roof being supported by steel arches,
forming a splendid domed ceiling.

hibits of all the executive departments
Of the government. The building is
vast storehouse of an endless variety
of treasures dear to the heart Of every
true American. Precious documents
are to be seen here, and the autographs
of our great men of the past are on
display. Relics of famous statesmen
and soldiers. carefully preserved
through generations, are exhibited.

The Jilt In ITALY.

In some countries a betrothal is CON
sidered only degree less sacred thar
a marriage and therefore a breach OF
promise, especially on the girls side, is
regarded as very shocking. This is
very much the case in Italy, where q
girl who after betrothal has changed
her mind is known for life as civetta
(owleD and has rarely another chance
of matrimony. The term "owlet'' con
veys no idea of reproach here, but in
Italy it is significant, because owlets
are there used for insnaring other birds

Scents That AFFECT breathing.

The perfumes of certain flowers affect
the digestion or breathing or cause dir
illness and even fainting fits. Vanilla
is troublesome to many, so is the white
flower Of the Ltgustrum japonicum and
the pitosperum. The tuberose, jasmine
and lilac are objectionabl Bile to some. The
Datura arborescens makes people drOw-
sy. This action Of flowers is due to the
scent and is distinct from the influence
of pollen, which produces hay fever.
