to himself and offered it, instead. to
Peace; and at the close of January Of
that year he dedicated a colossal, al
tar, surrounded by a marble screen,
upon which were sculptured exquisite
reliefs. representing professions Of the
noble friends OF Augustus. priests and
others. These latter were all crowned
with laurel and bore branches of olive
in their hands. Above them ran an en-
riched frieze displaying deliberately
carved foliations, flowers, and fes-
ICONS, typifying the fertility of the
earth. 1t was a golden moment in the
art life of Rome. and the design and
workmanship were of the finest. The
monument consisted of a rectangular
platform having a front and back Of
thirty-six feet. with sides measuring
thirty-three feet, and was reached by
a fight of steps from the Via Flaminia.
The position given to it in the
Campus Martins corresponds precisely
with the angle of the Via S. Lorenzo
in Lucina, where that street opens out
of the modern COTso, nearly opposite
Via Frattina and adjoining the Palazzo
Fiano-Ottoboni. in the cellars and

and enthusiastic lover of Archaeology
not only helped to bring about a proper
scheme for the desired research. but

In consequence the work was put into
the hands OF Signor Cannizaro. who
began operations on July p. Early

say one apiece. and fill them with can
dy nuts or raisins. Fill one or two Of
them with -four instead of those
things. Then blindfold each person
in turn and let each one try to find
bag and break it open with a stick or
cane. If she succeeds the contents Of
the bag are hers. If it should be the
-four she will get covered with that
and be laughed at for her pains.
The best part Of this is that no one
knows who is going to knock the ones
filed with -four, as after they are
blindfolded each person must be
turned around and around until she
doesn't have any idea in which direc-
ton she is going. So, even if she
knew where the bags of -four we're
hanging, she couldn't tell whether she
was going toward one or not. Better
still, have some one who is not going
to try hang up the bags.

DESCENDANT OF KING DAVID.

Philadelphia Woman Who Traced Kin
ship TO Jewish Family Of Abzrbsnel.
A Iineal descendant Of King David
died in Philadelphia recently.
Mrs. Gustav Lipschuetz was her
name She lived with her husband
and five children at 1919 Diamond
street. but death came in st. Luke's
hospital. where she had undergone an
operation. She was SO years Of age.
Through the misty reacnes Of sacred
history this woman could trace her
kinship to the distinguished Jewish
family AbarbaneI, whose relationship
to King David is undoubted and whose
achievements throughout Europe are
matters of history.
Mrs. Lipschuetz. whose maiden
name was Bertha Neumann, sprang
from that branch Of the family Of
which Don Isaac Abarbanel, prime
minister OF Spain in 1892 was the
bead. During that time, when perse.
cution against the Jews began as q
result of the change in the religious
views Of Ferdinand and Isabella, Don
Isaac was obliged to fee with his less
favored brethren. The family scat
tered, settling in various parts of Eu-
rope. Don Isaac afterward became
prime minister in Italy
The grandfather Of the dead woman
was Rudolph Hirsch Abarbanel, one
of the foremost rabbis of Germany in
the last century The city Gretz, where
he died, gave him public funeral. and

in mourning.

Zone sweet sad soul ennobles death
And still for nineteen centuries saith
eye meet again.
Miss Cora C. Lougel, daughter of
John and Bell Brannon Lougel, was
born at Vincennes, Indiana, July %,
1876, and died at her home in Rich
mond, Ind. Wednesday, March 8,
1904, at II a. M.
For several years passed she had
made her home at San Antonio,
Texas. where she made many warm
friends On account of failing health
she came home in July last to remain.
Since that time she has been gradual
Nv failing in strength. She was
bright, happy girl and, despite her
suffering and weakness, had bright
smile and a word of cheer for all.
Her parents and her brother and his
family have lived here but a few
years; and. during this period, Cora
has been absent most of the time until
last summer. Yet they had won to
themselves. by their worth and kind
ness, a large circle of friends who
paid them every attention; especially
during the recent weeks of Cora s i'll
ness. No matter how often they came
nor how many at time, Cora gave to
all a bright and cordial welcome.
Friends came to minister and were
ministered TO as well. All were i'm
pressed with her gentleness, sweetness
and patience; her calm and quiet
waiting for departure. Consumptives
are usually so hopeful of life as to
not realize how rapidly their end is
approaching; but Cora was well
aware of her condition and frequent
ly talked about if and made all fu-
neral arrangements down to minute
details. Tn the service at South
Eighth Street Friends church, on
Sabbath afternoon, March 18th. all
her wishes were observed as closely as
possible. The services were conduct
ed by Charles A. Francisco. of the
Friends church, assisted by Rev. J.
p Chamness, of the Fifth Street
Methodist church, both of whom had
visited her during her illness. Miss
Chamness sang beautifully, Crock of
Ages" and tfT Know Ny Heavenly
Father Knows" Cora had been
much impressed with a HYMN sung
during her illness, "WiH There BE
ANY Stars in Nv Crown" and this
was sung by Charles A. Francisco
and Miss Nettie Thompson, one of
her dear friends The services were
beautiful and impressive There was
a gracious sense of the Lords pres
enee in the meeting and a note of
JOY and victory pervaded all.
