mental cities. The walls Of Rome, fol-

they hardly come In for that share OF

their ancient and medieval gates, the
many styles Of their construction. each
pointing to Q particular period OF their
history, their size and strength, their
odd little hooks and corners and their
picturesqueness, Is worth a journey,
which couvinces the stranger that they
would form the chief attraction Of any
other city but Rome.

being o clumsy chopperhke weapon

straight sword with basket hilt, like the

Mahrattas, was O development of the
"katar," having long rapier blade,

People often ask what is the use Of the
abstract studies scientific men and wom-
en- often indulge in. The reply is You
must FIRST discover a new truth before
you can tell whether you can make any
value of it. The valuable discovery
that the black rot can be prevented from
injuring grapes by inclosing the bunch
in a paper bag is the direct result OF
scientific studies.
When 1t was found that the rot was
caused by fungus growing from lit
tie seed or spore which, floating through
the atmosphere, attaches itself TO the
grape berry, it was the easiest thing to
think of putting bags over the bunch
early in the season so that the spore
couldn't get there. Hundreds of thou.
sands of dollars have been saved to the
cultivator by this bagging of grapes
which would have been totally lost but
for the labors of scientific men.-Mee.
