OLDEST OF EARTH'S CITIES

Damascus Has Seen the Rise and Fail feof Races Which Are Mere Shadowe In History. What times and changes such a place as Damascus has seen, what waves of peoples, what rise and fall of kings, what increase and collapse of greatnSbs, what kaleidoscopic history! What the autochthonous population of the place was is a point probably past historic decision. The earliest records find in control a race Indefinitely related to the Mesopotamians. Then the march of races and peoples begins, and the rise. and fall of conquerors. Hittites, Amorltes, Suti, Khabiri, Jews, Assyrians, Cimmerians,’ Egyptians,' Armenians, Arabs, Persians, Macedonians, Parthians, Romans, Seleucids, the Omayyads, the Abbassides, Mongols, Tartars, modern Egypt teas, Ottomans, and the English, have swept through this oldest dwelling place of gregarious humanity, and still it flourishes, to this day as populous as such places as Kansas Qty or Denver or Indianapolis, Louisville, . St. Paul, or Rochester, and relatively far more important.

Merits of October Ale.

Not the fluid of that name, but the elixir that is In this golden October sunshine. Influenza germs are deadly afraid of clear, cool, snappy sunshine. The whole outdoors is full of it, and W Invitation to enjoy it is so urgent and cordial that the man or woman who refuseq to accept it is only adding to the risk that the doctors declare everybody is assuming these epidemic days/ Nature Is trying to add compensation for the anxieties attendant upon contagious disease. In her cornucopia she has stored remedies that are not only Effective but pleasant to take. Get out of doors into the October sunshine that has been and will be pouring its curative and stimulating forces over the country. The walking is fine and the landscape never more varied and beautiful. The forests are garbed In brown, purple and gold. The silences are eloquent with the'slumber song of nature. The air Is a tonic for tired,, taut nerves and bodies. Get out of doors and shake off the fears as well as the germs of Influenza. —Pittsburgh Gazette-Times.

Old Valenciennes.

"The town of lace,” wrote William of Orange to the Estates on the 18th of April. 1677, “Is lost to us. We are very sorry to be obliged to tell your high mightinesses that It has not pleased God to bless on this occasion the aims of the state under our guidance.” But lace is no longer made In Valenciennes, the capital of an arrondissement In the department of the Nord, and a fortress of the second class. But It is nevertheless a quaint town, with sufficient seventeenth century houses to give it a medieval appearance. The handsome Hotel de Ville is also largely seventeenth century work, and before the war contained a large Collection of tapestries and of paintings, especially of the Flemish school. The city also possessed an academy of sculpture and painting, a museum of natural hl* tory, a lycee and an arsenal. : 2 - X*
