Lombard Architecture.

The Lombard style of architecture,
to which our Norman is allied, placed
the support conspicuously in the wall.
OF great thickness, with large blank
spaces nnpierced and prominent, the
walls 1.lainly tell their work and their
capacity to do it. The ornamentation
is subservient to the idea. Shallow
recesses and paneling bring the sur
face of the wall into prominence,
Where they are pierced for window or
door the beveling and molding in per-
spective increase the idea of strength.
The arcadirg points to the depth. The
circular arch indicates the solidity of
elie wall above. The circular windows
We're adapted to emphasize the notion
of power.
In the Egyptian the wall is unno-
tced, in the Greek 1t receded from
view, in the Byzantine 1t played no
part. in the Moresque it is chopped up
and scattered. but in the Lombard,
without buttress or plaster, it asserted
itself as the main element of support.

The Worst Form.

Multitudes are singing the praises of
kodol, the new discovery which is
making so many sick people well and
weak people strong by digesting what
they eat, by cleansing and sweetenine
the stomach and by transforming their
food into the kind of pure rich blood
that makes you feel good all over. Mrs.
Cranfll, of Troy, l. T.. writes; For a
number of years l was troubled with
indigestion and dyspepsia which grew
into the worst form. Finally l was in
duced to use Kodol and after using
four bottles l am entirely cured. /
heartily recommend Kodol to all suf-
ferers from indigestion and dyspepsia.

I spent some time in reviving her,
and when she finally opened her eyes
was more relieved than had been
when I jerked her from the back of
the mad runaway. She closed them
again Immediately, but there was
look Of gratitude in them that repaid
me for all my trouble and danger.
When she finally sat up on the
grassy bank and said that she was all
right, l excused myself from further
expressions Of gratitude by pretending
to go back to look after her horse. I
never was a kind to receive thanks
from any one. 1t always embarrassed
me and left me speeches..

She persisted in talking about my
brave deed all the way home. First I
tried to change the subject by making
irrelevant replies and suggestions and
then by total silence. But she could
not be stopped or turned to another
subject. For the tenth time she said
seriously and earnestly:

popular esteem have been sure and
