Rome's Vast Ellipse and the Many Chang

Rome's Vast Ellipse and the Many Chang
 ing Moods It Has Seen.
 It seems strange that not until the middle of last century did it occur to any of the successors of Peter to rescue from the desecration of indifference spot saturated, one may say without hyperbole, with the blood of the mar tyrs. Everybody knows that earthquake, fire and inundation competed with each other for its destruction. Guis cards troopers stalled themselves there, and the Frangipani transformed 1t into a fortress. When less turbulent times supervened, it became by tacit consent the common quarry of the more power ful Roman houses. When for @ time friendly enough with each other, they held tilt and tourney within 1t, and then mystery plays restored for time its theatrical character. Sixtus V had a scheme for turning it into a woolen manufactory, and another prince of peace thought it would serve capitally as a powder magazine. Meanwhile 1t remained 8 convenient market place for the sale of vegetables. But in 176O an earnest Ligurian monk, Leonardo da Porto Maurizio, came to Rome, craved audience of Benedict XIV, and obtain ing papal sanction for the new form of devotion known as the Via Crucis, in- duced the sovereign pontif to consecrate the Coliseum to celebrate mass there and to erect a large wooden cross in the very center of the pagan arena
 Ever since the stations of the cross, commemorating the journey to Calvary, have encirclsd the vast ellipse, and the newcomers whose rising voices disturbed my reverie are wandering hither behind a tall, barefooted, bareheaded Francis can friar, to make the dolorous pilgrim age. All the fine ladies of Rome are there, and, needless of delicate hounce and furbelow, they kneel on the un- swept ground at every halt made by the rosary girdled monk and bow their heads in audible lamentation. Then, when the long, sad service is completed, he rebukes them for their transgressions and invites them to holier life. That much can make out from where l sit, in sympathetic contemplation of the scene, though no small part of his ex- hortation reaches me, but in fitful vowel sounds, musical, but somewhat vague in meaning. Before they have come to close blare of trumpets tells me that 8 body of French zouaves is coming along the Via San Gregorio, between the Pala' tine and Calian hills, on their way back to barracks from the exercising ground that lies beyond the tomb o1 Caius Cestus and Shelley's burial place
 The insoIence of alien drum,
 Vexing the bright blue air,
 To smite Q peoples anguish dumb
 Or speed rash despair,
 That once had wrunR
 That prophet tongue
 To challenge force and cheer the slave,
 Rolls unrebulzed around his grave.

Inoculation For Yellow Fever.

At the meeting of the American Pub lie Health association at Denver, Dr.. Manuel Garmona y Valle of Mexico read description of his discovery of 8 certain cure for yellow fever, which he has used successfully in hundreds of cases. His method is to make subcu- taneous injection in the cellular tissue of the arm of a secretion taken from a yellow fever patient between the fourth and fourteenth days of the fever. This effects a cure, but the disease can be guarded against in this way, just as smallpox is guarded against by vaccina- tion.-Baltimore Sun.

Ronpht Her Own Gown.

They tell story of an unfortunate so- ciety woman, who, being terribly pushed for a gown to wear at a great occasion, sold seven gowns for the price of one to Mime. X. Among these gowns was one hardly rumpled, and which, though very magnificent, had evidently been worn at most only once. This dress Mime. X. sold as a model to Mime. Y., who was the society woman's dress maker, and who had been obdurate about making another thing for the poor little woman without cash down.
 When this "model'' came in, she saw a chance for big return of money, so she compromised with her customer and agreed to let her have model dress, just imported, for a very low figure. Whereat the poor woman paid all the money she had received for all hei dresses, and out Mime. Y. brought the model. The poor woman talked herself blue in the face, but she could not say anything to protect herself without be- traying her dealing with Mime. K, SO poor thing, she danced in her old froci after all, having swapped all her other Qowns for the privilege. -Cincinnat | EnaaiTer,

THE OLD YORK OF TO-DAY.
Present Condition of the English Name sake of the American Metropolis.

