Proposed Ameudmcuta susffested b:ih&Btaio Fimb aud Game Conunia-•lon—Store Komlnatloiiii Sent tv tbiSenate—For Railroad Commission.

[Special Correupondence.]Trenton, Feb. 19.—Last Monday nlgbi

the legislature started on theweek of Its existence, or wliat will probably be tlie lust week of the first halfof the session, it being the general im-pression tlmt the present term will noiextend over twelve weeks. The wee;was productive of material results, ama vast amount of business was dispose*:of. As was expected, the legislatorsremained at their deal's until Wednes-day.

Not the least important matters ttaat present engage the attention of tb<lawmakers are the proposed amend-ments to the nsb and game laws wlilclihave been suggested by the stnte fisliand game commission uud which wilprobably receive favorable action aithe hands of tue legislature.

A bill has been introduced by Senator McKee o£ Fassaic Unit Is designedto be a general revision of the flsh amgame laws and contains several impor-tant changes. The revision materiallychanges the section of the game lawsrelating to the trapping of rabbits. Awall" was heard from the farmers ofHunterdon that their fruit trees weredespoiled by tlie rabbits, who cat thebark oB those trees, and at their de-mand the legislature a few'years agopassed a law permitting farmers totrap rabbits during the winter month!In the revision this right is extendedto all months of the year, the onlyqualification being that the rabbitsmust nave destroyed some of the products of the farm.

The revision shortens the open son•on for ducks, geese and similar birds,the open time being made from Oct1 to April 15. The section preventingthe killing of snipe during April willpractically do' away with snipe shoot-big, as the birds are scarce and in poorcondition during March, which is theonly spring month in which their killIng is permitted by the new bill. TwoImportant changes ale recommended inthe section relating to birds, one ofwhich Is to prevent mllllnersfrom sell-Ing the plumage of any wild birds,game birds being excepted, but therela so restriction against women wear-Ing such plumage. The bill protectsthe goshawk,.the most destructive ofall hawks, and several other specimensof hawks that have always been con-Bldered harmful. All protection Is re-moved from the osprey or fishuawk,which has always been protected inthis state and in nearly every otheritate, the bird being regarded as a val-

uable scavenger. The killing of dovea1» prohibited, and only the great horned•wl may be killed of the owl family.

An open season for the killing of shorebirds is fixed at from April 15 to NOT.SO, but this will have no effect, as theseirds are in the state only during the

months of the closed season. The kill-Ing of prairie chickens and wild tur-keys Is not taken seriously, as there

no prairie chickens or wild turkeysIn the state, except in the sectionwhich objects to having them In poisession. .

All Section* Hot SBtlaSed.A general open season for the killing

of partridge, quail, woodcock, rabbitsand squirrel is fixed at from Oct 25 toDec. 25. It Is expected that little or noopposition will arise from north Jer-sey, to this sectloD, except from a fewwoodcock gunners, who will probablyInsist that woodcock should be killedIn July. It is probable that the hunt-ers of south Jersey will enter a proteBtat the opening of the season as earlyis Oct. 25 and closing it as early as

Christmas day. The season in southlersey is about two weeks later thanit is in the northern end of the state,mt It Is doubtful-if a law satisfactory

to both sections can be drawn.The new law proposes a protection

'or pickerel, innsmuch as it providesthat it will be unlawful to retain pos-session of pickerel less than twelveinches in length. There is a section pro-hibiting the sale of any artificial bait

iVlng more than three hooks attached.The revision returns to the old customif making the open season for bass be-

gin on Memorial day, which seasonwas the rule several years ago andwhich makes the Opening of the bassseason in this gtkte earlier than It isIn other states.

Mean special Commission.The number of fish and game bills al-

ready introduced has prompted the sug-gestion that the legislature should pass

general bill authorizing the governoro appoint a special commission to In-estlgate the fish and game conditionsif New Jersey and report to the next•glslature such recommendations as

would be a satisfactory solution of thisexed question. It is believed that

such a commission could agree npon.nd report a game law which wouldge applicable to the entire state and atthe same time be generally satisfactoryo all of the conflicting interests, theibjective point of such a law to be toubserve the best Interests of the state

IFroia Our Begular GorreBPoadent.lT/asblngton, U. C, Feb. 16, )908.

