tity of fallen walls and debris for the
purpose OF leveling the newly-marked
out streets upon the Esquiline, I'M
earthed a perfect treasure-trove Of scuIp-
ture. Among marble gods and god
desses, discovered in all stages OF frac-
turr, was Venus of the purest Parian
marble, which the London Times cor
respondent Gays is considered the gem
of the lot. The statue is perfectly
nude, ard is the figure OF lovely girl
of sevs nteen. She stands with both
feet upon The ground close together,

with the heel very slightiy raised. A

ROCHESTER,, N. L., Jan. IL, 1914.
R. V. PIERCE, NJ. D., Buffalo. N. Y:
Dear Sir had suffered from catarrh in an
aggravated form for about twelve years, and
for several years from bronchial trouble.
Tried many doctors and things with no lasting
benefit. In May, ~, becoming nearly worn
out with excessive editorial labors on a paper
in New York city, WAS attacked with bron-
chitis in a severe form, suffering almost total
loss of voice. 1 returned home, here, but had
been home only two weeks when I was COM

In the September following, improved sufi-
GENTLY to be able to be at out, though in a yery
feeble state. My bronchial trouble remained,
nnd the catarrh was tenfold worse than be-
fore. Every effort for relief seemed fruitless.

carefully, from which came to the conclusion
that you understood your business. at least.

In three months every vestige Of the catarrh

Cretan Lepe1.

= -
An English physician. who has been
visiting the islands of the Turkish arch
ipelago with view to studying the
cause and nature OF leprosy, reports
that In the Crete singular villages exist
where every being is leper, and where
the population is increasing. There is
no description made public of the ap
pearance of things in these villages, but
the view must be strange one. A vii
lage where every person-man, woman
and child-is prey to the most loath-
some diseases where there is marrying
and giving marriage, must be singular
as we'll as saddcning spectacle. That
such q condition of things should be,
that a government should allow such a
horrible disease to be perpetuated and
extended, is a sufficient commentary
upon the character OF the empire, and
perhaps a sufficient cause for interven-
ton by other nations, in tho interest OF
humanity. - -

The Southern Society Girl.

A Washington correspondent writes
to the Chicago Tribune "This life
of gayety does not seem to embarrass
southern women in the least. They are,
from their tenderest years, educated in
social calisthenics up to this point of
endurance. Southern children are
ofte. er in the parlor than inmates of
the nursery, and pass the hours which
should be cradle-rocked among the
evening guests, talking, eating, and
flirting with amusing grace and ma
turity. Their compilations suffer. as
does their health in the after years, and
the rush to cosmetics, to cover up de-
ficeacies in coloring, is as natural and
necessary as their use of quinine or
Misunderstanding medicines. But they
have the easy, elegant, unconsciously
graceful manners Of well-bred women
of the world, whom no exigency sur
prises, and who look upon the world as
hung with roses for their special pluck
ing. You never see southern society

WOman's Attractfyeness.

Personal attractions most girls pos
sess- at any late in sufficient degree
to render them attractive to somebody
for, although there are standards and
models OF beauty, yet these do not pre-
vail with all persons. There is some
thing wonderful in the difference of as
pect which the same face wears to Diff
ferent beholders. Probably the phil
osopbical explanation of this is, that
what is hidden to all others becomes
apparent to the eye of love.
Row can a moderately good looking
girl increase her attractions? By Gull
ture. She must cultivate her mind.
An ignorant and illiterateo woman, even
if she attract the attention, cannot re-
tain the interest of an intelligent man.
She must do this by reading, by study,
by reflection, and by familiar converse
ton with the best and most highly ed
ucated persons with whom she comes in
contact.
But the heart must be cultivated, as
we'll as the head. "Of all things"
exclaimed most elegant and refined gen.
tleman. after nearly lifetime's famil-
iarity with the best society,"" all
things, give softness and gentleness in
a woman" A harsh voice, q coarse
laugh-trifies like these have suddenly
spoiled many q favorable first impress
sion.
The cultivation of the heart must be
real, and not feigned. A woman WHO
studies to appear, rather than to be
good and generous, seldom succeeds in
deceiviDg the opposite sex in these re-
spects. Sac who in truth seeks earn
estly to promote the happiness Of those
around her, is very apt soon to obtain
admirers among men. No woman erer
otherwise 80 completely triumphs over
rival as when she is in good earnest
to prefer that rivals interest to- her
own.
Above all other requisites in a woman
is censcientiousness. Without this one
touchstone of character, no matter what
her charms and requirements, she can
not expect to command the lasting re-
gard of any man whose love is worth
having

English Literary HonOrs.

Queen Victoria has rendered Thomas
Carlyle the grand cross of the order of
bath, and Alfred Tennyson baronetcy.
Thus are two authors distinguished
solely for their literary attainments to
be rewarded for their triumphs by hon
ors that, as a royal recognition of liter
airy merit, are about as exquisitely ap-
propriate as the comforting of the degree
of doctor of laws upon General Grant
by Harvard college some years ago.
Plain Alfred Tennyson looks better in
it's sweet simplicity than it would were
it given n baronisl Significance, while
the idea of Thomas Carlyle wearing the
grand cross of bath seems as lu licrously
absurd as the knotting Of the equestrian
blue ribbon in the name OF the lion.

The -Spt culating Fever in San Fran

The San Franciao Chronicle says that
the Safeguarding fever in that city
has spread among the laboring or pro-
ducing classes of that city like q con-
tsgion. 1t approximates an epidemic,
and savings banks with few exceptions
have felt the effect. The women among
the pratrons of these institutions OF
trust are largely represented in the
class that have withdrawn their savings
for purposes of stock speculation. As
e rule, in this respect women are found
to be more reckless than men. They very
rarely leave balance on deposit after
the fever seizes them. 1t has been the
custom for depositors in savings banks
not to withdraw their balances during
the month just preceding in terest day,
bv permitting them to remain with the
banks their percentage on their savings
was increased. The effect of the stock
excitement first began to be appreciated
by the banks early in December. Then
depositors who could have no special
demand upon them for money pave for
speculative purpose, drew largely upon
their lite boards, and us the month ad-

from the rock. She didn't know exactly
whether to laugh or cry.
Tom considered the avisability of
replying, but came to the conclusion
that under the present unfavorable con-
ditions it was moro prudent to keep
quiet. His attempt at conversation had
not been happy. So, having at length
recovered his breath, he put his lirs
firmly together, and pursued his way,
with a some what mournful expression
of counte nance, toward a small rock, a
short distance above the larger one,
which he thought would make good
landing place.
"iH go down and help him up"
said Miss Van Kortland to herself, and
descending the bank, reached the rock

Tom ignored the vinaisrette entirely,
but taking hold of the fair, shapely
hand, he laid his cheek against 1t for an
instant, and then kissed it softly.
"Dearie, do you know that love
you," he said presently, with slight
laugh.
The girl was silent, but he could feel
