AXew York student or political eeon. tuny and social science says; “Let us agree that the sum each of us may hold shall be limited to $2,000,000.” We are not disposed to quarrel over a little thing like that; but such an agreement would be sure to work great hardship to many o f the new spaper boys. A .New fork clergyman trunks he has found a Biblical rebuke to flirting In Proverbs x.. 10: "He that wiuketh with the eyes causes sorrow.” But how about “she” that winketh? And what proof ls there that this text wasn't aimed at the soda fountain? It Is announced that Minister Wood¬ ford will wear full military uniform while in Spain. This evidently is done for the purpose of overawing the Duke of Veragua in case he should make trouble about Tom Palmer's relief fund of $1.67. That Everlasting: Irritating Itch. That describes Tetter, Eczema and Other skin fliseases. 50 cents will cure them - stop the itch once. 50 cents pays for a box of Tetterine at drug stores or postpaid for 50 cents in stamps from J. T. Shuptrine, Savannah, Ga. The Emporia (Kan.) Republican thus Bets an erring contemporary right: “We deny the allegation made by an en¬ vious exchange that the Emporia lire department was burned out while the firemen were playing ‘seven-up.' The game was ‘high-five.’ ” Let the truth of history be preserved. Montgomery Ward& Co. We call the reader’s attention to the ad¬ vertisement of Montgomery Ward & Co., of Chicago, which appears in our display col¬ umns. Montgomery Ward & Co., are the or¬ iginators of the mail order system of doing business, and have the largest business of its character in the world. They employ 1,000 clerks, own the buildings they occupy, .<**),000 carry a stock of goods representing over $1 in money, and receive from 6,000 to 16,OW letters and orders every day. and They everything sell everything sola one can wear or use, is on the guarantee that it will be found as rep¬ resented, or the purchaser can exchange for other goods, or have his money refunded, as he prefers. Knowing the high character of the firm, we have no hesitancy in saying that what they promise to do, they will do, and that they are thoroughly reliable in every way. London Itcis an area of 688 square miles. Greater New York will have an area of 850 square miles. Deafness Cannot Be Cured bv local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There Is constitu¬ only one way to cure deafness, and that is by tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in¬ flamed condition of the mucous lining of tho Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets in¬ flamed you have a rumbling sound entirely or imper¬ closed fect S hearing, and when it is Deafness i~ the result, and unless the inflam¬ mation can be taken out and this tube re¬ stored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Niue cases out of ten are oaused by catarrh, which is nothing but an in¬ flamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that can¬ not be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. F. J. Ciieney & Co., Toledo, 0.

THE CHIEF THING In Maintaining Good Health is Pure, Rich, Nourishing Blood. The blood carries nourishment and lurn Ishes support for tho organs, nerves and muscles. It must be made rich aud pure if you would have strong nerves, good digestion, sound sleep, or it you would be rid of that tired feeling, those dls agreeable pimples, eczema, or scrofula. No medicine is equal to Hood’s Sarsapa¬ rilla for purifying tho blood. It is a med¬ icine of genuine merit and will do you wonderful pood. Try it now. Hood’s Palis The Wonder of lhe Century !

New Jersey spent $5,387,557.42 for educational purposes last year—about in f 2 for each man, woman and child the State. Of the amount $3,029,777. 91 was for the salaries of the teach¬ ers. According to a writer in I he pendent, only four of the States of the Union use officially the term C'om mon wealth, these being Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Ken tucky. That army chaplaincies continue to be very alluring to the clerical mind is indicated by the fact that nearly three hundred ministers applied to the Fed¬ eral Government for appointment occurred. to a single vacancy that recently In India hoarding is the universal method of providing for the future, and one authority says that the stores of the natives in' the shape of coin and ornaments amount to as much as $1,250,000,000. Seattle, in the new State of Wash¬ ington, is seeing its great oppont,unity Klondike in the excitement over the gold discoveries, and is availing it¬ self of it. Enthusiastic citizens pre¬ dict a population of a hundred thous¬ and for the town before the close of 1898. A Californian with a wooden leg has Btart.ed for the Alaska gold fields, and proposes to tramp over the Chilkoot. Pass alone. Well, he is fifty per cent, better off than many who will make the trip, opines the Chicago Times Herald. He has only one foot to freeze. In the United States the yield of cotton is worth about 400 millions dollars, hay 430, dairy products 250, poultry and eggs 560, and we export more or less of everything but the latter. We eat all our eggs and chick¬ ens at home, and then call for more from abroad. The Galveston News notes ns a sin¬ gular fact in view of its State’s im¬ mense herds of cattle, that Texas im¬ ports from other States much of the butter it uses. Some of its citizens are now laboring to procure tlie estab¬ lishment of creameries and cheese factories there. A sinister prediction comes from Vienna. Professor Falb announces that on November 13, 1899, a comet will striketheenrth. The calculations of the meteorologist are not yet suffi¬ ciently complete to inform the world whether the violence of the shock will reduce the planet