HAPPENINGS OF TWO CONTINENTS A Resume of the Less Important but Not Less Interesting Event of the Past Week. Russia is preparing to build several warships. The 1907-08 Japanese army and navy budget carries $95,000,000. The Japanese training squadron has abandoned its trip to Amerian shows. The president is expected to send another message to congress on negro troops. The train service between San Francisco and Los Angeles is at a complete standstill, owing to washouts. Several Japanese have applied to Texas Federal officers for citizenship papers. They were told to wait. It is conceded by many that Hearst stands a fair chance of wresting the New York mayoralty from McClellan. Congressman W. A. Smith has been made the cancera nominee by the Michigan legislature for Alger's place in the senate. The tobacco trust has been found guilty of forming an illegal combination. The penalty is a fine of not less than $1,000 and not more than $5,000. The plant and buildings of the Standard Powder company, at Horrell, Pa., were destroyed by the explosion of 5,000 kegs of dynamite. The damage will exceed $100,000. The report was heard 25 miles. The shah of Persia is dead. The Texas legislature will investigate Senator Bailey. Prussia is preparing for government ownership of mines. France is using church buildings for schools and museums. The government of Nicaragua is said to be aiding a revolution in Honduras. At the Chicago sessions of the Interstate Commerce commission it has developed that the Standard Oil company intended to secure control of all Western roads. In his final message to the legislature, Governor Pardee, of California, declared it useless to try to mix Chinese and Japanese with whites and says California will maintain the right to separate schools.

Producers and Shippers Unite in Demanding Legislation. Albany, Or., Jan. 11.—If any particular point touching on the derelictions or inquiries of the railroads was overlooked at the car shortage meeting in Eugene last month, it was supplied at the Shippers' and Producers' convention held in this city yesterday. The meeting, like its predecessor at Eugene, was held for the purpose of impressing on the members of the legislature the necessity for railroad legislation. The people are so terribly in earnest and so unanimous in their demands for remedial railroad legislation that practically every other matter to come before the legislature has been lost sight of. The attendance yesterday included a large number of people who were at the Eugene meeting, and if there has been any change in their feeling towards the railroads it has not been in favor of the corporations. Both in the sentiments openly expressed and in private conversation there are plenty of indications that the people are "nursing their wrath to keep it warm" until they can get action at Salem. At this meeting, as at Eugene, there were none of the "cinch-bill" type of politicians, and but little unreasonable abuse of the railroads. The attendance was made up of people who have been so seriously hurt in a financial way by the car shortage that they are becoming desperate and are prepared to go to most any length to improve conditions. The details or the form to be taken by the proposed legislation have not yet been worked out. As a matter of fact, they are no further along than when they were at the Eugene meeting, and the Albany convention might not inappropriately be termed a ratification meeting inspired by the Eugene affair. MOVES TO SEATTLE. Interstate Commerce Commission to Meet in Sound City. Chicago, Jan. 11.—The investigation by the Interstate Commerce commission into the traffic alliances and other business deals of the railroads controlled by E. H. Harriman, was completed today, so far as Chicago is concerned, and the commission adjourned to meet in Seattle January 21, when a case will be resumed. James H. Hiland, third vice president of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad; Julius Kruttschnitt, director in charge of maintenance and operation; E. A. McCormick, assistant traffic director of the Harriman lines, and J. A. Munroe, freight traffic manager of the Union Pacific, testified today. Testimony showing that the consolidation of the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific had eliminated competition to a certain extent was given by Mr. Hiland and Mr. Kruttschnitt, who admitted that the purchase of rolling stock for both systems was practically under his control. Mr. McCormick was questioned regarding the advertising department of the system, but declared each road had its own bureau of publicity. After the commission adjourned this afternoon it was said that after the commissioners had concluded their investigation in the West the hearing would be resumed in New York. At that time, Mr. Harriman, William Rockefeller, Standard Oil officials and others, including H. H. Rogers, H. C. Frick and James Stillman, would be called before the commission. ANNUL TIMBER AND STONE ACT Senate Committee Proposes to Sell Timber and Keep Land Washington, Jan. 10.—The senate public lands committee today agreed to report favorably the bill to repeal the timber and stone act and substitute therefor a law directing that the government retain title to its remaining timber lands, selling only the timber, at not less than apprised value. As this bill virtually creates forest reserves of all government timber land, the land can never pass to private ownership, and hence can never be taxed. To compen-ate for this loss of taxes, Senator Fulton secured the adoption of an amendment to the bill stipulating that 25 per cent of the money derived from timber sales shall be paid to the counteis in which the timber is cut. Heaviest Rain in Years Los Angeles, Jan. 11.—In amount of precipitation, the storm that has drenched Southern California during the past four days is the heaviest in 18 years. The total precipitation is nearly four inches, of which 1.4 has fallen during the past 24 hours. The storm has been severe in its effects north and east of Los Angeles. Landlides south of Santa Barbara had, at last accounts, tied up four or five passenger trains bound for this city. Four or five lives are known to have been lost as an indirect result. Car Shortage Closes Flour Mills Minneapolis, Jan. 11. Because they could not get cars in which to ship their products, the leading flour mills of the city have been forced to close down temporarily. Three hundred men are out of work. IN THE NATIONAL HALLS OF CONGRESS Thursday, January 10. Washington, Jan. 10.—By a vote of 70 to 1 the senate today passed a bill providing that railway employees engaged in handling trains shall not work more than 16 consecutive, hours which period is to be followed by ten hours off duty. The one negative vote was cast by Senator Pettus. This result was reached after an entire day spent in considering the subject. The parliamentary situation was confused during the entire time, caused by the 40 pending amendments and the three substitutes for the original bill, all of which had to be disposed of. The bill making appropriations for the legislative, executive and judicial expenses of the government, was reported to the senate today. It carries $30,855,834, a net increase of $225,450 over the amount as passed by the house. All propositions for raising the salaries of members of congress and members of the cabinet, including the provisions inserted by the house increasing the pay of cabinet members, the vice president and speaker of the house to $12,000 a year, were rejected. It is expected an amendment will be offered on the floor of the senate to restore these items. Washington, Jan. 10.