The vendetta or blood feud is one of the cruelest of barbarous practices, because it takes no account of age or sex, but ruthlessly dogs the steps of the victim to the death. There is no appeal against the doom. The beautiful maiden, the aged sire, the innocent child have no plea to turn aside that bloodthirsty dagger. Imagine the case of one marked for By day a footstep dogs this fate. him. Whenever he moves a shadow clings to his shadow, and that clinging shadow is the shadow of death. There are forms of disease which seem to have proclaimed a vendetta, or blood feud, against the human race. It is peculiarly so in the case of consumption, which, often, as in he vendetta, follows out the blood feud with an entire family, them one by one, until all are e terminated. One-sixth of all deaths are due to consumption, and the saddest thing about this disease is that its victims by choice are the budding woman, the.voung man just girding himself for the race of life, the society bud and the college graduate. The law of our land forbids and prevents the barbarism of the ven- detta. Why should not law step in letween the victims of this other blood feud and the fatal stab at the lungs? The law does step in: the law of nature, the highest of all law. By every canon of that law, by every responsive human instinct, it is repugnant to reason that this blood feud should be carried to its extreme result without hope and without help. The best and wisest of stu- dents have felt this and have given ume and study in the effort to dis cover something which might arrest the steps of the destroyer. It has been left for Dr. R. V. Pierce, for more than thirty years chief consult- ing physician to the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute of Buffalo, N. Y., to offer to humanity in his famed “Golden Medical Discovery” the remedy so many have sought in vain. The remarkable cures wrought by this remedy are matters of record and of reference. “These things were not done in a corner.” Take the fol- lowing case as an example: “Twenty-five years ago, when I was thirteen years old, I had what the doctor called consumption,” writes Mrs. Ella Taylor Dodge, matron of the Home for Mission- aries’ Children, Morgan Park, Il, Box 165. “He told my mother that nothing could be done for me ex- cepting to make me as comfortable as possible. The pastor of the M. E. Church in the place where I lived heard of my condition, and al- though he was not acquainted with our family, he called, and during the call he asked my mother if she would allow me to take a medicine if he would send it to me. She thought that it could do no harm if it did no good, so he sent a bottle of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. Before the bottle was empty my friends saw a little improvement in my health, whereupon another bottle was bought. I can’t say now just how much I took, but I improved steadily and today am a well, strong woman, as you may imagine I must be to have the care of this home. I now have a child under my care and when she takes cold it settles in the larynx. I at first used medicines which her mother suggested before leaving her, but nothing did the least good till T gave vour ‘Golden Medi- cal Discovery” I have unbounded faith in it.” We will not quarrel with doctors over a definition of disease. They said this was a case of consumption, and it was a hopeless case. It was a case to be made “comfortable” as the condemned prisoner is made comfortable when the death hour is fixed and the death watch set. And it was a case cured by Dr. Pierce’s! want to figure on the losing side of | 3y night an eye is on him.] nourish them. Golden Medical Discovery. There have been thousands of such cases, and ninety-eight out of every hun- dred have been cured. The success of this remedy is due to its co-opera- tion with nature along natural lines. The common treatment of weak lungs is based upon the theory that they need strengthening, and that strength comes by nourishment. And so an attempt is made to feed the Jungs with cod liver oil or emulsions, which differ only in degrees of nasti- ness. But it is notorious that, except as a palliative, the oil has little value. The theory of nourishment and strength by nourishment is all right, but it needs a broader application. Suppose your cheeks begin to lose their plumpness, and you seek to Do you think that saturating them with cod liver oil, beef extract or any other nourish- ment would put on flesh? The very thought is absurd. They must be nourished, but so must the whole body be nourished, every part of the body being fed as well as the cheeks, it they are to be filled out. Thi equally true of the lungs. It is usi less to attempt to treat the lungs apart from the whole bod Weak lungs mean general weakness, and that general weakness must be over- come all along the line if the lungs are to be strengthened, That is part of the secret of the cures performed by “Golden Medical Discovery.” It brings strength all along the line. It checks emaciation, controls the rooted obstinate cough begins at once to relieve the body of the strain and pressure of disease and puts the lungs on a fighting footing against their enemy. W. A. Sanders, esq., of Hern, Ma- son Co., W. Va., writes: “My wife had hemorrhage of the lungs. She had ten hemorrhages, and the people all around here said she would never be well again. But she began to take Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discoy- ery and she soon began to gain strength and flesh. After taking ten bottles she was entirely well. Should you think this will do you any good to publish, just use it, and if any one disputes the merits of this almost omnipotent medicine they may in- close self-addressed envelope with stamp, and I will answer, the same as written in this letter.” To every person suffering with weak lungs, deep seated, obstinate cough, bronchial affections, bleed- ing of the lungs, and such conditions as will, if neglected or