THE SKYLARK'S SONG AN ASTONISHING FEAT FROM MANY POINTS OF VIEW. Not Alone Is It a Wonder of Melody, Tone and Quality, but Its Volume Is Astounding and Its Circumstance of Utterance a Physical Marvel. For its music alone the song of the lark is almost the most melodious of any bird's. The tone and quality are admirable and the volume of sound astonishing. It can be heard clearly when the lark has mounted, as it sometimes does, beyond recognition by normal eyesight. The volume of sound is also most noticeable when a caged lark is heard, singing as it does far nearer to the hearer than the bird in the sky. But apart from the quality and music of the song the circumstances in which it is uttered render it an astonishing feat. Every other considerable songster is quite aware that singing entails much physical effort. Consequently it takes care to secure a good platform to sing from. A thrush or a blackbird or a robin nearly always selects a top shoot or projecting bough, preferably a dead one, on which it sits and sings, never moving its position, and without any objects round it to hinder the carry of its voice. The blackcap and nightingale and some of the warblers sit in a bush to sing, but the whitetmoth and even the hedge sparrow choose the topmost twig. The whitetmoth sometimes sings when descending, and some of the pipits and the woodlark do the same, the meadow pipit risinging a feeble little song as it makes a short ascent and descent. But to the strain on its lungs of long protracted song the lark adds the great muscular exertion of a steady upward flight, usually carried out not by scaling the air in gentle circles, as in the soaring of the larger birds, but by a vertical climb made by the incessant beating of its wings. Worldwide recognition of it as the Type of the wise who soar, but never roam. True to the kindred points of heaven and home, is often almost literally correct. After two or three spirals the bird goes up almost as if it were drawn heavenward by a cord, and then, closing its wings, descends like a falling stone to the A PARISIAN BEAUTY. MME. TALLIEN, WHO, IT IS ASSERTED, SNUBBED NAPOLEON. A Woman Whose Entrancing Lovelliness Bazzled Even the Women of the French Capital—The Mild and Inoffensive Young Bonaparte. During the directoire Marie de' Medici's palace became the center of government and Barras reigned there under the inspiration of Mme. Tallien. It was she who organized all the fetes and ceremonies which enlivened Paris after the Terror. In 1796 the beautiful Spanishard was twenty-three and had already had an eventful past. The daughter of a financier named Cabarrus, she had married at the age of sixteen the Marquis de Fontenay, been divorced from him in 1793 and had remarried, a few months after, Tallien, the conventionnel. Arrested May 22, 1794, she was imprisoned in Les Carmes, and it was from here that she wrote the stinging epistles to her husband which induced that wavering spirit to dare all in the attempt to set her free. Armed with a dagger in case of failure and all the courage he could muster, Tallien on the famous 9th Thermidor attacked Robespierre in a debate which brought about the fall of the "sea green monster." The reign of terror came to an end, the prisons disgorged their victims, and Mme. Tallien received from the people the title of Notre Dame de Thermidor. The world was at her feet, and she dazzled it by her beauty and her charm, her lovers and her luxury. Even women forgot to be jealous and acknowledged what all men proclaimed. The following description is from the pen of one of her own sex, Mme. de Chaste may: "Mme. Tallien came every day to visit Barras. I do not think it possible to be loveller than this woman was then. I shall always see her like a fairy queen among the rest, her beautiful black hair colled simply on her head without any ornament, round her neck a single string of large pearls. She wore a white underdress and tunic of ink crepe, and, sitting on the ground playing with a child of three, the son of one of Barras' friends, they made a group which no classic sculpture could surpass." Barras tells us with great naivete, in his insignia that the "Little Corsican" Grease plays an important part meant play in the diet. In old people of the upper class seasoned roasts and steaks three times every day. Are stuffed with raisins, brown gravy is poured Grease seems more indishe them than to the fur enklimos. There are no bread but in their place one is a half raw piece of tendering with grease and peculiar herbs.

