The American Farmer the Best In the World.
The American farmer is the greatest man
in the world to-day because he is master of
the soil he is graining in intelligence quite
as rapidly as his products are increasing m
magnitude. Our recent combines of capital
in United States measured in money are
enormous, yet such figures sink into insig
nificance when compared to the money,
brain and brawn invested m agricultural
industries. For instance, the farmers ol
Minnesota and Dakota have received $300,
000,000 for their products in a single year.
The farmer knows what Nature will bring
forth for him from his experience in the
past He knows if certain seeds are
planted and properly cared for that Nature
will take care of the rest. In the same
way you are masier of vour own destiny.
Providing your blood is in good order, it
only needs a little effort on your own part
to keep healthy and strong nd your body
of the poisons that are apt to accumulate
and your system is ready to ward off the
attack of the germs of disease. Dr. Pierce s
Golden Medical Discovery makes rich red
blood by increasing the number of red
blood corpuscles. There is no alcohol in
this great tonic to shrivel up the red blood
corpuscles. As an alterative extract, made
only of herbs and roots it goes about its
work in nature's way. It stimulates the
liver into proper action, and feeds the
worn-out nerves, stomach and heart on
pure blood. Used for over a third of a
century it has sold more largely than any
other blood medicine in the United States.
More bottles of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery are sold to-day than ever before
that isatme test of its medicinal value after
thirty-eight years of deserved popularity.

The Courr of "Judge Lynch."
Lynching at the present time is pe
culiar to the United States. In the
older countries of Europe, where the
government is well organized and jus
tice in a measure sure, the court of
"Judge Lynch" is unknown, although
in parts of Russia horse thieves are
summarily dealt with by the peasants.
The probable origin of lynch law Is
attributed by Professor Cutler of
Wellesley college in a recent history of
"this rude American justice" to cus
toms Imported from Ireland. He notes
that the summary punishment for
crimes without the intervention of
judge and jury was first generally
practiced in America by Scotch-Irish
settlers, who instituted in their new
homes the means of maintaining order
and good behavior with which they
were familiar in the old country.
Professor Cutler also considers the
"Vehmic courts," or vigilant commit
tees, of ancient Germany and the "Lyd
ford law" In a section of England,
whereby they "first hanged a man and
then Indicted him." He shows by
documents and letters that punishment
by flogging or ducking or tarring and
feathering or riding on a rail, with a
warning to quit the neighborhood, was
common among tories and loyalists
during the Revolutionary war. Orig
inally lynching did not end In death.
Its name appears to have been de
rived from Charles Lynch of Bedford
county, Va., who, without a Judicial
commission, held in the latter part of
the eighteenth century a court for dis
pensing summary justice. The name
is now applied indiscriminately to all
manner of summary punishment with
out legal process.
The author states that there never
was a time, from the Revolution down
to the civil war, when lynching was
not availed of in various parts of the
country where in the absence of laws
and courts it appeared necessary as a
means of protection. In times of po
litical and social excitement lynching
has been most frequently resorted to,
and special laws on the subject have
proved of little avail. It Is claimed by
conservative spokesmen of the south
that the evil is righting itself there as
rapidly as can reasonably be expected
and that it is likely to be completely
suppressed within the next twenty
years.

Mouev Scattered Abroad
Experts on foreign exchange declare
that for the last five years an average
mro th.m SIOO.000,000 has been
i""
spent abroad each year by America
tourists. Fully 150,000 tourists, 11 is
believed, will cross the Atlantic east-
1 r,!c ooncrm find the cost of the
vacations of these American wander
era will amount to at least $1,000
apiece, or a total of $150,000,000.
About one-fourth of the tourists'
cation money is paid out in ocean
fares, of which a portion finds its way
back into American coffers in various
ways. The average tourist, it Is said
hv exDerts. spends abroad three times
the cost of his round trip ticket across
the Atlantic. This would give an aver
age expenditure abroad per tourist
S7?n or a total for the whole army
travelers of $112,000,000 actually dis
tributed on foreign soil. This is
most sufficient to defray the United
States pension list for one year. Doubt
less there are reasons for regretting
that manv of those who travel to Eu
rope year after year do not invest their
money in learning to know something
of their own couutry and its people
beyond the districts where they hap
Tr. to hnvfi their homes. Since the
f-" - -
monev will go abroad, It is some com.
fort to know that any American who
travels in Europe with his eyes open
for anything aside from mere amuse
ment returns, as a rule, a better
imprinn than he went away. When
he has really seen what life at its best
is without American ideals and Instl
tutions, he comes back with the feel
lng that the land of his birth is good
enough for him.

