called it, says the Rome correspondent
of the New York World The splendid
castle mirrored in its waters. once the
property of the Colonnas then the
Frangipanis, the Cencis and the Or

If within the range of possibilities,
a sure and speedy solution of very
practical problem should be found
the problem of labor on the farm. It
is discussed year after year, but is
0ftener treated as a joke than as a Sc
rious problem bearing in the most di-
rect way upon the prosperity of the
country. We have succeeded in NOV
ing the bulk of what the harvest fields,
gardens orchards and vineyards have
yielded to such labor as could be had
to gather their products. Transporta
ton and money have not always been
adequate, but have in the main met de-
mands at the most pressing season of
the year. The record is, however, that
millions of dollars worth of farm prod
allowed to wither on trees and vines
because the help to gather and market
them was not to be had, even at the
best prices ever offered for such serv-
ice. It will be recalled that during one
harvest time the farmers of Kansas
adopted the shotgun policy and brought
the hoboes into camp, compelling them,
for a time, at least, to earn their
bread by the sweat of the brow. But
this is not a plan to be considered,
md in spite Of what we have lately
been referring to as our "army of the
unemployed" the vexatious problem
now seems more difficult than ever be-
fore. The manufacturing interests are
reviving and expanding. Public works
are enlisting Il larger army than ever.
In consequence, the trouble Of the
farmer is even more acute this season
than in previous seasons. The farmer
labOrs under a handicap because he
wants extra men but a few months in
the year, because the job is a rush one,
and because the demand for short hours
is not conceded when there is a ques-
ton Of saving crops They mean the
wealth of the nation, and some way
will have to be found to harvest and
market them without the heavy loss
which we annually sustain.

tique goblets and other treasures val
ued at 100000. But the list Of the
jeweled plate still exists, and it is
known that not a little of these have
been found. Still lying hidden there
is a famous emerald cup, the goblet
fashioned from one great stone.
In the lake, half imbedded In the
mud, lie the two celebrated villa boats
of Tiberius and Caligula, boats which
contained hanging gardens, temples of
marble, columns of porphyry, roofs of
cedar, ornaments innumerable of
bronze. The boats are still intact, and
Education Minister Rava has appointed
a committee Of inquiry on which are
Boni, the famous archaeologist, and
Carrado Ricci. These gentlemen have
come to the conclusion that two courses
are open to the government, one to
lower the lake till the level of the wa
ter touches the submerged boats, the
other to drain the lake dry.

COINS AND FACES ON THEM.

Features of Rulers Abroad, Here the
Emblem of Liberty.
Coins of most Of the nations bear
the United States each coin has an en-
blem of Liberty.
The first coins struck after the for
nation of the federal union. bore the
face Of George Washington. General
Washington disapproved Of the custom
and it was dropped. 1t has never been
revived
Portraits Of prominent Americans
appear upon postage stamps, internal
revenue stamps and paper money, bui
never on coins. And it has been the
custom to use no portraits of living
men even on the currency and the
stamps
IN England as soon as King Edward
succeeded Queen Victoria the Queens
face gave way to that of Edward on
all the coins and stamps in the British
empire. The accession of a new ruler
In most monarchies means an instant
change in the designs Of the coins.
But there is an exception to the rule
Of no portraits on American coins. The
emblem Of Liberty on the 1-cent coin i.
the goddess in an American Indian
headdress, but the face shows no char
acteristics of the North American
aborigine.
1t is the face of a little girl, Sarah
Longacre Keen, upon whose head was
placed the feathered ornament of
Sioux Indian. Her father was an en-.
graver and he placed his daughters
head on the coin.
Sarah Longacre Keen died in Phila-
delphia not long after having served
thirty-five years as the secretary of her
city's branch of the Methodist Wom-
ems Foreign Missionary Society.

What will the women say to the as

of good servants, as from the incompe-

The PrOIOngation of Life.


