The Camphor Eater.

It is surprising what number OF
camphor eaters there are among the
well to do classes. The idea seems to
prevail that this gum, taken In small
and regular doses, gives peculiarly
clear creaminess Of complexion, and
scores Of young women buy 1t for this
purpose. The habit Is, moreover, very
difficult to cast of, for camphor pro-
duces a mild form Of exhilaration and
stupefaction, and In many instances
where very large doses have been swal-
lowed the habit has become a sort OF
slavery.
These camphor eaters all have a
dreamy, dazed and very listless air.
and In most Of them there Is an ever
present longing to sleep or at least to
rest. Extreme weakness generally fol-
lows the taking Of regular doses, and l
have seen cases where 1t has been al
most difficult to tell the effects from
those Of alcohol. AS to the complexion,
If a CHASTITY pallor be an improvement
camphor certainly produces it-Chnic.

The Appfan Way

The famous Appian way, mentioned
by almost every Roman writer, con
nected the Eternal City with all parts
Of south Italy. For many miles from
Rome the space on each side was filled
with sepulchers, many Of them Of per
sons distinguished in history. To have
a sepulcher on the Appian way was
equivalent to being buried in Green
wood, in New York. or Pere la Chaise
IN Paris.

At present the bustard is only winter wanderer to Britain, but there was time when it haunted Il English shires and was known also in the Merse of Berwick shire and the open area of the Lothi- ans.

 "To the above estimate must be added 5 per cent as profit for the general contractor and as margin to protect him against loss by ac- cidents, miscalculations, errors of setting out the works, etc., making in all total estimate of $1,496, ,737.
 "In the above estimate nothing has been included but the building proper, the question of whether the approaches and terraces are or are not part of the building being matter that your board can readily decide. The cost of completing these terraces and approaches I es- innate at $70,627.
 The report is quite lengthy, but the most important features fol- low.
 "In my opinion the building if properly redesigned, need not cost over one million dollars and yet could be placed upon the present foundations, but better result from that expenditure can be had if the building occupies smaller area, in which case by skillful planning, much of the existing work might be utilized. In other words, you can cut in quality of work or in size of building, but I advise a smaller building of high quality, yet large enough for the needs of the state, rather than one of great size and inferior quality. Unless compelled by the law your commission should not insist on utilizing all the ex- isting work since a better result can be had by adapting the present foundations to building planned with the economics of space advised in my report
 "The general plan adopted is well known and approved type for state capitols. It consists of great rotunda for the circulation of the public, centrally placed, and ex- pressed on the exterior by means of dome of sufficient importance to dominate the entire mass and wing buildings connecting the central mass with the end masses in which the upper and lower legis- lative chambers, each expressed on the exterior by a dome low enough not to conflict with the central feature. The plan in general in my opinion is well suited to the needs of state of increasing natural prosperity and advancing intellec- tual standard. Broadly speaking then the state may be said to have secured design worthy of erection and distinctly superior to that of the average state capitol"
 ''It is obvious from section 10 of the act that it will be the duty of MT. Mann to remodel the drawings so that building can be constructed in accordance with them at a cost not to exceed $1, 1,O00,OOO."
 The board referred the plans back to Architect Mann with instructions to modify the same so as to bring the cost of the structure within the million dollar limit.
