THE CITY OF CANEA.
The Capital of Crete and Scene of Re-
cent Trouble.

The Capital of Crete and Scene of Re-
cent Trouble.
Canea, or Khania, since 1S41 the cap
ital of Crete, and it's principal seaport,
is situated on the northern coast of the
island, and about 25 miles from it's
western extremity on the isthmus of
the Al1rotiri peninsula, which lies be-
tween the Bay of Canea and the Bay of
Suda. 1t is on the site of the ancient
Cydonia, is the principal commercial
town of the island, with a population of
about $4,000. 1t is closely built, ir-
regular and overcrowded, and sur
rounded by massive Venetian wall.
Of late years few of the streets have
been widened.
The ordinary buildings are of wood,
though few of the more important are
of more solid materials. There are
some Greek churches, a number of
Turkish mosques, Jewish synagogue,
military hospital in an old Venetian
building, and substantially construct
ed prison. The foSse is laid out in
gardens; public gardens have been con-
structed outside the walls and artesian
wells have been bored by the govern
ment. The harbor is 1900 feet long,
formed by an ancient transverse mole,
indicated by a lighthouse and protect
cd by a fort. The harbor is shallow,
but affords safe anchorage for vessels
of 500 tons.
Oil, soap and wax are the principal
exports; shipbuilding on a small scale
is carried on in the port, and there is
considerable manufacture of leather.
The town is the seat of the Greek
bishop, sutfragan to the metropolitan
of Gambia. 1t is also the official resi-
dence of the European consuls. In
1856 the town suffered severely from an
earthquake.-Toledo Blade.

CLEVERLY MANAGED,
The Master Stroke of a Matrimonial
Match Maker.

In an Illinois town Miss Blizzard
lately demonstrated practically beyond
question the truth of the old saying so
strenuousfy insisted upon by many
women: "The quickest way to reach a
mans heart is through his stomach"
Miss Blizzard kept IL select boarding
house, and among her patrons were MIR.
William d. Mcbride and Miss Addie
May McDowdell. In view of subsequent
developments, the assumption is war;
ranted that Miss Blizzard, liking those
two young people very much indeed,
reached the inevitable feminine con-
clusion that the best thing such nice
couple could do was to fall in love with
each other as promptly as possible, get
married and live happily ever afterward.
1t was genial and friendly conclusion
to reach, and it should not be unsafe to
say that, having arrived at it, Miss Biz
zard lost no time in herself assuming
the role of the god in the machine" and
so guiding events as to inevitably bring
about the final blissful denoument upon
which her kindly heart was set. 1t is
easy to understand that, having Mr.. Nc
Bride and Miss McDowdell under the
same roof with her, Miss Blizzard was
mistress of the situation to an unusual
degree, and 1t is to be presumed that she
worked those two young people one
against the other in every way likely to
make each see the others good points in
the very strongest light possible.
But she did more. With the pulse of
the situation under her touch always, it
would seem that Miss Blizzard knew to
nicely just when the crucial moment
was reached, and at that crucial mo-
ment, knowing that Mr.. McBride's sex
made it imperative that he should take
the initiative in bringing matters to a
climax, the crafty Miss Blizzard played
her strongest card. She prepared little
supper aimed at the very citadel of Mr..
McBride's affections, and at that supper
she saw to it that Mr.. Mcbride was
helped to the choicest of each and every
dish. The happy man was feasted like
a lord, with pretty Miss McDowdell fac
ing him as he feasted.
Miss Blizzard rose from the table a
winner During the very progress of the
momentous repast, Mr.. McBride's heart
melted within his bosom, and, gazing
fondly upon Miss McDowdell, he then
and there challenged her to become Mrs.
Mcbride. The challenge was accepted,
license procured, minister was sum-
moned, friends were hidden to the joy
GUS scene and the knot was tied.
Miss Blizzard deserves a roseate i'm
mortality. Her healthy confidence in
the irresistible nature of the conjunc-
ton of good things to eat with pretty
girl to look at warrants the conspicuous
perpetuation of her memory.-St. Louis
Republic.

words notary public" beneath it, and
the 'gummy ink of the stamp was still
fresh enough to be blurred by the
thumb of the reader.
Philip read the papers leisurely u
second time and handed them back to
the attorney.
I'm sorry you went to so much
trouble" he said. II have given up the
idea of buying inside, and have been
thinking more particularly of trying
something in the resident district"
Sharpless met him half way, and
Philip thought he surprised tieeting
expression of relief on the shrewd face
of the lawyer. "That'sa sensible change.
Between us, and leaving Mr.. Fench out
of the question, believe there's more
money to be made in Cheltenham
Heights than on broadway. I've scat
tered my own little bit of capital
around on the edges"
Philip got away as soon as he could
decently, and went back to his room to
piece together the deductions which
might fairly be drawn from the inter-
view. The first point made clear was
the urdoubted guilt of the conspira-
tors; if they had committed forgery for
the purpose of imposing on q single
customer, it was reasonable to conclude
that they had not hesitated when the
necessity was far more urgent. An
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1897-05-14

other deduction was of even greater i'm
portance. Fench and Sharpless had
a confederate in Pragmore, and here
was a vulnerable poinA If the notary
set a price upon his Silence, he might
also be induced to speak, if it Were
made sufficiently profitable for him to
do so. A third inference was that the
original forgery and the deed from
Gates lad disappeared; otherwise the
consp;rators would not have been at
The trouble of fabricating new ones.
Philip sat up late that night, study
ing the problem and trying to deter
mine what he should do next, but his
perseverance was rewarded only by the
turning of one more conjecture into a
certainty. The note which had called
him to the attorneys Office was in
typewriting, and comparison of its
mechanical inaccuracies with those in
the anonymous letter to Duncan proved
that both were written on the same ma
chine.

