sins amt grapes what are they|
"But you said these were dried cor
inths," persisted the customer. whats
q corinth, anyhow
"a corinth is the smallest grape that
grows" replied the learned grocer,
'and it lost it's name years and years
ago because it was gradually corrupted
into 'currant,' which became also the
name Of the calculated little berry Of
garden, which you might dry from
now until Gabriel sounds his horn
without getting 1t nearer the condition
of q raisin than a pea is.
"This little grape grows all over the
islands Of the Grecian archipelago and
was first exported from Corinth, and
that's what gave it It's proper name.
The punches don't grow much bigger
than a stem of red currants, and they
are so full Of sugar that when they are
picked and dried in the sur they actu-
ally seem to melt and run together like
gumdrops, and it takes a lot of care
and work to separate them again.
"After they IRE separated is the time
when the Grecian maiden gets her
work in on 'em, for 1t is one Of her
pleasant duties to jump on a heap of
the sticky stuff with her bare feet until
she has compressed enough Of the little
raisins to squeeze three boxes Of them
into one. No hydraulic pump could do
1t better. If it could, we wouldn't have
the sand and grit the maiden's feet
mingle with the fruit. and without that
no dried corinths are genuine.
"Still, l shall expect folks to come IL
here right along and ask for dried cur.
rants just the same" said the learned
grocer as he went to wait on q new Gus
tomer.-New York Press.

Turkish Won en-.

The lot of women in Turkey, despite
the change for the better that recent
years have inaugurated, seems to leave
something to be desired. Foreign gov
ernesses have educated the children in
the best Turkish households, and there
fore they grow up with European hab-
its and ideas. But the sultan, 1T ap-
pears, is resolved that Turkish women
shall not adopt the customs of the wo-
men Of other lands and fears that with
the spread Of education they may de-
sire greater freedom and wish to assert
their individuality to an extent that
might prove announcement. He there
fore is constantly making more and
more stringent rules as to their con-
duct, forbidding them to wear a yash-
max that does not cover the face close
ly or to indulge in costumes which
have sleeves and bodices, wishing them
TO adhere to the old shapeless garment
called feridji. The latest regulation is
to the effect that the police must dis
perse any gathering of more than three
women in the streets. Thus the women
have no social life owing to the sultan's
dread of gatherings. No parties of any
kind are permitted save wedding par
ties. The only freedom that Turkish
women are allowed is on Friday or
Sunday, when they go in boats and car
riages to the sweet waters of Europe
and Asia to religious service, being
even then closely yelled.

Mrs. Wright is a schoolteacher by

their prejudice against women in poll

ATTENTION, LADIES.

The Diamond Garment Cutter
school is now open for the inspection
of the ladies. II they will call and
see what is being done by the schol-
ars they will appreciate the work.
This is an opportunity the ladies Of
Rock Island will never have again
a school brought to their very doors,
thus saving each person who desires
to learn the art of cutting, fitting and
making fine costumes at least $50
each. The Diamond Garment Cut
ter" has been a boon to thousands
both rich and poor-educating the
daughters in a useful art. enabling
the family to dress nicely at a moder-
ate cost and done it's full share to-
wards supplying the comforts and
blessings of happy home. Ladies,
do not neglect this opportunity Of
fered here now, and then regret it
like others who have said: "OI how
1 wish that had taken instructions
when had the chance" If our field
instructors call on you do not let
them 60 away without making a full
explanation of our work in the school
room, but if they do not call at your
home. come to the room and investi-
gate for yourselves. Many are avail
ing themselves of this opportunity
of lifetime" Parents, fulfill your
duties TO your daughters and teach
them useful knowledge; whereby. if
necessity demands it, they can earn an
honest living and maintain their
womanly dignity. We fully believe
there is not family in this city own
ing a sewing machine that will let
this opportunity pass after they un-
derstand ust what the diamond

with It any garment worn In the family with

Nine. Sarah Bernhardt has had her
hair cut short in order that she may
look properly manly when acting the
part of the Due de Reichstadt in ''LAi-
glon." Not lightly did the great artistic
decide on sacrificing her beautiful hair,
but after trying In vain to look the part
in a wig-she had upward of 80 to
choose from-she made up her mind
that it was absolutely necessary. Nine.
Bernhard has laid aside the cut off
hair in n casket-for her friends, so she
says. She is much pleased with the
manly raiment she wears in "LAi-
glon," especially with the white uni
form of an Austrian colonel which she
dons for the second scene.

ought to know best. His organize
ton is an unpopular one. Chairman
Rowe has shown such lack of ability
that the leading men in the party are
disguised and will no doubt insist on
supplanting him with some man who
knows q few people and who knows
what a political campaign is. Yates
sails around above such petty affairs
as party policy. party Organization
and factional dissension. He depends
on his own speeches to carry the cleo
ton, and seems to think that he can
make the people believe that he is
right, no matter what position he as
sumes. If it were not a presidential
year his defeat would be by 100, 900
and it will not be a great deal below
that anyway.
Among democrats a pretty contest
for the nomination for governor is
going on. Alschuler, Orendorff and
Ortseifen have each established head
quarters at the Sherman house, Chi
cago, and their rooms are thronged
with visitors every day. Laid. Per-
rim and Worthington are still urged
by their respective friends. though
none of them appears to be making
any special effort TO secure the nomi-
nation. Mayor Harrison still con-
tinues to say that he is not a candi
date. but in spite of the assertion
many delegates declare they will vote
for him in the convention.

Question Answered.

Yes. August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmothers never thought of using
anything else for indigestion or bill
iousness. Doctors were scarce, and
they seldom heard of appendicitis,
nervous prostration or heart failure,
etc. They used August Flow
er to clean out the system and stop
fermentation of undigested food, reg
ulate the action of the liver, stimulate
the nervous and organic action Of the
system. and that is all they took when
feeling duh and bad with headaches
and other aches. You only need q
few doses of Green's August Flower,
in liquid form. to make you satisfied
there is nothing serious the matter
with you. Sample bottles free at T. h.
