A Marvel of Engineering.

a work equal in difficulty and magnitude
to the projected draining of the Zuyder Zee
has been accomplished in Italy, only some
auxiliary operations. of minor consequence
still awaiting completion. We refer to the
draining of the Fucine lake, executed by the
Prince Torlonla, an undertaking which has
exacted the labor Of twenty-five years and
an outlay of ten million dollars. BY this
achievement forty thousand acres of rich
land have been opened to tillage, and a
scheme which had vainly taxed the resour.
ces of the ancient Roman empire translated
into fact.
The Fucine lake, and the mountain-locked
basin of which until lately it engrossed the
larger part, is better known to the student
than to the traveller. The region is singu-
larly difficult of access, lying as it does in
the exact heart of the Italian peninsula and
embedded in the Appenine chain. No mod
ern railway has replaced the Valerian road
which traversed the district eighteen centu-
ries ago. When this great highway was
built across the mountains by Cladius CB-
safi lue euge oi lne lake was dotted with
thriving towns, and its fruitful slopes form
ed one of the granaries of Rome. 1t was in
the reign of the same Emperor that the de-
sign OF sluicing off the waters of the Fucine
cistern was adopted, and the notorious freed
man, Narcissus, was charged with the con-
duct of the enterprise. Inasmuch as the
main outlines of the plan conceived and
brought to the verge of fulfllment by the
Roman engineers have been followed in the
modern works it may be well to mark the
physical conditions of the problem.
The Fucine lake was vast reservoir, re-
plenished by the rainfall and number O
mountain streams, but without any natura
outlet. Evacuation, therefore, by dredginl
and deepening an existing channel wa
plainly out of the question. Some thre
miles, however, 10 the northwest runs tn
river Liri, at an attitude much lower thai
that of the basin. 1t is true that the higl
mountain of salviano rears its bulk be
tween the river and the lake, but this obsta

Homes and Museums.

Lovers of bric-a-brac-and the phrase des-
Ignates a large number of very interesting
people-are apt to make an important mis-
take. They transform their homes into mu-
seums. They bring together and pile up a

just in the right hooks and places, objects of
art and teauty, is an exceedingly delight
ful thing To examine a collection for the
collections sake-leaviug its relation to the
home entirely out of consideratiun-may be
interesting to some people who are 'up"-
as we say-in those things, but it is not at
all interesting to those who do not see the
use of it. That is-anybody can see that a
beautiful object in barren place serves a
purpose, while a great many things shut up
in cabinet, serve no purpose except by
their numbers to cheaper one another
An object of art in a home is entirely and
always out of place whenever it shows that
the interest of its owner is in the object
rather than the home, A collection usually
oetrays passion or taste which subordi-
mates the love Of home. A person possess
ing this passion, and enthusiastic in pur-
suit OF its object, spoils his home by trans
forming it into a show-place for curiosities.
The true policy is, never to buy an object of
art, OF any sort, without knowing just where
theywil fit into the home-just what unin-
teresting spot it will illuminate-just what
vacant shell or barren surface it will adorn.
Cabinets may be very interesting pieces o.
furniture, but they are often used in such a
way as to degrade or destroy the home idea

YOUNG GRIMES.
BY r. n. sH1LLABER.

Old Grimes is dead-that good old man,
We ne'er shall sec him more
But he has left a son who bears
The name that old Grimes bore.
He wears coat OF latest cut,
His hat is new and gay;
He cannot bear to view distress,
SO he turns from 1t away.
His pants are gaiters-f fitting snug
Ger patent leather shoes;
His hair is by barber curled-
He smokes cigars and chews.
A chain Of massive gold is borne
Above his flashy vest;
His clothes are better every day
Than were old Grimes best.
In fashions court he constant walks,
Where he delight does shed;
His hands are white and very soft,
But softer is his head.
He's six feet tall-no post more straight
His teeth are pearly white;
In habits he is sometimes loose,
And sometimes very tight.
His manners are OF sweetest grace,
HIS voice OF sweetest tone;
His diamond pins the very one
That old Grimes used to own.
A curled moustache adorns his face,
His neck a scarf OF blue;
lie sometimes goes to church for change,
And sleeps In Grimes pew.
lie sports the fastest "cab" in town,
Is always quick to bet;
And never knows who's President,
But thinks "old Tips In yet"
He has drunk wines OF every kind,
And liquors cold and hot;
Young Grimes, in short, is Just that sort
or man-old Grimes was not.