Wordsworth's recognition of it as the Type of the wise who soar, but never roam. True to the kindred points of heaven and home. is often almost literally correct. After two or three spirals the bird goes up almost as if it were drawn heavemard by a cord, and then, closing its wings, descends like a falling stone to the very point from which it rose. The strain upon the muscles and the strings would be great if during all this time it were silent. But it chooses to add to the exertion of soaring that of gourning forth a continuous flood of sweet notes with no intermissions or breaks whatever. A lark will soar and sing during a space of ten minutes consecutively. The rapidity with which the pectoral muscles are working during this period may be judged from the fact that the bird makes not less than from five to six beats of the wing per second. The beats are usually in sets of from three to five, the bird pausing for a moment as if to take a fresh start after the interval. When chased by the merlin falcon, skylarks make their finest exhibitions of flight, ascending into the air to heights which have been estimated as being not less than a thousand feet. Sometimes the bird uses the same means of ascent as when it is soaring and singing, rising vertically by incessant beats of the wing. In the language of the falconer, these are termed "mounting" larks, and their object is to outfly the hawk directly, shaking off its pursuit during the ascent. Others prefer to rise by flying in a spiral, which the falcon imitates. Mr. E. B. Michel, in his volume on "The Art and Practice of Hawking," says: "The one bird may be circling from right to left and the other from left to right, and neither seems to guide the direction of its rings by any reference to those which the other is making. It is now a struggle to see which can get up fastest, and it is astonishing to see what a height such flights will sometimes reach. As soon as a lark is 800 feet high it can drop, almost like a stone, into any cover within a radius of 200 yards from the spot just under it, allowance being made for the effect of the wind. But 800 feet is not high for a ringing flight; at least there is nothing unusual about it. A lark does not go out of sight until it is much above that height, and it is no extraordinary thing for it to do this." The lark seldom sings late in the day. It can be tempted to rise in a burst of melody for one final ascent if the evening sun breaks through the clouds after rain, but as a rule it is silent long before the sun has descended into the western bed of cloud. We have Milton's authority that it is up and in song before dawn. But those who have heard the lark begin its flight. And singing startle the dull night are not easily found, though in the height of the pairing time it may very possibly be beforehand with aurora in greeting its mate. But as a rule the lark sings at sunrise or the ortolan Mme. Talien came every day to visit Barras. I do not think it possible to be loveller than this woman was then.

Barras tells us with great naivete, in his memoirs, that the "Little Corsican" only turned his attention to Josephine Beauharnais after a fruitless attempt to obtain favor with Mme. Talien and that this lady had treated him with great disdain, telling him "she could do better for herself." This account of the affair coming from any other quarter would be more credible. A considerable event was now to take place at the Luxembourg—namely, the reception given to General Bonaparte after the campaign of Italy. For this ceremony (Dec. 10, 1797) the court-yard of the palace was transformed into a sort of temple, and an altar to la Patrie erected in the grand entrance hall. The five directors, with Barras at their head, attired themselves as Romans, while Talleyrand, the minister of foreign affairs, was prepared with an elaborate barangue. The scene was made additionally brilliant by the presence of many ladies, whose splendid jewels and rich dresses did honor to the occasion, while their eager faces and murmured admiration betrayed their interest in the young hero. Among these groups not the least noticeable were Mme. de Stael and Mme. Recamier—"Wit and Beauty," as Napoleon himself named them. Alone of all the assembly the future emperor had assumed no imposing costume. His uniform, that of a general of Revolution, suggested a character of republian simplicity, while his palor, his gravity and quiet demeanor seemed to deprecate the ceremony of which he was the object. The tone of his speech was equally modest, his theme the pride he felt in his country's scientific conquests and her progress in the paths of peace.

It can be tempted to rise in a burst of melody for one final ascent if the evening sun breaks through the clouds after rain, but as a rule it is silent long before the sun has descended into the western bed of cloud. We have Milton's authority that it is up and in song before dawn. But those who have heard the lark begin its flight and singing startle the dull night are not easily found, though in the height of the pairing time it may very possibly be beforehand with aurora in greeting its mate. But as a rule the lark sings at sunrise, as the ortolan cats. Darkness depresses it and keeps it mute, but a gleam of sun is the signal for it to ascend. Obviously rain would make it most difficult for it to soar, both by adding to the weight of a body from the moisture caught in the feathers and by wetting the webs of the pinions, so the lark only soars in the dry as a rule. It is one of the most sensitive and best of nature's weather gauges, for when the larks begin to sing it is almost certain that rain has ceased for some time, if not for the day. It is the cock lark which sings. William Cobbett noted that one was just soaring and beginning to sing when the hen flew up and evidently told him to stop, for she fetched him down again—"an instance," says Cobbett, "of that petticoat government which is universal."—London Standard.

