the Angels a unique interest. All
strangers go to see the only church
where the King of Italy. in his do
mains, could be married and his chill
dren baptized. The Baths of Diocletian
being public property, two noble mu-
seums have been constructed here. and
they contain statues only surpassed by
the Vatican and Capitolene collections.
Around the cloisters of the old Car
thusian Convent, and in the little Ca
setti where the old monks passed their
lives, are now placed all the antiques
dug up on public property, as well as
many of the old masterpieces of the
world-and these celebrated pieces are
without the disfiguring additions of
other statues - "Munificentia Pont.
Max" by 'the Munificence of Pontitex
Maximum So-and-So." TheN bear the
name of the artists who made them,
not of the Popes, under whose reign
they happened to be found! The I.udo-
visi collection is now kept here in the
National Museum, and one sees those
works long known, but the originals
never seen-the Juno, the Mars in re-
pose and the Rape of Prosperpine.
Hours passed quickly away in medita-
ton upon the mutations of human life;
here the old Quirinal Hill, where the
Sabines lived, in Rome'S earliest days,
and suffered the loss of their wives and
daughters, then were united to the Ro-
mans to found the strong and vigorous
republic. Then the days OF the en-
pire, when the Emperor Diocletian
built here his luxurious baths for the
pleasures of the citizens of Rome. Still
later, another Imperialism occupied the
site, and the litanies of clustered
monks and the chants of the church
were heard along these colonnades,
where pass the idle chatter of tourists.
And now, while stores and commerce
have pre-empted a portion of the cid
baths, an Italian government has taken
the rest of the site for the formation
of new collection of antiquities which
shall rival the old, and shall be the
PROPERTY of the nation. c. II. s.

A NIiceless Island.

There is small island named Papa
Little that lies in st. Magnus Bay, on
the west side of Shetland. 1t gets
its name in contradistinction to Papa
Stour, or the Big Papa, another island
in the same bay. Both names are CT
Morse origin, ard signify Priest ISL
ands, from the fact that they were
colonized by the Irish Catholics who
first introduced Christianity. There
was a solitary croft on this island at
one time, but all that now remains Is
ruined homestead, for the place is
used purely for grazing purposes. A
striking feature of the isle is the fact
that no mice can live there; and on
various occasions to test the truth of
this, mice have been caught and slipped
on the isle, but so uncongenial did its
soil prove to their existence that in a
short time they were dead. There
are instances of crofters on the main
land, when troubled with mice, going
the length Of fetching earth from this
isle and sprinkling it On the ground
before building their stacks. This is
said to have the desired effect il all
cases.-Liyerpool Daily Post.

A Preserve Closet.

A woman reader says: 81 feel en-
couraged to suggest to you two or three
household economics. The first OF
these is cupboard, or closet, in the
furnace cellar for thestorage of canned
fruit. good housewife should not
be compelled to leave these winter pre-.
parations on her pantry shelves. They
should be stored where the severe
freezing cannot reach them, and where
they can be easily got at. Then /
think household comfort depends on a
much better pantry than most women
have. There should be besides shelves,
bins for bread, cake and so forth. and
there should be tin boxes for holding
such articles as become quickly dried
tin bread box, a tin cakehox, a
tin for Goldfish, smaller one for
smoked fish. A house that is run with
proper economy should always have in
storage half dozen cereals in kegs or
half barrels, macaroni and split peas
and similar articles in quantity. 1
would have an arrangement for row
of such kegs, all of them with lids or
covers that can be lifted on hinges. A
little thought applied in the way of
providing such conveniences, will save
lot of trouble and lot of waste

When Abroad Speak English.

The English-speaking tourist who
wastes half an hour of time, temper
and energy in trying to make some
dweller in q foreign land understand
his bad French or Spanish, only to be
shocked at length by some such Ques-
tion as Cant yoI speak English?" Is
almost as common nowadays as the
track-walking tragedian. This is a
little story of his experience in Spain,
as told by 1.-The Dominic" in the La
dies Home Journal:
zone day we all entered little shop
in Madrid, and The Captain began
to speak in Spanish to the girl behind
the counter. She failed to understand,
and so he tried again. Once and again
he tried and tried, and summoned up
his whole vocabulary. AT last in his
attempt to make his meaning plain
by illustration he drew from his pock-
et-case card, and with it stroked his
chin. The girl fell into fits Of laugh
ter, and in perfect English said, Oh!
what you want is a fne-tooth comb 4"

Troublesome Stains.

The most troublesome of stains with
which the laundress has to deal are
those Of mildew. Linen that has be.
come mildewed should be thus treated:
Soap the spots, and while they are still
wet cover them with fine powdered
chalk, which should be we'll rubbed in.
Obstinate spots of mildew will yield
to the following treatment: Pour a
quart of boiling water over two ounces
OF chloride of lime, strain this through
cloth, then add three quarts of cold
water. Let the mildewed article stand
in this for an entire day, then rinse
thoroughly. Scorching stains when
not too deep may be removed by ex-
posure to the sunlight. When too OBJ
stinatc for this to be entirely successful
apply chlorine water with linen cloth.

Russia called Podpoiniki, which signi-
fies "Dwellers under the Earth" They
pledge themselves to care for all fugi-
tives from justice, vagabonds, deser-
ters from the army and other miser-
able beings, whom they hide away in
clefts or holes in rocks. Those among
their own people who fall sick are
treated in the same way, bnt are left
without food or drink of any kind.

corpses are baptized and have a new

pear spotless before the throne Of

To clean laces, particularly hand

in preserve jar filled with suds made
of good soap and water; add a little
ammonia or a spoonful of borax dis

bright sun all day, squeezing and STIR
ring occasionally. Rinse lightly but
thoroughly, lay in the double folds of
a towel wiring as dry Is possible and
then sit contentedly down with fresh
towel over your lap and pick each seal
lop and point into shape. The lace will
be just wet enough to be manageable,
and will dry looking almost as we'll as

laces that have become rusty may be
renovated by dipping them into weak
green tea, and pressing them between
newspapers on a fiat surface under a
weight after being manipulated by
the fingers into the condition in which
you wish them to remain.
/ think the mistake is usually made
of ironing laces with very hot, heavy
iron; this fattens the thread and takes
away much Of their original beauty. If

The following graphic description of
curious insectiyoIe of the bug world
Of Provence, the Prego Dieou, or
'Prayto-God," is P'ven by DR.. ]. II.
Fabre in recent volume on insect
life. Its long pale green wings, like
ample wells, its head '-praised to heav-
en-, its arms folded and crossed on its
breast, give a false resemblance to a
nun in ecstatic devotion. All the same,
it is a ferocious creature, bent on
carnage. Although not especially ia
vorite hunting ground, the workshop
Of the various burrowing insects are
often visited by it, Posted on some
bush near the burrows, it waits until
chance brings some bug returning
home, within reach, thus achieving a
double capture, catching both the bug
and its prey. its patience is often
long tried. But finally one comes
along. A sudden rustic OF half-spread
wings terrifies the victim, and then
with the suddenness of Il spring the
toothed forearm of the mantis folds
back ON an arm also toothed, and the
insect is seized between the blades of
double saw as though the blades of
wolf trap were closing on the beast
as it takes the bait. Then without
unclosing the cruel machine the mantis
gnaws little mouthfuls of its victims.
Such are the ecstacies, the prayers and
the mystic meditation of the Prego
Dieou."
