What is a cold in the head? Medical
authorities say it is due to uneven cloth
ing of the body, rapid cooling when in
perspiration, &c. The important
point is, that cold in the head is an in
tiammation of the lining membrane of
the nose, which, when unchecked, is
certain to produce catarrhal condition
for catarrh is essentially a "cold''
which nature is no longer able to 're-
solve" or throw off. Ely's Cream Balm
has proved its superiority, and sufferers
should resort to it before that common
ailment becomes seated and end in OBJ

DR.. SCHLIEMANN'S PALACE.
Remarkable Home in Athens Where
Classical Greek Was the Language.

Remarkable Home in Athens Where
Classical Greek Was the Language.
l have visited many royal palaces, but
DR.. Henry SchliemGnn's home in Athens
surpassed them all in the beauty of its ap
pointments and the loneliness of its EN-
bellishments. 1t is situated in the midst
of a large garden, where insummer statues
of Grecian gods and goddesses CLEAN
through foliage Of tropical richness. But
my visit was in midwinter, and the streets
OF the city were fairly covered with snow.
The tinkling of sleigh bells seemed more
in harmony with the scene than the soft
notes of Apollo's lutte.
DR.. Schliemann's marble palace is on
one of the most fashionable streets OF
Athens, and as | walked through the
streets leading TO it | saw no Greek girls
who recalled Byron's Maid of Athens"
nor any Athenian women who resembled
those proud danes of ancient times whose
dark hair was adorned with the golden
graSshopper as an announcement that they
had SPRUNG from the soil"
AS approached DR.. Schliemann's | was
struck by the life size marble statues of
Grecian poets, philosophers and heroes
that embellished the roof of the stately
pile. The door of the palace was opened
by tall fOotman, who spoke French with
strong accent. Handing him my card
was invited to enter the library, which,
with the exception of the Vatican library,
is the most beautiful have ever seen.
The walls of the stately apartment were
hung with exquisite pictures representing
classical subjects, and the corners were
adorned with graceful statues. The dark
bookcases were crowned by marble busts
of GreCian poets and philosophers. The
library was rich in classical literature, in
which Greek, of course, predominated, for
DR.. Schliemann was an enthusiast about
ancient Greece-the language of Plato and
Alcibiades being the language of his house.
He made his butler take the classical name
of Pelops and his cook that of Jocassee.
DR.. Schlemann's wife is Greek, beau
tiful and intelligent, but not patrician,
far she is the daughter of shopkeeper of
Athens. In this respect she is of the same
social position as her husband, for he was |
originally a shop boy in Hamburg, and |
made his fortune in the indigo trade. He |
was nearly 20 years old at the time of nv |
visit to Athens, but with all the physical |
vigor of 50. His wife was just about half |
his age, but wonderfully Congenial and |
sympathetic. They had two children, who,
according to their fathers classical taste, |
were called AgamemOn and Andromache. |
The former was n beautiful boy of s. with
dark hair and eyes and Grecian nose and
mouth. Andromache was just 10, and so
lovely that she might have served as a
model for the most graceful statue in her
fathers library. She had q great talent !!
for languages, and spoke with fiuency both
ancient and modern Greek, French, Ger
man. Italian and English. She was accom-
plished in dancing, drawing and music,
and her talent for tapestry would have /
made her fit companion for Penelope.-l
