The treasury department has just published a aeriea of tables showing the remarkable increase in American cotton production and coincidental fad in price. Since 1872 tbe United States has more than quadruped her produc tion of cotton, end during tbe same period tbe price has fallen to about 000-loortb what it was in that year. Io 1871 tbe cotton crop of the United States was 1,348,084,000 pounds, with an average price of 2219 cents a pound; io 1898 tbe crop io reported at 5,667,000.000 pounds, with an average price of 623 cents a pound. During tbo same period cotton manufactured into prists fell from 788 cents per yard to 2 17 cents While this enormous increase was taking place in America there waa no , decrease m any part of tbe world. In 1871 onr country produced 70 per cent of tbo solton of the world; today it produces 85 per coot of tbo world. It 1 is very apparent from those figures that ths cotton supply has increased out of ratio with tbe increase in popu lotion and consuming power, and tbwrotore we need look no further for an explanation of tbe low price pre vailing today.—Forsyth Chronicle ‘ " "'■* " < Buckles’s Arnica Salve- THE BEST SALVE in the world for Cuts, Bruises, Bone, Ulcers, Salt Rheum Fever Sores, Tetter, Chapped Hands, Chilblains, Corns, and all Skin Eruptions, and positively cures Piles, or no pay re quired.

It kas always held the record securely, but the claim paid by the compa ny upon a policy issued to Mr. Mark Banks, of Connecticut, the particulars of which are given here, shows that THE MUTUAL LIFE has in this in stance eclipsed all previous dividend results: The dividends amounted to Paid to the estate • 028.00 How does this happen? Mr. Banks paid all the premiums in cash, and he did this for fifty-four years. He did not utilize any portion of the divi dends in payment of premiums, but permitted the Company to invest these for his benefit. Here are the particulars: Policy No. , ’ • Age 40. Annual premium, $l6O. Life Plan. Originalinaurance in 1845 • Dividend additions paid in 1898, ..WJJXMO Amount of death claim 54 Premiums paid by insured Realized to estate over premiums paid $8,888.00 Being nearly equal to a return of all the premiums paid with two and a halt (W cent, compound interest per annum, with insurance increasing annually from so,wv at age 40, to $17,028 at age 94. The dividend additions paid to the estate were 139 per cent, of all the premiums paid for the insurance. Mr- Mark Banka was the treasurer and cashier of the Greenwich Savings Bank, and died at the good old age of ninety-four. He appreciated the power of compound interest, and his wisdom is exemplified by the result of his method of investment —a result that has never been equalled by a policy holder in any other company in the world.

A Prominent Pbyalelan. A prominent New York physician in discussing the merits of Ki pans Tabulee with a brother M. D. said: “ Several yean ago I asserted that if one wished to become a philan thopist, and do a beneficent deed— one that would help the whole hu man race - nothing could be better than to procure the Roosevelt Hos pital prescription, ohtirA w t)u baiit »ftJu Kifoot TaWtt, and cause it to be put up in the form of a ketehup ana distributed among the poor.’’ Salos Inereaalnc. The largest retail drug store In America is that of Hegeman & Co. on Broadway in New York Qty. A reporter wto went there to learn how Ripens Tab ules were sailing bought a five-cant carton and asked: “Do you have much oall for these?” He waa referred m^^to’be’the head of the depart- ment. He said: ” The vale of Ripens Tabules is constant and is increasing, due oPttetartimenials in the daily press, and growing out of there, through the recommendation .of friend to friend. Satiafacticn with them is very general When once they are begun I notice that a perms-mt customer for them is made. This, 1 believe, to through their intrinsic merit, which proves the bona fide characterof the advertising. I think them specially useful in the general run of stomach troubles.” nSlSrn) vrffl be mm for eve can M oomo gr-rnrajiSiaiil taraw era. An Elderly Lady. An elderly lady living at Fordham Heights, a part of New York Qty, and who was known to be a warm advocate of Ripans Tabules for any case of liver trouble or indigestion, said toareporter who visited ner for the purpose of learning the particu lars of her case: “ I had always employed a physician and did so on the last occasion I had for one, but at that time obtained no beneficial re-Tilts. I had never had any faith in patent medicines, but having seen Ripans Tabules recommended very highly in the New York Herald con cluded to give them a trial, and found thev were just what my care demanded. I have never employed a physician since, and that means a r OR FIVE [KWANS GIVES tere who speduly objected to their mother giving a testimonial which should parade her name in the newspapers, but to do this the elder lady argued: “There may brother cases just like mine, ana I am sure I take great pleasure in recommending the Tabules to any one afSicted as I was. If the telling about my case in the papers enables some other person similarly affected to be aa greatly benefited as I have been, laeenoobjecticQ.” The daugh ters, knowing bow earnestly she felt about ti>e benefit she had received, deaided she was quite rigfrt saving of $2 a call.
