no new thing. The fall OF the cam
panlle has only called attention to the
conditions the presence of which has
been vaguely realized for many years.
The destruction of this magnificent
tower has caused such distinct loss
to the world of art that people begin
to realize how precious are those which
nre left.
1t is gratifying to note that most
strenuous efforts are now being made
for the preservation of some of these
structures. And In the case Of many
1t is full time. The Londoner hns long
secuted the idea that his own greatest
monument. st. Paufs Cathedral. was
in peril. but recent examinations show
1t to be In most dangerous condition.
The world at large is perhaps more
interested In st. Paul's than In any

1t Is one OF the best-known landmarks
Of the Middle Ages. The Order of the
Golden Fleece was founded In its shad-

architects can prevail. 1t. too must sue

The Sphinx, too. Is fast growing
weary. For 5000 years this Egyptian
mystery with the body of lion and
the face of woman has remained at
the borders of the Libyan desert.
But she. too, is beginning to show
signs of age. having at last grown
weary of propounding her riddle to the
sands Of the desert and the vast null
titudes who daily visit her. coming by
trolley from Cairo, The Sphinx has
seen many empires rise and flourish
and decay. but unless rejuvenation, as
mysterious as her own origin and ex-
istence, soon sets In, she, too. will dis

her will be gone forever the only
chance of ever obtaining an answer to
the riddle which no one has yet been
able to find out.
Church of ST. John.
Like st. Paul's Cathedral, In London,
the Church Of st. John Lateran, in
Rome. is in danger Of falling to pieces.
The carved and gilded roof is liable at
any time to tumble down upon the
heads of the worshipers. st. Johns Is
the mother and head OF all the church
es. or all the original churches built
by Constantine In 500. the baptistry Of
ST. Johns is the only piece of archi-
lecture that still remains. The church
itself has had career of many disas-
tiers. But the calamaties which have
hitherto befallen It have been due to

other of the famous landmarks now
standing simply because 1t Is better
known. Others are of much greater
age and perhaps of greater sentimental
architectural value. but the circle of
those who know them Is comparatively
small. Decay touches all things aud
the wonder Is. not that the relies we
so long have revered are going to ruin,
but that they have withstood the raw
ages of time as long as they have.
How long they will stand when they
are restored" as far as 1t Is in the
power of man to restore them. Is a
question that nobody cares to attempt
to answer.
Tooth of Time.
Unpleasant thoughs the realization
may be, there Is no longer use In try
ing to conceal the fact that the ancient
landmarks of the world are going to
ruin. Some indeed have already sue
cumbed to the destroying hand of time
and others are rapidly following. When
Somers Clark, architect of the mighty
mitted the fact that the venerable edi-
flee was fast falling to pieces. he re-
ceived n sharp reprlmand from the
worthy dean for having thus spoken.
There is something sacred about the
very name of ancient monuments and
public buildings. About each clings
remembrances. of days long past-days
OF which we might know little were 1t
not for them. And the news that the
historic old structures are all at last
giving evidence that the burden of
years cannot much longer ibe borne Is
received all over the world with sor-
row. st. Paurs must at once be
patched up. or 1t will soon share the
fate of the Campanile of St Marks.
The general uneasiness over st.
Paurs Cathedral was for a time quiet
ed by Canon Newbold. He declared
that 1t was positively wicked to sug-
gest even the immediate probability of
danger Detailing the artistic church
which Sir Christopher Wren, the skill
full architect. began In 1876.
But the opinions of the experts can
not be galnsaid. st. Paurs Cathedral

1t took thirty-fiye years to build this
old landmark, the cost of 1t being paid
by a tax ON coal. Sir Christopher
Wren himself was contented with
salary of $1,000 year. He was the
only architect employed. II is no fault
of HIS that the cathedral Is now In
danger of tumbling over. He could
not foresee what would happen.
A century after this church was
built, sewer was run through near
enough to draw the moisture from the
coil, ON which the sacred edifice stands.
When he built the church. with the
moisture there. the ground was hard
enough TO support so heavy n weight
at st. Pauls for all time. Unless the
cathedral be put on an entirely new
foundation, which would cost not less
than 100000. 1t will share the same
fate as the Campanlle.

tie cracks are large enough to allow
ANY one standing on Its roof 10 see

below. And every day the great build
ing Is spreading wider and wider
apart. The portico Is directly over the
great entrance to the cathedral.

CHAPTER IN.

1t was not without sigh of regret
that Helen Montauban observed the pain
which she was forced to inflict on one
who loved deeply and truly. Francis Egg
erton had inspired her with a sentiment
of the most earnest esteem; but the
knowledge of the depth of his regard for
her had almost decided her, at first, to
break off an intimacy which, on his part,
claimed something more than the name Of
friendship. This. however, seemed too
harsh a measure. She could not persuade
herself TO go so far. She liked him sin
cerely; her regard for him was too real
too deep, TO permit her thus absolutely
to relinquish the occasional society of
Lord Egerton; while she trusted to cure
him, in time, of the passion, which she
felt too well, from consciousness of her
own preference in a different quarter, she
should never be able TO return.
Since his arrival just after Rose had
become an inmate of the Chateau Montau-

natural thing in. the world for young people to accustom themselves to lying down or lounging on a sofa because they think they are tired or not we'll. Much So-called invalidism is simple laziness. fostered and indulged from childhood.
 There. is great danger that young girls who are delicate while growing up, and lounge around the house and lie down whenever they feel the least bit out of sorts, will form a habit of invalidism when they reach maturity. How often do we see such "brace up" at once when anything happens which interests or excites them! An ninvitatiOn to a reception or a ball, or any other pleasant social function, acts like tonic. For the time being an instan- taneous cure is effected. They are as we'll as anybody until after the enter tainment.
 Indulgent mothers are frequently to blame for this physical and mental laziness it is nothing more,-On the part of their daughters. A lounge or sofa is a positive curse in many home, because it is such temptation to lie down and s1ccumb to trifling suggestions of illness or the least in- disposition. A habit of giving in whenever you "don't feel like it'' is fa- tai to all achievement, and ruinous to self-discipline, self-poise, and nobility and dignity of bearing.
 When some one asked noted opera singer if she was ever sick and unable to fill her engagements, she replied: "No, we singers cannot afford to be sick. We must fill our engagements; we are not rich enough to give up."
 Actors and actresses, as we'll as sing CTS, are compelled by the necessities of their profession to set aside personal feelings and keep faith with the pub lie, no matter whethers they feel we'll or not. They simply cannot spare themselves even when they are really sick! not to speak of giving way to moods or fancied ailments. What would become of their reputation, their careers, if they should fail to ap' pear in public every time they ''don't feel like it."

Few people realize that their ail- ments are largely self-induced. They get into habit of not feeling well.
 If they get up in the morning with a slight headache or some other trifling indisposition, instead of trying to rise above their condition, they take posi- tive pleasure:in expatiating upon their feelings ito any one who will listen.
 Instead of combating the tendency to illness hy filling the lungs with pure fresh air, they dose themselves with "headache tablets'' or some other pat ent specific warranted to cure what ever ill they think. they are suffering from. They begin to pity themselves, and try to attract pity and sympathy from others. .UnconsciOusly, by detail ing and dwelling upon their symptoms, they re-enforce the first simple suggss- tions of illness by whole army of thoughts and fears and images of dis ease, until they are untitted to do a days work in their homes or office.
