Once a place of much political import- ance, it still holds a good place in mana- factures, embracing silk and cotton threads and cloths, potteries, chemicals, trade in honey, wax, grain, fruit, truflies and cattle, rivaling in extent that of its larger neighbor, Orange, in spite of the more advantageous situation of the latter. The city, bullt in a fertile valley, is watered the Auzon River, which at the same time furnishes fine water power for its factories, and is overlooked by Mount Vintoux, on which was established some years ago one of the principal sig- nal stations and observatories in the th of France. All of which, besides its | rical associations, tend to make 1t & place of interest and enjoyment to the weary man who there seeks shelter and It is one of the oldest cities in all of France. Its origin and the time of its | foundation are not definitely known. | Before the conguest of Gaul by Julius | Caesar there existed on the site of the present city anol called Carpentoractc, | Df which Pliny speaks under the name of “Memini.” In the course of time a Foman colony grew up around the old| Gallic town, as a nucleus, which took the | name of Farum Meonis and in time be- | came one of the richest and most import- | ant places in all southern Gaul. 1t was then taken and ravaged by the | ing the time of the decadence and final | dissolution of the Roman empire and again later in the eighth century by the Moors from Spain, when they overran the couthern part of France, before being hurled back by Charles Martel from the Tours.

About 1350 Car- pentras was visited by a very aisastrous conflagration, which destroyed many of its finest edifices. About 1358 Pope Inno- cent VI undertook to repair the damage which had been done by the fire, but his elaborate plans were never fully carried out, as he died in 1362, and the great schism following shortly after, attention was distracted to political intrigue rather than rebuilding the city. Some grand works were, however, carried to comple- tion, especially the magnificent ramparts by which the city was surrounded, a good part of which is in evidence to-day. The walls were very high and massive, nearly in the form of a square, on each corner of which stood a strong round tower. Four gates, opening to the four points of the compass, gave passage in and out, each round tower, except that of Notre Dame, opening toward Orange, which had two towers a hundred and fifteen feet in height. These are still standing in good preservation and are very noticeable for their massive structure and splendid battlements. The parochial church, formerly a cathedral, is a splendid specimen of the art of its time. It was built by the antl-Pope Be- noit XIII in the latter part of the four- teenth century on the site of a former church_and dedicated to St. Slflrleu.‘ an | early Bishop of Carpentras. In his church are six figures of the adoring an- els, by Bernus, and a fine portrait of t. Thomas Aquinas. Adjoining the church is the Palace of Justice, a_structure of vast proportions, built in 1640 by the famous Cardinal Bi- chi, then Bishop of Carpentras, as his episcopal residence. Carpentras has many fine promenades. The one called the “Terrasse Pla- tanes,” overlooking the stretches between the town and Mount Vintoux affords a panorama of beauty and grandeur seidom to be found. One of the most ancient as well as most interesting sights about the city Is the Arch of Triumph of Carpentras, thought by many to have been erected in honor of Claudius, but gned by others to the time of A nd others yet to the time of Dio Cletian, 284-305 A. D. The most noticeable structure of the whole vicinity, however, is the very picturesque aqueduct shown in the accompanying cut, which supplies the city with _potable water from the purest sources. It s six miles long and was built in 1720-34 at the enormous cost for the time of & liyres, To the right of the aqueduct as it en- ters the city is the quarter where most bf the Jewish inhabitants, of whom Car- pentras has quite a number, live and do business, They have a synagogue and enjoy a freedom in regard to religion and the education of their children not found In many cities of lower France.

PO S S N O O S e s asy (Before Sending for a Free Trial Package) Those who are losing their hair or have parted with their locks can have it restored Dy a remedy that is sent free to all. A Cin- cinnatl firm has concluded that the best way to convince people that hair can be grown on any head is to let them try it, and see for themselves. All sorts of theorles have been advanced to account for falling hair, but after all, it is the remedy we are after and not the theory. People who need more hair, or are anxious to save what they have or from sick- ness, dandruff or other causes have lost their hair should at once send their name and ad- dress to the Altenheim Medical Dispensary, 149 Butterfield Building, Cincinnati, O., and they will forward prepald by mall, a sufficlent free trial package of their remedy to fully prove Its remarkable action in quickly removing all trace of dandruff and scalp diseases and forcing a new growth of hair. The remedy is not a new experiment and no one need fear that it 1s harmful. It cured Jobn Bruner, Postmaster of Millville, Henry Co., Ind., and he strongly urges every one to try it. A Methodist preach- er, Victor A, Faigaux, of Tracy City, Tenn., was perfectly bald on his forehead for many years, but has now a fine growth. Mrs. C. W. Castleman, 843 Main St., Riverside, Cal., re- ports her husband's shiny head mow covered with soft fine hair and she, too, has derived wonderful benefit. Among others who have uged the remedy are Geo. Diefenbach, Genl. Agt. of the Big Four R. R. of Dayton, Ohlo, whoe Wife was entirely cured of baldness. The president of Fairmount College, Sulphur, Ky., Prof. B. F. Turner, was bald for thirty years and now has a spiendid growth of hair from having tried this remarkable remedy.

(After Using the Free Trial and Following Directions) WAS DEVOID OF HAIR. PECULIAR PLIGHT OF A SALEM GIRL—ENTIRELY BALD. What a Trial Package of a Remedy Did for Her. The portraits of Miss Emma Emond show what a striking difference is made in a person when the bald head is covered with hair. Miss Emond was totally bald, the hair follicles not only upon her head but upon her eyebrows be- ing completely contracted, not the sign of a hair being found. Of course she was the object of many experiments, all of which failed, and the offer of a well known dispensary to send a free trial of their remedy was peculiarly allur- ing to her. She sent for the free trial, followed all directions faithfullv and soon she was re- warded by a growth of hair, which for thick- ness, quality and luxuriance was as remark- able as the result was gratifying. Miss Emond lives in Salem, Mass., at 276 Washing- ton St., and naturally feels very much elated to recover from total baldness. An itching scalp to people who are blessed with hair is a sign of coming baldness and should be attended to at once. The remedy that caused Miss Emond's hair to grow also cures all scalp ftching and dis- eases, removes dandruff and keeps the hair and soalp healthy and vigorous.
