Dr. Miles' Heart Cure
Effected Cure.
Heart disease is curable, but in people of
advanced age it does not readily lend itself
to ordinary -treatment. There is, however,
■hope for all sufferers in Dr. Miles’ Heart
Cure, which we know from watch'-ig hun
dreds of cases and from the letters of grateful
sufferers, will cure where all else has failed.
It is not only a wonderful cure for weak and
diseased hearts, but it is. a blood tonic, a reg
ulator of the heart’s action and the most
effective treatment ever formulated for im
proving the circulation of the blood.

A Cotton Famine Apprehended.
Savannah News.
It seems that the cotton spinners
of EGrope are apprehensive of a cot
ton famine, and are going to hold a
conference to consider the matter.
What is it that they propose t£ do?
It is true, of. course, that many of
the cotton mills of England, France
and Russia have had to shut down
because of the inability to get cot
ton at a price which would enable
them to run at a profits In fact, it
is safe to say that the supply of cot
ton is short. But what can a con
ference do about it?
Probably it is the purpose of the
spinners to pass a resolution con
demning cotton speculators for cor
nering cotton. That would be in
teresting, but would not prevent the
speculators from trying to corner
cotton another season, or from edn-
tinning their tactics tpr cornering it
during the remainder of the present
season.
Perhaps it is the intention of the
Bpinners to encourage the produc
tion of cotton in Asia, Africa and
South America with the hope of re
leasing themselves from dependence
upon this country for their supply of
raw material. A considerable amount
of ootton is produced in countries
other ohan the United States, but,
as a matter of fact, experiments in
its cultivation, except in India and
Egypt, have not been very success
ful, and there is no particular reason
for thinking they would be at this
time if undertaken. In the civ il war
period, when Europe was starving,
as it were for cotton, the efforts to
cultivate it in various parts of the
world where it had not been pro
duced in paying quantities were ■per
sistent, but they did nbt amount to
muph.
There does not seem to be much
reason for the apprehension of a cot
ton famine whioh European spinners
have. The crop in this country is
late, but it would not be surprising
if it should be an average one. With
favorable weather from now until
the erop is praotically gathered, the
yield probably would be sufficient to
meet the demand, though the r chanc-
ob are that the prioes will be a little
higher than spinners will care to
pay.
The proceedings of the proposed
conference will be watched with
about as much interest in this coun
try as they will in Europe. Ootton
is this countrj’s great export crop,
and anything which relates to it is
of interest to the whole country.

The city of Venice, is located on
117 small islands, separated by 150
canals. These canals are connected
by 400 bridges. There are no high
ways, and but few sidewalks. The
oitizens pass through the streets of
Venice in small boats, called gondo
las. There are, of course, no teams
or trolleys in the city. Venice is two

Tne Decay of the Darning-Needle.
New York World.
Our latest foreign critic, the Par
isian journalist, M. Huret, misses
the point when he seeks to prove
that there is no country where “peo
ple are less economical and work
harder than in the United States”
by adding:
“In France-one sees all over the
streets the sign ‘Repairing Done
Here/ In the United States they
do no repairs. When clothes, shoes
or furniture have served their time
they are thrown away. Machines
ten years old are sold for old iron;
houses, are torn down to make room
for more modern ones.”
M, Huret must be more familiar
with Broadway, where buildings are
indeed torn down amazingly, than
with our humbler streets, where
shoes and clothing are repaired in a
manner to make even Paris marvel.
Yet it is true that there are fewer
people here than in France,who
wear darned and patched clothing.
They are. not therefore extravagant.
Wages are higher in proportion to
the cost of clothing than on the
continent, and- a neat and prosper
ous appearance is a business econo
my tending to efficiency.
The art of the domestic darning-
needle languishes largely because of
our economies in manufacture. There
are socks and stockings too cheap to
darn. The familiar example on the
man’s side is the oarpenter, wh,o
does not pick up the nail he has
dropped because the time lost in
doing so costs more than the nail.
Mr. Huret might call that “slack.”
It is really thrift.
So with machinery. Almost the
sole reason why Europe has in many
lines lagged behinp America is the
way they have clung to over there
of dignifying old iron by the name
of “machinery.” In America, a ma
chine becomes “scrap” when anoth
er is invented to do the work better,
be the time ten years or two. In
this respect, as in our utilization of
“by-produots” in large-scale manu
facture, the Americans are the
teachers of the world in economy.
Again, a modern American building
reared upon the site of a smaller one
is a better machine for earning or
saving rents,
Lamentable extravagance we have,
but a closer search would reveal it
in what Mr. Gilder calls the “brutal
display of unsocial luxury,” not in
the decay of the darning-needle or
the size of the scrap-fieap. And in
this respect it is not clear that “they
do these things better in Paris.”

A Successful Writer:
A hewsper writer, who has recent
ly come to this city from the west,
was made a member of the Pen and
Pencil Olub, says the Philadelphia
Ledger. He is a bright chap, and
is known to be successful as a writer.
His financial success is also acknowl
edged. An old member who seldom
visits the club dropped in the other
night, just as the hew member was
leaving.
“Who is that?” he asked of one of
his friends.
“Oh, he’s all right,” replied the
other; “makes heaps of money writ
ing?”
( “Sol” said the other. “What does
he write—verses, novels, plays?”
“Gad, What do you take him-
for—an amateur? No, sir; he writes
adver’tiefements.”
