"""‘“'.“" . _ in: Moods It Has Seen.‘ It seems strange that not until the middle of last century did it occur to any of the successors of Peter to rescue from the, desecration of indifference a spot saturated, one ,may say 'without hyperbole, with the blood of the mar- tyrs. Everybody knows that earthquake, fire and inundation competed with such other for its destruction. Guis- lard's troopers stalled themselves there, and the Fran ipani transformed it into i a fortress. hen less turbulent times supervened, it became by tacit consent the common quarry of the‘more power- ful Roman houses. When for a time friendly enough with each other, they held tilt and tourney within it, and then mystery plays restored for a time its theatrical character. Sixtus V had a scheme for turning it into a woolen manufactory, and another prince of peace thought it would serve capitally as a powder magazine. Meanwhile it remained a convenient market place for the sale of vegetables. But in 1750 an earnest Ligurian monk, Leonardo da Porto Maurizio, came to Rome, craved audience of Benedict XIV, and obtain- ing papal sanction for the' new form of devotion known as the Via Crucis, in- duced the sovereign pontiff to consecrate the Coliseum tocelebrate mass there and to erect a large wooden cross in the very center of the pagan arena. Ever since the stations of the cross, commemorating the journey to Calvary, have encircled the vast ellipse, and the newcomers whose rising voices disturbed my reverie are wandering hither behind a tall, barefooted, bareheaded Francis- wn friar, to make the dolorous pilgrim- age. All the fine ladies of Rome are there. and, heedless of delicate flounce and furbelow, they kneel on the un- ! swept ground at every halt made by the ' rosary girdled monk and bow their heads in audible lamentation. Then, when the long, sad service is completed, he rebukes them for their transgressions and invites them to a holier life. That much I can make out from where I sit, in sympathetic contemplation of the scene, though no small part of his ex- hortation reaches me, but in fitful vowel sounds, musical, but somewhatvague in meaning. Before they have come to a close a blare of trumpets tells me that a body of French zouaves is coming along the Via San Gregorio, between the Pala- tine and Cselian hills, on their way back to barracks from the exercising ground that lies beyond the tomb of Cains Cestus and Shelley’s burial place. The insolence of alien drum, Vexing'the bright blue air, To smite a people's anguish dumb Or speeds. rash despair, That once had wrung That prophet tongue To challenge force and cheer the slave, Rolls unrebuked around his grave.

The special importance of l this decision consists' 1n the protection which it assures to the millions of 00n- camera of Royal baking powder against inferior and uuwholesome compounds. The excellence of this article has caused it to be highly esteemed and largely used almost the world oyer. Its high standard of quality having been always lmaintained, consumers have come to rely implicity upon the "Royal” brand as the most wholesome and eficient of any in the market. The cupidity of other manufacturers is excited by this high reputation and large demand. Very few of the hundreds of baking powders on the market are safe to use. If their makers could sell them under the name of a well known, reputable brand incalculable damage would be done to the public health by the decep- tion. The determination of the Royal Baking Powder Company to protect the users of the Royal baking powder against imitators by a rigid prosecu- tion of them makes such imitations pf its brand extremely rare —Chicago Times-Herald. ~ Restitution by an Earthquake. “It’s an ill wind that blows nobody good” is a well known axiom 'which was verified once in a somewhat peculiar manner in the Philippine islands. About 14 years ago the first classiron vessel Rhoodie, of 1,600 tons register, was scuttled in Manilla bay, having caught fire when on the point of sailing with a full and. valuable cargo of hemp, pearl, shell, gum copal, bar copper and other merchandise. . During the earthquake many manths later she was thrown up bya tidal wave from where she lay in 12 fathoms of water to close inshore in two or three ’fathoms and was then purchased by an . enterprising diving and salvage company just started in Singapore for the trifling sum of £14, when it transpired that her cargo had not suffered from her long submersion and was valued at about £60, 000. —Pearson ’s Weekly.
