Here is Paul's itinerary, He was a travel

and insulted, and the more good he did the
worse the world treated him. But he went

reasons why he wanted to see Rome. A man

what thnil interest he walked thess

ourselves enter Rome can imagine. If the |

something of the record of my text and its |

the anticipation of that blessad country, if
it be no better than through holy curiosity?
As this Paul of my text did not suppress his
curiosity, we hey not suppress ours, Yes,
1 have an unlimited curiosity about all relig-
fous things, and as this city of Rome was so
intimately connected with apostolic times,
the incidents which emphasize and explain
and augment the Christian religion, you will
not take it as an evidence of a prying spirit,
but as the outbursting of a Christian carios-

Our desire to visit this city is also intensi-
fiod by the fact that we want to be confirmed
in the feeling that human life is brief, but
its work lasts for centuries. inded for ever.
Therefore show us the antiquities of old
‘Rome, about which we have been reading
for a lifetime, but never seen. In our be-
loved America, we have no antiquities. A
church eighty years old overawes us with its
age. We have in America some cathedrals

they are in Yellowstone park, or Californian

THE RISE OF THE SHADDOCK.
An Excellent fruit from China That
is Becoming Generally Liked.
The Shaddock, or “grape fruit,” as it
is sometimes called, is a tropical fruit
that people in this country are just
coming to know and learning to like.
Everybody has seen the big, light yel-
low globes on the fruit stands in the
streets, and about everybody has tasted
them. The verdict is usually disapprov
al. Most people, when they bite into
their initial shaddoek, have their mouths
made up for the taste of an orange. The
sciduious, piquant flavor of the shad-
dock is 1n the pature of a disagreeable
surprise, and the fruit is at once set
down as not enticing.
Shaddocks must be eatenrightly, and
really to like them is in most instances
an acquired taste. Very few of the
people who eat shaddocks habitually,
and shaddock eating isa habit with
some people, but had to learn to like
them. Another cause for the slow
growth in popular favor of theshaddock
1s that it is imp ssible to tell by the ap-
pearance of a shaddock whether it is
ripe or not. An unripe shaddock is as
disagreeable to the taste as a ripe one is
pleasant, and it often happens that an
experimenter’s first eh wk is a green
one, and because it is so sour as to make
his jaws seem loosened, he condemns ull

color of the shaddock is a pale yellow,
almost green in its paleness, and this
color deepens but little after the shad-

THE USE OF SOAP.
Great Care Should be Taken to
Guard Against Impure
Materials.
The use of soap is as general as the
use of bread. It is used by all classes
and conditions of modern civilization;
it is a necessity in every household,
alike in toilet and kitchen, and if there
is one thing that more than others
should be used intelligently in everyday
lite it is soap. According to the Phila
delphia 7imes, however, there is noone
article of general use that is used as ig-
norantly, and as injuriously because of
ignorance, as this universal household
necessity.
It is safe to say that two-thirds of all
the soaps used by the people are posi-
tively injurious, aud some of them are
sources of disease. The cheaper fancy
soap used by the masses are, as a rule,
manufactured from impure and more or
less injurious material, and their im-
often cause diseases which are

| Takmg faces in the mass, they are
i marked by very distinct characteristics.
| One of these 1% the married, and the
| other the unmarried face. Of course
| these *two classes do not include all
| faces. There are many countfenances
| which cannot be said to belong to
| either. Among those which do arrange
themselves under one or the other of
these heads there is also a vast differ-
| ence. Some of them possess the char
| soteristic more and some of them less.
| In some instances the married look is
| strongly pronounced; 1% is as definite
and decided as midday. From the
more marked kind the married expres-
| sions lessen, and finally fade away or
| disappear in something else, as sunset
| merges into twilight and twilight into
| moonlight or darkness.
There 1¢ no mistaking the married
jook, or the unmarried, for the type is
invariable, Each is prominent, mark-
ed, individualized, and in many
of its expressions is the exact
opposite of the other. The prevail
ing quality visible in the married
face is indifference. This trait is never
absent, but its strongest development
is when the husband and wife mt, stand
or ride together. If one will sup a
line passing through the head
at right angles to the axis of the ears,
and prolonged fore and aft for a short
aistance and then place the heads side
by side, it will cecur that, as a rule,
the ends of the line converge in the
rear of the heads and separate in front
of the face. ol
This exy ent is based, of course,
on the of 0 wil by the side of
her hus and not t of some
other woman. In the case, the
probabilities are that the scute angle
would be formed in the front of the
oon:
meeting of the lines at the back
of the heads of the husband and wife
may rly be termed the matrimon-
inl angle. 11 grows more obtuse as the
