THROUGH ALL THE AGES of study and
Investigation which have marked the
path ofscientific discovery, one especially
alluring object has tempted the inquiries
and speculations of philosophers. 1t is
what the wizards and witches of olden
time, the jugglers of India, soothsayers
Of Arabia, Magi Of Egypt, NEGRO
mancers Of Turkey and the Orient, and
alchemists Of civilized Europe have
sought, but sought in vain-a segetabss
nonpotsonous Elizir, which, by cleansing
the blood, removing from the system ali
impurities, strengthening the nerves, the
muscles and the brain, and vitalizing
every fiber of the system, should bid de.
fiance to the corroding hand of disease.

Tho Growing Crops.

today, has returns from 1913 correspond.
ents, covering 125 counties in the States
of Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi and
Texas, In relation to the area planted this
season in cotton and corn in those States,
Deductions are also published from the
estimates of correspondents in relation to
the total Of spring and winter wheat now
in the ground in the States of Illinois,
Indiana, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri,
Ohio and Wisconsin. The following il
an abstract of the principal information
furnished:
In the matter of cotton there is shown
falling off from the area planted last
year averaging in the four States first
named LAG per cent The decrease in area
is 1874 per cent. in Alabama, "a per cent.
in Arkansas, 904 per cent. in Mississippi,
and So per cent. in Texas.
CORN.
The area devoted to corn In the same
States is placed at an increase over last
year TO the extent of 90 per cent.
The increase is given as 1914
per cent in Alabama, o. per cent
In Arkansas, 8 per cent. in Mississippi,
1O.6 per cent. in Texas. The stand of
both cotton and corn in the States named
was, May Is, much below . full stand, al
though the stand of corn was better than
that Of cotton. In Louisiana the major.
ity of the reports received speak of con-
siderable portion of the land as overaowed
in all the four States. The lateness of the
season very much delayed, and, although
much of the replanting which became
necessary had been accomplished at the
date of the reports, there will still be
good deal of land lie idle.
The estimates of correspondents in the
eight Western States previously nen-
toned indicate an average increase in
the total area of wheat of 8 40 per cent.
The increase is IA per cent. in Illinois, 1
$40 per cent. in Indiana, 10 $40 per cent.
in Iowa, "a per cent in Kansas, 8 Z, 10 per
cent. in Minnesota, II 40 per cent in
Missouri, s per cent in OHIO, and 1 40
per cent in Wisconsin.
The general condition of growing grain
at the date of the last report was all that
could be desired, although the crop in
Iowa has suffered somewhat from the den.

incident occurred, says the Richmond
Eaquirel', on the Southwestern Railroad,
Of Georgia. a man named Wolf, resid-
ing at Marshalyille, near the railroad de-
pot, has five tow-headed children. The
conductor had on his train large party
of Northern excursiouists, who were anx-
ious to see all the curiosities, Near Mar
shallyillc he told them there was man
who had five tame wolves, all with white
spots on the top Of their heads. They ex-
pressed a desire TO see the strange ami
mails, and the conductor said that as the
wolf-tamer lived near the road, he would
wait for them. They alighted, and the
conductor pointed the way to the house,
rcmarlling that as the old she-wolf was
an ugly customer be would not 90 with
them. Going to the yard they found
Mrs. WOLF and the children playing
around her and offered to pay literally
for sight Of the the tame wolves. They
were back in time for the train.
