CUPID'S FOOD.
After a Bump on the Pike.

No one expects true love ever to run perfectly smooth, and it doesn't.
 A Texas girl was thrown from her horse. and how food lighted the situa- tion she best can tell. --
 Seven years ago last March I was thrown from my horse and although I did not seem much hurt at the time in a few months I began to suffer, gradu- ally growing so weak that I had to stop school and never felt we'll I had no appetite and was so nervous could not do work of any kind. Five years ago became engaged to be married as soon as my health was better, but we waited and waited for years and there was no change. t.=...r
 About New Years year ago said We will wait three months longer and If I am not lots better we will part for ever for it seemed that I was doomed to suffer the rest of my life. A few weeks later friend asked me if I had ever tried Grape-Nuts food and begged me to get a package. I did this not having any hopes of it helping me, but before I had used the first package I felt stronger than had for long time.
 ..So I continued the use of Grape Nuts twice day with plenty of cream and now the United States does not hold gold enough to buy my health and the happiness that has become mine be- rause Of this health. It was not long before was entirely, well and strong once more and last September l was married and am the happiest young woman in the world and all of it is the outcome of using the food Grape-Nuts.

EGYPTIAN ARCHITECTURE.
Sir MARTIN Conway Describes the Earli-
est Stone Buildings.

From the Paris Messenger.
AT the meeting of the Royal Institute of
British Architects, held the other evening
in London, Sir Martin Conway read a paper
on 1.-THE Beginning of the Egyptian Style
of Architecture" The lecturer said the
ECyptian style appeared to have arisen
about the time of the fourth dynasty and
to have rapidly developed during the fifth
Until recently it was commonly beleved
that the early dynastic Egyptians employed
wood for small and costly edifices. In fact
however, no such Egyptian wooden archi-
lecture ever existed. The earlier Egyptian
stone buildings had no architectural feature
whatever. 1t was mere building, not archi-
lecture. Down to the middle of the fourth
dynasty the craft of building in stone had
been carried to a high degree of perfection,
but it had. developed no architectural art.
The lecturer described the characteristic
features of a stone building in the devel-
oped Egyptian style. Discussing the ques-
ton as to when the translation of all the
features and principles of Egyptian arch1-
lecture invented by the mud builders, into
stone took place, the lecturer said that
the well-known sarcophagUs of khufuankh
at Cairo threw a welcome light on that
problem. The fifth dynasty had left them
several actual examples of stone architec-
ture containing decorative features.
Throughout the period when true stone ar
chitecture arising Egypt pyramid
DullQlnS Stedully loSt It's cnaTm 1Or the
kings, the reason evidently being that, as
time advanced, less of the mass of human
energy under the command of the king was
devoted to pyramid building and more to
building of some other sort.
The lecturer next considered the character
of the divine temples of the old empire, and
referred to the evolution brought about in
temple building by changes in religious
ceremonial and by the gradual ousting Of
the laity from the temple services and the
rise of the priestly caste. Finally, he con-
sdered the character of the sculptured
decoration applied to old empire temples
and the system of its distribution.
Concluding, he said that Egypt had i'm
pressed the prestige of it's mighty name as
a country of great buildings and noble art
on the imagination of succeeding genera
tons. They were only now beginning to
realize that the reputation of Egypt as an
ancient artistic nation, so far from being
exaggerated, did not attain the level it de-
served. The lecturer was thanked for his
paper.
