CURIOUS CAIRO.
The Water Sellers, Coffee Makers and
Fakirs OF the Streets.

The Water Sellers, Cohee Makers ana
Fakirs of the Streets.
The most numerous and also the
most interesting OF street figures in
Cairo are the water sellers. some of
whom go about with hideous looking
goatskins filed with Nile water
Others carry more inviting looking
reddish clay jars. decorated with brass
bands, and these jars often have q
piece of ice at their mouth and a sprig
of mint protruding on either side of
tee ice. The carrier with the goatskin
calls out his mission, but the other
with the jar carries in his left hand
two brass saucers, which he clinks to-
gether with a sort of musical jingle.
The water in either case is not filtered,
but is taken straight from the Nile,
and the purchasers are all natives,
who pay a fraction of a penny for all
they are able to drink.
The street sellers of coffee are every
where, squatting about on the pave
ments in the most unexpected places.
Their outfits comprise merely kettle
of charcoal. a small copper coffee cup
WIFI long TWO OF three SAlldil
bowls of china and a supply of coffee
and sugar. 1t takes one only a few
minutes to- brew fresh cup. and as
Turkish coffee goes that brewed by
the street seller is not really bad.
The ever present conjurer is worth
stopping TO watch. although the tricks
are in most part generally on the or
der of conjurers' tricks in other coun-
tries. The most interesting part of
their paraphernalia is their sign, which
is n small live rabbit. The moment
the performance begins the little ami
NAL rolls over, to all appearances dead.
but when some ten minutes later all
of the tricks have been done. some OF
which are admittedly more or less
puzzling. up jumps the little rabbit as
clipper and gay as ever. 1t is claimed
that the ego of the rabbit leaves the
body for the express purpose of assist
ing the conjurer. and one for a mo-
ment is inclined to give credence to
this while watching the performance
and after having seen the rabbit go
into its trance.-Harriet Quimby in
Leslie's Weekly.

How to Cure
Sour Stomach

One of the most common symptoms of
disordered digestion is sour stomach,
and many people who are otherwise well
continually have food gurgling in the
throat which has sour, sickening taste.
There is no sense in suffering in this
way because the condition is easily cured
by DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which
the foremost doctors believe Is the best
digestive tonic and laxative ever COM
pounded. This belief is shared by thou
sands of people who have used it for this
very purpose.
Among the strongest adherents OF this RENE
dy Is Mrs Fenbee. of Cum berland Furnace. Tenn.
who used single dollar bottle and cured her
self OF chronic sour stomach from which she
had suffered for seventeen years. Naturally.
she feels kindly towards the remedy that cured
her ana wrote us 70 that eject and asked us to
make the matter public so that other sour stoul-
ach sufferers would know where TO find relief.
Ihls remarkable tonic laxative is also the
very best remedy that can be found for cOnSti-
patton dyspepsia, flatulency. biliousness and
the many other ills OF the stomach, liver and
bowels 1t works gently but surely and is pleas
ant TO the taste. It sells in so cent and Al bot
ties. and your druggist viii guarantee tt to pro-
duce the results we claim. lis gentle action
makes 10 the very best laxative that one can
give child. and IL is therefore equally to be
recommended TO women and old folks who cam
and salts.
The next time any member of your family
has an ailment for which DIR. Csldwell's Syrup
PepSfn is recommended, buy a bottle and
how quick recovery Is. You viii be thankful
for having had your attention called TO 1t.

NOVEL PLAN IS HIT
UPON TO GET FUNDS
Members of Fifth Street Ep-
worth League Deal With
Publishing House.
COOK BOOKS TO BE SOLD.
THE SQUAD OF WORKERS THAT
COMES OUT BEST WILL BE CIV
EN- A BANQUET BY THE SQUAD

A novel plan has been originated by
the members OF the Epworth league OF
the Third M. T.. church in Fairview
for the purpose of raising money for
entered into with a publishing compa-
ny, which states that one hundred cook
books shall be sold by the members of
the league within a specified time, TO
obtain their share of the profit In
order to arouse additional interest it
was decided Monday night at the bus
mess meeting held at the home of Mrs.
Ella Hadden on Hunt street, that two
leaders should be selected who should
have the right to choose eleven help
ers each from the ranks of the league
workers, and form into rival squads
for the purpose of selling the books
faster. The terms of the contests are
to be that the squad which took the
longest time to dispose of its share of
the books should entertain the victori-
Gus squad at banquet. The leaders
of the squads will be Mrs Louella
Myers and Chas. Towle. Mrs. Myers
sons: Mrs. Ella MADDEN. Miss Flora
Coryell, Mrs. Stella Schlicker Mrs. Ida
Bowers. Mrs Lille CoryeIl. Miss Erma
Pickering. Miss Julia Cook. Leslie Car
man. j. Fred Schlagle, Mrs. Grace

Patty. Miss Eva Davis. Mrs. Alice
Schlagle. Miss Leota Lawrence. Will
Conkle, Thos. Martin, Mrs. Mary Rog-
ers. Ona Evans. Mrs. Pearl Bethge,

Considerable interest is being mani
tested in the contest, and both leaders
are confident they will eat the good
things at the expense of the other
squad. The canvassing will probably
not begin until the week after the
Fourth.

