It is the outcome of the enthusiasm
of a French priest, the Able Brugi-
dou, who had more zeal than business
capacity, and was eminently success
ful in accommodating a very heavy
debt. which the late pontiff paid up
to preserve the church from being
sold The cupola is formed of white
metallic substance that shines like
silver in the sunshine, and which Is
pierced in star like apertures filled
with yellow glass, through which the
light penetrates in golden glow.
Above the rich portico Of fine CORN
THAN columns glowing mosaic is
seen. The interior is distinguished
for it's wealth of marbles ard bronzes
and frescoes.
Along the aisles are chapels which
are constructed and adorned at the
expense Of several of the nations {;
Christendom. The chapel of the
United States at the right near the
transept is a splendid shrine in ricn-
ness Of painting, sculpture and deco
ration. Opposite is the French chapel;
close by is that, very rich indeed,
which England has made its own;
on the opposite side, its art express
sive of the new impulse that pos
sesses the mind of the Irish people
the Celtic revival-is the recently
completed Irish chapel. Thus this
church would seem to be a worlds
gift to the memory Of Leo XIII. The
beauty of the structure and its meth
cd of adornment are not quite like
those which prevail in Rome, and a.
has q suggestion Of modern French
church architecture. Yet it is charac-
teristic of the new Rome, to which
nothing that is good, whatever the
style may be, is wholly foreign.
The site of the city of Rome is, it
has been said. quite fitted to receive
the capital of the world. The azure of
the horizon here is limpid and daz-
cling, and the dark foliage of the
north harmonizes here with the light
er foliage of the south. In the gar

to Hendley's recital.
'Preposterous. exclaimed that
young man, excitedly pacing up and
down the room. "Preposterous to be

its perfectly monstrous."
1T is certainly a trife awkward, >"
commented George with smile.
It's enough to provoke saint,

Yes, yes interposed George, rails
ing his hand deprecatingly, "all that

simple facts of the case. You see, at

taste on your part, and that Mr.. Mer-

We'll, the story is soon told. 1t ap-
pears that during the night some
thieves broke into the Mcrtons' place
and made off with $4,000 worth of
jewelry. A nice little haul. AS told
you, had intended looking up old
Merton this evening to ask his pater-
nal blessing in the matter of Geral

when a private detective chap called
on me about midday and without too

Upon going down to breakfast at

TELLS WAY INDIANS PAINT.
Apache Relates Legend Which Ac-
counts for His Peoples Custom.

apache HcidteS Lc9cHu WHCH AC-
counts for His Peoples Custom.
Once an old Apache Indian, when
asked the question why his people
painted their faces, told this little le-
gend:
Long ago, when men were weak
and animals were big and strong, a
chief of the red men who lived in
these mountains went out to get a
deer, for his people were hungry.
after walking all day he saw
deer and shot at 1t, but the arrow
was turned aside and wounded a
mountain lion, which was also after
the deer. When the lion felt the sting
of the arrow he jumped up and bound
ed after the man, who ran for his life.
HE was almost exhausted and.
he fell to the ground, calling on the
big bear, who, you know, is the grand
father of men, TO save him.
"The big bear heard the call and
saw that to save the man he had to
act quickly, so he scratched his foot
and sprinkled his blood over the man.
Nov, you must know that no ami
NAL will eat Of the bear or taste of
his blood. So when the lion reached
the man he smelled the blood and
turned away, but as he did so his foot
scraped the face of the man. leaving
the marks of his claws on the blood
smeared face.
when the man found that he was
uninjured he was so thankful that he.
left the blood dry on his face AID
never washed it at all, but left it UNI
it peeled off.
where the claws Of the lion
scraped it off there were marks that
turned brown in the sun, and where
the blood stayed on it was lighter.
Now all men paint their faces that
way with blood and scrape it off in
streaks when they hunt or go to war"

Oak Splits a Rock.

A wonderful freak Of nature is an
oak tree in the far West, which has
grown up from a sapling into wide
spreading, handsome tree, through a
rock of flint stone, splitting the mas
sive rock by the tremendous pressure
OF it's vigorous growth. No one living
knows how long nature has been as
sisting this oak in its work of stone
crushing. The oldest people in the
neighborhood recall the tree in their
childhood, and experts in forestry say
that It must be fully 200 years old.

Love in the Daisies.

Love went where the daisies seemed
Sweeter than the dreams he dreamed;
Rested In the meadows fair
Saying "All of Life is here!
Let me sleep
Let me sleep:
! shall never wake to weep"
And the stars looked down and kissed
Loves gold hair. In dreamy mist
Singing to the dawning Day:
Haste not up the Orient way!
Let him sleep
oh. let him sleep:
Let him never wake to weep"
But the Dawn was cruel-kind-
Kissed the eyes that Sleep made blind
Led the heart the daisies knew
Where the thorns in crimson grew!
oh, Silence deep!
oh. Night, and Sleep
God guard the days where Love mus
weep!

The RESEMBLANCE.

Some years ago William T. Smedley
boarded in the same house with 8
young man who prided himself on his
likeness TO the artist-though, truth
to tell, he was very plain, while Mr.
Smedley was quite handsome. One
morning at breakfast he turned to Mr.
Smedley and said:

Indeed" was the answer, 81 can

the task is not so difficult. The great

raised, since the pyramid builders
ceased work, to commemorate king,

construction of slow growth, made
slower still by want of funds and by
frequently recurring strikes among

Time in its course is bringing the
harsh colors and inharmonious fresh

in which the discord is less felt. In
the course Of the years. when rain

Joint gift of God and a good man. She

She crowded men from the great,

~ Richard Merton, head of the ship

and grew obese with his good fortune.
His progress westward had at length

in the charming suburb of Richmond,
where he looked forward to spending
the rest of his days in placid content

Among the crowd of guests on this

Herbert Hendley had never yet'taken
life very seriously. He had had
thoughts of entering one of the pro-
fessions, but hitherto his modest in
come had sufficed for immediate needs
and he had procrastinated.
He had met the Mertons at house
party in Scotland and had gladly &C
copied an invitation to renew the ac-
auaintance on his return to the me-
trppolis. He had now been several
rmes to the house and was fast estab-
fishing a reputation as constant Wis

farther end of the room, where port

smiled at his earnestness.
"Do you remember our excursion up

how we got caught in the Scotch

"And how you wrapped me UP in

laughed nusically.

income. Am asking too much?"
You can not ask me too much"
she said simply. glancing up at aim
with the lovelight shining in her blue
eyes.
He caught her to his breast and
kissed her lips again and again. Then

ARSENIC TO POISON TREES.
Simple Matter to Get Rid Of Unwei-
come Foliage.

A gardener discovered the fact re-
Gently that trees are often sent to an
untimely death by poison, usually ar
senic. The reason for this does not
appear until one hears the mans en-
PLANTATION. Suppose man has rented
a house which has too much shade.
the law will not allow him to have
one or more of the trees cut down
without the consent or the owner. AS
it often happens that tenants and
landlords hold different views on the
subject of shade the trees remain as
q bone of contention. 1t is then that
the gardener is called to administer
a dose of poison. for when tree is
dead the tenant may have it removed.
Five cents worth of arsenic is suf-
fcient to kill large tree. A hole is
made in the trunk, the arsenic drop
ped in, and nature does the rest. II