THE SILVER LINING.

There's never day so sunny
But little cloud appears;
There's never life so happy
But has had its time OF tears;
Yet the sun shines out the brighter
When the stormy tempest clears.
There's never garden growing
With roses In every plot;
There's never heart so hardened .
But 1t has one tender spot;
We have only to prune the border
TO find the forget-me-not.
There's'never cup so pleasant
But has bitter with the sweet;
There's never a path so rugged
That bears not the print Of feet;
And we have a helper promised
For the trials we may meet.
There's never a sun that rises
But we know twill set at night;
The unts that gleam in the morning
AT evening are Just as bright;
And the hour that is the sweetest
Is between the dark and light.
There's never O dream that's happy
But the waking makes us sad;
There's never a dream OF sorrow
But the waking makes us glad
We shall look some day with wonder
At the troubles we have had.

HIS YOUTH.
His coat was too thick, and his cap was too thin,
He couldn't be quiet he hated din;
He hated to write, and he hated to read.
He was certainly very much injured indeed
He must study and work over books he detested,
His parents were strict and he never was rested;
He knew he was wretched as wretched could be,
There was no one so wretchedly wretched as he.
HIS MATURITY.
His farm was too small and his taxes too big,
He was selfish and lazy, and cross as pig;
His wife was TOO silly, his children too rude;
And Just because he was uncommonly good
He never had money enough or TO spare
He had nothing at all ut TO eat or to wear
He knew he was wretched as wretched could be,
There was no one 80 wretchedly wretched as he.
HIS OLD AGR.
He finds he has sorrows more deep than his fears,
He grumbles TO think he has grumbled for years
He grumbles 10 think he has grumbled away
His home and his fortune his life's little day.
But alas I is too late--it is no use to say
That his eyes too dim and his hair is too gray
He knows he is wretched as wretched can be,
There is no one more wretchedy wretched than hs

A Walking Miracle.

MR. H. r. STEVENS:
Dear Sir Though a stranger, want 70 IN
form you what VEG ETISE has done for me.
Last Christmas Scrofula made its appearance
In nv system large running ulcers appearing
on me- as follows One each OF my arms,
one on my thigh, which extended TO the seat,
one on my head which eat into the skull bone,
two physicians came to amputate the limb,
though upon consultation concluded not TO do
so, as my whole body was so full of Scrofulai
they deemed it advisable to cut the sore, which
was painful beyond description, and there was
a quart of matter run from this one sore.
The physicians all gave me up to die, ana
said they could do no more for me Both OF my
legs were drawn up to my seat, and II was
thought If did get up again l would be a Grip
pie for life.
When in this condition 1 saw VEGETINE
advertised, and commenced taking 1t i'll March,
and followed with it until / had used six
teen bottles, and this morning | am going TO
plough corn, a well All my townsnen
say it is a miracle to see me round walking ana
working
In conclusion win add, when l was endur-
ing such great suffering. from that dreadful
disease Scrofula, l prayed TO the Lord above 10
take me out of this world, but as ETINE has
restored to me the blessings of health, desire
more than to live, that may be OF some
service to my fellow-men and know OF no
better way to aid suffering humanity, than 10
inclose you this statement of my case, with an
earnest hope that you will publish it, and 1t
will afford me pleasure to reply TO any COM
munication which may receive therefrom,
am, sir, very respectfully,
WILLIAM PAWN.
