Tlip lust flicker of Ilft expired It four minutes past 4 o'clock yester Say afternoon, and the pontiff now lies It rest. The period of over two weeks that Pope Leo passed In the shadow of lentil was no less wonderful thnn his life. II W Rplcndld battle against dls faso was watched the world over with lyiuputliPtlc admiration and ended only rorE leo xiii. after a series of tremendous efforts to onquer the weakness of his aged ;tme by the marvelous will power of .I tulnd. The pleuro pneumonia with which Us holiness had been suffering was -nrcely so responsible for his death as Lliat inevitable decay of tissue which ensues upon ninety-three years of life. The tested steel which had bent so of ten before human ills was bound to break at last. The emaciated and life less frame which held so brave a spirit lies on the bed In the Vatican beside which almost all the world has prayed. Today the sacred college of cardinals will assemble for the Impressive cere mony of officially pronouncing l'ope Leo dead. After this sad function has been performed the body will be taken to the small throne room adjoining the South chamber, where It will be em balmed. Tope Leo's final moments were mark ed by that same serenity and devotion ind, when he was conscious, that calm Intelligence which Is associated with bis twenty-flve years' pontificate. His wat no easy death. An hour before he ! fllud, turning to Dr. Lapponl and bis de moted valet, Plo Centra, he murmured. "The pain I suffer Is most terrible." Tot his parting words were not of the physical at gulsh that he suffered, but were whispered benedictions upon the cardinals and his nephews, who knelt at the bedside, and the last look of bis almost sightless eyes was toward the great Ivory crucifix hanging In the flrfltb chamber. ' I The programme for the "novera dialog," the nine days' ceremony, as far as established, but still open to possible chunge. Is as follows: This morning the second meeting of the con gregation of cardinals will occur to dis cuss measures relating to the conclave. The diplomatic body, the Roman aris tocracy and the high dignitaries of the church will have an opportunity to tako a last view of the late pontiff be fore ho is laid in St. Peter's. The body will be arrayed in full pontifical robes, and the remains will be transported to the basilica of St. Peter's, where they will be taken charge of by the chapter of the basilica and deposited In the chiipel of the Sacrament. Tomorrow the whole people of Home will be al lowed to view the body of tho pontiff, while requiem masses will be celebrut ed Id tho different chapels. Tho con gregation will meet on Friday and Sat urday. . Saturday night the body of the pope will be sprinkled with holy water by the chapter of St. Peter's. It will then be taken at the bead of a proces sion around the basilica and entombed to the strains of the "Miserere," In toned by singers of the Julia chapel. The Vatican authorities are very much pleased with the messages of condolence received from United States Secretary of State Hay. They feel a special gratification over messages from Protestant countries or these hav ing no representative of the holy see.

If farmers wish to prevent their hay stacks or barns from firing they need only to scatter a few handfuls of common salt between the layers. The theory is that the salt by absorbing the humidity of the hay not only prevents its fermentation and consequently heating, but it also adds a salty taste to this forage which all cattle like, and besides it stimulates the appetite and assists their digestion and so preserves them from many diseases.

A la?y liver may he only n tire.l liver, or a starved liver, A stick is nil right for the back of a Inzy man. lint it wuukl he a savage as well as a stupid thing to heat a weary man or a starving man because he lagged in his work. So in treating the laKe'.'K liver it is a grout mistake to lash it wiih drastic drugs. In ninety-nine cases out of a hundred a torpid or sluggish liver is but a symptom of an ill-nourished body, whose organs are weary with overwork. i,e. your liver alone.
