Exulting pinions to the enfranchised lands. My weary race is runI touch the Hear, Lord. the feeble paintings of my soul; If it be worthy, Lord, Thy pitying breast Welcome it unto everlasting rest! May behold thee, Queen of earth and sky, Whose love enchained the demons lurking nigh The path to heaven; and freely shall own
 Twas Thy sweet care that gained my bhssfu ul crown!

Here is a pointer for the several young lawyers who are just branching out in this city, A magazine writer says: ''On being admitted to the bar took time to decide some grave oues- tions. The first was whether to enter a law firm or to set up my own office. From my experience as student in a big office, where had, toward the last. been intrusted with every variety of the work not done in person by the heads of the firm, had learned clearly the scale of probabilities open before a young lawyer in a firm. I had obl served that if young lawyer has fam fly prestige and means he may bring enough to the firm to entitle him soon to good independent position in it. If he cannot make this contribution his individuality is likely to be lo-- and he does not stand much chance to rise far above clerical connection. Inas. much as my individuality was my only asset, I determined to work it for all it was worth by setting up my own lit tie office; later on when had earned my place, could consolidate with a firm, if I chose, to much better advan tage. The years have justified that in itial decision"

A party just returned from an or. chid trip to Venezuela tells of the srf- feriDgs endured by one member of the group, who thought he was mortally bitten by a snake The party met with terrible hardship and privation and only about half of them got back to civilization. They were in contin ual danger from snakes, and the na. tive remedies, the only ones at hand were severe ones. One day, Mated Ramirez, one of the men walking through the jungle, was bitten just above the ankle by a snake. Andre suspected that the bite was not poi sonot1s, but Mateo was in mortal ter. TOT, and allowed his friends to subjec him to a remedy worse than the dis ease Throwing him to the ground they wound a strong creeper around his thigh until it cut into the flesh, ant then burned the wound with a live coa until the patient shrieked in asony Chewed tobacco and crushed garli, were afterward rubbed in. and tht wound bound up. The snake bite wa, cured, but the poor devil suffered fo many days from the remedy.

Athletic exercises can serve a wo- mans vanity as well as her health. The right kind of exercises, as Elizabeth Dryden talks about in Outing for July, can add greatly to woman's beauty, grace and style. Miss Dryden de scribes what actually has been achieved in individual cases and the practical ways by which the same TO suits may be obtained. It is not mus cle that woman wants, she maintains, but grace and style. 'Srhe dress re- former or physical culturist," says Miss Dryden, .sattired in her eccentric gaI+bs, has lived to see her dreams realized Z strangely enough her tabooed theories have been gradually adopted, but vanity and not common sense won the day" We wonder how many wo- men will agree with Miss Dryden.

A movement is now OF foot to re organize the entire naval administra- tion, says a Washington writer. MT Moody, the secretary of the navy, now has plan in his hands providing for the creation of naval general staff
 If this plan is adopted the department institutions, such as the war college
 or the bureau Of navigation, will be merged with the general staff, whose chief will exercise the same supervis. ion over the military divisions as the assistant secretary over the bureaus, and in the absence of both secretary and assistant secretary, the chief ot sstaff will be acting secretary. The present functions and authority of the secretary will be maintained. This re organization plan should, and undoubt
 edly will, be adopted Ever since tht

THE STATE POLICE.

The commissioners chosen to elect a superintendent for the new state po- lice qdepa rtrn ent seem to have more or less trouble in solving the problem of selection. We are now promised a choice by Monday next, and then this interesting bump on the log of state commissions will finally be in full sight of the popukace.
 Outside of the comstitutionality of the state police bill, which we under stand has been already questioned by various judges of the bench, it is rather difficult to see just where the impor- tant services which this new depart rnent is to render the state, come in.
 There would be no occasion for it had not the Law and Order League itself questionable institution, dis banded The '--- right that that or ganizatfon had nxfst was that il was something il private detective nature But for the state itself tc institute such a thing and foist it or the public for support is another mat ter entirely. Even if it's services are called upon it is entirely probable tha1 decidely pretty row could be worked up over it's initial performance. We expect to see the state police depart ment run up against a constitutional ailment immediately it draws its frs breath of life. ii i av Dp :l,i" ta sup. port itself by leaning up against the political columns of some newspapers but as public service institution Ii has our profound suspicion.

