The resignation OF Herr Won Puttkamer, Prus
sian minister or the interior. IN response TO an
autograph letter from King Frederick III, would
be considered ominous IN a country where the
business OF politics was conducted on a different
plan The -ex-minister Is a brotaer-in-Iaw of
Prince Bismarck but, outside OF his oficial posi-
zion, Yields little influence. IL Is 10 the credit OF
the great chancellor that he has never allowed
the relationship TO affect his. treatment or Putt
kaner. VINO has been obliged TO work
his way upii as best he scould from the
lowest rank In the public service The minister
was usually fairly submissive TO the Will OF his
powerful kinsman, but now and then he asserted
himself. When Bismarck, for example, set the
fashion OF having Official reports and other docu.
ments printed In Gothic, instead OF German type
all the ministers except Puttkamer followed suit,
but he held out for the old text, although he knew
that the change was a matter OF strong feeling
with bis orother-in-law. II Is not likely that the
dismissal of Put.karner and the substitution O. a
funetionary OF more liberal ideas will affect the
ehaneelior's relations with his sovereign in the
least

Mr.. Walilng, American consul at Leith, has sent

pOstal-say:ngs-bank system In Great Britain.
Nearly every mOney-order post-office In the king

person can open an account at any place. the post

from one shilling upward, will be accepted, and

class OF citizens Tor whose benefit it was devised

common people, and the convenience which work.

Western Farm Mortgages.

I'm agricultural exchange has been taking the
trouble to look up the western mortgage bust
ness, and discovers that mere than GOO fore
closure suits were begun in single state within
period of six months, brought by corporations
and private firms which have been selling these
western securities to eastern investors: to say
nothing of what is going on in other States.
Indeed. the foreclosure business has become so
brisk that foreclosure companies have actually
been formed and put into profitable operation.
These concerns buy up foreclosure rights, of
course at goodly discount. take the land from
mortgayor. assume the mortgage liabilities
themselves or issue new liens, and take their
chances Of selling of foreclosed lands in suf-
iicent quantities, from time to time. to meet
their liabilities and pay dividends to their stock
holders.
The handsome proportions TO which this line
of trade has swelled must be rather startling to
good many eastern investors, who cheerfully
fancled that they We're doing a fine thing as
long a they We're drawing six or seven per
cent. on bonds issued by companies which got
ten or twelve per cent. for simply renyesting
their money. They may never suffer any loss,
Tor the reputable companies are scrupulous
about placing loans only where the present and
prospective value of the property is high enough
10 make the plant safe. But no man, however
we'll protected in the main, likes to feel that a
concern in which he is interested is constantly
selling good many of its assets at a sacrifice.

veloper of local interests will be returned to

An Important Experiment,

An elaborate system of experiments recently
conducted by the Agricultural College Of
Michigan show that milk and butter products
are slightly increased by warming the water
drank by dairy cows. Professor johnson. who
directed these experiments. says the results are
not so pronounced in favor of warm water As
was expected, and the difference is so slight as
scarcely to pay for warming thu. water.
Though the gain in milk and butter may
heardly pay the dairymen. nevertheless we
cay that the improvement of the cows con-
dition by the artificial warmth of the water is
great. The animal may be compared to an in
animate motor like the steam engine, deriving
all it, power for locomoton and digestion from
its internal heat. Ordinarily the heat necessary
to keep the animal in health and vigor and to
enable it to resist external cold is evolved with
In its body b! the chemical changes going Oh
In the process of digesting its food. When this
supply of animal heat runs low, as it is sure to
do in severe winter, the animal suffers in all
its organs. But if the natural heat is supple
mented by the artificial heat in the water the
animal drinks, all its functions are strengthen
ed and its ability to endure severe cold is con.
siderably increased.
Heat is also powerful stimulant to the heart,
SO that cup of hot tea is much more refreshing
than cold one. There is therefore, every rea-
son to believe that if the Michigan experiments
were tried generally on dairy farms in winter
the results would decidedly increase the farm
er's profits. lTew York Herald.

Ghame to our boosted civilization"
Look at the list of women who die in child
BIRTH and Why is it? Simply because their
maternal organs have been so weakened by
the most terrible of diseases that they cannot
withstand the fearful, sudden strain that is
brought to bear upon them How many women
escape monthly agonies And yet nature
never intended that pain or Inconvenience
should attend the operation of her natural
laws. The solemn and terrible fact is, that
men and women drag along, die, and are
buried, and their friends and the doctors say
heart disease, apoplexy, pneumonia conges-
ton, commissions, when the cause lay far
back of all these thirgs. The truth is that
weakened Kidneys are the cause of most ofour
troubles. The great question, therefore, is:

who desire Icing life, and freedom from pain
