The painter confessed that for some

were resting on the steps Of an ancient
Roman temple. In this attitude he was
discovered by one of the artists favor
lite pupils. who alone had free access to
the studio at all times. Struck by the
SURPRISING excellence of the model. the
newcomer congratulated his master At
having at last found exactly what he
wanted. Naturally concluding that the
model had only Just been brought In
from some church porch. and never
dreaming the character assumed by him
was far from his true one. he seized an
opportunity when his masters eyes
were turned to slip a piece Of money
into the beggar's hand. Baron Roths-
child thanked him with look and kept
the money. The pupil soon quilted the

told the baron that this young man pos

had. in fact, to earn his livelihood by
giving lessons In painting and drawing.
shortly afterward the young fellow re-
ceived a letter stating that charity
bears interest. and that the accumu-
lated interest on the amount he had 20
generously given to one whom he sup
posed to be a beggar was represented
by the sum Of 10000 francs. which was
lying at his disposal at the Rothschild

A Berlin periodical has the following:
In 1905 Humboldt and Gay Lussac met
In Paris to pursue the investigat tions
AZ to the compression Of air. The two
men Of science found It necessary to
obtain q large number Of glass tubes.
These were very dear In France at the
time, and the enormously high duty
forbade their introduction from abroad,
But Humboldt was nothing daunted.
He ordered the tubes from a German
glass works. and instructed the manu-
facturer to close them up at both ends
and afiix to each . label with these
words: "Deutsche Luft." German
air.) The air Of Germany was an ar.
ticles which did not appear on the tar
in, and the custom house ofilcials al
lowed the tubes to pass. and they were
thus delivered free Of duty into the
hands Of the two men Of science.-El

The English Drink Less Liquor ana
More Tea, Coffee and Cocoa.
On the motion of Sir F. seager Hunt
q parliamentary return, illustrated by
diagrams, has been issued. showing the
consumption from the year 1851 up to
the latest date of alcoholic and nom
alcoholic beverages and of tobacco,
compared with the increase Of popula-
tion. The general teaching of this Of
ncfal statement, which has been pre-.
pared by the authorities of the custom
house, Ii that Of beverages the aug
mentatton in the consumption of nom
alcoholic drinks-tea, coffee, cocoa and
chicory-has far exceeded that Of the
alcoholic liquors. The former have
risen from 126. .0o0. 900 pounds in 1851 to
266, 100000 pounds in 1898. The figure
In the diagram relating to these articles
il a sharp and continuous gradient up
ward. says the London Telegraph.
On the other hand, the consumption
of British and foreign wines and spirits
has risen from $4,000. 900 gallons in the
same period to $1,000 gallons; but II
was considerably higher from 1879 to
1873 than 1t II now. In the same way
the quantity Of beer drunk. though
about 50 per cent more than It was
thirty years ago. shows q decline when
compared with the years from 1872 to
1873. Exhibited in detail, 1t appears
that the Spanish wines attained their
maximum in 1873, and that the sale IL
less now than 1t was in 1861. The con-
sumption Of French and Portuguese
wines IL greater than was the case thir-
ty years ago, but the totals were larger
in 1875 and 1876 than they are at pres
ent. Wines other than that Of France.
Spain and Portugal show slight ad-
vance.
The consumption of tobacco has risen
in the interval from 29.0oo.0o0 pounds
to 1000. 600 pounds. The most remark
able variations are shown In regard to
beer. In 1861 the average amount con-
sumed per head per annum of the pop
ulation of the United Kingdom was
about twenty-four gallons. In 1874 this
had Sdvanced rapidly to 3SK gallons;
1t thea fell steadily to twenty-seven gall
Ions in 1880. and has now risen again
to 29h gallons. Foreign wines in the
prosperous times of 1s74-7e rose to AZ
plnts per head yearly average, and they
have since declined to less than three
pints. Spirits. British and foreign, ex-
ceeded ten pints per head In 1875. and
they now average less than eight pints.
OF tobacco, the people Of these islands
consumed each, in 1861, nineteen ounces
per annum on an average. In 1898 the
use OF the weed had risen to twenty
six ounces per head.

From Cedar Rapids. Iowa. Republican.
Ars. Y. Curley who has resided In

what she considers rescue from prema-
turs death. Her narrative follows:
For ten years prior to 1894. was
constant suessr 6 fro from :S%fe n;fe,s sTn
toms of acute dyspepsia. and At times
other troubles were present in compli-
cation-I did not know what 1t was to

and preparation of my food. distress
always followed eating. I was despon.
dent and blue. Almost to the point OF
insanity at times. and would have
been glad to die. Often and often
could not sleep. Sympathetic heart
trouble set In and time and again I
was obliged to call a doctor in the night
to relieve sudden attacks OF sunoca~
ton which would come on without .
moments warning.
My troubles increased as time wore
on and I spent large sums in doctor
bills, being compelled to have medical
attendants almost constantly. During
1889 and 1893, 1t was impossible for me
to retain food, and water brashes
plagued me. 1 was reduced to a skele-
ton. A consultation Of physicians was
unable to determine Just what did all
me. The doctors gave US as their opin-
ion that the pl obable trouble was ul-
ceratio. OF the coats Of the stomach
and ;Ieid out no hope of recovery. One
doctor said. "All / can do to relieve
your suffering Is by the use of opium.
About this time a friend of mine.
Mrs. symantha Smith Of Glidden.
Iowa. told me about the case Of Mrs.
Thurston Of oxford Junction. Iowa:
This lady said she had been AFFLICTED
much the same as 1 had. She had con-
suited local physicians without relief.
and had gone to Davenport for treat
ment. Giving up all hope of recovery,
she was persuaded by friend to take

I owe my recovery to DR.. Williams'
