 "For many years was afflicted with a milk leg, and few years ago it broke out in sore and spread from my foot to my knee. suffered great agony. It would burn and itch all the time and discharge a great deal. My health was good with the exception of this sore. I tried great many kinds of salve, but some would irritate the sore so that I could hardly stand the pain. I could not go near the fire without suffering intensely. Some one sent me papers containing testimonials of cures by Hoods Sarsaparilla, and told my husband would like to try this med icine. He got me bottle and found it helped me. I kept on taking it until my limb was completely healed. I cannot praise Hoods Sarsaparilla enough for the great benefit it has been to me. It cleanses the blood of all impurities and leaves it rich and pure." MRS. ANNA E. EAKEN, Whittlesey, Ohio.

REMARKABLE ROMAN ANTIQUI-
TIES


All archaeological Rome has been set
by the ears by the discovery of Profes-
sor Marucchi. One archaeOlogist inter-
prets II in one way, another In another.
and hardly two can be found who agree
so that the unscientihc person may be
excused for being in a condition OF
hopeless confusion. To gain some light
on this vexed question it is, perhaps.
best to listen first TO the statement of
Professor Marucchi, the well-known
archaeOlogist of the Vatican. Il know
my opponents argue that the design
discovered by me represents rope walk
ers, and is, therefore, much lessened in
Importance, but | am more convinced
that my studies have not led me astray.
All the world knows Of the caricature
by a pagan Of Christ crucifed, to whom
he sacrilegiOusly gave asses ears. This
carieature, which was found in what
were the soldiers quarters on the Pala-
tine. is, perhaps, the most interesting
antiquity in Rome, dating, as il does,
from the time of Septimius Severus. in
the third century. Near where this
was found" continued Professor Ma
rucchi, II discovered on Tuesday week
a Greek inscription which is the reply
Of the Christian to the pagan soldier. It
runs. Protection comes from God, who
Is our King My idea is that this should
complete the other On the following
Friday / was still more fortunate. In
the palace of Tiberitus, near the locality
known as the 'BriGge OF Caligula,' |
saw a rough design, which at once at
tracted my attention. II is about half
a yard square. .surmunted by an inscrip-
ton, and Is, / am convinced. a Calvary
depicting the Crucifixion."
Other archaeologists maintain that
this is no new discovery This graffito
was already known and had been pre-
viously studied, Professor Marucchi
only giving 1t a new Interpretation. Up
to the present this graffito has been
believed to be a representation of rope
walkers, and the names inscribed below
have been considered to be their names,
and not those of soldiers. Professor
Marucchi, to support his view points to
the strange coincidence that one of tho
/ rope walkers is called Pilatus. but"
his opponents retort, this word has al
ways been read Filetus In the same
way the few words deciphered Of the
inscription imply that the matter treat
ed is love subject, for they bear the
! Interpretation. One who cannot sleep
for thinking of his mistress. And even
/ in regard to the name Crestos (Christ) 4,
hundreds and hundreds OF inscriptions
are full Of this name. without referring
at all to the founder Of the Christian
religion"
And so the discussion goes on and
will continue until Professor Marucchi
publishes a full exposition Of his dis
covery. Then it may be possible to es-
tahlish whether he is right OF wrong

ANSWERS THAT WON.

A long list might be given OF men
who have owed their advancement I'm
life to a clever answer given at the
right moment. An.acc0unt Of how two
of them managed 1t may beapprOpriate-
ly given just now. One of Napoleon's
veterans, who survived his MASTER
many years, was wont to recount with
great glee how he once picked up the
emperor's cooked hat at n review, when
the latter, without noticing that he was
a private. said carelessly, Thank you,
captain In what regiment, sire?'
instantly inquired the quick witted
soldier. Napoleon. perceiying his mis-
take, answered with smile, In my
guards, for ] see you know how TO DO

ceived his commission next morning.
"a somewhat similar anecdote is re-
lated of Marshal Suwaroff, who, when

TWO WAR RoMANcFs

Two gentlemen, each the head OF great
organizations and eX-Ofiicers OF the
late war, were sitting in a dining car
on the way TO Washington. Shortly
before reaching Maysville one Of the
twain said We'll do 1 remember this
section of the country, because 1 pass
ed through here with our command in
the rebellion and went to Somerset,
KY, where we remained for quite a
while. And, by the way, there was
quite a little romance connected with
our stay in that city / met there a
very loyal young woman, one who
was unusually interested in the Union
army. We had great many talks and
pleasant sessions. In fact, ] became
deeply infatuated with her, but she was
too much welded to her family to think
of anything else"
AT this time the elder Of che two
who had been reciting his experience
noticed that his companion eyed him
with considerable interest.
"YOu say SOmerset?"
"Yes. sir" replied the stouter CT the
two, 1t was Somerset"
Thereupon the younger asked a few
questions as to the name and descrip-
tion Of the young woman, and suddenly
stated. 81, toO, had romance there.
Our command followed yours, and I
met this loyal young woman and pass
| ed through the same degrees as you
did and met the same reply.7
And then and there the two gray
haired officials agreed ON their return
to the city to pay visit to Somersei
and call upon the lady, still single. whc
had played such a prominent part in
| their early life. although both had
been intimate for many years without
