Girt Reynolds Hr Stopped the < oughinf. Oue Sunday morning a clergymat was greatly annoyed by the unusuu. amount of coughiug among his congregation. He bad not a strong voice and could only be distinctly beard when the people were still and attentive. As th.coughing went on, and even grew worse, he suddenly stcpiied right in the middle of the sermon. All •yn v ere lesuntly turned to the p-lqlt. every lough was hushed and tlie.e aus perfect silence. "My friends,” seid the minister, with a smile, "it seems you stop when I stop.” This gentle rebuke had the desired etiect. Tlie people found thut their coughing could tie kept down when they liked to a great extent, and the minister proceeded with bis sermon under fur more favorable conditions. Ether md Matter. The densest matter is more or less porous.

A GODDESS OF DEATH ONE WOMAN WHO WAS TOO BEAUTIFUL FOR THIS WORLD. Sbe Had Florence In UourninK For tlir VletlaiK oB llrr Lo-.eilnrs* nnd Hr>rtlr»>i>rM~tier Fewer Over Men end Her Awlnl Fate. While personal benuty is naturally the most coveted possession of woman, it is a gift which may l»e almost us full es danger to herself ns to those who fa.l [ victims to It. Front the days of Helen I of Troy mid of Cleopatra to our own time it has brought perhaps more dis- [ aster to the world than delight, or. at ! least, bappiuess; hut to one. at least, it j brought a life of such tragedy and suf } feriug ns has rarely fallen to the lot of | toy woman. It was at Fiareuee that Rosmira ! Kotstalbci:perhaps tin: ui-tst IH-;.ut.fui woman the world has ever seen, lived i in the days of the Mediels, No man - bus ever ventured with pen or brush to ! portray her beauty, and It is only from its effects that one can judge of its surpassing brilliance. From early girlhood this benuty gave her a power and an ernp.re over hearts such as no queen of Europe cotihl wield. Men docked from ail parts of i Europe content to catch a glimpse of her during her rare walks abroad, if j she appeared la the streets of i lorcnce . It was a signal for hundreds of woe I shipers to dock around her for the : mere delight of gating on her or by some happy « bauce touching the hem i of her gown. When she went to church thousands I flocked to see her. and It was in vain ; that the priests tried to conduct the ; services. The door of her residence ( was beviegisl night and day with lev- [ era of every class, from princes of the ; greatest reigning fam,lies of Europe to i peasants aml ti-i.'-i-men. Every day . brought i:-: '’:; :. -f prose:.t,, . some of which might well have Imtight ! s king's rm.ni. v. P--,. mic-rs were the . tribute of lowly admirers, who offend I them as humbly and reverently as if i they were laying them on an altar. None would receive payment from I her. from tbe wealthy merchants who I laid at her f «>t their treasures of ri- b dresses gad u-w-’ls to the bumblesi tradesman or domestic who ministered to her. and. crowning trintnph of alt. women wore us eager us men to render homage to her beauty mid vle-1 ' with each other in their offerings ami their worship. It was inevitable that many xbould suffer for beauty such as this, and especially as K >sai..-a was as heartless as she was fair. Scarcely a day pass | ed when die was not the object of some fatal due! or when some lover I did not destroy himself In despair of i winning her It Is <i d that there was : scarcely a family of any position In Florence or for many leagues around It that had n-.t to mourn r. s..u or near relative, and many complaints were made to the authorities by indignant I parents. On several occasions she was brought | Aefore tbe judges, who were as [»wvr i less against her charms as the most love strick n y .uth in Florence. They rams to condemn and remained to I worshi[v her fatal beauty, for as she appeansl liefore them In ail the glory . of her beauty even the eyes of stern j judges were dizzied, and they were ready to go into the rt « k for her sake. ■ It was about this time that great dis- , tress fell on Florence. The . ity was In I the grip of famine, and bnudreds were [ dying for want of bread, but while I thousands were starving Ronaura I would giie up nothing > f her luxuries. [ It came to the ears <■< the poor that I while they were dying for a crust us | bread this spoiled child <f fortune wan I

For forty years Rosaura suffered this horrible punishment, her very Jailors shrinking from the grinning skull which always greeted them.
