DO You Suffer From Asthm.,

If you do, you will be interested in knowing
that the Kola Plant new botanic discovery
found on the Congo River, West Africa, is pro-
nounced an assured cure for the disease. Most
marvellous cures are wrought by this new plant,
when all other remedies fail. Rev. q. Els
worth Stump. Pastor Of the Congregational
Church. Newell, Iowa, writes that the Kola
Plant cured him of severe Asthma of twenty
years standing; Alfred G. Lewis Editor of the
Farmers Magazine, of Washington, ID. c., tcsti-
fies that it cured him when he could not lie
down at night without fear of choking, and
many others give similar testimony. 1t is
really most wonderful discovery. To prove
to you beyond doubt it's wonderful curative
power, The Kola Importing Company, No. 1854
Broadway, New York, will send a large case OF
the Kola Compound free by mail to every reader
of THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE who suffers from
any form of Asthma. They only ask in return
that when cured yourself you will tell your
neghbors about it. This is very fair, and you
should surely try it. as it costs you nothing.

we have elected President who served in

have helped to save the country second

of Washington, dedicated to the private sol
diers and sailors of the late war. / think it
a good plan 10 have committee of one from

THE BIGGEST DIAMOND.
d. Aho1I;Tli q xt.x,syn. !


The largest known diamond was re-
Gently found in Brazil. Though so
large, the stone is by no means SO val
uable as many smaller ones, being .
.sblaclz diamond and unsuited for use
as a gem.
The diamond in question weighs
3,1oo carats, and is, therefore, as we
have said above, by far the largest ever
known. The great Jagersfontain di-
arnond, which was found in South At
rica about two years ago, and which
was said to be the largest known to be
IN existence up TO that time, weighed
970 carats.
The stone mentioned was found in
the carbon district. the old diamond
field OF Brazil It is of the class known
as ssbIack diamonds" or commercially
as carbon, which are used In diamond
drills and for similar purposes, their
color not adapting them TO ornament.
The original finder is, we believe,
not known. AT the present time the
OF Kahn & CO., Of Paris, and the Brazil
ian government is negotiating for its
purchase for the National museum.
ssThe value is placed by experts at be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000. The price
paid for 1T by the present owners is
| somewhat uncertain, one account put
ting it at $4,000, while another said
that they paid 50 shillings three pence
fEnglish) per carat, which would make
the price nearly SAC, 600, or not far from
! its probable maximum value. There is
little doubt that ii will eventually be
placed In the Brazilian museum, as no
| private Arm could afford TO pay the
amount asked by Its present folders, or
! which would be likely to be asked by
any commercial house into whose
hands ii might pass Engineering

Prospect for the Future as Presented to
the Discouraged Farmer.
The price Of horses has of late been
so reduced that farmers are discour
aged in horse raising. The low prices
now prevailing are due to want of
demand on account of the electric car
system, which has been. SO generally
established throughout the cities and
some parts Of the country for rapid
transportation. This is, no doubt, in
some part the cause Of the weak de-
Tnand for horses in the markets. There
is, however, another cause, which will
be found in overprodu duction. A few
wears ago the horse craze, as II may
be called, prevailed among farmers, and
there was scarcely anyone who was not
breeding either first-class roadsters or
bIooded drivers.
For these. for a few wears. first-cIass
prices were obtained, and the demand,
which was All the time a fictitious one.
produced a sort of boom in horsefesh,
with an oyersupply. and now there are
too many horses for the market, which
has for the time been somewhat dbnin--
ished by the electric car lines.

rhe nralarious Belt, Africa

At the meeting OF the international
geographical congress, In only two
points of import was there any. APP
pearance of q consensus of opinion.
The FIRST was the very obvious fact shat
the entire coast line Of tropical Africa
and the lower courses Of the great;
rivers broadly speaking, the coastal
zone presented, great obstacles to the
establishment Of European sett1ements,
owing to the malariaI character Of the
climate. It fs for this reason that we
find the European settlements on the
coasts situated on islands or peninsular
lands. The soils most favorable to the
propagation Of malaria are naturally
those or the maritime regions and the
fertile fats bordering the lower, and
sometimes the middle, courses of the
great rivers; and 1t is here we find ma
Iarial fevers in their worst or remittent
forms are epidemic. This perni-
cious variety prevails also Id low-1y 1ying,
marshy districts under q certain alti-
tude. Consequently, rapid transit

taThe most remarkable case, though

gan, .swas that of Pat Mulhgan, WITH
whom worked for many 9 year. In
june. 1881, Mulligan was working at thef
GRAY Rock, when the shaft on that
property was about 225 feet deep.
Mulligan was one Of the sinking crew.,
and one day the bucket which was used
for taking ont the waste and water
was being hoisted to the surface. The.
bucket was almost filled with water ana ''s
the shaft men, unknown 70 the top man,
nut six dull drills in the bucket 10 be
sent On top TO be sharpened. The top
man dumped the water in o trough as
the collar Of the shaft without closing
the trap doors On top and one OF tne
drills rolled out, struck the trough, ana
fell OF down the shaft. 1t was an inch
drill about two feet long and weighed
about six pounds. Mulligan was IN g
STOPPING position when the drill struck
him. It hit him back Of the shoulder
blade, passed clean through the body,
narrowly missing his heart, and partly
emerged from between the ribs. Null
ligan's horror-stricken comrades In the
shaft rushed to his assistance and We're
| about to pull the drill out from his
back when Mulligan calmly seized the the
| lower end Of the drill from where It
protruded and by great effort pulled
| 1t through the body and threw il down
at his feet. 1t was a wonderful exhl-
i bition of strength and fortitude, but
everybody who heard Of the accident
was confident that he could not survive
i He lowered between life and death for
/ about three weeks, and finally got ap-
parently as well as ever. He worked
for fen years in the mines Of Butte and
Granite, but finally met with a horrl'
