Italian Flag Allowed.

In connection with the preparations
for this International competition Pope
Plus X settled another veXed question,
proving once again that great person.
ages of an encourage are usually more
royalist than the king. Since the fall
of Rome the Italian flag has been ta-
booed in thei vatican. When the ath-
letic games were being organized 1t
was decided that each association
should be headed by it's flag and
march past the pontiff. 1t was then
found that many Italian club flags
were merely the national cOlOrs with
some special distinctive design, and
that these associations absolutely re-
fused to take part without their flags.
They were so numerous and strong
that their detection would have meant
the failure Of the games. In this guam
Diary MOnsignorei Bisletti, the pope's
major domo, was approached, and he
replied emphatically: Il will never
permit the Italian flag in the vatican"
Then some bold spirits thought they
would appeal directly to Pope Plus X.
who at once said: II wonder at such a
question being raised. OF course. they
will come with their colors."
1t was suggested that they might be
furlei to make them less conspicuous.
mot at all,' exclaimed Plus x, impa-
tiently, "have them come, and hold
their colors high and proud before the
other nations. Are we to be ashamed
of being Italians?'

tnelr battles In the circus. ScipiO Afri-
canus found grave there and the
cinder path which has been installed
passes directly over the place where
his tomb rested until its removal to
make room for the circus of the third
Roman emperor. The vatican hill was
the last of the fourteen districts into
which Augustus divided the city, and
later the gardens Of Agrippina and
Domitian were situated there, near to
the circus of Calil1ula. However as the
power Of the empire waned, the out
lying districts of the vatican slope be-
came deserted, and for many years af-
ter the reign of Constantine, was
considered an abode Of evil spirits.
This state of affairs lasted until S4S,
when Leo " fortified the hill and con-
structed the Leonine city.
For a number of years. the fields
were used as fitting grounds, but to-
ward the end of the fifteenth century
We're acquired by Sixtus Nv and be-
came the gardens of the vatican pal
ace, situated at the summit of the
mount Pope Sixtus had them laid out
under his own supervision and his sue
cessors have made but little change
in them. They have been enlarged
some from time to time, and in 1S45
the grounds of the hospital of San
Spirite. an institution dating from be-
fore the time Of the original Leonine
wells, were included. Pope Plus TX
built the walls which now surround
the only territory belonging to the
popes, and in which the papal athletic
contest will take place. The athletic
field has been constructed in what was
formerly a large flower field, bur
which during the reign Of the late Pope
Leo was allowed to run wild. To the
right Of this large open space of fifteen
lcres is a large wood and on the LETT
the grounds slope down to the Tiber.
The field itself is quite level and re-
quired no great amount of work to put
it in shape for the games. A quarter
mile track has been installed and
stands have been erected to accommo-
date probably the most distinguished
throng of spectators that ever wit
messed an athletic tournament. The
whole college of cardinals will be pres
ent with thousands of archmishops,
bishops and clergy, besides the repre-
sentatives of all the governments OF
the world. The prizes to be given the
successful athletes will be in the form
of medals Besides these his holiness

THE Cattle Tick the Cause of tho
Quarantine
In writing ON this subject ] shall
deal with the conditions as they have
existed in this State during the last
ten or twelve years, as II has been
my pleasure and privilege to study
the relation between the cattle tick
and Texas fever (also tho quarantine
line through Virginia., constantly
since the winter Of 1896.
Owing to the fact that careful study
and investigations conducted by the
very best men that could be obtained,
revealed the fact that, beyond doubt,
the cattle tick was the cause of tho
disease among neat cattle (genus bo-
vine) known as Texas fever. the Bu-
reau of Animal Industry, Washington
ID, c., through system of inspection
assisted by the State authorities, un-
dertook to locate the exact territory
in the United States which was In
'fected by the cattle tick. After this
was done, the next step was to place
the territory thus infected In quarnn
tine, in order to prevent tho spread
of the said cattle tick,
or the 100 counties In Virginia. abou,
thirty-five of these We're found to BE-
infected--that Is to say that cattle
IN this number Of counties in our State
were found to be infected with the
cattle tick. The said counties were
principally those located In the south
ern and southeastern portion Of the
State
Thus, in the spring OF 1896, in order
to save the whole State from de-
struction by the cattle tick, and cspe-
cially to protect tho portion OF the
State which was not infected by the
cattle tick from quarantine, quaran-
tine line, known as the cattle quaran-
tine line" was established through the
State and located just north, east aud
west Of the territory infected by the
cattle tick, After having located the
tick first, which was then followed by
enclosing tho said pest within spe-
cial quarantine territory the next ster
was to, II possible, get rid OF the cat.

ern counties from the hardship of the

THE CATTLE QUARANTINE LINE

that the cattle tick was what caused
the disease hnown.to the cattle owners
in Southside Virginia as distcmper,
murrain, Texas fever, etc. the other
important fact had been established
that this cattle tick could be forever
destroyed-could be by u simple and
practical method eradicated from indi-
vidual farms. This being the case.
why could not this tick be eradicated
from the county? In fact, why not
from the State? While this was soon
plain to the individuals who had all
lowed themselves to stop and think
and who were ever willing to try to
eradicate the tick by carrying out the
directions or advice for one year on
their farms, yet there We're many who
would not assist In this work, but
would allow their cattle to remain on
the same infected fields from year to
Year, and say that the tick did no
harm, simply because their cattle did
not all die from Texas fever.
OF course, 1t Is plain enough with
our explanation, that cattle raised in
the ticky pastures often acquire an
immunity from the disease carried by
tho tick. Though when these parties
who had gone TO work and raised pure
bred cattle, and good ones too, wanted
to sell these good cattle to persons
above the line the quarantine prevented
this. Thus 1T was my privilege to toll
| them to get to work, and IL their
neghbors would not get rid of tho
cattle ticks, then to have the neighbors'
farm placed under special quarantine,
and get the county as whole out Of
quarantine, when they could then ship
their pure bred cattle to New York nr
anywhere above the line, Happy am l.
