A YOUNG LADY’S LIFE SAVED At, Pa no ma, Colombia, by Chamber lain's Colic, Cholera uNcl Diar rhoea Remedy. Dr. Chas. H. Utter, a prominent physician of Panama, Colombia, in a recent letter 9ays: “Last March I had as a patient a young lady sixteen $m£& of age, who had a very bad attack of dysentery. Kveiything I prescribed for her proved ineffectual and she was growing worse every hour, Her parents were sure she would die. She had become so weak that she could not. turn over in bed. What to do at this critical moment was a study for me, but I thought of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, and as a laBt resort prescribed it. The most wonderful result was effected. Within eight hours she was feel ing much better; inside of three days she was upon her feet and at. the end of one week was entirely well-.” For sale by all dealers in Perry, Warren & Lowe, Byron. — Girls are gradually becoming convinced that it is easier to love a rich man than a poor one.

The census bureau has issued a bulleatin giving the condition of agriculture in the United States for the year 1900. It shows that there were at that time 5,789,657 farms in the entire county, which were valued at $16,674,694,257. Of this amount $8,560,198,191, or over 21 per cent, represented the value of buildings, and $18,114,- 492,056, or over s 78 per cent, rep resented the value of lands and improvements other than buildh- ings. The value of farm implements and machinery was $761,261,550, and of live Block $8,078,060,041. These values added to the value of the farms gives a total value of farm property amounting to $20,- 614,001,888. The total value of farm pro ducts for the year 1899 is given at $4,789,118,752, of which amount $1,718,990,221 was for animal products, including live stock, poultry and bee products. The bulletin places the aver age size of farms in the United States at 146 acres, and it is stat ed that 49 per c§nt of the farm land is improved. The total acre age for the entire country was 841,801,546. The number of farms in the United States has increased in every decade for the last 60 years, and so rapidly that in 1900 there were nearly four times as many farms as in 1850, and 25 percent more than in 1890. The total acreage of farm land also has in creased, but up to 1880 less rapid ity than the number of farms, thus involving a steady decrease in the average Bize of farms. Since 1880, however, the total acreage has increased more rapidly than the number of farms, so that the average size of farms has increas ed. The total area of improved land has increased in every de cade since 1860. A comparison by states indi cates that the most important states in the agriculture of the country are, beginning at the west, Missouri, Iowa, Illinois, In diana, Ohio, Pennsylvania and North Carolina. Together they contribute 44 per cent of the to tal value of the farm property and 88 per cent of the total value of farm products. Texas leads with the greatest number of farms, 852,190, and also with the highest acreage, 125,807,017. But only a little over 15 percent of the farm land in Texas was improved, and the value of farm land in Texas was less than in Pennsylvania, Ohio, New York, MisBsouri, Iowa or Illinois, being $962,476,278. Missouri ranks second in the numher of farms, having 284,886. Other states having over 200,000 are: Alabama, 228,820; Georgia, 284,690; Illinois, 265,151; : Indi ana, 221,897; Iowa, 228*622; Ken tuoky, 221,66T; Michigan, 208,- 261; Mississippi, 220,808; New York, 226,720; North Carolina, 224,687; Ohio, 276,719; Pennsyl vania, 224,248; Tennessee, 224,- 628. Iowa leads the list in the percentage of improved farm lands, more than 86 per cent of the farm lands of that state being improved. Illinois follows with more than 84 por oent; Ohio comes next with 78 per oent, and is followed by Indiana, with more than 77 per ceut. Illinois occu pies the first position in the mat ter of the total value of farm lands, the figures for that state being $2,004,816,897. Other state values are: Tennessee, $841,202,025; Texas, $962,476,278; Virginia, $828,515, 977. The live stock farm lands of the country are put down at a value of $7,605,284,273, or more than 86 per cent of the whole; the hay and grain lands at $6,879,648,548, or 81 per cent of the whole; dairy products over 8 per cent; cotton over 5 per cent. There are 512 coffee, farms in-the country, valu ed at $1,982,915. Cures Rheumatism. Uricsol cares Rheumatism and all Bladder and Kidney troubles caused by urio acid.

Ploughing with Elephants. Joel Beuton, in the August Century ft may be said of P. T. Barnum that he was the Majordomo or Lord of Laughter . and Fun, the j protean Dispenser of Amusement. | How w«U he became known through this function one curi ous incident certifies. Some years before he died, an obscure person in some remote part of Asia wrote a letter, which he dropped in the post-office near him, directed to “Mr. Barnum, America.” The letter reached its destination without an hour’s delay. The great showman unaffectedly en joyed being known from the very beginning of his celebrity; and when he found his celebrity was a tremendous factor in his success, he did everything he could think of to extend the exploitation of his name. This was not to nour ish vain imaginings or because he felt exalted; it was to promote business. Around his successive homes at Bridgeport, Connecticut, he was fond of putting something that suggested a show. Queerly mark ed cattle, the sacred cow, or an elephant, were frequently among the stock to be noticed in his fields. On one occasion he had an elephant ongaged in ploughing on the sloping hill where it could plainly be seen by the passengers on the New Haven and Hartford railroad, an agricultural innova tion that he knew would get no tice of some sort in every newspa per in the country. It was even said that he received letters from farmers far and wide asking how much hay one elephant ate, and/ if it was more profitable to plough with an elephant than horses or oxen.* His replies were invariably frank, and were of this purport: If you have a large mu seum in New York, and a great railway sends trains full of pas-* Bengers within eyeshot of tins per formance, it will pay, and pay well; but if you have no such in stitution, then horses or oxen will prove more economical.

The committee appointed by the Georgia bar association to de vise ways and means for relieving the supreme court of its alleged burden of overwork will recom mend the passage of an act taking away the right of appeal to the supreme court iu all cases where the amount involved is under $500, except in certain cases such as criminal, divorce, equity, ha beas corpus and other cases of like nature, where appeal is often necessary. ‘ This is an injustice. It is very possible and probable that a poor man’s all may not amount to more than $500 and yet be in volved in a lawsuit. Should the lower court err he will have no recourse, but must submit to its verdict, should the recommenda tion of the bar become a law. As a matter of fact, the man who has $500 involved in a lawsuit is just as much entitled to full and free justice as one with $5,000. The step recommended displays discrimination and rank favorit ism, and should not be allowed to become a law.—Dawson News.

His whole life is regulated by the de mands of the business. The time at which he rises, his breakfast hour, the time given to meals, are all determined by business obliga tions. He rushes through lunch because he “can’t spare the time from business” to eat leisurely. He won’t take a rest because he is needed at the store or office. He is in fact an absolute slave to bus iness. The results which follow this slavery are to be seen on every hand. Men dyspeptic, irri table, nervous with drawn faces, and hollow eyes, sit at the desk or stand behind the counter until they collapse in a fit of sickness, or are taken away by heart fail ure.
