popularity supposed to be, a tideless sea,
Outfits not SO IN reality. In many places
there ID o distinct rise and fall, though
this ts5fnSre frequently due toswinds and

At Venice there Is rise OF from one to
two feet in spring tides, according to the
prevalence OF winds up or down the Adrf-
attic. In many straits and narrow arms Of
the sea there is periodical flux and re-
Rux, but the only place where the tidal in.

tide runs at the rate Of two Or three knots

three to eight feet.-Ph Philadelphia Ledger.

Paul Dunbar was born in Dayton in 1872.
His parents had been slaves in Kentucky.
He started at six years of age to attend the
Dayten public schools and graduated at
eighteen, He eycelled in composition and
elocutien. and at fourteen years of age his
little beems were readily accepted by the
LEGAL papers. With bent toward writing
he continued to supply newspapers with
poetry and sketches, and gradually to ap.
pear at public entertainments as a reciter.
y Young Dunbar is a quiet, unassuming
fellew, and has hosts of friends in this city
and county, where he is regarded as a
bright and talented youth, whose abilities,
If afforded proper opportunities, will make
for him o creditable career.

Non.ense About Tomatoes.


An idea has gained currency during
the past few years that the tomato a,
an article OF diet Is liable to produce
or encourage the terrible disease o.
cancer, and not long ago it was alsc
started that the use of this vegetable
had been forbidden at the Cancer
Hospital. So widely spread has this
notion become that DR.. Marsden chair.
man of the Medical Committee of the
Cancer Hospital, London, has through
it advisable to give it official contra.
diction. He says that his committee
has been inundated with letters on
this subject, and he begs publication
for the following statement, which we
hope will settle the matter once for all.
IL is the opinion of the committee
shat tomatoes neither predispose to
nor excite cancer formation, and that
they are not injurious to those suffer
ing from this disease, but on the con.
traty are a very wholesome article of
diet, particularly so if cooked