VERY REMARKABLE CURE OF
 DIARRHOEA.

About six years ago for the first time in my life had a sudden and se- were attack of diarrhoea,'' says Mrs Alice Miller of Morgan, Texas. ''I got temporary relief, but it came back again and again, and for six long years I have suffered more misery and
 agony than I can tell. It was worse than death. My husband spent hun dreds of dollars for physicians pre-
 scriptfons and treatment without avail. Finally we moved to Bosque county, our present home, and one day I hap- pened to see an advertisement of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diar- rhoea Remedy with testimonial of a man who had been cured by 1t. The case was so similar to my own that I concluded to try the remedy. The re suit was wonderful. could hardly realize that I was well again, or be- lieve it could be So after having suf- fered so long. but that one bottle Of medicine, costing but a few cents, cured me For sale by all druggists.

LEO KITS PHYSICIANS

It was practically certain, if the pope's illness continued long enough without definite results one way or che other, that the change-of- doctor view would be heard from.
 The notion is very common, if not universal that to increase the medical skill already engaged in your service is a very good thing to do. This in- crease is very nearly always quantE tative, and not qualitative. Those who are financially able to call in new physicians generally have at the outset the best ones to be had. As the rule. it practically amounts to so much more of the same kind of medical in sight and of medical Judgment as that already at work in your service; what has been done is approved, if the old and the new physicians are about equally competent, and there you are, substa ntially and often exactly, where you were. This very nearly invari- able result however, has no effect up- on the notion. The idea is almost fixed that there is increased safety in a multitude of physicians; and the physician who has the case in charge, however able he may be, has to sub
 
 does with entire readiness,
 It is safe to say that if Leo Kill were younger man. and had an ill., ness showing precisely the same symp toms as those of his present illness, he would still trust himself exclusively to the care of Dr Lapponi and Dr Mag zoni. Both of these eminent men, the first on the side of medical knowledge and the other on the side of surgical Knowledge, possess the invaluable ad- vantage of knowing their patient. They have learned, by previous treat ment of him, how to treat him now. This is at least half the medical bat tie in the case of an aged, attentive and clearJheafed patient Leo XIII knows by experience that it is safe for him to trust himself to their joint skill, and they know, by the same ex- perience, the precise personal and bod fly equations involved in applying to him the necessary remedies or allevi- ations. He may die, to be sure; but all men must die sooner or later, in- cluding the Roman popes; and when the date of death arrives no physician can do more than to make the dying man as comfortable as may be- The death of Leo XIII at this time win carry no repTpach whatever to Dr Lap poni and Dr Mazzoni They are com petert, and both of them have been diligent and devoted in the highest de- gree.
 It is not necessary to fnpute bad faith to the suggestion of a consuIta- fiOn. Ordinary human anxiety ac- counts fully enough for the sugges- ton. But it is fussy and wholly inconsiderafe piece of huTnan anxiety, just the same. Dr Lapponf in par ticI1lar deserved better treatment, but he has the satisfaction o6 Knowing that this hearbnent did not come from Leo XIII.-Hartford CouTant.

outbreak of the Spanish-American war 1t has been apparent that the bureau of navigation is in need of a thorough oyerhau1ing. It has been hotbed of political intrigue and chicanery. The impertinent role that some of the ofn- cials played in the Sampson-Schley controversy is well remembered. Any thing that is calculated to remove the navy and army departments beyond the sphere of politics and offensive ln- trigue will have the nations approvai.
