THE CITY OF CANALS.
Venice and the Many Islands Upon
Which II Is Built.


Venice is one of the most singular
and famous cities in Europe and is
built upon cluster of islands in the
lagoon. This lagoon is banked off from
the Adriatic by long, narrow sand
bank which is divided into a number
of islands, six in number. Inside of
this sand bank and between it and
the mainland Is the lagoon, a sheet Of
shallow water In parts of this
marshy, sea covered plain islets have
become consolidated into ground. firm
enough to be cultivated.
And in the midst of crowded
cluster Of such islands, amounting to
between seventy and eighty In num-
ber the city of Venice Is built The
chief Of these islands is called Isolda
de Rialto, or Island Of the Deep
Stream. The Islands, In many places
mere shoals, afford no adequate foun-
dation for buildings, and the city for
the most part Is built upon an artifi-
cial foundation of piles and stones.
The Grand canal divides Venice into
two equal parts and is the main thor
oughfare for traffic and pleasure. The
city is subdiylded by some one hun
dred and forty-six small canals or
water streets, and the gondola is used
for the carriage. Access can also be
had to various parts of the city by
land, there being over three hundred
bridges across canals. The Rialto, the
most famous bridge. spans the Grand
canal. There are also narrow lanes
in among the houses.

PANBEsA's LETTER. -.1S's'
An Account of an Egyptian City Thirty
Centuries Ago.


Centuries Ago.
Probably the oldest letter in the
world is the letter of Panbesa, written
fifteen centuries before Christ to his
friend, Amenemapt, scribe.
The manuscript is of perishable
papyrus, and II is amazing that 1t
should have survived for more than
thirty centuries and still be legible.
It is preserved in the collection of
the British museum. 1t has been sew
eral times translated. 1t presents an
interesting picture Of life in Egypt in
the time of Rameses ii. 1t is more in
the nature of literary production, a
poem composed in celebration of the
visit of Pharaoh to the city of Pa
Rameses, than an ordinary letter of to-
day.
Panbesa 'greets his lord, the scribe
Amenemapt, to whom. be life, health
and strength" and then goes on to de-
scribe the verdant fields, the thrashing
floors, the vineyards, the groves of
olives, the orchards of figs, the great
daily markets, with their fish and wa
terfowl and swarms of purchasers.
The citizens had their sweet wine of
Khemi, pomegranate wine and wine
from the vineyards" and to these they
added beer of Kati.'
There was music in plenty furnished
by the singers of the school of Memphis.
On the whole, -Rameses seems to
have been a pleasant place to live in.
'The lesser folk are there equal with
the great folk" and Panbesa writes
that its maidens were sin holiday at
tire every day." with locks ''redolent of
perfumed OIL"

Peanut Meal Bread.

Peanut meal has been for long
time staple article in the dietary
of the poor classes in Spain. Bread
made from pure peanut meal is light
and porous. but it is said to be un-
palatable because of a persistent, pop
pylil,c taste. Rye bread containing %
per cent of peanut meal cannot be dis
tinguished from ordinary rye bread,
while far more nutritious. Skim milk
cheese is the only ordinary article of
diet comparable to peanuts meal in its

AN ENIGMA IN STONE.
"Nirvana" In the Rock Creek Ceme-
tory at Washington.

So many things may be said Of st.
Gaudens-of the traits of his genius,
his modesty, his deep sympathy with
all who possessed high ideals or who
had noble thoughts; of his own noble
generosity, his willingness to sacrifice
himself for the advancement of art,
his keen perception of beautiful char
acter, or of fine impulse that often
shone for him out of the most COM
monplace of lives or of features. One
Incident of many, says Harper's Week
ly, may not only illustrate him, but
help to illumine masterpiece of his
which has perplexed some minds that
may be worth the enlightening "The
work is the figure of 'Nirvana' in the
Rock Creek cemetery at Washington.
st. Gaudens was in Washington in
the winter of 1902, making his beauti-
full relief of Wayne MacVeagh and
Mrs. MacVeagh, and Hildegarde Haw-
thorne was there, too, and visited more
than once that dreaming figure in the
cemetery. At last she was moved to
write some verses, which she sent to
a magazine, but the editor thought that
he had seen verses on the sculptor's
work that better expressed its senti-
ments, and returned the verses with
the stimulating suggestion that some
day he would show the young woman
some real poetry about the figure. st.
Gaudens, too, had seen both poems,
and when he heard of this expression
of the editors he wrote to him and
said that Hildegarde Hawthorne had
OWNED his intention as no writer had
done, and therefore the verses are In
print. So, il you like, you may solve
the riddle by reading them"
