Summer Resorts on the Monon.

The summer resorts oh the Monon Route are more than-usually popular this year. West Baden and French Lick Springs, in Orange County, are,overflowing with visitors, and the hotels have all they can do. Paoli, the county Seat, has opened a rival sanitarium, which 'is well patronized. The waters of the various springs differ materially in their constituents, and are successfully prescribed for a great variety of maladies. The woods in the neighborhood abound in game and all the streams teem with fish, some of them having been stocked by the government fish commission. All indications point to West* Baden (and the neighboring springs) ns thej great- sanitnriiHii and popular summer resort of the West. Cedar Lake, forty miles from Chicago, is a favoi-ite picnic and outing spot, where the Monon has n fine wooded park of nearly 400 acres. The fishing is firstrate.
