TWO BABIES.

On the well-worn stoop Of an humble home
In a clean though narrow street,
While the day as yet was young and fair
AS the springtime sun was sweet.
Sat an aged man in decent garb,
With a look half vague, half sad,
And he held the hand in his trembling
clasp
OF sturdy four-year lad.
Said a voice: Nov, dad don't you quit the
Take good care gran'pa, John. dear!"
Such a knowing nod as the baby gave!-
But the old man did not hear.
Yet he pressed more firmly the soft wee
hand,
Sought the eyes so quick and bright,
And protecting love just as clearly felt
AS the warmth of vernal light.
All. I wondered how and of what they
talked,
Those two children in the sun;
Did the babe of age and the babe of youth
Find their plane of being one?
And thought I might, could learn that
tongue,
Make Of life the burden plain,
Till perhaps the tired in His love would Sit
AS in light the babies twain.

WOMAN AND HOME.
MODJESKA'S HOME.

Quaint and Beautiful Place, Not
Far from Los Angeles.
Connoisseurs in art and lovers of
nature, some years ago she and her
husband came by chance upon a wild
and beautiful spot in the mountains OF
the coast range, about 30 miles south
east OF Los Angeles. which took such
hold upon their fancy that they were
never satisfied until they had estab-
lishcd their resting headquarters there.
And. indeed, one could scarcely mag
inc more ideal retreat than this.
Far away from the hurry and hustle,
up in a canyon where are purling
streams, and nodding ferns, and spread
cent of the mountains, is the unpreten-
tious white frame villa-''Arlen'' they
have called this mountain home, in
honor of Shakespeare's Forest of Ar
den.' Here Modjeska comes each sum-
nler to spend as much time as her busy
life will permit. The drive from the
fertile Santa Ana valley leads through
the Santiago canyon, one Of the most
beautiful spots in southern California,
and is charming beyond description.
So gradual is the ascent, that one passes
from an elevation of 500 feet above the
sea level to 1850 feet, scarcely realizing
that one has been climbing. The road
winds through groves of immense live
oak, sycamore trees, whose branches
are festooned with wild grapevine,
woodbine and other creepers, and
e.
mountain stream. Here and there
stand out great punches of the tall
white California peoples, and in their
season the stately yuccas, crowned
with their great white panicles, the
feathery elder, the white clematis and
large beds of cactus, brilliant with their
beautiful yellow and crimson blossoms
and ripe "tunas.'' The crested road
runners scamper ahead of the horses:
the doves call across the canyon, and
aocks of startled quail whirr from
Coverts by the roadside.
At last we find ourselves at the en-
trance to the Modjeska canyon, which
widens into a magnificent natural park
BY buying up different "claims' from
cid mountaineers, they have now about
1000 acres of land. The tiI!able part
has been set to orchards of oranges
walnuts, olives and deciduous fruits
and a considerable vineyard The
mountain sides afford abundant graz
| ing for the flocks and herds
Two miles or more from the entrance
after a sharp turn in the road, ant
once more crossing the stream, we have
our first glimpse of the house ant
grounds. The broad lawns, beneath
the spreading live-oaks, make de
lightfully cool and restful picture. The
house is nestled within a crescent of thu

A PERNICIOUS HABIT.
How to Stop Children from Sucking:
Fingers and Thumbs.

How to Stop Children from Sucking
Fingers and Thumbs.
The habit Of sucking. the thumb
among children is one probably of very
ancient origin. 1t may have descend
cd from our simian ancestors, although
no observations bearing upon this point
so far seem to have been made. An
other explanation of the habit may be
that the pressure of the thumb in the
child's mouth causes some relief dur
ing the period of dentition, and thus
helps to allay the irritation present in
the gums. But whatever the cause
may be, the habit is undeniably a bad
one, and when persistently and extern
sively practiced calls for correction.
Many devices, of course, have from.
time to time been introduced with this
end in view. Some have proved sue
cessful; on the other hand, OCCASION
ally all have ended in failure. A med
ical man relates in the Boston Medical
arG Surgical Journal how difficulty
of this nature was successfully sur
mounted in the following way: For
two years every available plan for stop
ping the habit had been tried on little
girl of five years of age, but without
any satisfactory result. Accordingly
the practitioner proceeded to immob-
ilize the elbows of the child at very
obtuse angle. a silicate of potash ban
dage was applied to each arm, reaching
nearly from the shoulder to the wrist.
After these had hardened they were
split at the sides and removed They
we're then covered and lined with fam
nel. These two long tubular band
ages could then, like gauntlets, be
pulled on and off as the parents wished.
This method proved perfectly success
full. In two weeks time the child was
cured of the habit.-N. Y. Journal.