DAME JULIANA BERNER. She Was a Fifteenth Century Authority on Fly Fishing. The first printed English book on angling was Dame Juliana Berner's "Book of St. Albans," which appeared about 1450, and contained a chapter entitled "A Treatyse on Fyshynnge With an Angle." Fly fishing must have been practiced much earlier than this, as nothing but a gradual evolution could account for the complete list of files for the fishing months of the year which it gives. To Dame Berner belongs the honor of first telling that the salmon could be caught with the fly. She says: "Also ye may take hym, but it is seldom seen with a dubbe at such times as when he lepith in lyke fourme and manere as ye do a trought or a grailing." Her knowledge seems more complete than could have been that of the original inventor, so that the time when fly fishing originated in British waters must remain uncertain. Dame Berner's flies will kill trout today, and her twelve were the foundation of those of which Izaak Walton said quaintly in 1653: "Thus have you a jury of flies, likely to betray and condemn all the trouts in the river." LOGGERHEADS. This Name Is Given to Some Turtles and Other Animals. The giant turtles which are found along the Atlantic coast and frequently in southern waters in great numbers are known as loggerheads. They commonly attain a weight of 1,600 pounds, are rapid swimmers and are often seen far from land, floating asleep upon the waves. Carnivorous by nature these huge tortoises feed on crabs and fish, especially on a large species of conch, which they break open with their massive jaws. The flesh of this terrapin is leathery and oily, with a strong smell of musk. Young specimens are more palatable and are often on sale in the markets. A duck, as large as our goose, which is native of the shores of Tierra del Fuego and the Falkland isles is also called loggerhead, from its seeming stupidity and helplessness. In the West Indies this name is also given to two or three sorts of fly catchers. Gazette for Job Printing. WHAT MORE IMPORTANT THINGS THEIR RICH DIShes. The further south one goes more important part meat sees play in the diet. In old Mexico people of the upper class have seasoned roasts and steaks and three times every day. The rice are stuffed with raisins, and a brown gravy is poured over them. Grease seems more indispensable them than to the fur enveloped Eskimos. There are no broiled steaks but in their place one is served with a half raw piece of tenderloin reeled with grease and peculiarly flavored herbs. In that balmy clime, where the system would be so much better off without any meats, thousands of steaks are sold daily at 45 and 50 cents a pound. The poorer classes are forced to abstain from such and live on the coarse frijole beans and cold clammy tortillas, which are thin white corn cakes made from rye hominy crushed to a pulp. This forms their unvaried diet. On the aristocrats' tables are the most delicious fruits, chiramoyas, sipotes, mangoes and others which Americans have never tasted. The popular aguacate is a cross between a fruit and a nut. It is a dark green and the flesh is about the consistency of ointment. It grows on a tree of unparalleled dark green foliage and is used often in the place of butter or is made into a toothsome salad. Rich soups, with bananas chopped in them, are served every day, and vegetables dressed with goat's cream are on their tables. At every meal during the year they eat the frijole beans, which have been dipped into a brown pottery bowl of boiling lard before they are brought to the table. The Mexicans eat enough lard to undermine the digestion of the stoutest being. Sirup is a great delicacy and very expensive. It is served as a sort of dessert in little china saucers and is eaten from spoons. Little bits of native candies are also served in separate plates.—Farm and Ranch. KEROSENE OIL.

