a TIMELY REMINDER.
very fine,

Each season forces upon our con-
sideration its own peculiar perils to
health. The advent of fall finds
many reduced in strength and vigor,
poorly prepared to continue the bus
mess of life. The stomach and bow
els, the greatest highway animal
economy, is especially liable to dis
order in the fall. The nervous sys-
tenn has also suffered in the struggle.
Typhoid fever andmalaria in partic-
ular find in the fall that combina-
ton of earth, air and water that
mark this season as especially dan
gerous. The falling leaves, the de-
caying vegetables contribute their
share OF contamination. Hoods Sar-
saparilla furnishes most valuable
safeguard at these important points,
and should be used in the fall before
serious sickness has laip you low.

Mexico's Mineral Wealth.

The number of mines now being worked in Mexico, according to recent data, is at least 3.600. with others worked only at intervals, and others still whose operations are hardly worthy of mention. If to these are added the large number of abandoned claims, many of which, if reopened, would yield important returns-even greater in some cases than those now in course of development-the total would reach, according to our chief informant, incredible figures" while new mines are being discovered day by day. The total amount invested in the silver mines of Mexico is roughly esti- mated at s160, ,000,O 900, of which not more than one-eighth is American cap- ital, while only an amount equal to one-third of the latter, or e6, 500, 900, is British capital. The annual yield of Mexican silver and gold collectively is set down at about fs, ,5o0,0Oo The out put of copper figures at a bout $500, 1000, and of coal at 9s00,0OO. If we include iron, sulphur, clay, mercury, salt stone, and metalloids, the estimated annual total of mining products would amount to not less than e13, 400, ,00O.- Westminster Review.

A Long Drop.

Gussie De Vero was to have gone up in balloon at Jacksonville, Fla, and make flying leap in a parachute. She did not make her appearance, and Miss Russell. who has been posing at a side show in Jacksonville as a Cir cassian beauty, consented to take her place. Miss Russell did not hear the report of pistol that was to be the signal for her to jump, and the balloon went up 1000 feet more. She then cut loose from the balloon, and when the parachute descended it landed Miss Russell in the middle of the St. Johns river. She became entangled in the parachute, and was only saved after going down twice.

SCHOOL AND CHURCH.

In the public schools of France 24.2 per cent. of the pupils are shortsight- ed, of Germany 35 per cent, and of the United Kingdom 20 per cent. Lack of exercise seems the chief cause.
 A small hospital of some twenty or more beds has just been opened in Edinburgh to provide means of med ical instruction and training in nurs- ing for those who are to become deacon esses in connection with the church of Scotland.
 According uto .apFrench newspa- per, there are in the French academy three Protestants, Victor Cherbuliez, Leon Say and M. de Freycinet; one freethinker, Alexander Dumas: one atheist, M. Challemel Lacour, while nearly everyone of the rest is nom- inal Catholic
 Key. Kevork Ardzrouni, who was ordained an Armenian priest in Sep- tember, 1883, and whose influence in the Armenian church in Constantino- pie has been thorough for many years. died lately at the age of 107 years. His last sermon was preached Easter, 1892. when he wGs carried into the church in chair.
 Since the death of Dr. Holmes there are only four surviving members of the class of 1929 of Harvard, namely, Dr. Edward l.. Cunningham, of Newport, k. l.; Rev. Samuel May (the class sec retary), of Leicester; Rev. Samuel F. Smith. of Newton, the author of Americas" and Charles S. Storrow, of Boston.

 The board of education of Passaic. N. d., recently made the teaching of cooking regular part of the curri- culum for the uppeY grades in the fe- male schools. Recently twenty or thirty girls in one of the schools made a salad. They then inadvertently ate it, and every blessed one of them was promptly taken sick. Hereafter they will probably give the manufactured product to the poor.
 One of the best private schools in Paris, the Ecole Monge, has just been bought by the government for mill lion dollars. The school was estab- lished by private individuals in compe- tition with the state lycees, and held its own in scholarship in the public examination, its mathem atical and scientific training being especially good. It was in financial difficulties. however, and must have closed had not the state intervened
 The great wealth, either of the Mormon church or of the individuals at its head, has been again demon strated by the recent investment of Sl0,000,00O by the First Presidency" in new corporation called the Utah company. This new company is to operate coal mines, railroad, a bath ing beach and pleasure resort at the great Salt Lake, and build, equip and operate telegraph and telephone lines. This is purely church scheme, in which gentiles have no part, and is, like the Zion Cooperative Co.,, to be managed to add to the wealth of the church.

Methodism and Tobacco Chewing.

Bishop w. w. Duncan of South Caro-. lima, in opening the Florida Methodist conference at Jacksonville, gave novel admonition to the 1l3 assembled cler- gymen and delegates-novel at least to those who are unfamiliar with the con- ditions in the rural districts of the south. The bishop cautioned those del- egates who chew tobacco not to expec- torate on the floor or on the handsome new carpet, which has recently been put down in the McTyreue Memorial church. He told them that if they must chew tobacco they should go out side, and they would find nice new curbstone and plenty of fresh sand to expectorate upon, or they could bring their own cuspidors, and, in case of emergency they could use their hats.
 Rev. J. P. Depass put in a good word for the preachers by saying that he was in railway passenger coach with twenty of them, and not one in the party chewed tobacco, and that he be- lieved but few of those present used the weed.

Dr. Braxton Shields, one of the pro- prietors of drug store, was found dead in his room above the store at Selma, Ala, the other morning. There was nothing in the room, which was in perfect order, to indicate the cause of death, and an examination of the body gave no clew whatever. The supposition is that the young man died of heart failure
