“AGRA'S GREAT TOMB.

Vor Twenly-Two Years tha Marble Ta- Mahal Was Building

The central point of attraction to the stranger at Agra must always be the wonderful building known as the Tsj Mahal, at once the tomb and the ronument of the Empress of Shah IiSan. It is said that on the spot were the tomb now stands there was once a sort of summer palace the great Mogul and his family spent part at least of the year, as it was the favorite residence of his wife, to whom he was devotedly attached. Here, the story goes, she asked him to build her the most beautiful palace ever yet constructed as a memorial of his affiec- tion for her and of their hapy’ness together.

Before anything was done to carry eut this design, however, the beloved Empress died, leaving the Emperor in- consolable for his loss. What he could not do fer the living wife he determin- ed still to do for her memory, and the result was the erection of the famous tomb, which remains still the most beautiful example of its class in the world. The building stands on the op- posite banls of the Jumna from the palace and city of Agra, and its domes of white marble rising from among the 4uxurinnt vegetation of the sur- rounding garden form the most daz- zling object that can well be conceived

where

is seen from almost any part of the city, but especially from the palace itself.

No estimate has ever been formed of the wealth lavished on the building, but that it must have normous no on who examines the almost incred- ible beauty and elaborateness of the worokmans!ip, and the rare and, in almost priceless character f the material used in its construction ean possibly doubt. The actual execu- tion of the work emplayed a host of the most skilled laborers obtainable in the eastern world for 22 years, and whehn it is ermembered that the build- ing is smal lcompared with most of those on which Emperors have lavish- ed their treasure, some idea of the intricacy of its design and the beauty of its execution may be formed.

The gateway by which we entered the enclosure itself prepared us some- what for the splendor of the buildoing within. Like every part of the builda- ing and its surroundings, this gateway is constructed of the purest white mar- ble, polished to the highest perfecticn of which the stone is capable, while the carving and designs embossed on the remarkable for the ele- gance and grace of their conception, as well as for the perfection of their exe- cution, It Is no easy matter to accus- tom the mind to the idea that this woork, hardly less perfect to-day than it was 250 years ago, can have been exposed to the weather all those years.

Something, no doubt, is due to tte climate, and more, perhaps, to th ex- quisite polish of the surface, which has fitted it to resist the weather to the best advantage. It is, however, on the interior of the mausoleum that eastern art, with all its wealth of patient in-

been

some cases,

surface are

dustry, has lavished the best of all it had to offer. The whole interior blazes to-day exactly as it did when first

erected, with the perfect reprodusiuon in polished stone of every leaf and flower with which nature has adorned the Indian peninsula. And not one shade of all the exquisite color is pro- duced by any pigment.

If a single flower demanded a score of tints to reproduce its perfect beauty, the effect was obtained by the use of 1 seore of different stons without re- vard to their rarity or value. Nor is the effect injured by marks of joining. Hardly anything short of a microscope would in most’ instances disclose the fact that art and not nature had pro- duced the dazzling effect. But it is hopeless to attempt to give any ade- quate idea of this consummate work ot art, which stands, and no doubt wil) stand, unrivalaed as the highest ex- emple of unwearied art supported by unbounded resources.—Harper’s Week- ly.

<html iain Eating Before Sleeping.

The old tradition that to eat any- thing just Lefore going to bed was sure to produce indigestion and render sleep impossible is now happily exploded it is not good, as a matter of fact, to go to bed with the stomach so loaded that the undigested food will render but something of a light, palatable nature in the stomach is one of the best aids to quietude and rest in bed. The process of digestion goes on in sleep with as much regularity as when one is taking violent exercise to aid it, and so something in the stomach is a very desirable condition for the night’s rest. Some physicians have de- ciared, indeed, that a good deal of theh prevalent insomnia is the result of the unconscious craving of the sto- mach for food in persons who have been unduly frightened by the opinion that they must not eat before going to bed, or who have, like many nervous women, been keeping themselves in a siate of semi-starvation. Nothing is more agreeable on retiring for the night than to take a bowl of hot broth, like oatmeal gruel or clam soup. It is a positve aid to nervous people, and in- duces peaceful slumbers. This is es- pecially the case on cold winter nihets when the stomach craves for warmth as much as any other part of the body. Even a glass of hot milk is grateful to the palate on such occa- sions, but a light well-cooked gruel! is better, and in our climate, during the cold months of winter, should be the retiring food of every woman who feels as many do the need of food at nigh: —New York Tribune

UNDERTAKING

Having bought out the whole under- taking outfit of the late Isaac W. Wad- man, I am now prepared to supply every thing necessary for the business at the shorteat notice, at Mr, Wadman’s old

LANGTRY'S LOVER.

The Premicr Earl of Eagland Now Mer Devoted Admirer.

Sir Robert Peel’s projected marriage with Mrs. Langtry, which constituted her main object in instituting divorce proceedings in this country against her busband, hag been broken of. The bit- ter feeling between them may be judg- e! from the fact that after Sir Robert bad managed to get his wealthy Ger- nen brother-in-law, Baron Von _ det Hic ydt, to advance $5,000 to enable him te compound with his creditors at 59 cents on the doilar—these being the oniy terms on which he could obtain kis discharge from bankruptcy—Mrs. Langtry steysped in with a claim of some $25,000. This almost upset the ar- rangement, but finally Sir Robert's brother-in-law reluctantly consented to give another $15,000, enabling Mrs. Langtry’s claim to be included among the rest.