Present Condition of the English Name
 sake of the American Metro2olis.
 There can be no doubt that one of the most interesting towns of England is the city of York. There will be found distributed in lavish manner what all the wealth of America could not possi- bly purchase or create. Indeed the same may be said of every other country, for nowhere can we now reproduce the marvellous architecture or the stained glass of the twelfth and thirteenth cen furies, and no town is so rich in these unequaled works of the past as the town of York. That this is fully appreciated by Americans is best set forth by the fact that recently no less than 800 Americans visited York in one single day.
 York minister is the king of English cathedrals. Apart, however, from the cathedral, York has much greater num- Der of churches as old and, in their way, as remarkable as the cathedral. What, however, seems to me most exceptional is not these ancient monuments, but their surroundings. Throughout Europe, fin London, Paris and elsewhere, me- di@val cathedrals, town halls and other buildings still subsist. but they are sur rounded by @ framework of modern houses and streets. At York, on the con- trary, as at Frankfort, Nuremberg and a few other continental towns, the streets as we'll as the churches recall the middle ages
 York is just the opposite to Hull The latter town owes its very existence to its commercial capabilities, while York never was a commercial town. Hull is a town which has absolutely nothing to show, yet it has a population of more than 200, ,O00 inhabitants, and many ot its citizens are extremely wealthy. Hull fought for the parliament against King Charles, and Hull was celebrated for It's cruelty toward the Catholics. York, on the contrary, fought for the king against the parliament, and, as Catholics were not SO cruelty used in the York prisons. 2hev were sent from York to Hull when it vas thought desirable to treat them more harshly. Many very excellent fam flies have selected to reside in York, but there are very few large fortunes. YorE is a town of poor gentlemen; Hull is town of wealthy vulgarians. York has rengiously sought to preserve what Il of historical and artistic value; Hull has ruthlessly destroyed all that was oi no immediate business use. These two towns, so close to each other, constitute excellent object lessons, illustrating th' two great forces, the two great current of opinion, which for several centuries have struggled against each other Philadelphia Telegraph.

 R. W. Edwards, of Lansingburgh, was pIostrated by sunstroke during the war and it has entailed on him peculiar and serious consequences. At present writing Mir. E. is prominent officer of Post Lyon, G. A. R.. Cohoes and past aid de camp on the staff of the commander-in-chief of Albany Go. In the interview with reporter. he said:
 ''I was wounded and sent to the hospital at Winchester. They sent me together with others to Washing ton-a ride of about 100 miles. Hay- ing no room in the box cars we were placed face up on the bottom of flat cars. The sun beat down upon our unprotected heads. When l reached Washington l was insensible and was unconscious for ten days while in the hospital. An abscess gathered in my ear and broke; 1t has been gathering and breaking ever since. The result of this 100 mile ride and sunstroke, was, heart disease, nervous prostration, insomnia and rheumatism; a con- pletely shattered system which gave me no rest night or day. AS last resort I took some Pink Pills and they helped me to wonderful degree. My rheu- matism is gone, my keart failure, dys- pepsia, and constipation are about gone and the abscess in my ear has stopped discharging and my head feels as clear as bell when before it felt as though it would burst and my once shattered nervous system is now nearly sound. Look at those fingers, Mir. Edwards said. "do they look as if there was any rheumatism there?' He moved his fingers rapidly and freely and strode about the room like a young boy. "A year ago those fingers were gnarled at the joints and so stiff that I could not hold pen. My knees would swell up and could not straigbten my leg out. My joints would squeak when moved them. That is the living truth.
 "When I came to think that l was going to be crippled with rheumatism, together with the rest of my ailments, tell you life seemed not worth living. I suffered from despondenoy. can- not begin to tell you," said MT. Ed wards. as he drew long breath. what my feeling is at present. I think if you lifted ten years right off my life and left me prime and vigorous at forty seven I could feel no better. was an old man and could only drag myself painfully about the house. Now can walk off without any trou- ble. That in itself," continued MT. Edwards, "would be sufficient to give me cause for rejoicing. but when you come to consider that am no longer what you might call nervous and that my heart is apparently nearly healthy and that I can sleep nights you may realize why I may appear to speak in extravagant praise of Pink Pills. These pills quiet my nerves, take that awful pressure from my head and at the same time enrich my blood. There seemed to be no circulation in my lower limbs a year ago, my legs being cold and clammy at times. Now the circulation there is as full and as brisk as at any other part of my body. used to be so light-headed and dizzy from my nervous disorder that frequently fell while crossing the floor of my house. Spring is coming and I never felt bet ter in my life, and am looking for ward to busy season of work. .''

Obtained Expert Advice.

Talk about nervel A Caribou dentist tells The Republican that a woman came to his rooms one day lately, and, showing him an aching tooth, asked If it would come out hard. The dentist. after an inspection, replied that it would be an easy tooth to pull; whereupon the sufferer remarked: Wall, I'm glad. A blacksmith promised to pull the tooth with a pair of pinchers, and guess I 'u let him do the job, if the tooth is comin easy" And away she went, leaving an astonished and bewildered dentist to gaze at her in wonder as she started for fhe blacksmith's shop.
