AFEw FACTS WORTH REMEMBERING


s omebody has made the following
careful estimate:
The earth has about 100000
square miles OF land surface; and
somsihing over 100000 900 Of pco.
pie.
The United States have 100000
OF square miles OF Territory, about
one-sixteenth Of the whole; and
forty millions Of psople, about one
twsnty.6fth Of the whole popula
tion.
Our productive power is very
great, owing TO our machinery and
our wide aud virgin soil. The an
nual value is not less than eight bill.
lions, and one more must he added
for increased value of property with.
out labor--in all nine billions.
1t is disposed Of thus: For gov.
ernmont, national, state county, town
and township, not less than one
billion.
For the means Of intoxication, its
concomitants and consequences,
another billion.
For books, newspapers, churches,
schools, theatres, lectures and amuse-
msnts, another billion.
Forluxuries and extravagancies Of
food and dress, jewelry, cosmetics,
medicines and doctors, another bill
lion.
For rent, fuel, light, furniture,
etc., for dwelling houses, another bill
lion.
For plain, substantial food for the
whole nation, we must add two bill
lions. 20
And our capitalists make the rest
one billion in increased value, and
one billion in new property.
But we are moving on so rapidly
that the figures will not long hold
good. And they vary somewhat
from the average every year. In
the past two years the increase in
value has not been great. But
year of prosperity will bring all
right again. H
Could we reduce our political ex
penses to one half and our liquor
bills to ons-quartsr, il would swell
the tide Of our prosperity at once.
Our taxes are the first lien on our
industry, one billion dollars.
,sG Then comes our vices, liquor and
its results, and the vices swell the
taxes. Prevent the one and YOU re-
duce the other. i
" The third lien is interest on capi-
tai. 1t must be paid, or capital will
leave US. No man will expend
cent in our State unless
he feels secure and can get as good
: interest as else sewhere. i,i asE',Fl 4
These are what Cypress the poor
man, because they must como before
he can have cent Tor himsslf--taxI
es, liquor bill and interest,". gi
He can reduce the taxes by, his
vote. He can annihilate the saloon
bill by bis own determination. He
can reduce the interest by d calm
policy that will make capital feel
secure. n..ses
This ls the reform we need.

Ague Cure

Is o purely vegetable bitter and powerful
tonic, and Ia warranted q speedy and GER
tain cure for Fever and Ague, Chills and
Fever, Intermittent or Chill Fever, Re-
mittent Fever, Dumb Ague, Periodical
or Bilious Fever, and all malarial dis
orders. In masmatic districts, the rapid
pulse, coated tongue, thirst, lassitutle, loss OF
appetite, pain In the back and loins, and cold
ness OF the spine and extremities, are only
premonitions OF severer symptoms which
terminate in the ague paroxysm, succeeded
by high fever and profuse perspiration.
1t is startling fact, that quinine, arsenic,
and other poisonous minerals form the basis
OF most OF the Fever and Ague Prepara-
tions," "Specifics," "Syrups," and "Ton-
ics," In the market. The preparations made
from these mineral poisons, although they
are palatable, and may break the chill, do
not cure, but leave the malarial and their
own drug poison In the system, producing
quinism, dizziness, ringing in the ears, head
ache, vertigo, and other disorders more for
midable than the disease they were intended
to cure. AYERS AGUE CURE thoroughly
eradicates these noxious poisons from the
system, and always cures the severest cases.
II contains no quiDine, mineral, OF any thing
that could injure the most delicate patient;
and It's crowning excellence, above its GER
tainty to cure, is that 1t leaves the system as
free from disease as before the attack.
For Liver Complaints, AYERS AGUE
CURE, by direct action on the liver and bill
iary apparatus, drives out the poisons which
produce these complaints, and stimulates the
system 70 {. vigorous, healthy condition.

TO KILL A TOWN.

1. Put up no more buildings than
you can occupy yourself.
2. If you should have al empty
building to rent, demand thrce times
it's value.
3. Look sorrowful DO little insult
every new conner; give the cold shout
der to and. underrate every mechanic
who desires to come among you.
4. Go abroad for your goods and
wares. BY no means purchase from
your own merchants and manufactu-
rers, even Mt tho Same price, or less.
8. Finally, give n thorough finish to
your work by working against your
local paper. Bemean everybody con-
nectcd with it refuse to subscribe for
or advertise in it, so that persons living
ut n distance will not know that any
business is being done in your town, or
may want to como and settle among
you, or buy something from you, and
that would give You trouble.

MARRIED ON HORSEBACK.

Tuesday of last week, on the public
road near Lyons Creek, in Calvert

county, was requested by the grooms-
man to start from his homo ut O'Clock

QUICK WORK.
Mr., Bowerman Packs His wifc's Trunk.

rDetroit Free Press
Mfr. Bowernan and wife left for the
country yesterday. One could tell that
their trunks were not over half full, as
they were pitched into the baggage car
with a crash. They began packing q
week ago. When the subject was
preached he said he preferred to pack
his own trunk, and he didn't propose
to take q whole month to it, either.
All that he proposed TO take along was
an extra suit, and he could throw that
in most any way. Night before last
he began work. 1t struck him he'd
better put in an extra pair OF boots as
O foundation, and he flung 'eza In and
braced 'em in the corners WIN ms
clean shirts. The shirts didn't seem
to ride very well, and he braced them
with two pairs Of trousers. Then he
stuffed his Sunday coat pockets with
collars and cuffs and found place for
f.. used his white vests for sschinking,"
and the balance of his clothing just
fitted in nicely.
ssThc man who takes over ten min
utes to pack trunk is n dolt - said
Mr., Bowerman as he slammed down
the lid and turned the key.
Mrs. Bowerman had been at it just
seven days and seven nights, and
when the husband went up stairs at 10
o'clock she sat down before tho open
trunk with tears in her eyes.
"You see how it is," she explained,
as he looked down upon her in awful
contempt, tI've got only part of my
dresses in here, to say nothing of a
thousand other things, and even now
the lid won't shut down. I've got
such headache must lie down for q
few minutes"
She went away, and Mr.. BOwerman
sat down and unused: ssSpace Is space.
Tho use of space is in knowing how to
utilize it,
Removing everything, he began re-
packing. He found that silk dress
could be rolled to the size of a quart
jug. A freshly starched lawn was
made to take the place of pair of
slippers. Her brown bunting fitted in
the niche she had reserved for three
handkorchiefs, and her best bonnet
was turned bottom up in its box and
packed full of Undertaking. He sat
there viewing sufficient empty space
to pack in q whole bed, when she re-
turned and said he was the only real
good husband in this world, and she
kissed him on the nose as he turned
the key.
"It's simply the difference between
the sexes,'' was tho patronizing reply,
as he went down stairs to turn on the
burglar alarm.
When that wife opened that trunk
last night --! But screams and
shrieks would avail nothing.
