In ancient Rome, under the republ c,
divorce became more frequent with the
decadence of of manners. But Caesar.
Octayius, Antony, etc, contracted
marriage even three, four and five
times. Indeed, matters were so bad in
Rome that 1t was considered an honor
during her lifetime for woman to have
but one husband, A model eIitaph on
the grave of a Roman matrOn set forth
that her life was ''pious and exemplary,
and that she had only one husband"
Juvenal tells us how a lady could change
her husband eight times in five years |;
and st. Jerome relates the spectacle
could be witnessed at Rome of wo-
man who died having had twenty-five
husbands. ThegOod father might have
added, her last brldeg' DOM was a man
who had been divorced twenty.one
times the state paid the expenses of
this curious marriage, and when the
, woman died she was decreed public
funeral. The conquest of Gaul by the
Romans introduced the institution of
divorce. Basine quilted the king of
Thuringia for Chllperic, vino married
her. A Chilperic king of Seasons, d.
vorced his wife, Andovre, because she
so forgot court etiquette as to present
her baby herself at the baptismal font
to be christened. And Charlemagne
divorced his wife, Theodore, because
she was not a Christian. In Russia,
when husband and wife cannot gel
on together, they take napkin, eact
holdirg an end, and having broken a
cake IN two, proceed to crossroads
and there in the presence of some PEG
pie, tear the napkin to tatters, till the
smallest morsel remains in the fingers
incapable of further subdivision. Il
after this mutual tearing process they
are not reconciled, each takes differ
ent ad, and the tribunal pronounce
the divorce,

the female fixes herself on the plant,
the male, after getting over tie pupa
state, is winged. Two or three months
is the extent of the life Of these little
insects. They are gathered before they
lay eggs and are then rich in coloring
matter.
Carmine is prepared from the cochi-
neal insect, the Coccus dcti, which is
collected by brushing the branches of
the cactus with the tail Of squirrel or
other animal this is very tedious
work. They are killed by immelsing
them IN boiling water, and this has to
be done at once or they would lay their
eggs, and thereby lose much of their
value. There are many processes for
preparing the carmine. The French
process may be taken as an example
one pound of the powdered cochineal
insects is boiled for fifteen minutes in
three gallons of water one ounce OF
cream of tartar is then added, and the
boiling continued for ten minutes
longer then one ource and a half OF
powdered alum is thrown in, and the
boiling continued for two minutes
longer. The liquid is then poured of
and set aside for the carmine to settl'
down. In other processes carbonate o.
soda or potash is used.

The fog signal apparatus is now con.
structed in such a manner that in calm
weather its sound may be heard twenty
miles. This power is gained by means
of two slotted cylinders, one fixed and
the other revolving in it. The slots, as
they pass one another, stop or cut off
the passage of compressed air or steam
and thus cause series of vibrations
and consequently a musical note, the
pitch of which depends upon the speed
of the revolving cylinder. In order to
vary the note, it is only necessary to
control this velocity. The double-note
horn is formed with casing, within
which is fixed slotted cylinder and a
revolving cylinder moving upon spin
die. The slots are formed in each cyl
inder at opposite inclined angles, SC
that the motive fluid impinging against
a number Of inclined planes causes the
inner cylinder to revolve with great
rapidity, carrying, with it two disks
attached to the common spindle, and
upon their peripherles are pressed levers
under the action of small pistons oper
ated by diaphragms, to the outer sur
face of which compressed air is admit
ted. When the high note is required
one brake is put on; for the low note
both brakes.

Portugal.

Portugal IS country which figures
in current history to a very limited
extent. In tile Sixteenth and Seven
teenth centuries the Portuguese were
great navigatOrs and cOlonizers, They
occupied some of the richest countries
on the globe, The wealth of the East
Indies and South America and the
islands of the sea flowed into Lisbon.
In the Eighteenth century the British
country began to plumber them of their
colonies. Napoleon occupied their
country in 1907 and the royal fam ly
fled to Brazil. After the restoration
Portugal declined to nothlngness. She
has few foreign possessions left and is
noted just now as the claimant of the
Congo's mouth and as secret pro.
mOter of the African slave trade. A
recent statement Of the financial stand.
ing Of Portugal is suggestive that the
little country is IN very bad way, con,
sidering that the whole population does
not exceed 100000. The public debt OF
the country IS about $500, 900. 600, Or a
charge of 500 to each individual, and
the expenditures for the past ten years
have exceeded the revenue by nearly
$4 100000 while not budget for the

Nose Bleeding.

1t is by no means unusual to have q
free discharge of purulent matter and
even blood from the nose, sometimes at
least atfording relief in certain forms
of disease kind of safety-valve. In
the circumstance already referred to,
in which the "heaters" are so freely
used as to produce an irritation of the
membranes of the nose, mouth, ears,
throat, ETC., it will be perfectly natural
for the nose to be sore and inhamed,
ready to bleed from the slightest in
Jury, the blood bursting out freely,
even when excitement, or any other
cause, sends an unusual amount Of
blood to the head. Those who have an
infammatory, or Teyerish tendency,
whose stomach and throat are infiamed,
will naturally have sores In the nose
and around it, as well as behind the
ears. AS u natural result there will be
various discharges from the nose, If
this bleeding be habitual, it is quite
certain that the whole system demands
attention. If it is the result of an &C.
cident the bleeding will not ordinarily
be profuse, but will stop when the
moderate supply is exhausted.
When The membrane of the nose is
tender, irritated and sore, it is well tc
wet cloth in boraX and water and
press it up into the nose as far as pos
sible, allowing it to remain, repeating
this from day to day. If there are sud
den bursts of blood, some strong alum
water may be syringed into the nose, O.

head. Or pressing firmly about half
inch of the upper lip, Just under tn
nose, or that part of the edge of tn
jaw about one inch from the tip of tn
chin, so as to stop the flow of the blood

beating of the small blood-vessel.

If strong, active man, In perfect
health, were to lie down IN idlenesss
for few months, his strength and
vigor would depart from him, his mus
cles would become soft and weak, and
he would be, in fact, an invalid. Were
he then to rise up and take moderate
exercise at first, gradually increasing
the amount until he had resumed his
accustomed activities, his muscles would
resume their former 1rmness and
strength. Men have control over their
health, and if they fail to do their part
in the world it is usually their own
fault. If they strive 10 do too much
and thus impair health and shorten
life, 1t is still their own fault. Those
are happlest and live the longest who
are well nourIshed and whose regular
business demands about the same
amount of bodily activity every day,
as would be essential to health under
any circumstances.
The OBJECT Of exercise is to stimulate
the vital organs to healthful activity.
The breathing becomes more rapid
under exercise, the blood is more rapid
ly oxygenized, the circulation is quick

mated more promptly for the system
the digestive organs do their work
more promptly and more thoroughly
and demand is soon made for a new

takes food with an increased relish.
