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.” MISS JULIE FLORENCE WALSH Lydia E.

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 (At 4* f O7) HABITAT. “Papa, what place do the most ei l pensive furs come from?” •<Wall Street, my boy.”— 'Life. TERRIBLE TO RECALL.

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 ftrhich rises from the shore with a GORDON TOWN, IN THE BL UE MOUNTAINS OF JAMAICA. 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- " 1 " McryrT£<3o 'Mila'S /MTnS/ vTTT ff? yy “ * & Jthir J $ MAP OF THE ISLAND OF JAMAICA. ments finished a year ago made it in nearly every respect the equal of American and European cities. It has been the capital of the island ■' w ipimp mmmm mm-: ’■*■£ ' , ' V ; '*s* ROCK FORT ROAD, NEAR KINGS TON. 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 L " . ; '... >, ' '- s; V : --'k . ■" \s- f“ i> ‘ "-iv • .|,■ fe _• k' PANORAMA OF PORT ANTONIO— EAST HARBOR. activity, there are enormous tobacco and fruit warehouses. I Measured by American standard®! none of the buildings is of gant design. The public luilding* are low, are built of stone and brlcM?* and the business blocks are of brlcMC and never more than three stories f lt * height. Business centres are at tfhe Intersection of Harbour and Royal streets, and the scene theiw* during business hours is much same as in any American city, except that negro women, barefooted and with packs on their heads, and bare legged negro boys, shoving fruit carts, dart in and out of the maze of traffic. The Myrtle Bank Hotel is the largest hotel in Kingston and many Americans stay there. There are MARKET WOMEN OF JAMAICA. several boarding houses and a f evr cheap hotels near the wharves. 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.
