The City Waste Problem.

Two thousand acres of the environs
of Paris have been converted into a
most valuable market garden by ulili-
zing the sewage of the city. This has
grown from small beginning twenty
five years ago. The example is one
which must be followed by American
cities before many years. Indeed it
ought to be enforced by ordinance
now. This immense waste that is
permitted in all our large cities, in
fertilizing material, is disgrace to
our civilization and must some day be
atoned for. The fertility of our rich
fields has gradually been carried to
the cities and there consumed and
wasted, until commercial fertilizers
have had to be brought to us even
from foreign lands to restore tho soil
to productiveness. This process is
too expensive. The proper way to
keep up soil fertility is to return to it
the refuse of that which it has pro-
duced. This is the cheap and sensible
thing to do. But how can # be done |?
How can the sewage, that now
courses its Shiny way towards The
great rivers and CULTS, be held back
aud returned to the farms? Vino
will undertake to solve the mighty
problem, and thus prove himself the
benefactor of generations yet to be p
Indian Farmer.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

By local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
flammation can be taken ont and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever
nine cases ont of ten are caused by
caiarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness Caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by

FREE COINAGE OF
SILVER.

The free and unlimited coinage Of
silver, the product of American mines,
at the old ratio of I6 of silver to of
gold, is the only solution of and
remedy for the disturbed and unsatis-
factory condition of trade, manufac-
ture and general business of the coun-
try. The surreptitious act Of 1873,
divorcing silver and gold in our none
tary system, was crime of untold
magnitude. 1t was the rankest kind
of class legislation in favor of the
wealthy against the producers of
wealth, and hostile to the prosperity
of the United States. 1t was an act
of treason because done at the instance
of European syndicate and for bride
money, "giving aid and comfort to.
our country's enemies" To shield
the guilty parties, the well authenti-
Gated facts, often published, have been
vigorously denied.
The Enquirer will continue to ex-
pose this objectionable crime until
right and justice are done the people
by the full restoration of silver to its
old companionship with gold. We
need the assistance of the people in
disseminating the truth, to which end
we invite all in your selection of pa

A sunkcn Garden.

One of the most beautiful features
in Paramount park during the sum-
mer time is the Sunken garden. The
famous Horticultural hall, which was
left over since the Centennial expo
sition, is regarded as one of the finest
structures in the United States. The
ground, however, on which, it was
erected, being somewhat Level, did
not show off the building to its best
advantage. The designer therefore
lighted on the happy idea of making
the Sunken garden, extending it for
a long distance, which thus afforded
the opportunity of adding to the APP
parent elevation of the building and
at the same time furnishing tract
for flower gardening under the mass
ing system known as carpet bedding,
which was at that time so popular.
One of the weaknesses of this car
pet bedding system was that from the
point of view of the observer looking
at an angle the best effects could not
be obtained as when looked down on.
This system of bedding has in a
measure given way to the continual
desire for change which permeates
humanity. 1t is still great favorite
here and in this case, simply because
of the opportunity for looking down
upon it, referred to. The avenues
on either side are lined with European
planes. -Meehan's Monthly.

The most famous Of Nine. le Bruins
portraits Of Marie Antoinette is that
representing the queen surrounded
by her children, a painting which
now forms one of the greatest treas
ures of Versailles. The picture was
first finished for the Salon of 17SS
and was highly praised by King Louis
XVI, who received the artist most
kindly. II do not understand much
about painting" he said, looking at
her work, ''but you make me love
it." The painting was hung in one
of the halls at Versailles, through
which the queen always passed on
her way to and from mass.
After the death of the dauphin
early in 1889, the sight of her child's
picture SO affected her that the paint
ing was removed. The artist always
protested against powder, rouge and
all the absurd and inartistic fashions
of the day, and often gracefully
draped her sitters in shawls and
scarfs. She invariably wore herself
simple white dresses of muslin or
linen made in tunic style, and gen
orally twisted a muslin kerchief
around her head. Jenness Miller

VI How lovable man DIR. Holmes was

than the rest of the world. And how

Kings Chapel on Sunday on a horse

the world, chatting pleasantly with
acquaintance, and giving all the peo-
pie in the car the benefit OF his witty
sallies; for with DIR. Holmes it was
not necessary, as it is with good
many humorists, to study up humor
in advance; he always had it on tap,
| as ii were. In his house he had no
airs of greatness or exclusiveness. He
was really glad to see people who
came to him on any respectable errand
and in bis declining years, when he
was,n not so busy man as he had been,
he liked to read his verses to visitors
whose interest appeared intelligent.
His amiability aud the exceeding
pleasantness of his bumor were illus
trated by an incident which happened
few years ago. A young newspaper ,
man, just out OF Harvard, who has
siuce made his way in the world with
entire credit to himself and the college, :
was sent down to Beverly Farms to

all the way. AT the station
there was some time to wait, and DR.. ;,
Holmes, with twinkle in his eye, ;,
that he and the young jour-
nalist go over to the store and be

IF the same height and build as the

poor health. DR.. Holmes made the

weighed exactly one hundred and