Action was so rapid from the instant the condemned appeared in the doorway of the prison to the moment the knife fell that it was almost impossible to distinguish the slight chain of incidents. He flung himself eagerly against the plank, was strapped to it, and in the flash of a glance the plank was pusified forward on the platform of the guillotine. An instant's vision of a recumbent figure, face downward. In the same moment a head, with two starling, wide open eyes, whirled almost defiantly, as it seemed, and with a slight zigzag movement, to the right-ward, while simultaneously the pinoned body rolled, inert, convulsive, into the capacious basket, also at the right-hand side of the guillotine. The swiftness, the mechanical promptness of the business, fairly stupened the spectator. It was impossible to realize that a human life had ended in less time than it would take to draw a full breath. The guillotine had done its work well. There was scarcely a sense of horror in the sight.—London Standard. Place and Price In New York. Prices on Broadway and on Nassau street are notoriously at variance, but the value sometimes placed on a well known business name is even more pretentious. Jones has a watch that was carried by his father—a costly gold timepiece that in its prime was one to be proud of. The other day he decided to have it "restored," and naturally took it to a well-known Broadway store. "I'll have to look it over," the clerk told Jones when the latter modestly asked the cost of putting the watch in good running order. "Leave it and come back tomorrow." Jones did so, and caught his breath as the clerk remarked that it would cost exactly $28.50 for repairs. Then he took his watch and fled. At noon on the same day he took his watch to a little shop on Nassau street. "It just needs a new mainspring and a cleaning," he was told. "That'll cost you $2.50."—New York Post. Some of Swift's Sarcasm. Swift's "Rules and Directions For Servants" are quoted in What to Eat as an evidence that the servant of the seventeen century did not differ materially from the modern American article. Among these rules are the following: KANGAROO HUNTING. A Dangerous Sport In Which Thick Breastplates Are Worn. Tiger skins, elephant tusks, antlers and a dozen other trophies decorated the smoking room of the huntsman. "You can't guess what this is," he said, and he took down from the wall a piece of curiously woven matting. It was about two feet square, green in color and five inches thick. “This,” he explained, “is the breastplate that is worn in kangaroo hunting. Without it the kangaroo with a foreleg bawl would smash in your chest as though it were a pasteboard box. This breastplate is a souvenir of an exciting kangaroo hunt in Australia. "Yet this is an exciting and dangerous sport. The kangaroo when he is brought to bay will fight. He jumps straight at you, like a great cat, and with his small fore legs he aims at your chest two tremendous blows—first right and then left—and these blows, with a speed and an accuracy that no prizefighter could equal, would kill you if they landed on an unprotected surface. So you wear, for protection, this thick green guard, woven of native grasses by native women. "You hunt the kangaroo in 'sets.' Eight huntsmen compose a set, and each set employs half a dozen native runners to stalk the kangaroo. "The kangaroo, on being stalked, comes tearing over the plain straight at you. He travels with the speed of an express train, and he makes great bounding leaps. One minute he is crouched on the grass, the next he is ten feet up in the air, and all the while, remember, he is going forty miles an hour. "Hence he is a mighty difficult object to shoot.

A few drops added to your boiled starch will make ironing easier. Dip the fingers in the oil and rub the throat to give relief from sore throat. Saturate a cloth in the oil and rub the rollers to clean a clothes wringer quickly. A few drops added to the water with which windows are to be washed will save time and labor. A few drops on a hinge or roller which has formed a bad habit of squeaking will insure a speedy cure. One tablespoonful added to each ballerel of water will lessen labor as well as whiten your clothes when washing. A few drops on your dusting cloth will brighten your furniture as well as prevent dust from flying from the cloth. Saturate a cloth with the oil to clean the sink, bathtub or basin which has become greasy and discolored from use.—Woman's Home Companion. Tailor Takes the Artist to Task. A well formed, good looking man, rightly wearing such clothes as any high class tailor would make for him, would compare favorably with any Greek of old, togged in his best. But neither sculptor nor painter can make so pleasing a representation of the man in close fitting clothes as he can of the man in flowing robes, not because the clothes are unhandsome, nor because they are unbecoming to the wearer, but because the artist presumptuously thinks the tailor who made the clothes did not know his business, and does not think it worth while even to try to represent them as they are. As he generally represents them on canvas or in stone they look as little like the sartorial things of beauty they are as a pallid corpse looks like a living human being.—Sartorial Art Journal. New Britain Currency. Dewarra, a currency of New Britain, is an instance of how the spoils of the chase may be turned to account as the outward and visible sign of wealth. Dewarra is made by stringing the shells of a dog whelk upon the ribs of palm leaves. These strings may be retailed at so much a fathom—usually the price is equivalent to about three shillings a fathom length—or they may be made into various articles of personal adornment to be worn on great occasions. In New Britain the dewarra boarded up by a rich man is produced at his funeral and divided among his heirs in much the same kind of way as personal property is divided among us. The Rite of the Snake. In Val di Rosa, Italy, the serpent is a traditional terror, and the place is celebrated for a cious religious custom known as the rite of the snake.