The Dean of Jersey's daughter has a new titled swain in tow, the Premier Earl of the realm, Lord Shrewsbury. He has become her racing partner, and the two are inseparable. They went to l'aris the other day by special train, after winning close upon $100,000 at Newmarket

Mrs. Langtry has played a more im- portant part in the social history of the latter half of the Victoria reign than any other footlight favorite. In- ntmerable are the matrimonial en- gagements she has by her beauty broken off, that of young Sir Robert Peel to Miss Lane-Fox, who has since bicome the Countess of Powls, among the number. She, too, contributed more than any one else to the financial and. domestic difficulties of the young Esrl Rosslyn, who began by being her racipg partner and ended by being ecmpelled to turn over his entire stable t> her, as weli as to sell by auction a pumber of family treasures.

The young Countess of Rosslyn is particularly charming and populir, and so much sympathy was felt for ner that probably none of the infatuation Mrs.. Langtry had inspired in the mem- bers of the English aristocracy did her more harm than this one. To-day Lord Resslyn is about to go on the stage, to adopt a professional career, not so much for the love of the drama as be- cause his extravagance has made it i: dispensable that he should work for a living, and he believes the theatrical profession the only one in which he can earn money.—New York World.

Joi riuey to a Star.

There is a perpetual fascination about the stars-and the immense dis- tance at which they lie from one an- other and from us. To demonstrate the vast distance of Cenauri from this planet a popular scientist gives the following illustration:

“We shall suppose that some wealthy directors, for want of outlet for their energy and capital, construct a rail- way to Centauri. We shall neglect, for the present the engineering diffi- culties— a mere detail—and suppose them overcome, and the railway open for traffic. We shall go further, and suppose that the directors have found the construction of such a rail- way to have been p-culiarly easy, and that the proprietors of the interstellar space had not been exorbitant in their terms for right of way.

“Therefore, with a view to encour- age traffic, the directors had made the fare exceedingly moderate, viz., first- class at 1 penny 100 miles. Desiring to take advantage of these facilities, a gentleman, by way of providing him- self with smal] change for the journey, buys up the nation dept of Britain and a few other countries, and, pre- senting himself ut the office, demands a first-class single to Centauri.

“For this he tenders in payment the

script of the British national debt, which just covers the cost of his ticket, but at this time the national

debt from little wars has been run up to £1,100,000,000.

“Having taken his seat, it occurs to him to ask :

“*At what rate do you travel?’

“ ‘Sixty miles an hour, sir, including stoppages,’ is the answer.

““Then, when shall we reach Cen- tauri?’

“In 48,663,000 years, sir!’ ’’—Answer.

Rare Treasures Excavated,

Among the treasures found in the excavations at Bosco Reale, on the siope of Mt. Vesuvius, and presented by Baron Edmond de Rothschild to the Louvre Museum, were two most cu- rious drinking cups decorated with the figures of skeletons. The cups are round, with a smali handle and three small feet. Under a wreath of roses encircling the rim are the figures of skeletons with enormous skulls resting in various attitudes. Besides each fic- ure is pricked its name; that of a fa- mous Greek philosopher or poet. On the first cup we read Euripides, Men- andros and Archilogos; on the second, Zeus, Eyicurus, Sophocles and Mos- chion. Other small skeletons move among the big ones, playing the lyre and clapping their hands. Greek le- gends show the epicurean character of the whole. Epicurus, followed by a sucking pig, says: “The aim of my life is pleasure.” Another skeleton, look- ing at a skull he holds. says: “What thing is man?” And a third: “Life is a comedy.”—New York Sun.

Organizing a Literary Club.

In choosing a subject to be discussed by your literary club, writes Louise Stockton in November Ladies’ Home Journal, be sure it is akir, to your in- terest. If history is chosen take an epoch, a great movement, rather than long chronological details: if Shakes- peare, two or three plays should be the extreme limit for one winter; if literature, a few writers or one school, unless your object is to trace a devel- cpment. In that even be sure to note well your land-marks and t+ thorough- ly neglect the non-essentials. Do not have too large or too diverse an or- ganization. Never have more fagots than the string will bind. Do not be stingy in ‘providing what is needed. Do not put all the work and all the care on the president. Her Office is certain to be arduous; do not make it necessary for her to carry the clock fur you. Above all, state your opin- ion before the meeting adiourns and not after, and when you talk it over between yourselves, criticise and dis- cuss the subject and not the workers. This rule will promote harmony and prevent the personal criticism which does so much harm. Upon each mem- ber rests the responsibility of succes: or failure.

A SUFFERING ARMY.

Borne Down by a Eclenticss Foe. The great army of sufferers from vari- ous rheumatic conditions joyfully wel- come Chase’s K. & L. Pills becauss the foster parents of their aches and pains are the Kidneys, which, on account of a diseased condition, are unable to relieve the blood cf uric acid poison, which is deposited in the joints, producing on the first provocation irritating aches and pains in the bones, joints and muscles. The reason that Chase's Pills relieve and cure is their wonderful power in restor- ing degenerate Kidneys to a perfect and natural condition, without which the sys- tem is supplied with blood teeming with poison that adds fuel to the fire of rheu- matic complaints, demoralizing the en- tire system and rendering it liable to a complication of diseases terminating in dropsy, diabetes, or Bright’s disease. A pleasant feature of these Pills is that, while most Kidney remedies encourage constipation, Chase's relieve and cure it. In nearly all rheumatic attacks there exists constipation of the bowels, which is easily over-come by Chase’s Kidneve Liver Pills; in fact, they are a perfect cure for constipation. ‘This is endorsed by Edward Garrett, editor and proprietor of the Bradford, Ont., Weekly Witness, and thousands of others. One pill a dose. 25 centsabox. The cheapest medicine onearth. Sold by all dealers, Edman- son, Bates & Co.. Toronto.
