POPE LEO'S ILLNESS.

member of the senate, publishes in The
Rivista D'Italia today a long article to
demonstrate that Pope Leo XIII. died
Of tuberculosis cancer or right hydro
thorax. He attempts to show that all
the symptoms of the illness of Pope Leo
XIII. as stated in official bulletins by
Drs. Lapponi and MaZzonf lead to the
conclusion that the late pope was not
affected by pleurisy or pleuro-pneu-
monia.
Professor Cardarilli affirms that from
the moment bloody liquid appears in the
pleura, especially when the fluid gath
ers deceitfully, without pain or fever or
manifest cause of pluesy, the diagno-
sis of pluresy must be excluded and that
when the liquid forms in the right
pleura, it usually indicates cancer or
hydrothorax in aged people.
The declaration at the pOstmOrtem
examination that confirmed the diagno-
sis made by Doctors Lapponi and MAJ
Zoni, the professor declares is not suffi-
cient, as only careful microscopic exam
tnation in these cases can establish the
real affection of the pleura-

LIVE STOCK IN SCHOOL.

There may be a chance for con
troversy as to whether there should
be any religion taught in schools,
but there can certainly be no crit
icism for the powers in charge of
the welfare of the Kansas City
schools who have made the study
of live stock Il part Of the curricu-
Ium. The boy who learns how to
breed a good steer and how to
feed him for market is in better
position to be useful to his country
and to himself than when he is
studying the intricaeics of football
or even studying for the many
over-croWded professions. The
girl who learns to sew and cook
and care for the many wants OF a
family in the physical and mental
way is certainly OF more use to
humanity and herself than though
she had a different dress every day
and attended light opera every
night. A liberal education in every
way with a good deal of hard com
mon sense is what is needed BY the
practical man and woman of the
future. - Ex.
