chandeliers and other furniture.
q The scene of Jungle and a long bearded
pious mans coming out of the moon, and ami
mails grazing in the Jungle and Othello's
hunting one of them down. All these sights
would be to attractive to make mention of.
They depend on seeing.
8. The scene of garden with a bridge, therein,
and a river fl living from below. A very be Iu'
tiful sight indeed. Sweet and mellodious sing,

art of dancing
L. Washerman's scene-a river flowing by

What is an EmuIsion2

Milk is true Emulsion, and as milk or cream is
easier to digest and assimate than butter so the
simulate than Oil. This is why SCOTS Emulsion IS
much more useful and effective than the natural Oil
why it accomplishes so much in arresting waste and
building up the body
But it is much more than ordinary fat food 1t has
other constituents that have wonderful healing and
strengthening power and in addition we add the Hypo-
element in overcoming decreased vitality or loss of
flesh. These are the reasons why Scots Emulsion is
benehting to-day hundreds of thousands of consump
t1ves and anaemc persons well as being food and
remedy for sicky, wasting children that is surprising

JAPAN OyEREsTIMATED.

y correspondent writing from Pekin
to a London newspaper comments upon
the prevailing disposition 10 oyeres-
innate the military power and prowess
of the japanese. He writes: Much
has been said recently as to the excel
lence OF the japanese troops and 10
the effect that Japan must 10 be
reckoned as pOwerfulmilitary factor.
Such. however. can scarcely yet be
taken for granted-to rank her army
higher than that Of any third-clasS
European power would assuredly be
to eXaggerate the Importance of her
recent successes. OnnO occasion have
her land forces met with serious resist
ance: her army has drawn its brand
new sword. and shown itself skilled in
ali modern tactics. but there has been
no meeting with any adversary worthy
of the name. Nor. in the present state
of Chinese officialdOm. is there likely
to be: for the same story comes from
every place wherc Chinese troops are
gathered-au utter breakdown in the
supply Of rice, followed by 4 refusal
Of the troops to advance without it.
rs to the Chinese soldiers. he remarks:
''China's humiliation and the utter
collapse of her army are directly due
to the absence of commissariat and
transport organization, and. Indirect
~. of course. to theignorancc and dis
honesty of her officials. The material
of her levies is in many eases excel
lent. Any one. who saw las did the
writer some Il, 900 men Of the Shensi
troops march through the Chinese city
here could not but notice their orderly
conduct and soldierly bearing. Their
RemingtOnS were clean and service
able. their discipline good. and their
physique far superior 10 that of the
Japanese. Given capable leaders and
regular pay these men are splendid
fighting material. But when. on leav-
ing the neighborhood of the capital.
they find themselves defrauded of their
pittance and dependent on their forag-
ing for the days food. is it any great
wonder that they refuse to fight, or
that their line of march is marked by
pillage and rapine?'

Love says that if he is able to remain
at the capital until Friday it will be

being assured by Il number OF Sena-
tors that there was no chance for him

Senator Hill secured the adoption
by the Senate of an amendment to the
item of the appropriation bill making
provision for the collection of the in
come tax, limiting the heterogeneous
of the officers seeking to collect the
tax. The amendment will have the re-
suit of compelling the Treasurydepart-
ment to change its regulations as to
collecting the income tax which have
been Observation-Disclosures tothe internal
revenue collectors throughout the
country. The probability is hat Mr..
Hill thus helps IA good many people to
evade the tax, while protecting them
from inquisitorial methods on the part
of federal officials.

CORN AND
Two staples in Which the United
states Leads the World.

Cotton and corn are the two great
American staples. and the two in (which
the United States stands easily at the
head. not only of all countries but of
all countries combined. The total
cotton supply of the world. figured on
the basis OF bales of 100 pounds each.
is about l.. 100. 900 bales. and of this
amount the United States produces
about 1900. 00o bales. or two-thirds of

war in 1860. when twas 1900. 900 bales.

for cotton since. the crop being 9.0G0.-
900 bales of 40 pounds.
The corn creage Of the United States
for 1891 is 81. 900. 0GG acres. and the
total product loo. 900. 900 bushels of
the value of about $6O0. 00G. 600. The
great corn year was 1889. with Il crop
of , 100. 900. 900 bushels: 1892 followed
with 1000. 600. 900 bushels. In 1892 and
1893 the figures were about the same
800. 900, coo bushels. Compared with
the value of the corn and cotton crop.
the other agricultural productions of
the United States occupy Il subordi-

Two surprises because of the differ
ence in value compared with ordinary
public expectations are hay and to-
bacco. The hay crop of the United
States amounted last year to Si5S. 600
600 in value: the tobacco crop, on the
other hand. amounted TO only So. 000.-
900. The last year preceding 1883
the tobacco crop was 30 per cent
greater. and considerably more than
bali of it came from two States. Ken

important of all State papers, as it is
a complete financial exhibit of the

The subject of criminal costs is dis
cussed and attention is called to the
fact that the unpaid bills of 1894, now
on file in his office, amount to
Sill. 426, so, which. with the 1925. 900
estimated for payment of bills in 1885,
90, make a total of S6i2, 426, so to be
provided for by this Legislature. This
item of public expenditure, he says,
has been about equal to Zoe per capita
of the population during the past fifty
years. and suggest, very pOintedly,
that if the laws were so amended as to
bring about the more speedy trial of
persons charged with crime, limiting
continuances and changes of venue,
the effect would be a very material re-
duction of this expenditure. He does
not belive that the fees OF the officers
charged with the enforcement OF the
criminal code can be safely reduced,

allowed for similar services in civil

Senator Sherman has introduced Il
bill which may be described As an
emergency currency measure. for the
relief of the Treasury. 1t authorizes
the issue OF ) per cent. short-term
bonds. or, in lieu of bonds. certificates
of indebtedness, payable in coin after
five years. and in denominations OF
So to 800, bearing ; per cent interest.
If another loan is a necessity-and
the Treasury situation each day grows
worse-the Sherman plan is a sound
n If bonds or certificates of in
debtedness must be issued let them be
of small denomination, and be offered
to the American people, instead to
banking syndicates or foreign inves-
tors. There is a vast volume of money
aorded by people who distrust banks.
The absolute security of government
bonds. and the fact that these boards
could be made productive of interest
by being invested in them, would draw
out many millionso of money.
