Apple Crop a Widespread Failure.

CHICAGO, Oct. A.-The Orange Judd
Farmer will say tomorrow: The apple
crop of the United States is smaller than
1t has ever been before since reliable sta
tictics have been collected. The total sup
ply from the 1898 crop of the United States
is N,7oOOOO barrels, as compared with
100000 in the record-breaking crop of 1897
The failure is widespread, reaching from
the Pacific Coast to Maine, and in no one
of the apple States does the output of
fruit approach an average.

geStiOn and q dtSOrdeTed liver
mean that a man is fighting the first round
with death. Unless he manages to strike
the knockout blow, it means that death
will come up in the second round in the
guise of some serious n1a1ady. When a
mans stomach is weak and his digestion
Is impaired the iife-giving elements of the
food he takes are not assirnilated into the
blood. The blood gets thin and weak, and
the disordered liver and the sluggish bow
Of impurities. The body is hungry and
eagerly consumes anything that the blood
stream carries to It. In place of healthy
nutrirnent, it receives for food foul poisons
that should have been excreted by the
bowels. Continued this system of staTva-
ton combined with poisoning, will wreck
every organ in the body. Naturally, the
weakest organ will give way first. If a
man is naturally nervous, he will break
down with nervous exhaustion or prostra-
ton. If he inherits weak lungs, the con-
sequence will be consumption, bronchitis,
asthma, or some disease of the air-passages
If he has naturally sluggish liver, he will
suffer from a serious bilious or malarial at
tack. DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry cures all disorders of the stomach, di-
gestion and liver II purifes the blood and
fills it with the life giving elements of the
food that build new and healthy tissue. It

The Card Table.

In preaching at tho opening of a now
baptistry at tho church OF the Holy
Name at Manchester. Father Bernard
Vaughan used a striking Illustration
from tho card table.
Life" said he, is not unlike a game
OF whist. Some are playing for riches. -
continued the preacher. "and for these
diamonds arc trumps. Some are playing
for lovc-for these hearts arc trumps
Some are playing for power and do
minion-for these clubs are trumps.
But there is fourth hand, and this Is
the most important in the game. This
hand is taken by tho Angel of Death,
and for him spades are trumps. Shall
you," asked the preacher. "bc able to say

greeted my first appearance. Every
speech was received with torrent Of ap-
plause, and, being at that time young
man, / certainly felt myself a person Of
considerable prominence before | got

And this wns perfectly natural.
Nevertheless the actor was destined to
DO enlightened and to learn that mt least
some of his selfconlpIaisancc had Il
fictitious basis.
1Io enjoyed his triumph SO much that
he conllded in the property man Of the

least Of their number would be sure to
tell what was occurring, not as mat

because She couldn't help telling any,
thing and everything that she saw and

she was, and he quickly conjectured
that one or more of these visitors had

he had been, and after his hnplcss fail