—Late this afternoon, Mr. Gaines, of Tennessee, and Mr. Mahon, of Pennsylvania, were only prevented from meeting in a personal encounter by the intervention of members on the floor of the house. Mr. Gaines was making a speech on his bill to "dock" members' pay for absence from the house and was being twitted by both sides of the chamber to his evident embarrassment. During his speech he charged Mr. Mahon with being absent from the house 95 per cent of the time. Mahon immediately jumped to his feet, declaring the statement a lie. The two senators started for each other, but were pulled apart before any damage was done. The army canteen was again today under discussion in the house. While the army appropriation bill was up Representative Morrell, of Pennsylvania, intimated that he would like to attach a paragraph doing away with the anti-canteen law, in line with a bill he had introduced in the first session of the 59th congress. Mr. Hull, of Iowa, in charge of the bill, stated that the paragraph would be new legislation and that a point of order would therefore lie against it. He stated, however, that the testimony of the army officers was almost uniform to the effect that the canteen was a good temperance measure and that its abolition had resulted in desertions and a greater degree of drunkenness. While the army appropriation bill was under consideration in the house today an amendment was dopted appropriating $250,000 for the construction and maintenance of military and post roads and trails in Alaska, to be expended under the direction of the board of road commissioners. The army appropriation bill, with sunday amendments, was passed by the house, and the fortifications appropriation bill was taken up, four hours being given to general debate. Wednesday, Jan. 9. Washington, Jan. 9.—The senate today debated La Follette's bill limiting working time of railroad employees. A tentative understanding was reached that a vote on the general service pension bill will be taken next Friday. The Brownsville matter was postponed because Tillman, who is indisposed, desired to address the senate on the subject. Washington, Jan. 9.—By a vote of 27 to 50 the house in committee of the whole today, having the army appropriation bill under consideration, refused to strike out an item of $1,000,000 for the purpose of paying the expenses of regiments, battalions, squadrons and batteries of the organized militia to participate in such brigade or division encampment as may be established for the field instruction of the troops of the regular army. During the discussion of the army appropriation bill today, Representative Kahn, of California, declared the absence of the canteen was responsible for the unusual number of desertions during the past year. Tuesday, January 8 Washington, Jan. 8. — Practically all of today was given over by the senate leaders of both parties to an effort to Fence Order Bears Fruit Washington, Jan. 9. — President Roosevelt's order compelling removal of all fences from public land has already borne fruit. Senator Burkett, of Nebraska, has introduced a bill authorizing the leasing of all public grazing land under the direction of the secretary of agriculture, holders of leases to have the privilege of fencing land so obtained. The bill places no restriction on the amount of land that may be leased by any individual or company, but gives the preference right to home-steaders and settlers. NO. 38. bring harmony between opposing views concerning the proposed investigation of the affray at Brownsville, Tex. What amounts to an agreement between Senators Foraker and Lodge has been attained by their friends, but inasmuch as it was decided not to present the compromise until all of the senators desiring to do so had made speeches on the subject of the dismissal of the negro troops, it is not absolutely certain that the peace plans will not be upset. The compromise is not greatly different from the resolution presented by Lodge and a similar resolution which Foraker had intended to offer as a substitute for his original resolution. It provides for the investigation by the senate committee on military affairs of the affray at Brownsville, and to this are to be added provisions that a subcommittee be sent to Brownsville, and that the expenses of the investigation be paid out of the contingent fund of the senate. Such a resolution would ignore the constitutional and legal questions that have been debated for several days. Washington, Jan. 8.—The house immediately after the approval of the journal today began the consideration of the military appropriation bill. Chairman Hull began debate by a comprehensive statement of the contents of the army budget, which carries $2,500,-000 more than last year. Other speeches were made by Slayden, of Texas, on his bill to discontinue the enlistment of negroes in the army of the United States; by Zenor, of Indiana, against the ship subsidy bill and by Gaines, of Tennessee, who spoke in commemoration of the ninety-second anniversary of the battle of New Orleans. Monday. January 7. Washington, Jan. 7. — President Roosevelt's dismissal of the negro troops was again the subject of contention in the senate today, and indications point to a protracted debate before any of the pending resolutions on the subject are voted on. Lodge developed a new phase of the question by presenting a resolution providing for an investigation of the "affray" at Brownsville and, by silence, conceding the authority of the president to take the action he did. Foraker accepted Culberson's amendment authorizing the committee to visit Brownsville if it desired. His resolution was supported by Lodge in an address and opposed by Foraker, who followed, and spoke until 5:30 o'clock, giving notice then that he would conclude tomorrow. Washington, Jan. 7. —The house today passed a bill providing for judicial review of the orders excluding persons from the use of the United States mail facilities after a debate lasting most of the day. In presenting reasons why the bill should pass, Crumpacker, of Indiana, its author, said the power given to the postmaster general under the statutes to issue fraud orders was not at all an administrative discretion. It rather partook of the nature of a police power for the regulation of the morals of the people of the country. Crumpacker contended that the whole fraud order law was an unusual proceeding in that, if it had been confined to institutions and practices that were essentially fraudulent or were inherently bad and criminal, such as green goods concerns lotteries and the like, as originally contemplated by congress, there would be no complaint against it. Pay Chinooks for the Land Washington, Jan. 9.—Senator Fulton has offered n amendment to the Indian appropriation bill proposing to pay the lower band of Chinook Indians of Oregon and Washington $337,870 for lands taken from them by the government; also an amendment to the sunny civil bill appropriating $5,000 for a telephone line connecting the Umpqua life saving station with the mouth of the Siuslaw river. Increase Ministers Salaries Washington, Jan. 10.—The house committee on foreign affairs completed discussion on the diplomatic and consular appropriation bill and will report a measure carrying $3,138,477 for the foreign service. The most important change is an increase to $10,000 of the salary of all ministers now receiving less than that amount. This will give more money to the ministers. Let Them Go Away to Get Warm Washington, Jan. 9.—In view of the fact that many homestead settlers are said to be freezing in North Dakota and the rules of the department of the Interior provide in many cases that residence of the settlers shall be continuous, Senator Hansbrough has prepared a resolution permitting the settlers leave of absence for three months to extend over the winter period, which absence shall not interfere with their entry rights. All homesteaders affected by these conditions are to make application by afdavit. Topics of the Times Cuba wants new blood. It ought to be a few degrees cooler than the home brand. The President's action concerning the Twenty-fifth Infantry has become a study in black and white. Summerfield, Ohio, has a boy 15 years of age who weighs 488 pounds. He may be Secretary of War some day. If, as Prof. Lowell says, the people of Mars are our superiors, we suppose it will be in order for us to look up to them. Pretty hard on Count Boni being cut off from all those millions, with the cost of living higher than it has been for twenty years. A wealthy Chicago girl is going to marry a baseball player. Bet he won't pinch her and stick her with pins, like a count or a duke. Mrs. Russell Sage finds it difficult to give away $80,000,000 so as to make it do the most good. Her husband would have found it impossible. A Nebraska woman is seeking her third divorce from the same man. She is simply