BOOK ILLUMINATION.
An Early Example OF the Artiatie
Culture of the Ancfents.

The underlying thought which has In.
spired Illumination from its very be.
ginning Is more interesting even than
the gorgeous pages which pass beyond
our power of appreciation and defy
our comprehension. To the anclents
the rarest gems In all the world were
the gems of thought The book was
the tangible and visible expression OF
mans intellect, worthy of the noblest
setting. Its covers might be made Of
tables Of ieaten gold inlaid with pre-
cious jewels, its words might be writ.

tai gold upon parchment soft as velvet
made from the skins of still born kids,
while upon the ample margins could
be displayed miniatures and decora-
tons portraying the highest skill OF the
great artists Of the day.
The earliest example Of illumination
Is papyrcs in the Louvre in Paris,
which contains paintings representing
funeral ceremonies executed In bright
colors, touc1ed In its high lights with
penciied god. Although we find fire.

In gold, Of stme magnificent volume or

lection of miniatures or of some mag

or church, yet this simple, imperfect
fragment at the Louvre Is the sole
tangible evidence we have that so
obvious a form of artistic culture as
the art of illumination was known to
the long period of classical antiquity
or to the Later luxuries Of the life OF
Athens and Corinth, of Pergamum and
Ephesus. OF Cyzicuus or Rhodes, Syra
cuse or Tarentum, of Sybaris. of Pom

With the Invention Of printing the
demand for the illuminator and the
scribe became gradually less, and final
" by the end Of the sixteenth centn.,
illumination ceased TO be an art. The
book as the developer of the people in
science and literature and in learning
generally had crowded out the book as

Earthquake Gowns

In 1850 there was a great earthquake
In England, and Horace Walpole re-
cords that Several women have made
earthquake gowns'-that is, warm
gowns to sit out of doors all night"
Walpole also tells that Turner, a
great china man at the corner Of the
next street had a Jar cracked by the
shock He originally asked 10 guineas
for the jar. He now asks 20, because
1t is the only jar In Europe that had
been cracked by an earthquake"

IndfgeatiOn.

The following cure for indigestion Is
recommended by the eminent DR.. Bond
In the London Lancet, a medical jour-
nal of world wide repute.
'The indigestion must be a very
hopeless one," says DR.. Bond, (which
will not yield to a diet of small cup
Of warm milk to which a teaspoonful
Of rum has been added, followed by a
plain biscuit or two and some very
mild cheese, paradoxical as this COM
bination may SEEM"
According to Dr. Bond, there is a
subtle harmony between these ingre-
dents that does the business.

VANISHED TREASURES.


E0 vac WUktGs
The Venus de Milo" which has beer
In the Louvre for many years Is, as all
the world knows, an imperfect piece Of
sculpture, though 1t Is the greatest
treasure OF Its kind the world has ever
seen. A great reward would be given
the man who could find the missing
parts. About 1878 the most important
Of them-the right arm--came to light
In London and was proved by experts
to be genuine. The owner, however,
refused to part with II and concealed
it for fear 1t would be stolen. Unfor-
tunately he died without revealing Its
hiding place, so 1t Is as much lost as
ever.
A bronze drinking cup which was
stolen from an Egyptian temple In
1880 and brought to Europe has mirac-
ulously disappeared. On it is engraved
the whole history of the Pharaohs, and
II could easily be sold for 100000. In
fact, the French government offered
reward of $4,000 for It's discovery, but
the famous cup has vanished. probably
forever.
Another treasure which has vanished
In as strange way is the Marcella
vase OF the Dresden collection. This
Ia the only piece missing from the fa-
nous Dresden Marcella collection, the
value OF which Is said to be $4,000,
II bears the cross arrows and the lions
head. Not long ago the vase was said
% be In England. but be that as 1t
may, the person who rediscovers this
treasure may command any price In
reason for it, &A s
How IL 10 possible that treasure 40
large as apainting could be lost sight
Of entirelyls not easily explained. but
this has often happened. One OF Reyn-
olds' paintings, Countess OF Derby"
which is considered his best portrait.
has disappeared. Not long after 1t
was painted 1t disappeared from the
collection Of the Earl Of Derby and
has never been heard Of since, though
It would bring S150,000 to the finder.
There are also two Vandykes and
Rembrandt missing. for which collect
ors are willing to pay 100000. The
Earl OF Crewe would give large sum
for the return of Cupid which some

mer Countess of Crewe and her SON.
