TONSILITIS!
Can be cured by using
Mrs. Joe Persons Remedy.

For a long time my son was troubled
with so ne bronchial trouble which,
every time he took cold, settled in his
throat and produced something like
tensilitis. The toDsils would enlarge
and swell SO that he had great trouble
to swallow anything, and could take no
solid food Last Spring he took half
dozen bottles of Mrs. Joe Persons
Remedy, and gargled his throat with
the Wash. and it cured him, he has
never had a spell since.

Millions Wives and Daughsers.

OF Millions three wives and his rela-
tions with them enough has been writ

wife or Millions daughter. He was
stern, he was austere. he was self CEN
tered; his impeccable strength was pur-
chased by a sublime aud monotonous
eSoism, which is the name they give to
selfishness in poets. Very chill must
have been the life of his girls in that
Puritan house. reading to the inwrapped
Puritan father from languages they did
not understand and taking down from
his lips poetry they understood still less
Milton found them undutiful. Poor lit
tie "undutiful" daughters! Fathers had
terrible conceptions Of duty in those
days. Did any one ever want to know

would have yearDed for the godly com
pany Of the great Christian poet. "

should be that Shakespeare was not q

GEM SCULPTURE.


eomething About the Making o8 Canees
and Intaglios.
Gem sculpture, or lithoglyptics, il
an art Of great antiquity, having been
practiced by the Babylonians. the Egyp-
tians, the Hebrews and the Greeks.
Afterward it sank into decadence, but
in the fifteenth century was revived in
Italy It is an art that calls for great
elegance of taste and much skill, for ON
a small stone, generally precious, de-
signs are represented either IL raised
work, as canoes, or by being cut below
the surface, as intaglios
To canoes the term minute sculp-
ture" is indeed applicable, for since
the days Of Greek art celebrated statues
have been copied in this way. The first
intaglios were the scarabs, or beetle
shaped signets, worn in rings by the
Egyptians from q very remote period
| One side Of the stone was shaped like q
| beetle, the other side was fiat, and the
name of the king or wearer was cut in
to it. A hole was then drilled In the
stone from end to end, and through 1t q
strong wire was passed to hold it in
position in ring. The fat or seal side
was always worn next to the finger. but
when used as a seal it was turned.
In the art Of gem sculpture thu
Greeks excelled all predecessors The
Etruscans, contemporary with thu
Greeks, also attained excellence In gen
cutting, and it is said that ION thes,
early gems Of Etruscan or Greek Origin
may be read as in a book the forms o
their religion and the subjects of popu
lar interest in politics. song and fabl
for centuries.
i Under Augustus gem sculpture -four
ished among the Romans, many of then
possessing canoes and intaglios Of grea
value, and cabinets of costly gems be

sent six cabinets Of rare gems to tn

taglios in the British museum. Anon
the finest Of them accessible to the pull

Ancient Pueblo Buflders.

A0C1e0S tO0OlO 0U1l0e18s
The ancient pueblo builder. like his
modern descendant, was 20 completely
under the dominating influence Of his
geographic environment that from SIM
liar conditions he almost automatically
worked out similar results. In the mat
ter Of a site for his home. however, he
had some latitude, and the choice he
made reflected something Of the social
conditions under which he lived. Thus
1t is probable that in the earliest times
the people lived in small villages locat-
ed ON the edges Of valleys or near the
mouths Of fertile fat bottomed canyons
They lived o quiet, peaceful existence,
depending principally on the soil for
the means Of subsistence, but not de-
spising the harvest Of grass seeds and
wild nuts which were at hand and glad
to break the even, placid course of ex-
istence by periodical hunting expedi'
| tiops to the neighboring mountains fo1
| deer and oat into the great plains fol

In the course Of time, however, Other
and more savage tribes came to the re
gion. and these preyed upon the priol
occupants CT the country, who were In
dustrious and provident and accumu
lated stores against possible bad seasons
It is doubtful whether there were an.
pitched battles or prolonged sieges, bu