road. After night of so much excite
ment camp slept late. Lambert was
aroused somewhere about seven by a
scratching at the tent flap, and Sergt.
Burns, answering the summons to
"come in,' poked his freshly shaved face
through framing of white canvas to
ask it he might send the lieutenant some
breakfast from the cook-fire. 1t was
barely "A hours since his arrival in camp,
and so crowded had these hours been
with event, experience and novelty that
the young officer seemed to feel he had
been a month on duty. There lay his
blue flannel blouse at the foot of his cot.
Unseen hands had tossed it from the
window at which on his first appear
ance the previous night slender, white
robed form had been piteously crying
for help. He drew it to him and
searched the left shoulder strap. Yes!
Even now three or four curling hairs
were twining like the tendrils of vine
about it's dead-gold border and across
the field of sky-blue velvet-another
vogue to the day. "She had time to dis
entangle the mass, but could not see
these line filaments in so dim a light"
he laughed to himself "Only fancy
what my Merrimac madre would say if
she were to hear that pretty head-a
southern girls head-had been resting
on my shoulder the very first night
got here! Only fancy what the damsel
herself would say, if she had chance to
say anything! And as her mamma
we'll, what wouldn't she say:''
Lambert had lots to think of as he
made his soldier toilet and came forth
into the gloomy, moisture-laiden air,
for the southeasterly wind was sweep
ing the rain clouds up from the distant
gulf, and nature looked bleak and dis
NAL. Two items occurred to give him
comfort. No sooner had he stepped out
into the open space than the one sentry
at the other end of the camp shouted:
Turn out the guard-commanding Of
ficer!' which was unnecessary at the
distance and under the circumstances,
yet clearly proved that the disposition
among the men was to 'brace up in
recognition of the arrival of an officer
who knew what discipline meant.
And then, looking suspiciously as
though he had been waiting for chance
to undo the i'll effect of his blunder OF
the previous day, there in front of
Burns tentstood Corporal Cunningham,
company clerk; and the salute with
which he honored the camp commander
was as pregnant with good intent as it
was clumsy in execution. Somebody
had placed an empty clothing box by
the side of the tent, covered it with can
vas fly, and set this improvised table for
one with the best tins the company mess
afforded. Somebody else had carefully
BACKED the lieutenant's boots and shoes
and presently up came a young German
soldier bearing the lieutenant's break
fast on the company cooks breadboard,
which was covered with clean white
towel.

GRAY HAIR STYLISH.
fOun: Women Now Seem to Admire
the Silver Threads.

Young WomcI, Now Seem to Admire
the Silver Threads.
'Silver threads among the gold' is
the latest fad among young women who
wish to appearintellectual and thought
full. Wig-makers will deny it, but the
fact remains that there is an alarming
prevalence of girls with gray hair on
their temples. From time immemorial
1t has been the habit of the fair sex to
weed the gray hairs carefully from
their heads. One swallow cannot make
a spring, but it is a well-known fact
that ten gray hairs will make years
difference in a woman's age. This is
why in former times they pulled them
out SO carefully.
Times have changed, however, and it
is the fashion Just now to appear very
metaphysical and very philosophical,
and with just dash of the 'ologies''
thrown in. 1t certainly gives young
woman an air of something above the
average giggling and gum chewing
matinee girl.
II you want to simulate the prop
CT thing, just go to the wigmaker's and
give him just a small wisr of your hair,
with instructions to match it in a shade
of gray in small toupe>y affair, to be
worn after the fashion OF false bangs.
Then train the gray bairs carefully
through your own locks, and there YOU
are.
Take a walk down Fifth avenue and
see the streams of gray-headed girls
coming from church. and sti1t not or>o
OF them, unless convicted by indubit-
able evidence, will confess to over 1s.--

young woman threw herself at her
mothers side and began chatting and
slapping the slender white hands and
begging all manner of absurd and i'm
possible things of the PROSTATE, pallid,
death-lilze form. Elinor, who had
obeyed orders and locked the impulsive
damsel in, had now released her and
then collapsed.
''Do not try to raise her head" said
Lambert, gently, to the frightened
child, who, having exhausted one ef-
fort, was now striving to revive her
mother with passionate kisses. 1--WE

said Miss Walton, piteously. eve had
some, that had been in the cellar for
years, that mother hid during the war;
but-you-it was being stolen, or some
thing-and she sold what was left.''
Burns quickly left the room. When
he returned, few minutes later, he
held forth a little flask. Mrs. Walton
still lay senseless, and her condition
was alarming to one and all. Lambert
poured out stiff dose. snake her take
it all, little by little,'' he whispered to
Miss Walton, and then, with calm de-
cision, stopped, and, encircling the
slender waist of the younger girl with
his arm, quickly lifted her to her feet.
A tress of her rich, red-brown hair was
caught in his shoulder-strap, but neither
noticed it. Such was the patients
prostration that for moment even
brandy failed of it's stimulating effect.
Not until several spoonfu1s had been
forced between her blue lips did there
come that shivering sigh that tells of
reviving consciousness. The white
hands began feebly to pluck at her
dress and the heavy eyelids to open
slowly. eve will fall back" whispered
Lambert. CPL wait in the hail."
But when lie turned to tiptoe away, a
very touzled, tangled, dishevelled, but
pretty head had to come, too. There
was too much of that fine, shining, SHIN
mering tress to let go. Burns was al
ready creal1ing out into the dark pas
sage. Miss Walton was absorbed in her

