Great Rnnning Match in Eng
land.

A running match took place December
II at Lilliebridge, London, between Geo.
Hazael, an English long-distance runner,
and Achile Bargossi, who is styled the
Italian champion, the distance being 80
miles, and the stake 5000. There is only
one instance on record of so long dis
tance as that of 80 miles being run, and
that is as long back as 1858. when J.
Rhodes, a Wolverhampton man, ran 80
miles at Birmingham in $4,000. The
betting was two to one on Hazael, who is
a thin, hatchet faced man, with long,
well-shaped legs. Achille Bargossi, on the
other hand, is short, dark-haired little
man, of whose nationality there can be no
doubt, and who, Immediately after start
ing, was greeted with ironical cheers and
cries of " Go it, ice creams" 1t Don be-
name apparent that the Italian, who is
reported to have run so miles without
stopping, was not in it with his opponent
Hazael ran his first five miles in 1886
while the Italian took 1926, Hazael hav
ing Tapped him (there being three laps to
the mile), after going four and half
miles. Bargossi was again Tapped after
going eight miles, and third time after
Hszael had gone eleven miles. Hazsel
ran h;s ten miles in 57:37, and his eleven
miles in 1888. Hazael continued to gain
and gain till, after running within few
yards of fifteen miles in 1:4l:50, the Ital-
ian gave up, Hazael at the time having
gone close upon IT. miles. Hazael, how
ever, continued on, and as there had
been some betting that he would run his
80 miles in three and three-quarters
hours, it was thought he would have fin
ished> the distance, but after running 20
milesin the wonderful good time of 1921
Hazael stopped, of course receiving the
stakes.

spenth i'm His FavOrite Robe.

The mcrtuary statistics of the whole civ.
ilized world show that about one.fifth of all
mankind die of consumption alone, and The
number of deaths due to consumption bears
a greater ratio to the whole number than that
of any other three diseases together. More
over, investigation proves that this ratio is
steadily increasing. Its increasing prevalence
has led to the popular belief that consumption
is incurable, Every year hundreds.of these
sufferers seek, in the sunny retreats of
Florida or the dry atmosphere of Colorado,
for health-and find only grave. The in
fuence of the atmosphere-the only re-
medal agent that either Florida or Colorado
can afford the cOnsumptive-is at best only
palliative. The cure of consumption.d depends
upon two essential conditions: 1st, the ar.
rest of the abnormal breaking down of the
tissues, which prevents emaciation, and I'd,
the restoration of healthy nutrition, in order
to stop the formation of tuberculous matter
Fulfil these conditions, and consumption is
as curable as fever. To fulfill these con.
ditions the required remedy must increase
the appetite, favor the assimilation of food,
and enrich the blood, thus retarding the de.
velopment of tubercules. 10 accomplish
this, more powerful Alternative than DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery has never
been discovered. At the same time it soothes
the irritation of the nervous system pros
duced by violent coughing, which in Its
turn so often leads to more serious results.
The use of " expectorants" in consumption
is absolutely suicidal. For while removing
the tubercules already formed, they produce
yet more serious results by infaming and
destroying the sound and healthy tissues
Consumption requires remedy that will
soothe while it relieves; harsh medicines
but add fuel to the flame that already threat
ems to consume the system. The Golden
Medical Discovery fulflls these conditions,
and has been pronounced the best remedy
yet discovered to allay and arrest consump-
tion

Removal of the wheat Belt.

The removal of the "wheat belt "
westward is strikingly exhibited by the
trade of Cleveland. Only thirty-fve
years ago she shipped more wheat than
any other port on the great lakes, Buffalo
alone excepted. Massillon, now scarcely
known in the wheat trade, was the chief
point of original receipt, and received a
larger amount of Wheat than any other
port in the world from the actual pro-
GERS. Now both Cleveland and Masillon
draw large proportion of their bread
stufs and grain from the northwest.
the wheat-producing region takes its
way but this condition of affairs, al
though it will last for many years, will
not be permanent. With improved
agriculture, wheat will again be grown
in large quantities where it is now neg
lected; and the increased settlement of
the west viii, after a certain point is
reached, provide consumers nearer the
places of production in that region

Fight Between a Sea-LiGn and q
Sturgeon.

