BAD NEWS FROM THE VATICAN.
New Haven Register,

CHew Haven Register.)
It seems incredible that Eslightly
over a decade of service as temporal
head Of the church should have so
broken the health of such a. robust
man as was Pope Plus x when he as
sumed office. But his somewhat adj
vanced years, mis- necessary manner of
living and the strain of his high office
have combined, it Is apparent, to
break his stamina. Though he has a
good constitution on which to rely,
and though all hope for the best, the
nature of the news from the Vatican
is such as to cause the greatest de-
preston.
Nowhere is there greater grief at
this than in America. All fair men.
no matter what their sect, have
watched with approval the course of
Pope Plus, and recognized his breadth
of mind, especially his friendliness
toward this country. His sympathies
and his religion have been truly cath
Ole in the larger sense and he has
conducted his high office with q mas
ter1y ability, sublime charity and dis
tinguished tact Because of what he
has been, what he is and what he may
be, it is permissible to hope even
against hope that the bad news will be
presently turned to good news, and
the Pope have renewed lease of life
and useful service.

The career of man who devoted
his entire life to the study of mathe-
MATES and the solution of abstruse
isoperimetrica1 problems would not
seem to offer much of what the sob

interest,"" and yet the biography of
Joseph Louis Lagrange, the great
French geo1n etrician, who died just a
century ago to-day, contains sufficient
material for several fu11-page Sunday

parents, he early manifested his
mathematical genius, and at the age
Of nineteen was appointed professor
Of geometry in the royal school of his
native city. Before he had attained
his thirtieth year he had won two
prizes for original work from the
French Academy, and at thirty went
to Berlin as the protege of Frederick
the Great. That eminent patron of
science, letters and are showered dis
tinctions upon Lagrange, and for
twenty years the geon etrician basked
in the sunshine of royal favor, spend
ing much of the time in the compost
ton of his masterpiece, 'Mechanfque
Analytique." When Frederick was
called upon to pay the debt of human
kind, Lagrange became a prize for
which many royal courts competed.
Naples, Sardinia, Tuscany and France
made liberal offers. He chose the
land of his fathers and was we1com-
ed to France by Queen Marie Antoin-

treat the savant with even greater
confederation than he had received at
the court of the Prussian monarch.
When the revolution famed out in
France, and the heads of all support

heap at the foot of the gutlIotine, La
grange was spared, and not only that,

My readers must remember that
beauty preparations are merely aids
and they do not reach the fundamen-
tai basis of beauty. The main culture
of beauty should depend upon nat
ural aids for improving circulation
and condition of the blood, through
proper exercise and through whole
some foods and habits of living. How
ever, it is no longer considered vulgar
to aid nature when the good old lady
withho1ds some of her gifts, though
good form does not permit that such
tiny articles be noticeable.