Iraomna Pains
2825 Keeley St.,
Chicago, III., Oct,, 2, 1902.
I suffered with falling and con
gestion of the womb, with severe
pains through the groins. 1 suf
fered terribly at the time of men
struation, had blinding headaches
and rushing of blood to the brain.
What to try I knew not, for it
seemed that I had tried all and
failed, but I had never tried Wine
of Cardni, that blessed remedyfor
sick women. I found it pleasant
to take and soon knew that I had
the right medicine. New blood
seemed to course through my veins
and after using eleven bottles I
waa a well woman.
Sirs. Busk is now in perfect
health because she took Wine of
Cardui for menstrual disorders,
bearing down pains and blinding
headaches when all other remedies
failed to bring her relief. Any
sufferer may secure health by tak
ing Wine of Cardui in her home.
The first bottle convinces the pa
tient she is on the road to health.

Spaniards For Cuban Cane Fields.
Cuba's wholesale Importation of
Spaniards from the old country has no
political significance, according to the
agriculturist authorities of the Island,
but is wholly due to the scarcity of la
borers for the sugar plantations. Dur
ing the season now ending much of the
cane was lost for lack of field hands
to attend to it. Planters have become
anxious about next season and have
urged the government to pass laws cal
culated to encourage Immigration.
Workmen from the northern sections
of Spain are sought by the Cuban
planters because they are best adapt
ed for the climate. They stand the
work and are more law abiding and
peaceful than Immigrants from other
lands. They come empty handed and
are content to toil and take humble
fare. Recently large proprietors have
been enlarging and improving their es
tates, and increased production brings
on a serious labor problem, with
threats of a famine, unless workmen
are speedily imported.
Activity and Heart Failure.
During one week recently there were
125 deaths from heart failure In New
York city. The health commissioner
of the city attributed this remarkable
record to "high finance" and "high liv
ing." High living need not always be
interpreted as high feeding. The pace
that kills is often simply a matter of
overstrenuousness. The heart will
stand a good deal of pounding before it
will give out. It has been pierced with
bullet and bayouet, removed, cleansed
and replaced and its wounds sewed up
without destrovine its functions. But
there is a limit.
City people above all others are wed
ded to the notion that change is rest.
Yet it often happens that there is no
real rest in anything that demands ef
fort, physical or mental. A city man
drives his heart at the office all day
and drives it at the club or in society
until midnight or later. A man who
lives naturally needs no instruction as
to the rest he should take when his vi
tality has been depleted to such extent
that the physical and mental forces
are both affected. He feels that he
cannot either walk, stand up or sit
up. He lies down, not to read or to
think, but to rest all over. That Is
the change his system demands and
the only change which will refresh him
and bring forth a new man. Simple
life is treated as a Joke because it is
uninteresting, but the other kind has Its
dangers, and heart failure is one of
them.

Persons wearing dirty clothes are
warned by a sign at the gate to keep
out of the botanical gardens at Syd
ney, Australia. "We don't want a la
boring man to come here in his work
ing clothes," a- keeper explains. "We
want him to go home and put on clean
clothes and bring his family here look
lng neat and clean and have a good
time. That makes the surroundings
more cheerful for everybody concern
ed." Candidly -the "unwashed" man
would find himself very much out of
place and decidedly uncomfortable in
a holiday crowd.
A writer in the current number of
the Engineering Magazine suggests
that the Niagara cataract may be pre
served and yet allow the river to be
utilized by developing the water power
of the whirlpool rapids below the falls.
From the foot of the cataract, this
writer says, to Lewiston. five miles
downstream, the river descends 100
feet and develops 2,500,000 horsepower,
which would provide all the energy
that could be utilized within 300 miles
of the falls in the next half century at
least.

A new industry in the region at the
head of the lakes is the gathering of
the tree stumps for use in the Maine
shipyards. A large number of wooden
ships are built every year, and it has
been found that the most efficient cor
ner braces are those made from these
stumps, and hundreds are shipped east
every day. The roots of the trees and
a short section of the stump are used
In making the braces, snd stumps from
trees about a foot in diameter are
found to be the best. The stump is
taken from the ground and roughly
hewn into shape before being shipped.
After its receipts at the shipyards it
is made into a perfect brace. The cost
of a carload of the stumps is close to
$400, and the freight charges run over
$100 a car. Milwaukee Sentinel
Gomez Won Honor Among Strangers.
Although Santo Domingo was the
birthplace of the late Maximo Gomez,
free Cuba can honor him as her own,
for his life was given to her libera
tion. The best part of his manhood
was passed on the island, except for
long intervals of exile, forced upon him
in punishment of his political activity.
It was not solely the fighting career
of Gomez which gave him the title of
liberator. In the troublous times fol
lowing Intervention by the United
States the unselfishness of the old sol
dier, coupled with his broad views of
the needs of the state, helped to bring
about the present promising condition
of Cuba. His personal influence in the
coming national election was counted
upon as a deciding force in the re-elec
tion of President Palma.
An American student who is getting
a higher education at Oxford on
Rhodes scholarship declares that he
finds the English student at Oxford
vastly better read and better prepared
for a broadly intellectual life than the
American scholar. The reason given
is one that our educators may ponder
over and Is to the effect that the pre
paratory school system of this country
is so conducted as to give a boy
smattering of everything, but no strong
foundation for later endeavor. In Eng
land, on the contrary, elementary edu
cation is iimple, but solid.
The statement from the United

