There is something almost pethe- tle as wolf as noble in the picture presented to us of the supremo auto- crat of millions, sand the owner of wealth so great that novo have ven- tured to compute it, sitting down in solitary splendor to a meal which a shilling would more than pay for. Indeed, what strikes ono most in Loo XIII., more than in almost any of his predecessors, is the startling contrast between tho Spartan sim- plicity of the man and the power and splendor of the onice he 'holds, Never did any man surely carry to so lofty an eminence such simple tastes and such modest and unaf- fected manners; never was homely figure placed in so gorgeous a set- ting. A story which typifies the two dominant characteristics of the Popo, his homeliness and his humor, is as follows; Ono day when he was bo - set by pilgrims begging for some memorial of him, something which his hands had touched, an old lady said to ]lith, "holy Father, give mo one of your stockings; it will cure my bad leg.f' "With pleasure, mad- am," the Pontiff replied, "but I may as well tell you it has never cured mine:" it is this frank naturalness and this sense of humor which have 'enabled Leo XIII. to carry so heavy a burden so lightly and to such an •extreme old age. Even now that he has long left his .ninetieth milestone behind him, this most wonderful of living old men leads a life that might well put to shame- mien of half his years. Six o'clock in the morning' rarely finds him abed, and an hour later he is celebrating mass in his private chapel. Not until eight o'clock does he dream of breaking his fast, and then he sits clown to a repast which many an office boy would despise — a meal (If meal it can be called) of coffeed n ilk a mi anda few of ITIS FAVORITE BISCUITS. Then he commences his real clay's work, reading the countless letters that reach him from every corner of the world, examining documents of all kinds, tackling grave problems of policy, and framing those wonderful "encycliques" of his. After three hours of such mental toil he enters on a more active phase of his daily task; receives in audience his Secre- taries of State, ambassadors, and seeretaries of congregations, hears their reports, and gives decisions and counsel with the clearness of head and quick grasp of a young man. Tho only food he indulges in for this exhausting work is a single cup of light broth taken at 11 o'clock, three , hours after his' vary slight breakfast. At two o'clock, after six hours of unbrolcen labor, ho sits down to the principal meal of the day, which never varies in nature. It consists of a slice of boiled meat, a simple toast dish, vegetables, and a little fruit, with an occasional glass of Bordeaux, of which a lib- eral supply is always provided by the arehbishop of that city. It is ono of the penalties of his exalted station that, though by na- ture a most sod -table, convivial man, ho must always eat alone when in the Vatican; and his simple 'meals have none of the flavor of wit and conversation which no ono could en- joy or contribute better than him- self. Itt summer time the Pope loves to eat his luncheon in a favorite summer house, a plain wooclon struc- ture in the Vatican gardens, and at its conclusion to walk for a time in the grounds, watching the garden- ers at work and gossiping with them in friendly fashion or noting the growth of his oranges, of which ho is so proud. HE HAS ITIS ANIMAL PETS, which he loves to feed, notably a beautiful gazelle, the present of one of his cardinals, which runs up to greet his master when he walks in the garden and takes food from his hands. When ho was younger Leo XIII., who in his early days was a keen and noted sportsman, would amuse himself by catching birds In a not - trap, but thio pastime has long ceas- ed to attract him. At six o'clock the Pope returns to his apartments to give private au- diences to bishops and any,mon of Mote who may be staying in Rome, These private audiences, marked as they are by a charming informality and grace of reception, aro much coveted by many of the world's greatest men, as a rnarlt of special u'granted to few, favor; but they y aro , and not by any means always to those who think they havo the great- est right to expect thein. At night o'clock in winter and nine o'clock in summer the Popo retires to his private apartments, and after reciting the Roasary with his pri- vate secretary and ono of his bowie-- 'hold louse'hold priests partakes of the last meal of the day, This, again, like its predecessors, is the plainest of repasts, consisting of an egg, Vege- tables, and a little .fruit. After this final meal Ito spends the interval be- fore bedtime in playing chess or in conversation with one of his were• tarlos or cardinals, and punctually at 11 o'clock retires to rest. Even SOW the active brain will not "al- ways allow him to sloop, and many a night he spends hours in pacing hie bedroom, reading or .musing. Twice a Week in winter the Popo receives in public audience any who wish to see bite, whatever their na- tionality or creed may be, chatting freely and kindly to each, and charm- ing all by his sweet and unaffected manner, Such in brief outline is the simple, industrious, gracious life of a man IvhoIn the world, regardless of differ- ences of creed, unites to admire, -- London Tit -hits, Wife "it woman's work is bevel' done."

