Medicine Never Healed a Wound
Nature performs the healing process and medicine can only as
sist her in doing her work in healing wounds and throwing off
diseases. Nine-tenths of the diseases of man and beast have their f
origin in some form of germs and if allowed to run and multiply
form complications. The reason that Liquid Koal prevents all
germs dieases and cures them , unless fermentation and inflamma
tion have too far developed , is that ib "contains every antiseptic
and germicida known to science. All germ diseases such as hog
cholera , swine plague , corn stalk diseasestubercolosis. blackleg and
numerous others can bs prevented by giving Liquid Koal in drink
ing water , because they are germ diseases and no germ can live
where Liquid Koal reaches it. Liquid Koal is unaffected by the
gastric juices of the stomach , pass.es . through the Intestines and
from there into the circulation , permeating the whole system and
still retains all its germiclal properties. Diluted with water , in
the proportion of one to one hundred , it makes the best lice killer
known. l-

MOST FAMOUS HEADS OF CHRIST.
MUNKACSY'S " CHRIST BEFORE PILATE. " TITIAN'S " THE TRIBUTE MONEY. "
HOFFMANN'S " CHRIST AT THE DOOR. "
GUIDO RENl'S "ECCE HOMO. " RAPHAEL'S " CARRYING OF THE CROSS. , ,
the many beautiful conceptions of the
divine face of Christ that artists have endeavored
AMONG
deavored to portray on canvas are five that
are so surprisingly beautiful and -wonderfully la
harmony with the ideal of the God-man that sug
gests itself to most people that they have been uni
versally declared to be masterpieces of sacred art. These
Bve famous " .Heads of Christ" are here reproduced.
The picture of the Savior of mankind , shown with the
face in profile , straight hair falling down to the shoulders ,
and a look of intense earnestness in His eyes , is taken
from the world-famous painting of "Christ Before Pilate , "
by Munkacsy. This painting has been exhibited all over
the world , and copies of it hang on the walls of count
less homes. It represents Christ at one of the most trying
periods of His troubled life , when brought into the pres
ence of Pontius Pilate for declaring himself to be the Son
Df God.
The picture differs from almost all other famous pic
tures of Christ in that it depicts Him with features that
are stern and set and with little trace of the compassion
ate sweetness that so many artists have given to the face
> f Christ. With the rabble howling nround Him , Christ
faces Pilate , and were It not for the position of the two ,
Pilate on his throne , Christ standing before him , It would
seem that the relations were reversed , and that Pilate was
: he accused , Christ the accuser.
The masterly hand of the artist has thrown Into the
upturned face of Christ a latent suggestiveness of super-
mtui'al power that lifts it up from those surrounding it ,
ind marks clearly the distinction between the divine and
he human in the throng.
For a picture of the beautiful , the divine , the compas-
; ionate , for all that Christians love to look for in the face
> f Christ , the masterpiece of the modern artist , Hoffmann ,
s the one to turn to. The head of Christ Is taken from
loffmann's "Christ at the Door , * ' the familiar picture rep-
esenting Christ with a shepherd's crook in hand , knocking
it the portals of a home. The tender sweetness of the
'ace , which is turned full toward the spectator , Is won-
lerfully shown. It Is a face In which gentleness Is em-
> hasized by the settled melancholy of a"man of sorrows
ind acquainted with grief. " It is pleading , pathetic , but
CENTURY OF EASTER HATS.
'he Whims of Dame Fashion in a
Hundred Years.
The periods of a century are punctu-
ted by its hats , and woman's headgear
or the past 100 years illustrates -with
triking effect the varying whims of time ,
ays the New York Mail and Express ,
{ chinning with the first year of the last
entury , Dame Fashion was modest jnd
icxpensive , for then , as now , the modes
aine from France , and simplicity was
revailing in Paris at that time , in strik-
isrT-ontrast to the extravagances of the
ristocratic ladies who lost not only their
at.sbut their heads in the Revolution ,
'en years later the fashionable hat re-
inbled an elbow of stovepipe more close-
than anything else , and women of the
resent day have at least one thing to be
liaukful for that such styles no longer
revail. The bonnets of 1S25 and 1830
( . -re pleasantly picturesque , the one with
: s high crown , the other with deep poke
rim , so becoming to a pretty face and
T riiij : such a charming background for
" .iii't > bobbing around the ears. Flow-
-uid ribbons used these
: > galore were on
1 time hats , which ten years later were
. i.ficd into a simplicity almost Quaker-
! ; < > . a ? an 1S40 illustration will evidence.
Ilendiinj : the turning point of the cen-
w. the hats suddenly became flat and
.i ivloss no crown , no brim , simply a
. . of silk shaped to the head in hood
* Von and really making a most fascj-
i" bit of headgear , an unobtrusive
. it- for the pretty face below.
' \"th the next type all are familiar ,
\ ' 'ii.se ' mother has not worn a hat in
' t.vlos of the sixties ? How old fash-
. ' it looks now , yet with a certain
-r rharin of its own , far preferable
1 fashionable but hideous shapes of
. . .ru twenty years ! Varied and outre
t-i ? styles of this period , the last
. .irs offering a welco e relief. The
not weak. The artist has ennobled the features of Chris- ,
so that the womanly attributes of gentleness and sympa
thy are made majestic by the strong , manly attributes
that save the face from any suggestion of effeminacy. The
attitude Is dignified and expectant , the face calmly , seri
ously , solemnly Impressive.
