The Magic of Rome.

The story of Rome is tale of MUIR
der and sudden death, varied, chang
ing, never repeated in the same way;
there is blood on every threshold; a
tragedy lies buried in every church and
chapel, and again we ask in vain
wherein lies the magic of the city that
has fed on terror and grown old in
carnage, the charm that draws men to
her, the power that holds, the magic
that enthralls men soul and body, as
Lady Venus cast her spells upon Tam
hauser in her mountain of old. Yet
none deny it, and as centuries roll on
the poets, the men Of letters, the must
cians the artists Of all ages, have come
to her from far countries and have
dwelt here while they might, some for
long years, some for the few months
they could spare, and all Of them have
left something, verse; a line, sketch,
a song that breathes the threefold mys-
terry of love, eternity and death. =

A Wonlan's Face. |
PLEASANT FEATURES add TO HER ATTRACTIONS
This Something all Women Can Have or Easily Acquire
Simple Rules to Observe
From the Herald, New Hampton, No.

The look in woman's face is expressive
of what she is. One can easily tell whether
she is healthy, wealthy, happy or sickly.
Nothing adds more to woman's attractions
than pleasant face and this is something
all can have or easily acquire. It's simply
obtained by cleanliness, air, light, diet, exer-
else.
Many woman is continually cross, mo-
rose weak, nervous, ailing; made so by the
exactions of household cares, or the condi-
ditions incident to her sex. But back of this
and the cause of all the trouble, will be
found that the system is out of order; the
blood needs toning up. When this is done
there follows, buoyancy of feeling, and a
merry household.
The preservation of woman's graces and
charms requires care and common sense, but
no more than is bestowed upon her fine laces,
bric-a- brac, etc. The good wife keeps the
silver from tarnish, but neglects herself.
Every woman desires to be picture of
health" and she can be, for it is only mat
ter of health, rather than regular features or
of good spirits which good health denotes, no
woman is charming.
Many woman is regretfully watching the
growing pallor of her cheeks, the coming
wrinkles, the thinness that becomes more
distressing every day. The best way to over
come this and acquire the pleasant look in a
woman's face is expressed in the following
story told by Mrs. A. Fox, an esteemed resi-
dent of New Hampton, Mo.
Three years ago last April, b" she says,
had stomach trouble and afterwards female
troubles set in. L had very little appetite,

THE LADY THE WINNER.

Amusing Occurrence In an Office
Building Elevator In Chicago.
People who ride in lifts" in this
city acquire some queer experiences at
times. The calling Of the floors where
passengers desire to debark or embark
not infrequently produces some anus
ing situations. It all depends upon the
style of the person making the an
nouncement. Of course conductors
are mute participants in the game.
Here is one happening of yesterday
which is certainly out of the usual run.
Half dozen passengers entered an
elevator in a big down town Office build
ing Doctors Office there almost to the
exclusion Of other professions. One boy
with package asked to be deposited
at the second floor. A woman stood
mute while a medical man thought he
would leave at the fifth. The conductor
turned an inquiring head and the re-
naming passengers with one voice
Ginning III full chorus shouted
'.Tenth. y
"Seven up murmured gentle
voice as the car reached the indicated
floor
Two men seeking the tenth floor
glanced at each other with grins Of ap-
probation as stenographer, and a
pretty one, by the way, entered the car.
She seemed unconscious of having Gre
ated more than passing interest, but
the conductor was alive to the situation.
''The lady wins, - he muttered to
himself as he gave the lever yank and
the car shot upward again.-Chicago

could not eat meats Of any kind, and but few
| vegetables.
q I had severe backaches and was greatly
debilitated. Having no strength my nervous
system became so affected that I had ner-
vous prostration. My kidneys did not act right
and, in fact my system was out OF order ana
became seriously i'll.
g 1 tried two or three doctors without re-
ceiving any benefit. At last went to DR..
r. D. King, of Bethany, Mo-, and he gave
me three boxes of DIR. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People. took two boxes of the pills
and Immediately began to grow in strength,
the stomach trouble became much better, the
color came to my cheeks, and in every re-
spect I was considerably better. In three
months could eat anything wanted, and
had good appetite.
81 would say that DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People are the best remedy for
women to take during the turn of life to keep
them in health and to pass that age in safety"
When woman is passing beyond that age it
is crisis in her life. Then, if ever, proper
attention to hygiene should be exercised.
The attendant sufferings will disappear and
buoyant health will follow, if DIR. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People are used.
These pills exert powerful influence in
restoring the system to its proper condition.
They contain in condensed form all the
elements necessary to give new life and rich
ness to the blood. Consequently many kinds
of diseases are cured, as nearly all, are the
result of an impoverished condition of the
blood. Druggists consider these pills to be
the most effective and best selling ones Oh the
market.