Then he took his watch and fled. At noon on the same day he took his watch to a little shop on Nassau street. "It just needs a new mainspring and a cleaning," he was told. "That'll cost you $2.50."—New York Post. Some of Swift's Sarcasm. Swift's "Rules and Directions For Servants" are quoted in What to Eat as an evidence that the servant of the seventeenth century did not differ materially from the modern American article. Among these rules are the following: "Scrape the bottom of your pots with a silver spoon, for fear of giving them a taste of copper." "Write your name and your sweetheart's with the smoke of a candle on the roof of the kitchen to show your learning." "Whoever comes to call on your master or mistress when they are abroad never burden your memory with the person's name, for, indeed, you have too many other things to remember." "When you cut bread for toast do not stand idly watching, but lay it on the coals and mind your other business." Shakespeare's Greatness. "The more I read Shakespeare," said Keats, "the more I find in him all that I need." It has been said of Wagner that his greatness was due to the fact that he knew no Latin. Perhaps Shakespeare's "little Latin and small Greek" also saved him from a sterilizing bondage to dead classes. However that may be, his genius transcended all schools and all the limitations of coteries. He is our supreme national asset. If we were asked the question whether we would be without India or Shakespeare, is there one true Englishman who would not say, with Carlyle, "India or no India, we cannot give up our Shakespeare?"—London News. Black Snakes. It is true that the raftlesnake and the black snake are mortal enemies, and the black snake is the victor in their battles, breaking the neck of his adversary before the rattler has time to strike. The black snakes of this country are as harmless as frogs. On many of the large plantations in the south they are tamed and kept as a protection from their enemy, as the warm climate prevents keeping the houses closed so as to keep them out. Humoring a Lunatic. Some years ago a very wealthy man in England got it into his head that he had lost all his money. To pacify him his sons told him that they had saved the remnants of the estate and were able to offer him employment as a clerk. At $7.50 a week he worked as happy as a prince for the last twenty years of his life. When he died his estate amounted to nearly $15,000,000. Two Effects. Mr. C.—What are you crying about, my dear?

Talk about a rut all you please, some men are never any good out of one. The second time a man calls on a clever girl she tells him she knows his step. Youth deals in fancy; age, in facts. All false teeth are made to look too young. Before saying that you think forty is old remember there may be some present who is at least forty-one. You are getting old when people begin to say that you have money hidden around somewhere. They never accuse the young of hiding money. There is a saying “Get busy.” It applies to idle, shiftless men. But there should also be a saying “Get lazy.” It would apply with force to some men who work too much.—Atchison Globe. A Legal Puzzler. Curious comments by a judge, even in the presence of the prisoner, though extremely rare, are not unprecedented. Mr. Justice Maule once addressed a phenomenon of innocence in a smock frock in the following words: "Prisoner at the bar, your counsel thinks you innocent; the counsel for the prosecution thinks you innocent; I think you innocent. But a jury of your own countrymen, in the exercise of such common sense as they possess, which does not seem to be much, have found you guilty, and it remains that I shall pass upon you the sentence of the law. That sentence is that you be kept in imprisonment for one day, and as that day was yesterday you may now go about your business." The unfortunate rustic, rather scared, went about his business, but thought law was an uncommonly puzzling business.—London Tit-Bits. The Yankee as Europe Knows Him. "I was greatly amused," said a merchant who has lately made a visit abroad. "to notice how the term Yankee widens in application as one gets farther away from the habitat of the real thing." "I met a very intelligent hotel keeper at Berne, in Switzerland, and in the course of conversation he remarked that he had an extremely agreeable countryman of mine staying at his house the previous season." "As you are both Yankees, you may chance know him,' he said. "Where does he live?' I asked. "In Buenos Ayres,' replied the hotel keeper."—New York Press. Willing but Hampered.

