MIDDLE-AGED MEN

There are many at the age of 30 to co who
are troubled with too frequent excavations OF
the bladder, often accompanied by slight
smarting or burning sensation and q weaken
ing of the system in manner the patient can
not account for. On examining the urinary
deposits, ropy sediment will often be found,
and sometimes small particles of albumen
will appear. or the color will be of thin,
whitish hue, again changing to dark, torpid
appearance. There are many men who die OF
this difficulty, ignorant of the cause, which IS
the second stage of seminal weakness. DIR.
SPINNEY will Guarantee a Perfect
Cure in such cases ,'and healthy restora-
tion of the genito-urinary organs.

The Public Domain,

The report of the general land
Office at Washington tells the story
of the increasing demand for cheap
land. During the year ending
June so, 1888, no less than $780,
liz entries of public land were
made, embracing over 24,0OO.OOO
acres, an area exceeding the area of
the state of Indiana, and nearly
equal to that of Ohio or Kentucky.
1t is evident that this cannot go
on long. The United States has
nosuch land area left that it can
sell tract bigger than Indiana
every year.
The same story is told by the
selection of 6,525,OO0 acres by
land grant railroads. and by 24,
472 timber culture entries. 1t
seems startling to hear that now,
when land is getting so scarce, the
land grant railroads should be able
to locate 6,500,000-especially as
these companies are almost with
out exception prosperous, and are
able to sell for real money securi-
ties which represent the cost Of
the roads. The timber culture en-
tries will require close watching.

Wonders of Chalcedonx Park.

Ono Of the most remarkable specimens from
the celebrated petri6ed forest of Arizona, now
generally known as Chalcedony park, is on
exhibition at Tiffany Co.'S, New York
city. The specimen in question is the larg-
est piece of agatized wood ever cut and pol
ished, and weighs 2 lilo tons. The deposit
from which it came is situated in Apache
county The siicified trees are found pro-
truding from the volcanic ash and lava,
which is covered with sandstone TO the depth
of twenty TO thirty feet. Sections of this
fallen forest, whose only rivals are the giants
of the Yosemite and Calaveras, lie around in
profusion, measuring from two to ten feet In
diameter, containing all the colors Of the
rainbow, some of whose hearts are solid
crystals of amethyst and topaz, and only
slight degree from the diamond in hardness.

which became a KIND of exchange much to
the profit of its proprietors. In 1862 these
men made their first investment in the Com
stock lode Nevada John ". Mackay joined
his fortune with theirs the first year, and in
1869 James c. Fair became the fourth partner
in the mining property owned by the firm.
Whoever suffered by the collapse Of the Com

and his associates came out ahead.
II was AIR. Flood who iected the Nevada
bank. He had for associates James c. Fair
and John W. Mackay After finishing the
immense row Of buildings called the Nevada
Block" in San Francisco, and just before
starting the Nevada bank, Flood made that
heavy call on the California bank which led
to its suspension ana incidentally to the death
Of William c. Ralston, the popular Califor-
MAN, whose fall and subsequent suicide was
greatly deplored by the public.

Gravity System for Rapid Transit.

A new system of operating passenger rail
roads in towns and cities is now attracting
attention. The operative features of such
construction have had numerous illustrations
in various switchback railways and coastinS
tracks at seaside resorts and other places, nos
to mention the famous swttchback road at
Mauch Chunk, Pa, which was used for many
years to convey coal from the mines to the
banks of the Lehigh, and where the inclines
are extensive. 1t hos, however, remained for
Mr. L. a. Thompson, Of Philadelphia, to per
feet the working details for the operation OF
a city railroad on this plan, for which letters
patent have been granted to him here and in
all the principal countries Of the world. In
this new system the locomotive is dispensed
with, and the distances apart of the stations
are approximately such as would be repre-
sented by the passenger stations on city
