Petrarch was at this time a young man of engaging appearance, comely, if not strikingly handsome, ;with a high color and a complexion rather fair than dark. His eyes were animated in expression and remarkably keen of sight -in the Laurentian library por- trait they are rather small, but very clear a'hd beautiful -he was of middle height, and his limbs, though not very strong, were well knit and agile. In early and middle life his health was robust, and he Was extremely tem- perate In his habits, "drinking nothing but water throughout his childhood and down to the close of the period of youth." From the Laurentian por- trait we see further that he had an intellectual face, with a rather low but very, massive forehead, a large, straight nose, delicately arched eye - rows, high and well modeled cheek bones and a beautiful mouth, with lips ithat shut at once firmly and smilingly.

It seemed to him such a :spectacle as might be af- forded by the aight of a boa constrictor feeding on a alu11 sized and kicking donkey. " `Enjoy that staff?' he asked the big darky. "Had he enjoyed jt! The Barky grin- ned and licked his .ehops suggestively. "'Could you eat Any more o' that junk?' he asked the frig negro.: "The negro Invited him to try him - dared him, in fact, to And out. "'Get a couple more of those sand- wiches,' my friend said to the black, and gave him the honey to pay for them at the wagon presided over by the negro woman iu ebarge of feeding the gang. "The black sat down with the other two huge salt pork snnclwiehes and put them away with the same easy and facile unction that he had exhibited in disposing of the first two. My friend stood and watched him as be put 'em away. Then he shook his bead over and over again. He couldn't wider - stead it It was beyond reason. Ills own diet consisted of a little Milk with graham wafers, and the idea that any two legged creature could get away with, much less like, such a terrific mess as those four salt pork sand- wiches came to -oh, it was the world upside down, that was all. "Well, this dyspeptic friend of mine reminded me of a rather celebrated character who used to live in Washing- ton many years ago -now long in the land of the beyond. He was a noted wit and bon vivant. 13ut through ex- cessive and kinkish eatiug and drink- ing- drinking particularly - be had quite ruined his stomach long before i ever met him,. IIe bad rulned it so thoroughly that he could eat nothing but frozen feted -frozen consommes, frozen fruits, frozen creams, and the like. In fact, he existed almost wholly on ice cream, which was made partic- ularly for him by a chef whom be em- ployed for fixing up his frozen foods. Hot stuff of any sort was poison to this man with the lining of his stom- al h all gone, and even a morsel of the sort of natural food we ordinary mor- tals partake of would have put him out of the game entirely. "So, with praiseworthy philosophy, this clever and accomplishecl man re- signed himself to the system of getting his gastronomic fun by proxy -that is to say, he'd enjoy watching other folks eat. He'd provide the ways and means. He'd do all of the buying. I've enjoy- ed some rare old feasts myself at that man's Washington house. I was just one of the good eaters, with a perfect stomach, whom he bad on his list "He'd find out the stuff thf t I or any of the others liked the most-, and then he'd have us come to his home to par- take of that stuff. There'd be terrapin, perfectly cooked game of all kinds, richly fixed vegetables, ornate anti rich pastries, exteaordinarily fine coffee, de- Iightfully bouqueted wines -everything imaginable, and a good deal of the stuff, as you may imagine, to the last degree indigestible, except for folks whose internal mechanism was of oast iron and in perfect working condition. "And so, with such a spread all set and in process of being served, this wit, `all in' himself, from the, gastro ic - nompoint of view, would lean back and just watch ns fellows, friends of his, eat and enjoy ourselves. He'd bo taking little mouthfuls of his frozen stuff -a bit of frozen asparagus or frozen consorlime, or the like -while we went on with the feast, and there'd be a wistful gleam in his eyes as he watched us putting awny the bucks and the terrapin and the choice wines -he wasn't allowed a mouthful of wine even, I should have said. Then when It 'teaall over there were huge cigars ready for us -he wasn't permit. 'ted to emote) anything whatever -and theh we'd just lie back and blow the heavy, odoriferous rings of smoke into his face and enjoy life up to the end of tlle'httndle. "Now, ;we used to wonder if this n't man wasinfletleg needless torture upon himself, but it really seemed as if he was not. We used to ask himabout that, hi fact, and he invariably replied that, next to eating tho fine truck hinieelf, he enjoyed seeing pee. pie capable Of appreciating It and enjoying eating the stuff. 1 alnrays thought, though, that hit-endow*r1M' ho ti e t. ro ay of ro g it n- (1 - 's u- s, It d. n e r 0 s. f .,..-,-_._0.0_10, Cure for Weak Lungs "I hav-o.used your Psychine for about six itnonth'a, and have found it au ex- cellent .remedy for pneumonia and weak lunge.'•" ;Ronald Johnson, Farewell, Oort,, ATM. !15, 1007, u"Assyciiino is one of the best meal - clung ym the market, and for all throat and lung 'troubles is unoxeolled.

It is almost always a hidden tiny little nerve that reully is all at fault. This obscure nerve -the Cardiac, or Heart Nerve -simply needs, and must have, more power, more stability, more controlling, more governing strength. Without that the Heart must continue to fail, and the stomach and kidneys also have these same controlling nerves. This clearly explains why.9ts a medicine, Dr. Shoop's Restorative has in the past done so much for weak and ailing Hearts. Dr. Shoop first sought the cause of all this painful, palpitating, suffocat- ing heart distress. Dr. Shoop's Restorative -this popular p scription-is alone directed to these weak and wasting nerve centers. It builds; it:strengthens; it offers real, genuine heart help.