unskillfully treated, end in consumption, these testimonials open wide the door of hope. There is no alcohol, whisky or other stimulant contained in ‘‘Gol- den Medical Discovery,” neither does opium or any narcotic enter i to its composition. It preserves its pleasant flavor and healing power in all climates, without any of these dangerous ingredients and also with- out sugar or svrup which sometimes proves injurious to weak stomachs. You are invited, if you are sick, to consult Dr. Pierce by’ letter, without charge. In this consultation, abso- lutely without any fee or ulterior con- ditions, Dr. Pierce places at your service a skill and knowledge gained in a lifetime of experience in the treatment of cases probably just like yours. If your case differs from the ordinary, the deeper the interest it will excite in the mind of the phy- sician who has observed the extreme variations of disease, and enjoys the overcoming of the difficulties found in exceptional cases. Remember that hope and help are offered you and your letter to Dr. Pierce, will be, in the light of the ex- perience of others, your first step to health. if you want to try Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discov: ery do not let the dealer persuade you to try a sub- stitute medicine claimed to be “just as good.” “Just as good” is on the face of it a falsity, because there would be no object in going con- trary to your wish and request, to sell vou something only “just as good” and no better than the “Dis- covery.” There can be no object in selling you something else, unless it pays the dealer better, You do not | is the profit and loss account either in money or health. Therefore refuse all substitutes for “Golden Medical Discovery.” *4 Modern philanthropy has offered no greater gift to the world than Dr. Pierce's Common Sense Medical Ad- viser. It is the most comprehensive medical compefidium ever issued. It has saved ‘hundreds of dollars in doc- tor’s bills, by its timely information. It is full of hints and suggestions for the wife and mother as well as for the husband. It isa book to put into the hands of every young man and young woman contemplating mar- riage. John Jay Williams of Jack- son, Madison Co., Tenn., says: “If T had had your book eight months ago I am satisfied it would have saved me from a long spell of sick- ness, in which I came pretty near dying. Your book ought to be in possession of every family in the United States.” This book of 1,008 pages, and containing over 700 il- lustrations, is sent free on receipt of stamps to pay cost of mailing only.

Ornamental Stones. Prof. G. P. Merrill of the National Mu- seum followed with his paper, “Remarks on Some Little-known American Orna- mental Stones.” A jable in front of the secretary's desk was covered with speci irens of different stones, which fllustrated the points he made. His paper was in part as follows: “It is now, I thinis, very generally con- ceded that the ‘great development of art umong certain ancient peoples was due to the ready availability of such materials, as lent themselves most readily to art. and architecturul expression. The Kind of art which developed -nost favorably in any re- gicn was controlled by the character of allable meiterial. It is impossible, for in- anc, to conceive of the Wonderful de- velopment of sculpture characteristic of the carly Greeks and Romans as having de- veloped among a people situated in a region I'ke that of the Mississippi valley in our own country. Dhis is especially true among those forms of art which find their best ex- pression in stone, since the great weight of the materlal rendered its transportation in the early days a matter of prac: possibility, excepting in regions fa! to transshipment by water. Since the in- vention of the steam car, this last-named difficulty has been largely overcome, and it is y too much to say that today the earth is ransacked throughout almos: uts entire length and breadth for material, rot merely for the smaller works of art, but as well for the larger and grand forms of architecture. “In ages past, difficulties in the way transportation and hardress of were in part overc by the cheapness of skied labor. The high prices now put upon skilled labor and enforced by labor unions have in our own country very large- ly counteracted the cheapening of methods of transportation through the introduction of steam power. Indeed, owing to the cheapness of ocean freightS and the cheap- ness of foreign labor as compared with that in the United States, the Italian materials will today compete on equal terms in our eastern markets with those of the United States; and were it not that modern inge- nulty has called into play a score of me- chanical devices whereby the labor of one man is multiplied many fold it would be impossible for any but the very wealthiest of our people to indulge their taste in any but the most commonplace of art objects ade from domestic materials so obdurate as stone. of material The Use of Stone. “Among no nations of the world is stone today so universally used for general struc- tural purposes as in America. No one ean but be surprised in comparing the struc- tures — private residences and business blocks, municipal and government build- ings—of this country with those of foreign nations, There is a richness and appear- ance of sclidity and a varlety among the buildings of our American ‘cities which stands in strong and pleasing contrast with the weather-marked and otherwise shabby stucco structures of the eastern continent. Gifted wi.h a variety of matertals, such as has fallen to the lot of no other nation on earth, with a multiplicity of railroads and waterways, we are enabled to transport materials throughout the entire length and bread’h of our continent at rates which would have seemed incredible even half a century ago. “The rapid development of art and archi- tectural instinct which has taken place dur- ing the last qugrter,of a century in this country has