Two. physicii ans could not help her; so she took Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds, which eased 'her cough, gave her sleep, and finall} cured her."

The good old Romans, who had some hard common sense in spite of their \y|gj self conceit, believed thoroughly In New Year's day. They were characteristlcally careless as to when It should be celebrated, and sometimes It was held at various dates of the year by communities living at no greater distance from each other than a railroad train would take them In these days in a few hours. But so long as ; they got the full number of high days ana nouaays mio ujc uiuuuw uw good old Romans cared little whether they adhered strictly to the almanac or not Even when Christianity became an established Institution In the land and 4 the Christian leaders began to systematize the days for celebrations Id which the church participated there was still a difference of opinion aa to the day on which New Year's coold properly be celebrated. It Is even on record that New Tear's day has been kept on the date set apart for Christmas, while it got so mixed up with the other divisions of time at another period that it was kept on Easter day one year and on the 1st of March on another.

Ignorant as the Spanish woman Is on most subjects, she Is conspicuous for her profound and extensive knowledge of the different kinds of lace, and her talent for distinguishing point d'alencon from point d'argentan, and point de venlse from that old Italian point known by the name of Greek lace, Is only equaled by the grace with which she wears the national mantilla and maneuvers her fan.?Chicago Times-Herald.
