and one which is not taken into ac-
count in the statistics Of production of
the Pennsylvania fields. IT. is a heavy
oil of low cold test, which is used for
the manufacture of superior grades of
lubricating oil. The wells in West Vir-
ginia also produce an oil of heavy grav-
ity used exclusively in the manufacture
of superior grades OF lubricating oil.
Important discoveries of petroleum
have also been made in Wyoming and
in several of the Southern States, and
it is believed that petroleum may be
found in nearly every State. The wells
in California produce oil of quality
similar to the Bradford oil, and in
quantity sufficient to supply the require
ments of the entire Pacific coast of the
United States

"Pellets" are superior in great many
ways to ali mineral waters, sedlitz powders,
salts, castor oil, fruit syrups laxative teas,
and other purgativc compounds. Made of
concentrated vegetable ingredients, they
act III a mild, natural way. Their second
airy effect is 10 keep the liver active and the
bowels regular, not to further constipate,
as is the case with other pills. They don't
interfere in the least with the diet, habits
or occupation, and produce no pain, grip

OF. Fields OLE OHIO

have been developed since 1885, and
pipe lines haye been laid and immense
storage tanks erected. The oil is in
ferior to that of Pennsylvania and
West Virginia. The principal fields in
this State are in the vicinity Of the city
of Lima, in North Baltimore, Wood
county, and in Monooe county. A pipe
line has been constructed from the
Lima field to Chicago supplying that
city with 5000 barrels daily of the
liquid fuel The transport of petro-
leum was formerly confined to railway
vessels, but the fear from explosion
has been found to be groundless, and
steamships are now regularly engaged
in carrying both crude and refined pc
troleum. Steamships and sailing yes
sells have been constructed to cary Pc
troleum in bulk In their hnlls are
fitted iron tanks which occupy the en-
tire space between decks, into which
the oil is pumped direct from the res
ervoirs at the retineries. Arriving at
its destination, the ship is unloaded by
powerful steam pumps in one-ffth of
the time required to unload vessel of
similar size loaded with oil in barrels
MARRET VALUE.
The price of crude petroleum has
varied greatly. The highest price real
lied was $40 per barrel during the first
five months following the date of drill
ing the first well by Col. Drake, in 80.
The production, however, soon exceed
ed the demand, and there being at that
time but imperfect facilities for stor-
age, the price declined rapidly and
reached the lowest point in NoYember,
1861, when oil was sold at the wells at
FIVE cents per barrel. AS improved
methods for refining the oil were in.
vented the demand increased and the
price advanced reaching S14 per barrel
in July, 1864. This was in the early
history of the industry. During the
later years, while the fluctuations haye
at times been sudden, the range of
prices has been within much narrower
limits and values have been for the
most part governed by the usual trade
conditions. Speculation on the petro-
leum exchanges has at times governed
prices and caused depression in values
despite decreasing stocks, increasing
consumption and restricted production
The most prolific oil field yet devel-
oped is what is known as the Bradford
field, and the Sistersville field is des-
tined at no distant date to be its sue
cessor.
The Bradford field has produced dur
ing the last twenty years over 1876 600,
600 barrels of crude petroleum. The
greatest product was in the year 1881,
when the enormous total of $4,000, 600
barrels was reached, The number of
wells drilled in this field in 1882 reach
cd B. 0sS, and the total number since oil
was discovered in that prolific terri
tory exceeds TO- 900, about ten per cent
of which were unproductive. Venango
county, where oil was first pumped by
Col. Drake, has produced something
more than 5000, 900 barrels. Butler
and Clarion counties have together ex-
ceeded 70, 900, Geo barrels.
The oil district known as
THE FRANKLIN FIELD,
produces an oil distinct in character

There is universal belief that big
Berea field will be opened back of the
Waverly field and in the vicinity of the
gassers on the Rolston farm. The gas
there is from the Berea and oil men
think that it is only a question of which
side of the gassers is the big pool of oil
that they are looking for. Two wells
that are being watched with great in
terest and on which depends largely
the future of that territory are the
Barnsdall well, on the Ingram farm,
which is down 1700 feet and should
have the sand soon and the Baer & Al
ford well, on the Ogden, which is al
most as deep as the Barnsdalf and
should also have the sand soon.-Jour-

In the hurry or speech and the anxiety to
be polite one Is very often liable to slips OF
the tongue which may put an entirely diff
ferent construction upon the sentence than
was intended. Fors example, upon arriving
at your entertainers house, you say; IL beg
a thousand pardonsl for coming late and
are met by your hostess with the words:
My dear sir, no phrduns are needed; you
can never come too late"
Take another instance. At an evening
party in Cork a woman said to her partner.
Can you tell ms who that exceedingly
plain man is sitting opposite to us?" THAT
is my brother" "Oh. | beg your pardon"
she replied, much confused, II did not notice
the resemblance"
That was certainly putting ones foot in
II, and yet, perhaps, was not so awkward
as the following: After a certain concert a
well known German cantatrice asked q man
to whom she had been introduced how he
liked the duet. you sang charminglv,
madam. But why do you select such a horrid
piece of music?' Sir, that was written by
my late husband!' "Ah, yes. of course. I
did not mean-but why did you select such
an ass to sing with you?" "Acn himmel,
that is my present husbandl'
A woman said something the other day at
a friends dinner that found a mark the
archer little meant. There were several
strangers present. duu III ltSDOiSS 70 II re-
mark made about a certain woman of a GER
tain age the fair guest in question exclaimed:
"Why, good gracious! she is as old as the
hills!'' and could not imagine in the least
what had caused the general CONSERVATION
She did a little later, however, when 1t was
explained to her that two maiden sisters at
the table, whose names she did not catch
in the Introduction, were called Hill and were
extremely sensitive on the subject of age.
Here. my dear husband said a loving
wife. 81 have brought you a little silver
pig for luck. It's a charm, you know, dear,
to bring happiness to a house,
"Ah, how kind of you, darling! But why
should l need a little pig to bring me luck
when l have you still?"
An awkward compliment recently rather
disturbed the harmony of a wedding
breakfast given by a substantial farmer
blessed with five daughters, the eldest being
the bride. A neighboring young farmer, who
was honored with an invitation, thinking, no
doubt, he ought to say something smart and
complimentary upon the event, addressing
the bridegroom, said: well, you have got
the pick Of the batch" The countenances
Of the four unmarried ones may be i'm

SUriun Time

Is when nearly everyone feels the need Of
some blood purifying, strength invigorating
and health producing medicine. The real
merit of Hoods Sarsaparilla is the reason of
its widespread popularity. Its unequaled
success Is its best recommendation. The
whole system is susceptible to the most good
from a medicine like Hoods Sarsaparilla
taken at this time, and we would lay special
stress upon the time and remedy, for history
has 1t recorded that delays are dangerous.
The remarkable success achieved by Hoods
Sarsaparilla and the many words of praise
II has received make Il worthy Of your con-
fdence. We ask you to give this medicine
d fair trial.

Electric Dittera.

Electric Bitters is a medicine suited for any
season, but perhaps more generally needed in
the spring, when the languid exhausted feel
Ing prevails, when the liver is torpid and
sluggish and the need of a tonic and altera-
tive is felt. A prompt use of this medicine
has often averted long and perhaps fatal
bilious fevers. No medicine will act more
surely in counteracting and freeing the
system from the malaral poison. Headache,
indigestion, constipation, dizziness yield to
Electric Bitters. Only fifty cents per bottle
