In the early summer Of this year an
American family visited Venice, pur-
posing remaining there until late fall.
The visit was somewhat enforced, for
the head of the family had been
strongly recommended by his phy-
stefan to spend three or four months
in Venice, since there he could, it
was thought, better recuperate from
the effects of severe surgical opera
ton. The American family was re-
called by the news of the probable
outbreak of q general European war,
an intimation of that kind having
been received from DIR. Nicholas Muir
ray Butler, president of Columbia
University, who was in Germany just
before the declaration OF war was
made.
The sudden departure from Venice
of this family made it impossible for
them even to bid good-by to one of
their closest friends. an Italian noble
man, wno both in his personality and
his experience as a diplomat. was an
interesting character.
This nobleman was by name Henrico
Capri, and he bore the rank of count,
with a long pedigree of association
with the aristocraey of Italy.
Count Capri, in his early life, or
until he was past sixty, had been in
The diplomatic service of Italy, and
in that relation had met almost all
of the distinguished European diplo
matists of his time.
In conversation with Count Capri
early in the summer he said to the
American:
II can give you some very inter
esting accounts OF many of the fa-
nous men aud women of more than
two generations ago. You wonder
why I am able to tell YOU something

GREAT CITY BUT
WH|M OF A KING.
Beautiful Piece of Architecture
Built in Honor of Child
of Royalty.

To the south Of Agra in the centre
of Hindustsn lies The great city of
Fatehpur Sikri, city of untrodden
streets. which for nearly four cen
turtles has been deserted by all save
the jackal and the leopard and few
humble weavers who find refuge be-
meath its lofty walls. History has no
parallel to this astounding collection
of palaces and halls. of broad paved
streets and great eourtyards, the
Whole created, one might say, on the.
spur of the moment as the outcome
of a kingly Whim, and as suddenly
deserted. The city of Fatehpur SilSri
stands, as it was left in q state of
astonishing preservation.
Mohammedan history tells us that
the creation Of Fatehpur Sikri was
due to the prophecy of q saint The
Emperor Akbar. who ruled in India
in the sixteenth century, halted Oh
the side of the city when returning
from his great conquest of Western
India to interview the saint in ques-
ton and secure his prayers for son
and heir. The advice of the saint
was to the effect that the emperor
should send his so-called Portuguese
Christian wife to reside at Fatehpur

displayed in the carving and decora-

lofty walls extend for seven miles,
and the city itself stands upon

thereto being by seven different gate
ways. 1t was a beautiful city, and
interest in it is UNCHANGED by the

a few years, and then abandoned,

! Rigid Diet Latest Aid for Victims OF
Psoriasis.
The skin, like the family closet, is
used to cover bony skeleton, and
some other vital secrets. One of the
infections OF this bag that incloses
all that is in the cosmos of your life
is called psoriasis.
Psoriasis is a malady, of the dermal
carpets of the body, characterized by
dry, scaly, silvery crusts, which
average in size about the circumfer-
ence of a quarter. These may be as
small as a pin head or as large as
melon.
At times they itch a little. When
scraped away, tiny bleeding points
are visible. Unlike eczema, which
leaves much moisture when scraped,
the under surface Of the crusts are
dry and scaly.
The cure of psoriasis has always
been sore as well as q. disputed
point among medical men. Many con-
tend that it can be surrounded and
defeated temporarily, only to recover
and mobilize its presence once again
Others maintain that there are ways
and, means of medical endeavor by
which psoriasis can absolutely
wholly and for all time be sent to
limbo.
