produced 294, 900 tons Of phosphate, an d
in Florida 1O6 mines yielded during the
year $780, 900 tons. The total output of
the entire cou ntry for the year was
], $50, 900 tons, and this exceeded the out
put in Germany, which was the largest
European phosphate producing country,
by $4,000 tons.
The Importance of the phosphate beds
in enriching vast area of farm land,
and thus developing the agricultural in
terest of the United States, can hardly
be overestimated. The production of
our enormous cereal crops results in a
constant exhaustion of the soil. 1t is
estimated that single crop of cereals
in the United States takes from the soil
upward OF 1850, 270, 800 pounds of min,
eral matter and over 100000, ZOO
pounds of ash and phosphoric acid An
acre of land must supply about 10
pounds of phosphoric acid to produce
one cereal crop. The need of returning
matter which is constantly being drawn
from it in time becomes a necessity.
The numbers of abandoned farms in
New England bear witness to this fact
In the South, and especially in the
vicinity of the phosphate beds, the phes-
phate has been used in immense GUAM
Titles. Georgia consumed the largest
quantity, or 100000 tons, and South
Carolina 10000 tons. The New Eng
land states used in all 10000 tons, New
York 10000 tons; Pennsylvania $50, 900
tons, and Delaware 10000 tons. 1t is
significant that verv little phosphate
was used in the West, where the soil is
still virgin. The phosphate deposits
cover large TERRITORY in North and
South Carolina and in Florida, and it is
believed that the supply cannot be ex-
hausted for many years.

The publication of the Standard Die

work that, for many reasons, is de
serving of more than passing mention
In the first place, it is the very lates

not to mention smaller and more spe-
cial works. Being the latest, it has Of
course had the advantage of the work
that has been done by it's predecessors.
In the next place, book of this kind,
in the very nature of the case, must have
claims to serious consideration, or it's
publishers would not have ventured to
risk million dollars in it's production.
A careful examination of the book, and
a comparison of it page by page and at
different points of test with the Century S
and Webster's, it's two principal com
Detltors, proves in the most conclusive
and convincing manner that it's merits

that to an uniformed observer might

points wherein this book outranks its

ITS VOCABULARY.
The Standard has a vocabulary Of
more than 300, 600 words by actual count
as against 225. ZOO in the Century, 1885,
600 in the International webster ST.
1O5, 900 in Worster's, and $4,000 in Stor-
months. The increase, of $4,000 words
over dictionary published so recently
as the first named of these, indicates
much more than appears on the surface.
1t means while there are comparatively
few unimportant terms treated that all
literature has been ransacked for it's un-
recorded important terms, and that all
the trades and the arts have been laid
under contribution Tin electricity alone
something like 1000 new terms have
been entered and described). 1t means,
too, as cleaned by research in trial lines
that the characters in the principal
mythologies of the world have been
given: the terms in mysticism, formerly
accessible only in special works, the
very names of which were unknown to
the general reader, have been gathered
together and adequately explained; the
science of Buddhism, with it's little
understood beliefs and system Of wor-
ship, has been unfolded by Max Muller
himself. From such valuable and not
always accessible sources as these, and
the kin dred lines of recent scientific in
vestlgation and economic study, have
come these 5000 words more than the
Century and $4,000 words more than
Webster's International. They repre-
sent the onward march of science, liter
allure, art and labor in the last decade
in word, the progress of the human
race itself. "A Review by W. R.Cochrane

Growth of the Phosphate Industry in the
South.

1t is not generally known that the
United States is fast becoming the prin-
cipal phosphate producing country in
the world. The interest is one of the
first Importance from both the CONNER
cial and economic standpoints, and it is
remarkable that it has been developed
to it's present proportions since the civil
war. Phosphate beds were discovered
in South Carolina as far back as 1887,
but they were not worked to any extent
until 1868, when their output amounted
to some IL 1862 tons. Rich deposits of
phosphate were found In Florida in 1881.
The growth of the industry In these
two states during the past two years has
been very remarkable. In South Caro-

(From the Record, Philadelphia. Pay
Last July the Episcopal hospital admitted
a woman whose pale and emaciated face and
racking cough proclaimed her the vic.
tim of consumption. Ii gave her name as
Mrs. Sallie &. Bowen, wife of Vim. G.
Bowen, residence, 1919 Meighan St, Phila.
delphia- The case was diagnosed and she
was told plainly that she was in an adj
vanced stage Of consumption. The examin-
ing physician even showed her the sunken
place an her breast where the cavity in her
lung was supposed to exist. She went home
to her family a broken, disheartened woman
with death staring her in the face. That was
the beginning OF the story. the end was told
By Mrs Bowen, who no longer expects to
die. to a reporter who visited her home.
THE first symptoms Of consumption came
in the form Of terrible sweats, both night
and day. From April until September /
was constantly cold and kept wrapped up
in blankets through the hottest weather. A
terrible cough took possession of me, my
breast was sore to the slightest touch, and
my limbs were like cold clay. The hardest
rubbing with the coarsest towel would not
create the slightest flush, and the least ex-
ertion would SO exhaust me hat l could
barely gasp for water.

diagnosed MY case as above stated. 1t
was when the clouds were the darkest
that the first CLINT of sunshine came. Mr..

1874 C~lementine St, said to me one day:
Mrs. Bowen. did you ever try DR.. Williams
PM Pills for Pale People! l had never
heard of the medicine, but in my condition
could not turn a deaf ear to anything that
offered relief. It was after considerable
thought and investigation that I concluded
to discontinue all the medicine l was taking,
including cod liver oil. and depend entirely
upon Pink Pills. I began to take the Pills,
ut first with but little encouragement. The
first sign of improvement was a warmth
and a tingling sensation III my limbs.
Finally the cough disappeared, my chest
lost its soreness and l began to gain flesh

cannot praise them too highly
Mrs. Bowen is a kindly faced lady of
middle age, a church member well-kuOwn

well and strong, and it seems almost i'm
possible that she was ever given up by
eminent physicians as an incurable con
sumptive. Yet such IS the case beyond all
