where the Apostle Peter Died.

Professor Msrucchi, the distinguished
Archaeological, who this year showed al
most conclusively that the death Of St.
Peter took place in or near the Vatican
In Rome and the great church that bears
bs nsme, and not, as later tradiction
affirmed ON the Jsniculum, where the
church San Pietro, in Montorio, stands,
be, given lecture, in the crypt of st.
Peters the unquestionsble site where the
sarcophagus Of the great apostle is still to
be found.
The professor pointed out that the
present bilica stands on the very spot on
which once stood the great villa ofNero.
Many pagan tombs have been found
there, proving that the grounds Of tho
vills contained brrying place for the
use of Caesars household. 1t Peter
we're martyred there with the other
Christians who persisted in the persecut-
ion of Nero it would be extremely prob
able that he would be inferred in the
tomb of one OF Caesars servants, since
the Epistle to the Philippians proves
that Christians were to be found in the
household Of the emperor.

BAD Cooking leads to Tuberculosis.

Taking about tuberculosis to the
Woman's Municipal League ia Ne"
York Thursday DR.. J. b. Huber traced a
large part of the disease back through
alcoholism 10 bal cooking.
"Among men," said Huber, "hsli
the cases OF tuberculosis are the result Of
alcoholism. And about tbs causes OF
alcoholism, have ideas different from
those commonly entertained, perhaps.
A man is not necessarily vicious because

and found long line OF men waiting to
to get their drinks. thought il strange
that so many men should be so anxious
to drink before breakfast that they hSd
to wait their turn to be served. Since
then | have had opportunities 10 make
many similar observations, and nov
see that it is not strange that these men
should want to drink. The cooking ir
their homes 10 30 vile that these poor,
uretched fellows have to drink. They
are so exhausted with the battle Of life
that they have to do something, how.
ever foolish, however mistaken, to keep
up their bodies for fresh exertion. Thus
they create predisposition to tubercu-
losis. Most consumptives are very poor,
and if women OF leisure would teach
their porrer sisters 10 cook they would
be doing much TO prevent tuberculosis. ,
Dr. Huber also spoke OF the "dread-
fol cooking" OF the rural districts As q
cause of tuberculosis there, although
other conditions are unfayorable 10 the
development of the disease.

This church stands on the site Of the

ed. 1t was built in 1891 by monks OF

Father Ryan. Archbishop Quigley, Of
Chicago, will say mass in the church on

The country people were so convinced OF
the poisonous nature of the tuber that
they would not give IL u trial. It's friends
were actually mobbed for trying to In

people. The story goes in two ways.
One OF these tells Us that King. LOUIS

table until they became popular with the
aristocratic classes
Another story recounts how a celebrat-
