OVER A BILLION DOLLARS.

Probable street Paving Expenditure In
America for the Next Ten Years.
1t is only in American cities having
population of more than 10, 600 that
less than one-.hird of the total lengths
of streets has been paved in any man
ner. If the construction of new pave
ments on the remaining "A, S3s miles of
streets in such cities proceeds as rapid
" as now seems proba BILE, the expendi-
lures for this work for the next ten
years will aggregate upward of $1,000
900, 900. 1t is doubtful if more than 50
per cent. of the streets of these cities
would then be well paved From a
well-paved street abutting real estate
derives increased value, hardly ever
less and often many times more than
the cost apportioned to it. 1t is, there
fore, right that abutting property
should. as it does in most American
cities, bear the cost of the construction
of a pavement, which becomes at once
sala BILE value. on which the property
owner alone can realize. The benefits
are shared to some extent by adjacent
property which may not abut on the
street. but it is doubtful if a fair and
practical apportionment of the cost
could be carried beyond the border
line, though the justice of this restrio-
ton is almost intolerabiy strained
when one paved street is compelled to
bear the travel that would pass over
others if put in equally good condition.

FARMER IMMIGRANTS WANTED.
The Experiment Which an Ohio Capital
ist VIII Try IN Nebraska.

The Experiment Which an Ohio Capital
ist WIN Try IN Nebraska.
A plan for securing farmer immi-
grants has just been put in operation
in Nebraska by wealthy Ohio manu-
facturer. and it is the understanding
of the South that Gov. NOrthen, of
Georgia, advocates similar expert
ment in his state. Some time ago the
Ohio man purchased $4,000 acres in Ne
brasSa. In the center of this tract 16O
acres are laid off for the village site,
and in the center of this forty acres
for a public park. Facing the park
are the school, church or churches,
public halls, stores, shops, etc. The
remainder is cut up into $40 lots
of about half acre each for dwellings
for the farmers, storekeepers. mechan-
les and others who may seek resi-
dence in the village. After providing
for the village the rest of the 1000
acres is divided into $50 farms of about
eighty acres each, with roads so laid
out as to give each farmer an open
highway to the village. 1t is proposed
to sell these farms on time. giving
ample time to the purchasers to pay
for them, and to assist in the building
of the village by helping to build the
schoolhouses, churches and such other
public buildings as may be desired If
this idea is carried out. there will be
a village with $50 families of farmers,
and perhaps fifty or more other fam
lilies of storeleepers, mechanics and
others, say village of 200 families, or
1000 people, which would make con-
siderable place.
Gov. Northen suggests that land
owners form joint stock companies,
purchase a central tract for the village,
build a church. a schoolhouse, store,
have post Office esta blished, and then
let those nearest the village site either
build. or if practicable move their
dwellings to the village site, thus Civ
ing it start. Then subdivide the
large farms into small ones, and invite
settlers to come. purchase and become
residents of the village.

THE PR,LeRIMAGE TO MECCA.
Wells of That City Are Among the Prin-
cipal Sources OF Cholera.

Wells of That City Are Among the Prin-
cipal Sources Of Cholera.
Apropos of a dispatch from Tunis
which saws that out of body of nine
thousand pilgrims who visited Mecca
one-half died of cholera, and that of the
seven hundred Turkish soldiers sent
after the pilgrims to bury the dead and
help the living five hundred perished,
the New York Herald gives some ac-
count of the sacred city and the
sacred professions. 1t is estimat-
ed that TIE pilgrims annually
number from fifty TO seventy thousand.
They come from all parts of the
Mohammedan world. tor every Mos
lem is bound under certain conditions
to pay at least one visit to the holy
city Mecca. as is well-known, lies
in the heart Of mass of rough
hills. intcrsected bv narrow valleys.
It's regular population is supposed to
be about fifty thousand, but the city
always contains many more persons,
for before the pilgrims to one festival
have left those to another begin to ar
rive. The streets are fairly spacious,
but very poorly kept. There is
good supply of pure water, brought
By an underground conduit, but
this is furnished freely only to
townspeople, the pilgrims having
to pay for it. As result the
latter patronize the wells which
are supposed to be principal sources of
cholera. One of these is the well of
Zemzem, which is the holiest place in
the city after the Kaaba, or temple.
According to Mohammedan tradition
this well is the source from which Ha-
ger drew water for her son Ishmael.
1t is now inclosed in a massive vaulted
building, paved with marble. The
water is eagerly drank by the pill
grims, poured over the body to give
miraculous refreshment, and carried
away in jars. AS though the water
and the city's filth were not sufficient
cause for cholera, the sacrifcial
slaughter of thousands of animals,
whose carcasses are left for the sun to
act upon. complete the work of germ
propagation.
The caravans approaching and leav-
ing Mecca are picturesque sights. The
members are full of faith in Allah, and
proud of having attended the great
festival. In the midst of the process
sion guard of honor escorts the pyr-
amidal wooden structure which, under
gorgeous canopy and borne by
camel, contained on the outward jour
ney the sacred carpet which is left in
the Kaaba, Mecca's holiest of holies
On the return journey the great casket
is empty, but even then it remains an
object of veneration, and military
guard of honor accompanies it.

The approaching winter offers many
dangers to those whose powers OF resist

Indoor-life soon impoverishes the blood
and lowers the tone of the nervous sys-

precipitate an enfeebled system into seri'
Gus illness.
The aged and infirm must now look
carefully to their health. Badly fed nerves
must have more abundant nutrition;
the blood requires nourishment. Paine's

people well, should now be used.
Paine's celery compound gives new life

makes the weak strong.
Paine's celery compound for many years