It is a matter of common observation that grass does not grow so well close to trees as In the open. The same .Is true of grains. Experiments in Eng -A land and in this country have shown that the deleterious effects of the near neighborhood of grass and trees are Mutual. The tree suffers as well as the grass and grain. .This is especially true of fruit tree~, The cause is as- cribed to the excretions by the trees, on the one hand, of substances poisonous to the grass and by the grass; on the , other hand, of substances poisonous to the trees. It thus appears that the fail- ure of grass to grow well near trees should not be ascribed to too much shade nor to the exhaustion by the tree roots of the food supply needed by the grass, -i -Exchange, ONLY A Common Cold BUT IT BECOMES A SERIOUS MATTER IF NEGLECTED.

Get rid of it at once by taking Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup Obstinate coughs yield to its grateful soothing action, and on the racking, per. sietont cough, often present in Consumptive oases, it gives prompt and sure relief. In Asthma and Bronchitis it is a succoeaful remedy, rendering breathing easy and natural, enabling the sufferer to enjoy re- freshing sleep, and often effecting a per- manont cure. We do not claim that it will etre Con- sumption in tho advanced stages, but if taken in time it will prevent it reaching that stage, and will give the greatest relief to the poor sufferer from this terrible malady.

Catgut strings, it Is well known, are made of the intestines of sheep. The intestines .of the full grown animal are from forty to fifty feet long. The raw material trona the stock- yards is first thoroughly cleansed of fat and fleshy fiber by dull knives at': ranged on a drum tamed by a crank, The white tough membrane that is left isthea handed over to the split- ter, who dexterously splits the mate- rial into even strands by brigglug it against the blade of a safety razor set upright in the table before hits. The strands are then spun together and placed on the drying frames. An American E violin string re- quires six strands, the European four. The strands, .at one end fasteued to au upright post, are twisted together while still damp and pliable by means of a spinning wheel. Taken from the drying frames, the striugs are cut in lengths, coiled and boxed in oiled pa- per for shipment, To polish the strings very fine emery paper laid on a grooved aluminium block is used. While the strings are still on the drying frame the covered block is passed over the strings, polishing as many at one time as there are grooves in the block. It can be seen that from the manner in which the strands are twisted the ef- fect of polishing is to weaken the string. In the essential features the process of making the fine gut strings for sur- gical uses or the heavy strings three- eighths of an inch thick sometimes employed for machinery belting does not differ from the method employed in the case of the musical strings ex- cept that the latter are handled with more care. DARING PHOTOGRAPHY. Perilous Feats of the Men Who Ma- nipulate the Cameras. A man who can stand or sit on the flange of a steel beam not so wide as the sole of your shoe and 600 feet above a roaring granite paved city street, there coolly to take successful pictures of the top of the city far be- low hint, must be possessed of three qualifications and each of the first wa- ter. He must have judgment, patience and courage, these three, and, oue may add without slighting the other two, the greatest of these is courage. So writes II. G. Hunting in tbe Technical World Magazine. The eager eye of the camera goes everywhere nowadays, and the man who makes- picture getting his busi- ness adopts no peaceful, unexciting- pursuit. nexcitingpursuit. If he is under contract to a great uewspaper or magazine he may be called upon to secure a piettire of anything, from a flashlight in the black depths of a metropolitan sewer to a portrait of the fairest white slave in a Turkish harem. He may be asked to "get" a female grizzly nursing her whelps in her mountain lair to illus- trate some naturalist's work at one end of the your, and before the other end has come he may snap a shutter on the lip of some smoking volcanos crater. When you see a striking or a star- tling picture of man or beast in some extraordinary place or pose, do you ever stop to think where the photog- rapher was wbo made the negative or how he got there? Pepper In Olden Times. During the middle ages in Europe pepper was the most esteemed and im- portant of all the spices. Genoa, Ven- ice and other commercial cities of cen- tral Europe were indebted to their traffic in pepper for a large part of their wealth. Its importance as a menus of promoting commercial activ- ity and civilization during the middle ages can hardly be overrated. Tribute was levied in pepper, and donations were made in this spice, which was frequently also used as a medium of exchange in place of money. When the imperial city of Rome was be- sieged by Alaric, the king of the Goths, in 408 A. D., the ransom demanded In- cluded 5,000 pounds of gold, 30,000 pounds of silver and 3,000 pounds of pepper, illustrating the importance of this spice at that time. For Poetical Reasons. "Perchance," called the amiable wid- ow, idow, "come here!" The little lapdog trotted meekly up. "Surely that Is a strange name for a dog!" exclaimed the gentleman visitor. 1 "What made you name him Per- chance?" "I am so fond of poetry!" explained the lady lucidly, "Madam, forgive me, but I fail to see the applicability." "why, silly man," exclaimed the merry widow, "I 'named it after By- ' ron's dog! Don't you remember where he says, 'Perchance my dog will howl?'" What He Knew. , Master -If your friend were to bor- row 12 shillings from you, agreeing to pay 1 shilling a month, how much would he two at the end of the year? Pupil -Twelve shillings.