Isn't it singular how much heroism is displayed by men in the discharge of a dangerous duty and how much cowardice by those who run into danger in the pursuit of pleasure?—Pittsburgh Inquirer. A Modern Antique. A story which Mr. Davenport told of Pistrucci has its point for collectors. Pistrucci was an Italian and chief engraver at the mint. It is, by the way, to him that England is indebted for the fine group of St. George and the dragon on the reverse of the sovereign. He insisted that modern work in cameo could be quite as fine as ancient work. A "potboller" head of Plora which he engraved and sold to a dealer for £5 was afterward sold as an antique to Richard Payne Knight for £500. Knight took the cameo in triumph to Pistrucci. "Where can you get modern work like that?" he asked. Pistrucci smiled and claimed the antique for his own. Knight would not believe him. "Examine the roses," said the artist, "and you will see that they are modern flowers." The point was admitted by others, but never by Knight, who bequeathed the gem and the rest of his collection to the nation. Mr. Davenport said that but for the roses an expert would undoubtedly pronounce Pistrucci's cameo a fine antique. MRS. CECELIA STOWE, Orator, Entre Nous Club. 176 Warren Avenue, CHICAGO, IL., Oct. 22, 1902. For nearly four years I suffered from ovarian troubles. The doctor insisted on an operation as the only way to get well. I, however, strongly objected to an operation. My husband felt disheartened as well as I, for home with a sick woman is a disconsolate place at best. A friendly druggist advised him to get a bottle of Wine of Cardui for me to try, and he did so. I began to improve in a few days and my recovery was very rapid. Within eighteen weeks I was another being. Cherita Stowe Mrs. Stowe's letter shows every woman how a home is saddened by female weakness and how completely Wine of Cardui curds that sickness and brings health and happiness again. Do not go on suffering. Go to your druggist today and secure a $1.00 bottle of Wine of Cardui.

The City of Anaheim, with a population of 2500, is situated in the northern part of Orange county, in Southern California, 12 miles from the ocean, 4½ miles from the foothills, and 148½ feet above sea level. It is 27 miles from Los Angeles, the second largest city in the State of California. The climatic conditions are the most favorable for out-door life to be found in Southern California. The temperature is extremely uniform, seldom rising above 90 degrees in summer, or falling below 32 degrees in winter. The abundance of sunlight and the absence of sharp frosts and cold winds make it a place especially acceptable to those desiring to escape the severe climate of the east. The country is very attractive. It is practically level, with just sufficient slope from the hills to afford adequate drainage. The roads are level, well graded, and well kept, affording excellent opportunities for cycling and driving. The soil is a rich sandy loam which never bakes, making it a very easy ground to work; thus lending itself readily to the cultivation of berries, nuts, oranges, etc. The variety of products, and the possibility of procuring small tracts of land at low figures, and on easy terms, make our section of the county very attractive and advantageous for truck raising, or for farming on a small scale. The following are a few of the products: oranges, lemons, walnuts, grapes, peaches, apricots, sugar beets, berries and vegetables of all kinds. Anaheim is the possessor of a Building and Loan Association, Water company, two railroads, fruit cannery and drier, large oil industry, ostrich farm, bank, several adequate Ten acre lots to colony tracts, with an abundance of pure water piped on land.

The census bureau has issued a bulletin on agriculture in California which we quote from extensively in another part of this issue. One of the interesting features of the report is the paragraph giving the number of farms and acres of farming lands in the five Southern California counties. The pre-eminence of Orange county is apparent: Counties. No. farms. Acres. Los Angeles... 6777 298,063 Orange... 2388 569,436 Riverside... 2340 427,067 San Bernardino... 2350 219,132 San Diego... 2098 809,419 But it is in the acreage of irrigated lands that Orange county takes easy precedence over the other counties of Southern California: Counties. Acres. Los Angeles... 85,644 Orange... 41,049 Riverside... 32,947 San Bernardino... 37,877 San Diego... 16,022 The area of Orange county is 780 square miles; that of Los Angeles, 3880; that of Riverside, 7008; that of San Bernardino, 20,055, and that of San Diego, 8400 square miles. Orange county thus contains one-fifth the area of Los Angeles; yet its irrigated lands approach in area to one-half those of its neighbor to the north. Riverside embraces nine times its area, yet it irrigates 9,000 more acres or a fourth more than the belauded county on the east. San Bernardino is 25 times its size, yet its irrigated acres exceed those of this jumbo county by nearly 4,000, approximately ten per cent. San Diego is eleven times its size, yet it irrigates 25,000 acres more than the county on the south—300 per cent is the former's irrigated area as compared with that of the latter—almost the irrigated area of San Diego and Riverside combined. Orange county possesses the finest system of irrigation, the most secure water rights, that exist in Southern California. That is what we have said many a time and oft. These figures prove it. It is the handsomest and most productive county that lies outdoors and is settling up faster than any other in the State. PALACE LIVERY Hahn, Prop.
