Elsewhere in this issue will be
found the attractive advertisement
of Messrs. Achee & Caillouet, pro-
prietors of the celebrated franklin
Bakery. These gentlemen since
their short time with US have worked
up a fine trade among the people
of the town and vicinity, this is
especially due to the fact that the
bread and pastry manufactured BY
them are of the best quality. In
order to supply the demand they are
forced to bake twice day. Messrs.
Achee & Caillouet have also leased
the bakery on Willow street espe-
cially for their increasing business
in pastry, where an experience cake
baker is employed turning out hot
pies, cream puffs, ginger snaps and
other fancy cakes. All orders will
be promptly attended to.

A society formed by the students
Of the Northwestern University of
Evansville, Ind, is known as the
"Kiss Summers" who solemnly
pledge themselves to refrain from
all kissing and to use their influence
to persuade others to do likewise, on
the ground that kissing is demoral-
izing and detrimental to health and
morals. A number of girls are said
to have joined this society and it is
safe to put them down as ascidulous
spinsters of unkissable age and
quality, in line with the sentiments
expressed by Josh Billings relative

The government wants to give
New Orleans a great public build
ing and invited bids for a suitable
location. An entire block is
wanted and the price is limited to
100000 There were several bids
and they were rejected, the sites
not being considered central
enough for a postoffice. The post
Office department is not likely to
secure a centrally located block in
New Orleans for so insignificant a
sum. But if there were the proper
public spirit in the Crescent City
the sum would be augmented by a
local subscription to secure the
great building.

THE. TURKISH WOMAN.

Her Friday Excursions on the Sweet
 Waters of Asia.
 Friday is the only day on which Turkish women enjoy a little liberty and release from the dreadful seclusion in which they are always kept, and they are not slow to avail themselves Of the chance. On Fridays every one goes to the Sweet Waters of Asia, which consist of small river running about two miles inland, with trees and meadows on each side. Hundreds of boats assemble and glide up and down the river. Every boat or caique has two or more Turkish ladies on board. The sight is very fine one, as each private caique is most carefully got up, and the boatmen wear brilliant liv- cries to match the cushions and the long embroidered cloth which hangs over the stern and trails in the water. The khedivah of Egypt is one of the finest, in crimson and gold, embroid- cred with crowns and fishes. Besides the liveries the parasols make a won derful show, and here may be seen all the latest Parisian creations. The la dies must not speak to men, but the careful observer can frequently catch sight of veils lowered or other signal given when a particular boat is pass ing. and habitual frequenters can point out boats which are sometimes close to each other. 1t is very innocent d1- version and would not satisfy western ladies. An hour before sunset the po- lice boats appear and force all women to leave-T nndnn Telegraph

Don't forget the old man with the fish on his back.
 For nearly thirty years he has been travelling around the world, and is still travelling, bringing health and comfort wherever he goes.
 To the consumptive he brings the strength and flesh lie so much needs.
 To all weak and sickly children he gives rich and strengthening food.
 To thin and pale persons he gives new firm flesh and rich red blood. Children who first saw the old man with the fish are now grown up and have children of their own.

|the problem promises to become the sub- |1ect of considerable debate in the senate Ecommittee on foreign relations, 1t is not Believed that it will prove serious ob- atacle. Representative Payne told your correspondent to day that he was sure the perogatives of the house would be re- Expected, and that he anticipated that the treaty would be promptly ratified. He suggested that if the treaty was ratified
 by the senate without clause requiring
 the sanction of the house, a course he deemed improbable, 1t was quite likely that the president would then bring the
 matter to the attention of the house, with the recommendation that such legislation Joe enated as might be necessary to make its provisions effective.
 The house has appropriated $500,0OO Ito be expended under the direction of the attorney general in the enforcement of the antitrust laws. The appropriation was made on the impulse of the moment and as an amendment to the legislative and judicial bill, but virtually conforms
 to the bill offered by Representative Hep
 burn soon after congress- convened. It is the opinion of many members of both houses of congress that this will be the extent of the antitrust legislation at this session. It is believed that the senate will approve the amendment, and 1t will then be argued that it would be wiser to
 wait until the attorney general has dem- onstrated the full scope of the present
 laws as well as their deficiences, before attempting t6 enact new laws or amend
 the old ones.
 But one question remains to be settled before the Colombian treaty will be ready
 to be signed, and that is the question of annual rental of the required zone of land. Colombia represents that at the present
 time she receives revenues amounting to upwards of $450, 900 from the zone. From the Panama railway she receives $250,- 900, and the remainder from other sources, such as port, tonnage and lighthouse dues, etc. She therefore demands that the
 United States agree to an annual rental of $500,O00, which amount Secretary Hay
 regards as too large. The initial pay
 ment has been agreed upon and will amount to $1O,OOO, ,OOO. It is believed
 by the administration that the existing
 difference will be overcome, and that the
 treaty will be ready for the senate when
 congress reconvenes on January 9th.

Bad Taste in the Mouth

When you get up in the morn ing with a coated tongue and a bad taste in the mouth, you may or may not be seriously ill, but if there is any disease going, you will catch 1t.
 Even though you catch " no definite disease, you are likely to be worse before you are better unless you attend to yourself.
 We know what you think-first you are half persuaded to try Vinol, and then you say to your self: "That's the same story all the medicines tell; we've heard it before.
 But Vinol is not like other medicines. If it were, we shouldn' t be talking about it.
 Vinol is not a secret medicine.
 Any doctor will tell you that cod liver oil (the principal ingredi- ent in VinoD, has been the recog- nized standard tonic and body builder for three hundred years, and would be to-day except that the old kind tastes so bad folks won't and can't take it.
 Vinol is made by a remarkable chemical process which cuts out the grease and bad taste and leaves all the medicinal qualities of cod liver oil intensified.

can,e,s In Africa.

At the present day camels are used
for all sorts of domestic purposes in
Africa. They may even be seen draw
ing plows in the interior of the regency
of Tunis. You may remark woman
and camel harnessed to the same
plow, and you hesitate to decide
which is the greater outrage. They
are also used for drawing water from
the strange, cumbersome, old fashioned
wells of north Africa. Their chief use
however, is for caravans. You may be-
hold them bringing in huge cases of
dates from the cases, or you may see
them with great tentlike structures Of
red silk upon their backs. These tents
are for the conveyance of Arab women
of the upper classes, who seek to main
tain the privacy of the harem when
on a journey. Two women and some
children are often accommodated on
one camel. They have cushions on
which they can lie down and even
sleep. 1t is stuffy, and it is dark, but
they deem themselves well off in escap-
ing from the searching rays of the
burning sun.

Probably one of the mast remarkable
curiosities IN the world is the twin tree

nature consists OF two healthy trees
some twenty feet high. with brilliant

A cavity was formed in the upper
trunk of the bottom tree, which was
filed with decaying bark and the ac-
cumulated dust and debris OF years.
This became q sort OF bed. from which
sprang the roots and In time produced
