Tine Emneror and tbe Artt,t,

Carpeaux lived in close intimacy with the imperial family at the Tuileries, at Compiegne and at Fontainebleau He and came over to Chiselhurst to give les sons to Lulu. One of the most striking specimens of his skill is a portrait of the dead emperor in his coffin. Another and more cheerful example will be found in the original clay group ill which the prince imperial is playing with Nero, his fathers favorite dog. The latter could only be induced to sit to the sculptor by the bribe of plentiful sup ply of cherries, while the boy was re- warded for his patience by permission to dabble with the Jumps of clay in the studio. Making little men of mud was the child's great delight, and several bits of his workmanship included in the forthcoming show at Paris display re- markable aptitude.
 At ball given in the Tuileries Car peaux met charming young lady, Mile. de Montfort, whose rank, as he thought, precluded his making an offer. Next morning he presented himself very early at the emperor's door and begged for an immediate audience. ''Sire, he cried on gaining admission, ''please to create me a baron" Napoelon III, much amused, got him to tell his story, and explained to him that title would in no way enhance the valus of his name. A marriage was arranged but it did not turn out very happily. Mime. Carpeaux still lives. s.-Pall Mall Gazette.

A ROMAN MODELS TROUBLES.
The Thin Man and Ills Disastrous Ambition
 to Pose For Hercules.

to Pose For Hercules
 The Piazza di Spagna, one of the fin est squares in Rome, is the capital of the English speaking colony. Some of its older members grumble a good deal at the manner in which the forestieri have taken possession of this beautiful piazza, fogetting that they themselves were the pioneers of the peaceful con- quest A broad magnificent double stair way leads from this place to the terrace of the Trinita de Monti above. Here the models congregate, and here the artist comes to find his Mary, or his Circe, his Pan or his St John. They are all here The gods and the demigods of Greece the saints and martyrs of Christianity, personated by whole families of models A graybeard who once served the paint CT for Narcissus is now accounted the best patriarchal model in Rome, while his wife, in her youth the original of famous Psyche, is now being painted as the oldest of the Fates. Children and grandchildren have followed the same calling, and the babies of this family are in great demand, because they can pose almost as soon as their eyes are open.
 The story of Pietro, the hopelessly fat model of many pictures of bulky monks, has certain moral He began life as the very thin man. He posed for emaci ated hermits and dying saints, but he was such living skeleton that he was only available in rare cases, the modern taste being more for brawn and muscle than for skin and bone. Pietro finally made a heroic resolve. He left Rome and went up into his own little native town In the hills, where he spent many months in transforming himself from the very thin man into the very strong man. He often describes his training, which, if original, was at least effeotual.
 There being no gymnasium at hand, he used two chairs for parallel bars, and having no trainer invented many curi- ous and useful exercises, by the aid of which he, who had left Rome Titho- nus, returned to it Hercules. Now, alas, he has all unwillingly developed into another stage and become so enormous ly fat that he is hardly more often avail able to the artists than he was in the first stage of his career.-Rome Cor.

Deaf.es. Can's be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by con- stitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an infiamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets fnfiamed you have 8 rumbling sound or inn perfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness Is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Nine cases out of ten arc caused by catarrh, which Is nothing but an infiamed condition of the mucuous sur- faces.
 We will give one hundred dollars for any case of desfness (caused by catarrh) that we cennot cure by taking Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.