practicing what that "trial marriage" advocate is preaching. "We have enough railroads now," declares E. H. Marriman. Mr. Marriman may have enough, but there are millions of us poor people in the country who don't own a single railroad. The Buffalo Times tells of a boy who took several ounces of rough-on-rats without suffering any evil effects; but it appears that he worked in a drug store and took it to a customer. New York's board of education has put itself on record in opposition to the new kind of spelling. This fact will cause Brander Matthews to recall the old proverb concerning the prophet in his own country. If they can be discovered the men who made a drunken man in New York sleep with a pig are to be punished. But will the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals take no action in behalf of the other pig? According to President Roosevelt, a 30-cent lunch in a Panama restaurant is good enough for anybody. It is just possible, though, that the lunch set before President didn't look as much like 30 cents as the one served to the average patron. "Story hour" is a new feature of library work among children which has had marked success at the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh. Children come to the building at stated times and listen to stories told by a skilled narrator. In Boston the centennial of the birth of Hans Christian Andersen was celebrated last year by a gathering of a large and interested audience of children at the Public Library, to whom a lady told Andersen stories. It is an expedient for providing wholesome entertainment for children which might well be adopted by all cities and large towns. Iceland is now connected with Europe by cable, and the King of Denmark is in direct communication with his subjects on the northern isle. Cables are built so fast that it is difficult to keep track of them. There are about two hundred and fifty thousand miles of metallic connection under the seas of the world, the average cost of which has been about a thousand dollars a mile. A quarter of a billion is a great sum of money, yet it is a small price to pay for communication between continents which send to each other an estimated total of six million messages a year. Young men who are wondering what opportunity the world holds out to them when they leave college may be interested in some figures given in the latest published report of the United States Commissioner of Education. The commissioner says that since 1890 there have been created an average of about a thousand new college professorships every year, and more than thirteen hundred new positions in the high schools and academies. Thus about twenty-three hundred new teachers have to be found annually, without making any allowance for the retirement of many hundreds of others on account of age or other disability. It is apparent that the man who wishes to live the scholarly life has ample opportunity in these days of popular education. By those who have watched the rapid growth of the colleges and universities fears are often expressed that personal contact between president and students, between professors and pupils, will be lost, if it has not been lost already; and that so the best part of a college education will be forfeited. The definite charge, by a writer in a recent number of the Outlook, that in one college at least this condition has already come to pass, brought out some interesting correspondence. One woman mentions a professor who not only knew all "his boys" while they were under his instruction and helped them by personal advice and friendly social intercourse, but has kept in touch with every one of them since they were graduated. Once a year he sends them all a letter, and nearly all of them reply. The atmosphere is almost like that of one great family. The misfortune of one is the concern of all, and all help to repair it. Other correspondents cite other colleges and other men to show that intercourse between faculty and students is growing more intimate instead of more remote; and no one has considered it necessary to cite—for every one knows—the definite system which most of the colleges have for bringing all the students under the direct personal influence of some of the professors or other instructors. Candid graduates of forty or fifty years ago, if they are familiar with present college conditions, nearly always admit that the relations to-day are simpler and more familiar. The old-time professor, however beneficent his influence, was too often a man of austere dignity, which made him unapproachable. His modern representative may be regarded with less awe, but not with less affection. One thing must be remembered: it takes two to form a friendship as well as to make a quarrel. The student must meet advances half-way. If he does, there is little danger in any college, large or small, that he will go through the course friendless or without the helpful influence of close contact and acquaintance with "praeces et professores." At intervals of a few years we hear that England is scraping the bottom of her coal mines and that in a relatively short time her fuel supply will be be hauasted and she will have to go out of the manufacturing business. Still, England continues to mine coal in sufficient quantity for her needs. Lately however, the prophets have been insistent in their auguries of woe, and they have asserted that this time there can be no mistake. The exhaustion of the English coal supply is in sight. Providence appears still to temper the wind to the shorn lamb, however, for coincident with these gloomy outgivings comes the statement that new coal beds have been discovered near Dover whose value is money is estimated at $5,000,000,000. Leading geologists say that the discovery is the most important since the Norman conquest. Thus England is granted a respite. Her manufactures will not become extinct for lack of fuel—not for a while, at least. Still, the prophets of evil continue to prophesy. They calculate that not only the coal supply of England but of the whole world must within a certain time be exhausted and they demand to know what will become of humanity then. The question is interesting, but hardly of contemporary importance. The anxious ones concede that we may will be years to come and we may justly assume that we shall not be personally interested in occurrences that far in the future. But even if we expected to live until all the coal and wood had been burned we should still decline to be alarmed at the prospect. We have great faith in the resources of the human intellect. Poe said that the ingenuity of man could not devise a cipher or cryptograph which the ingenuity of man could not solve. We hold the same opinion with respect to any emergency that may confront the human race. Man rises to the necessities of his existence. When the fuel that we now have is exhausted substitutes will be found for it. The resources of nature are infinite and they are at the disposal of men acute enough to utilize them. The harnessing of the tides alone would produce enough power transformable into heat to supply all humanity ten times over. That is only one resource; there are a dozen others. Millionaire Bey. Mouanmer Bey, son of the richest man in all Turkey, who will be heir to more millions than any other person in the Ottoman Empire, save the heir of the sultan, is in Boston on business, and before he leaves the business men will have something like a cool half million of his money, while he will have tons of Boston's most improved shoe and cotton machinery. There is nothing about this sleek-appearing man of 35 years, with his rotund figure, to indicate that he is to be at some time in the future the richest man in his native land. He is just as democratic as any of this country's wealthy men, and one wouldn't have to make a very big stretch of imagination to pick him out as an American. Mouammer Bey, unlike most of his fellow countrymen, is highly educated, and instead of wasting his father's vast wealth by riotous living he has mastered the many great industries that his father controls, and is adding to the fortune. Those who have come in contact with him say that he is as keen as the proverbial Yankee business man—Boston Post. Identity Marks. Skinfint—Was I?

