Roses discovered in tembs containing iam mtmmies often have their colors

The Health Valine of a Beard.

Many people are not aware of the bene- fits, from a health point, derived from wearing beards. They are better respirators than science could ever make.

‘The hair of the mustache not only ab- sorbs the moisture and miasma fogs, but & strains the air from the dust and soot of éur great smoky cities. It acts also in the most scientific manner by taking heat from the warm breath as it leaves the chest and supplying it to the cold air taken in. It is « respirator and a comforter as well, so that with a good, thick, bushy board, a man might face a blizzard with impunity.

Moffat and Livingstone, the African ex- plorers, and many other travelers, say that at nigt no wrap could equal the beard.— Pearson's Weekly.

SEARCHING FOR A MODEL. It Took Sir weedeste Leighton Six Months te Find His Ideal.

To be selected as the one woman in |

all of Europe whose face and figure most closely tallied with the ideal of England’s greatest painter is surely nc empty honor. When the late Sir Fred- eric Leighton, president of the Royal academy and foremost among British artists, conceived the ideaof his famons painting, ‘‘Cymon and Iphigenia,’’ he sought in all quarters of the continent for a suitable model to pose as the sleeping maiden, now so familiar in his finished canvas. After a fruitless search of six months he came upon the incar- nation of his soul’s ideal in the capital of his native land. Curiously enough, be found the model he had so long sought behiud the footlights of a thea- ter.

She was Miss Dorothy Dene, a young woman of remarkable beauty, both in face and figure. Sir Frederic told her of his inspiration, the contemplated can- vas and her fulfillment of his ideal for the central figure. Miss Dene graciously

‘ months later the artist’s conception of a

beatiful picture became a reality and was the most admired of ail Sir Fred- eric’s works.

Miss Dene is as perfect a type of Greek beauty ascan be feund at the present day. Every line of her face and figure is classical in the highest degree. She is rather above the average in height, has long, lithe limbs and an ex- quisitely molded bust. Her hair is curly ard golden, and her lustrous eyes have the hue of violets. In addition to all these charms she is said to possess the most beautiful complexion of any wom- én in Europe. What wonder that such a superb creature inspired Sir Frederic to his greatest efforts!

Miss Dene continued to be Sir Fred- eric’s model long after he had given **Cymon and Iphigenia’’ to the world. Her form and features can be readily recognized in a number of other works by the same artist. In Sir Frederic’s painting of ‘“‘Greek Girls Playing Ball’ she is represented as the maiden who is catching the ball. This canvas notably displays the actress’ exquisite figure. Miss Dene’s shapely arms may be noted in “Summer Moon,’’ another well known painting by Leighton.

A year or two before Sir Frederic’s death it was gossiped in London that the artist was madly in love with his mo@el, but that some -obstacle or other was in the way of their marriage. Just what the obstacle was no one seemed to know. Possibly it was the disparity in their ages. Leighton, at the time of his death—about a year ago—-was only 70 years old. Miss Dene is now about 28. Dorothy Dean visited the United States in 1893. She undertook the prediction of classical plays popular in England, but almost unknown on this side of the water. Little success attended the ven- ture, and her tour was finally abandon- ed. In England Miss Dene enjoys much popularity. Not only does she reign su- preme as a queen cf beauty, but her histrionic ability, which is of no mean order, has won her the praise of notable critios and fellow artists. Miss Dene lives with her four sisters, all of whom are remarkably pretty, in a charming apartment in South Kensington, Lon- den, a section of the city colonized chiefly by artists aud theatrical folk and quite as picturesque in many of its features as is the famous Quartier Latin of Paris.—New York Commercial.

President Isaac Lewis of Sabina, Ohio, is highly respected all through that section. He has lived in Clinton Co. 75 years, and has: been president of the Sabina Bank 20 years. He gladly testifies to the merit of Hood’s Sarsa- parilla, and what he says is worthy attention. All brain workers find Hood’s Sarsaparilla peculiarly adapted to their needs. It makes pure, rich, red blood, and from this comes nerve, mental, bodily and digestive strengti.

“Tam gled to say that Hood’s Sarsapa- rilla is a very good medicine, especially as a blood purifier. It has done me good many times. For several years I suffered greatly with pains of

Neuralgia

in one eye and about my temples, es- pecially at night when I had been aaving a hard day of physical and mental labor. Itook many remedies, but found help only in Hood’s Sarsaparilla which cured me of rheumatism, neuralgia and headache. Hood’s Sarsaparilla has proved itself a true friend. I alo take Heod’s Pills to keep my bowels regular, and like the pills very much.” Isaac LEWIS, Sa}ina, Ohio.

' Gladys and Her Wheel, It was a windy cay in March When Gladys got her wheel— The sort of day when crimps need starch— And many were the glances arch When Gladys got her wheel.

The neighbors all iooked out to see When Gladys got her wheel.

Her wild gyrations toward a tree

Filled their unhcly souls with glee When Gladys got her wheel.

Nine little boys sat on the fence When Gladys got her wheel. They saw her fall, with grief intense, And watched her ride, with joy immenss, When Gladys got her wheel,

But little work was done that day When Gladys got her wheel.

Folks couldn't keep their eycs away,

And some felt there was need to pray When Gladys got her wheel.

For, oh, the wind was bold and free When Gladys got her wheel. It blew her over finally, And Dr. Johnson got a fee When Gladys got her wheel. —Somerville Journal

Reflection is a key that unlocks the treasures of the inemory.

RAILWAY TIES.

There are 106 kinds of car couplers used on the United States railroads.

The third class railway fares in Hun- gary average only 1 penny for six miles.

In Illinois there are 10,500 miles of rail- road, over which were carried last year 68,485,413 passengers, with the loss of only 12 lives.

On the new Jungfrau railway no pas- sengers will be accepted until examined medically, and if any travelers feel ill they must get out, and they will be afiorded medical attendance.

Prizes to the amount of 90,000 marks were recently distributed to 2,520 em- ployees of the Prussian state railways, 1,206 of who:n have been in the service 25 years, 875 at least 35 years and 39 as long as 50 years.