béen ratified very largely through an importation of materials from the old world. BPor'many years this condi- tion of affairs thust? continue to exist; in fact, so far as itgrelates to certain forms of art, must alwas aie ist. We have, how- ever, within the limits of the United States (and you will remember I am speaking now wholly with reference to stone) many vari- eties of materials which are fully equal, if not superior, ta, those which are brought from abroad, an& which are in many cases so entirely diffefent as to merit attention for this reason alone. Many of these ma- terials have beep kngwn for years, but the great cost of working, together with the limited demand, hag yprevented their being seriously considgred,” Specimens Not in Demand. The speaker then proceeded to call atten- tion to many of the specimens before him, saying at the outset that scarcely one of the stones is to be found at present upon the market, this for the reason that there has as yet been no demand such as would make their working profitable. That there is no such demend, he declared, is due to the fact that the pubiic does not realize their possibilities. Among the stones of greatest historical interest was a specimen of oriental alabas- ter, used by the ancient Egyptians, a car- bonate of lime found in the Nile valley. Materials of this nature are abundant throughout the limestone caverns of the United States. Of the same nature as this stone, except that it is the product of hot spring action, and, further, that it is im- | pregnated with a-considerable percentage of metallic oxides, which give it more in- tense colors, are the so-called onyx marbles of the western states and Mexico. The speaker called attention to the translucency of onyx and suggested the possibility of its use in place of highly-colored glass in win- dows. Specimens of oxydized marble, porphyry, oid lava flows from sachusetts,-a porphyritic erm Greece, indurated voloanic mud, two samples of marble from Burnet and Aus- tin, Texas: granitic rock from Madison county, Virginia, and pegmatite, a graphic granite, rose quartz from Maine and Con- necticut. and other rocks .were. described and their usefulness and beauty in archi- tecture pointed out. Pecullarities of Wood. A papér entitled “Some Peculiarities of Weed,” by Prof. B. E. Ferrow, dean of the New York State College of Forestry, for- mer chief of the division of forestry in the Department of Agriculture, was read, in the absence og the author, by Mr. Horn- blower. It wes, in part, as follows:: “The most noteworthy peculiarity of wood is that this material, which has heen so universally employed since the dawn of civilization, is still little understood, so im- perfectly known as to its nature, character- istics and properties. While the specifica- ticns for iron and steel materials have been developed to such finesse that even the chemicai ccn.position is prescribed as deter- minative of the quality desired, it is que: ticnable whether the majority of engineers and architects know what points to make in the specifications for wood materials, and are not prepared to inspect the mate- rial which they have specifie “The reasons for this absence of knowl- edge and finesse in the use of wood are probably two: Wood has been apparently plentiful and cheap, hence not calling for a more economical and effective use; and, furthermore, being a non-homogeneous and variable material, or rather structure, the precise study of its properties and charac- teristics has been too difficult and cumber- some. Yet it is possible to study w scientific manner practical results. ee? Rensons Advanced. “There are thcse who are inglincd to think that there is no need of greate: finesse in this direction, either because we have such ar. abundance of wood mat-rials that their wasteful use will work no harm and need not be considered, or else that wcod is destined to grow out of use and bound to be supplonted by other m iterials, ‘The first position has been true enough for the past; but we are entering on an era when, through the wasteful exploitation of cur forest rescurces, without attention to their reprodvction, the abundance of weod materials is bound 1s s00d ooner or cease, and the decre: in_ supplie force upon us the necessity of greater omy. The second position, namely, Wood will be displaced by substitutes, also true only in part. Since we are using m three to ten times as much wood now ily the cessity of economy will force us to re- duce our wood consumption and to subst tute stone and iron, which in many cas will prove an advantage. “But he who thinks that wood at time will be entirely or practically planted by other materials as to the true merits and that material, haracteristics of which is as much an indis- pensable requirement of our civilization as our focd materials elusi on, Mr. Fernow suggested that y appoint a committee to study tions for wood m terials, so as to at least reduce as far as pcssible the dangers from rot and fire. Pilgrimage to Cabin John. The reading of these papers consumed the morning hours, and at 12:30 the convention adjourned to permit the delegates to visit Cabin John and Glen Echo. Accompanied by their wives, the fellows of the institute, directed by the local committee, with Mr. Hornblower and Mr. Glenn Brown tn active charge, boarded th ric cars and were hurried to their destination by the route along the river, At Cabin John Bridge Hotel they dined, and after a tour around the place and a Jook at the famous bridge the party went to Glen Echo and scrutinized the. are’ tectural features there. About 4:30 the were due to return to town. At the session tonight the following pro- > socie and report on specitic: gram of papers and business will be car- ried out: ‘The Place to Be Assigned to the Jewish People in Architectural History illustrated by lantern slide: : ler of the Smithsonian In on: eral Practice in Regard to the Employment of Electric, Heating and Sanitary Engi- neers,” H.