The angler sometimes hooks salmon
that has had a piece bitten out OF the
shoulder by the rapacious seal, and GER
tainly the seal lives by masticating fish
in whole or in part. It is rare, however,
that combat between the fish and the
mammal is witnessed, even on the Oak
land Ferry route, which, to the natural
lists eyes, is SO prolific in incident,
ranging from the gobbling of garbage by
the gulls to the dipping of divers and the
pop and roll of the porpoises. Yesterday
morning the passengers on the ten o'clock
boat from Oakland witnessed a tough
fight between surgeon and sea-lion.
The former had swan away from the nu-
tritive mud of the San joaquin in quest
of something to suck in the bay, and its
fiippered enemy had entered the bay on a
prowl. One wanted to eat and the other
to escape. The seal saw its chance for
magnificent meal on what is too often sold
as sea-bass in chowder, and the sturgeon
was painfully conscious that nature ought
to have endowed it with sharks teeth and
the capacity to crush like the squid.
Fish and mammal came to the surface,
the former to breathe and the latter be-
cause it couldn't stay down. The seal
bit viciously at the gill openings of it's
adversary, and showed superior Jfnessee in
planning the campaign, while the stur-
geon lashed the water powerfully with its
unequally lobed tail, and occasionally
administered a stunning blow to the seal.
Blood flowed profusely, and the water
was dyed for yards around, but eventually
the sturgeon yielded up the ghost, being
seized unluckily by the tail and paralyzed
in movement by having its only propeller
nearly bitten off. Thus wounded and
circumvented, it speedily desisted from
battle, and the seal administered the coup
de grace and towed his dinner beneath
the waves. The spectacle was an exciting
one.-San Francisco Call.

Wool as q StaDle.

California receives annually from tie
clouds about half the quantity of rain
that falls in Tennessee, and has also
about half the grazing advantages of this
state, yet California sells 50,OOO,OOO
pounds of wool year worth $S,000,O0O
or more. Several of her wool-growers
own each from 20 600 to 40, 900 sheep. Ten
nessee has 23,0OO,000 acres of land, over
which the plow has never passed, nor
sheep trod, which produces nothing as an
annual harvest, save fair crop of county
and state taxes for the owners of the land
to pay. The good land that pays these
annual taxes is not over 100000 acres,
all told, in Tennessee. Beyond all ques-
ton, to support something like million
people and pay all taxes must draw
severely on the natural fertility of the
5000, 900 acres under cultivation. Now,
give Tennessee 100000 other acres in
the best grasses, stocked with sheep
mainly, and our agricultural income will
be more than doubled, while no man,
woman or child will need an ounce more
food in a year than is now needed. In
plain words, we are, as state, too poor
to hold %, 600, 900 acres of unproductive
land and we put the price of this wild
land too high by half to immigrants
from Earope and the northern states.
This is great mistake.
The writer has just sold IN improved
farm to an immigrant from Indiana on
eleven years credit; acting on the prin-
ciple that it is better to pget annual in
terest on the value Of the property than
to hold the land. The purchaser has
bought 125 ewes, and will probably raise
more lambs than he has old sheep. These
lambs in few months will bring more
money than the ewes cost while their
feeces will pay the purchaser large
profit. Getting farm wholly on credit
enables the buyer to use his means in
the purchase Of the best t.ssheep, breeding
sews and pregnant heifers, to transform
grass into currency. What we preach
that we practice, looking to the good of
the whole community.

the year, and frequently in the fall, large
quantities of worms lying discharged
after eating artichokes for eight or ten
days. Sows suckle finely and do we'll on
this kind of keeping. In winter my hogs
go into winter quarters in small numbers
in a division-say four to five head-in
place. If there is single hog or pig
that looks little off," to use the ex-
preston of tradesmen-that is. if he
refuses his feed-I put him in hospital,
where, in a day or two, he is in good
shape for his appearance at headquarters.
Every farmer knows that hogs will
devour artichokes with great esgerness,
and the cost of providing them is scarcely
anything.