ABSORBED IN WHIST.
A Game That Cost General DoEbie

day a Fortune.
Not many years ago a lannon's whist
game was played at Sudbury, VT, two

firm of Dater Thompson & Co. 1t was
something like or 10 cents corner
SO you see it was easy for man to lose
as much as 81. 80 in an afternoon. Play
began after the Sudbury dinner hour,
half past 1, and lasted until teatime.
The old ROSTERS became so wrapped mp
in the game that nothing short OF an
earthquake could have disturbed them.
Brokers in New York could do nothing
to shake the interest.
The game was played at the time Of
the historic Hannibal and St. Joe cor
ner, engineered by Kennedy, Hutchin-
son & Co., in the interest Of their client,
John Duff of Boston. Doubleday was
selling the stock short through Van
Schaick & Co., and at a quarter to on
the eventful day he received telegram
from his brokers advising him of the
situation. The game was stopped just
it aside In 30 minutes z second dis
patch arrived, was read and cast aside.
Doubleday was winning at the rate of
So cents an hour. What did he care
about Hannibal and ST. Joes Later in
the afternoon 8 third SUMMONS came
from Van Sehaick &c Co., and at 5
o'clock a fourth. Then Doubleday arose
and remarked: Gentlemen, have en-
joyed the game My winnings are ex-
actly 81. So. I must say good afternoon,
as it is necessary for me to take the first
train for New York" The next morn
ing his brokers informed him that he
could settle for 500, 000 At the time
the first telegram was sent he could
have settled for $25, 900, at the time of
the second for $50, 900, the third for
$75, 900. He had ample warning, but
in the thick of the Sudbury game of
whist he believed the rise was only a

VOCAL CULTURE.
The First Step Is Keeping the Mouth
Shut, Asleep or Awake.

Shut, Asleep or Awake.
.:Proper breathing is so essential in
voice production that it must receive
first attention, and the first requirement
is to Keep the mouth shut, writes
Katharine E. Junkermann in The Wo-
mans Home Companion.
''Of course no tone can be either
strong or pure if the lungs are cramped
so that the air cannot find room. In Or
der TO increase the size of the lung ca
pacity raise the chest and keep the body
well and strongly poised.
$50 much harm has been done to
voices by allowing the mouth to become
the regular air passage that the need Of
care cannot be too frequently empha-
sized. Besides the injury done by the
unwarmed air entering the lungs the
mucous membrane is hardened by the
saliva being dried up, and the muscles
OF the tongue and throat grow stiff and
less responsive. It is comparatively easy
to control ones breathing when awake,
but when asleep the harm goes on. To
remedy this involves slight discom
fort, but one can endure it patiently
looking to the end. Cut court plaster in
to little strips about one-fourth of an
inch in width and paste several across
the lips, placing them up and down,
with the lips held naturally. If one is
tempted to give up rather than endure
the discomfort this method involves, q

WITH A PAIR OF SCISSORS,
The Wonderful Artistic Feats Per,
formed by jeanne Koetren.

The Wonderful Artistic Feats Per-
formed by jeanne Koetren.
More than 900 years ago little girl
was born at Amsterdam, Holland,
whose name was jeanne Koetren. She
was a peculiar child in that she cared
nothing whatever for play and sport,
but found her greatest delight in MAX
ing copies of things about her, initial
ing in wax every kind of fruit and
making on silk, with colored floss, ex-
act copies of paintings, which were
thought wonderful.
But after she had become very ac-
complished in music, spinning and en-
5roidery. she abandoned all these for a
still more extraordinary art-that of
cutting. She executed landscapes, ma
r1s.e views flowers, animals and por-
traits of people Of such striking resem-
blance that she was for a time quite the
wonder OF Europe. She used white pa
pers for her cuttings, placing them over
a black surface, so that the minute
openings made by her scissors formed
the light and shade .
The car, Peter the Great, and otNexs
Of high rank paid her honor. One man
high in Office vainly offered her 1000
forms for three small cuttings. The
empress of Germany paid her 1000
forms for trophy she had cut, bearing
the arms of Emperor Leopold, crowned
with eagles and surrounded by gar
land of flowers She also cut the en-
peror's portrait, which can now be seen
in the Royal Art gallery in Vienna. A
great many people went to see her, and
she kept book in which princes and
princesses wrote their names
After she died, which was when she
had lived So years. her husband, Adrian
Block, erected a monument to her
memory and had designed upon it the
portraits of these titled visitors. Her
cuttings were SO correct in effect and SO
tasteful as to give both dignity and
value to her work and constitute her an
artist whose exquisite skill with the
scissors has never before or since been
equaled. -Lewiston Journal.

SCOTCH SIMPLICITY.

The Mason, the Budding Architect
and a Conscience Stricken Lad.
The Scotch are fond Of telling stories
which illustrate the peculiar simplicity
of mind of their country people. This
simplicity at least saves them from
wicked guile.
One of these stories relates that an
honest mason once had a contract to
build small house of stone. He came
early and began from the inside to lay
the stone, working very fast. At noon
his young son brought him his dinner,
peeping over the wall as he handed the
basket to his father With honest pride
in his eye, the mason looked over to the
boy.
'Weel, Jock, hoo dye think I'm
gettin oni" he asked.
sYe're getting on famous, feyther, T"
answered Jock, looking at the solid
wall, in which there was no break.
"But hoo dye get GOT p
The mason looked around. It was
true. He had provided the house with
no door at all, and he was on the inside.
He looked kindly and very admiringly
at the boy.
s'Mon, Jock, ye've a grand held on
yet" he exclaimed. ssYe'll be an archi-
tect yet, as sure as yer feyther's a ma
sonl''
Another story shows how unsuccess-
full as thief the rustic Scot may be.
Two young plowmen went into a gar
den at night to steal gooseberries. The
bushes surrounded plot of potatoes,
and as one of the lads CROPPED about he
got a handful of potato plums, which
he quickly put into his mouth. Then he
gasped to his comrade:
tOh, Jock, I'm poisoned For ony
sake, shove me through the hedge again,
for waudna like to dee i the aul6
