AS THE Presidents extension of the
scope OF the operation of the civil SER
vice law has deprived the political
worker of all hope of official reward,
payment of his services in cash is all
he can reasonably expect to receive.
Therefore, the party with the most
money has the best chance of securing
the next Presidency. This being the
case, the prospect of neither the popu.
lists nor the democrats is very favorable.
No one at all familiar with the
changes that has taken place 10 the
character of the people OF the country
suppose that patriotic motives now in
fl elce one tenth of the voters. What
influences voters most now, after mon
ey, is either ignorance or prejudice.

The cyclist addressed the air.

The temples of India are to be lighted
with electricity, the example having
been set by the great shrine of silva, at
Eochicaddie, near Mutwai, in Ceylon,
and is to be speedily followed by the
equally vast and ancient foundation
of the Natukotto, in the same island.
In no long time others will adopt the
same Improvement, till all the holy
places of the peninsula are so equipped
that by pressing a button they can be
instantly Illuminated, like modern
hotel or theatre The innovation is
enough to make silva and Vishnu, and
even the great Brahma himself, gasp

WHY Women Live Longer Than Men.

In the 43th registration report Of
Massachusetts, N&:D) the compiler pre-
sents the statistic of DOB persons who
were reported rs having died during the
years 0SS1-JO) at the age of one hun
dred and over. OF this number 1913, or
75.4 per cent, were females. By the
State census of 1885 the number of fe
males living over eighty years of ago
was nearly double that of males. The
greater exposure of men to accidents,
10 weather agencies, to the constant
strain of business life, to the anxiety Of
providing for the family, all tend to
shorten the life of men. The deaths by
accident among men are more than
threefOld greater than among women,
and men commit suicide in about n
three-foid ratio as compared with wo-
men,

A Meteorite that Paid a Mortgage,

Another illustration of uses to which
meteorites may be put before their real
character is known, is afforded by those
Of Kiowa county, Kansas. They fell
on a prairie where rocks We're scarce
and valuable, and the farmers Of the
vicinity found meteorites convenient
for holding down haystacks, stable
roofs, Or covers to rain barrels For
such purposes they might have been
used for long time, had not the wife
Of one of the farmers become convinced
that there was something unusual
about them, and called in an expert to
examine them. He at once recognized
their nature, and the enterprising wo-
man finally sold hers for enough to pay
of heavy mortgage upon the farm.

Germany-The month has been generally
favorable to the standing grain. Late tele-

such sanguine words as those from France
and Austria, but fair average crops are pre-
dicted.
Holland and Belgium-Crops are flourish

"While in Geneva some months ago"
said Colonel J. r. Reynolds, II visited
the principal watch works there, and as
a matter of curiosity asked the mali
ager what was the highest price watch
that was made in Geneva. He said
that the most expensive watch turned
out in Switzerland was worth 500.
This watch had split second hand and
struck the hours if needed. 1t also had
in it a tiny musical box, which played
three distinct tunes. This watch, he
said, was the finest that could be made,
but that ornaments, diamonds, etc,
could be worked into the cases, which
would run the price up into as many
thousands as the purchaser desired.
He said there had been one watch made
in his establishment the cases OF which
had been studded with diamonds, ana
which cost $4,000, but as far us the
watch itself Was concerned it was q
500 watch.

the knowledge that SO many forms Of
sickness are not due to dhy actual dis

ton Of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. It's therefore

Fields.
The natural gas production in the United
States in 1895 is reviewed in report of the
geological survey, complied by Expert Joseph
D. Weeks. The total value was $4,000, $50
against $13, 1854, 400 in 1894. The value OF
the product consumed was S7,920.l87, and
SO, 1853 .230 was the value of coal or wood dis
placed by gas. The total pipe laid was A.
$50, 241 feet, and producing wells opened
1926. The value of the consumption during
1865 was the greatest in 1888, when it was
S22,629,o75. From then to 1895 the decrease
was rapid and in the past four years there
has been a gradual decline. The most no.
table feature Of the year Was the decreasing
pressure in all of the natural gas fields of
the country. The life OF the wells also has
been greatly reduced.