President Roosevelt, by the firm atond hehas taken in support of adequate antl trustlrgialallon, has secured tbe completion byCongress of the anti-trust program outlinedin these letters last week. la order to ac-complish this end, Mr. Roosevelt baa talkedvery plainly to tbe leaden of his party. Hebas stated tbe unvarnished facts and in someinstances has seriously offended by whatthey term his " brutal fraobnesfl " the menwho will have the greatest weight in theRepublio«n national convention. The Presi-dent states his position very simply. Hesays, "1 have done my duty by the wholepeople as I have seen it and I am quite pre-pared to stand or fall by their verdict" In*̂ hls connection no one denioa that the Attor-ney General will find bis position materiallystrengthened in the further prosecution ofthe unlawful acts of the great corporationsKnown as trusts.

In view of tbe President's position on tbesubject of trusts it has become a well reoog-nlzed fact, In the inner circles ot the part?,that all that element which believes thereshould be no legislative interference with thebusiness Interests of tbe country will workassiduously against Mr. Roosevelt's nomina-tion in 1904. As to the truata themselves, it

a common expression that they have'' noaoul," and It la equally true that they haveno politics. With Mr. Roosevelt as the Re-publican, and a man wbom they would de-iorlbeas"safe"at the head of the Demo-•atlo ticket, their influence and their axten-

live campaign contribution would go intothe Democrats fund. The Democrats realisethis fact and such men as Arthur F. Gorman,Richard Olney and ethers, whose standingwith tbe capitalists of tbe country is unim-peachable, are being earnestly, open y dis-cussed as probable .Democratic candidate*.

.Iwaya trimmers, tbe Democrats' will haveo hesitation in trimming their sails CO catch

tbe trout wind in the next election. Thefriends of tbe President are, discussing theltnar.ion very Beriously and all believe that

the pooplo will have to cuoose'i either at thaKepnblican national convention^ at thepolls, between an bonest and fearless advocatepf the rights ot tbe people and a urcsot of

te corporate wealth of tbe country.It Is regarded as practically certain that

George B. Cortelycu, now Secretary to tbe'resident, will be chosen by Mr. Roosevelt aa •'

head of the new Department of Commerceand Libor. Some of the President's, sinosr-

it frienda regard the appointment as univisafrom a political stand-point. Tney say that

Ith the powerful Influences which are knownn be against him In his own party, Mr.Roosevelt ought to " play polities'1 and ap-ioint to this important position a man wlio•ould carry considerable political infloenoa

in one .of tbe doubtful states. Xo their ar-:ument Mr. Roosevelt replies that bis brand>f politics is that policy which be believes

will make for the greatest good of-toe people,~~o one questions Mr. C6rtelyou*e ability, andthe President knows that he will administerthis Important office iu the Interest of thepeople. He Is in perfect accord with tha'resident on tbe subjeot of trusts, with whichle new department will have much to do.Iven under tbe provisions of the Nelsonmendment providing for publicity of cor-orate statistics, the officer in charge willlave the widest latitude, and with an ad-

ministrative officer whess sympathies art1th the corporations the law might ba mada'holly useless. No one denies, tbe correct-

ness of this argument, although' some fear;hat when it comes to the point of votes lahe convention Mr. Roosevelt's fearlesslylohest policy will not win. #

Tha ratification ot the Alaskan treatyithout material opposition bears out the

prediction made in these letters, and made hiface of associated press predlotiona to the

xmtrary. Under tbe provisions of the treaty '.he President will appoint three commlsslon-

who will meet with an equal number ap->ointed by Great Britain and, U possible,

settle for all time the dispute In regard to tha.laskan boundary. OQ every mooted quee-[on a vote of four to two will determine the.imposition. In the event that auoh a ma-Diity cannot, be obtained and the commfsatonvides evenly no result will be attained and

be present status of tbe question will Dotia<e been a&Vcted. Rumor has it that the'resident will appoint on the cnmmlaBfan

on tary Root, Henator Lodge and .Senator'uruer, of Washington, but no cfnclal an-3ur,ceraent has been made. 'Tbo d'Bpuie In regard to the actual bonnd-

MR6. FRED SMITH.

A B n m Life Barer and m. Fearleeaana ftaecesafnl Miner.

