WJiW TRAVEL
By CARL SCHUR2 VROOMAN.
• WPON entering Italy every trav-
I I eler is confronted by a ques-
I I tion, upon his answer to which
depends in large measure the
success or failure of his trip.
That question is: "What are you will-
ing to omit?”
Not in a lifetime can one see every-
thing, and if his stay is limited to a
few short months he must be discrimi-
nating during those months or disap-
pointed at the end of them. The most
rational plan, therefore, would seem
to be to devote approximately half the
allotted time to one city in order to
know at least one small region inti-
mately. With the Insight into Italian
life and the sympathy with the Itulian
spirit thus gained, the rest of the
country ought to prove an open book
which can be glanced through, even
hurriedly, with both delight and profit.
Of course when it comes to deeding
which city shall thus he studied at
leisure and made the key of the rest
of Italy, one can only say, as did
Schopenhauer when told that the Jews
were God's favorite race: "Tastes
differ."
Florence Inspiring.
Venice rising from the sea, clad in
mystery and beauty, Venice with her
unrivaled school of colorists, truly is
a name to conjure with. On the other
hand, from the standpoint of universal
history, present day politics and com-
parative art, Rome's advantages are
incomparable. But it is to Florence,
the home of Giotto and Dante, of
Petrarch and Boccaccio, of Savonaro-
la and Michael Angelo, that one should
go to find the most intimate and char-
acteristic expression of the soul of
Italy.
On arriving in Florence one is apt
at first to be not so much inspired as
dazzled and bewildered by the art
treasures on all sides. Every church,
hospital, orphanage, monastary or mu-
nicipal building is crowded with price-
less frescoes and adored with inimi-
table creations in marble and bronze.
On every crumbling wall or ceiling
where to early Italian or renaissance
artists had been given a few square
yards of available space, one is amazed
To his myriad disciples, however, on
all matters, from a knotty question In
history to a Judgment on art, he is
consulted as final authority. His as-
terisks are their guiding sturs. Where
he puts two stars there they pause
and admire; where he puts no stars
darkness reigns for them.
A more serious blunder, however,
than that of these conscientious "star-
gazers” is made by sightseers who, in
their efforts to take a short cut to cul-
ture and see galleries wholesale, deliv-
er themselves body and soul into the
hands of the misinformation dispens-
ers commonly known as guides—those
blind leaders of the blind.
The hordes of these disgusting crea-
tures who haunt the museums,
churches and galleries of Europe are
made up for the most part of the ref-
use of the more difficult or more
crowded professions. They are dis-
abled day laborers, hotel waiters out
of a job, retired cab drivers or other
unfortunates.
On the Wrong Side.
I once heard of a guide, provided
by a well-known tourist company at
Paris, who, after having conducted a
party two-thirds through one of the
rooms of the Louvre, explaining about
every fifth picture as he went, sud-
denly stopped, consulted some notes
and said:
“I beg pardon—you'll please retrace
your steps. I’ve—er—made a slight
mistake. I've explained the wrong
side of the room.”
The statement, “I don’t know any-
thing about art, but I know what I
like,” is one which seems to come au-
tomatically to the lips of the initiated
traveler on finding himself called upon
to discuss pictures with an artist or
art critic. These knowing creatures
dread this little prefatory remark as
much as a sea captain does that
equally absurd query of passengers:
“Captain, how many times have you
crossed?” A famous Scotch artist, on
hearing this artistic credo for about
the four hundredth time, said, “Dinna
say thot! Dinna say thot! The beasts
of the field ken as mooch!”
Nevertheless, whatever profession-
als may say to the contrary, the atti

