Leo the Great, in the fifth century, was
the founder of medieval popedom. 1t was
said he laid the corner stone and Gregory
the Great erected the framework. 1t was
Leo who turned Attila from Rome. Four
years later, Genserlc took the city and gave
It over to pillage. Even this barbarian
listened to Leo and forbade the murder of
the citizens, the burning of the city and the
plumber of the three principal churches.
Gregory the Great, in the sixth century,
devoted himself to the conversion of the
Anglo-Saxons. He was attracted by fair
faced, golden-haired children among slaves
in the market-place- told they were
Angles, "Not Angles, but Angels" he said,
adding. eff the king of the Angles be Aella,

passed on, musing how the angel-faces

The popes had no temporal power till the
DAYS of Pepin. Charlemagne confirmed the
grants of his father and erected the holy
Roman empire. which was never shattered
till Napoleon changed the face of Europe
Charlemagne journeyed to Rome and was
crowned by Leo III. in old St. Peters on
Christmas day, 800.
The greatest among popes was Hide
brand, styled Gregory VII, who assumed
the tiara in 1913. He raised the papacy to
the highest pinnacle it every attained; rem
dered it independent of the imperial power,
which made it for ages the great bulwark
of order in Europe. He abolished lay-in-
vestiture and forbade the marriage of
priests, even compelled separation of those
who were married, to insure greater sancti-
ty, he claimed, yet the great prototype,
Peter, had a wife. With his feud with Hen
ry w, emperor of Germany, began that
quarrel between the secular and spiritual
dominions which reversed the positions of
pope and emperor and gave the papacy a
long and triumphant career of supreme dom
ination in Europe. Henry would not tamely
submit having his imperial power subject
to the papacy. The naughty, iron-willed
Hildebrand, from whose countenance every
one recoiled as from lightning, excommuni-
Gated him. To save himself from being de-
posed, Henry fastened to Canossa-for
three days in winter stood bare
footed before the door of the
pope. When admitted, he made the

TO our modes of living and the forced
condition of a young girls brain, the
pelvic organs and the brain take up too
much of the blood and other organs
are left without sufficient nourishment.
In this way girls become delicate and the
tissues are not sufficiently nourished.
Many mature woman traces back her
troubles and her bad health TO this early
period. Often the strain is too great and
for this reason proper precautions should
be taken. Perhaps the mother or daugh-

with their home physician on these
matters. II is then best to consult by