This stone was found in Finland many years ago by an explorer, and has since been watched by scientists with great in.erest. It presents a white, mottled appearance in sunshine, gradually turning from gray to blace as a rainstorm approaches. The stone is composed of clay, niter and rock salt. In dry weather the salt in the stone is prominent, but when the air is filled with moisture the salt absorbs the moisture and turns black, thus forming the barometer. At Strasburg, Germany, a dental clinic has been opened at the university for the treatment of school children. Higher all the school children are sent, in order, by their teachers. Each child is quickly examined, as many as eighty children being dealt with in an hour, and nearly 300 a day, by a single doctor. Teaching goes hand in hand with treatment. The doctor tells the child how to use a tooth brush, sees that he uses one, and sends him home to practice with it. The movement is spreading. In Wiesbaden and Mulhausen school dental clinics are to be erected. Among the natural curiosities discovered by the Belgian exploration expedition in the country lying between the basins of the Congo and the Nile was a wild fig-tree—Figuier du diable—which, having by the chance of the winds had its birth on the summit of 'an enormous rock of granite, and finding no nourishment for its expanding roots near by, sent one long root in search of soil down the face of the rock until it reached the rich earth at the bottom. There it buried itself in the ground, and thus established a chain of life for the dependent plant above. Fluid resins or oils from several different trees are extensively used in the Philippines as varnishes. One of them, called oil of supa, is a pale yellow liquid when fresh, but it becomes dark and viscous after contact with the air. Spread in a thin layer, it dries slowly and forms a hard varnish. It is also capable of being burned in a lamp. Another natural varnish is balao, also called oil of apltong. It is white when fresh, but darkens after exposure, and makes a very tough varnish. Oil of panoa is a third variety, inferior to the others in its drying properties. Chemical analysis has shown that all these wood oils consist entirely of hydrocarbons known as sesquiterpenes. Many of the scientific journals in Europe lately have given attention to a curious discovery reported to the Paris Academy of Sciences by Professor Bouchard. This discovery is that under the action of the X-rays gray hair, on the head and face of a patient treated for lupus, gradually assumed its natural color, and retained it with surprising tenacity. But only the hair directly reached by the rays was thus affected, and it is pointed out that it would be dangerous to employ such a method to restore the color of a person's hair. The fact is regarded as interesting in itself, but should not be accepted as a basis for the operations and claims of quacks. Professor Bouchard said that he did not wish to base any practical conclusions upon it. Dr. Guthnick of the Royal Observatory at Berlin has recently announced the result of his photometric studies of six of the principal satellites of Saturn. He confirms the previous conclusions of other observers that several, and perhaps all, of these satellites behave like our own moon in keeping always the same side toward the planet which they revolve. In regard to the satellite named Tethys, he offers an interesting hypothesis to account for its very marked changes of luminosity. His idea is that Tethys possesses the form of a long ellipsoid, the two principal axes of which are to one another in the ratio of five to two. It will be remembered that a similar suggestion has been made concerning the shape of the asteroid Eros, which likewise exhibits great variations of light, according to its position in its orbit about the sun. All the ingenuity that has been employed in the past few years in the invention of submarine boats would be wasted but for the means that have been found to bestow upon the submerged vessel, or upon those who navigate it, the ability to see what is going on upon the surface of the water. These means are simple in principle, as they depend only upon the reflection and conduction of light, but almost every nation has its own methods of supplying "eyes" to its submarine warboats, and the details are kept more or less secret. Universally, the apparatus comprises a tube rising above the water, and carrying reflecting surfaces by which the images of ships and other objects above are carried to the watchful eyes beneath. Mirrors were usually been employed, but the French navy has substituted for them total reflection prisms. To vary the length of the tube, so that its upper end may be always above the waves, an apparatus operated by a little electric motor is employed in the latest models. THE MODERN GRAIN ELEVATOR. It Is a Group of Enormous Tanks Made of Hollow Tiling. There has been a revolution in grain elevator construction in recent years. In the familiar tall red structure which is a common accessory of the western landscape the grain blins and machinery were in the same building. Nowadays, according to Insurance Engineering, the practice is to put the machinery in a separate building and store the grain in large tanks connected with the machinery building by belt conveyors. There is little doubt that the old-fashioned wooden grain elevator with all its objectionable features is a thing of the past. In the modern grain tank of nolow terra cotta tile, built circular in shape, the walls consist of blocks six inches in thickness and eight inches in height, furred on the outside with tiles two inches in thickness and twelve inches in height (the furring tiles overlapping the smaller blocks), making a wall eight inches in thickness, the whole being re-enforced by pairs of steel tension bands running through the walls at frequent intervals. The steel tension bands are imbedded in a cement grouting and the outside furring is applied with a cement mortar. The foundation walls and base are built of concrete. One of these new elevators has a capacity of 1,000,000 bushels, and consists of twenty-four tanks, twenty-four feet in diameter (inside) and 100 feet in height, with a steel operating house at one end, forty-two by seventy feet, containing all the machinery for filling and emptying the tanks. There is nothing in the construction of this plant to burn. All the machinery is driven by electricity from an adjacent public generating station. A LITTLE LESSON IN PATRIOTISM. The first cruise of the sailor Theodorus Bailey was in 1818, on board the "Cyane," which captured several slave-trading ships off the coast of Africa at the time when the government of the United States was endeavoring to put an end to the slave trade. After several years of service on the navy ships at the time when the Mexican war broke out, Lieut. Bailey was already a vet-eran. He made use THEODORUS BAILEY. trading ships on the coast of Africa at the time when the government of the United States was endeavoring to put an end to the slave trade. After several years of service on the navy ships at the time when the Mexican war broke out, Lleut, Bailey was already a vet-eran. He made use of his vessel, an old razee, as an armed cruiser, and did effective service at the blockade of the west coast of Mexico. He landed the troops at Monterey, captured San Blas, and was actively employed with the land forces in the capture of California. After the close of the war, Bailey happened to arrive opportunely in Panama during the riots of the middle fifties, and at once took steps to suppress them, which proved satisfactory alike to both the government and the ciliens. The most important service of Capt. Bailey during the Civil War was given while he was second in command of the fleet of Farragut. Farragut sent Bailey to demand the surrender of New Orleans. He passed through the streets in the midst of a howling mob, which threatened him and his companions with drawn pistols. In his official report to Washington Admiral Farragut commended the gallantry and bravery of Bailey and sent him to Washington with the official reports. He was promoted commodore after the capture of New Orleans in token of appreciation by the government. Middle-Aged Marriage. The marrying age is steadily receding, and it is quite within the range of probability that 41 will be regarded in the future as the equivalent of the present 21. This is partly due to the keenness of the struggle for existence; a man desires to attain a position before marrying, and he finds the years slipping by with disturbing rapidity while he is climbing the ladder. Both men and women, too, fear that they may be deceived and may enter into partnership with one who will turn out to be undesirable. So they will spend the earlier years and then the glamour of this single life will wear off. They will have gained experience enough to enable them to judge character with fair accuracy, and then will thus be less fearful of being "taken in." They will feel that after all, it is better to settle down with a partner. And then marriage will come in middle age. The love making will not be the same, but it may well be a more solid fire—queter, but more enduring.—adelphia Bulletin. Denatured Fireworks. "Have you any fireworks suitable for small children?" asked the young mother. The dealer replied cheerfully and confidently that he had. "We have some splendid firecrackers, Roman candles and all such things," he said. "But I am afraid my little boy is not old enough for them." "Then here are some pinwheels and——" "Oh, the very thing!

