Interesting Statement by . Young Lady
In Brooklyn.
In the vast retail establishments OF
large cities, many women are EN-.
ployed as saleswomen.
Men formerly held the positions that

diseases"
Then occur irregularities, suppressed
or painful menstruation, weakness,
indigestion, leucorrh9a, general de-
bility and nervous prostration.
They are beset with such symptoms
as dizziness, faintness, lassitude, ex-
liability, irritability, nervousness,
sleeplessness, melancholy, "all-gone
and want to-be-left-alone feelings,
blues and hopelessness.
In such cases there is one tried and
true remedy. Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound at once removes
such troubles. The following is .

Rig Cotton Crop Promised.

H. M. Neil, the well known cotton
statistician, has issued circular on the
growing crop After referring to the
correctness of his estimate made III
July, 1894, of the crop of the season.
Mr. Neil says:
"At this moment for this year In
every state but Texas, and on the pres
ent acreage, even allowing that Texas
should fall short of her maximum pro-
duction per acre by 1000. 900, the out
look now is for crop of at least 3, 70O,-
600 bales, with 500, 900 TO 1000, 900
more within the range Of possibilities.
This figure Of $3.50, 900 is really very
conservative, for a product per acre out.
side of Texas equal TO lS94-5 would
give 1850, 900 bales, and maximum
for Texas would be 3, $50, 600 bales,
from which, allowing 1000, 600 OH,
YOU would have crop OF O,3OO, ooe
bales.
1.-The crop is now so far advanced
from recent rains and heat that 1t VIII
reach maturity aud be independent OF
frost at an unusually early date, ana
should we soon have good rains IN Texas
her crop also would be near perfection,
and the possibilities for total crop would
| then be something enormous.

spon army matters the belief prevails
chat its officers have not equal opportu-
mites with other citizens TO secure APP
pointments for their sons to the two
national academies at West Point and
Annapolis because of their divorce
ment from political affairs. This was
true some years ago and was given
recognition by the president in select
ing candidates :" at large for appoint
ment to the national academies. 1t is
no longer true, however, although The
president adheres to the rule Of select
ing for appointment lat large" only
sons of officers OF the army and navy.
There are no more active and persistent
lobbyists and workers for appointments
and promotion than military and naval
officers, and so far as the Military
academy is concerned, the records show
that in proportion to their numbers
army officers are more largely repre-.
sented at that institution than any other
class of citizens. There are numerous
instances where army officers have had
two sons educated at the Military acad-
envy, appointed FROM different districts,
regardless of the fact that the law i'm
peratively requires that the candidate
shall be bona fide resident of the dis
trict from which appointed, and it is
quite common for army and navy Off
GERS to have a son at each of the acad =
| emies at the same time. Not long since
two boys, sons of army officers, were
at the Military academy from Philadel-
phia districts, neither of whom was
legally entitled to appointment, and
one of whom never had his foot i'll the
J district to which he was credited, and
TO which his father was as great
stranger. Such cases are by no means
uncommon Philadelphia Ledger.

Conditions Favoring Consumption.

In its annual report the state board
of health Of Massachusetts cites as one
of the chief conditions favorable to the
production of consumption the continu-
Gus and habitual breathing of unre-
newed air. Consequently in workshops,
factories, schoolroOms, public buildings,
halls. churches and the inhabited apart
ments of dwellings and tenement houses
the absence of adequate means OF ven
tilation favors the spread of consnmp-
ton. Another fact leading in this dl-
rection is dampness of soil on which
the house stands and dampness of the
immediate neighborhood, and the oc-
cupancy as living or sleeping apart
ments of rooms which are constantly
damp or are wholly or partly under
ground undoubtedly has similar effect.
| Overcrowding in dwellings. i'll factories
and in workshops, where men ana
women work for several hours each day,
tends to spread the disease, as also

| the deaths from this cause in densely
| settled districts, as compared with
those in sparsely settled districts, OF the

is another important factor in the case,
and an interesting point here is that
the reports of the registrar general III
England for successive years show thal

paratively exempt from consumption. -
