A Poor Bath.

A Frenchman was talking in New York about the excellent bathing beaches of America.
 There are no such beaches in Eu- rope" said he. And the sea over there is not so pleasant to bathe in. Frequently, you know. great pipes empty sewage into it. They who stay late for the bathing in Nice, for in- stance, swim about among lemon peel, orange skins, melon rinds, soaked but still buoyant newspapers-fearful rub bish. I once bathed in Nice. The Med iterranean was warm and pleasant, but 1t resembled soup or something worse. I heard an American after coming out say to the bathing master:
 "Look here, friend. where do stran- gers go for a wash after bathing hereY"

How We Fall Asleep.

It is not generally known that the body falls asleep in sections. The mus cles of the legs and arms lose their power long before those which SUD- port the head and these last sooner than the muscles which sustain the back. The sense of sight sleeps first, then the sense of taste, next the sense of smell. next that of hearing and last ly that of touch. These are the results of careful and lengthy investigation by French scientist, M. Cabanis.

Now, this point alone was sufficient
to cause the downfall of Alexis; for
the army. collection OF pitiable
scarecrows. ununiformed and badly
equipped, had little hopes of getting
salaries when the head Of the govern
ment was so "parsimonious." The
manner Of paying Off the men pre-
cluded anything coming to them; for
when pay day comes. the money goes
from general to general. each trans.
mitter whiting off little for him
self. BY the time 1t reaches the pri-
vate. acute evaporation has taken
place. And considering that for years
there have been almost as many gen.
erals In the army as privates, the un-
lucky underlings get no chance.
Then, the southern part OF the re.
public was against him on general
principles. His very name suggests that
they could never love him. Gen. An
tome Simon. who conducted the oper-
auons against him. was the vigorous
ruler OF the south; and when Alexis
saw that he could not hang on much
longer. he proposed that the general
OF the northern department, Giles.
one OF his own men. should succeed
him. The fighting was really on that
point.
In appearance, during his last years
Alexis was at least striking. Forty
years ago he must have been mighty
wafrior over six feet I'm height. and
powerful In build. His features are
those OF a central African. his color
coal black.

you should always remember that
most cough and cold cures are consti-
pating. Yet the most important thing
TO do when you have a cold Is to move
the bowels. You cannot promptly
cure cold until you do this. Ken
nedy's Laxative Cough Syrup stops the
cough by allaying inflammation of the
throat and lungs, and it drives the
cold from the system by gently NOV
ing the bowels. Children like il for II

In 1903 Alexis granted them amnesty
and they returned. He had double

items concerning the enforcement OF
this order, is acknowledged. The
subject of the enforcement OF this
order and al, the questions raised by
you are now under consideration By
the Bureau ci Fisheries. The De-
partment will undoubtedly have one
or more representatives on Wood

assurance is given you that the neces-

that the order be obeyed by all par

Democratic National Convention.
Ample accommodations will be pro-
yided for the delegates and alternates
and special attention will be given to

that the ordinary voice pitched to

management to place the building in
gala attire in June in honor OF the
FIRST convention held within its walls.
The building was projected several
years ago by the City of Denver and

Denver as their meeting place every
year, making it imperative that a
spacious assembly hall be provided
for their reception.
