Juo W. Rowen, of Des Moines, Iowa
while snow bound at Carroll, Iowa,
through exposure contracted severe
cold. After several useless trials OF var
ious remedies he purchased bottle Of
Cubeb Cough Cure, and says the cure
was magical. and after taking two doses
he could breathe freely, and enjoy a good
sleep that night undisturbed. Another
case is on record where a lady had not
slept more than one or two hours a night
for months, who after using only ore
bottle, was well and happy,

Persians in general are not supposed to
be the bravest people in the world, but
even in Persia the inhabitants of Kashsn,

Their pusillanimity has passed into a

One of the best of these is that when

Coal Disbursements Forever.

In view of the oft threatened exhaustion
OF coal deposits the opinion of Dr. Men
deleiff, the Russian chemist, that petroleum
is probably inexhaustible, is somewhat re-
assuring. He attributes the formation of
petroleum to the constantly renewed action
of water on the metallic deposits of the hot
central portion of the earth, and believes
that the rapidity of its formation keeps
pace with the extraction.-New York Press,

Tho magnitude Of the agricultural
force of our country Is brought before
us at glance by the figures Of the
crops they produce Final estimates
for the corn and wheat crops for 1892
are IN, and show that OF the former we
raised 1.G2S. aga. 900 bushels, and Of the
latter Ji5.O40OO0 bushels.
And yet these 1.62S, 100000 bushels
Of corn brought the farmers only SGi2,-
t46.G3O. while the crop Of 1890, only
.4S90 100000 bushels, brought return
Of sos, 433,451 That is. the returns
for 13S,49iOOO more bushels were less
by Sli22S0,OO0 than for the year 1890
IL is not, therefore, the number OF
bushels we gather that brings wealth,
50 much as extrancous conditions that
control the price Had the same price
per bushel been obtained in 1892 as in
1890, the farmers Of this country would
have been better off by Si77OOO,OO0
than they are.
The wheat crop Of 1892 Is placed at
5l5,0i0.OOO bushels. valued ut $500
l1l.SS1, against 11,TSOOOO bushels Ia
1891. valued ut S5i3412,71l The
average value of last years crop WIS
only GA cents per bushels, against an
average Of $50 cents In 1891. Here
the much higher price per bushcl for the
larger crop is to be- accounted for boy the
European shortage aud the large guam
uty carried over into the last years sup
ply from the crop of the year before. In
The case of wheat IL has happened Of
terer than In the case of corn that
smaller crop has been worth more than
q large one. The large crop of 1851
j12,7Gj,OOO bushels-was valued at only
$3.50. So 300, while the 1891 crop NJ
only S3,2SD,O0O bushels, was valued at