to dust, or whether it will be enveloped in an atmosphere of poisonous gas, which will kill all living beings. In Shelbyville, Ind., the other day, i con-table wlgo called to serve a writ f widow scalded with ket¬ upon a was a tleful of hot water, and ran away so rapidly that he entirely forgot that he had suffered for twenty years with chronic rheumatism which would scarcely permit him to walk. The hot water cure seems to be • effective, but it may be a little too severe for the average sufferer. Hans Wiseman, a famous Nebraska pioneer, discounts the ordinary dime novel hero, for he is said to have killed in the course of his life 50 0 or more Indians. He now lives near Harring ton, Xeb., and is about 80 years old, but he is still hale and hearty. About thirty-five years ago, when Wiseman was serving in the army, the Indians murdered his five children, and for years no red man dared come within range, of Wiseman’s rifle. The Atlanta Constitution is respon sible for the statement that duelling became a dead letter m Georgia be cause the farmers of the State suffered 80 much that they banded togetlmr against it and stamped it out I he barn doors and window shutters were seriously wounded by the duellists, wko never would pay for repairs, and many fine Georgia cows were slain by * -'»»»»< «•** Baltimore’s Board of Health has jggued orders that will stop the mad dog craze. It commands the police to apply a ligature above the bile and “then try to suck the poison from the wound with the mouth, care being taken, of course,Jthat your This, own lips de are not chapped or cut.” clares the Xew York Press, will put ^ eri( j effectively to the mania pecu ' iar to policeman to shoot every dog as mad which may be tortured into bidng 8omebody . The wives of three well known citi Z ens of Fort Scott, Kau.—for the first time in the history of the State—have been drawn to serve upon the jury, Unless the court excuses them, they : will be obliged to deliberate with the other talesmen regarding testimony which may not be pleasant for them to hear Under the law of Kansas eligible all taxuavers for' who are electors are jury service. The women there vote in municijial elections. Jury I service is certainly not m-j of ! most desirable results of t’ agitation for women’s rights. j tte ^ an Francisco Chronicle: MftSfiacJlU setts people who wish to Hee birds protected are much exercised over the failure of the authorities to *o*foree the recent law making itan of- fense to use certain kinds of for millinery purposes. If the Police Commissioners do their duty, then mj woman will dare to go out with feath ers of any kind in her hat, unless it be the plumage of ducks or geese; not will any dealer consent to sell birds 01 feathers. The enforcement of the measure will probably result in some lmmoroHS incidents in court, for the experts are divided in regard to the legality of the statute. In the opinion of the Boston Trav¬ eler there is coming a day when the canned fruit industry will cease to be an enormous moneymaking enter¬ prise, and the few who are now be¬ ginning to see the future of a business dealing with dried fruits w ill be multi¬ millionaires. And the best of it will be that the profit of it will not be wholly with the dealers. Dried fruit sells at about half the price that canned fruit commands, and it will go five times farther. When such a reason will not appeal to a house keeper the fact that it is superior to canned goods on account of the mod ern prooesse s will make some im pression. In California they have learned to prepare prunes so well that large quantities are shipped to France, the home of the prune, while Califor¬ nia raisins have practically driven for¬ and eign raisins out of the market, thousands of pounds of apricots and pears go to Europe. A remarkable feature of Queen Vic¬ toria’s reign is the great number of wars, “little and big,” that have marked its progress. Scarcely a twelve-month has passed without finding a war in some part of the world. Here is an interesting list of the principal campaigns: Afghan war, 1838-40; first Chine, 1 *? war, 1841; Sikh war, 1845-G; Kaffir war, 1856; second war with China, second Afghan war, 1849, second Sikh war, 1848-49; Burmese war, 1850; second Kaffir war, 1851-52; second Burmese war, 1852-53; Crimea, 1854; third war with China, 1856-58; Indian mutiny, 1857; Maori war, 1860-61; more wars with China, 1860 and 1862; second Maori war, 1863-66; Ashantee war, 1864; war in Bootan, 1864; Abyssinian war, 1867- 68 ; war with Bazotees, 1868; third Maori war, 1868-69; war with Loo sliasis, 1871; Zulu war, ’878-79; third Afghan war, 1878-80; war in Basuto¬ land, 1879-81; Transvaal war, 1879-81; Egyptian war, 1882; Zanzibar, 1890; Matabele wars, 1894 and 1896; Chitral campaign, 1896; third Ashantee cam¬ paign, 1896;second Soudan campaign, 1896. “There, is a strong sentiment in oui part of the State foifa division of Cali¬ fornia so as to give Southern said Califor¬ nia seperate Statehood ” J. N. Hazard, of Los Angeles, Cal., recent¬ ly. “This desire arises fi i im no fric¬ tion or jealousies between the two ends of the Commouw it. and least of all is it based on -uy scheme to give From the politicians additional spoils the public crib. It isn’t politi¬ cal greed or the outgrowth of ill-feel¬ ing, but arises purely from economic necessities. In the southern part u’e feel the need of a State government of our own. We have in Teality but little in common with the northern end. Our interests are quite as distinct from that section as they are from Ore¬ gon, and we are financially and iudus trially as independent . , as Oregon. „ XIT We also have a new population that distinct from the population of -Northern California aunt is from New York.
