FARMERS.

Farmers often take cold and it set.
ties on their lungs, and finally develop.
into rheumatism without their know
ing why. The fact is that the lungs
and kidneys are intimately connected.
No one can take cold and have it set
tie on the lungs without having it af-
feet the kidneys. If person thus at
tackled, takes an opiate to dry up his
cough, his kidneys fail to perform
their work which is to take the uric
acid out of the blood. This acid final
ly attacks the joints and produces rheu-
matism. Or it attacks the muscles
and will produce rheumatism in al
most any part of the body. People
that are exposed to open air pursuits
are extremely liable to it. If person
thus attacked will take REID'S GER
MAN COUGH AND KIDNEY CURE
he will find that while his cough is
cured, his kidneys will be stimulated
and he will not have rheumatism. This
great remedy is based on scientific
principles. Get it of any dealer.

Destruction of a Famous Chateau.

The most magnificent chateau in Bel
GUM, or indeed anywhere in the north
west Of Europe, has just been almost
entirely destroyed by fire. Its name is
the Chateau de Dave. 1t stands on the
banks of the River Meuse and belongs
to the duke of Fernan Nunez, the faith
er-in-law of the duke of Alba. The
castle is surrounded by forest park
of two thousand acres and inclosed by a
massive wall, which the duke erected
some twenty years ago after dispute
with the Belgian police, who had at
tempted to prevent both himself and his
guests. among whom was the prince Of
Wales. from shooting, in consequence of
their being without gun licenses. The
chateau, says the New York Recorder,
was crowded from cellar to garret with
all kinds of wonderful works of art,
valuable pictures and magnificent
tapestries, only a small portion Of
which were saved. The cellars of the
chateau in particular were famed for
the brand of hermitage preserved
there, which is stated to be the very
finest in Europe.

Baron Niuncha ausen.

Baron Munchausen, the father in lit

name is synonym for exaggeration
and wild creation of misinformation,
was Karl Friedrich Hieronymus, a
member of an ancient and noble fami-

at BOdenwerClcr, served as cavalry
officer in the Russian campaign against
the Turks, and died in February, 1897
a collection of his marvellous stories, or
stories attributed to him, was first pub
ished in London in 1855, the compiler
being Erich Raspe, an expatriated coun-
tryman of the baron's. In 1856 the Ger
man poet Berger published a German
version. Several of the adventures as
cribed to the baron are known to have
appeared previously in Bcbel's Face

The Land Question and Its Solution.

The Belfast Qreland) Star has come
out for the single tax, as will be seen
from the following, taken from a late
editorial:
Irish tenant farmers are apt to fancy
that the land question is: How are
they most conveniently to become
owners of the land they till? But sup
pose that this little question were once
practically settled to their satisfaction
that their landlords were somehow
got rid of-that every farmer were
made proprietor of his farm-how long
would such a settlement be allowed to
last in peace?
The agricultural laborers would soon
find out, as indeed some of them have
found out already, that they too have a
land question. They would ask. with
sound reason on their side: "Was it
then just for farmers that the Almighty
made this green island? Are we to
have no part or lot in it, save to work
for subsistence wages on others land?"
There would then arise labor league,
and a new land war would rage
Suppose next that the 1aborers got
their little land question settled some
what to their satisfaction-that the
farmers were compelled to divide their
land with them or take them into part
nership-that thus every agricultural
laborer had at least his three acres
and a cow" Not that there is any
likelihood of things taking such turn;
but still suppose it for the sake of ar
gument. What would happen then?
! There would still be a land question,
for farmers and farm laborers are not
the whole people.
Our townspeople, shopkeepers trades
men, factory and millworllers, etc,
would ask in their turn, with equal
reason: Are we then to have no prop
erty or interest whatever in the soil of
onr native country? What right have
farmers and agricultural la aborers more
than we to share the earth that God
made. who is no respecter of persons?"
So long as there remains single citi-
zen who can not say: II, too, am a joint
owner of the land of this country. 1
have right and interest in the land
equal to the right and interest of any
fellow-citizen," there will still be a
burning land question. for there will
be still an injustice underlying our SO
cial organization
is every citizen-no matter what his
particular department of service is
to obtain an equal interest with every
other citizen in the land of his countryi
The answer to this vital questionable
only answer suitable TO the complicat
ed conditions of our century is: The
| naturalization or municipalization OF
the land. Let everyone pay fair rent
to the community. Let all rent for
land-apart from improvements, which,
of course, are justly the property of
those who make them-all rent for land
alike in town, in mining districts and
| rural districts-from public revenue.
Let this revenue be spent for public
purposes, relieving the people from all
other taxation, imperial and local, and
providing benefits equally free to all.
Such plan. if it were wisely carried
out would have beneficial consequences
| beyond the grandest dreams of our
patl lots and poets"

RUSSiA'S NATIONAL HYMN.
HOW It Was Adopted by tho Car
NtcI1olaa.

1Ao" II was -AuOpCS1 DY tho Gar
Nicholas.
The great part which the Russian ma
tionai hymn has played in western Eu-
rope since the French determination
with Russia has started much inquiry
about its origin. According to the
Franlzfurter Zeitung the hymn is not
yet sixty years old, and was first used
for it's present purpose under Ca,
Nicholas. When he made his tour of
Prussia and Austria in 1885 he vas ac-
companied by Adjt.-Gen. Axtel Feod-
orowitsch Luof, 4 passionate vio-
linist and q composer of some skill.
The czar was impressed by the fact
that every rcgimental band in Ber-
lin and in Vienna greeted him by
playing the national hymn Of their own
country, and this was apologized for by
the known absence of any recognized
national hymn in the great empire
which he ruled. Nicholas was much i'm
pressed by the deficiency, and during
his return journey toward ST. Peters
burg had much talk with Luoff upon
the subject, and at last ordered him to
compose hymn for the Russian mill
tary bands. Luoff hereupon set music
to Schulowsky's God be the Cars
Protector. The Schulowsl1y-Luoffh hymn
was first played publicly before the
czar on November %, 1888, and SO
pleased the sovereign that by ukase
of December of the same year he or
dered it to be adopted as the national
hymn Of Russia. Luoff was not only
rewarded by the gift of gold snuff
box set with diamonds, but permission
was given to him and his heirs to adopt
the first line of the hymn as the family
motto.

Taxes Rest at the Bottom.

If the late campaign in New York
served no other useful purpose, it at
least gave us the benefit of a very brief
and exact statement of the incidence
of taxation from no less distinguished
an advocate of protection than Chaun.
cey NJ. Depew. at Brooklyn, on the
10th of October, he said:
"A popular fallacy is that taxes affect
only those who first pay them There
never was a more fatal belief. 1t is the
peculiarity of taxes that they ultimate
ly rest at the bottom. If the taxes are
on the house, the landlord puts them
on the rent
1t is noticeable that Mr.. Depew care
fully refrains from saying that taxes
on land values are paid ultimately by
the tenant When speaking of land.
lord and tenant it is taxes on the
house, not on the land value, that he
saws are shifted from the first payer tc
the user. And how particularly good
is his remark that taxes ultimately
rest at the bottom" That is precisely
where they do rest and the bottom is
land values. High taxes on land val
ues tend to make land values low; low
taxes tend to make them high.