to find a complete history of Israel. I tude involved in this hackneyed phrase
the life of St. Francis, or an entire ' is the only rational attitude for the be-
system of philosophy presented with a ] ginner. It is a form of mental honesty
dramatic power, an emotional inten- | without which any real esthetic devel-
sity and a beauty of coloring which opment is impossible. By knowing
make a direct appeal to the profound- | and enjoying and enjoying without
eet depths of one s being.
As a rule, however, during the first
few' days this appeal touches no re-
sponsive chord in the majority of
people. The ideas expressed and the
mental attitude Involved belong to a
bygone age. Before the average man
can come to have any real and proper
appreciation of Mark Twain’s "squint-
eyed Madonnas,” those primitive yet
quaintly charming creations of the By-
zantine and early Siennese echools, or
even of the poetic productions of the
renaissance, he must rebuild In hia
Imagination the mental world of those
romantic epochs.
This can be done most agreeably by
reading the annals of old Florence, the
shame what you really like, yet ever
striving to learn to like the best i«
the development of your esthetic na-
ture possible, and in no other way.
One fact of peculiar significance to
Americans stands out large and lumi-
nous in the lives and works of all the
great masters of Italy—the fact that
supreme greatness is incompatible
with hurry and fret. It took Orcagna
ten years to make the incomparable
marble canopy in the church of Or San
Michele, and it took Ghiberti twenty-
one years to make the gates of the
baptistry at Florence which Michael
Angelo declared fit to be the "gates
of paradise.”
These men demanded only a living
legends of her saints, the tales of her j ahd a chance to do their best wrork,
but that gave them immortality. The
highest work never has been and never
will be done by men who do their
work primarily for the money they get
out of it, rather than for the message
they can breathe into it. Men whose
time is too valuable to work and w’ork
and wait for an inspiration, must turn
out hack work, a loveless, unnatural
product of which, however perfect in
technique, is yet a monstrosity. None
but messengers from the heart have
ever touched and inspired the hearts
of men.
One other thing we can learn from
Europe, which, unfortunately, Europe
has not yet learned for herself, and
that is the uselessness and utter ab-
Mr. Bernard Beren-1 surdity of seeking lasting satisfaction
| or happiness in even the highest es
thetic delights, except as Infused intc
and made a part of one's serious du-
ties and labors as a human being.
Beauty is the expression of one'*
love for his work. What we love we
instinctively adorn. A decoration is
an embodied caress. But no art car
replace the ethical purpose; no skill
can sanctify a selfish or impure is
warriors and statesmen, the wild bo-
hemian lives of her artists, the marvel-
ous history of her workmen guilds, the
"divine” and human comedies of her
poets and the story of the life and
death of her reformer-prophet, Savon-
arola.
The most valuable guide-book as a
supplement to Baedeker is that of the
late Grant Allen. Mr. Allen had a
sound historical sense and a conta-
gious love of the beautiful. As a hand-
book, Kugler'8 "Italian Schools of
Painting.” having no competitors, is a
necessary evil. But travelers today
are particularly fortunate in possess-
ing the illuminating little series of
volumes on the ‘‘Italian Painters of the
Renaissance” by
son.
With these writers and numerous
lesser lights available for cicerones
it Is difficult to understand the willing-
ness of so many travelers to limit
themselves to the prosaic, not to say
archaic guidance of Baedeker. Un-
questionably the omnipresent If not
omniscient Baedeker makes a valuable
servant, but 1 can affirm from expe-

GET WIRELESS BY BEDSPRING
Eastern Amateur Experiments With a
Novel Form of Antennae and
Is Successful.
Cyrus H. Fladreaux of Peeksklll,
N. Y., gives the following interesting
account of his experiments with a
novel form of antennae for wireless
telegraphy:
"There are many things used as an-
tennae to catch the mysterious elec-
tric waves which carry our wireless
messages through space, and I find
that the springs of my bed serve as
very efficient antennae. My room is
on the second story of my house, and
by using these springs as antennae I
can easily read the signals sent out
every night by the wireless station at
Sayville, L. I., although they are not
by any means so loud as when I use
my outdoor antennae, which are 40
feet above ground, 60 feet long and
consists of four wires on spreaders,
the wires being two feet apart.
"The bedspring antennae are best
for use with nearby high power sta-
tions. Sayville, L. I., is ubout fifty
miles from Peeksklll. With my out-
door antennae I continually hear the
Arlington (Va.) naval station when it
sends out the corrected time signals at
11:55 a. in. and at 9:55 p. m.; also
the weather reports, Brooklyn navy
yard; New London, Conn.; Cape Cod
and others, including amateur stations
too numerous to mention.
"I have an all-’round good apparatus.
I hold a station license and an oper-
ator’s license, both issued by the
United States government. My offi-
cial call is 2 V U.”
One Hundred Years Ago.
The curious modes which women af-
fect now began as far back as 1798,
which is a period we should hardly
wish to copy in most respects. A
dance not at all unlike the tango was
in vogue at that time, and had many
exponents, who danced in loose bod-
ices opening in a V shape from the
shoulders almost to the waist. Skirts
wero slit and were often made of
transparent gauze.
We may return to the gowns of that
period, whicli were without waists,
having simply a girdle to the bust,
with skirts caught up rather short in
front and slightly trained at the back.
In 1800 women wore sandals and
bare feet Corset belts were only
about two Inches wide. Some gowns
were caught up to the knee with large
cameos. Soon fashion overreached it-
self and then came crinolines, pointed
footgear and unnaturally small waists.
Are we coming to this?