On June 20, 1874, and June 18, 1878,congress provided for the award ofgold medals to brave women who risktheir lives by saving those,oi,othersfrom (he terrors of the sea. fapte weresilver medals also for instances7 wherelife had been used by extreme brav-ery, bntthe'Srst class was to be award-ed ouly whgn life had been saved withextreme peril to the EBa&Wr.: In nearly thirty years only two ofthese gold medals have been awardedby the government, the first to Miss(Ida Lewis, who, for more tuan twentyrears bus Mood ae almost tbe peerlewheroine of America as the keeper of theLime Rock light 4?en' or eleven yearslater the second was earned by Mrs.Fred Smith, (then, Mrs. Edward White),whose rescue of tbree shipwreckednation at Copalin, Wash., stands out asthe most desperately daring deed alongthe Pacific coast

Tbe heroic deed for which Mrs, Mar-tha White was brought Into promi-nence, not i«inly Jn . the west, butthroughout the entire country, was per-formed -Jan. 29, 1892. Through herown unaided efforts tbree of the crew

There is never a crisis of temperIf a meal is late or tbe convenience of amember demands a change in the hour.A few minutes—yea, even a number ofminutes—spent In kindly converse Inthe morning, the call of a frieud, or thisudden desire for an boar's outing,nevei seems to the bomemaker a vio-lation of the moral code. Dust does notcanse a nightmare or disorder a dis-play which love and charity agree tocall nervousness. Not things, but sonla,are tbe objects of the Aomemaker'gcare. Sbe values peace more than sys-tem, happiness more than regularity,content more than work accomplished.

I regularity. It is this that makes home-making an art

UaeXM* TfcfcMP !•> Homes.- A woman whose borne (a noted forIts beauty and restfulness said inspeaking the other day of tbe art ofhouse furnishing that It would prububly puzzle the inhabitants of anotheplanet to .know what modern homeswere Intended for.

"They have no beauty that we shoulddesire them," she observed, "and thelast thing that seems to have been con-sidered In their arrangement Is theconvenience of the occupants. To judgemerely from appearances, one wouldthink that they were designed to gerv<as showrooms for furniture and bric-a-brac and fancy work and that the in-mates were only there on sufferance,because they had to have some refugefrom the wind and weather and noother domicile could bf found. Mostwomen treat their homes as store-houses or museums, and tbe morethings they can crowd Into them thebetter they are pleased. They pref<to have the things where they can beseen If possible, but when no morespace Is left and not a corner Is avail-able for eves a photograph or a chinadog they will pack them away Inchests and closets and go on accumu-lating. Why not make the home a placeof comfort and restfulness?"

The. Tmiworthr Girl.A girl may not be at all musical or

well read or clever In any way, but shemay become popular simply by beingtrustworthy, by listening sympathetic-ally to people's confidences and keep-Inn them sacredly locked In tier ownkeeping. Most people, especially youngmen, like to have some sympathizingfriend they,can come to when they feeldiscouraged or elated to unburden theirtrials or their plans. All the girl has todo Is to listen, perhaps to say somewords of help or encouragement, butabove all she must never repeat whathas been told, says > the AmericanQueen. A girl may be plain in featureand ungifted with talent, but if shebecomes known as perfectly trustwor-thy and discreet she will generally bepreferred to her more entertaining,pretty, but less reliable sister.

JP0itvro0f ^ofPinlcJham Cures

The -wonderful power of Iiydla E. Plnkham's Vegetable Compound over the diseases of -woman-kind is not because it is a stimulant,—not because it & a palliative, but simply because it is the mostwonderful tonio and recocstructor ever discovered to act directly upon the whole uterine system, positivelyCUBING disease and restoring health and vigor.

Marvelous cures are reported from all parts of the country by women who have been cured, trainednurses who have witnessed cures, and physicians who have recognized the virtue in Lydla E.Pinldiam'a Vegetable Compound and are fail enough to give credit where it is due.

One of Many Women Cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,Without Submitting to an Operation, Writes: —

"DEAR MBS. PINKIIAM :—I was a great sufferer for three years, had some of the leading physicians,and they all said nothing but an operation would cure me, but to that I would not submit,

"I picked jip a paper and saw your advertisement and made up my mind to try jrour medicine. Ihad falling and inflammation of the womb and a flow of whites all the time, pains across small of back,severe headache, did not know what it was to be without a pain or an ache until I used your medicine.After three months' toe of it, I felt like a new woman. I still sound tho praise of Lydia E. Pinkham'sVegetable Compound."—MHS. WM. A. COWAN, 1804 Bainbridge St, Philadelphia, Pa.

