ConNalescence.

The return from Illness to health Is
like coming up from a dive, supposing
the time from when the swimmer first
sees light through the water until mis-
head rises to the surface to be the
affair OF weeks. The change in phys
ical condition may be slow, but the
change in orientatlon takes place in
a twinkling and is complete. The eye
no longer looks down into unplumbed
deeps, but back toward the light of
day; curiosity for the ultimate yields
to golden memory of familiar things
friends, household goods, books,
barking dogs, the freshness of grass
and trees. The body has reasserted
itself. The dreaming Imagination is
dragged away from its goal by the
galloping senses. Eye, ear, touch,
taste start upon rampage. Especially
does the appetite for food wax furious,
discovering itself endowed with power
TO transform a coddled egg into some
thing rich and strange, and to illumine
chicken broth with a charm that no
art can equal. The universe, lately
shrunk to the sickroom, now rises
again like the genie out of the bottle
in which he had been imprisoned; the
sickrOom becomes a house of deten-
ton, and at its door, as in a seashell
clapped to the ear, the convalescent
hearkens to all the rumors of the outer
world.-Henry Dwight Sedgwick, ID

In ancient times the name Eplrus

the inhabitants of the district as semi

Aristotle gave it as the original home

Famed Oracle of Ancients.
Epirus became world-renowned even

Philip ii of Macedon. Olympias lives
in history as the mother of Alexander
the Great. From Alexander's aunt de-
scended Pyrrhus, who waged a long
war with Rome in behalf of the Taren-
tines and who made Epirus a power in
world politics for short time. More
than $50 years after the death OF
Pyrrhus, Epirus again came in con-
flict with Rome as the ally of Perseus,
the Macedonian who mounted a throne
over the body OF his murdered broth
er Demetrius. The Romans under
Aemilius Paulus annihilated the forces
OF Perseus at Pydna GIGS Il. O., and
took the defeated king in triumph to
the capital. The punishment melted
out to Eplrus for its share in the war
was the destruction of 20 of it's prin-
cipal citiSs and the enslavement of
10000 of its people-a blow from
which the kingdom never recovered.
With the partition OF the Roman EN-
pire Epirus was given to the eastern
emperors. When the Latins took Con-
stantinople in 1904 il became a posses
sion of Michel Angelus Comnenus. In
succeeding centuries the territory has
been variously governed and misgov-
erned by Albanians, Venetians and
Turks.
Five Famous Rivers.
At LackmOn, in the mountains of
Pindarus, five illustrious rivers are
born: the Aspro-Potamo, the ancient
AchelOos, greedy for sacrifices, which
separates Aetolia from Acarnania and
empties into the Ionian sea; the Pc.
neus, which passes all through Thes-
sally; the Hallakmon, which flows by
, Macedonia; the Arachtos, which paral-
lels the Pindus, and the great AOus,
with its high banks. There are wood
ed dells and mountain forests-all so
wild and inspiring as to really have
made the proper setting for the up
building of the great primitive myths
of Greece, which could not have grown
up anywhere else.
But the real treasures of the early
days of Epirus are for the most part
still held by the faithful earth. In

the oracle had been founded by an
Egyptian princess who had been spir-

As the rivalry between the oracle of
Zeus at Dodona and that of Apollo
at Delphi grew mere keen the
prlestesses of the former invented new
methods of receiving messages, among
these being the Interpretation Of the

the oak tree, the sound of the wind
rushing through the brazen cauldrOns
which stood in a circle near the tenn
pie, and the sounds ade by a metal
tipped whip as the wind drove 1t

lans, Spartans and eastern potentates
consulted the oracle and it is said
that Croesus, the last king of Lydia,
also consulted Dodona as to whether
he should attempt campaign against
Cyrus, king of the Perslans. Unhap-

QUAKE IN The SOUTH
SEVERAL CITIES HIT BY sHocK0
AND HURRICANE.
Wind Blows at Rate Of One Hundred
Miles an Hour at Mobile
Ships Wrecked.

Atlanta, Ca, Oct. 20.-The South
was rocked by earthquake and swept
by storm at the same time on Thurs
day. While a tropical hurricane was
fiaying the gulf coast, earth tremOrs
overturned chimneys and frightened
many people from their homes in
Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee.
The earthquake did little damage,
but wind that reached a velocity Of
la miles an hour lifted roofs from
houses at Pensacola, Fla, and sunk
number of vessels in the harbOr. One
life was lost. The property loss was
estimated at $1,OO0,O00.
Mobile reported that it had been
touched more lightly, although the
wind blew 10 miles an hour. Two
small buildings were destroyed and a
negro woman was killed by live wire.
Shipping at Mobile had been warned
and apparently suffered little harm.
Two river steamers were sunk,
schooner and a steamer were driven
ashore and small boats were lost.
The earth shocks were felt shortly
after four o'clock and were severest In
Montgomery and Birmingham, Ala,
where swaying Office buildings were
emptied within few minutes. In these
cities chimneys were destroyed and
articles were hurled from shelves in
residences and shops.
The earthquake was felt as far
north as Louisville, KY, and east to
Augusta, Ga. Its duration was about
three minutes and there were two
shocks.