Why we grow old is problem which
many scientists have tried to solve.
The fact that we do grow old is incon-
testable, and the changes in the tissues
that come with increasing age are
known to psychologists, but what causes
these changes, and whether they are
the cause or the result Of old age, sci
ence has been unable to show.
We know that the process of aging
is a hardening process. The soft and
Yielding structures, the arteries and
the cartilages, stiffen with age; the
juicy tissues dry up, and fibrous materi-
ais, or those containing lime, strange
or take the place of the structures
which are concerned in the vital proc
esses.
' Some believe that it is simply a wear
ing-out process, and that the body is
used up by work just as an engine is,
or a watch. But this is no explanation,
for a living machine which has within
itself the power Of regeneration, as the
animal body has, Is not comparable to
a machine Of lifeless material, which
friction wears away and which cannot
be automatically renewed.
The cause of old age in the tissues
is a gradual loss of the power of re-
generation. AS the cells wear out with
use they can no longer be replaced by
other cells Of the same sort which are
able to do the same work, but their
place is filled by fibrOus material which
is incapable of doing the work neces-
sary to nutrition and vital action.
This explains the process of growing
old, but gives no hint as to the cause.
One of the most recent theories pro-
posed to account for this fatal change
in the body is that of Prof. Metchni-
koff of the Pasteur Institute in Paris.
He says that there is a constant war
fare going on between the cells of the
body-the noble cells, such as those
of the brain, the walls of the arteries,
and the various organs, on the one hand,
and those of lower order, the ''phago-
cytes' or eating cells, on the other The
noble cells are always on the defensive,
and so long as they are well nourished
they are able to resist the attacks of
their enemies. But within the large
intestine are numbers of bacteria con-
stantly creating poisons which weaken
the resisting power of these noble cells.
The remedy is to lessen the production
of these poisons by attacking the bacilli
which make them
This Prof. Metchnikoff proposes to
do by introducing harmless bacteria
into the intestine to take the place of
the injurious ones. He says that among
these harmless bacilli are the Tactic
acid bacilli-those which are present in
sour milk and he advocates, therefore,
the daily drinking of buttermilk
His theory is simple. but he himself
is not so simple as to regard butter
milk as the elixir of life. He maintains
only that the use of sour milk helps to
prolong life by preventing the formation
of poisons which shorten it-Youth's

thousand pounds, Egypt 100000 pounds,

African ivory brings the highest
prices in the markets. 1t is superior
to any other in the size of the tusks.
| have seen some which are nine feet
long, and there are some which weigh
as much as 200 pounds each. The
average weight Of a tusk is much less
than this and one Of a hundred pounds
is quite valuable.
In India the average tusk does not
weigh fifty pounds, but that OF the
African elephant is much heavier. Many
of the tusks are broken when they are
brought into the market The elephants
use them for blowing up roots and tear
ing down trees and also for fighting
their enemies.
The average tusk is strong anC elias
tic. but it can be broken and the ends
are sometimes snapped off. Ivory tusks
are always sold by weight, and the
traders tell me that in buying them
of the natives they have to be careful
to see that pieces Of iron or bits OF
stone have not been driven into the
hollows of the horns to make them
weigh more.
Many of you have been n the hands
of dentist and have seen how he al
most breaks your jaw in pulling a
molar with a long root. The tusks are
really elephants teeth and it is diff
cult to get them out Of dead elephant.

Freight shipped to merchants east of
the Mississippi must be plainly marked
with the name and address of the con-
signee, according to a recent decision
of the railroad companies. 1t has been
the practice of>manufacturers to mark
the goods with hieroglyphic, partly
TO save time in shipments, and partly
to prevent spies from competitors learn
Ing who their customers are. This
practice has made it difficult for the
railroad companies to deliver the goods,
One company is said to have lost 81 800
900 in the last ten years, because it has
had to reimburse shippers for goods
lost on the road Goods in carload lots
may go marked in cipher as heretofore,
as it is not difficult to deliver car at
the point TO which If is billed.

Short Suggestions.


Newspapers may be used to pad the
ironing board just as well as an old
blanket or muslin.
Soap well applied to drawer slides
will keep the drawers in furniture ant
closets from sticking.
If you will varnish your linoleum
about every three months it will last
much longer than without the coats Of
varnish.
Discolored cups and dishes used fOI
baking can be made as new by rubbing
the brown stains with a flannel dipped
into whiting.
When washing floors or cleaning win
dows always put few drops of parafi1
in the water and this will keep away
flies, moths and other insects
The skin from a boiled ham will be
more easily removed if as soon as be
ing taken from the boiling liquor the
ham be plunged into cold water for q
moment.
Cheese may be kept from going moldy
by wrapping 1t In a cloth dipped il
vinegar and wrung nearly dry Cover
the cloth with a wrapper Of paper ang
keep In cool place.
Do not throw away the old table
cloths. When too much worn to use Oh
the table cut into convenient Size put
narrow hem on sides and one-inch hen
on ends and see what nice, soft t0WeN
they will make.
For grease spots on mating make q
very thin paste with water and fulIers
earth and apply it literally to the soileo
place. Cover with a cloth and let II
dry gradually In few days the dust
can be swept off and the spot will De

Use all small, undeveloped or greer
potatoes in soups, or hash, for the IN
developed potato will not cook well ana
it. often has a very fat favor When
boiled they make good frying potatoes
though it is almost impossible to cream
them or make them palatable unless
mixed with other vegetables or cooked
with meat.
Before cooking canned goods place ID
a colander and drain off all juice anu
rinse with cold water The seasoning
must be supplied with good fresh but
ter, milk, salt and pepper Leave NJ
canned goods in a can that has been
opened; remove at once. This may rop
the vegetables of some food value, Du'
it is safest AID best to do So.
