The director of the mint estimates
the worlds gold product for 1897 at
$40, 600, 900, an increase of about one
dollar in every five over the yield of
1896. The increase in the United
States has been from 500, 100, 900 in
1896 to SCI, 800, 900 in 1897. Other

Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy.
Strength of nerves, strength OF muscle,
strength of body, renewed power, ambi-
ton and endurance are its wondrous gifts
to nerve-weakened, rundown, debili-
tated, nervous, tired out and exhausted
people.
To the respondent and discouraged it is
the hope of renewed life, "a new world,
as it were, from which pain, suffering
and despair are banished; TO the weak,
tired and PROSTATE, it is tower of
strength; to the. nervous, sleepless, irri-
table, brain-weary and nerve-racked, it
gives natural, refreshing sleep and strong
and steady nerves; to the low-spirited
sufferers from nervous prostration and
female complaints it is the entrance upon
a new existence of robust happiness; in
deed, the sick and suffering will find in
DR.. Greene's Nervura veritahle fountain
of health.
DR.. Greene's Nervura is a physicians
prescription, the remedy of physicians
for the cure of the people. Use it if you
have need of health and strengthening
medicine, and consult DIR. Greene, if you
desire, which may be done without charge,
either personally at his office, "a Temple
Place, Boston, Mass, or by letter.
Above all do not be persuaded to accept
some substitute which the dealer claims is
''just as good" on which he makes little
more profit. There is no other remedy ir
the world of anything like the value,
power and efficacy of DR.. Greene's Ner-
vura in restoring health and strength.
Insist on having DR.. Greene's Nervura

Rev. T. Dewitt Talmage, undoubtedly
the greatest living divine, occupies in the
hearts and minds of the people position
of pre-erninent esteem and regard. No
other preacher is so widely known, no
other clergyman is SO distinguished
throughout the world. A great orator and
writer, his sermons have the widest dis
semination until there is scarcely family
where his name and works are not known.
When such a man, recognized leader
and teacher of the people, testifes by his
written testimonial that DR.. Greene's .Ner-
vura blood and nerve remedy has helped
him and that he recommends its use for
invigoration after over-work, to restore
the strength, energy, nerve force and
vitality of the system, when for any
reason they are lost, weakened or inn
paired, those who are sick and suffering,
who are weak, nervous, without strength,
energy and ambition, who are discouraged
and disheartened by repeated failures to be
cured, in fact all who have need of a
strengthening and health restoring med
icine, can take renewed hope from the
words of this great preacher, that DR..
Greene's Nervura is the one remedy
among all others to give them back the
health and strength they have lost.

SHOWS GREAT ADVANCEMENT.

r. G. Dun & Co.'s review of trade
says:
A new year opens with conditions
radically different from those which
prevailed year ago. Great financial
distrust existed then, but has passed
away. After whole year of entire
freedom from disturbance or alarm,
in which the country has paid heavy
foreign Indebtedness, taken and paid
many millions for stocks sent from
abroad and accustomed credits against
other countries represented by mer-
cbandise balances more than $780,
OOO. 600 in its favor for the past five
months, with deferred exchanges for
more than S2O,OOO,OOO held by New
York banks alone, while the great in
dustries have been pushing their way
into foreign markets with unprece-
denied success, the monetary situa-
ton is no longer matter of anxiety.
More than half a million men in few
States, according to official reports,
are employed now who were idle
year ago, and the general advance in
wages for those employed has gone
far,to restore the rates prevailing be-
fore the panic. The volume of bust
ness through clearing houses for the
week, 14.2 per cent larger than in
1892, has for the month been 0.3 per
cent larger than in that year and in
many industries and branches of bus
mess the later months of last year
have surpassed all records.
The iron industry has been greatly
encouraged by increased demand dur
ing the past few weeks, and while the
slight improvement in pig at Pitts
burgh has been maintained, notwith-
standing the greatest output ever
known, the new contracts for finish
ing products have been unusual for
the season.
The shipments Of boots and shoes in
December were 236 per cent larger
than in 1892, and for the entire year
have much surpassed those of any
other year in history Notwithstanding
the complaint that higher prices have
prevented purchases. The cotton in
dustry is halted by the question of
wages, although general reduction
now seems probable. The manufac-
turers have been buying largely Of
for worsted goods, and their
purchases have have stimulated buy
ing by wool manufacturers so that
the wool markets are stronger,

thing, to give a man opportunities
for command when he is at the prime

of other great concerns who wish TO
secure the best results. There is no
reason why it should not obtain under

ITINERANT VENDERS AND
PEDDLERS.

