daughter Of Lucy Without, the col

VeStaI VIRGINS.

Oy1G Tells us that the first temple Of
Nesta at Rome was constructed of wat
tied walls and rooted with thatch like
the primitive huts of the inhabitants.
1t was little other than a circular COW
cred fireplace and was tended by the
unmarried girls of the infant commu-
nifty. 1t served as the public hearth
OF Rome, and on it glowed uneXtin-
gulshed throughout the year, the sa-
cred fire which was supposed to have
been brought from Troy and the con-
tinuance of which was thought to be
linked with the fortunes of the city.
The name Vesta is believed to be de-
rived from the same root as the San
Skirt was, which means ''to dwell, to
nhabit,' and shows that she was the
goddess of home, and home had the
hearth as it's focus. A town, a state,
is but large family, and what the do
nestle hearth was to the house that
the temple Of the perpetual fire, be-
came to the city. Every town had it's
vesta, or common hearth, and the col
onies derived their fire from the moth
er hearth
Should a vestal maiden allow the sa-
cred fire to become extinguished she
was beaten by the grand pontiff till
her blood flowed, and the new fire was
soiemnly rekindled by rubbing togeth-
er of dry wood or by focusing of suns
rays. The circular form and domed
roof of the temple of Vesta were sur
vivals of the prehistoric huts of the
aborigines, which were invariably

Horrible Murder of a Wife.

Bloomington, Ills, May 14.-Merritt
Chism, wealthy farmer living in
White Oak township, murdered his
wife in the presence of his whole fam
lily by stabbing her with a pocket
knife and then beating her brains out

kill himself by jumping into a WELL

NORWOOD FIEND IN FRANCE.
Absinthe Is Constantly Transforms
ing Thousands of WOrkmen
Into Criminals.

AS whisky is the curse of Scotland,
absinthe is the curse of France. And
while unadulterated whisky is slow
and relatively harmless in it's effects,
absinthe is a deadly poison and ex-
acts a terribly rapid retribution, says
a London newspaper. Pass along the
Paris boulevards any evening at the
"absinthe hour" and remark the bev-
erage in three-fourths of the glasses
before the men sitting outside the
cafes. You will know it by its pun
gent odor of aniseed.
The habtual absinthe drinker,
though as a rule he confines himself
to one "Pernod' at a sitting, is not
content with one per day. Before
dejeuner, during the afternoon, be-
fore dinner and in the evening, after
work is over. absinthe is the favorite
drink with thousands of workmen in
Paris. What is the result? Not so
much that they get hopelessly intox-
icated as that they gradually become
besotted and brutalized, and finally,
when the insidiOus, relentless poison
has finished its work, lose their rea-
son and end as criminals or madmen.
What is true of the Paris workman
indeed, of the workmen in all large
towns-is doubly true of the Paris
ioafer. Constantly worshiping at the
shrine of the wormwood tiend, he in
variably succumbs in the end, and
when man has become a slave to
absinthe there is nothing of which
he is not capable.
OF course Frenchmen also consume
other varieties of alcohol Rum,
brandy. vermouth and numerous sim
ilar and dissimilar digestiyes, are
freely taken. The Partisan seems to
be always drinking, yet he seldom
gets drunk.

LUCK in MoLEs.
One Firm BelIever Explains Her The-
ory TO n Friend In the
TurLish Bath.

They were in the Turkish bath
house and loosely y-draped sheet ex-
posed a mole on the left shoulder of
the blond one. That started the con-.
versation, relates the New York Sun.
Have it removed" she echoed in
response to the suggestion of her
dark friend. "Well. not just now 1t
would be somewhat of trial. Ill adj
nit if it was little higher up, but
my evening gowns are not cut down
to it yet.
Even if fashion decreed that they
should be, l would hesitate about
parting with it. Have you one? No?
Well, perhaps that has nothing to do
with the case after all. l don't know
that ordinary moles have any effect
on the fortunes of their .possessors,
but there is something about this one
of mine that makes it very dear to
me. Oh, there's no secret about it
and don't mind telling you.
"You know I am quite superstitious
about many things. Well, this mole
is not the first to appear in our fam
lily. Ia fact, my great-grandfather,
my grandfather and my father each
had one, and as there were no sons
of my parents the family mole seems
to have descended to me. None of
the other girls has one.
"What happened to my great
grandfather's mole does not appear
in the family records and he probably
kept IL to the end of his days. Not
so with my grandfather. He yielded
to personal vanity and got rid of it
in the old-fashioned way by tying a
silk thread around it. Luck promptly
turned against him and he died poor
my father started in life with
little or nothing, but was successful
in a central New York business, and
while still young man amassed a
comfortable fortune. About this time
some new electrical treatment for
the cure of skin blemishes was wide
ly advertised and my father fell a vic
tim to it and had his mole taken off.
Shortly afterward he decided to give
up his business in New York to enter
what looked like a more promising
field in California.
1--WE all moved out there and the
country and climate were admirable,
but business was not and complete
failure followed. Of course, you may
think that the removal of the mole
had nothing to do with this fact, but
I am firmly convinced that it had all
to do with it.
"Now, I have been fairly prosper
Gus in my limited career, and 1 in
tend to avoid the errors of my an
cestors and cling to my mole"
And the dark one nodded her head
in silent approval.
