A copy of Pope Leo's dying prayer. written by himself and included In volume, of verses presented py htm to each of the cardinals of the Sacred college on the occasion of his recent jubilee. Leo, now sets thy sun: Pale is Its dy ing ray: . Black night succeeds thy day. Black night for thee: Wasted thy frame: Life's blood sustains No more thy shrunken veins. Zteath casts his fatal dart: Robed for the grave thy bones Lie under thecold stones. But my freed soul escapes her chalraT and longs in flight To reach the reajjwfof light That lsh goal ehe seeks: Thither her Journey fares: Grant, Lord, my anxious prayers. That with the cittaen of heaven. God's face and light. May ever thrill my sight. That I may see thy face. Heaven's uneen, whose mother love Has brought roe home above To Thee, saved through the tangles of perilous way, I lift my grateful lay. THE MOST POPULAR BOOK. , fnder the capttion "Still the Book of Books' the Boston Transcript has these cuggestlva words: The extraordinary change of belief as regards the origin and sanctity of the Bible, which has marked the re ligious thinking of the past 10 years, does not in the least interfere with its sales, but has rather Increased them. This !s very obvious. If one con sults the statements of the various Bible societies. The two largest so cetles In America and England put out last year nearly ten million copies. It is a remarkable thing that no concern engaged in printing this book has fail ed, though there was some agitation a few years ago to form a Bible trust The prices have been declining for years, and the cost of manufacturing has in some particulars advanced. The output of the Oxford press is 20,009 a Veek. This edition is always in great demand. Forty Thousand sheets of gold are used in lettering the copies, and the skin of -100,000 animals for binding are used every year. A current circulation of $30, bar ring a t Iny fraction, for every man, wo man and child in the commonwealth is probably the best showing ever made by any nation the price of a cow or a sprng overcoat for everybody Its distribution is a trine irregular, but that is like the sea's level, always in a state of disturbance and rectification. Those who haven't got their share of the $30 are not forbidden to hustle for it and those who have more the get rich quick concerns stand ready to re dress with neatness and dispatch when ever they are so minded. . Here's to the kicker, the faint heart ed kicker, the kicker so helpless and blue: who always is crying and never Is trying some goodfor his town to do. jviAirrnain ioo:fijgg Never corrodes, never sweiti nor expands ; !n fact never gives any trouble of sny kind tnd is used for til classes of work.

Ks. V It Is estimated that the aggregate of the gifts made to unlversltea, church es and various charities In this coun try last year will amount to at teast 150.000.009. Thus the wealth of our cit teens Is being transmitted Into ben efits that are of value beyond estimate. Texas may be losing her oil wells. but she'll not "go broke" entirely.

A New Jersyy court hasdctded that palmistry Is "a er2fty''svlence intend ed to decei the simple-minded." Perhaps' that court thinks It has made a discovery.
