THE unfayorable reports of the south
ern cotton harvest continue. The crop
is abundant, but the trouble is about
gathering it. Southern papers say that
4 very large portion of the crop of Tex
rs, Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi
remains ungathered in the fields, and
that this is due to scarcity of labor, I'M
favorable weather since the first week
in November, and the unusually large
acreage and abundance of the yield.
The New Orleans Democrat draws the
lesson from these reports that the
southern farmers and planters SOW
more than they are able to gather un-
der the present supply of labor, except
in the most favorable weather for har-
vesting. Texas papers state that much
of the corn crop of that state is still also
unoathered.

Disorders which Affect the Kidneys

Are among the most formidable known. Diabetes,
Brights disease, gravel and other complaints of
the urinary organs are not ordinarily cured in Sc
we're cases, but they may be averted by timely
medication. A useful stimulant of the urinary
glands has ever been found in Hostetters Stom-
ach Bitters, medicine which not only affords the
requisite stimulus when they become inactive, but
increases their vigor and secretive power. By in
creasing the activity of the kidneys and bladder
this medicine has the additional effect of expeling
from the blood impurities which it is the peculiar
office of those organs to eliminate and pass off.
The Bitters is also purifier and strengthener Of
the bowels, an invigorant of the stomach, and q
matchless remedy for billiousness and fever and
ague. 1t counteracts tendency to premature
decay, and sustains and comforts the aged and
infirm

ACCORDING to the Saturday Reeie,c,
the hatred in which the Jewish race is
now held in Germany is far too practi-
cal to be appeased by any such trifle
rs u change of religion. If the Ger
man Jews became christians tomorrow
they would be equally powerful. If
they were rather stupid, and not good
at making money, and altogether given
to lag behind their christian neighbors
they might be of any religion they
liked. Their offence is that in all
hese respects they are better men than
the christians. They work harder, they
earn more, and they are sharper to see
and seize advantages.
