It Was Looked Upon With Wonder and
Admiration In France.

Admiration In France.
cit is to Frenchmen that is due
the credit of first seeing the true
beauty of the life mask, of appre-
ciating it and describing it. When
| took plaster copy in 1877 to the
oldest Paris bronze founder to get
it cast in bronze | put it down on a
table side by side with mask of
the Able Lamenais. The first words
of the founder were: What beau
tiful face! Why, it's more beautiful
and has more character than the
abbe's, and we think that is the
handsomest one in France! What
an extraordinary construction, and
what fine forms it has!'1 Then he
asked who it was and added, I shall
take pleasure in showing it to So
and-so,' naming several.of the prin-
cipal sculptors in Paris for whom
he did work.
"Fremiet was particularly inter
ested. He said, among other things:
TT seems impossible that new
country like yours should produce
such face. It is unique Then
he asked: DO you know anything
about the physique of this man ?
He must have been tall and slim,
having little flesh and very alert in
action AS l was then making
some sketches of statuette, based
upon very little knowledge of Lin
coins physical appearance, Ere
miet's suggestions were OF great
value, as knew him to be learned
ethnologist. He then recommend
ed me to get for model man OF
the neighborhood who was tall and
slim, but very compactly built. His
height was six feet four inches, the
same, as 1 learned long afterward,
as that of Lincoln. At the close of
our conversation Fremiet said: You
have in hand wonderfully inter
esting subject. | envy you
"Some weeks after, when | went
to get the bronze copy, the founder
toad me that these sculptors and
others had seen the Lincoln and ex-
pressed themselves in the most ap-
preciative. terms of what they saw
in it. Here, in substance, is what
they said, 1t is unusual in general
construction, it has new and inter
esting character, and its planes are
remarkably beautiful and subtle. Ii
it belongs to any type, and we know
of none such, it must be wonder
full specimen of that type. '"-Tru-
man III. Bartlett in McClure's.

The Fall of Rome.

Odoacer, the Goth, was proclaim
ed king Of Italy A. D. 476. This
ended the Roman empire of the
west. The Byzantine, or eastern
empire, founded A. D. 395, with the
division of the empire by Theodo-
,sius, fell A. D. 1853 with the cap
ture Of Constantinople by the
Turks. In truth it cannot be said
that any one, or even two, nations
overthrow Rome Rome was over
thrown by the pressure of the whole
barbarian world, assisted by the in
herent corruption of the Roman
neonle

Cured Hay Fever and summer Cold

A. J. Nusbaum, Batesville, In
diana. writes: Last year I suffer
ed for three months with a summer
cold so distressing that it interfered
with my business. I had many of
the symptoms of hay fever, and q
doctors prescription did not reach
my case, and took several medi-
cines which seemed to aggravate
my case. Fortunately / insisted
upon having Foley's Honey and Tar
in the yellow package, and it quickly
cured me. My wife has since used
Foley's Honey and Tar with the
same success. @. W. Frost.

THE TIMES


To check a cold quickly, get from
your druggist some little Candy
Cold Tablets called Preventics.
Druggists everywhere are now dis
pensing Preventics, for they are
not only safe, but decidedly certain
and prompt. Preventics contain no
Quinine, no laxative, nothing harsh
nor sickening. Taken at the
''sneeze stage" Preusntics will pre-
vent Pneumonia, Bronchitics, La
Frippe, etc. Hence the name, Pre-
ventics. Good for feverish children
48 Preventics % cents. Trial
Boxes cents. Sold by all dealers.

The Prettiest Wild Flowers.

"Did you ever see such pretty
wild flowers anywhere" inquired the
pessimist, Gas those growing close
to the track when your train is run
ming fifty miles an hour? When
you go into the fields on foot the
daisies and other things are scrubbg
and small, but if you want to see
beautiful wild roses and gigantic
black eyed Susans just get on a fast
moving train and they'll lash by all
day. Funny, isn't it Pr Exchange.

On Swearing.

