leaning toward statecraft than toward
the administrative and doctrinal duties
of his office at Rome. Many persons
declare that it is imperative that the
next pontiff should be a prelate who
would devote his entire energies to re-
forms of an administrative and eco.
nomic character, and likewise to the,
more rigid enforcement of the doc
trines and discipline of the church.
Cardinal Sarto, the patriarch of ven.,
ice, is the man Of all others who fills
these requirements. He is probably
the most able administrator Of the Ital-
ian episcopacy, combines firmness and
determination with abundant tact and
common sense, and has managed to in,
stitute number Of very practical re-
forms in his archdiocese of Venice
without giving offense either to the cler-
gy or to the laity. He avoids all news
paper notoriety. Indeed, his name is
rarely mentioned in the press. He has
always understood how to maintain
an agreeable yet dignified modus vi
vendi with the italian authorities,
from whom he derives his stipend, and
has shown his enlightenment by the
vigorous campaign which he has car.
ried on against the veneration Of relics
of questionable authenticity. He is on
friendly terms with the members Of

ceremonies at which they were

the present ruler of Italy. He is Just
sixty-eight years old, which will be in

since, as a general rule, that number of
years constitutes a guarantee that the,

would have a more enthusiastic sane
ton from the laity.
Pope Plus x. is sixty-eight years
old. He was born at Riese, in the prov
ince of Venice, and was educated in
the Salesian institute at Cottolengo,
founded by the famous Dom Bosco. He
was always of serious turn of mind
and when young man his rector said
to him that he had "neyer been a
child"
Cardinal Sarto was not discovered,
until he had reached middle age. He
was a parish priest in the province of
Venice for the most Of his years and
finally became bishop. His high ex-
ecutive qualities and unexcelled learn
ing became known soon after his ele-
walton and were recognized by the au-
thorities of the church. 1t was not
until 1893 that he was created cardi-
nal, at which time he was also named
as patriarch of Venice. Thus the
modest but able parish priest became
the head of the province in which he
had served so many years in lowly
position. His selection was made by
the consistory of 1898, which was COM
PEELED to sue the throne for the priyi-
lege of installing him as patriarch Of
Venice. In return for this concession,
which was made through Premier
Crispi, the church appointed an ecclesi-
astical vicar apostolic in northeastern
Africa to assist the premier in his pet
scheme of extending the African colo

Prof. Blank, who was born dry, and

others, recently achieved additional
dryness for himself. He was among a
large party shooting on the moors of
Scotland. Suddenly heavy storm of
rain came on. No shelter was at hand
and the sportsmen were drenched All,
at least, but Prof. Blank. He had
mysteriously disappeared when the
rain came on, and reioined the party
when the sun was shining again. To
their amazement, the erudite one was
as dry as one of his own books. How
did you manage to escape a wetting?"

A TRINITY OF EVILS.
Cured by Or. Kennedy's New Medicine After
Other Treatment Had Failed.

Mr.. Martin Montgomery, of Silvara,
Penn, formerly of Roxbury, N. Y, writing
to DIR. David Kennedy, of Kennedy Row,
said:
Your NEW medicine, Cal-cura Solvent,
is immense. 1t cured me of liver and kid
ney troubles, and rheumatism, after lot
of weary dosing with things that did no
good. 1t is a record breaker and no mis-
take"
AS in Mr.. Montgomery's case, rheuma-
tism is often, indeed almost always, COM
plicated with kidney and liver trouble. 1t
is because Cal-cura Solvent acts on the kid
neys and liver and at the same time expels
uric acid from the blood, that it is such a
reliable remedy for rheumatism and the at
tendant disorders. 1t cures by removing
the cause, therefore, the cure is permanent,
safe and sure.