The aborigines of the Malabar Is- lands employ a perfect whistling lan- guage by means of which they can communicate with each other over long distances. A stranger wander- ing over the islands is frequently surprised to hear from a hill top the sound of loud whistling, which is quickly repeated on the next hill, and so is carried from summit to summit, until' it dies away in the distance. But perhaps the most curious means of communication in the world is the drum -language of a Congo tribe, These queer people can talk to each other with largo drums made of bamboo hoops, over which the skin of some animal is stretch- ed. Tho drum, however, is used on- ly on important occasions. TAKE A MOTI'TER'S WORD.

They are the best medicine for children I have ever used." You can take the words of these mothers with every confidence, and you have a 'positive. guarantee that the Tablets contain no opiate or harmful drug. No other medicine gives asimilar guarantee.

A foto weeks ago there appeared in these columns an article relating to the l'oetlan•d cement industry Canada, That article was reprinted from the Teterboro Examiner, where- in it appeared as a letter to the editor of that paper, and Was not signed by the writer's proper name. It now tr•ansph'es that there were many misleading statements in the article referred to as would appear from the following which is . clipped from the Monetary Tinges "Tho writer evidently had not the courage to sign his name, and cer- tainly could not be -prompted by his interest in the investing pufelic, but is apparently interested in the cement business ; and seeks to mise lead the public by a -statement of outruns and malicious references to well F•nown business .nen, who aro connected with the content industry at Durham, Ont.

Mother of the Girl Tells the Story in Full. Terrible Struggle With Most Deadly of .Kid- ney Diseases. Step by Step the Monster was Driven Back Till Medical Science Triumphed. From Mail and Empire, Shubenacadie, Ilants Co„ N.S„ Fob. 6.—(Special)—This little town, which has been brought out of obscurity and thrust into the broad glare of public notice by the almost miraculous cpro of a young girl of Bright's Disease, takes its now - found fame with a sort of mild sur- prise. All the village knows Alice Mated Parker, all thought. that a few months ago she was sick beyond tho hope of recovery, that Bright's Disease had her in its clutches, and ^once that monster had fastened on a victim the only relcaso was death; and all know that to -day she is a comely maiden of fifteen, with health beaming from every feature and speaking itt hor every movement, And all havo heard time and -again that this remarkable change was brought about by that old reliable Oanadian remedy, Dodd's ICidney Pills. Yet it is with something like surprise that they hear . the noise the euro has made in the outsido world. The thing that has come as a revelation to the world has cone; on them day by day, 00 gradually that they [art to grasp its mitgnl tude, BEYOND ALL DOUBT. But as to the cure itself. Of that there is no possible doubt, The facts are all easily obtained and can bo sworn to, not only by the Parker fancily, but by a 'hundred other people who watched tho girl gradually sinking into the grave, and saw her snatched from its very mouth. I0 was Mrs, T. G. Parker that your correspondent., found at home when ho celled. rigs. Parker is a bright, intelligent woman, ono whose bravo and honest face tells that Oho could act quieltiy fit' an emer- gency, and whose every word and action show hor honesty of purpose.

Asked to begin at the be- ginning, and tell the complete story of the case, she complied. willingly, for she felt, she said, that all the world should .know -,how her daupit- ter escaped from the supposedly fatal Bright's Disease, and that she owed her escape to Dodd's kidney Pills," and to no other agency. T1131 MOTHER'S STORY. "Alice," Mrs, Parker began, "was always a delicate child from her. birth. When she was twelve years old 'sic was not any larger than an ordinary child would be at eight years old. But like many delicate children, Alice pulled along as deli- cate children will, till .July, 1900. She was then thirteen years old. Om July 7th she was taken serious- ly ill. Her eyelids swelled till she could hardly see, her legs swelled from. her ankles to hor knees. I took her to a doctor, and ho said she had Bright's Disease, and could not live long. The doctor tended her for about six weeks, but as she grew worse, I stopped the doctor and tried different kinds of patent medicines, But all the time she Just got worse and worse. Her suf- ferings had by this time become so great that I again turned to the doctors. This time I tried another ono: - He had no hesitation in .'pro- nouncing her disease Bright's Drs- ease of the worst kind, BELT MEASURED 48 INCISES. "By this time Alice was in a ter- rible state.

Tho doctor, who was a very nice man, said he could not do anything. It looked" as if all that was left for my daugh- ter was to go on suffering till death came to her relief, "She was in this terra 1 h e state when site chanced to read some tes- timonials es to what Dodd's Kid- ney Pills haddone for others, She showed them to nte, and I grasped at this last chance to help hm', as a drowning elan grasps at a straw. 'IOW THE CU1UI BEGAN.

Again we feared for her life, and again the doctor Wared me that aloe might die at alty moment, But my faith in Dodd's Kidney Pills had grown, and all through that long winter she took them regularly, and under the treatment continued to gain in strength till by April her back was Well, and the swelling had all left her, though her urine when tested was milkey 'and at Limas it would curdle.

This is the story of the fant.ous Bright's Disease cure, as told by the mother of the sufferer herselt, There can be no doubt as to the truth of the story,. S001es of people corro- borate it.
