A City of the Past.

Rimini is full of associations with
thrilling people Of the past. 1t was
here that Caesar crossed the Rubicon.
We crossed ourselves on the very
bridge his feet had touched. 1t YES
here, too, that st. Anthony cane to
preach and, finding no Y3ople who
would give heeG to LIZ, turned in de-
spair and preacheI to the fishes, who
raised their heads out of the water to
listen to him. There is chapel which
marks the spot where he stood by the
water. In Rimini lived Paolo and
Francesca, the tragedy of whose love
every one knows.-Trayel Magazine.

Municipal Newspaper.

Dresden is one of the few cities pos
sessing a municipal newspaper, and
this was bequeathed to the city by the
late DR.. Cunt. The bequest is a very
valuable property and consists Of q
daily newspaper, which in consequence
Of its extensive circulation is the prin-
cipal advertising medium in the neigh
borhood. The profits are applied to
the beautifying and Improvement Of
the city and to charity.

fFE APACHES.
This Tribe Holds the Record as Ba
Indians,


Scarcely tribe of our American In
dians but what have engraved their rec
ord Of crime and infamy high up Oh
history's wall, yet above them all is the
Apaches'.
From 1910 to 1858 New Spain and
Mexico carried on so called warfare
with these people. The Apaches were
vastly outnumbered by the Mexican
soldiery, but what they lacked in num-
bers was more than made up in cour-
age and craftiness. The Apache ever
had thorough contempt for the Mexi.
can soldier, and in later years, when
they were fighting with firearms as
well as arrows, they would not waste
cartridges on the MeXicans, but would
kill them with arrows, spears and
stones, saving their cartridges for other
and more worthy foes.
When this southwest region became
a part of the United States the Apaches
were a serious problem with which we
had to contend. Our government vacil-
lated between a simpering peace policy
and the other extreme, their extermina-
ton.
Their zone of wandering being inter-
sected by the international boundary
line further complicated matters. They
would raid down into Mexico and then
rush back with the plunder to our side
of the line, out of reach of the pursuing
soldiers. Next it would be a raid on
the Arizona side and a flight into the
wild mountains Of Sonora. The Mexi-
can government attempted to assist
their miserable army by giving scalp
bounty, and for years they paid out
their gold coin for Apache scalps.
Scalp hunting became a recognized in
dustry. The horror of this was that to
the Mexican official all scalps looked
alike whether from the head Of hos
tile or a friendly Indian. The price
was $100 for man, $50 for woman
and $50 for child. 1t is small wonder
that the tribe sank deeper into saw
agery than ever when we stop to think
that tie men knew there was a price
set on the scalp5 of their wives and
children, and there was horde Of
human fiends, white in color, but more
savage than the savage himself, who
were hunting them as they would q
cougar of the mountains.--E. S. Curtis
in Scribner's.

Like the Mythical Dropo,.

In the Malay archipelago is a reptile
much like the mythical dragon. 1t has
false ribs that extend the loose skin
and form its wings. There is also
frog with spreading feet that makes
parachute which enables it to fit from
tree to tree, and flying lemur that can
spread out its whole body like an UNI
brella and leap and fly hundred feet
at time, from the top of one tree to
another.

sweetheart of MRobin Aaair..

'Robin Adair'' was written by Lady
Caroline Keppel, the daughter of the
Earl of Albemarle. Robin was real
character, q young Irish doctor who
had been forced by scandalous ad-
venture to leave Ireland and seek his
fortune in England. Chance threw a
rich patient in his way, lady of quail
ity, and at her house he met Lady
Caroline, and the result was a case of
love at first sight on both sides. Her
parents objected and sent her away,
and during her absence she produced

PtOElaines.

Ptomaines, according to Quain, are
alkaloids produced by the decomposi-
ton of animal substances. The word
ptomaine was at first restricted to al
kaloids produced by cadaveric decom-
position, but it is now also employed
to designate alkaloids of animal origin
formed during life as result Of chem
ical changes induced by some agency
or other acting within the organism.

In several places in Cape Colony ana

"Why:" WAS the hurried inquiry.
"Well, if you don't hand in enough"

Do You Want TO Know
What You Swallow ?

There Is a growing sentiment in this
country in favor of MEDICINES OF KNOWN
COMPOSITION. 1t is but natural that one
should have some interest in the compo-
sition of that which he or she is expected
to swallow, whether it be food, drink or
medicine.
Recognizing this growing disposition
on the part of the public, and satisfied
that the fullest publicity can only add TO
the well-earncd reputation of his mcdi-
cineS, DR.. Z. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, n. Y,
has "taken time by the .forelock," as it
were, and is publishing broadcast a list
Of all the ingredients entering into his
leading medicines, the rGoldon Medical
Discovery the popular liver invigorator,
stomach tonic, blood purifier and heart
regulator; also of his "Favorite Prescrip-
ton" for weak, over worked, broken
down, nervous and invalid women.
This bold and out-spoken movement on
the part of DR.. Pierce, has, by showing
exactly what his well-known medicines
are composed of, completely disarmed all
harping critics who have heretofore un-
justly attacked them. A little pamphlet
has been compiled, from the standard
medical authorities of all the several
schools of practice, showing the strongest
endorsements by leading medical writers
of the several ingredients which enter into
DR.. Pierce's medicines. A copy of this
little book is mailed free to any one de-

ON THE LOCAL MARKETS
PRODUCE MARKET
FIRM AND ACTIVE.

The produce market was fairly active
yesterday. and the commission men and
wholesale dealers In country produce and
fruits had no SPECIAL complaints to make.
The receipts were not altogether as large
as they usually are at this time OF the
week. but they were sufficient to meet the
demand.
The receipts from Virginia farms are no
longer to be depended upon, and the mar
ket looks to the west for cabbage and
potatoes and to New York State for ap-
pes. Receipts from those sections are
limited. but enough to supply the demand
and keep the market fairly active.
Virginia has to be looked TO, however,
for fowls and eggs. and yesterday the
market was very we'll supplied with the
former but little off on the latter. Fowls
OF all kinds are bringing full value and
eggs are considerable high. They sold
yesterday for from % to g cents in crate
lots. The commission men who have
orders for eggs from New York were
eager yesterday for stock and offered out
side figures for big lots
Fruits and vegetables remained firm at
former quotations.

TOBACCO BY RAIL
KEEPS UP BREAKS.

Notwithstanding the cold spell and the
snow-storms the warehouses had fairly
good breaks yesterday. Something like a
hundred thousand pounds OF the sun-cnred
leaf were sold at the four houses. and
some very good figures were marked on
the books OF the clerks. Good wrappers
were offered at all the places and the
buyers being eager for them they were
sold at prices that were satisfactory to the
farmers. Several piles went off as high
as se6. and from that down to 81.
The filters offered. when found in good
order. also brought good prices and many
piles sold as high as sl4. per hundred
pounds.
The cool weather continues to cutail re-
ceipts. and for the remainder OF the week
the warehouses will offer only railroaded
tobacco. These. however. are insufficient
receipt to keep the buyers Interested. The
first sale this morning will be at Stone
wall. second at Shelburne's. third at
Crenshaw's and fourth at Shockoe.