There is no good reason why Ver-
mont merchants and shop keepers
should pay taxes on real estate and
stocks of goods, while peddlers are
allowed to go up and down the State
selling staple goods as well as Yankee
products without any expense except
that of food and lodging; and yet this
is very generally the present con-
dition of affairs.
AS the law now stands those per-
sons known as itinerant vendors who
go from town to town, not selling
their wares from house to house, but
from quarters temporarily occupied,
are required to make a special de-
post with the State treasurer of $500,
to pay a license fee of $25 to the
State, and to be subject to such other
fees as towns, villages or cities may
demand; and in sixty days after clos
ing up their business and after show
ing that they have complied with the
law they are entitled to the return of
the $500, or SO much thereof, as may
be their due. The penalty for timer
ant sales of this character without a
license is imprisonment for not more
than sixty days or a fine of not more
than $50, or both.
If peddler travels from town to
town on foot selling goods, the IL
cense is SIS. If he travels by team or
rail, he must pay license fee of $50,
and if he carries and offers for sale
plated or gilded ware, jewelry, watch
es or patent medicine or a COM
pound medicine, the composition of
which is kept secret from the pub
lie, the license fee named in the
statute is $50.
We have thus briefly summarized
the principal provisions of the laws of
this State with reference to peddlers
and itinerant vendors, and while the
requirements are not excessive, it
can be seen that the license fees re-
CURED are sufficiently large to assure
local dealers ample protection and at
the same time to produce handsome
revenue for the State.
AS a matter of fact, however, the
State has realized practically nothing
from this source in the way of fees for
years. Itinerant vendors and ped
oilers have roamed over the State at
will, enjoying large sales and hand
some profits in many instances, at the
expense of local dealers who, in ad-
dition to the expense of maintaining
places of business must pay both local
and State taxes.
Be this as it may, simple justice re-
quires that itinerant vendors and
peddlers be required to bear their
small share of the expense of the
privileges which they enjoy-Free

THE DATE OF EASTER.
Why at Is Sometimes Early and AZ
Other Times Late,


The date of Easter is determined by
the ecclesiastical calendar of the Cath.
Ollie church. 1t is a very complicated
and laborious affair invented by ILLUS,
a Neapolitan astronomer and sage, un.
der Pope Gregory KILL, at the close
of the sixteenth century. 1t would be
preposterous to tax the brains of mod
ern readers with the abstruse c~alcula-
tons by which the date of Easter is
determined, but a few general rules
might be given for their enlightenment.
The regulations of the council OF
Nice are four: First, Easter must be
celebrated On q Sunday; second, this
Sunday must follow the fourteenth day
of the paschal moon; third, the paschal
moon is that moon whose fourteenth
day falls on or next follows the day
of the vernal equinox; fourth, the
equinox is fixed invariably in the cal
endar on the 21st day of March.
This calendar moon, it should be re-
membered, is not the moon of the heav-
ems nor yet the moon of the astron-
omers, but it is an imaginary moon
created for ecclesiastical convenience.
From these conditions it follows that
Easter Sunday cannot happen earlier
than the 22d of March or later than the
25th of April.-Detroit Free Press.

RUssIA'S NEW ATLANTIC PORT.
Ecatherinsk in Lnpland-Ice Free In
winter-Threatens England.

While the attention of Europe haA
been conferred mainly on the progress
of events in the far east, Russia has
been silently laying the foundation of
an ice-free naval base on her northwest
ern coast. This long-talked-of naval
station in the north of Russia is to be
connected with the railway system of
the empire by a railway running from
the harbor of Ecatherinsk to KIM, with
White sea, in Russian Lapland. This
new line will be $50 versts in length, and
will probably be connected with the
Finnish line at Joinsun, in the north OF
Finland, or with the St. Petersburg g.
P~etrazayodsk railway. Thus, in a few
years, Russia will possess a naval sta
ton in the far north which will be open
all the year round, and whence her men,
of-war will be able at pleasure to sally
out into the Atlantic. 1t certainly says
a great deal in favor of Russia's energy
and persistence in certain directions
that this scheme should now be on the
high road toward being fully and sue
cessfully carried out, although the idea
was mooted for the first time in the
Russian press, somewhere about three
years ago. We may now await an ex-
tension of the Russian flee<. In case of
need, Russia will be able to remove her
entire Baltic fleet to the Thurman coast
and defend the Baltic ports by means
of gunboats and torpedo boats.
A.. Tarrc4alf lo1e NOT Tnoaf tho q
~quirements of the Russian navy in the
Baltic, the port of Libau, on the Court
land province coast, is slowly but sure
ly being converted into a first-class
naval station at considerable expense.
Whether this work is intended to men,
ace Germany or Sweden is not yet quite
evident, but there can be no doubt that
the new port of Libau, when finished,
will be a great factor in the event of
hostilities on the Baltic. This port is
practically free from ice all the year,
and it bids fair to become a naval sta
ton of the very first Importance in the
western part of the Russian empire.
Millions of rubles have of late years
been expended on the port of Libau.
and it is now intended to rebuild two
moles, one of which is 1900 feet in
length. This work will be began this
year and will continue until 1904. Two
hundred thousand pounds, English,
have been assigned to defray the cost
of this work. A portion of this amount
is also to be spent in deepening the
channel of the harbor from 20 to 81
feet.-London Globe.