South 11th St. An investigating committee of the There are bad colored people there, of business men of Atlanta has been at course, but in nearly all these affrays work to discover, if possible, the real the fault, the violence, and the crime Our Candidate for President JOSEPH BENSON FORAKER Of Ohio EDITORIAL WRETCHED SERVICE. Complaints multiply about the service of the street railway in Portland, and the people generally are pretty well disgusted with it. Not only are there not cars enough but frequently there is not power enough and people have to wait an indefinite time on the motionless cars or get out and walk. It is the same lack of power, we suppose that causes the arc lights and sometimes other lights to go out frequently. The city pays a big price for lights, and sometimes gets them and sometimes doesn't. The other evening when a man was murdered on the Ford street bridge, the lights were out a long time and thugs had things their own way. It would not be surprising if the heirs-at-law of the murdered man could recover damages from the light company or the city. The people are not to blame if the company can't or won't get power to run their cars and light up the city. The company holds itself out as able to accommodate the public and takes their money for pretending to do so, and then pleads that its power is short. This is an old excuse and has become too thin. The company has had plenty of time to get more power, but perhaps it doesn't want to spend any money in that direction, acting on the same policy that causes it to pay its carmine starvation wages, that no good, responsible man fit for such a position can afford to work for. While the New Age saw that the late abortive attempt of the men to strike was engineered by a few busybodies and mischief makers and was doomed from the start to failure, it believes there ought to be a real, united strike, if it could be made to succeed, that would stop every car in the city and keep it from moving until the men were paid decent, living wages, and a full complement of capable men were employed. As it is the company has discharged a lot of its men for venturing to intimate that they would like to get money enough out of their long hours of hard work to live on, and so is short of men, or has put on some incompetent or careless men, and in fact if one gets a chance to ride anywhere near the time he wants to it is scarcely safe to do so. The service is so regularly irregular that in many cases no dependence what ever can be placed on it. If a man goes to a corner where a car he wants is due in one minute he is likely to have to wait five, ten or fifteen minutes, and this is pretty sure to happen if he is in a hurry or the rain is pouring down. The noise of the apparatus used is enough to wreck a strong man's nerves, and while the car may go jerking along like a frog jumping, it may take a spurt and run a ways at about 40 miles an hour, regardless of anybody that wants to get aboard or anybody that may be in the way on the street. And of course, the pretended or alleged fenders, if a person is run down, are of no use whatever, rather renders the person's death doubly certain. What can be done by the authorities, if anythig, to compel the company to establish and maintain a decent, proper and sufficient service we do not know, but if anything it should be done. Meanwhile all the people who are not absolutely obliged to ride would better walk. It is safer, pleasanter, and in a great many cases quicker. THE ATLANTA "RIOT." facts about the alleged race riot in that city some months ago. At least this was their ostensible object, but we may be sure that while some of these men were intent on ascertaining the exact and full truth, the colored people involved in that affair did not get any the best of it in the findings. At the time of the occurrence, it will be remembered, it was said that wicked, wanton, wretched and criminal negroes were solely or principally to blame or that the attacks upon them were justifiable or excusable because of several alleged crimes that had been perpetrated, or attempted to be perpetrated, by unknown parties, therefore, presumably negroes. One, we believe, had looked through a window into a room in which was a young white woman, a bad act, very likely, but hardly sufficient to help set a mob of supposedly civilized white men to the work of indiscriminate murder and arson, the victims being wholly innocent people. The result of this inquiry, however, is a report from these white business men of Atlanta stating that the rioting and killing were due to the acts of the "tough element" among the whites, for in the south, as well as in the north, there are hoodlums and malicious, depraved fellows among the whites as well as among the blacks, and it is almost invariably the whites who, to avenge some single crime, or reported crime, of a negro, start the trouble and do most of the mischief. The Atlanta investigation revealed the fact also that the twelve negroes who were killed and the 70 or more who were wounded were without exception honest, industrious, decent people and good members of society. There was not a single vagrant, hoodlum, drunkard or desperado in the whole lot. They were humble, useful, industrious, peaceable citizens, minding their own business and doing nothing in that community. The men or other adults supporting the families, paying their debts and taxes, believing in the same God as the whites and theoretically protected in equal rights by the same great government. Yet a dozen of these inoffensive peaceable citizens were murdered by a mob, some 70 others were wounded, some of their homes and belongings were burned, and they and others like them were obliged or felt impelled to move away from that city and seek some other place where the right or life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness would perhaps not be so awfully outraged. What would have happened if the case had been reversed—if a mob of hundreds or thousands of negroes had thus murdered, wounded and driven from their homes a lot of inoffensive white people? What a terrific howl would have gone up for not only justice but vengeance throughout the south. But because these dead, wounded and homeless people were only "niggers," the affair was passed over with but brief comments, the matter was hushed up as much as possible, nobody was punished, and the brave and puissant president, who could discharge whole companies of colored troops for not answering to suit him said not a word and did not do a thing to uphold the constitution and laws and the rights of these citizens. The recent affair in Mississippi was of a good deal the same character, as mentioned last week, and so are others characterized as "race riots" engendered by negroes. The fact is that advantage is taken on frequent opportunities of some crime or misdemeanor of a black man to organize among white hoodlums, miscreants, hobos, thieves and various kinds of rascals, aided and abetted by more respectable negro-phobists, a mob bent THE NEW AGE, PORTLAND, OREGON NOT PROVEN. That there was riotous conduct on the part of some men in Brownsville, Texas, on a certain occasion is not denied. One man was killed, another was wounded, houses were fired into, and a portion of the town was "shot up." A report was sent in that this was done by soldiers of the 25th infantry, all colored men. Various witnesses substantiated this report and the president and his investigating subordinates accepted this testimony as true and conclusive, and because none of the colored soldiers would confess to the crime or implicate others he discharged the whole battalion from the service "without honor." The soldiers and their friends deny that they are the guilty parties but say that persons who wanted to rid Brownsville of the colored troops, and who hated negroes in any capacity, secured some of the soldiers' castoff uniforms and committed the crimes with intent to have the very result that it did. This may or may not be so. The president says the evidence was sufficient against the troops, but he may be mistaken. Any number of men down south could be procured to swear anything against a negro, whom they regard as of no more consequence and having no more rights than a lower animal. Evidence could have been manufactured, and of course would have been, if the alleged plot was formed. Senator Foraker bases his chief argument in behalf of the troops on the ground that the president exceeded his authority in discharging these men, but he also denies that there was evidence enough to convict them, and other senators and prominent men agree with him in this. Besides, if these men were guilty of several crimes, including murder, what were the authorities of Brownsville and the county doing? Why did they not arrest the rioters, or make strenuous efforts to capture them? This it seems was not done, and the inference is that the authorities had attained their object in the discharge of the soldiers. As Senator Foraker says, they were charged with crimes that entitled them to trial. In this country men even in military circles are not punished on mere accusations or expert evidence, and without a chance to defend themselves. It also appears clear from the arguments