folded paper in the mans hand, and was
about to deny it's ownership, when
his eye caught the name "Kil-
grow" on the back of one of
the folds. He took the paper
with what nonchalance he could mus
ter, gave the old negro a quarter, and
did not dare to look at the thing until he
had put hundred yards of the forest
on Johns mountain between himself
and the possibility of prying eyes
Then he examined the square of grimy
paper with singing in his ears and
the blood jumping from heart to brain.
There was no room for doubt or uncer-
tainty; he held in his hand the forged
deed. The document which had so long
eluded him had come to him at last by
the merest accident; and If anything
were needed to make his triumph COM
plete, it was added by the discovery that
the written text of the deed was in the
unmistakable handwriting of Mr.. Jen-
kins Fench. That was enough; but
there was another and still more con-
elusive evidence of the forgery. The
stationers' imprint in the corner Of the
blank fixed its making five years later
than the certified date of the document
itself.

A mirror should never stand or be

The light and heat produce a chemical

Many cooks believe the white meal,
made from southern corn, is superior
to the yellow, made from that grown
at the north. Nevertheless a johnny
cake doesn't seem to advertise itself as
such unless it is a golden yellow. The
yellow meal is very sweet and nice.
Beans soaked "a hours in tepid water
and then cooked short time only,
merely long enough to make them ten
der and well done, and beans put on
to cook with little or no soaking and
boiled long time, are quite two sepa-
rate and distinct dishes. And if you
don't believe it you may demonstrate it
by experiment. Those soaked the long
est will be by far the most appetizing.
In cooking the breakfast table cereals,
the object is to give them chance to
absorb water and to cook the starch
thoroughly. The larger and drier Il
grain the more time must be allow,
for the accomplishment of this result.
Whole grains are improved by pre-
vious soaking; those that are finely

Others should be sifted through the
fingers into boiling salted water. Cook

BY irresistible facts and logic it shows clearly
that the natural and easy way of maintaining
forever the parity of all gold, silver and paper
money is to make them equally legal tender,
but not redeemable in each other nor in any

The author holds that our financial and in
dustriGl woes come chiefly from the present
system of coin redemption, and he points out q
way to speedy relief.
The measures proposed in this book are the
logical outcome of the principles of the Peoples
Party, and the rapid circulation of this book

scattered forces of the party, and in making new

The New Woman.

Here lies a poor woman who always was
busy.
She lived under pressure that rendered her
dizzy.
She belonged to ten clubs and read Brown
ing by night,
Showed at luncheons and teas, and would
vote if she might.
She served on a school board with courage
and zeal,
Hhe golfed and she kodaked and rode on a
wheel:
She read Tolstoi and Ibsen, knew microbes
by name,
Approved of Delsarte, was Daughter
and 'Dame;"
Her children went in for top education:
Her husband went seaward for nervous
prostration.
One day on her tablets she found an hour
free
The shock was too great, and she died in-

SOUTH'S URBAN GROWTH.
Her Rural Districts Have Not Pro-
gressed PrOpOrtiOnateIy.

Her Rural Districts Have Not Pro-
gressed PrOpOrtiOnateIy.
The rural south, especially in the
older portions, is, economically speak
ing, far from progressive, and what was
once the single occupation of the south
ern gentleman is now the last that he
would voluntarily assume. In the rich
valley and on the grazing lands of south
west Virginia, in parts of Georgia and
in the blue grass region of Tennessee
farming pays fairly, owing to the great
er thrift of the inhabitants and to the
fertility of the soil, but, on the whole,
the progress of the new south, like that
of the rest of the country, certainly
has not taken this direction. 1t is
through its urban development only
that the section has justly earned its
sobriquet.
New cities like Roanoke, Va, have
sprung up on ground that 20 years ago
was parceled into farms. Ante-bellum
villages have become large cities, as
in the case of Atlanta and Chattanooga.
Old towns like Nashville and Richmond
have taken a fresh lease of life and be-
come rich and progressive. A new rail-
road has made the fortune of this place,
"A new textile or other industry has
caused the growth of that. And all
this progress has been due to the aboli-
ton OF slavery and to the destruction
of property caused by the civil war.
The southerner of the last 80 years
has simply had to work in order to live,
and, like the rest of the world, he has
preferred the town to the country
Atlanta.

Waist Innings.

An absurdity in wash waists which
has appeared is that of organdie or linen
with a tight lining. The success of the
shirt waist depends upon the ease with
which it can be fastened on and its
comfort while on. A tight lining de-
feats these objects. Lace in vulgar
quantities also is seen upon some wash
waists intended for common use. The
tasteful woman probably will avoid law
ishness in lace should she use it at all
on her laundered blouses. She no doubt
will find it more satisfactory to keep
to individuality in color than to indulge
in vagaries of cut.-St. Louis Republic.
