The Pain
Family

You know them; they are
numerous, and make their
presence felt everywhere. The
names of the family are Head
ache, Toothache, Earache,
Backache, Stomach ache, Neu-
falgia, etc. They are sentinels
that warn you Of any derange-
ment Of your system. When
the brain nerves become en-
haasted or irritated, Headache
makes you miserable; if the
stomach nerves are weak, in
digestion results, and you
double up with pain, and if the
more prominent nerves are at
fected, Neuralgia simply makes
life uncomfortable. The way to
stop pain is to soothe and
strengthen, the nerves. DR..
Miles Anti-Pain Pills do this.
The whole Pain family yield to
J their influence. Harmless if
: taken as directed.
II find DR.. Miles Anti-Pain Pills an
excellent remedy for overcoming head

which In some respects is the most re-
markable in the world will have a TO-
tai length of $500 feet. and is being
built by Philadelphia contractors. In
addition to the sub-structure of a
couple of main piers. the bridge will
consist of two 5O0-feet side spans. ex-
tending from the anchor piers to the
main piers OF the towers two 562 ~

would be supported in masonry tow

The construction of a bridge across
the St. Lawrence river, at or near
Quebec, has been the object of several
projects during the past 60 years.
The first of these was inaugurated in
1851. THE Quebec Bridge and Rail-
way company" the syndicate now ac-
lively engaged in the construction of
the bridge, was organized as far back
as 1887, but formulated no definite
plan of action until 1897, in which
year a reorganization of the corpora.
tion took place. A definite location
for the bridge was arrived at only
after exhaustive investigations. The
choice of site so far distant from the
city was necessitated by the great
width of the st. Lawrence opposite
Quebec and by the unfavorable subma-
rine conditions at that point. To keep

by guards-was the prison, and also

The theater, too, is well preserved.
Following the system of the Greeks,
the site has been chosen on a hillside,
where with a minimum of labor the
seats could be simply followed out Of
the soil and then faced with stone, so
obviating tile need for a costly external
structure.
The Ia pillars on which rested
the wooden platform of the stage are
still in place, and between the first
row of pillars and the wall of the pull
pitum one still sees ~ followed stones
that were once used in connection
with the curtain. 1t should be borne
in mind that in the old days the cur
tain descended when an act com
menced and was withdrawn when It
ended; for instead of hiding the
stage as at present it was placed
behind and formed a background for
il.
The auditorium OF the theater was
uncovered as far as the fourth series
of seats. Above this IL was vaulted
over, and to right and left OF the or
chestra were the seats reserved for
the priestesses. An awning could be
spread over the entire theater. It
seated 3,400 persons, or 1000 If we in
clude those vino stood on the terraces
above the vaulted portion.
The entertainments were usually
paid for by citizens who wished to
show their gratitude for election to
magisterial or other posts. The great
neighboring camp of Lembessa, by the
way. had no theater of its own; that
of Timgad served the whole of this
Roman colony.

and It seems probable that Timgad
will prove the most perfect specimen
of Roman colonial city, to which all
interested in the life and architecture
of 1000 years ago will look for a
striking and magnificent object lesson.