advanced by Senator Foraker and others that the president exceeded his constitutional authority, especially in time of peace. He discharged these men "without honor" as individuals, and without trial, and everyone of them, though but few if any had any part in the crime, is branded as being a participant in it or an accessory to it. It is no wonder that colored citizens generally—for they are citizens—and very many prominent white people too, regard this arbitrary act of the president as a great injustice to these soldiers and to the race. RAILROAD LEGISLATION. The legislature will meet Monday, and a session of more importance, perhaps, than any one for many years, will begin. A great deal of important legislation will be proposed, nearly all of which will be necessarily very large. The one most important matter will be laws regulating railroads, or in some manner seeking to control them so that they will not be able to treat the people with impudent insolence and oppress them in whatever way they please, and these measures will be fought by the railroads in every way that they can possibly devise and when they go after a legislature they generally get it, and whatever they want out of it. Fortunately whatever laws are proposed or passed will only affect, except in a slight degree, the Harriman lines, for there is not much of other lines in the state and it is the Harriman roads and not any other's that the people are after. They have no grievance, rather the friendliest sort of feeling for the Hill lines in or near Oregon, and they have nothing in particular against the A. & C. or C. & E. but, they have a big account against Harriman, who has been bleeding the state these many years out of millions of dollars and refusing to do anything to develop it, and charging excessive and extortionate rates not only on watered stock but to help fill up his Wall street coffers besides. The people demand that this legislature shall take some position and drastic action to bring the Harriman lines within this state under control, and to protect the people from a continuation of this outrageous treatment. As stated, the railroad attorneys, agents and lobbyists will use every artifice possible to prevent such legislation or to spoil it in the making, and it is possible that they may succeed, for there are always some "weak sisters" in a legislature and some who are praying that they may be tempted to their profit. The public is so awakened on this subject, however, and the demand for radical railroad legislation is so strong, insistent and universal, that the member who goes over to the railroad will be a hardy scoundrel, requiring more nerve than most of the members possess. It is a high duty of this legislature, besides attending to other business, to limit the power, check the insatiable greed and regulate the railroads within Oregon of this Wall street gourmond, who has bottled up this state for his own use and robbed its people quite long enough. PROGRESSIVE MAYOR RODGERS. At the recent city election at Salem Mr. Rodgers, a very popular and affable gentleman was elected mayor. Mr. Rodgers had previously at the election been chosen as a member of the state legislature and will serve in the dual capacity this winter—both as mayor and representative. It is seldom that it falls to the lot of any individual to be thus honored, and Mr. Rodgers can well feel proud of the high testimonial of his worth, ability and character given him by his fellow citizens. Salem is taking on new life and the need of a wideawake, progressive and intelligent man to lead in this work is apparent. Mr. Rodgers as mayor, is the right man in the right place and we predict for him a highly successful administration. In his initial message he recommends many measures and improvements, chief among which are the following: The creation of a charter board to revise the city charter and submit it to the vote of the people at an early date; lowering the tax limit from 10 mills, as at present, to $3\frac{1}{2}$ mills, and the road tax from $1\frac{1}{2}$ to about 6-10 mills, to equalize the rate of levy under the new system of full rate of assessment; economy in the construction of city bridges and for street improvement; creation of a sinking fund; harmony and efficiency in the police department; making the office of chief of police appointive, instead of elective, and leaving the choice of that officer's assistants to himself; uniformed police force and a better system of accounting for the offices of recorder and treasurer. DAVEY SHOULD WIN. Mr. Frank Davey seems pretty sure to win the speakership in spite of his disappearance from view of the politicians for a few days, and the unreasonable rumors created over it. He ought to win, partly because a lot of lukewarm friends or more or less enemy enemies tried to throw him down merely because he chose to get out of the hubbub and rest up for two or three days. Mr. Davey is in all respects well qualified for this position, in fact he is exceptionally well qualified, and he is a man in whom the people have confidence that he will give them a square deal. He has made a clean, open manly fight for the position, and the New Age hopes and believes he will win it next Monday. A sample of the reports sent out from Brownsville and El Reno was the dispatch that there was a plot among the discharged soldiers of the 25th infantry to kill all the white officers. There was no basis for the report, but it was originated to fit in with the "testimony" against the soldiers and to create prejudice against them throughout the country. Probably "Teddy" believed it, however, and perhaps regretted that he had not hanged or shot the 300 soldiers. The many friends of W. G. McPherson were overjoyed to learn that he arrived safe and sound at Mazatlan, Sera Madra.

SENATOR FORAKER. Eyes of Country Are Now Upon Ohio Leader. Life of the Man Who Is Fignting for Justice for Soldiers. Joseph Benson Foraker, republican, of Cincinnati, was born July 5, 1846, on a farm near Rainsboro, Highland county, Ohio; enlisted July 14, 1862, ab a private in Company A, 89th regi- ment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, with which organization he served until the close of the war, at which time he held the rank of first lieutenant and brevet captain; was graduated from Cornell University, Ithaca, N. ¥., July 1, 1869: was admitted to the bar and entered upon the practice of law at Cincinnati, ©., October 14, 1869; was elected judge of the Superior Court of Cincin- pati In April 1879; resigned on account of ill health May 1, 1882; was the re publican candidate for ' governor of Ohfo in 1883, but was defeated; was elected to that office in 1885, and re- elected in 1888; was again nominated for governor and defeated in 1889: was chairman of the republican state conventions of Ohio for 1886, 1890, 1896 and 1900, and a delegate at large from Ohio to the national republican conventions of 1884, 1888, 1892, 1906, 1900 and 1904; was chairman of the Ohio delegation In the conventions of 1884 and 1888, and presented to both ‘of these conventions the name of Hon. John Sherman for nomination for the presidency; in the conventions of 1892 and 1896 served as chairman of the committee on resolutions, and as such reported the platform each time to the convention; presented the name of ‘William McKinley to the conventions ‘of 1896 and 1900 for nomination to the presidency; was elected United States senator January 15, 1896, to succeed Calvin S. Brice, and took his seat March 4, 1897; was re-elected Jan- uary 15, 1902, to succeed himself. His term of service will expire March 3, 1909. Foraker on Disfranchisement. Neither is it a time to show indiffer- ence to the wrong the democratic party 1s committing today in the Southern states against the black man. whom it is robbing of his suffrage un- Ger the-forms of Constitutional amend- ments and legal enactments that are in violation of the Constitution of the United States. This is worse, if pos. sible, than the inhuman lynchings of Which we read almost daily. because it is without provocation, and is a blow aimed both at a class and the govern- ment of a nation. Constituted authority must find a way to suppress these wrongs or the government will deserve to lose the Enpport of a race that has shed its Dlood for our flag in every war, upon almost every field where it has waved. Brave, heroic, gallant men were they who. side by side with their white comrades, have borne our flag to vic- tory in all our wars. They helped us to conauer our Independence, to form ‘our Union, to preserve our nations ite, to carry life, to carry liberty and freedom to Cuba, and to plant our ban ner in victory on the islands of the Seas. They are entitled to the protec- tion of the government for which they 8o bravely fought. It is an inexpress- ible shame that such protection is de- nied. As they have shared our labors and perils so must they share our re- wards. In what way their rights will better be secured is an unsolved prob- lem, but until they are fully protected and democratic persecutions and de- nials of constitutional rights have ceased there will not be any restora- tion of the democratic party to power. f TACOMA NOTES 3 The ball that was given by the K ot P.

