KING PETER IS STRICTLY
 BUSINESS LIKE MONARCH
PREsloEs AT EVERY CABINET MEETING, BUT SHOWS NO lN- cLINATIoN TO INTERFERE WITH WORK OF HIS MINISTERS.

London, August 19.-An interesting sketch of the new King of Servia is given In a Belgrade dispatch published in the Daily Mall" this morning. King Peter, says the correspondent, is very prudent. He interests himself in every branch of the administration. He presides at every cabinet council and expresses his opinion unreservedly; but he permits the ministers to act freely and untram- melled Unlike his predecessor he refrains entirely from expressing any wish re- garding appointments or dismissas. an unheard of innovation in the Balkans.
 All letters addressed to the King, even from his relatives, seeking public ap- pointments, are invariably handed to the chiefs of the departments concerned without even a suggestion from his majesty. Neither does he interfere in party policies nor exercise any direct in- fluence on the foreign policy of Servia. which today Is neither pronounced Rus sophie nor decidedly pro-Austrian.
 The Kings private life is as simple and democratic as 1t was berore nis access sion to the throne.

Gives Away His Weight In Gold.

He has lakes of rupees and stores of
precious stones as well as elephants and
palaces and numerous wives. And once

He is not generous in an impulsive man
ner, after the style of the white man,
but in a stately and traditional way fol-
lowing a custom which has been handed
down to him by his ancestors from time
immemorial. The MahaTajah has just
celebrated his annual charity with unu-
sual splendor. Months before the cere-

WHERE THE POPE LIES ILL.
Entering the Room Is Like Getting
Taste of Sprinq.

ROME, July 12=As many fantastic
descriptions are in circulation regard
ing the room where Pope Leo lies, the
representative of the Associated Press
has taken some pains to secure an ex-
act account from one of the pope's
nephews, who sees his uncle daily.
The room Is large, bright and airy.
The walls are hung with pale green
and gold silk damask Entering it,
with the sun pouring through the
ample window, is like taste of spring.
A large curtain divides the room and
is generally drawn open, showing on
the right the modest brass bed COW
cred with a red damask coverlet. Even
in his desperate condition, Pope Leo
shows great daintiness with regard to
his person, performing a full toilet
whenever possible and changing daily
his fine white batiste nightshirt At
the head of the bed is a good picture
of the Madonna, besides a holy water
font, while in the middle of the adj
jacent wall is an immense cruciffX,
reaching from floor to ceiling, with an
ivory figure of Christ. At the foot of
the bed stands very simple walnut
writing desk, at which the pope has
written the best Of his Italian poems.
On the other side Of the curtain stands
the now famous armchair, which is
most comfortable, small table, few
shelves with the popes preferred
books and nothing more. The cham
Der gives the idea of extreme sim
plicity, luxuries being vigorously BAN
ished.
Even in his present condition, Pope
Leo has great objection to having
people about him unless specially
called, SO that except in the moments
when he was much worse DR.. Lapponi
and his valet, Contra, themselves could
not enter unless he rang. Contra, who

company" pointing to the large cru
cifix.
Now and then the pope suspects
that something is being concealed from
him, so today, after the visit of the
doctors, when copy of the medical
bulletin was brought in, he read it
attentively and then rang. When Cen
ira appeared in response to the bell,
he said abruptly: Bring me another
copy of the bulletin" emphasizing the
word bulletin" and evidently think
ing that the first one had been doc
tored for his benefit, as has been done
before. But today Contra was able
triumphantly to bring another identi-
cal with the first.
One of the greatest difficulties is ito
prevent the pope from speaking too
much. When some one is allowed to
visit him. he Immediately begins de-
scribing the satisfaction he felt on the
greetings he received on the occasion
of the last jubilee. and also at the man

which he considers almost Providential
to strengthen the influence of the Cath
Ole church in the person of it's head.
Then either the doctor or one of his
nephews steps in and monopolizes the
conversation, obliging the pope to be
silent. which he does not like at ALL
1t is wonderful what different i'm
pressions people receive of the pope's
condition, according to their different
temperaments. For instance. the AS
ISOLATED Press correspondent was pres
ent when Cardinals Ferrata. Segna
and Cretoni left the sick room togeth-
er. Cardinal Ferrata, rubbing his
hands together. said: 1.-THE holy father
is almost convalescent We shall soon
see him in the Vatican gardens again."
Cardinal Segna, making the sign of the
cross. sighed: Our beloved pontiff is
lost" while Cardinal Cretoni. shaking
his head in doubt, exclaimed: who

upon their symptoms, they reinforce the
nrst simple suggestions of illness by a
whole army of thoughts and fears and
imagines of disease until they are untitled
to do days work in their homes or of
fees.
There is greater danger that young girls
who are delicate while growing up and
lounge around the house and lie down
whenever they feel the least bit out of
sorts Will form habit of inValidism when
they reach maturity
How often do we see such girls brace

the time being an instantaneous cure is
effected. They are as well as anybody
until after the entertainment.
Indulgent mothers are frequently to
blame for this physical and mental lazi-
ness-for it is nothing more-on the part
of their daughters. A lounge or sofa is
a positive curse in many a home because
1t is such temptation to lie down and
succumb to trifing suggestions of illness
or the least indsposition. A habit of Civ
ing in whenever you don't feel like it, Is
fatal to all achievements. and ruinous to
self discipline. self-poise and nobility and
dignity of bearing.
