EUROPEAN AND AMERICAN KINGS.

EUROPEAN AND AMERICAN KINGS.
There are kings in the United States as
well as in Europe. And 1t is interesting
to reflect that while we can get along
without Europes kings, Europe cannot
get along without ours. She must have
them, or go hungry and ill-clad. For our
kings are Wheat, Cotton and Corn, and
their sway is supreme. The latter men
toned of the three Corn, has not so much
of a hold upon Europe as the other two,
but the indications are that his hold will
be greatly strengthened as one result of
the great Paris exposition.
1t is proposed that one of the features
of the American exhibit at the Paris ex-
position shall be a corn (or maize) palace,
in which will pc displayed every useful
article manufactured from corn-meal.
flour, hominy, starch, sugar. syrups, cara
mels, candies. oils. soap, and a substitute
for gutta percha, whisky, cornpith celu-
loise and smokeless gunpowder% And not
only this, but the numerous table staples
and delicacies made from corn are to be
cooked and served in the building, and
for preparation are to be distributed free.
1t is believed. and with good reason, that
the demand for corn as a breadstuff In
Europe, will be greatly stimulated As
matter of fact, our corn trade with Eu-
rope is now far from small. During the
seven months, ending with January of the
current fiscal year we shipped to Europe
corn to the value of nearly S3S, 900. 900
a little less than half of the value of the
wheat shipments for the same period. OF
all breadstuffs during those seven months
we sent 10 feed the kings and subjects of
Europe nearly $175,OO0,OOO worth, at the
same time furnishing them with SIS. 900
900 worth of raw cotton from which to
spin clothes for themselves.
These figures indicate how indispensi-
BILE our American kings, Wheat. Cotton
and Corn. are to our friends across the
sea. And it should be remarked that dur
ing the year last past our American kings
placed their territory at the head of the
class OF commercial nations of the world.
During the calendar year 1898 the domes-
tic exports from the United States amount
ed 20 81, ,23S, 56i SOS, while those OF the Unit
ed Kingdom amounted to $l,l31, ,9i4. .Ss1

A Clock Kept Going with Hot Water.

One of the most curious clocks in
the world is that which Amos Lane of
Amidee. New, constructed some time
ago. The machinery, which is moth
ing but face, hands and lever, is con-
nected with a geyser. which shoots out
an immense column of hot water every
thirty-eight seconds. This spouting
never varies to the tenth of second,
and, therefore, clock properly at
tached to it cannot fail to keep cor
rect time. Every time the water
spouts up it strikes the lever and
moves the hands forward thirty-eight
seconds.

Thousands of cases of chronic ca

during the past winter. In spite of
changeable weather, in spite of the ma,
tural set-backs from catching cold, and
confinement to illy-ventilated rooms,
the great catarrh remedy-Pe-ru-na-
has effected these cures. But now
spring is here. The days are longer,
the sun is warmer, and the blizzard is
gone for another year. This presents
a much more favorable opportunity for
the permanent cure Of chronic catarrh
especially old, stubborn cases. Now
is the time to begin treatment. Other
things being equal, one months treat
ment in the spring is worth two

The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
has introduced a new feature in its
sleeping car service arranging to at
tach an ordinary sleeper in addition
to the regular first-class sleeper now in
service on through trains. Commenc-
ing with February 13 one of these cars
will be attached to train No. 6 leaving
Chicago $3.50 p. m. and arriving in
Pittsburg next morning at GAS, and
returning leave Pittsburg on No. 5 at
1920 p. m. and arriving in Chicago
next morning at 10 a. m. Also on
train No. z leaving Baltimore at Z p.
m. and arriving in Newark at 1922 a.
m. next day. Returning on train No.
leaving Newark at $50 p. m. and
arriving at Baltimore at 1921 SO p m.
next day. The innovation will be that
in these ordinary sleepers Pullman
rates are reduced one-half, SO that
passengers have the choice of paying
the highest price Pullman rate or take
advantage of the cheaper rate offered
in ordinary cars. The Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad is the first line to intro
duce this service and its popularity
has been predicted.
