EURoPE's NEED OF WHEAT.
The Times Says This is the Only Country
Able to Meet the Demand.

London, Aug. 12.-The Times, in the
course of its financial article to-day, says:
ut is estimated by persons in position
to form an opinion that AZ least 12 per
cent. more wheat than is usually needed
by Europe will be wanted this year.
lowing to the short Russian, French
and Austro. Hungarian crops, the United
States will be the only country able to
meet this extra demand.
1.-The present prospect is for an active
money market, with higher rates, but
those who anticipate very heavy gold
shipments to America must remember
that we shall not supply it all, and that
the United States are greatly in our debt
for commodities and securities sold to
them this year.

Beware
OF the knife.

MT. Lincoln Nelson, of Mansfield, Mo-,
writes: "For six years I have been a
sufferer from scrofu1ous affection of
the glands of my neck, and all efforts
OF physicians in Washington, D. c.,
Springfield, ILL.,, and ST. Louis failed to
reduce the enlargement. After six
months constant treatment here, my
physician urged me to submit to re.
moval of the gland. At this critical mo-
ment a friend recommended S.S.S.,
and laying aside deep-rooted preju-
dice against all patent medicines, be-
gan its use. Before had used one bot
tie the enlargement began to disappear,
and now it is entirely gone, though am
not through with my second bottle yet.
Had only used your SIS. long ago,
would have escaped years of misery
and saved over $ISo."
This experience is like that of all who
suffer with deep-seated blood troubles.
The doctors can do no good, and even
their resorts to the knife prove either
fruitless or fatal. SIS. is the only
real blood remedy; it gets at the root Of
the disease and forces it out perma-
nent1y.

1eaped to Death to Keep a Promise

Lizzie Love, a negro servant girl.
jumped from Jersey Central train at
Middletown, N. J.. Monday morning
while the train was going forty miles
an hour. Her skull was fractured, both
legs were broken, and she was injured
internally. She was picked up uncon-
scious and died soon afterward.
The girl boarded the train at Red
Bank. When the conductor took her
ticket she asked II the train stopped at
Middletown, to which place her ticket
entitled her to ride. The conductor ex-
planned that she had taken an express
train by mistake, and that no stop was
made before the train reached Mata-
wan.
On learning this the girl became ex-
cited. When the train was passing the
station at Middletown she ran out on
the platform and jumped She struck
on her side and rolled over and over
and then lay perfectly still.
The train was stopped and the crew
and some of the passengers ran bacl

THE OCEANIC TO De LONGER THAN THE GREAT EASTERN

Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse, the steam
ship the North German Lloyd people
are now building, will be 649. &C feet long
The Kaiser Friedrich, being built by the
same company, will have length of
600.62 feet. The st. Louis and St. Paul
of the American line, are each 554. .63 feet
long. The Hamburg American freight
er Pennsylvania, the biggest freight
carrying craft af1oat, which has just
gone into service, measures 5S5 feet ii
length. Thus the Oceanic, with her 705
feet over all, will easily be the largest
steamer ever constructed, and the larg-
est in all other respects, excepting the
Great Eastern.
The steamship company selected the
name Oceanic for this giant craft now
under way because it was the name Of
the first liner put into the New York
service, boat that for nearly q quarter
of a century steamed back and forth
across the Atlantic with hardly an ac-
cident. They propose to make the
Oceanic, they say, as good as their for
mer standby. She will carry. it is ex-
pected, about third more passengers
and a correspondingly greater amount
of freight than the largest steamship
now running in the transatlantic serv-
ice.

business one. participated in by the dele
gates from the United States and foreign
countries. On the evening Of June 1st a

| few brief and charming remarks by the
president the parliament adjourned. The
next session will be the annual one al
ways held in Los Angeles.
Most of the delegates took the after
noon train for their different homes,
though come remained over for another
evening in the charming town for beach
visits and drives around the city.
PARLIAMENT FEATURES
Some of the most delightful, features
of the parliament were the discussions
and most especially delightful was the
debate on books and reading for the
young people.
Mrs. Flora Haines Loughead told of
an experiment made in a wealthy San
Francisco church. where che was made
the instrument of sending books to OBJ
scure points and out of the way ranches
where people had no reading matter. The
books sent her, with the few exceptions
of some leading magazines, were such
that in a short time she withdrew from
the organizations. 1t seems when peo-
pie give away books they generally se-
lect the refuse of their libraries, not the
books they care for. and the books con-
sequently given are generally pernicious
and hurtful.
Art in the home brought out some de-
lightful ideas on home decoration AMI
home comforts. 1t was urged that the
home should be simple in its decoration
and artistic, and at the same time wholly
within the means of the home makers;
there must be conscience in expendi-
ture.
The hour given to the reports of the
delegates from the different societies
was also interesting There were thirty
three organizations represented, and the
work of the societies was fully present
ed. 1t was full of bright thought, and
when all given showed most progressive
work throughout the southern counties
of the state.

Regarding her fittings, representa-
tive of the White Star line, to which she
will belong, told me the other day that
in point of elegance they would far ex-
ceed anything af1oat. The arrangements
for the comfort of the passengers iE
rough weather will be such that it will
require very heavy sea indeed to make
one uncomfortable. 1t has been COM
mon source of complaint among trans
atlantic passengers that the furniture of
a steamship was built on the land prin-
ciple; that is, as if the traveller was new
er going to receive any shocks or be like
ly to be thrown about 1t is the inten-
tion to remedy this difficulty in fitting
up the Oceanic, so that there will be no
hard corners for passenger to be
thrown against, something that would
be greatly appreciated.
The largest vessels at present in serv.,
ice are the Cunarders Lucania and Cam