Raphael has given us the beautiful head of Christ shown
with the crown of thorns on the brow. It Is taken from
the picture entitled "Carrying of the Cross. " It Is one ol
the most pathetic of the entire gallery , and the face Is on
of the most Interesting studies of all pictures of Christ.
In the original Raphael depicts Christ bending beneati
the weight of the heavy wooden cross. The suffering eyes
look patiently out from the shadow of the plaited crown
of thorns , whose sharp pdlnts pierce the forehead. Th
genius of the artist was never more strikingly shown than
In the expression of this face of Christ. Even with th <
suffering and pain depicted on the countenance there Is
plainly seen the sympathy of the divine nature that prompt
ed the utterance , "Forgive them , Father , for they know
not what they do. "
There Is no resentment , no trace of Indignation. The
artist has made the face one of heavenly beauty and
tenderness , even In the dreadful hour of the cross.
Among the best known of the biblical paintings Is Guide
Reni's "Ecce Homo. " showing Christ In the agonies of His
last hours , with the crown of thorns on His head , and
dying eyes turned heavenward. It Is one of the most
pathetic of all the "Heads of Christ , " and Is a great favor
Ite with church people. It is doubtful whether any artlsi
has given us a more beautiful conception of Christ thai
has Guido Reni in his "Ecce Homo. "
A picture that Is unique among the conceptions of Christ
is that of Titian , called "The Tribute Money. " Christ Ji
here shown with a calmly judicial face , with a tinge ol
the sadness that all artists Impart to the Savior's features ,
it is the face of one who reasons convincingly , but without
a shade of triumph over the successful turning of the tablei
on one who has laid a trap. It Is a strong face , godlike IB
the wisdom that It reveals , and conveying with great skill
the expression of solemn , pitying rebuke that befits th <
subject Chicago Record-Herald.
hats of to-day are the prettiest of the
century in point of materials and mak
ing. There is more art in the designing
of millinery to-day than at any time dup
ing the past hundred years , more taste
and skill in the manipulation of materials
and more elegance and expense in their
make-up.
Easter Gifts.
Each year finds the custom of ex
changing gifts at Easter more wide
spread. Unlike Christmas presents , in
which wide latitude is allowed , the East
er gift should be both dainty and season
able. The scent sachets , so popular for
Christmas cards , have reappeared in
charming guise for Easter. They are
decorated with all the flowers that bloom
in the spring and tied with ribbons to
match. There are , too , uniqise little
sachets of satin in the shape of a lily or
pansy. A novelty which will find favor
is a basket of colored tissue paper re
sembling a big chrysanthemum. Its long
leaves are meant to conceal Easter eggs
or bonbons. Tiny potted ferns set in
cups of crimped and painted paper are
just the thing for an Easter greeting.
Some of the cups represent Easter lilies.
Decorated china violet holders are another -
other pretty suggestion. Seasonable gifts
which may be used for Easter will be ,
found among the art linen , traveling i
cases , steamer pillows , fancy silk bags
and the new washable cases for turnover
collars. New and beautiful designs in
decorated china are adaptable both for
Easter and wedding presents.
Decorating the Church. _
The superintendent of a flower com
mittee ought to possess some knowledge
of architecture as well as an artistic
sense of form .and color in order to use
floral decorations "with good effect. In
the adornment of a church it is necessary
to consider its general architectural
style and its prevailing tone of color.
For twining' around pillars natural
trails of ivy or any climbing plants are
preferable to made-up garlands of uni
form breadth. Large vases or jugs fill
ed with flowers and foliage are used
wherever good taste may suggest.
The introduction of colored drapery
adds greatly to the general picturesque-
ness. These hangings may be of soft
silken material or of velvet brocade or >
plush. In some village churches in
England it is customary to lay warm
hued draperies over the window sills and
place upon these brown earthenware
pitchers filled with and half hidden in
green boughs and flowers.
j Palms and growing plants are invaluable -
ble , as they are certain not to fade
and droop before the decoration season
j ends , and for corners of churches noth- [
i ing could be more suitable than the oleander -
ander , with its glossy leaves and coral
I tinted blossoms.
I Rich colored flowers lose much of their r
; beauty when placed against dark wood
. panels. When a good effect is desired ,
the wood may" be concealed by soft col
ored material fastened with invisible
j nails. Only pale gray or creamy brown
( or greenish tinted semi-transparent stuffs
I should be used. Each bud and leaf and
j flower will then stand out in strong re
lief.
The Easter Kiss.
It is the Russian usage that no lady ,
however lofty of birth , may refuse to
kiss the humblest petitioner if the re
quest is preceded by a proffer of an
Easter egg. This is commonly compro
mised , however , by the payment of a
small coin on the lady's part.
A human being is not , hi any prop
er sense , a human being till he is edu
cated. H. Mann.
