WHEN THE, LAST CHILD LEAVES.
For half your life you've laboured
with •the.chiidreu" in your mind
Sometimes a little step ahead, settles
times a smile behind,
And many a night you've ponderedon
the ee�•O the how
t t svhe»c n ;rs i`
But you did it. yep. you did it;
raised 'eta one and ail, and now, --
Goodness, but it's lonely when the
last child leaves;
The year is et the autumn and the very
weather grieves;
The skies are gloorned and raining
The whipped trees are complaining
And there's sobbing in the •chimney and
a weeping at the•eaves,
For, oh, it's lonely, lonely., when the
last child leaves
There's a good deal of that feeling
when the baby went to school,
Or the big boy went to work, (as inde—
pendent as a mute)
Or the girl went off to •college, with
a happy hurried kiss,
But always there were eomingsbaek.
It never was like .this!
So, oh, it's lonely, when the last child's
left,
The living -room has suffered loss, the
bed -rooms cry of theft,
And eke the cheerfarl dining•room
.Becomes a sad repining room
For every room is lonely when the
whole house is bereft,
So, oh, it's lonely lonely, when the last
child's left.
Tou cannot change the universe, you
wouldn't if you could,
Your link is in the chain of life, and
somehow that is good,
But you were first to them so long, in all
their joys and cares,
And now the last one's left you to re-
membrances -and prayers.
So, oh, it's lonely lonely, when the last
child's gone;
Seems's 'most like a waste of time,
just living on and on, (
With no one left to do for,
To hustle for and stew for,
And you know the dusk around you is
the twilight, not the dawn.
So, oh, it's lonely lonely, when the last
child's gone. -Edmund Vance
Cook, in Harper's Weekly.
Bad Cold in the Chest.

The Grief Habit.
Oh. neighbor sad -hearted, with dolor-

plaining when young; you learned how
to grumble at grandmother's knees,
and not how to bumble and buzz like

years made their race, and longer and
longer you pulled out your face; and
louder and louder you voiced your soul
pains, till people said, "Chowder the
man has for brains." For grief is a
habit like clucking with fowls, Iike fear
to a rabbit, like hooting to owls. When
once you have got it, there's nothing
will please; your spirit, dod rot it. is
never at ease; you'roar when its rain-
ing, when heavens are blue: complain-
ing, complaining, is all you can do. So,
parents and grannie, keep tap on the
kids, the Neds and the Nannies, the
Susies and Sids, and when they're re-
pining and fretful and cross, say,
"There'll be no whining while I am the

