A Rapid Decline Arrested i.


Mrs. Anna G. Fourqurean, of San Marco,
Texas, wife of wtll-known and influential
citizen of that place, writing under date of

daily fevers, sleepless nights, indigestion,
loss of flesh and strength, men

the lungs. This state continued for eighteen
months, Notwithstanding l had the treat
mept of good physicians. By the time l
had lost all vitality, spent most of the time
in bed, coughed continually, raising q
large quantity of deep yellow mucus, and
after little sleep in the latter part OF the
night, would awaken drenched by night
sweats, and SO Frustrated that l could not
raise myself in bed until had taken lit.
tie brandy. l began to lose hope of life.
My husband and my neighbors thought l
could not possibly live. About this time
your Compound Oxygen Treatment was
brought to our notice. My husband imme-
diately sent for it; / stopped the use OF all
medicines and began the Treatment l
was too weak at first to take it for as long a

in length and strength, and
would leave such delightful sense OF relief
to my lungs that l loved to inhale. Ny

singing while at my work; indeed scarcely
recogn zed my own self; my flesh increased,
and l felt and looked younger. used the
Treatment four months faithfully; after
that irregularly for several months, and at
the end of twelve months from the time l

In Russia and Brazil noticed common
Characteristic There were only two classes
Of people the mobiles and the slaves. In ST.
Petersburg and Rio Janeiro, as well as in the
other large towns Of these empires, there we're
merchants, bankers, brokers, agents, manulac-
turers, and others who constituted a middle
or third class, but outside Of the large cities
this third class was hardly observable. and in
the county it disappeared entirely. The
same social Characteristic is noticeable in
northern Spain--there is no middle class.
There is but litde traffic, consequently there
are but few merchants, and these few are
mainly at Leon. There are no banks or bank
notes or bank checks in use, consequently no
bankers. There is little activity Of any sort
beyond tilling the earth and consuming its
products on the spot, consequently there are
no iorwarders, no jobbers, no manufacturers,
no agents, no tradesmen, no mechanics. In a
word, there is no middle class. In this re-
spect Russia is on a par with, and Brazil is
ahead Of, Northern Spain. Fancy people
within 50 hours OF London by rail and without
a middle class. II seems incredible.-San
Francisco Chronicle.

Cause and Effect.

Miles City journal.
At late hour last night, while the patient
scribes OF the Journal were collecting the
news of both hemispheres for the dedication
oil their patrons, they were surprised by the
advent of some symphathizing friends, laden
to the guards with the good things Of this
lille, which they lost no time in setting before
the staff, the whole forming banquet worthy
Of the gods.
From the same paper: We regret having
to apologize for anything, but beg the induie
gence Of our readers as TO our telegraph news.
Owing TO an electric storm last night the line
from ST. Paul worked so badly that It was al
most impossible for the operator here to gal n
any sense from the wires. Nearly forty pages
OF nonsensical tumble was consigned to Ii e
waste basket this morning, it being thoroughly
useless to attempt to extract news from il.

The opening article in the September num-
Der Of The American Counting Room is en-
titled "Ofice Arrangement and Architecture"
and is especially descriptive of the handsome
new offices of Messrs. w. & ]. Sloane, at
Broadway and Nineteenth street, New York
City. "Co-operative Fire Insurance" is the
title Of paper setting forth a proposed plan
for economical insurance against loss by FIRE.
Advanced Methods in Bank Bookkeeping"
is written upon in popular vein, which makes
it useful to all who have dealings with bank,
and especially valuable to those engaged in
the banking business. An article that will
well repay careful perusal by employers, as
well as the employed, is, "Embezzlement and
Accountability" The Introductory lecture
delivered at the opening course on "Mercan-
tile Practice" 10 the Wharton school, univer-
sity Of Pennsylvania, forms the subject Of a
paper worthy Of attention. The story in this
number is entitled "At Meeting OF Credit
ors." Ostrich Farming in Southern Texas"
receives consideration. The departments OF
Counting Room Chats, and the Merchants
Law Library, are both replete with useful in
formation. "Only an Entry Clerk" is the
subject of an illustrated poem. The usual re-
ports Of failures and assignments, trade re-
views, markets and exchanges, tables Of
foreign mails, cable rates, ETC., combine to
make the number Of the magazine a valuable
adjunct to the business man and may be had
of news dealers.

THE Fort Worth Gazette, on the subject Of
the small vote cast at the election on the con-

Texas were all who took enough interest in
public affairs to vote on proposition Of or
ganic amendment Had the $4,000 who re-
NAMED away been foroibly disfranchised, as
they voluntarily DISTINGUISHED themselves,
their rage against the abridgment Of personal
liberty could not have been peaeeably re-
strained"

ALDERMAN LOCKWOOD builded more
wisely for the public than he expected in his
resolution on the ditch-sewer question-that

public generally, and it is needless to say that

Sixteen Hundred Trains a Day.

AT Chaplain Junction, where the great rail-
road systems Of London connect, the rails lie
together like the wires Of a piano. Sixteen
hundred trains day run over them. There
is no shrieking Of whistles or changing Of bells.
They keep their signals for their officials, and
outsiders must expose themselves at their own
risks. A tunnel-way for passengers connects
the whole, so that no one Is allowed to cross
the rails except the employees. who grow fool

The New York Sun gave this excellent
advice to a father who asked the editor to
recommend book that he could give his son,
which would help in forming his character.
The father inquired whether Lord Chester
fields letters would be fit volume for the
purpose. To which the Sun answers in the
negative, pronouncing the authors moral
standard low, his views Of life cynical, and
the tendency Of the work to cultivate merely
the external and artificial rather than develop
the best intrinsic qualities Of a young man.

JUDGE WILLIAM LAWRENCE, First Comp.

Of protection has secured prosperity, a sound
currency, high public credit, employment for
capital and labor, adequate rewards for all,
and a steady advance in wealth and all that

condition Of our people. Every period of a
low tariff for revenue only has brought hard

CAN a man be libeled after he is dead
asks the Globe-Democrat George Ticknor
Curtis and Others interested in the memory Of
James Buchanan talk Of suing Boston paper
for good, round damages because it published
a story to the effect that The breaking Of the
engagement between Buchanan and young
girl Of Lancaster, Pa, way back in 1915, was
due to the future Presidents unfaithiulness.
Mr.. Curtis has a good deal to say about the
enlargement in his Life Of Buchanan" in
which he declares il was due solely to a mis-
understanding for which neither party was to
blame. But the notion Of suing in earthly
courts the publishers Of gossip, true or false,
about those who are dead and gone before
other tribunals, is certainly unique. What a
grist for the lawyers the cases of julius Cesar
and Napoleon Bonaparte, for instance, would
be!