Octagon House. The old Octagon House, leased by American Institute of Architects, place of its own in history. It is on the corner of New York avenue and isth street, where It has stood since 1708 and has for its neighbor now the beautiful new Corcoran Art Gallery. It was the property of Col. John Tay! the has a one of the twelve children of John Tay! who was a member of the Hous Burgesses and founded the noted Mount Airy, Virginia. The Taylo married with the Corbins, the Le Washingtons, the Carters, the Pages and nearly every other prominent family of Virginia. The mother of Colonel John Tay- loe was a daughter of Governor Plater of Maryland, and his wife was Anne, daugh- ter of Benjamin Ogle, also a governor of Maryland. For those days Colonel John Taylor, who was commissioned by Washington in the revolution, was a very wealthy man, hav- ing at the age of twenty an income of nearly sixty thousend dellars a year, and when the Octagon was built it had in- creased to $75,000 a year. His eldest son, John, was in the navy and wi distin- guished in the sea fights of the “Constitu- tion” with the “‘Guerriere’’ and of the “Cy- ane” in the Levant. Colonel Tayloe was an intimate friend of General Washington, and it was on the jJatter’s advice that the Octagon was built in this city. Colonel Tayloe had previously determined to build it in Philadelphia. Gen. Washington's Interest. The Octagon was cemmenced in 1798 and was completed in 1800. During the process of erection Gen, Washington took a lively interest in the work and often visited the place. After the war of 1812, the British having burned the White House, President James Madison occupied the Octagon for some time, andeduring his residence there the treaty of Ghent between the United States and Great Britain was signed by him in February, 1815, in the circular room over the vestibule. At this period Col. Tayloe was distin- guished for the unrivaled splendor of his household and equipages, and his establish- ment was renowned throughout th> coun- try for its entertainments. Among his in- timates and frequent guests were Jeffer- son, Madison, Monroe, J. Q. Adams, Deca- tur, Porter, Webster, Clay, Calhoun, Ran- dolph, Lafayett2, Steuben and Sir Edward Thernton, father of the Thornton who later became British minister to the United States. Col. Tayloe died in 1828, and his death ended the splendid hospitalities of the Octagcn, which had cover2d a period of nearly thirty years. The house ts well built of brick, trim- med with Aquia creek sandstone. The lot is triangular in form and fenced in by a high brick wall. The kitchen, stable and outhouses are built of brick for the acco:n- modation of s2rvants and horses. Col. Tay- loe was a noted horseman and kept many fine running horses. The building and walls conform accurately to the street lines, show- ing that the streets were laid off even at that early day. Interior Finish. The interior is elaborately finished, the doors and shutters being of mahogany, and all still in an excellent state of preservation. “Your credit 18 good." $1 88.

In the south room on the first floor Miss Johnston has placed her photo- graphs of Dr. Wm. B. Thornton's competi!- tive plans for the President’s house, under date of 1793. Her work has been very clev- erly done, and the elaborate plan for a structure much larger and more magnifi- cent exteriorly than the present edifice ic clearly before the eye. There are three in all, showing modified forms. In the room above Miss Johnston has tacked on the walls about 150 cards bear- ing photcgraphs of all the plans for the Capitol building submitted by the archi- tects in competition. These include Dr. Thornton's prize de- signs for the same building, and the origi- nals were found by Mr. Spofford in the Congressional Library. The other originals are the property of the Maryland Histori- cal Society. Miss Johnston also shows re- productions of likenesses of Architects Blagdon, Bullfinch, Latrobe, Walker, Metz and Franklin, and a very clear photo- graphic copy of a picture of Thornton. —.—__.