Cowper was an English
poet. He wrote some beauti-
full hymns. He wrote some
lines about swearing which
it would be well for every
boy in the land to learn.
at chills my blood to hear the best
a Va supreme
Rudely appealed to on each trifing theme
Maintain your ranks; vulg arity despise;
To swear is neither brave, polite or wise. "
It you wish not to swear big
oaths the best way is not to
make use of the little cues.
Some who would not swear
by the name of God think
nothing of saying "by
George" or ''by jingo,' or
by something else; others Of
ten cry out ''good gracious"
or mercy on me, y and the
like. These are the begin
nings of swearing. They are
to profane swearing what
acorns are to oaks.

it was a prude, say the other
day that fashionably accom-
plished young ladies consider
it a disgrace to enter a kitchen
or know how to make loaf
of bread. Now we know
some sensible girls who do
not consider themselves dis
graced if they are found help
ing their mothers, and more
over we know that what the
above mentioned prude said
is true in many instances.
Society at the present day
demands that girls shall be
what they call accomplished;
and to fulfil this demand the
mothers of Christendom teach
their daughters that a know
ledge of all that belongs to
LIES duties at home is not
one of the requirements, that
manual labor must be con
sonant with drawing room
cultivation. And so their
lily hands slip idly over the
piano keys; they waltz in the
most approved style; shipper
a little French or German,
quote poetry-and society
says they are accomplished.
Doubtless they are. and by
and-by, as all modern fashion
ables do, they win a husband.
Now is there one of their
boasted accomplishments
.that.wiH help to make or bless
home? We know that music
is pleasant and home is not
home where there are no
songs or sweet harmonies;
but a knowledge of the piano
will not help a woman dis
charge her wifely duties, and
a smattering Of French or an
ability to waltz gracefully,
will do but little towards pre-
pairing a palatable dinner for
a husband when, he comes
home hungry.
Modern girls have not less
ability than our grandmothers
had; the evil all lies in the
principles imbibed in early
years. If mothers will teach
by word and deed, that idle
ness is an accomplishment,
then what may we expect?
Where shall we look for the
true woman, the blessed
homes in the years to come?
The woman who would fill
LIES station nobly and well,
cannot learn too much. IT,
she fails in her home she will
fail in all; for there rest the
basis Of her ultimate success.

Pleasant Neighborhoods.

Ones pleasure, after all, is
much affected by the quality
of ones neighbors, even
though one may not be on
speaking terms with them.
A pleasant, bright face is
surely better than discon-
tented, cross one; and a house
that has the air of being in
habited: is preferable to closed
shutters and .unsocial blinds,
excluding every ray of sun
light and sympathy.
We like to see the glancing,
cheerful light through the
window. of a cold night, or
watch them, as evening deep
ems, gradually creeping from
the parlor to the upper stories
of the house near us. We
like to watch the little child
rem going in and out of the
door, to play or to school.
We like to see the white
robed baby dancing up and
down at the window in it's
mothers arms, or the father
reading his newspaper there
at evening, or any of these
cheerful, impromptu home
glimpses. which, though we
are no Paul Pry, we will as :
sert go to make a pleasant
neighbor to those who live
for comfort instead of show.
Sad, indeed, some mornings,
on waking, it is to see the
blinds down and the shutters
closed, and to know that
Deaths angel, while it spared
our threshold, had crossed
that of our cheerful neighbor.
Sad to miss the white-robed
baby from the window, and
see the little coffin at night
fall borne into the house.
Sad to see the innocent little
faces pressed at eventide
against the window pane,
watching for the ''dear papa"
who has gone to his long
home.
Every man must patiently
abide his time. He must
wait, not in idleness, but in
useful pastime, not in queru-
lous detection, but in con
stantly, steadily filing and
accomplishing his task, that
when the occasion comes he
may be equal to it. The talent
of success is nothing more
than doing what you can do
we'll, without a thot of fame.
If it comes at all it will come
because it is deserved, not
because it is sought after.
1t is a very indescreet and
troublesome ambition which
cares so much about what the
world SAYS of us; to be always
anxious about the effect of
what we do or say; to be al
ways shouting to hear the
echoes of our own voices.