A Graduate Nurse, Convinced by Cures, Endorses Lydia E. Pinkham's IVegetable Compound. She Writes:— •*

"DEAB Mns. PmKnTiM:—Ministering to the sick I have had numerous chances to compare IiydiaE. Pinklmm's "Vegetable Compound with other mediolnes in cases of diseases of women, and thenumber of cures recorded where your medicme was used convinced me that it is the safest and surestmedicme for a sick woman. Doctors certainly must know the value of Lydia 13. Plnkbam's VegetableCompound. I am convinced that you deserve the splendid record you have made.—Yours Very truismMBS. CATHERINE JACKSON, 769 Beaubien St., Detroit, Mich." (Graduate Nurse and President DetroitEmergency Association.) /

Many Physicians Admit that no Medicine Known to the Profession EqualsLydia E. Plnkham's Compound for the Cure of Woman's Ills, *

and We are Permitted to Publish the Following : —" DfiAB Mns. PtNKnAji:—It gives me great pleasure, to state that I have found Lydia E. Ptakham'B

Vegetable Compound very efficacious, and have often prescribed it for female difficulties.' . "My oldest-daughter found it very beneficial for uterine trouble some two years ago, and myyoungest

daughter is using it for female -weakness, and as a tonic, and is slowly hut surely gaining strength and health." I freely advocate it as a moat reliable specific-in all disorders which women are subject to, and give it

honest endorsement—Tours very truly, SABAH C. BnianAii, M.D., 4 Brigham Park, Eltchburg, Mass."

If physicians dared to be frank and open, hundreds of them would acknowledge that they constantlyprescribe Lydia E. Plnkham's Vegetable Compound in severe coses of female ills, as they know byexperience that it can be relied upon to effect a cure.

• Women who are troubled with painful or irregular menstruation, backache, bloating (or flatulence^leueorrhcei, falling, inflammation or ulceration of the uterus, ovarian troubles, that" bearinfj-down " feeling,dizziness, faintness, indigestion, nervous prostration or tbe blues, should take immediate action to ward offthe serioua consequences, and bo restored to perfect health and strength by taking Lydia E. Pinkham'sVegetable Compound, and then write to Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass., for further free advice. No livingperson has had such a vast and successful experience in treating female ills. She has guided thousands tohealth. Every suffering woman should aak fol and follow her advioa.

us that houses of public worship are recug-ois«l as needful f jr the carrying on of relig-ious services and assembling ourselves to-gether, It la therefore meet and right thatwe are gathered here to-day to dedioate thisbuilding for religious uses. With hearts fullof gratitude to Almighty God, who baa sosignally bleseed His servants with boly enter-prise and isal in oonstruction, we do now setapart this church building for the reading of

le Holy Soriptures, the preaching of theWord of God, the administration of tbe HolySacraments and fell other exerolaes <jf relig-ious worship and service aocoriliog to tuellseiptiqe and usagdS of the Preabyteriauiburoh.

We realfce that the dedication would be invain without the solemn consecration of Itsmembers. I call upon you all to dedicaterourselvee anew to work and service, that wemay be partners with Htm. Let our spiritsbe dedicated to Him tbat He mar illumineus with Divine anowiedge that we may uu-derstand tbe revelation of His words; oursouls that they may be renewed after theimage of Chrlat; our bodies that they maybe temples for the Indwelling of the HolyQhoat. May onr labor and business ba dedi-jted, that their fruit may tend to the glory

1 His great name and the advancement oflls kingdom. -May be accept this gift thats free from all eartbly encumbranoea aa a»ken of loyalty and faithfulness."-.

Almighty God, our Heavenly Father,who dwelleBt in tbe heavens, but whom theheaven of heavens cannot contain: who yetdoet~condeeoend to dwell In the' midst of tbeunemblies of Thv people upon the earth, webelieve tbat Thou are well plrased when Thychildren build for Tbee .a temple whereinthey may worship Thee, in the spirit and inthe truth. We offer Thee with gratefulhearts onr oblation for Tby marvelous kind-,ness in enabling UB to build this home forTby worship. We now dedicate it for thereading of tbe word of God, the administra-tion of the ordinances of the Gospel and forall other exercleee of religions worabip in ac-

d wltb the Holy Scriptures. In ourselves- realise that we are not worthy to offer

Thee a gift, yet in Jesus Christ we comeboldly into Thy preBence and ask Thee tosanctify to Tby use this beautiful churchbuilding and those wbo are connected In itsservices and-work. We beseech-Thee to

Daniel Rpyiiulda, »r., riled at Minn Hill onTuesday, (Vbruary 10. He was him InCounty Leitrlm, Ireland, on January Zi, 1827,and came to thta country in 1853.

