to the beautiful City Park. where
are the magnificent spreading oaks,
among them the famous Three Sis
ters"-the dueling oaks where
many noted ard sanguinary encount-
ers took place in olden days and
even in recent years.
Beyond the park are the strange
and beautiful cities of the dead,
where all the graves are above the
ground. as, indeed, are all the
graves in New Orleans. This is due
to the moist nature of the soil. In
the Metaire Cemetery, at the end of
Canal street, some of the handsom-
est mausoleums and stately sepulch-
raj monuments in the world are to
be found. st. Rocks Cemetery and
Chapel are far down and to the
back of town. 1t is to this shrine
that Creole girls come to hunt for
the four-leaved clovers with red
hearts in their centers, and to pray
for good husbands.
One of the queer places which Wis
itors usually peer into is at the cor
ner Of Bourbon and Bienville streets.
1t was built in 1852 and since 1926
has been known as the Old Absinthe
House, established by the forebears
of those who now concoct the de-
licious but insidlous beverage-ab-
sinthe anisette. LATTE made his
idling place there when it was a
cabaret.
At the corner of Royal and st.
Louis streets stands today the st.
Louis Hotel, tall and picturesque
ruin. 1t was built and furnished
In 1S41, at cost of nearly $1,000
600 and in ante-bcllum days was
the scene of many mystic carnival
balls. In a gloomy corner on the
ground floor is the old slave block,
where blacks were knocked down to
the highest bidder, and the big, cir
cular dining room-S0 feet in diam
eter and over 100 feet from pit to
dome-is an architectural curiosity.
To the rear of the old hotel, at
the corner of st. Louis and Charities
streets, is the house that was built
for the express purpose of becoming
the American home of Napoleon
Bonaparte. In the year 1921 a plot
was laid among the French patriots
at New Orleans to form an expedi-
ton for the rescue of the prisoner
of st. Helena, but on reaching the
mouth Of the river an inbound
merchantmen brought news of the
death of the great general, on May
9TH of that year, so the expedition
was abandoned.
Famed for her cooking as New
Orleans is, there is no place more
famous at hcme and abroad than
Begne's, and an IL o'clock break
fast there IS a feature OF visit to
the city. But one meal Is served
each day. and it is necessary to re-
serve tables several days in advance
in order to be accommodated.
No visit to New Orleans is COM
plete without an early morning trip
through the old French market, and
between the hours of and 10
O'Clock the long, low sheds, support
ed on thick, rusty pillars of mason
ny, form a colonnade through which
pass men, women and children of
all colors, nationalities and social
degrees, buying and selling the fresh
fruits and vegetables, fish, crabs and

Hay Goes for Big Prices.

The farm sale OF M. Kennison,
held near Burchinal last week,
proved that hay is going some as to
price and is keeping pace with seed
corn. A stack of hay on the farm

went for $3.50 per bushel.

CINE, which he proposes to make the
highest powered ever put into an aero

Surgeon General Wyman Of the marine

Are you going to buy tame or wild
rabbits!" the surgeon general was asked
Either will do was the reply.
How many rabbits do you use in the
course OF year," was the next question.
"Oh, can't tell You that" he replied.

1act that the of1cials OF the Treasury

to buy full-grown rabbits at 15 cents
apiece for experimental and other uses
In the hygienic laboratory of the serv.

Seventy-hve cents is considered a pretty
good price for rabbits. but IL must be

These rabbits are not for vivfsection
purposes, went on DR.. Wyman, when

work and for the making of anti-rabic
virus. a most important product in our
affairs

Alleged Military Activity on the
Ecuadorean Frontier.

There has been a recrudescence of
rumors of Peruvian military activity on
the Ecuadorean frontier, but the officials
OF the State Department do not believe
that any such activity exists with the
knowledge or sanction of the Peruvian
government. Peru. like the government
of Ecuador is definitely known to have
been scrupulously observant Of the first
condition of the acceptance of the media
ton, that is, the withdrawal of forces,

simultaneous and equivalent on both
sides.
