Venice is the mecca OF tourists be.
cause of its beauty and its history. II
was the link connecting Rome and
Athens. 1t felt the influence of Ara
bia and of Persia. 1t saved some OF
the Greek masterpieces from oblivion.
It's architecture shows the effect OF all
the ancient civilizations. Seated on its
III islands, with canals for streets, IL
has been renowned as
The pleasant place Of all festivity.
The revei Of the earth, the masque of
Italy.
Longfeilow called It the white swan
OF cities" and other poets have cele-
brated its glories above those of any
other city of the world. Its political
history is of enhancing interest. 1t ia
saturated with romantic traditions.
The numerous churches, the bridges,
the tombs, the palace of the doges, the
old library, the campanile and the
Academy of the Arts are among the
most ATTRACTIVE show places of Europe.
The masterpieces of those master art
lists OF the sixteenth century, Titan,
Tintoretto, Giorgione. Bellini. Paolo
veronese, Sansovino, Palladio and Da-
ponte, have given city undying glory.
In Venice the renaissance is seen
at its best and at its worst. Realism
and idealism have We'd for mastery.
Perhaps in no other city of the world
is there preserved such rich collec-
ton of the styles of painting and archi-
lecture of the different centuries.-St.

A QUEEN AND A STYLE

II is not necessary TO insist on the
utility of the handkerchief, for no one

The unfortunate young Queen Marie
Antoinette is responsible for the shape
Of the handkerchief.
On Jan. 2, 1855, a royal command
was issued that henceforth the regu-
lated form of the handkerchief should
be In the form that we are so accus-
toned to see. Before this we are led
to believe that divers forms were used
--triangles, heart shaped, points OF
star, etc.
These individual conceptions did not
please her majesty. She carried her
complaints to the pliable Louis XVI.
IT was her belief that the handkerchief
In the form of square was more ele-
CANT.
At the above date Louis had the fol-
lowing decree issued: 1.-THE length of
all handkerchiefs manufactured in the
kingdom shall be equal to their
breadth"
During all the changes of govern
ment in France, from the revolution
to the third republic, the law passed
under Louis XVI. is the only one that
has been immovable, as far as things

fed every change, and the rest of the
Christian world has I'm this respect

He confessed that he had owned tle shares
 rior to his taking the oath office Such ragrant a
 to ovsde the law showed his utter lack of fitness for office of such importance The members of the commissions regulating public utilities be men of he highest ability and the highest character They should also have sense of "the eternal fitness of thngs"' They the requirements that Caesar prescribed for his wife themselves as o avoid even the appearance Of evil. The members of the Supreme Court the United States have no more delicate responsibility than the utility commissioners In respects the commissioners position is more delicate, for uey do merely pass on laws or prnc pes but jurors in determining the geisht of conflicting evidence.
 Ii is possible that MT. Mccall might have done jus lce to the public end the utilities. the fraulo-s of the law provided his having any private fnan cal interests that might be by his official de- cisons If Mir Mccall had been best with sense of Dropriey he would have sold his holdings outright in stead resoriipg to such a subterfuge

 The father fell asleep and was awakened by smoke The roof had caught fire the chimney He tried to call the children the fumes stifed his weakened voice He had not been able to move more than his hand for days, somehow he managed inch by inch to drag himself off the bed and take ser to wards the children before fell unconscious The child burned to death. The father is in serious state The mother is on the verge of mental collapse.
 When studies a like this with a view to pre- venting future accidents similar type lead in many directions.
 Why did the roof catch fire? Because the cabin nimsy built as to be unfit for human habitstion but the community was careless enough to let humans in habit it.
 Why the mother away? Because the family need ed her small earnings badly and the community was careless enough to allow her to out at night job after a day spent at another one.
 Why couldn't earn enough at one job to keep the family comfortable? she educated by the community into any sort of skill Her labor was rough and untraned and worth but little
 Why couldn't the father support the family? Because he dying of the white plague The whole country is careless enough to let people and die of bercuosis perfectly preventable disease.