About 20 years agobe retired from active life and eight yearsago be moved to New York city, where Illssous were living—Patrick Henry being oneof the officials of tbe Metropolitan MuBeumot Art, and Daniel, jr., and Bernard Jamesbi l f tb i i t i Sit, a , j . , Bena m sbeing employees nf tbe same institution. Sixmouths ago Mr Reynolds returned to bis aidhome at Mine Hill, his son Bernard Hiving

hi iion In tbe Metropolitan Musup his position In the Metropolitan Museumand coming back also. Boon after bis returnto Mine Hill Mr. Reynolds began to decline,not because of any positive lllneiH butratberby reason of tbe weaknsss incidental to hiaadvanced age and tbe strenoua life be hadled. He la survived by three sons and alaughter. They are Patrick Henry, Daniel,lernard and Rose Ann. Two of hia nephews,•obn and Dennis, are prlesta in Ireland, and. cousin, Bister Aquianas, la In a convent in

Ohio.He was burled from St. Mary's Church on

THE BURTON GHOST,It Scared tUe Intrepid J3xp»arer and

Killed Ilia Dog.Where was there a braver man, I

wonder, tuan Sir Richard Burton?Once, thougi', bis face paled and hisbreath came in gusts. A ghost Old it, ofcourse, and this wag the manner of it:Burton was told of a house In London,quite a poor sort of bouse, by tue way,which WUB suid to be baunted. "1 donot believe It." replied Burton. Then bewas told tbu*. it was a specially terri-ble kind of ghost, and be said he didn'tbelieve that either. He would go andtee. To (be empty bouse (the three lasttenants bad been found dead in bed,and uuch things get talked about) wentBurton witb a friend and a dog. "Comeup with me," said be to nls friend, nudat bis own request the companionlocked Burton in the room nnd tooU thekey down with him. "I Sim 11 be allright licrc; I've got my dog, too," thogreat traveler whispered confidently."However, If I ring, get rendy to comeup, and should I ring twice—well, comequickly."

Tbe friend waited as he was bid. Mln*tltes passed like hours. Ills eyes wereglued on the bell hanging motionless. Along wait. Full of foreboding, lie wasoo tbe point 0t breaking tbe conditionsand going up to prospect, when the belldid ring. And before be bad tackledthe first flight of stairs it pealed outagain and— Up those etalrs he rushed,two and three steps at a time, you maybe Bure. To open tbe door was thowork of nn instant, and then into hiearms reeled Burton, almost dead withterror. "Tbe place ]B accursed," begasped. "What have you seen ?" beggedtbe friend. Burton's head shook. "No,no," he cried. "My poor dog'» dead.I'm almost palsied with fright. Morethnn that, no, no, I cannot tell you!"Now, tbls Is quite true, and the housewas Immediately afterward pulleddown. What did Burton see? No oneknowB. He Is dead now, poor fellow,nnd no one ever will. The three tenantscould tell us, but terror and death cametogether to tbem.—London Tatlit*.

W. D. Qulnn, Marseilles, 111.

One thing is .certain,—Ayer's Hair Vigor makesthe hair grow. This isbecause it is a hair food.It feeds the hair and thehair grows, that's all thereis to it. It stops fallingof the hair, too, and al-ways restores color togray hair.

IHatrni or left Uaoded Barken."I bave struck all kinds of barbers In

my trips about the country," said tbeman who travels, "but the one kindthat always makes me feel as if I wanbalanced on the very brink of eternityis the left handed barber. 'I nave beenBhaved by several of their class. Theybave been good barbers, too, every oneof them, bijt no matter how well theyknew tnelr business they always gaveme a bad turn, and every time theydrew the razor across my face I felt esIf lite and I were about ready to partcompany. Of course it is foolish, butnowadays when I find myself assignedto a left-hapded barber I leave the Shopon some pretext or other and go elae-frfiere to be beautified. Other menjrhom I have Bounded on tbe subjectbave confessed to tbe same weakness,and women have told me that theybave a like unexplalnable dread of leftbanded hairdressers. In the dreasmaklug business, too, I am told, a left hand-ed cutter and litter is pretty sure togive the customer a crop of goose lean,while even a harmless occupation likemanicuring can always be relied on toproduce real ahlven If pursued by aperson whose cleverness lies to her leftband."

