Women have demonstrated the necessity for mainill-fate- d taining a hospital on the grounds during fair week, and the board of managers therefore erected this new frame struotuse with four small rooms on each floor. There are numerous iron beds provided, an operating table and all other necessary arrangements, so that the hospital corps is better provided for than last year.

Cincinnati Commercial Tribune. Cretans In North Africa. Archaeologists sometimes stumble up on unexpected discoveries, and Mr. Hogarth, ta exploring the site of the ancient Cyrene, has come across a curious experiment in Turkish colonization. When Crete was finally evacuated by the troops of the Sultan, half a dozen years ago, the position of the Moslem Inhabitants became unbearable and a regular exodus ensued. One would have thought that there was ample room in Asia Minor for twice the population of Crete, but it appears that the resources of the Pamphyllan Plain were soon exhausted, and then the Sultan bethought him of the fertile coast of North Africa, known in classical times as the Cyrenaica. Hither, aca of the number cordingly, refugee families have been conveyed, and planted out under the protection of small detachments of Turkish soldiers, whose duty it Is to guard them from the neighboring Bedawi population. Though the colonists have been transported from the fertile lowlands of Crete, they have no cause to grumble; in spite of the neglect of centuries, the territory abounds in fresh springs and fertile meadows, the winds, from the Mediterranean blow soft and cool, ani husbandry is rewarded with an ample return. It is a curious rrustration of how history repeats itself that Cyrene was originally colonized by a band of Greek settlers from tbe Dorian island of Thera in 631 B. C. And now their successors, Greek also of the Dorian stock, are protected by Turkish soldiers from the descendants of those Libyans who fgrom time immemorial have peopled that part of the Mediterranean coast. Mr. Hogarth notes as a proof of tbe Industry of the new setn tlers that the most likely sites for treasure trove have been brought under cultivation by them, and sow of a truth is "Othello's occupation gone."

He was Jogging along In a .leisurely fashion when he felt a tug on the line as if he had fouled ft Russian warship. Tbe Judge stopped rowing unhesitatingly and grabbed the line.
