Man, physically, should be like a perfectly regulated machine, each part working easily in it's appro priate place. A slight Arrangement causes undue friction and wear, and fre- quently ruins the entire system.
 A well-known educator of Boston found a way to keep the brain afd the body in that harmonious cooper alton which makes a joy of living.
 Two years ago." she writes, ''being in a condition of nervous exhaustion, resigned my position as teacher, which I had held for over 40 years. Since then the entire rest has, of course, been a benefit, but the use of Grape-Nuts has removed one great cause of illness in the past, namely, constipation, and it's attendant evils.
 T generally make my entire break fast on a raw egg be&ten into four spoonfuls of Grape Nuts, with a little hot milk or hot water added. I like 1t extremely, my food assimilates and my bowels take care of themselves. find my brain power and physical endurance much greater and I know that the use of the Grape-Nuts has contributed largely to this result
 Tt is with feelings of gratitude that write this testimonial, and trust it may be the means of aiding others in their search for health"

The old noblesse of Italy would ap- pear to have fallen on evil days. Gui- scope Morosini, descendant of Vene- tian doges, has committed suicide. to- gether with his wife, in Lugano, where he derived a precarious living from the sale of matches in the streets. Prince Piero Strozzis gift of his mort gagged palace and portraits to the city of Florence. indicates the virtual ex- tinction of this noble family. From Paris is reported the death of Don Virginia Cenci, last of his ill-famed line
 Don Virginia at least had the satis- faction of living to see the foul re- proach Of history removed from his family name after centuries of ob- 1iquy. The world now knows the un . truth of the accepted story of Beatrice Cenci's desperate defense of her honor against a brutal father. Bertolotti in 1879 cast grave doubts on the inno- cence of the "beautiful parricide." and Prof. Rodani. in 1899, fn his True Story of Beatrice Cenci," published on the three hundredth anniversary of. her execution. dispeiled the last vestige of popular sympathy which had endured for certuries.-N.
