POPE RECEIVES BISHOP M'DON-
NELL.
ROME, May 20.-—-—I"opu Pius loony
received in private audit-nee the Right
Rev. Charles E. McDonnell. bishop ol
Brooklyn, who afterwards introduced
to the pontiff over a hundred American
pilgrims, most of whom left New York
with the bishop on April 30..
Bishop McDonnell said he came per-
sonally to Rome to express to his hoi-
iness the feeling of affection of his diu-
oeso on the occasion of the papal I'll!-
ilee. and presented a substantial offer-
ing of Peter‘s Pence. The pope warm-
ly thanked Bishop McDonnell. and be-
stowed on the pilgrims his apostolic
benediction. The pope made his tid-
drcss in the italinn language. and ex-
pressed his gratitude that his Ameri-
can visitors had come so far to see
him. Ills remarks were translated in-
to English by Monsignor Kennedy, rec-
tor of the American College.
APPLES AND INBOMNIA.
A medical writer declares that the
apple is such a common fruit that very
few persons become familiar with its
medicinal properties. The best thing
just before going to bed. he. says, is
to eat an apple. "Persons uninitiated
in the mysteries of the fruit." be con
tinucs, “are likely to throw up their
hands in horror at the visions ofdys-
pepsin. which such a suggestion may
summon up. but no linnu can come
even to a delicate system by the cat-
ing of a ripe and juicy apple. before
going to bed. The apple is excellent
brain food. because it has more phos-
phoric acid in easily digested shape
than any other fruit. lt excites the
action of the liver. promotes sound and
healthy sleep and thoroughly disill-
iects the. mouth. This is not all: the
apple prevents indigestion utid throat