What Tlldea l e n tWhen Mr. Tilden in 1874 was nomi-

nated for governor of tttw Tork, Mr.porshejmer received the nomination forlieutenant governor. Tbe ticket thusheaded was elected by abont 50,000 ma-jority. A little knot of German! InNew Tork city who usually voted theRepublican ticket took Mr. Dorshebuerfrom bis name to be a German, andthey scratched their ticket In bis favor,BO that he had a majority of nearly 83,-000. One day after Mr. Tilden and Mr.Dorshelmer bad been Inaugurated theymet at a political breakfast at tbe for-mer's house in Gramercy park. Mr.Tilden had always felt a little sore atHi. Dorshelmer'B extra majority, andso when In the current'of conversation,Mr. Dorsheiiner jestingly said, "Well,governor, yon innst remember I had8,000 more majority than you," a» quickas a flash Mr. Tilden retorted, "Tea,you supplied the 8,000, and I lent youthe fifty." '

A FtM Piece of Worn.I tell you," exclaimed the young

medical student, "our professor is aneminent surgeon."

"How's that!" asked Ma chnm."Well, a fellow wast brought In wltb

a crushed leg. The professor said Itmust come off. But by some means orother he cut off tne wrong leg." '

'Do you call that a fine piece ot sur-gery!"

"Walt a bit The professor said Itwould be terrible for tbe poor fellowto go about with no legs, at all, to liesplintered up the crashed leg Insteadof cutting that off, too, and now It la asgood as ever. An ordinary surgeonwould nave left tbe fellow legless.Wonderful skill, the. professortl"

The WllUame u i JokM.It would be difficult, If not impossi-

ble, to estimate the relative frequencyof names prior to the Norman conquest,which created something like a revo-lution. "William," of course, got agood start, as Is enown In "DoomsdayBook," where stand 68 Williams, 48Roberts, 88 Walters and 10 Johns. In1173 Blr William 8 t John and Sir Wil-liam Flts-Hamon entertained a dinnerparty at tbe court of Henry II. TbeInvitations were limited to knights ofthe name of William, and the companynumbered 120.

Bat tbe <tay of "John" was not longto tarry, and in 1847 the common coun-cil oil London contained 85 Johns, 17Williams, u Thomases, 10 Richards, 8Roberts, and In 1886 ont of 876 namesenrolled in the Guild of Bt George atNorwich there were 128 Johns, 4T Wil-liams, 41 Thomases. From that day 1othis John and William have held theirground as the commonest baptismalnames in England.

Water Sbrevra.A pretty little anhaa), writes a corre-

spondent, occasionally to be noticed attbe edge of a stream or pond la the wa-ter shrew. The ways of these creaturesare most fascinating. I have seen themquietly emerge from the grass, rundown the tide of tbe bank into andalong the bottom of tbe stream. Whileunder the water Lhfelr movenv & arevery rapid. They scrape awa; on tbebottom with their feet, thrusting tnelrlong snouts Into the mud and understones and leaves in search of Insectson which they feed. They then retirea little way np tbe bank for a momentor two to take breath and hurry backto their work once me- I have neverseen water shrew* dive. Tbey simplyrun In and out of the stream, as if airand water were both alike to them, andtbey were equally at home in either el-ement When under the water, tbeylook as If they were covered with mi-nute silver pearls owing to the particlesof air adhering to their furry bodice.Land and water shrews are not of tbemouse tribe. They have the sharpestand most delicately beautiful teeth im-aginable and live entirely on Insectfood.—London Opinion.

The, Me* «< It. Mark.The symbol of the Venetian republic

—the famous lion of Bt Mark—Is madeot bronse. There is a tradition amongtbe Venetian people that Its eyes arediamonds. Tbey are really white, ag-ates, faceted. Ita> mane is most elabo-rately wrought, and Its retracted, gap-Ing mouth and Us fierce' mustaches giveIt an oriental aspect.

The creature a s It now stanas belongsto many different epochs, varying fromsome date previous to our era down tothis century. It is eonjectureil that itmay have originally formed a part ofthe decoration of some Assyrian palace.St Mark's lion It certainly was notoriginally, for It was made to standlevel npon the ground* and had to beraised np In front to allow the evangelto be slipped under Its fore paws.
