pie Are Extravsgant.

At one time no doubt Spain was the
richest country In Europe. Within q
few years after the conquest of Amer.
lea more than a billion Of dollars was
carried back to Spain, and as long as
colonies have been maintained in this
2 hemisphere there has been a stream of
gold flowing that way into both pub
lie and private Golfers. Under the orig
inal colonial laws the king got one
fifth and the church one-fifth Of every
thing that came from America, but the
three-fifths that remained were sutfi-
cient to make some of the largest for
tunes In the world Evidences of this
great wealth are still found in every
part of Spain, in the enormous and
costly castles, in the palaces of Seville,
Granada, Valencia. Barcelona, Madrid,
Salamanca, Cadiz and other cities. But
the money has been wasted in luxury,
gambling. bad investments and In try
ing to compete with modern progress
in agriculture and other industries by
the use of antiquated methods and
machinery
Spain resembles Ireland in many re-
spects and Russia in more. The terri
tory Is divided into vast estates. which
are cultivated to Il certain measure by
the owners, and the remainder leased
to tenants. There are also large
ranches and factories of various kinds
which formerly belonged to private in
dividuals. members of the nobility and
aristOcracy, but the soil has been worn
out by centuries of cultivation and is
no longer profitable without the use of
expensive manures and modern ma
chinery. The herds of cattle have be-
come depleted both in numbers and in
breed, although in some parts of Spain
you can still find the best cattle and
horses in Europe and the best mules
in the world. The factories have gen,
orally passed from the hands of indi-
viduals who inherited them into the
control Of corporations, the buildings
on the estates are badly ont of repair
the castles are in ruins and tenements
are worse than those of Russia or Ire
land.
The wealth of the people has been
sapped by taxation and their own ex-
travagance, and the money Of the
many has been absorbed by few cap
italists who are enormously wealthy
and hold mortgages upon the estates
Of their less prudent neighbors. Brib-
cry and corruption in public life is the
rule, rather than the exception, and
when fayorite of the prime minister
is sent out to fill an official position in
one of the colonies it is expected that
he will come back rich. Money that
comes easily goes easily in Spain, rs
well as everywhere else, and these for
tunes acquired by blackmail or official
speculation have rapidly been wasted
in high living. gambling and specula-
tion.

AIDED BY MRS. PINKHAM.

Mrs. w. E. PAXTON, youngstown,
North Dakota, writes about her strug-
gle to regain health after the birth of
her little girl:
"DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM:-It is with
pleasure that l add my testimony to
your list, hoping that it may induce
others to avail themselves of your val
liable medicine.
After the birth of my little girl,
three years ago, my health was very
poor. had leucorrhea badly, and a
terrible bearing-down, pain which
gradually grew worse, until could do
no work. Also had headache nearly
all the time, and dizzy feelings. Men
situations were very profuse, appear
ing every two weeks.
"1took medicine from good doctor,
but it seemed to do no good. l was
becoming alarmed over my condition,
when read your advertisement in
paper. I sent at once for a bottle of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
ponnd, and after taking two-thirds of
the bottle / felt 20 much better that 1
send for two more. After using three
bottles l felt a. strong and well as any
one.
II think It Il the best medicine for
female weakness ever advertised, and
recommend it to every lady meet suf-
fering from this trouble"
! Maternity Il = wonderful experience
and many women approach it wholly
nnprePared. Childbirth under right
-conditiona need not terrify women.
The advice Of Mrs Pinkham is freely
offered to all expectsnt mothers, and
her advice is beyond question the most
valuable te be obtained. II Mrs. Pax
ton had written to Mrs- Pinkham be-
fore confinement she would have been
saved much suffering. Mrs Pinkham's

charmingly two numbers in both humor-
Gus and pathetic character. She display
ed great versatility Of talent, and com
pletely captivated her audience. Miss

reasons for his position. The second

TO former acquisitions OF territory by this
country and their great value 70 the
