Living In Barns.

Living in barns is solid comfort, com.
pared to our homes before the furnace
fires are lighted. The discomfort of sit.
ting in an unheated room is bad enough,
but the cold that follows is ten times
worse. To sit sewing all day with the
feet cold to sit shivering in an Office, or
in draughty lecture or amusement hall,
is often equivalent to winters sickness.
In the midst of these dangers, if you
have in your pocket bottle of "77," an
occasional dose will prevent you taking
cold. "77" cures Colds, Grippe, Influ.
enza, Catarrh, Pains and Soreness in the
Head and Chest, Cough, Sore Throat.
General Prostration and Fever. "77''
will "break up" stubborn cold that
threatens to "hang on" all winter. DR..

Plains of Troy.

The plains Of Troy, so famed and flour.
ished in ancient days, are now barren and
desolate. The sculptor sees no statues, the
architect no remains and the painter any
thing but picturesque view. 1t is fit only
for the collegian or the moralist, The
classic Soamander is but a muddy stream
winding through an uncultivated plain,
covered with stunted oaks, underwood
and rushes. At the opposite extremity Of
the plain stand the tombs Of Hector and
Achilles, that of the latter near the Helles-
pont, where the Greek fleet was moored.
Near Is the grave of his friend, Patroclus.
All their glories are now reduced to few
tumuli, about 80 feet high. The Seaman
der is between 200 and 900 feet broad and
very muddy, having the appearance Of be-
ing much flooded.
Farther up the plain its course becomes
undistingushable among the marshes.
After passing a smaller river, you arrive
at an ancient tumulus, not far from the
shore. What Ia most striking in this
monument is the existence of an arch,
which forms an entrance to the center.
Above are the remains of a square base
ment, on which the column Of the tomb
may have formerly stood. On your return
you see the tombs of Achilles aud Patro-
clus and some others.-Pittsburg Dis
