then make your cross mark after that
same name. Remainder that any

forward to larger operations than any
other. and promises greater returns to
workingmen. Although the association did
not become ready to start its first business
enterprise until about seven months ago, It
is at the present time conducting the
largest grocery business and general market
In the combined cities Of Lewiston and Au-
burn, Me. Uewiston and Auburn are sep
arated only by the Androscoggin river and
nave combined population of over 49,

in cOmmodiouS and beautiful building

Is In the best business location of the two
cities. The association Is also conducting
successfully one Of the best restaurants in
Lewiston in a building owned by itself and
is now remOdeling another of its buildings
for the uses of bakery which IL intends to
start very soon.
Furthermore the management has plans
already definitely matured for absorbing
several of the largest established business
interests Of the city. This absorption is ex-
pected to be accomplished before the end
OF the winter. Independent of this absorp-
ton plan, however. 1t has definitely planned
the purchase of several large farms near
Lewiston, from which 1t will supply it's own
stores and its own co-workers with eyery-
thing that can be produced from the farm
The grocery store and market has more

lar patronage of the cO-workers and the ir-
regular patronage of the public in general

LONDON'S WATER SUPPLY.
Drinkers Absorb Carbonate and PhOs-
phate of Calcium.

From the London Mail.
The life os a Londoner is worth ten to
fifteen years less purchase than that Of
the average provincial. This fact Is due to
many causes. but the chief among them Is
the quality of the water. London water Is
"hard.' That is to say, 1t contains large
quantity of the carbonate and the phos-
phate of calcium. The tea kettle proves
this. When a Londoner examines his tea
kettle he must be Mortified to think what
the condition of his stomach must be-
But the tea kettle reveals only a fraction
boiled the carbonic acid which held part of
the calcium in a state of solution land
therefore invisible) Is driven off and the
solid calcium falls to the bottom. But boil
ing has no effect on the phosphates, They
still remain in solution, and are swallowed
In our tea and coffee.
Now. barring fatal disease. the chief
cause of decay and death is Qualification of
the blood vessels. This prevents proper
circulation of the blood and produces apo
pleNy. In London water We swallow enough
stony matter to shorten our lives ten or a
dozen years. Drinkers OF soft water escape
this life destroyer, and hence most proyin-
cial people live longer than Londoners The
moral is that every Londoner ought to well
come the day when fresh sources of supply
Will be available. The Welsh water which
the London county council hopes some day
to obtain. has very little calcium salts and
u should prolong the life Of it's consumers

We learn that a proposal Is under con-

indicated A form does proclaim its own
value, but in Roman characters not very
plain to the eye. That being so, a change

reason why, in the official announcement
made yesterday. with reference to new
coinage, nothing was said as to the new
silver coins.

terest to us Is artistic. and one cannot come
to any decision In that matter merely from
published descriptions of the coins. Wait
till we see them" He mentioned that
though f6 and e. gold pieces were being
issued. it was only in accordance with Gus
tom. and there did not seem to be any ex-
pectation that they would be much used in
commerce. In the coinages Of George I
and George II f1ve-guinea gold pieces and
two-guinea gold pieces were issued. 1t was
the same with the George III coinage, but
when George Nv came to the throne a
change was made to fve-pound and two
pound pieces,

BOSNIA'S CAPITAL.
Attractive Approaches to and Good
Features of SarajevO.


Features of Sarajev0.
William Z. Curtis in the Chicago Record Herald.
The capital of Bosnia occupies slightly
place in a wide valley surrounded by pic
turesque mountains and is divided into two
nearly equal parts by the Miljacka. q
rapid, foaming stream which tumbles over
a rocky bed. Nine or ten artistic bridges,
some of them incrusted with the lichens OF
centuries, are approached by wide. we'll
shaded streets which slope up the mountain
sides with comfortable grade and give
excellent drainage.
Observed from the distant hills, Sarajevo
looks as If it were built in terraces, and the
trees in the streets make parallel lines of
green. alternating with lines Of red, which
are the roofs of the houses. In many
places are luxuriant gardens reached
through wide archways under the houses
In the oriental style, but they are generally
secluded. There is an abundance of pure
water supplied from the mountains for do
nestle purposes and for the many foun-
tains which decorate the interior patios of
the houses and gardens. While the resi-
dental portion Of the town Is irregular and
only partially built up, Sarajevo compares
well in architecture and in every other re-
spect with any city Of its size in Europe or
America, and some time will be beautiful

and the inhabitants are rapidly accumulat-
ing wealth.
Sarajevo has been frequently compared
with Jerusalem and Damascus. It is often
called the Damascus OF the north" and
perhaps the old part may bear some resem-
blance to those venerable cities, but the
new part is more like German or an Ital-
Ian town. There are several MOSQUES with
minuettes and domes and spires. Churches

apartment houses. government buildings
and public Institutions. The rathaus or
city hall Is beautiful modern structure of

PALACES OF VENICE.
Municipal Authorities Would Not Per-
nit Their Removal

William f. Curtis in the Chicago Record-Herald.
Some one has taken the trouble to tele-
graph from Boston to the European pa
pers. which contain so little American
news. that a Mrs. Sprague of that city has
purchased a Venetian palace and intends
to tear IL down, take the pieces home and
Te-erect 1t In one of the suburbs, so as to
outshine Mrs. Jack Gardiner who has built
Medicfan villa or something of that sort
Nobody here knows anything about Mrs
sprague or her plans, but IL Is very certain
that she will not be allowed to carry them
out. Americans can buy Venetian palaces
Several have already done so. Some Of the
most beautiful editces on the Grand canal
belong to Americans or have been bought
and restored by the dowries of America n
brides who have married Italian nobIemen
But the municipal authorities would not
permit any one to pull down q palace and
take the material away. There Ia "a yorv
strict law in Italy against the export of
works OF art, and a member OF the royaI
family even could not sell or give avav a
picture or statue. ornamental piece or a
pillar from a palace without the consent of

OrfYin of AhRinthe.
From the New York Herald.


Temperance people In Europe were re-
Gently much surprised at the discovery that
the deadly absinthe was originally an ex-
tremely harmless medical remedy. 1t was
French physician whe first used it. His
name was Ordinaire ana he was living as q
refugee at Couyet, in Switzerland, at the
close of the eighteenth century. Like many
other country doctors at that time. he was
also druggist. and bis favorite remedy
was certain elixir Of absinthe. of which
he alone had the secret. AT his death he
bequeathed the formula to his housekeep-
er, Mile. Grandpierre, and she sold it to
the daughters of Lieutenant Henroid. They
cultivated In their little garden the herbs
necessary for concocting It. and after they
had distilled certain Quantity Of the
liquid they sold it on commission to itin-
Grant peddlers. who quickly disposed of 1t
in the adjacent towns and villages. Final
ly. during the first decade ofthe nineteenth
century. wealthy disfHIer purchased the
formula, and very soon afterward he
placed on the market the modern absinthe,
which differs greatly from the old medical
remedy, since the latter contained no alco-
hol and very little absinthe.
