I'LL; theTfamous KrenI n, Moscow; the
Doge's Palace, Venice, are of the four
teenth century. The, Seraglio, STAN
boul, WAS built by Mahomet IL Next,
the Oldest part of the Vatican COM
menced by Borgia, whose name it bears.
Then the old Louvre. commenced in the
reign of Henry VIII; the Tuileries in
that of Elizabeth: The Spanish Escor-
ial belongs to the seventeenth century,
while such palaces as those of Athens.
Cairo, and the Persian Teheran, are all
of them of quite modern date, SO that it
is no idle boast, the boar antiquity of
the London Tower Palace. Then,
again, as to the "prisons, none of
them, with the single exception of st.
Angelo, Rome, can compare with the
Tower Prison. The never-to- be-forgot-
ten Bastille, of which, by the way,
there are some curious records on pa
per, is a thing of the past, as all know.
The Bargello is museum. The Piom-
bi, of poetic fame, are removed from
beneath the Doge's roof. Vincennes,
Spandau, Spilberg, Magdeburg, are all
modern compared with it. Again, we
wish we could see this old Tower of
London and compare things.

ACES Of Buildings.

the series of apartments in Caesars

A German Lady's Visit to the Pope.

The Rbeinishe Courier gives the fol-
lowing account of a visit by a German
lacy to the Pope:
cat the hour fixed for the audience,
We repaired to the Vatican in our best
clothes, and after we had waited pretty
long in company with about two hun
drei persons, the Holy Father at length
appeared in white robes and red slippers,
surrounded by number of high church
dignitaries. All fell upon their knees.
50 did we. He at once began his jour-
nee, and spoke vivaciOusly with every
one. As he approached us [ heard him
make joke, but he passed on without
speaking to us. Incredible as it may
appear, an English clergyman and
his wife, who were standing in front of
us, handed his holiness the photographs
of their children that he might bless
them, which seemed to give his holiness
great pleasure, whereupOn he looked at
the company, evidently well pleased,
and exclaimed, T5gttH IngleSj. When
he had finished his round, he took up
his position in the middle of the salon
and made speech in French, in which
he thanked us for coming in such great
numbers, especially those who had come
from France. He said he knew indeed
a pope s always an interesting object,
sbuC those he added-and here he
pointed especially to some among US
do not belong to any family. 1 am an
old man, but not a broken reed; my
position is strong, for I have right on
my side.' The whole speech seemed to
particularly directed to the Germans,
and as / learned later the POpe's irrita-
ton had been caused by the fact that on
his entrance few Germans had thought
fit to remain seated with crossed legs
While speaking, the Pope leaned upon
his stick, but otherwise he appeared
quite strong, and his voice particularly
is still powerful. The splendor of his
former days has been chiefly furnished
by the loss of his black, red and yellow
body-guard, who, with their halberds,
produced a not anfavorable and antique
appearance; but now, unfortunately,
the chamberlaiDs no longer wear the
Spanish dress, but civilian uniform.
Even the Swiss guards can wear their
uniform only inside the Vatican. Out
side they are looked upon as enemies"

THROUGH ALL THE AGES of study and
investigation which bave marked the
path of scientific discovery, one es-
pecially alluring object has tempted
the inquiries and speculations of philOs-
ophers. 1t is what the wizards and
witches of olden time, the iugglers of
India, soothsayers of Arabia, Magi of
Egypt, necromancers of Turkey and the
Orient, and alchemists of civilized Ed
rope have sought but sought in vain
vegetable nOn-poisonous Elixir, which,
by cleansing the blood, removing from
the system all impurities, strengthening
the nerves, the muscles, and the brain,
aud vitalizing every fibre of the system,
should bid defiance to the corroding
hand of disease.

DURING IA SANITARY survey recently in
Lincolnshire man was found, aged 50,
who had been in the habit of drinking a
gallon of beer before breakfast, another
during the day, and few extra pints at
night to stop off with, and who has
never been i'll day in his life. To cap
this, the experier ce of William Lewis,
who died while drinking d cup of ale in
1893, is still more remarkable. He read
eight chapters of the Bible each day,
and drank eight gallons of ale during
the night. He weighed forty stone, and
was lowered into his grave by the crane
which lifted him to his carriage.

INGENUITY OF FoxEs.-Foxes are
much tOrmented with feas, and when
the infiction becomes severe, they
gather, from the bark of trees, moss,
which they carry in their mouths to the
side of a stream where the water deep
ems by degrees. There they enter the
water, still carrying the moss in their
mouths, and going backwards, begin
ing from the end of their tail, they
advance by slow degrees, till the whole
body of the animal, with the exception
of the mouth, is entirely immersed.
The feas, during this proceeding, have
rushed successfully in rapid haste to
the dry parts, and finally to the moss !;
and the fox, when lie has, according to
his calculation, allowed sufficient time
for all the feas to take their departure,
quietly opens his mouth. The floating
moss, with its interesting freight, is
carried away by the stream, and the
animal finds its way back to the bank,
with an evident feeling of much self
satisfaction at having thus freed him
self from his tormentors.

A Partisan Stocking Mania.

The fancy feminine trotters on the
Paris boulevards have got 0tit new
stock of stockings, entirely different
from anything of the kind up to our
days. All in the color. They are now
of all shades, from white cream to black,
through straw yellow to lemon, which
latter passes for charming; but the
charmef of all Is black, the great novelty
and the most varied in designs. One
might suppose blonde hair, fair COM
plexion, white dress and black stockings
would in reality be q little in baC taste.
Not for Paris women. The undecided
shades, looking so sof and insipid, hare
also a great run in the stocking line.
Well, now, follow the mode we'll and
you will see that all these colored stock
ings are moi tC be owned by themselves,

stockings without concealing them, bot
