Romance of Cupid and Psvcbe.

The loveliest face in antique sculpture
Is that of the Psyche at Naples. Psyche
was the daughter of a king and of such
incompatible beauty that she aroused
the jealousy of Venus. who charged her
son Cupid to inspire the girl with love
for some mortal.
But Cupid himself fell a victim to her
beauty and carried her off to a fairy pal
ace, where he, always invisible and re-
quiring her to promise that she would
not look on him with her mortal eyes,
visited her every night. Prompted, how
ever, by her jealous sisters and by her
own curiosity, she one night took lamp
to look upon him as he slept. A drop
of oil which she spilled Weakened him,
and he vanished After suffering long
persecution at the hands of Venus the
wrath of the goddess was appeased, and
Cupid was permitted to marry Psyche

Not long ago Gateshead schoolteacher
was giving his class a lesson in geogra-
ply, and in so doing he gave the boys an
account of the city of Durham. He en-
deavored to make his description as in
teresting as possible and pointed out that
the ancient city contained some notable
structures, mentioning its cathedral, cas-
tie and prison. A few days after the
inspector paid his annual visit and put
some geography questions to the same
class. Among others he asked:
Suppose visited the city Of Durham,
to what large building should l be likely
TO go?"
The eyes of one bright boy sparkled.
He evidently had remembered at least a
part of the lesson given a few days be-
fore aud promptly replied:

The popular idea expressed in the
phrase, vthc art of self-defense," shows
the opinion that the chief enemies man
has to defend himself from are visible
and external. But the real danger of
every man is from minute and often in
visible foes. In the air we breathe and
the water we drink are countless minute
organisms leagued against the health of
the body
The one defense against these enemies
Is TO keep the blood pure Or. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery thoroughly
puriiies the blood removing poisonous
substances and accretions. When the
blood is pure there is no harborage for
the germs of disease which find a lodg-
ing only when the blood is impure and
corrupt.

one of the best medicines on the face of the
earth" writes Mr VIM Flocter, OF Redoak
Montgomery Co, Iowa. "While in the south.

tons must be pat away, or if it is left
out of storage it has to be cleaned ev-
cry week. Now, table is always use
full unless it might he n gold table,
which, after all, is Il foolish affair. not
very useful at best. No one likes to
put anything on a gold table, and thus
the chief and admirable quality of
utility is lost.
Another good thing to know is that
table covers have gone out of fashion.
The cost of the table cover is far more
wisely invested in the extra polish on
the table top. Tie latter has been
carefully covered up ever since marble
top tables went out of fashion. They
left regular graveyard chill behind
them, and so the table spread came in
to help make some warmth in the at
mosphere.
Still another thing to know is that
the . o'clock tea table is no longer de
tanned in the parlor, but has been abol-
ished to the dining ROOM or to the Ii
brary, or to my lady's boudOir. Tea
for guests is now usually brought in
from the kitchen, where it is made on
the stove with no fuss, feathers or pa
radc. This scheme enables the hostess
to devote her time to her guests in
stead of making tea and playing with
a lot of little tea things. The tea table
should be stationed in the place where
it is used. If it is your custom to have
tea in your room at certain hour in
the afternoon or evening, then the bed
room is the appropriate place for it,
Sometimes the little tea table is kept
standing entirely equipped and ready
to fire up at moments notice and is
brought into the parlor intact from the
dining room.
The library table should be capa-
cious affair, large enough for lamp or
a drop light, and also to hold all the
new books and magazines. 1t may be
equipped with pen and ink and writing
conveniences. This table is the one
the members of the family like to gath
er about in the evening, and so it
should be large, says The New Idea
Woman's Magazine, in which occur
these items about the tables of today.
