The Reward OF Selflshness.

know two little sisters whose names
are Ida and Jennie. Ida is seven years
old, and is very kind, good girl. Jen.
ME is five years old. She is cross ana
selfish, and always doing something to
tease some one. Everybody loves fda.
and all of her playmates like to have
her go to see them
But wnen JENNIE visits any OF her
playmates she is always getting iDto
trouble, and they are glad when she
goes home.
Whenever presents are sent to these
little girls, Jennie is afraid that her sis.
ter viii get something better than She
receives. A visitor, once gave her 4
silver dime and Ida a nickle fye-cent
piece.
As soon as Jennie saw that her sis.
ter's piece of money was larger than
hers, she was sulky and began Is pout.
So her sister exchanged with her, and
they went to the store to spend their
money. Then she was cross again be-
cause the storekeeper gave her sister
more for the small piece of money than
he gave herfor the larger piece.
One day these little girls father
brought them two fihe-looking peaches.
One Of them YVES rather smaller than
the other, and had little speck on it.
perhaps l ought to give Ida her
choice, said the father, '.sinee she Ii
older than her sister,
mo, Iwant my choice" cried Jen-
ME. II want the larger one" And
she eagerly snatehed it from her faith
ers hand. He then gave the other one
to Ida. @
When they sat down to eat their
peaches, Ida found hers sweet and juicy;
but Jennie's was so sour and bitter that
she had to throw it away.
When Ida saw that Jennie's peach
was not fit to eat, she was about to Of
fer her half of her own, but her father
said; ''No; Jennie must go without, as
a reward for being so selfish. =

A delicious chicken soup is made
by cutting up one chicken and putting
it in your kettle with nearly two quarts
of water, teaspoonful of salt and
little pepper. When about half done
add two tablespoonfuls of barley or of
rice. When this is done remove the
chicken from the soup, tear or cut part
of the breast into small pieces, and add
to the soup with cup of cream. The
rest of the chicken may be reserved for
salad, or for chicken croquettes.-Ch CHI

history of cities. The scheme is to-
make new street under the present

houses on each side, and lit by electric

the daytime. The middle of the street
would hold railway tracks, not only ZOE
city travel, but to accommodate ln-cQnl- &

The Baths Of CaracaIla.

These wonderful baths were COM
menced by Caracalla in the year PIP,
and were completed by Alexander
Severus. In length they are 1,840
yards by 1,471 in width. As many as
1000 people could battle in them at
once, which is another thing that shows
the change in the Roman temper. A
bath accommodating one-fourth of that
number would hold all the Romans of
the present day who know anything
about baths.
Caracalla had a good idea of what
was necessary for the comfort of those
addicted to the bath There was the
Apodyterium, or disrobing room, where,
as an Iowa man expressed it, ''those
wantin' to wash peeled themselves"
there was the Sudatorium or yapor
bath, which was heated to any degree
desirable, the same idea obtaining now
in our Russian baths, the Tepiearium
or tepid bath, the Caldarium or hot
bath, the Frigidarium or cold bath,
and that nothing might be lacking, the

1t wasn't cleanliness. that DESTROYED
the Roman Empire, but nevertheless
it's downfall commenced at about this
style of bath period. The predecessor
of the luxurious Caracalla and his
Court did not need the Apodyterium
and the succeeding "ums' to take a
bath. He was wont, when he felt like
it, to shed his armor and jump into

blood of those fell under his victorious
sword, and his luxury was the stern ioy

greatness who require four or five
rooms in which to take bath.
They had another department quite
as extensive and quite as luxurious for
theiI, women, and in an open court
was an immense swimming bath, in
which 1000 could disport themselves at
once.
1t was not alone bathing and swim
ming that these wonderful baths afford
ed. There were inclosed within these
walls majestic gardens and fountains,
arenas for running and wrestling, the
aters for all sorts of games, athletic
and otherwise, lecture rooms in which
the poets of the day were permitted to
persecute their friends, their were shops
for the sale of perfumes and precious
ointments, the whole was decorated
with statuary-in brief, it was q vast
gathering of everything that was lux

The wonderful roofs have fallen in ages
ago, and just enough are left of the
mosaic floors to verify the accounts of
contemporaneous historians. The mar
hles were stolen years ago to build new
and fresher palaces in Rome. All that
is left is just enough to give some sort
of an idea of what it was. The re-.
mains are sermons on the vanity of hui
