It should be every ones care. Life is a
struggle for the prize Of success. The man
who wins must take care of his stomach. 1t
is not lack of energy or exercise that has
caused so many breakdown in the race.
1t is neglect of the stomach.
Incessant dull headache aggravated by
eating, aatulence, gnawing in the stomach,
heartburn, acid eructatiors, coated tongue,
bad taste in the mouth nervousness, mental
depression, sleeplessncsS; these are only
few of the symptoms of a weak stomach
and an enfeebled condition Of the digestive

any one of them means danger.

THE Americans are said to be hot
on the trail Of Agunaldo, being
only twenty miles behind him
and gaining at every lap. Aguinaldo's
bodyguard has been destroyed, and his
retinue is reduced to less than half
dozen men and women. Acuinaldo's
enemy seems to have him going all
right. His course must be almost run.
1t is not likely that he can elude his
pursuers more than few days longer.
He has led the Americans a long chase,
and in this the last furlong of the race
there is something pathetic as we'll as
ludicrous in Aguinaldos plight. He
is an ambitious young man, ambitious
for himself and ambitious for his con-
stituents. He fought an enemy su-
perior in numbers, in equipment, in
intelligence, In prestige. He did what
he could. He kept 70.o0o,OOO people
guessing, anyway. He kept them guess
ing almost as much as Mckinley. Pos
sibly he may escape yet. While there
are legs there's hope.

Lord Salisbury went back to his post at
the foreign office yesterday, and thus put
an end to all rumors of his intended res
ignation. His return is relief to all
England and England's friends abroad,
for the en1bittered comment OF the con-
tinental and even the American press
this week over Mr.. Chamberlain's Leices-
ter speech has shown the Englishman
what he would have to face were Lord
Salisbury's quiet restraining influence
permanently removed from Downing
street. That Is not. however, to say that
what the continental press says greatly
disturbs the Englishman just now; nor
even what the German press says. For
though the new understanding with Ger
many is accepted as politically expedient
1t would be exaggeration to call 1t in any
sense popular.
The comments of American journals
have been received in quite another spirit.
study of to-day's weekly reviews
proves this clearly. Thus, the Spectator,
laments the bad impression Mr.. Chamber
lain's speech has created In America and
says: 1.-THE enemies of expansion of
course, grasp at their opportunity The
administration Is frightened at the
charge of subservience to England AL
together, the effect on opinion across the
Atlantic has been almost disastrous. The

~ ENATOR ALLEN, who was ap-
~ pointed by the governor of Ne
~ braska yesterday t. fill the va
cancy caused by the death of Senator
Hayward, has been out of the senate
only few months, his term Of office
having expired March last. The ex-
cellent reputation he has made in the
upper branch OF congress is known
throughout the country. Senator AL
len is So years old, in the very prime
of life. An Ohioan by birth, he was
educated in Iowa and served in the
war as private in an Iowa regiment.
Returning to Iowa after the war, he
practced law in that state until 1884,
when he removed to Nebraska. He was
elected judge of a Nebraska district
court in 1891, and two years later was
elected United States senator.

Eft Tu, Methuen.

sHILE President Kruger is
w reading the SD Psalm, Mr..
Chamberlain might appropri-
ately devote few minutes of his time
to the third chapter of Job. Following
SO closely upon General Gatacre's dis
aster, General Methuens repulse makes
England feel like donning sackcloth
and ashes, gnashing her teeth, tearing
her hair and crying aloud in bitter
ness of spirit, Rachael is weeping for
her children and will not be comforted,
for they are not.
1t is bad enough to learn of a heavy
loss when the news is accompanied by
the announcement of a victory; but a,
long casualty list added to the story of
defeat bows down the heart of the
stoutest. Well said President Kru-
ger with prophetic glance that England
would find this the costliest war in her
history.
If it is true that Methuen still main
tains his position, the Boer victory was
not decisive one. Modder river Is
not Bulls Run. Still it was not a
negative victory, for the Beers are in
better shape to continue the fighting
and force conclusions than Methuen.
If they do not take the aggressive and
finish Methuen, it will be because they
see an advantage in waiting. The Beers
are crafty as well as brave. They are
making no mistakes.

Zinc Used In Cyaniding.

From the Mining and Engineering
journal.
The assertion has been made, and
widely published in the local papers IN
the Joplin district, that 20 per cent. of
all the zinc produced in the world each
year is consumed in the form OF zinc
shavings, used for the precipitation OF
gold from solution Of potassium cyan
ide in the gold mining districts of South
Africa. The writer does not believe
that any such large quantity OF zinc
which would be as much as the entire
United States produces each year-is
used in the cyanide process in South
Africa, or in the world, for the pur-
pose mentioned, and 2 per cent. of the
worlds output annually would easily
cover the amount used in Africa. VIII
you kindly correct, through the col
umns of the Engineering and Mining
Journal, the statement referred to and
give the amount SO used?-G. M. 8.
Answer-The statement you refer to
as to the quantity of zinc used in the
cyanide process is manifestly an alb
surd one, as a brief examination will
show. In 1888 the total tonnage of ore
crushed in the Transvaal by companies
reporting their results was 1881, ,44S
tons. Since the establishment Of shines
plants at a number of the mines on the
Witwatersrand, practically all Of the
tailings are treated. Making allowance
and for tailings treated by the Sic
mems -Halske process, the total tailings
cyanided We're about 100000 tons. 1t
is usually estimated that the consump-
ton of zine in precipitating gold from
the solution does not exceed at the out
side one pound per ton of ore or .ail-
ings cyanided. Allowing this extreme
limit, the total zine used in the Trans
vaal in 1898 did not exceed $500 short
tons; probably It was much lesg than
that Now as the production OF zinc
in the United States last year was
114,014 short tons, and the total pFoduc-
ton of the world was 46T,1 metric
tons, the quantity used in the Trans
vaal would be only 2.2 per cent. of the
United States production, or 0.75 per
cent. of the worlds production. Your
own estimate of 2 per cent. was very
much nearer the truth than the wild
guess referred to. but was still too
high.

When Washington Died.

r HE one hundredth anniversary
Of the death of George Wash
ington will be observed to-day
by the Masonic fraternity at the tomb
Of the dead in Mount Vernon. Wash
ington was the most illustrious Ameri-
can member of the craft. He was made
member at Fredericksburg, Va, No
vember 4, 1852. He at once took COM
mand of the Virginia troops in the war
with the French and Indians. His Ma
sonic duties were observed in the mill
tary lodges, one of which was estab-
lished in a cave near Charleston, Va,
where his headquarters were for two
years. In 1776 the American lodges de-
clared themselves no longer subordin-
ate to the grand lodges of England,
Scotland and Ireland, and Washington
was offered the grand mastership, az
the foremost American Although he
declined the honor, he was always re-
garded as such.
When Washington died memorial ger
vices were held in New York, Boston,
Albany, Newport and Baltimore Citi-
zens of New York wore crepe on their
arms for six weeks. Governor Morris
delivered the funeral eulogy. No carts,
carriages nor horseback riders We're al
lowed in the streets through which the
memorial procession passed. Alexander
Hamilton marched behind eight can
non captured from England by Wash
ington. John Jacob Astor was one of

What changes have been wrought
since December IA, $780, There were
then but four cities in the United
States having population of more
than 10000. None of them was as large
as Butte Is to-day. Philadelphia had
population of $4,000; New York, $4,000;
Boston. $4,000; Baltimore, 1900. The
entire population Of the country was