NEW LEASE OF LIFE FOR TOGO'S FLAG-SHIP THE SHIP IN THE DOCK A JAP ENGINEERING TRIUMPH: THE RAISING OF THE MIKASA. The Japanese never consider a vessel lost. All the battered hulks of the Russian navy have been recovered from the mud of Port Arthur, and are now efficient members of the Mikado's navy. Togo's flagship, the Mikasa, which took fire and sank in the harbor of Sasebo, has now, after months of patient engineering effort, been refloated. The hull was boarded up, all leaks stopped, and the water pumped out. The vessel rose to view mud-covered and rusty, but still capable of refitment, and very soon the admiral will be on his old bridge again. The fire is now known to have been due to spontaneous combustion caused by the decomposition of chemicals. "Gumerlidge isn't a man I've a great deal of use for," remarked the citizen with the protruding waltshand. "I've only met him a few times, just when you've brought him in to lunch, but I'm free to confess I don't like him. You know I never beat about the bush. If I like a man I like him and if I don't I'm as liable to tell him so as I am to tell anybody else. I know he's a friend of yours, or you think he is; but he makes me tired, and that's all there is to it." "Why, what's the matter with him?" asked the thin man with the bushy black beard. "I never heard of anybody who bad any particular fault to find with Gumerlidge. I thuk he's one of the finest fellows that ever stepped. I've known him for twenty years and I've never seen anything wrong with him." "No. I don't suppose you have." said the citizen of circumference. "Still, I should think you'd have got sick of it in that time." "Sick of what?" "Taffy, soft soap, flattery; that's what I mean. That's what I don't like about him. He puts it all over you with a spade. That sort of thing sickens me." "I didn't notice him putting it all over you. He seemed to be pleasant, as he generally is with everybody, but I don't think he flattered you." "No, he didn't flatter me. He was flattering you." "Yes, Gumeridge. Take it at lunch the last time.

NEW LEASE OF LIFE A JAP ENGINEERING TRIUMPH The Japanese never consider a vessel Russian navy have been recovered from now efficient members of the Mikado's which took fire and sank in the harbor patient engineering effort, been refloat stopped, and the water pumped out, and rusty, but still capable of restraint on his old bridge again. The fire is no neous combustion caused by the decomposition. A convict's complacent acceptance of life's possibilities is shown in a dialogue between the criminal and Captain Spencer, senior missionary of the English Church Army. To a question of the captain's as to what he did when out of prison, he replied: "Well, in spring I does a bit of pea-picking, and in the summer-time I does a bit of fruit-picking, and in the autumn I does a bit of hop-picking." "Oh!" said the captain. "What happens after that?" "Well, now. mister," replied the convict, "I may as well be honest, and tell you that in the winter time I does a bit of pocket-picking!" The missloner furrowed his brow in amazement, asking finally, "And what happens then?" The convict answered laconically, "Why, here I am doing a bit of oakum pickling." Baron Huber went one evening to call upon President Thiers, who was then at the head of the French republic. The baron found the door of the house open and walked upstairs. In the dim light a man crept stealthily I tell you I put my trust in Billy every time." "Well," said Billy, "I guess I do know a thing or two in that line." "There are others," said the large man. "I've got a sneaking sort of notion that I'm pretty good in that line myself. But you were a 'corking good business man' as well." "Well, I'm not generally regarded as a slouch," said the thin man with the bushy black beard. "Perhaps not. Mind you, I don't say you are. I don't think I'm any slouch as far as that goes, but I don't want a man going around in front of me with a trumpet proclaiming it. 'Billy's a good fellow,' 'Billy always was a good deal of a ladies' man,' 'You can't fool Billy on a diamond.' 'You couldn't get Billy to go into any crooked deal of that kind.' 'That's one thing I can say about Billy; I always know just where to find him. He'll stand by his friends. Billy will.' 'When I'm in doubt I always ask Billy's opinion,' and so on." "I don't see anything particular for you to take exception to in that," said the bearded man. "You don't?" "I certainly do not." "You like a man who flatters you, do you, then?" "I don't see why you would call it flattery. I may have a few good qualities and Gumerlidge may have discrimination enough to recognize them, but I hope that isn't any hanging offense. For the matter of that, he was a good deal taken with you and I heard him cracking you up no end the other day 'to some of the people at the club." "Well," said the stout citizen with a slightly mollified air, "of course I may be mistaken in him. I wouldn't want to judge a man too hastily, and in other respects he struck me as a nice fellow.

Knowing that the president went in fear of his life and, unwilling to die a martyr in a cause not his own, the baron hurriedly explained, "I am not M. Thiers." "I know that you are not M.

In et SS words, the purchaser, W. O. Sim Ge sa eg eeee oab: ie Barca ieee k et ve The best way of raising corn for seed, as followed in the West, says C. W. Morrill in Tri-State Farmer, Is to Prepare a seed bed or testing ground ‘of from one to two acres far removed from other fields, To begin with, no ear should be used which is imperfect from which to select grains for the Seed crop, selecting such type of corn that you wish to grow, the work of selection should be followed year after Year, selecting the best ears that show ‘an improvement over previous years. Any plant that Is deficient In any re- quirement should not be allowed to de- ‘velop a tassel, and especially a barren stalk, 2 As to corn feeding, the seed plots should not suffer for want of plant food. From field experiments with fer- tilizers on corn in the West last year, on solls of average fertility, a higher per cent of potash than ordinary fer- tilizer contains gave remarkable re sults and would undoubtedly give sim- Mlar results on the average lands of Georgia, In Georgia last year were used more fertilizers with corn than Was ever used in years before, and with Proper fertilizers and more attention to the selection of seed, and intensive culture, there 1s no doubt or reason why the average yield of well-bred corn should not be Increased in the South, and especially Georgia. Storing Winter Apples. | Many growers must be reminded of the importance of getting fruit to stor: Age as promptly as possible after pick: Ing. TheJInited States Department of Agriculture has demonstrated that fruit deteriorates more in a few days between the time of leaving the trees and the time It reaches storage than It does In as many months of storage at 4 low temperature. It was formerly thought necessary to put apples in piles In the orchard, to “sweat,” but this has been shown to have been a mistake. Don't do this: but, on the contrary, send your apples to storage at once, in refrigerator cars, {t the weather is warm and the dis- tance Is great. Many of the best ap- ple handlers want thelr Yruit In storage before night of the day It is picked, It at all possible, and there is no doubt that they are right In regard to this— Western Fruit Grower. Wk@dedkéa os “takes Fourteen cows were subjected to the tuberculin test by the Wisconsin Sta: ‘tion and then dehorned. ‘The milk of ‘these cows, as regards yield and com: position, was compared with the milk of cows dehorned but not tuberculin tested, of cows tubercullu tested but not dehorned, and of cows nelther de- horned nor tuberculin tested, ‘The re- Sult showed on an average a decrease of about 8 per cent in the yield of milk for the frst few days after de- horning, but # loss of only about 2 per cent in the yteid of butter fat. De- horning, therefore, increased the fat content of the milk .027 per cent. These results are noted as being in accord with the results of Investigations at other experiment stations which are cited. The tuberculin test was appar- ently without effect upon milk secre- tion.

