Though far from being a robust man Cardinal Gibbons Is a great walk er. Not only Is he known as sack la his home city of Baltimore, but he has acquired that reputation among his fel low prelates at Rome. The cardinals aad archblships there with whom he has made friends say laughingly that to start out oa a morning's walk with their American brother Is like doing a severe stunt of penance. The cardi nal is too delicate In frame and health to make anything of a show as a pul pit orator. Knowing his physical limi tations, he is very retiring in manner, aad when he does appear before a congregation he is quiet and unassum ing la his delivery, not trying to be impressive. He wisely husbands all his strength for his administrative labors. HIS LABORS AT AN END. jgssopjir.mGMr Bishop J. H.

The method of application is to enclose the radium in a small India rubber capsule with a mica window or la a sman glass tube. The radium la used most conveniently in the form of the bromide, and should be of good qual ity. The small tube coataialag the sale must be placed directly in con tact with the ulceratlag aarface.

They make the offer, foUowiag the formatloa of aa Algerian league for the preveatioa of malaria, which proposes to begia aa active fight against mosquitoes and ask grants of public moneys for the purpose. Ia face of the large aumber of facts collected daring the past two or three years, confirming the mosquito theory, the skepticism of the two French doctors is some what difficult to account for. except through lack of access to receat medi cal literature.
