The Building Of BIenheim.

Blenheim palace was built out Of the
first grant ever voted by parliament in
return for public services. But the
treasury proved so slow in doing out
the money for the building that the ar.
chitect, Sir John Vanbrugh, tried to
extract an advance from the Duke of
Marlborough to pay the workmen when
their wages fell into arrear. Marlbor.
ough refused to be bled. According to
Isaac Disraeli. the duke, aware that If
he gave any order or suggested any
alteration he might be involved in the
expense Of the building, was never to
be circumvented-never to be surprised
into spontaneous emotion Of pleasure
or disapprobation. Although friendly
with Vanbrugh, he never spoke to him
or to any one acting under his orders
about Blenheim. "-London Globe.

NORTHERN AFRICA.
Where Once the Ancient Romans Ruled
In Wealth and SpIendor.

Ii is not generally realized that dur
ing the early centuries of our era the
Roman proconsular province of Africa
riyaled Italy itself In wealth and bril-
liancy and that in what are now
Tunlsia and Algeria there exist Roman
ruins that vie In number, splendOr, and
state Of preservation with those to be
found anywhere else.
The fall Of Carthage In lag b. c.
led the Romans TO establish themselves
in North Africa, at first I'm n modest
settlement, the purpose Of which was
TO see that the PhoeniCian city was not
rebuilt. Ere long they themselves,
however. reoccupied the site and built
on 1t cty that became the third in
the empire
The gradual extension Of their rule
was forced on the somewhat unwilling
Romans To protect their settlement
against the predatory Phoenicians.
Llbyans, and Berbers they found It
necessary TO push their cOnquests along
the littOral to the west and the south.
into the high plateaus between the Tell
Atlas and the Sahara Atlas. and even
well into the desert itself. till a good
part Of what are now Tripoll, Tunisia,
Algeria and Morocco was ruled by
them.
The country was much more extern
siyely cultivated and thickly populated
than at present. and for centuries was
the principal granary OF Rome. After
lasting for nearly six centuries Roman
rule in North Africa was brought to
an end by the invasion of the vandaIs
from Spain and their capture of Car
thage In 400 A. D.-Argonaut.

DEEP BREATHING.
u Freshens Up the Whole System and
Kills That Tired FEELING.

iiFoO ecltn9.
Deep breathing does more than bene-
at the lungs. Psychologists tell us
that the great advantage is that 1t
gives the liver healthy squeeze. All
organs in the abdominal cavity as well
as the liver are apt to get overcharged
with blood from careless habits of
sitting. A relaxed sitting position
causes the abdominal muscles to relax
so that blood runs into this part of the
body Ike water and It accumulates
like a stagnant pool.
The blood needed I'm the brain Is
down I'm the liver. The condition pro-
duced led the ancients to refer TO n
man with the blues as a hypochondriac,
which means, literally, down under the
riDs. Today We speak of the condition
as being down in theinouth because
che lines OF the face are pulled down.
Melancholy Is due to a congested
condition Of the liver and other organs
depriving the brain of blood necessary
to keep up the normal balance of &C.
dyity. When one Is tired or feels the
detected feeling coming on, relief can
be obtained by lying on the floor with
a pillow under the middle of the back
and taking few long, deep breaths.
III the arms are thrown over the
head and a dozen deep breaths are
taken, new spirit will come into the
brain. Sometimes this is done auto
maucally, as when We throw I'D the
arms and straighten up after a crouch