TRAIN PROVES POPULAR.

The c., G. e l.. night train to Chi
cago is proving popular and business
has increased wonderfully in the past
few weeks since the road decided to
make the rate of S. between Cincinnati
and Chicago. AS yet the competing
railroads have not announced whether
they will meet the c., G. & LIS rate
to Chicago from Cincinnati, but it is
probable they will not let the forced
differential of the c., G.. & l.. go by
unnoticed.

NEW TICKET ISSUED.

Still another special ticket has been
issued by the Pennsylvania to the

ticket is one to Norfolk via Boston.
This ticket like all others added to
the large collection first issued, is
given because there has been liberal
demand for it.

MARKING THE DIRECTION
This May Become the Custom
On New Walks.

1t is highly probable that small brass
markers win be placed at the various
corners of Richmond's streets to tell
the directions. The markers have
been placed in the new cement side
walks on Lincoln street and are prov
ing eminently satisfactory. The
guides are very convenient for per-
sons strange in the city. They are
inexpensive and City Engineer Charles
favors their use.

STEPHEN KUTH'S VIEWS.
RASpRERRIES AND BLACkBER-
RIES GIVE PROMISE OF EXCEED
ING THE STANDARD SET IN RE-
CENT YEARS.

This week will see the end of the
strawberry crop, according to Stephen
Kuth. owner of the Westville berry
and fruit farm from which Richmond
dealers secure most of the berries for
local consumption The strawberry
season this year has presented some
peculiarities which mark it as essen
TALLY different from many seasons
which have preceded. First the sea
son was fully ten days late in starting,
while it will end more than a week
early.
A thing which has not occurred in
the past twenty years will be expert
enced by berry growers in this local
ity this year There will be a week
between the closing of the strawberry
picking and the beginning of the rasp-
berry harvest The strawberry pick
ing generally overlaps the raspberry
season and oftentimes Strawberries and
raspberries are picked simultaneously
on the kuth farm for more than a
week

been far from satisfactory. the yield
being but half of the average crop. Mr..
kuth says the raspberries and black
berries give evidence of growing in
quantity and quality to exceed the
standard set in recent years.
The high price of strawberries. Mr..
Kuth having wholesaled his berries at
II and 121a cents, better price than
he ever received before, has not per-
mitted of much canning and Mr. Kuth
anticipates a heavy sale of raspberries
and blackberries for this purpose.
Despite the high price which he re-
ceived for strawberries, Mr.. Kuth says
his profits this year will not come up
to what they should by many dollars
In former years he made four trips
TO Richmond daily with berries while
this year he made but two and he has
not hauled as many days as usual.

New Ruling Affecting Timber
Claims.

Applicants for stone and tim
Der claims must hereafter make
second visit and examination of
the claim before making final
proof at the land Office. according
to a new ruling handed down by
the com missioner of the United
States land Office at Washington.
Over half dozen proofs from
the local land office have been
held up under the new ruling.
Notice was received today that
additional evidence would be
necessary before a final certi-
fcate for the claims could be
secured from Washington.
Heretofore it has only been
necessary for an applicant for a
tim Der and stone claim to visit
and make a thorough examina-
ton of the land just before he
makes the original application.
An affidavit signed by himself
and his witnesses is then pre-
scented at the local land Office.
Under the new ruling it would
seem that a second examination
of the land by the applicant and
his witnesses will be necessary
as under it the department. asks
for an affidavit at the time the
final proof is made showing that
the applicant and his witnesses
have visited the land on the date
or about the date that the proof
is made.
This will entail considerable
additional expense upon the APP
plicant and many protests con-
corning the rullng were heard al
the local land Office today. To
some of the applicants who came
from a distance it will be almost
impossible to make an examina-
ton of the land nearer than two
weeks of the time the final proof
is made. -
1t is expected that a test case
will be instituted sooner or later
and if possible the land commits
sioners will be compelled to
change the ruling Itasca Co.

Form A Company.

There has been filed with
the Register of Deeds the
articles of Incorporation OF
The Henry Steam Flue Clean
er Company. This company,
of which VIM. Neuman. David
Murray and V. T. Pierrelee
are the incorporators, has a
capitol stock of S25, 00O.O 90
and is organized for the pur-
pose of marketing the steam
fue cleaner recently patent
ed by J. E. Henry of this city,
engineer at the Water Works,
and other appliances. X
This fue cleaner does away
with the present laborious
and dirty method of cleaning
boiler Hues with a scraper,
and engineers who are now
using it say they can clean
all their fues in five minutes,
where it used to take an hour
or more, and that it makes a
very material saving in fuel.
AS this cleaner can be used
on all horizontal tubular boil
ers, and there are hundreds
of thousands of them in the
United States and Canada, it
will give some idea of the
amount of business this COM
pany will doubtless do.
The cleaners are at present
being manufactured in Ash
land by George Rinehart and
shipped out from here, and it
is hoped the company will
find they can do business as
advantageously from Ashland
as from any other point, as
in a short time it will I'M
doubtedly develop into a
business of some magnitude.
