LETTER FROM iTALI.
FLORENCE, June

FLORENCE, June 2ou, 1915.
10 The Editor of the Journal
This is indeed beautiful city, in name,
and in almost everything else. 1t is the IA
vorite winter residence of Americans, as its
and there is an entire absence of the malaria
which renders Rome so unhealthy at certain
seasons. The city has smart, modern 10 TX,
owing to its many wide streets and fine resi-
dences and palaces which have been restored
or rather modernized outside, giving the
whole city and surroundings live appear
ance. Were it not for the language spoken
here we should almost feel as though we were
! at home. for the habits and customs of the peo-
pie are much less strange than one would ex-
pect, and you see many English and Ameri-
can families with ine horses and carriages Of
London and New York style We have even
seen a regular American buggy here, thing
which we had not before caught sight of since
leaving New York. Among other fine resi-
dences is that of Madame Ristori, the great
tragedian, upon the banks ofthe classic Arno.
The city is surrounded by many beautiful
villas, that of King Victor Emanuel being the
most conspicuous The capital of Italy was
here until the occupation of Rome when it
was transferred there much to the disgust of
the Florenteens who affect considerable con-
tempt for that ancient seat of power, having
| their local jealousies and yanties just as some
of our great and growing cities have. The
place dates a good ways back before our day,
but how many hundred years before the
Christian era we will not attempt to tell. A
thousand years are as one day here in Italy,
and hencetor,h we shall have a supreme con-
tempt for anything which assumes superior
age in our country. Yesterday We visited
| some of the principal places of interest here,
among them the cathedral Of San Michele,
which dates back COO years, and has the
patriarch dome of Europe, $50 feet high. from
which Michael Angelo got his ideas for the
design OF the more celebrated dome of St.
Peters AT Rome, erected 900 years later.
This il a splendid editice, built of marble,
and though it was commenced In 1884 II has
not vet been completed. What the cost fthe
building, or any of these old churches was,
can by no possible means be estimated, for in
those ancient times religious zeal and priestly
power went hand in hand, and the people
worked for either the love of II or for the
smallest pttance which would keep them
selves and families from nakedness and star
walton. What would an American think if lie
was compelled to work from early morn to
dewy eve for ten cents, the maximum wages
OF mechanic in those good old times! We
also visited the great church of San Croce,
commenced in 1894 and only finished in 1857
The outside of black and white marble is Of |
magnificent appearance The interior is |
grand simplicity. Far above your head are
the wooden rafters and cross beams which |
were placed there between four and six humid

Mr. JAMES l. FELLows-Sir: l am
pleased to inform You that my health is i'm
proving under the use ofyour Hypophosphites.
Excessive tax of the brain had so exhausted
my body that could neither work nor enjoy
myself, and it was with difficulty that could
sleep at all. tried rest, and active exercise,
various medicinal remedies, and the most
popular physicians, and accidentally heard of
your Syrup in New York. I purchased three
bottles at Caswell & Hazards, and until used
that nothing relieved me. Now can eat well,
sleep well, and work well and feel, we'll, and
have good reason to consider your Syrup q
most surprising and capital restorer of the
mind and nervous system, aud advise all who
have much brain work to take it, You are
at liberty to use this as you may.
Yours very truly,

ROME, June 24:h.

NOME. june Zfsn.
Since writing the foregoing, We have passed
over the classic ground between beautiful
Florence and Rome, which, at the time when
to be Roman it was considered greater than
to be King, was boastingy called the Eter-
nal City; but now, after the lapse of twenty
centuries, the Wanted power of Rome is a
thing Of the past, and nothing is left of her
former mightiness but heaps of rubbish which
clog her streets, and broken columns, while
the present city is literally built upon her
dust-the broken skeletons of her once proud
structures alone remaining as monuments
which the ruthless hand of time is slowly but
none the less surely tearing down. The hand
of man may for a time keep these tombs of
the departed city from dissertation and obliv-
ion, but oblivion will certainly come upon
them. To see Rome as Rome should be seen
requires the labor of months, yea years, and
in the hasty glimpse which we shall be COM
PEELED to give it, we shall not attempt to do
more than note some of the thoughts which
pass through our minds as we me ander among
the Wondering ruins of the ancient city.
Rogers says:
"Of all the faIrest cities of the earth,
None is 50 fair as Florence. IT'S gem
OF purest ray; and what light broke forth
When it emerged from darkness! Search within,
Without; all is enchantment! lis the Past
Contending with the Present; and in turn
Each has the mastery"
As much cannot be said Of Rome, for GER
tainly here the Past has the upper hands of
the present every time. Let the modern
struggle as valantly with the ancient giant
as he may, he must ever lose the battle. for
the very elements have all combined against
MIN, and Rome's mission seems but TO do the
