The Ottoman Empire.

In the beginning of the thirteenth CEN
tury the annual revenue of the Byzantine
empire amounted to e130, ,000,0 900. Yet
at that time not only was the eastern
empire greatly impoverished by the
ravages Of the crusades, but the chief
part of Asia Minor, with its lourishing
cities, had been wrested from her by the
arms of Islam. Today the revenue of the
Ottoman empire is less than el9,000,-
900. The silence of desolation now
broods over vast regions which were once
thickly peopled. we'll cultivated, abound
ing in f1ourishing cities'and rejoicing in
an advanced civilization. Territories
which formerly supported the capitals Of
ancient Acknowledgements, Sardis,
Cyzicus, Prusium, Troy, Nicomedia and
many more-have been reduced under
Islam to cheerless solitudes, broken at
intervals by Kurds or wandering Turko-
mans.
According to Ubicini, who spent 20
years in the civil administration of the
porte and wrote in defense of Turkey 40
years ago, the annual produce of corn IN
Asia Minor was then estimated at 25;-
900, 900 Turkish kiles, which. he thinks,
might easily be increased tenfold "if the
great productiveness of the soil were
turned to account. "The same re-
mark" he adds, "applies to all other
productions which serve for local con-
sumption or for expectation. But in
stead of increasing during the last 40
years there has been an accelerated de-
crease. The decay of every kind of man.
ufacture has kept pace with the decline
of agriculture. Diarbekir and Broussa,
once SO famous for their velvets, satins
and silk stuffs, have been ruined. So
have Aleppo and Bagdad. Turkey
abounds also in mineral wealth. 1t pos.
sesses copper mines which yield 30 per
cent of ore, while the best British mines
yield only about 10 per cent. And there
is coal in abundance within easy access.

AN Official of the Weather Bureau
tells how cyclones are formed, as fol-
lows: "These tornadoes usually fol-
low the path of general storm condl-
tions that move slowly from the west
to the east, of from the southwest to
the northeast. At this time of the
year these storms are quite frequent
and the cyclonic conditions may be
produced at any moment while such a
disturbance is passing over the coun.
tay. During April and May the cy-
clone area is subject to visitations Of
this character at almost any hour. 1t
is noticeable that in each of the four
big cases of this kind that have occur
red recently the storms have broken
in their intensity in the late afternoon
or evening. While the Michigan cy.
clone was doing its damage storm
formed on the southwestern edge Of
the storm country and began passing
over Missouri. After the center had
gone by St, Louis the severe winds
from the northwest met those from
the southeast and a tornado resulted. >

According to celebrated anatom-
ist there are upwards of 5,000,000
little glands in the human stomach.
These glands pour out the digestive
juices which dissolve or digest the
food. Indigestion is want of juice,
weakness of glands, need of help to
restore the health of those organs
The best and most natural help is
that given by Shaker Digestive
Cordial. Natural. because it supplies
the materials needed by the glands to
prepare the digestive juices. Because
it strengthens and invigorates the
glands and the stomach, until they
are able to do their work alone.
Shaker Digestive Cordial cures
indigestion certainly and permantly.
1t does so by natural means, and
therein lies the secret ofits wonderful
and UNMARRIED success.

A boy has been suspended from
the Defiance schools for reading the
following essay on pants; "Psnts
are made for men not men for pants.
When a man pants for a woman and
a woman pants for man, they are a
pair of pants. Such pants don't last.
Pants are like molasses. They are
thinner in hot weather and thicker in
cold. The man IN the moon changes
his pants during the eclipse. Don't
you go to the pantry for pants, you
might be mistaken. Men are often
mistaken in pants. Such mistakes
are breeches of promise. There has
been much discussion as to whether
pants are singular or plural. Seems
to me when men wear pants they are
plural, and when they don't wear
pants it is singular. Men go on a
tear in pants and it is all right, but
when the pants go on tear it is all
wrong.

Troubles That Would Follow Nc
Kinley's Election to the
Presidency.

Ii the Republicans elect the Presi-
dent next fall and have majority in
both Houses, they will probably pass
something like the old Mckinley
tariff bill, and they will generally
suppose that this will bring in an
era of prosperity; but it will not do
so any more than the old Mckinley
tariff which led to the terrible defeat
of 1890. 1t will be full of excesses
and abuses which will bring about
another reaction, and there will then
be in a few years another kink of tar
iff with similar result. Prosperity
will wait for a settlement OF the cur
rency question. Once community
adopts the plan of getting rich oy
legislation it bids good-by to steadi-
ness. No matter what acts are passed
the mass of the population remains
poor or fails IN business, and then
lays the blame on the legislation or
on the Legislators, and tries new men
or new measures. 1t has always been
so, and will always be so. The gov.
ernmenL Of the day is always respons.
ible for both the weather and the
crops, and this alone will make Nc
Kinley's election national misfor-
tune. 1t is not that he will make
protective tariff that we fear, but that
he will make another tariff which
people will not put up with very long.

Prayed For Clothes.

The Rev. W. Fl. Moore, pastor of the
Methodist church at Stevensrille, Mich,
is now firm believer in special answers to
prayers. He prayed for new suit of
clothes the other day and on the day fol-
lowing received a present of fine suit
from Dakota friend. The fact that the
suit was on its way to him when he was
praying for it counts fer nothing with
him. Something might haze happened to

Krussr's Idea of Government.

The report of recent tour made by
President Kruger of the Transyaal repub-
lie throws considerable light on his ideas
Of government. At one place leading
burgher wanted compulsory education
law. The president simply would not hear
of it. "No, no." he ourtly replied.
"That is church question, not a political
one" But" urged another burgher,
"why could we not have compulsory edu-
cation, as other countries havep" EYES,"
replied the president, ignoring the case Of
England, education Is compulsory in 9TH
