HousEKEEPINa IN ROME.
As Experienced by an American wo-
 man.

man.
 Maud Howe. in July Lippincott's.
 People who would be called we'll off in America are rich in Rome; people we should consider poor can live here with much comfort and some luxury. For in- stance. cabs cost sixteen cents a course for two people. or forty cents an hour. I pay my seamstress fifty cents Q day and my cook seven dollars a month; a clever young Italian doctor. modern. up- to-date. well educated, is quite satisfied with a dollor visit Good hotels (not the two or three most extravagant) charge twelve francs (about two dollars and forty centsl a day. Neat chick ems. eggs. fish. fruit. and vegetables are cheap; but all imported groceries are horribly dear by reason of the fifty per cent duty they must pay. Coffee costs fifty cents a pound. sugar twenty. Amer ican kerosene oil is sold In hve-gallon cans for three dollars-fancy! we pay more for petroleum than for olive oil or for wine. Postage stamps, salt. and to- bacco-all government monopolies-are sold only at tobacconists'. Milk Is not cheap; the best in Rome comes from Prince Doria's head of Jerseys. Un- fortunately. we are not on his milkman's route; ou- ->ilk. comes from the Villa Ada, w;iiel h"iongs to an American lady. a daughter of Rogers. the sculptor. It is very good milk. quite different from that we get at pinch from tho vaccaria round the corner, where in a dark, dreadful dungeon stable pale cows with long. untrimmed hoofs pass their melan- choly lives. Pompiiia is in despair be- cause we will drink our milk unboiled |; when I saw the prisoner cows I under stood why. Italy is a poor country. and poor people can live comfortably here. Rents. servants. and food are all cheap; it may be a paltry reason for abandoning one's country that one can get more pork for one's shilling elsewhere, but 1t is a potent reason. Here in Rome prices are all scaled to the different pockets, I pay less at the same shops for the same things than my rich friends pay, but some things even the rich cannot secure; certain conveniences rapid transit. steam heat. rapid delivery" express service-cannot be purchased. and. what is really serious. good schooling Is not to be had at any price, so few Ameri- cans with children to educate settle in Rome. But for men and women there is no school like Rome. Willy nilly, learn something every time I go out-of- doors, whether 1t be to the Appian Way. the Via Sacra, the Forumh. or to the Corso The yellow Tiber. the fountains. the nightingales of the Villa Medici, the ilex trees of the Borghesc, seem to whis- per the secrets of the city with the mighty rast. the mother and law-giver of nations

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

By local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear: There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition OF the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have a rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when 1t 10 entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the inHamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out OF ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an infamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by oatarrh) that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for
circulars, free.

In Austria and Germany an auto
matte system of stopping fast railroad
trains without the cooperation Of the
engine driver or the brakemen has re-
Gently been tried with satisfactory re-
suits. The apparatus consists of two
parts, one carried by the locomotive,
close to the rails, and acting directly
upon the brakes of the train, and the
other attached to the track and con-
nected with all signal points at curves
gates, and so forth. If it becomes nee
essary suddenly to stop an approach
ing train, the turning of a lever throws
I'D a connection from the track to the
apparatus under the locomotive which
governs the brakes. At the same time
an automatic signal whistle warns the
engineer Of what has been done. The
brakes can be released in q similar
manner. Between Vienna and Krems
the device has worked successfully
with trains running 90 miles an hour.
