ftRaasTwsasi IN THE RUINS OF POMPEII. :4' Mr 15 f i of Evidences of the Commonneu S.avery Found on All 8.do. Evidence of lliei commonness of slavery ill the time of I'mupoi i'u de struction ure ubiindiiut on nil tides in the ruin-.. The ejiidrntors were a class of slaves trained for fighting, and some of the wall scribbling!) re fer to their condition us one of slav ery. Ik-re is the translation of an advertisement lmiiiti-J on a wall near the amphitheater: "Twenty pairs of gladiators, paid hy Decinius Lucretius Sttltlua Va leus, prince in the time of Nero, the son of Decinius, will fight at Pompeii on the llth, 13th and 11th of April. "There will lie a proper hunting scene, and the awnings will bo spread. Written by I'lev-Kmilius t'lev, WTitor of inscriptions. Wrote this by moonlight." The gladiators' barracks were am ple for the hou.-ing of V.OOO or 3,000 men, and it is a matter of record that at least S.noO were engaged at one time in the life or death com bats which stretched over a long festival. The actor in these mur derous sports were "barbarians'' from various parts of Kurnpe or from Asia .Minor and Africa. In the Naples museum is a bronze collar which was worn about the nock of a man whose skeletou was found in a l'ompeiian house cellar. On the collar are engraved in Latin these words: "I am a slave. Arrest me, because I am running away." 1 could not help thinking while looking at this ingenious and cruel substitute for a convict's dress that it was possible that the poor wretch who wore it may have teen ono of the descendants of the blond haired Britons brought home by Julius Caesar to grace his triumph 100 vears belore 1 onipeu disappeared beneath its pall of lava and ashes. In the liheezeh museum, Cairo, one may look upon the black and shriveled face of that Itnmeses whom we know as the l'hantoh of the Oppression, ilumniies of other Egyptian kings, priests and peoplo are common enough. These primeval men, vho far antedated l'onipeii and Rome, stand undecayed in our presence. Hut l'ompoii presents tho picture of an entire city resurrected from the dead, with ull its appli ances of life am! means of pleasure, profit, comfort, luxury, vice and sus tenance. The life is gone out for ever, but the mummified city re mains a monument of human in genuity and frailty. Kxehange. A Puzzled Husband.

"If for any reason he fails to pay her the amount ordered, he will be sent to jail for contempt of court." "Suppose she drives him out of the house with a llaliron and lie's ufranl to go back?" "Shu cull sue him for desertion." "Well, 1 don't see anything for me to do but go and hang nn-clf." "It's ngain-t the law to commit suicide, and if you are caught at tempting it you'll be imprisoned.

Wonderful Strength of the Beetle. A noted entomologist who has been writing on the wonderful feats of strength us exhibited in the beetle family tell- the following: "1 se lected a common blackwutcr beetle weighing 4." grams and found tlu' he was able lo carry a load of shoe in a small bag, the whole weighing 8 14 ounces, or exactly , times the weight of the bug. If a man weigh ing 150 pounds could carry as much accordingly he could shoulder a forty-five ton locomotise and then chain a train of ears together and take the whole lot a. ru.-s the coun try at a live mile an hour gait." The Uses of Fire Escapes. One of the settlement workers ankeil an east side lad what fire es capes were intended for. "To sleep on," promptly replied the lad. "Anything else?" "Sure. Dey's good to ripeu to matoes on, to drv clothes, to drop cats olf, to shoot beans down at do guvs passin on de street, to swear at de cop from and" But the settlement worker had fled with uplifted hands.

If you cannot, it is due to an irritated or congested state of the brain, which will soon ilc velope into nervous prostration. Nature demands sleep, and it is as important as food ; it is a part of her building and sustaining process. This period of unconsciousness relaxes the mental and physical strain, and allows nature to restore ex hausted vitality. Dr. Miles' Nervine brings refreshing sleep, because it soothes the irritation and re moves the congestion. It is also a nerve builder; it nourishes and strengthens ev ery nerve in your body, and creates energy in all the organs. Nothing will give strength and vitality as surely and quickly as Dr. Miles' Nervine. 'Turin tho past wlntf-r I liml Iwi tittiukH of l.a')rlppe wlili-h N-ft mo very weiik, and In 1 id eonriitum.