London Has Ambulances.
London, which has never yet had
an ambulance, has at last ordered
six of them, and expects them to do
all the work for the entire city. In
case of past accidents the policemen
have had to commandeer the nearest
wagon, depending on the generosity
of the driver, as they were not able to
offer him anything.

Marble Windows.
Remarkably beautiful effects are se-
cured by the use of marble instead of
glass. This has been accomplished
by a new process which has been de-
vised by an engineer of Hamburg, W.
Engle. He has succeeded in making
plates of marble no more than three
millimetres in thickness and for the
use designated it is available up to
20 millimetres thick. The suitability
of marble for this purpose was real-
ized some time ago, but the difficulty
encountered was that of securing the
marble in slabs of sufficient thinness.
These plates permit of the passage of
a greater amount of light than frosted
glass does, and at the same time im-
parts to the rays a much pleasanter
color. Most opal glass imparts to the
light an undesirable greenish tinge,
while the light which passes through
the marble has a reddisli violet which
is much pleasanter. After the marble
has been ground down to the desired
thickness it is subjected to an immer-
sion in oil under high pressure, and
the effects secured in this manner are
said to be superior to those of stained
glass.

Women’s Times of Danger
Women suffer a great deal from kidney
diseases. Their indoor life, tight clothing
and trying work all tend to weaken the
kidneys. Woman's life also includes times
of danger that are apt to leave the kidneys

ache.dizziness,nervousness and urinary ills.
Prompt treatment, however will avert
the danger of dropsy, gravel, or fatal

RASH SPREAD RAPIDLY
Granton, Wls.—“My sister had a
very bad, deep, wet, running sore on
the side of her face and it ran up to
her ear. It commenced with a small
blotch of pimples which turned into
a kind of rash and spread rapidly. It
itched and looked red and sore for
some time and slightly swelled. A
thin fluid dripped and ran from the
sores which looked like water. Then
the swelling would go down and It
would keep on spreading. It bothered
’ her during sleep and she would be
restless. It was a kind of eczema.
"She treated for some time and it
did not help her. It kept spreading
lafiger and deeper. Having always
used Cutlcura Scap we told her to try
It so she got some Cutlcura Soap and

Puzzled the Parson.
At a marriage service performed
some time ago in a little country
church in Georgia, when the minister
said In a solemn tone: "Wilt thou
have this man to be thy wedded hus-
band?” instead of the woman answer-
ing for herself, a gruff man’s voice
answered: "I will." The minister
looked up very much perplexed, and
paused. He repeated the sentence,
and a^ain the same gruff voice an-
swered, ”1 will.” Again the minister
looked up surprised, not knowing what
to make of it, when one of the grooms-
men at the end of the row said: "She’s
deef, parson, an' I’m answerin’ for
her.”

“poisoning, or
the state of being poisoned, from toxic, substances produced within the

pores of the body failing to throw off the poisons. More than 50 % of adults
are suffering from this trouble. This Is probably why you are suffering from
nervousness, headaches, loss of appetite, lack of ambition, and many other
symptoms produced by Auto-Intoxication. Your whole system needs stirring up.
