An Offhand Diagnosis.
A humorous variation of the formid
able parent who figures In popular
fiction comes from the Philadelphia
Public Ledger. It was evening and
while the young man was waiting for
the girl of his choice he made desper
ate attempts at conversation with the
girl’s father.
“What do you think of the outdoor
treatment of diseasG?” he asked, rath
er wildly.
“Well,” the old gentleman
blandly responded, "for the sort you
have, the outdoor treatment might he
gll right in summer, but at this sea
son a quiet parlor is better.”

WOMEN SUFFER
Many women suffer in silence and
drift along from bad to worse, know
ing well that they ought to have
immediate assistance.
iiow many women do you know
who are perfectly well and strong?
Thecause may be easily traced to
some feminine derangement which
manifests itself in depression of
spirits, reluctance to go anywhere
or do anything, backache, dragging
sensations, flatulency, nervousness,
and sleeplessness.
These symptoms are but warnings
that there is danger ahead, and un
less heeded, a life of suffering or a
serious operation is the inevitable
result. The best remedy for all
these symptoms is

Scenes in Desolated Jamaica.
With a population of sixty thou
sand and one of the finest harbors
In the world, Kingston, capital of
Jamaica, is the largest city as well
as the leading seaport of the British
West Indies. Founded in 1693, the
year after the destruction of Port
Royal, across the bay, it is on a plain

gradual ascent to the foot of the
Llguanca Mountains.
With stories of the Port Royal
earthquake always fresh in their
minds, residents of Kingston, espe
cially the negroes, who constitute
five-sixths of the population, have
predicted that some day Kingston
would meet the fate of the capital it
supplanted.
HARBOUR STREET, KINGSTON.
As recently as 1906 seers on the
tsland made the solemn prophecy that
within two years the city would be
swept into the sea. Despite these
forebodings, however, Kingston has
had a steady growth and improve-

since 1872, when the seat cf govern
ment was transferred from Spanish
Town, the latter place becoming the
capital after the destruction of Port
Royal. In 1692.
It is situated on the south coast
and on the north side of the harbor,
the latter being a land locked basin
available for the largest ships. It is
enclosed on the south by a long
tongue of land the extremity of which
is Port Royal. American visitors to
Kingston were not numerous until
the last few years, when special pas
senger service was instituted. Last
winter thousands of Americans, most
of them from New York, visited the
island, and this year the number
promises to be doubled.
Mercantile business In Kingston is
conducted largely by Scotchmen,
while the tobacco trade, which is ex
tensive, is carried on by natives. The
stores are large and very similar to
those to be found in an American
city of 60,000 persons. The two prin
cipal business streets are Harbour
and Port Royal, the former the home
of the retail shops and the latter of
the wholesale. Along the water front,
which is always the scene of keenest

during business hours is much

that negro women, barefooted and

carts, dart in and out of the maze of
traffic. The Myrtle Bank Hotel is the

Beautiful residences, all of stone
and brick of distinctly Spanish de
sign, some of them representing an
investment of as high as $50,000,
line the streets to the north of the
city. They are all shielded from the
street by high terraces which are
overhung with palms
Several men of wealth have costly
homes just on the outskirts of the
city, among them the Machado
Brothers, the largest tobacco dealers
in Jamaica. All of the streets are
macadamized or paved with blocks;
in fact, throughout the island the
roads are ideal, being continually
sprinkled with stone crushed by ne
groes in lieu of taxes.
About a mile back from the water
front is the home of the Governor of
the island, and in the very heart of
the city are the botanical gardens,
the chief show place of the city. Two
miles north of the foot Of Harbour
street, where passenger vessels land,
is the penitentiary, in which there are
always between 300 and 400 negroes.
There is a system of electric street
railways on which the service is as
good as can be found in any American
city; a water works system, a perfect
telephone system; in short, every
thing that is associated with an up
to date city.
