Mrs. Martin In Afghanistan.

Mrs. Martin, wife of Frank Martin,
engineer to the ameer of Afghanistan,
is one of the very few white women
who have ever lived in the capital of
that strange country. She has lately
arrived at Simla and gives some inter
esting facts about the court of Afghan
istan. She says the ameer is kind and
courteous to the English and does his
best to make things pleasant for them.
There were only four other Europeans
in kabul when Mrs. Martin was there.
The house in which she lived was for
merly a harem and is inclosed by a
huge wall with strong gates. \ guard
of 10 of the ameer's sepoys surrounds
1t day and night, and by the ameer's
orders no member of the household is
allowed out without an escort. Mrs.
Martin took bicycle to Kabul and was
the first woman to ride n wheel in its
streets. The queen was struck with
admiration and, having ordered a cost
" machine from England, sent for
Mrs. Martin to teach her to ride it, but
after one or two attempts she grew
weary of trying to balance herself, and
the bicycle has been an ornament of
the harem ever since.

Summer.
The feeding of infants in hot wealth
er is very serious proposition, as all
mothers know. Food must be used
that will easily digest, or the undi-
gested parts will be thrown into the
intestines and cause sickness.
1t is important to know that food
can be obtained that is always safe;
that is Grape Nuts.
A mother writes: my baby took
the first premium at baby show on
the Sth inst, and is in every way a
prize baby. | have fed him on Grape
Nuts since he was five months old. ]
also use your Postum Food Coffee for
myself" Mrs. l.. F. Fish back, Alvin,
Tex.
Grape-Nuts food is not made solely
for baby food by any means, but is
manufactured for all human beings
who have triting, or serious, Difficult
ties in stomach and bowels.
One special point of value is that
the food is predigestion in the prog
ress of manufacture, not by any drugs
or chemicals whatsoever, but simply
by the action of heat, moisture, and
time, which permits the diastase to
grow, and change the starch into
grape sugar. This presents food to the
system ready for immediate assimila-
ton.
Its especial value as food, beyond
the fact that it is easily digested, is
that it supplies the needed elements
to quickly rebuild the cells in the
brain and nerve centers throughout
the body.

CAST UPON THE WATERS.
Las. Disposition of the Ashes of Charles
M. BlcknelI.

Last Disposition of the Ashes of Charles
M. BlcknelI.
The ceremony attending the final
disposition of the remains of Charles
NJ, Bicknell, whose ashes were cast
upon the waters of the Mississippi
from the Rock Island bridge, was i'm
pressive as we'll as ovel. Bieknell was
a student of Chicago university, who
recently. broke down from overwork.
The remains had been incinerated in
the Davenport crematory. This was
the means of disposal of the ashes that
was chosen by the family, and
while it is not the first time
this unusual practice has been
adopted. the rites at no time
have been more impressive than in
this instance. Young Bicknell was q
resident of Des MONIES and the re-
maines arrived in Davenport accom-
don. of Hamilton. Ill. and Rev. Ma
rion Murdoch, of Elkader, Iowa, two
ladies who fill pulpits of the Unitarian
church. The cremation was followed
by the departure of the relatives on
the afternoon train for home, but the
church women remained until even
ing. when they repaired to the Rock
Island bridge. One of the ladies car
ried an urn in which reposed the ashes
of young Bicknell. At about the GEN.
ter of the bridge they paused and the
contents of the urn was scattered
upon the waters of the great Missis-
sippi that flowed beneath them on
their way to the gulf.

AS TO RIVER ROADS.
Moline Talking Of One From
That City to Port
Byron.
REVIvEs AN OLD SUBJECT
That Of Direct Line From
Here to the Lower
End.

A petition is in circulation in Mo-
line to be presented to the board of
supervisors, asking that the river
road between Moline and Port Byron
be made a county drive. to be built
above high water mark with a SO foot
driveway.
This calls to mind the effort that
has been made in the past to interest
the county in a road to extend from
the lower end OF Rock Island across
Rock River near the mouth of the
Hennepin canal, and connecting with
the Andalusia road about one mile
east of the west line of Black Hawk
township. 1t would be less than five
miles in length and would bring the
lower end. of the county four miles
nearer Rock Island than it now is,
thus offering a strong inducement to
8 large trade that at present goes to
Aledo and Muscatine.
A General Advantage
Furthermore, if the proposed road
were properly constructed, it would
give a passible connection with bluff
roads at all times of the year, and
when the roads of the bottoms are al
most impossible farmers CO uld easily
reach the city.
Moline already has fair road to
the upper end. and if that city will
gain by it's Improvement, assuredly
Rock Island should not be slow to
urge the question of road to the
lower end.

To be bound hand and foot for years
by the chains of disease is the worst
form of slavery. George d. Williams,

of Electric Bitters she is wonderfully
improved and able to do her own

The average society woman works as

Tnn fact that ex. President Bepiamil

HE fact that ex-President Benjamin Harrison has expressed himself as op- posed to the Porto Rican turiif has given rise to the rumor that he aspires to the presidency. This Mir. Harrison emphatically denies, aud asserts posi- lively that he has no intention of again entering politics. The disclaimer IS unnecessary, as opposition to McKin- ley's administration Is not to be con sidered seriously in these days of party subserviency. Nevertheless, there is a respectable and influential minority in the republican party that would be de- lighted to see Harrison enter the lists against the president. It Is generally admitted that Benjamin Harrison is n much abler man than William Me Kinley. He is statesman of marked individuality and strength of character, while the president is politician, vAcillating and pliable, who holds party expediency above national honor and the welfare of the masses. Mir. liar rison's decision to hold aloof from pol itics at the present time. is wisely taken, as the republican party's chances in the next election are, to say the least, precarious.

THOSE republicans who are express ing so much satisfaction over the an- nouncement that Congressman Joseph c. Sibley has forsaken the democracy and Is giving his voice and vote to strengthen the majority in the house, are evidently not acquainted with Sib- ley's variegated political history. He has run the gamnt of political 'isms from middle of-the-road populism to republican-g -goldbugism everything by starts and nothing long. His latest flop is credited to compact with Quay, who in the event of failure to secure seat in the senate, has prom ised to support Sibley for the place.
