Modern vandalism In Rome,

Does any one remember Nine. Rachel,
who used to enamel unsatisfactory COM
plexions "for one OCCASION" or for lifop"
There was much talk of her in her day
Those whom she enameled dared. not
smile, for the composition would have
cracked, but at distance and by candle
Light the effect was really extraordinary.
Rome has been enameled, and the enamel
Is cracking Unexpectedly soon. Rome is
restoring to Caesar the things that are
Caesars. They are much bigger and finer
things than the symmetrical, succeed
cubes which have lately been piled up ev-
erywhere in heaven offending masses, and
one is glad to come back to them after the
nightmare that has lasted 20 years. One
is surprised, moreover, to find how little
permanent effect has been produced by the
squandering of countless millions during
the building mania, beyond terrible de-
struction Of trees, and certain modifioa-
tions of natural local Eeculiarities. 10 do
the moderns justice, they have done no
one act of vandalism as bad as 50 ut least
committed by the barons of the middle
ages, though they have shown very much
worse taste in such new things as they
have set up in the place Of the old.-Mari-
on Crawford in Century.

ON TIE VERGE

Standing where the sunset embers,
Crunbling, fall adown the skies,
Autumn muses. and remembers,
Bending storm regretful eyes.
The imrerious purple burning
From her cheek hath burned away,
And hor bosom feels but yearning
For the golden yesterday.
Though her kingdom fall asunder
Through seditious winds and frost.
And the drums Of winter thunder
And she sees that all Is lost,
Yet her royal pride insureth
That none whisper word Of scorn;
Hsggard, battled. she endureth,
With spirit upward borne.
Eyes that love her grieve serenely
At the pathos Of it all,
In her bounty free but queenly.
Now unbending In her fall.

In the year 1868, Mr.. J. R. Watkins first began
the manufacture of DR.. Wards Liniment For
years he struggled along with limited means,
striving with all his powers and at times despair
| ing of success, but at last established living,
paying business, and made the name 'Dr. Wards"
household word in thousands of homes. Dur
Ing all these long years of toilng and waiting,
Mr.. Watkins little thought that men could Re
| found so lost to every principle of right and
justice as to undertake to despoil him OF his bus
mess, and themselves to attempt to harvest the
fruits of his lifelong labors. However, in this
| matter, he learned that he was mistaken. In
various parts of the country, sprang up bogus
agents offering medicines said to be Dr. Wards
"just as good as DR.. Ward's,'' frequently leading
customers into thinking they had the genuine
| article. Therefore, in order to protect his bust
ness and the public from being imposed upon,
Mr.. Watkins bought from Richard Ward, the
worldwide right to use his name as trade
mark for full line of medicines, and caused the
same to be registered in the U. S. Patent Office
No. 1885.
All customers are hereby cautioned to see that

Mr.. Riddle is awaiting report from

It is hoped that the attention which
has been drawn to the contemplated
expulsion of the Christian missionaries
and agents of the American Red Cross
Society from Asiatic Turkey may have
sufficient weight with the Sultan to pre-
vent the carrying out of this plan,
which. it is said. originated with a
power very friendly to Turkey at pres
ent. and had for its ultimate object the
substitution for the expelled mission
aries the emissaries of another church.
