The Quirinal is one of the seven hills upon which Home stands; it was dedicated by the ancient Romans to Romulus, or Quirinus. The Quirinal palace was built in the Sixteenth century by tlie Roman Catholic church, but after the breach between the church and state in 1S70 it became the residence of the Italian kings. The Quirinal, as it is figuratively used, means tlie court of united Italy and the monarchical regime.

Tliis is where St. Thomas meets St. Genevieve.”—Harper's Magazine.

WANT FADES RUSS BEAUTY Hands of Once Handsome Women Horny and Their Cheeks Are Mottled. Odessa,—Beautiful hands are a thing of the past in Russia. The hands of once handsome women are hard and horny, almost as those of field laborers. They have neither hot water nor soap in which to wash them, nor salves and cold creams to prevent chapping. Constant household labor in their single rooms, making fires for cooking, carrying water, chopping wood and many other primitive duties have tats tened the effect of cold and dirt. Malnutrition is another cause. Lack of milk and fats has wrought havoc with tender skins. Many women’s cheeks are mottled like the skin of a fish.