SIGH OF THREE BALLS

SHIELD OF THE MEDICI.
Florentine Family W.ose Operations
Its the Field of Banking and
Loans I3rought Them Enormous
Wealth Ruled the Civilized World
For Three C'euturies--- Six Bails
at First.
Back. in the 13th century, there
lived in Florence, Italy, a family
called Medici, whose chief buslneus
was running the city of Florence and
most of the beaks in the civilized
world.
Besides owning a large number of
banks, the Medici bad a monopoly on
the loan business in that part of the
country. Their coat of arms was a
shield with six balls emblazoned an
it, but as the loan business spread
to other parts of the world and slip-
ped out of the Medici hands, three
bails and the shield were dropped
and the remaining three, suspended
over a doorway, have always sufficed
to indicate that within money can be
borrowed.
No other house in mediaeval Eu-
rope can boast of such a strange ca-
reer as that of the Medici. Bankers
by profession, possessing no military
resources, gifted with no experience
in war, aided by no general convul-
sion, they established a despotism
which lasted for three centuries, The
Aledici owed their earliest distinction
to their success in various branches
of commerce which brought, them
enormous wealth, and the liberal
spirit with which they devoted their
mousy to general utility.
Cosmo de Medici was fond of pay-
ing the taxes of thore who had run
behind and so when he suggested to
this large majority of the city that
he would like to take a hand in run-
ning Florence as it ought to be run,
they all agreed that they should like
to see him do it. And when a rival
family, called the Albizzi, established
a successful opposition against the
policy and credit of the Medici rule,
they came forward and chased the
presumptuous Albizzi clear up to
Venice; and Cosmo, who had been
banished to the same city, came back
and became the uncrowned King of
Florence, and was given the title,
"Father of His Country."
The most famous member of the
family was Lorenzo, surnamed the
Magnificent. He was a grandson of
Cosmo, and besides running loan
shops and banks in France, England,
the Low Countries, the Levant and a
few other places, he became the vir-
tual head of the Florence state, and
what he said was law. He had a
crowd of five or six men hangii g
around who, theoretically, had some-
thing to say about how the city
should be governed, but Lorenzo
merely ignored them, and they were
glad. to be allowed to draw their
s laries.
• Before he succeeded to power, and
while his father, Pietro, was getting
things in smooth running order for
hie,Lorenzo married Clarice Orsini,
a member of one of the greatest feint -
lies in Italy. Lorenzo was not very
enthusiastic as he had had his eye on
a certain black-eyed Lucrezia Dona -
ti, but his wise father realized the
benefit of an alliance with the Or-
sini who divided the most of terri-
torial Italy with their hereditary
enemies, the Colonna. Besides the
house was famous for its numerous
cardinals and gay blades, val[rablo
considerations in those days.
In 1478, the conspiracy of the Paz-
zi came near putting an end to the
Medici, but after much mutual mur-
der and with the help of the Orsini,
Lorenzo got a firmer bold on the
state of Florence than ever, so that
in the end he was glad lie took Clar-
ice instead of running after Lucrezia.
Lorenzo now started in to rule his
native city as it had never been ruled
before. He followed in the footsteps
of his grandfather and won the favor
of the lower classes, thereby making
absolute his own power, And to win
the favor of the highbrows, strug-
gling authors and the club women,
he encouraged literature and the
arts, employed learned men to col-
lect choice books and antiquities for
him from every part of the known
world, established printing presses in
his dominions, founded academies for
the study of `classical learning and
filled his gardens with a collection
of the remains of ancient art. He
himself wrote a number of poems and
drar-atic compositions, and could
talk Greek and Latin as well as he
did Italian. When his munificence
and conciliatory manners had gained
for him the affection of the higher
and the devotion of the lower
classes, T.orenzo lost no time in mak-
ing use of his popularity. While they
were all praising frim and telling
each other what a noble fellow he
was, he :slipped is and took away
from the::r cal forms of constitutional
independence that he and his prede-
eessors had allowed to exist.
Some few Florentines, alarmed by
the progress of the voluptuous re-
finement which was smothering every
spark of personal independence,
tried to call a halt on Lorenzo and
stem the current of corruption by
an aseetie severity of morals, which
gained for them the name of "plag-
noni," or weepers. Foremost among
them wa t the Dominican friar, Giro-
lamo aavotiarota, whose eloqttent
appeal to the people in favor of a
popular government and a life of as-
ceticism threatened for a time to
overthrow the Medici. But after
Lore.nzo's death a reaction against
the ti.onlc'rr preaching set in and he
*was burned at the stake.

Story of How en Ohio City Came to

About 100 years ago a little settle -
went existed at tbe mouth of the Mau,

commander. nder. The little town was not
prosperous, and Ove years later Major
Stickuey, an enthusiastic but eceentrie
man, founded another settlemeut right
next to Port Latwreuc-e and called tris
village Vistula. Both settlements were
stimulated somewhat by the oonmped.
tion, but neither prospered sufieleutly,.
and one year later it was proposed to
unite the towns,
Everything was easily arranged ex-
cept the name, and here trouble arose.
Major Stickuey insisted that the hew
community accept the name of his
part, Vistula, but the citizens were not
prepared to have a name thrust upon
them by one whose peculiarities led
hina to name his two children "No. 1"
and "No, 2." This fact iu the major's
family life was enough to cause any
suggestion from him to be received
skeptically.
The discussions were many and heat-
ed
eated when Willard Daniels, a merchant
of Vistula, suggested that they adopt
the name of Toledo. the anrlent capital
of Spalu. He explained that the word
originally was "i'oledoth; froua the
Hebrew, weaning "Mother of People,"
and Mr. Daniels said they ought to be
able to come together under such a
title of peace. Another reason was the
remarkable nearness in latitudes of
both places, in Spain and in Ohio, the
actual difference being ouly a little
more than one degree. Further argu-
ments were that it was pleasant in
sound, easy to Pronounce and that no
city of the westeru continent as yet
bore tbe name,
His reasoning prevailed, and the
united towns assumed the name To -
Mo. That they remained true to it
is sbown in the fact that their first
permnuent newspaper was called the
Toledo Blade, in recognitiou of the fact
that Toledo, Snpin, was famed all over
the world for the quality of the sword

ELEVATORS IN EUROPE.
Except in First Class Hotels They Are
Crude Affairs.
The use of passenger elevators is not
nearly so generul in Europe as it is in
the United States. le Germany and
France most hotels .of the ver ' highest
class, catering to wealthy foreign trate
elers, are equipped with elevators
much like the American type, and in-
tended to be freely used both up and
down. The cheapest hotels and many
very good ones at moderate prices,
though four or five stories high, are
not provided with elevators.
The almost universal type for me-
dium .priced hotels has a wooden cage
3 by 5 feet, intended for five per-
sons.
ersons. It is driven by a four horse-
power electric motor and controller] by
a series of push buttons on the outside
at the bottom. A person desiring to go
to the third floor enters the car, and
the attendant (or, rather, any servant,
for there is no elevator boy) pushes
button No. 8, the car stops at the
third door, and the passenger steps out
and calls c a the shaft that the car

is free.