This feed trough. recently illustrated In Reliable Poultry Journal, is aubstan- f Burying them in the ground proves successful when other methods fail, provided every apple Is sound und free from blemish when harvested. The reason is that temperature in the ground or mound in which the apples are kept varles but little, ani they are always cool. The same results will be obtained if a cold and even tempera- ture can be secured in a cellar, Wintering Sheep, It Is true of all poor stock that It is never profitable, and it is especially true of sheep.

True, the land Hes just outside the city limits of the county seat, but It Is not to be ut into clty lots. It will be used for talsing fruit and vegetables. In other Words, the purchaser, W. 0. Simpson, expects to make the interest on his $500 land, and considerable profit be- sides, This shows what careful, intelligent farming and gardening will do. If Mr. Simpson can make money on his high- Priced land, need his neighbors on farms equally productive feel discour- Aged? We in thls country must prac- fice Intensive agriculture.

After many years of experimenting for the cure of hog cholera the De partment of Agriculture has worke¢ out a method which gives promise of being an effective remedy: The meth j cogreye in the injection of serum from the blood of an immune hog, afte: the tmmune has been treated ‘similarly with the serum from hogs affected with the disease, Dr. Marion Dorset, of the Bureau of Animal Industry, who has worked out the process, has had it patented in the name of the department and given the invention without price to the coun- try. In this way the possibility of any- one monopolizing the new treatment will be avoided. It is estimated that the money loss from hog cholera Feaches $15,000,000 annually. Shade wigs eas: wie” In the spring and summer, rye and clover are used for pastures until the pigs weigh about elghty-tive to 100 pounds. ‘Then barley is added until some early variety of int or sweet corn is ready. Only a small field of this last Is necessary, or an amount sufficlent to carry the pige until the field corn is denting. ‘Then the pigs are turned in small areas of the field corn at a time. until they are fat. By fencing in and using these crops In this order the cost of growing pigs is te- duced to a very low figure: We know of several farmers who are following this practice and are highly pleased with ft, Sate Corn Shredder. As the corn shredder bas killed and maimed a great many people, the be- Jow suggestion for reducing the danger of using them will be welcomed. A man who runs one of them says: “To unchoke shredders with safety to the feeder, take a croquet ball and aaw It in halves. Then bore a hole in the cen- ter of the flat side of one of these parts, through to the center of the oval side. Then insert the end of a broom handle 1m the hole, beginning at the Gat side. Fasten this with a wedge or nail. Keep | this tool in a convenient place, and when the machine clozs stir up the fodder with the ball end and all is right again. Try it.” Sistine Sales ea ‘The fattening value of grain depends largely upon the free oll or fat con tained in them, with their sugar starch, ete. One per cent of oil Is con. sidered equal to more than 2 per cent of sugar and starch.

Some people call Peruna a great tonic. Others refer to Peruna as @ great ¢atarrh remedy. ‘Which of these people are right? Is it more proper to call Peruna a catarrh ‘remedy than to call it a tonic? * Our reply is, that Peruna is both a tonic and a catarrh remedy. Indeed, ‘there can be no effectual catarrh remedy that is not also a tonic. In order to thoroughly relieve any case of catarrh, a remedy must not only ‘have a specific action on the mucous membranes affected by the catarrh, but it ‘must have a general tonic action on the nervous system. Catarrh, even in persons who are otherwise strong, is a weakened condition ‘of some mucous membrane, There must he something to strengthen the circu- lation, to give tone to the arteries, and to raise the vital forces. Perhaps no vegetable remedy in che world has attracted so much attention from medical writers as HYDRASTIS CANADENSIS. The wonderful efficacy of this herb has been recognized many years, and is growing in its hold upon the medical profession. When joined with CUBEBS and COPAIBA a trio of medi- cal agents is formed in Peruna which constitutes a specific remedy for catarrh that in the present state of medical progress cannot be improved upon. This action, reinforced by such renowned tonics as COLLINSONIA CANADENSIS, CORYDALIS FORMOSA and CEDRON SEED, onght to make this compound an ideal remedy for catarrh in all its stages and locations in the body. From a theoretical standpoint, therefore, Peruna is beyond criticism. The ‘use of Peruna confirms this opinion. Numberless testimonials from every quart- er of the earth furnish ample evidence that this judgment is not over enthusias- tie. When practical experience confirms a well grounded theory the result .is a truth that cannot be shaken. RHEUMATISM It is perfectly natural to rub the spot that hurts, and when the muscles, nerves, joints and bones are throbbing and twitching with the pains of Rheumatism the sufferer is apt to turn to the liniment bottle, or some other ‘external application, in an effort to get relief from the disease, by producing sounter-irritation oa the flesh. Such treatment will quict the pain tempo- rarily, but can have no direct curative effect on the real disease because it does not reach the blood, where the cause is located. Rheumatism is more than skin deep—it is rooted and grounded in the blood and can only be reached by constitutional treatment—IT CANNOT BE RUBBED AWAY. Trheumatism is due to an excess of uric acid in the blood, brought about by the accumulation in the system of refuse matter which the natural avenues ‘of bodily waste, the Bowels and Kidneys, have failed to carry off. ‘This refuse niatter, ccming in contact with the different acids of the body, forms uric acid which is absorbed into the blood and distributed to all parts of the body, and Rheumatism gets possession of the system. The aches and pains are only symptoms, and though they may be scattered or relieved for a tinie by surface treatment, they will reappear at the first exposure to cold or dampness, or after an attack of indigestion or other irregularity, Rheuma- tism can never be permanently cured while the circulation remains saturated with irritating, pain-producing uric acid poison. The disease will shift from muscle to muscle or joint to joint, settling on the nerves, causing inflammation and swelling and such terrible pains that the nervous system is often shattered, the health undermined, and perhaps the patient becomes deformed and crippled for life. S. S. S. thoroughly cleanses the blood and renovates the circulation by neutralizing the acids and expelling all foreign matter from thesystem, It warms and invigorates the blood so that instead of a weak, sour stream, constantly deposit- ing acrid and corrosive matter in the mus- cles, nerves, joints and bones, the body is fed and nourished by rich, health-sustaining e e @ blood which completely and permanently cures Rheumatism. S. S. S. is composed PURELY VEGETABLE of both purifying and tonic properties— just what is needed in every case of Rheu- matism. It contains no potash, alkali or other mineral ingredient, but is made entirely of purifying, healing extracts and juices of roots, herbs and barks, If you are suffering from Rheumatism do not waste valuable time trying to rub a blood disease away, but begin the use of S.
