Two days after the carnival ball Am

of her lover; the blue Arno; golden-tipped
spires and marble domes bathed in q
flood of crimson; the snow-capped mount

with the same color. Sun-kissed clouds
rested near them, or tioated in fieecy

gazed in rapture on these beauties, and

They drew rein as he sprang ashore, ask

consenting they were soon of group of
pleasant acquaintances, and Amparo was
introduced to the stranger of the party,
Guy Winthrop, wealthy New Yorker.
The first glimpse of his handsome dark
blue eyes recalled them to her memory,
as those whose glance she had twice met,

BUSINESS. They conversed on topics of
mutual interest, and each were attracted,
evidently some subtle magnetism was
at work. Time alone should fathom this
mystery, and the hours passed quickly
as they do when one is especially happy.
As the moon arose they returned to the
Del Fiore Bridge, Guy escorting Amparo
and her mother to the hotel. On leaving
them he asked permission to call, which
was readily granted, as both ladies were
pleased with his pleasant manners and
agreeable, intelligent conversation, that
evinced, not only culture, but an extern
sive acquaintance with foreign life by
travel, rendering him easy in his man
ners and an agreeable companion in
every way.
The next evening there was to be a
large bali given by the Rialto Club. The
Sonora had ordered a superb cos
tune for Amparo, cream white point de
alcenon, over creamy satin; the decolette
corsage showing her beautiful neck and
arms TO perfection; her bouquet Of crimson
roses, only a shade deeper than her oval
cheeks; ruby necklace sparkled on her
neck, and ruby star in her dark hair was

surroundings. Her fan of lace had a

A Universal Cement.

Professor Winchell has been successful
in making cement Of universal adapta-
ton, being readily and permanently adj
hesive to any surface. His method
requires two ounces of clear gum arabic
and one-half ounce of fine starch, and
one-half ounce of white sugar. The
gum is pulverized and dissolved in the
same quantity of water as is commonly
employed in laundry preparations for the
same quantity of starch. Both starch and
sugar are then dissolved in the gum So
luton, and the whole mixture is sus-
pended in a vessel of boiling water until
the starch becomes clear. The cement
should be as thick as tar, and should re-
main so, prevention from spelling being
insured by dropping in lump of gum
camphor or a little oil of cloves or sassa-
fras. It is claimed that the cement is
strong and tenacious, and will hold i'm
movably to glazed surfaces, and has in

reflected sunbeams amidst the glossy
green foliage; the olive orchards fragrant
with olive odors, and the BLUSH green
leaves making odd spots of color on the
landscape; through groves of chestnuts
with their rich, dark foliage, giving
pleasant, cool shade, and then back by
the winding river bank to the city, lying
asleep in the golden sunshine, the tail
towers and spires of the churches clearly
defined against the Italian blue skies:
the bells of the Cathedral Duomo were
pealing for evening service, filling the
air with music. Passing near the Hotel
del Europe they noticed a number of
Americans alighting from the curious
little carts that transport travellers to and
fro. One of the party turned as their
carriage threatened the maze.n Ampa-
roS eyes met the gaze of pair of dark
blue, earnest eyes; blushing, she knew
not why, she hastily turned to her moth
er with some remark on the street they
were driving through.
The carvinal season was near, and al
ready extensive preparations were being
made, All days are festival days with
the Italians, but carnival days are the
"ne plus ultra" Gay crowds in curious
costumes were patrolling the narrow
streets, firing missiles of flowers or con-
fiettis at each other. Groups of singers
would be listened to in silence, then
pelted numerically with a very hard
kind of bon-bon till they fled before the
storm, TO be pursued by laughter and a
shouting throng.
Amparo looked at them all with
amused, interested eyes. Among her
many new acquaintance was Elmer
Stone, tall, fair Englishman of her own
age. They were, in fact, boon compan-
ions. His mirth-loving, teasing ways
and bright remarks made him an anus

Oh! the fragrant scented bloom

As an angel in his flight
Through the silent voiceless gloom,

And my soul in raptures thrill,

ssThere is nothing new under the

strikes. The way in which our work

when they had just received their
months rations, eating and drinking
went on without restraint. BY the
middle of the month the stock began to
fail, aud famine began to stare the
thriftless household IN the face. So
again and again they went out On strike
in order to extort more from their SUI
periors. A strike Of mas0ns is described
by M. Maspero in detail, and some
parts of the description might almost
be mistaken for extracts from an Eng
lish or German newspaper in the nine.
tenth century Of the Christian era.
The 10Th Of the month the builders
employed a at temple rushed tumultu-
ously out Of the place where they were
working and sat down behind q chapel

in the temple precincts. exclaiming:
1--WE are hungry and there are eighteen
DAYS before next pay day." They
charged the pavmasters with d1shon-
esty. asserting that the latter gave false
measure. The paymasters. on the
other hand. charged the men with want
of foresight, alleging that they spent
their wages as soon as they touched
them. After some further negotiations
with owners of the government the men
resumed work on the understanding
that the King himself should receive
their complaint.
Two DAYS later Pharaoh actually
visited the temple, and when the matter
was laid before him ordered relief to be
given to The woe begOne nlasOns. For
short time there was quiet, but soon
provisions failed and discomfort broke
Out again with renewed violence. Ga
the 10th of the following month the
strike was in full force again. Not a
man would work. On the Itch and 18th
18th they attempted to- leave the pre-
c;ncts of the temple in order to carry
their grievances into the outer world,
but found that the person who was
placed over them had taken precaution
so effectively that no one could leave.
So they spent the whole of that day in
LAYING their plans. On the following
day they resOrted TO more nOisv meth

cries to their manager, they decided to
apply to the governor Of the CITY, and
Therefore rushed through the busy streets

cessors. these discontented artisans

hours in discussing their position and

and ultimately obtained part at least of
their demands.
So we can trace the strike back 5000
years; that is, to period when Rome
was not built aud even Greek clyil]z2-
ton was still in its infancy. How old
the method was at that time it is at
present impossible to say. Perhaps the
custom is as old as the pyramids. Per
haps the first strike preceded the most
ancient of the existing monuments of
civilization.
