"The wise getting, giving and
spending of money argues the per-
feet man. So quoted to me man
who seeks to live the idea. An
honest merchant whose wares find
a ready market wherever good
goods are appreciated. A liberal
giver who tries to do good with his
gains in commerce. An agriculte-
rist who spends his money in ex-
perimental farming for the good of
his race. Such man deserves well
of mankind; but like all such he
gets his reward chiefly IN the
knowledge that he is trying to do
good. 1 suppose many ''faney farm

him in aim All of them merit en-
eouragement rather than derision.

Mrs. Harriet Cummings, of Cincinnati,
Ohio, writes: Early last winter my
daughter was attacked with severe cold,
which settled on her lungs. We tried
several medicines, none of which seemed
to do her any good but she continued to
get worse, and finally raised large
amounts of blood from her lungs. We
called in family physician, but he failed
to do her any good. At this time friend
who had been cured by DR.. VIM. Hall
Balsam for the lungs, advised me to give
it trial. We then got bottle, and she
began to improve, and by the use OF
three bottles was entirely cured.

NOTWITHSTANDING his success at SueZ
it can be hardly doubted any longer that
NJ. de Lesseps is on the verge Of mon
umental failure at Panama. A hundred
million dollars have already been sunk in
the ditch, yet unbiased engineers report
that not one twentieth of the excavating
has been done. The total cost will exceed
$3.50, 600, 600, should the canal be COM
pleted, and experts contend that no dam
can control or resist the swollen torrents
of the Chsgres river. Assuming it to be
built and utilized to its full capacity, this
artificial channel can never pay interest
on the enormous outlay involved. Prob
ably, however, the digging will not pro-
coed much further, most of the subscrib'
ers being sick of the experiment.

representing the lumber and saw mill in

the Mississippi valley, that in view of the
largely increased expense attending fire
insurance IN the sO-called board COM
panies, it is not only expedient but absot

adequate safeguards be thrown around
our property; and, therefore, be 1t fur

means of affording safe and economical
means of insurance; and in furtherance
Of said object we deem it essential that q

situation and report rs to the advIsability

on all common grades of lumber in all the
markets represented prevailed, and Sep

The following resolution concerning
overproduction and log cutting was
adopted:
WHEREAS, Lumber is being, and has
been for some time past, furnished to
consumers at prices that pay no profit at
all TO the manufacturer, and little or no
compensation to owners of pine land, and
in many cases large capital is employed,
valuable plants are wearing out, and the
result is loss in capital, time and labor;
and
WHEREAS, We believe there is, and
has been for two years past, an overpro>
duction of lumber in the northwest of at
least 25 per cent, and to this fact may be
largely attributed the depressed state of
the market, and that the present outlook