va]id's was white, and both her tiny
hands were madly Juggling and pulling
at the offending tendrils; but who could
work to advantage with the back or side
of ones head practically clamped to the
work bench? Miss Katherine could not
tear herself loose except at the risk Of
carrying away a square inch Or more
of scalp, for the strap would not yield,
and its wearer could not help so long
as her own hands were Juggling. There
was every likelihood, therefore, that the
tableau on which Nine. Walton'c open
ing eyes should gaze would be about
the very last she would care to see-the
bonnie head of her precious child re-
posing, to all appearance, en- shoulder

in Yankee blue-when Lambert, alive
to the desperate nature of the situation,
quickly cast loose the two or three
buttons of the flannel sack coat then so
much in vogue, and, slipping out of that
and into the hall, rejoined his imper-
turbable sergeant.
II hope the lieutenant will pardon my
taking his flask. I saw it in the tent
this evening, sir, and the captain didn't
leave the key of the medical chest-with
me, leastwise.''
''You did right. That was some good
cognac they got for me in New Orleans
I hope it will revive her. Ought we not

where Riggs had been getting his
liquor, and where our coffee and sugar
has been going. He's bribed these
thieving servants of hers to steal that

get more.'
''But they must have been drinking
in the first place. Where could they
have got that liquor? Hers was gone

But here the lieutenant checked him. A
feeble voice was just audible in the adj
joining room:
''Have they gone? Have I been i'll ?

must see that young officer, at once.'
"Not tonight, mother" answered the

the sergeant after him to the dark and

BUILDING OF ROME'S COLISEUM,
Convicts Were Compelled to Do the Work
DY pope Plus VII.

Convicts Were Compelled to Do the Work
by Pope Plus VII.
The Coliseum was made to stand for
ever. If we gaze at it from the east
side, where it appears still intact, we
are forced to exclude the possibility of
IL spontaneous collapse of such a SUBJ
stantial structure. Yet the repeated
conclusions of the earth in the fifth cen
fury may have caused crack OR rent
like the one which cuts the Pantheon
on the side of the via dell Palombeila.
IL such an accident occurred in the
Pantheon in solid wall IS feet thick,
built by such all experienced archi-
tect rs Hadrian, it is even more likely
to have happened in the Coliseum, the
outer belt of it being of stones without
cement, and pierced by three rows of
arcades and one row of windows. The
equilibrium once destroyed, the re-
suits are obvious, especially if we re-
member how quickly arborescent
plants and trees take root and pros
per in the dry soil of an abandoned
building. The stones on the edges of
the crack must have been lifted or
wrenched from their sockets by the
roots wedged themselves into the
joists and acting as levers. Readers
familiar with the vignettes of the Col
iseum of the sixteenth and seventeenth
centuries will remember how exact
ly they represent this process of dis
Indignation of the ages, stone by stone.
When Plus VII. determined to build
the great buttress to support the edge
of the outer belt on the side of the via
di S. Giovanni in Laterno he was obliged
to employ convicts serving for life,
promising them reduction in the
terms of Imprisonment if they sue
ceeded i'll propping it up. The danger
was such that the forest timber used
in the scaffolding could not be removed
while the masons were progressing
with their work, but had to be left inn
bedded in the thickness of the support
ing walls.-Atlantic.

WHERE MODJESKA RESTS.

mountain, which rises behind it in ter
raced greenery. In front of the house
is an old-fashioncd, stone-curbed we'll,
from which an ''iron-bound bucket"
draws delicious]y cold water. HAM
mocks and easy chairs invite you to
inger and listen to the murmur of the
stream, the plash of the fountain, the
song OF the birds, the drone of the bee;
while you drink in deep breaths of ex-
hilarating air. and gaze your fill upon
the mountain peaks, the deep blue sky
and the ferll-draped terraces.
Beyond the house the scene becomes
more wild and rugged; the mountains
crouch closer together, leaving only
room for the road and the stream to
wind about and in and out" until the
road disappears and nature is left in
undisturbed sublimity. Count Bozenta,
with the aid of Ralph Modjeska's en-
gineering skill, has conducted water
from these mountain solitudes for do
nestle purposes and for irrigating his
orchards. In the improvements that
have been made there has been an effort
to supplement the natural beauties, but
to leave nature as undisturbed as posi-
bic, and the result is most pleasing.
The house is quaint and attractive
in it's appearance, charming in its ar
rangement and interesting throughout.
But the room about which the rest of
the house seems to cluster is large
one which serves as studio, library and
music room combined. The walls are
lined with bookcases, containing valu-
able libraries in Polish, French and
English. A fireplace of medieval de-
sign, built of hewn stone, with a high
evenings and mornings are made more
comfortable by it's open fire. Couches
in cozy corners, all organ, and a concert
grand piano, combine with pictures
and art treasures picked up in all lands
to make this room most quaint and at
tractive. The light comes through Il
stained-glass window high up in the
north gable. recall d summers even
ing when the fading light of the sun
set afterglow fell softly through the
stained-glass of the window, and the
shadows crept from their hiding places
and reached out their arms to chase the
day away; when the sweet strains of
Ave Maria filled the quaint room with
melody, and the mind with tangle
of weird fancies, that made it all seem
a picture from an old-time story book
Land of Sunshine.
