G. H. CHApPELL, GRANT PARK, Ill.
For several years my health was
miserable. I suffered the most dread
full pains, and was almost on the verge
of insanity. l consulted one of the
best physicians in New York, and he
pronounced my disease fbroid tumor,
advising an operation without delay,
saying that it was my only chance for
life. Other doctors prescribed strong
and violent medicine, and one said /
was incurable, another told me my
only salvation was galvanic batteries,
which tried, but nothing relieved me.
One day a friend called and begged me
to try Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound. / began its use and took
several bottles. From the very first
bottle there was wonderful change
for the better. The tumor has disap-
peared entirely and my old spirits have

Evolution of the Lover.


In our romantic years we spent sor-
roWful last days with Bruce, wept over
THE Scottish Chiefs" and devoured
the pages of Eugene Aram," Paul
Clifford and My Novel," says a
writer in the Atlantic Monthly" 1t
was in the reading of these thrilling
pages that our ideals of lovers remodel
ed themselves. We forgot our earlier
hero, the prince of the fairy tales, and
became temporarily convinced tha.
Kenelm Chillingly and the dashing
Clifford We're ideal lovers.
The time came later when, rejecting
upon the ways of lovers as revealed in
our reading, we asked ourselves if, at
ter all, even so divine thing as love
making may not be influenced by en-
Vlronment, time, social conditions, and,
more material than all, by climate it
self. Take the lovers of the days of
Dante. Did they not swoon from the
very violence of their feelings, while
according to Chaucer, the suitors of
England, after the fashion of Ellen
Montgomery, fell to weeping the mo-
ment their eyes happened upon the OBJ
Ject of their devotion? The Eliza
bethan lovers, true to the spirit of their
age, sang love songs to the music of the
lutte. They composed verses to Phylli-
da's eyes, and wrote lyrics to Clorinda
Maying.
With the passing Of hair powder and
knee buckles went the last of the ro-
mantle wooers. To-day lovers are en-
tirely tailor made Of late, if again
we base our conclusions on the novels,
love making has taken on a new and
cherries phase. Each lover emulatina
the early example of Narcissus, fails
in love with his or her own image, ex-
poets the other to- do likewise and sets
about wooing with that end in view

vision than a procession of modern low

Students of architecture may have
often wondered why the two towers OF
Notre Dame, at Paris, were not Of the
same size. A writer in one of the Eng
lish magazines has found rather curl
Gus explanation. It appears that when
the cathedral was built it was the
cathedral of a suffragan Bishop who
was not entitled to two towers of equal
dight, and for centuries the Bishop OF
Paris was suffragan to the Bishop Of
Sens.

Empire, the Kingdom of Belgium and
that OF Greece are not subject TO the
suzeralnty or the great Powers of Eu-
rope, since the latter have placed them
selves collectively under the obligation
or protecting both the autonomy and
the Integrity of these States, and this
1orm OF protection is one OF the distinc-
tive marks of suzerainty Nor must
1t be forgotten that in the Middle Ages
the Popes exercised Il species of more
or less honorary suzerainty over all the
then existing Emperors and Kings.
king John of England did homage to
the Legate of the Pope in token of
the subsection of his crown to the Holy
See. During the interregnums of the
German Empire it was the Pope who
conferred the investiture of its fiefs.
The Kingdom of Naples was still at the
close OF the eighteenth century subject
to Papal suzerainty, while Cuba and
Porto Rico We're held until last year
by Spain as fiefs of the Papacy which
was theoretically the suZerain of King
Alfonso in respect to his West Indian
possessions. 1t speaks we'll for the en-
hghtenment and craftsmanship of Leo
XIII. that he should have resisted the
pressure brought TO bear upon him by
the Sacred College to invoke this me-
dieval suzerainty of the Holy See over
Cuba and Porto Rico. at the moment
