Sides cut from solid Stone.

sides cut from solid stone.
Inside there will be twelve inches built
in the wall, with sliding marble panels to
cover them. Stained glass windows will
give the building the appearance of a
chapel.
The inches are built one above each
other. and facing the east will be two
sarcophagi, which are to hold the bodies
of Mr.. Rouss and his wife. Immediately
above them is a beautiful stained glass
window, designed by one of the foremost
artists in New York These sarcophagi
are designed after those in the Campo
Santo IN Genoa.
The floor of the mausoleum will be one
piece of solid polished granite, and the
doors will be huge affairs of solid bronze.
Underneath the mausoleum there is to be
a crypt with twelve more inches. 1t will
be entered by blind staircase from the
outside This staircase will be hidden
from view by solid bluestone, which
will be covered with sod, as it is not in
tended to use the crypt until the upper
part of the mausoleum is filled.
Altogether this tomb will contain more
than. 500 tons of granite. In the elegant
simplicity of its design it will have no
equal outside of Genoa Athens or Flor
ence.
Several years ago Mr.. Rouss erected in
Winchester, to the memory of his son,
what it still considered the finest monu-
ment in the South. 1t is on lot adjoin-
ing that on which the nausoleum is to be
constructed.
Mr.. Charles Broadway Rouss has also

of which the New York correspondent of
the Baltimore American says:

fortunately, the rush and hurry of modern
business life will not permit the average
man to take frequent outdoor exercise.
In lieu of a life spent partly in the woods
and on the water, man must find some
kind of medicine to tone up and invigorate
him and incite the vital organs of his body
to the faithful performance of their normal
functions. DR.. Pierce's Golaln Medical
Discovery is the only thoroughly effective
medicine for this purpose. It's principal
action IS upon the organs that feed the
the liver. It facilitates the flow of the di-
gestive juices IN the stomach and the
production of healthy chyle in large guam
titles in the large iutestines. 1t invigoTates
the liver and purifies and enriches the
blood. When the blood IS rich and pure
the old, inert tissues throughout the body
are torn down and replaced by new and
healthy flesh tissues and nerve hbers. If a
mans blood is filed with the rich, pure
elements of health, he can get along With a
scauty amount of exercise. Disease germs
can gain no foothold in his system.
