PREVENTING FUTURE MISERY.

IF there is, in this vale of tears. more
prolific source of misery than the rheumatic
twinge, we have yet to hear of it. People
are born with tendency to rheumatism,
just as they are with one to consumption or
to sceofula. Slight caoses may develop
this AS soon az the agonizlng complaint
nanifests itself, recourse should be had to
Hostetter', Stomach Bitters, which checks
it's further inroads and banishes the rheu-
matte poison from the system. This stata-
ment tallies exactly with the testimony
of physicians who have employed this fine
blood depurent in their private practice.
There is also the amplest professional and
general testimony to the efficacy of the
Bitters for malaria, liver complaint, consti-
patton, Indigestion. kidney trouble, nervous
ness and loss of appitite and flesh. After
a wettiug, whether followed by cold or
not, the Bitters is useful as preventive of
the initial attack of rheumatism.

HAUNTED STATUES.
Ancient Egyptians Believed That Images
Were Animated by Spirits-

When Darius l., according to Hero
dotus, wished to erect his statue near
that of Rameses II. (Sesostris), the
priests objected on the ground that
Sesostris was'a greater conquerOr than
he. The statue in question was
one of several erected before
the temple Of Ptah at Memphis, on
the borders of the sacred lake, where is
now the village of Bedreshein- After
Memphis became Christian the repown
of its monuments died away, and when
ii persisted the stones were removed to
serve in building Cairo. One colossus
remained to our day, it having been
preserved under the sand, and on being
unearthed by Caviglia at the beginning
of the century was found to represent
SesostIis in his youth.
This colossus has been visited by
most tourists in Egypt, says the London
Globe. 1t lay on the sands near the
plain of Bedreshein, in hollow or
ditch, and was covered with water dur
ing the inundation. The remains OF
the temple might be traced along the
lake, which is still represented by de-
preston in the ground covered with
wheat fields. Of late years Gen. Ste
phenson and Maj. Bagnold, z. e, have
excluded the waters from the colossus,
raised it on timber supports above the
ground and surrounded it by brick
wall On payment OF two piasters,
however, it can be seen by the curious
NJ Maspero, the great Egyptologist re-
lates IN French contemporary that the
Arabs had formerly great awe of this
which they called About Hol, the ia
Their of fright" as they do the sphinx.
The ancient Egyptians, he assures Us,
believed that statues, divine or human,
were animated by spirit or double"
detached from the soul OF the person
they represented. This double ate,
drank, and spoke or delivered oracles.
In later times the double was credited
with playing evil tricks on those who
approached the statue, and even with
killing them. His power could be de-
stroyed BY breaking the statue, or at
least the features; hence it is that so
many statues Of the Pharoahs have
been mutilated by the Arabs

otion can be entertained no longer

notion can be entertained no longer.
Her intimate friend, Froken Won Sted-
ingk, with reference TO it says: MANY
suppose this resolution to be the result
of pietism. Jenny Lind is as God-fear-
ing as she is pure, but had pictism been
the cause, she would not herself have
gone to the play, which she declared
she liked to do, to see others act" The
fact is that to appreciate her motive for
leaving the stage is to understand the
whole character of the woman. Her
distaste for it seems to have begun with
her first great European success and
steadily grew as her fame spread. Ia
1910 she had lived for ten years q HE of
incessant hard work on the stage; yet
in the following year she wrote from
Paris: Life on the stage has in it
something 50 fascinating that | think,
having once tasted it, one can never
feel truly happy away from it." But
in 1915, Just after her transcendent sue
cess in Berlin, the idea OF leaving the
stage had not merely occurred 10 her
mind, but had already become a hxed
determination. Among the dominant
notes of her character were love Of
home and craving for domestic peace
This craving was to great extent sat
isfied while she remained in Stockholm,
and especially during the time she
lived with the Lindblsd family. But
when her destiny drew her in relentless
triumph TO Berlin, Vienna, Copenhagen,
London, her domestic instincts were
vrenched and tortured. and she found
no compensation IL all the glitter OF
her success Il am convinced" said
Herr Brockha1s, in April, 1873, that
she would gladly exchange oil her tri-
umphs for simple homely happiness.
That was the secret of the whole mat
ter: And 50 she formed the resolution
70 quit the stage forever, a resolution
in which she never vavercd from Is45,
when it first took definite shape, till
she carried it out in London in the sum
mer Of I649.
