In0r0 were many smaller odlnc0S am
isolated apartments inside the temple
walls, for the accommodation of in
Vulnerable priests who officiated in the
various services. All the plate, orna-
mehts, and utensils of every description
used about the temple were of solid
gold OF silver. Twelve immense vases
of silver stood on the floor of the great
salon, filled with grains of Indian corn,
grown in the temple gardens and on
the sacred islands of Lake Titicaca;
and Spanish historian who saw these
vases asserts that leach was as high
as good lance, and so large that two
men with outspread arms could barely
encompass them" The censers for
the perfumes, the ewers which held the
water for sacrifices, the pipes which
conducted it through underground
channels into the buildings, the reser-
voirs that received it, even the agricul-
tural implements used in the gardens
of the temple where the sacred corn
was cultivated, were all of silver and
gold. The garden, like those belonging
to the royal palaces, sparkled with sill
yer and gold and various jeweled imita-
lions of the vegetable kingdom. There
were also statues of gold and silver,
mainly those of animals, among which
the llama, with golden fleece, was con-
spicious. All this we have on the word
of a number of renowned historians,
such as Sarmiento, Garcilasso, Herrera
and Pedro Pizarro. Prescott adds: eff
the reader sees in this fairy picture only
the romantic coloring of some fabulous
Ell Dorado, he must recall what has
been written about the palaces of the
Incas and consider that these Houses
of the Sun were the common reservoirs
into which flowed all the streams of
public and private benefaction through
out the Empire
Many of these costly articles were
buried by the natives to keep item
from the cupidity of their conquerors;
but enough remained to excite the
Spaniard's profoundeSt admiration and
to stimulate their greed to the highest
pitch. They lost no time in removing
everything portable, and even tore
away the golden frieze and cornices.
On the very ground once occupied by
the gorgeous Coricancha, now stands
the stately church of Saint Dominic,
one of the handsomest structures in
the three Americas. Fields of corn and
alfalfa now ripen in the temple gardens
which once gloWed with golden Statu-
airy; and where the Children of the
Sun celebrated their religious rites
bare footed frlars chant ave marias.
Inside the courtyard of the st. Domim-
| ic monastery is still preserved an an
cient fountain of Inca days, which has
been consecrated by the Romish church
for baptismal purposes. 1t stands in
| the center of an extensive patio, sur
rounded by long lines of arched and
i columned corridors, one story above
another The fountain is Of solid stone,
long oval in shape, rising above the
ground about four feet, and sunk into
it six feet or more.

The distracting headaches from which
90 many women suffer make life daily

that men do not suffer from these severe

womanly cause for them!

eased, headache, backache, nervousness

The gay throngs frequenting Sara
toga represent all classes. The city
toiler and the wealthy banker are often
in close proximity, either at the
Springs, on the verandas, in hotel
dining rooms, or listening to the fine
music which helps to while away the
bours; and as the former is always well
dressed, ones exact position is not
easily defined. Therefore, Saratoga
acquaintance is usually to be avoided.
Flirtations are, however, in the air, and
in almost every cosy nook, be it in a
park, on a veranda particularly on
moonlight evenings or one OF the many
magnificent trees for which this place
is celebrated, one comes upon a pair
of lovers telling the old, old story"
FOR MORNING
nothing is so much worn as linen, plain
or fancy, white or colored. Pink linen
dresses having insertions of lace in Cir
cnlar shape, with sprays of white
braiding around the insertion, are ia
vorites among young ladies and ma
irons; or novelty here are circles of
white linen, dotted with black and
edged by Cluny lace, set in very close
together around flare, and also on
yoke and sleeves. Blue linen dresses
trimmed with wide insertions of blue
Cluny lace are also pretty, or gray lin
en- with wheels of black and white en-
broidery. A handsome gray linen gown
worn by Baltimore belle had wide
lace around the skirt, with black velvet
run in at both edges and squares of
Oriental embroidery put over the lace
at regular spaces.

embroidery trim many pongee dresses
worn here, but after all pongee should
be worn by graceful person, or it has
a himsy, slouchy appearance. Lace

Catarrh is a Germ Disease. Science,
armed with the microscope, has established
it fact, and this conclusion renders obsO-
lete the practice of treating Asthma, Ca
tarrh and Bronchitis by stomach drugging,
snrays. snuffs, &c. Such treatments are an
inter failure because they cannot penetrate
the delicate air cells of the lungs, or
nermeate the air passages of the nose and
bronchial tubes where the germs of Catarrh
have their stronghold. Catarrh0zOne is the
only certain remedy. It is inhaled by the
mouth and after spreading through all the
respiratory organs is exhaled through the