sengers down. Stairs are for that pur•
pose. As the French have it, this in-
stitution is an "aseeuseur" and not by
any chance a "descensenr." In any
ease, It is a privilege to use it.
A few office buildings are equipped
with the same type elevator; but, as
a rule, none except the most preten-
tious offices have elevators.-indianap•

Corral freedom. Recent events show
that woman's part in public life has
grown to the proportions of t mass
movement with the av a kening of hu-
man conscience, and that Russian
women are actually making as inure
progress as the women of other En.
ropean countries, The University of
Tomsk has petitoned the Minister of
Education to enable woolen of Siber-
ian birth to graduate in medicine and
au important congress in St. Peters-
burg, presided over by the ex -Minis-
ter of Education, and comprising
1,000 delegates, has suggested many
reforms that will render the path of
women's education less thorny.
It is a psychological effect of the
recognition of woman's advance that
they have spontaneously developed
an amaein, ability, courage and or-
ganizing "power. The fact that there
are. now about a thouasnd Russian
women practicing as doctors is sufli-
cleat justiliration for their advent in-
to that profession.
The question of admitting women
to the bar was recently raised by the
appearance of a lady, whom the St.
Petersburg Bar Association had ac-
cepted as a member, as attorney in a
criminal case. The prosecuting attor-
ney refused to proceed with the ease,
h"lding *,lat women under Russian
law were not authorized to practice
and he was supported by the Imperial
Senate. Over 100 women have quali'
fed as lawyers and they are making
great efforts to obtain a footing in
the legal profession. There is urgent
need for their services in wide areas
where the population of the country
districts is entirely withoet legal ad-
vice. The agitation to obtain that re-
form is powerfully supported and a
large and influentially attended meet-
ing has been held In St. Petersburg
to protest against the continued ex-
clusion of women.
Pity the Editor.
"What's the matter?" inquired the
foreman as he entered the sanctum
for copy, and noted the editor's swol-
len forehead, puffed red eye, and tat-
tered, dusty coat. "Did you fall down-
stairs?"
"No—only that," replied the edi-
tor, pointing with his finger to a
paragraph in the paper before him.
It's in our account of the Crapley-
Smith wedding. It ought to read:
Miss Smith's C' .ipled, shining face
formed a pleasing contrast to Mr.
Crapley's strong, bold physiognomy.'
But see how it was printed."
And the foreman read: "Miss
Smith's pimpled, skinny face formed
a pleasing contrast to Mr. Crapley's
strange, bald physiognomy."
"Crapley was just in here," contin-
ued the editor, throwing one blood -
streaked handkerchief into the waste-
paper basket, and feeling in his
picket for a clean one, "and he ---

Loss of Musical Memory.
One of the most notable cases of
sudden losss of musical memory
re-
lated is that of Emile Prudent. One
day in a concert while playing his
own concerto with orchestra, he lost
all consciousness of the connection
between the notes, and from that
time he had music only as confused
sounds. Neither from his own play-
ing nor from that of the orchestra
could he gain a distinct idea and
found that he had completely Iost
the ability to read the notes. From
this attack, however, he soon recov-
ered. The gravest symptoms disap-
peared the next day, but from that
time he could play only from notes,

No Use For Fresh Air.
OId time doctors bad no faith in the
virtues of fresh air. Andrew Boorde
in his "Compendyous Regyment or
Dietary of Heidi," published 1542,
writes: "To bedward and also in the
morning use to have a fire in your
chamber, to waste and consume evil
vapours within the chamber, for the
breath of man may putrify the air
within the chamber. In the night let
the windows of your house, specially
of your chamber, be closed, let your
nightcap be of scarlet, and this, I do
advertise you, to cause to be made a
good thick quilt of cotton, • or else of
pure flocks or of clean wool, and let
the covering of it be of white fustian,
and lay it on the feather bed that you
do lie on." -London Chronicle.

Beauty

Cleanliness the 'Essential—Cheap
Soaps and Powders to
be Avoided
Cheap, inferior soaps and
pore -clogging powders are
the greatest enetnie:, to the
health and beauty of the skin. Skin powders are in
reality only white dirt. They absorb the perspiration
and form a sort of paste, which seals up the pores and
positively stops the natural eliminating action of the skin.
To have a beautiful skin, you should use only the best of soap, and
when roughness or irritation of the skin arises the application of Dr.
Chase's Ointment will soon restore the natural smoothness and beauty of
the skin.
The almost magical effect this ointment has in the cure of eczema,