TI10 SiioriiEK' Habit.
Sir Thomas Dewsir in recounting his
impressions of this country says he
was especially impressed with the uni
versal interest taken by Americans in
all sorts of contests. In illustrating
this characteristic he tells of seeing a
ragged newsboy oue cold afternoon
with his eyes glued on the display in a
baker's window. Sir Thomas slipped
a dime into the little fellow's hand.
The boy exclaimed: "Say, if dis ain't
luck. I've been wishin' for a rent and
you gimme a dime." "What did you
want the cent for?" asked Sir Thomas.
"I wuz goiu to buy an extra to see
what won. I've a dollar on d'e third

A Revival of Beaaty Patches.
There was another threatened re
vival of the beauty snot or patch. That
we shall never go the length of wear
ing a miniature coach and horses on
our faces or a figure of the devil is
quite certain. But the reiutroduetion
of the round spot, or even the small
star, would not find many opponents.
It is certain that moderation in the
use of the spot does tend to a certain
enhancing of the natural beauty.

Ancestors of the Phonograph.
Wendell Phillips long ago exploited
the idea that some ancient inventions
still remain lost to modern engineers
and scientists. When he spoke the
nhonoaraph had not been discovered
Recently a French scholar, Edouard
Fournier, has taken up the other end
of the subject and traced the history
of new thines which were known to
the ancients. An example given is the
talking machine, which is described as
a device for imitating the human voice
by mechanical vocal organs.
Ancient talking machines were at
tributed to the evil one, and a notable
wonder made by Albert the Great
was smashed into pieces by Thomas
Aquinas iu a moment of superstitious
rage. The queen of Sweden was amus
ed lv a talking head which spoke in
Hebrew, Greek, Latin and French
Skeptics attributed the remarkable
powers of this machine to ventrilo-
nuism. The first talking machine
known to authentic history was pr
sented to the French Academy of Sci
enccs in 1783. It was ultimately broken
m by its inventor, the Abbe Mical
Four years later a German Inventor
produced a machine which was men
tioned in scientific Journals of the time
as a phonograph, but the particulars of
the mechanism were not handed down
It is believed that the talking ma
chines inspired the ventriloquists to re
sort to tricks iu order to deceive the
public. An ingenious Frenchman had
all Paris running to hear a talking
ficure a foot and a half in height,
which answered all questions put to it
distinctly, but investigation proved
that the showman answered the ques
tions himself through the aid of ven
triloquism. It Is, however, certain, ac
cording to this authority, that In the
eighteenth century there were talking
machines of remarkable ingenuity, al
though none of them so far as known
reproduced the human voice as does
the modern phonograph.
Russia and India.
It turns out that the British com
missioners who . concluded a treaty
with the amir of Afghanistan the past
winter and have recently made their
report did not find the amir an easy
mark for diolomatic astuteness. The
British hoped to work the Russian
scare game as they have worked it be
fore and take the amir under benevo
lent protection. They saw that Russia
Is riding to a fall, but hoped to get
in some clever work before the amir
learned how his possible enemy, the
czar, had been brought low at the
hands of the Japanese.
But the amir was found to be well
posted upon the happenings in Man
churia aud not at all afraid of Rus
sian aggression upon his frontier. As it
stands the amir and not England is the
gainer by the new treaty. He suc
ceeded in having himself officially rec
ognized and styled "independent king
of the state of Afghanistan and its de
pendencies," and hence Amir Habibul
lah is the first ruler of Afghanistan
with sovereign rights. The next step
will be diplomatic representatives of
the amir in London, an event not long
to be delayed.
A Year of Volcanic Disturbances.
The present year is likely to be re
markable for the number of its vol
canic disturbances, not alone on land,
but in different parts of the deep sea.
Vast tidal waves have already been re
ported from various quarters of the
globe. The terrible earthquake dis
aster in northern India in April was
followed by shocks of lesser violence
in both hemispheres. A startling ma
rlne phenomenon in the Indian ocean
was also one of the sequels of the
great upheaval in April.
Recently the coast of the Indian
ocean was covered by a vast shoal of
dead fish, which lay piled up in hun
dreds of tons and had to be removed
to prevent a pestilence. A British
navigator who was in the middle of the
ocean shortly before the fish were
washed ashore says that the surface
of the sea was for some time Illuminat
ed in all directions by mysterious
flashes which proceeded apparently
out of the water and for which he waa
unable to account by any previous
experience at sea.
Admiral Togo says, "Quick and sim
ple action is the only way to succeed."
That Is not a new philosophy, but only
another way of putting Davy Crockett's
famous motto, "Be sure you're right,
then go ahead." Togo had months if
not years iu which to study the right
and the wrong way of smashing Into
an enemy's fleet in the waters around
Japan. When the time came to act he
simply went ahead and did the job up
brown.
Canada's increasing consumption of
products from the United States con
tinues to be a notable feature of Amer
ican commerce. Statistics compiled by
both governments confirm the general
statement that Canada is increasing
.her imports from the United" States
more rapidly than her exports to this
country.

England spreads to this country, either
