Antifermentine is a simple, Harmless
preparation, free from taste, smell and
color, that has the property of stopping
and precenting fermentation in all vegeta-
bic food. 1t is especially useful for pre-
serving fruit of all kinds, retaining the
natural fresh appearance and taste Of the
fruit. It's use does away with labor, and
makes what has been hot, disagreeable
task, delight and pleasure. 1t substi-
tutes for the summer heat of the kitchen,
the cool shade ofthe lawn or piazza. It's
results are never doubtful when used
according to directions, and Strawberry
Short Cake, and Peach and Berry Pies
can be had in winter as well as in summer
It's use is profitable and economical, for it
saoes one-half of the sugar, saves the jars
broken by heat, Sa0es the fruit cooked
away, and saves time and labor lost by the
old methods One package will put up
30 quarts Of fruit. For sale by GEO. RULL-
MAN, agent, City Drug Store, Annapolis.

Bad Practice.

Standing in front of the church
door, either before or after service. is
practice that ought to be done away
with. 1t is especially annoying to
ladies to be stared at by those who
establish themselves in a prominent
position and then cape at the ladies
who may be entering or leaving
church. We hope this practice will
be broken up in Annapolis.

The Birthplace of,he Cholera

Tulon, the city in which the
cholera made its frst appearance,
is a seaport city of France, situated
at the head Of a double buy of the
Mediterranean sea. 1t stands up.
on ground which rises gradually
from the sea, and is sheltered by a
ridge of mountains extending
around the hay, II is strongly
fortified, and is especially rich in
fountains, trees and pramenades.
The military fort is the largest on
therMediterranean, and one most
Admirable of its kind, extending
over 800 acres and surrounded by
vast buildings, tho arsenal and
floating docks, are connected with
the supplementary arsenals Of
castignean and Mourillon. Ship.
building is carried on, trade and
industry are largely supported by
the naval works, which employ
10000 men. The most remarkable
feature Of this city of75,OO0 inhabi,
tants is that it has no sewers, And
I is probably owing to this facl
that the city is now being dep1p.
ulated by tho dreadful cholera
plague.
