head gear, fancy little hats, that although
not sufficiently large to protect much Of tine

velvety albums, handsomely bound books of
poems and standard literature; gorgeously

Cincinnati Commercial Gazetta1
At the International Medical congress- in
Copenhagen, Professor Crudeli, of Rome,
read paper on Malaria and Its Remedies =
Acknowledging the great value Of quinine
and arsenic as preventive and curative, he
said a cheaper, harmless, and yet effective
remedy may be found in the ordinary lemon.
He advised that a decoction Of lemon be
made as follows: Cut up one lemon, peel
and all, into thin slices, put it into three
glassfuls of water, and boil it down to one
glassful. Strain the liquid through linen,
squeezing thoroughly the remains of boiled
lemon, and set it aside to cool Drink the
whole amount when fasting. As the decoc-
ton possesses cathartic properties, the dose
should not be repeated too frequently, not
more than once a day, or every other day,
according to individual susceptibility.

Description of a Mammoth
Manufacturing Establish
ment,
Of Which the City of Wichita
Feels Justly Proud.
In Which Modern Machinery, Scientific
Principles and Experience Com
bines to Form Massive
Work.
Details of the Interior Appointments,
Machinery, and a word About
the Modus Operandi.

That the city Of Wichita is making rapid
strides to foremost position among the
great commercial centers of the Great West
can be amply illustrated in description of
the number and magnitude of her wholesale
and manufacturing establishments.
Among the varied and extensive manu-
featuring establishments of which our city
boasts, the mammoth cracker and candy
mandatory known as the "Wichita Crack
er CO.. No. 418 Douglas avenue, stands at
the head.
This establishment was opened here about
thirty days since by Messrs. G. Gehring and
c. d. Phillips, two gentlemen of experience
who invested $4,000 in the enterprise.
The concern when running at the extent
of its capacity, employs forty hands and each
department is under the immediate super
vision of thoroughly experienced and
compent foreman, while the entire establish
ment is presided over by the heads of the
firm who are also thoroughly practical in
this line.
This concern is a great boon, not only to
Wichita, bnt to all the towns within a
radius of hundred miles of this
city. Here our dealers rs we'll as
those Of every town and city within the
radius named can have their orders filed on
the shortest notice with goods that for quail
ity and beauty Of design are unexcelled in
the United States, with the further advan-
tage of saving heavy freights and getting the
goods all beautiful and fresh from the oven.
The concern employs three travelling
statesmen, and although the enterprise is but
fairly started, the demand is so great that
they are unable to keep any great quantity
of goods in store. The firm expect that at
an early day they will be compelled to en-
large their premises and increase their facili-
ties in order to supply their customers.
The main building is 25xl40 feet and two
stories high. On the lower floor are:
THE OFFICE AND RECEPTION ROOM,
in which are desk, an elegant Halls safe
and a telephone. This room is also used as
show room to display samples of the
goods manufactured.

A Nameless wOman's Monument.

An Augusta (Ga.) letter recites the
following particulars of a strange story:

keeping for herself. She had about
$75, 900 and was comely. 1t was well
known that the name she bore was
fictitious, but nobody cared to make in
quiry as to her true name or the place of
her birth The woman was joined by a
man who became noted gambler Her
fortune constituted his capital, and she
gave it to him ungrudgingly. A few
years ago she died and the court ap.
pointed an administrator to take charge
of her estate. 1t was fonnd that about
$40, 600 was left, and the administrator
then proceeded to hunt up the heirs
But not clue to the dead woman's
rightful name could be found. Among
her papers were several diplomas, show
ing that she had liberal education, but
in each the name had been carefully
erased. There we're also a number of
letters, but they had received the same
treatment The woman desired to be
dead to aid her past associations. She no

friends were concerned and she permitted
no one to draw ner secret from her

that she came from Philadelphia, but be-
yond this he could ascertain nothing.

but nothing came of it. No answer was

it escheats to the State and goes into the
educational fund. Thus in short time
the board of education of Richmond
county will come into possession of the
property and will be able to do much
good with it. She to whom it belonged
lies in nameless grave, but the property
itself will go to build school houses and
aid in fitting generation after generation
for the battle of life.
There are other incidents connected
with the story of this woman's life and
death that show some of the remarkable
vicissitudes of human experience. She
evidently belonged to some wealthy
family of the City Of Brotherly Love.
This is the first intance IN This section
where property escheated to the State.

Toe marriage bells toning in gles--
