first in the hearts of his countrymen. 1t
is great thiugto be first. Nothing is of
morevalue to mankind and brings great
er happiness than good remedy. Many
things will YekieVe but the one that will
cure is best. Brazilian Balm is such rem
edy. Tens of thousands have found that
it is the only thing that would cure Ca
tarrh and Asthma. For IS yrs. it has new
er failed in single case to cure Asthma,
and its record has been as wonderful in
Catarrh. Cases that had, to all appearan-
ces, run into Consumption, or where the
nostrilswere entirely stopped upor where
the poisonous pus had eaten holes into
the throat an inch deep, or where the
stomach had become liberated and raw
from swallowing the germ-laden matter,
were all permanently cured, Such a rec
ord, unknown TO any other remedy, just
ly entities the Brazilian Balm to the first
place in the regard of the American peo-
pie. There are 20, ,000, 900 Catarrh victims
and countless Asthma sufferers in this
country, all of whom can be cured with
Brazilian Balm. A Sl00 bottle of Brazil

BosToN's socKLEss MAYOR.
He Initiates Simpson and L. Firm
Believer in the Faith Cure.

New York World: Boston, Mass
The mayor of this city is sick, SO sick
i'm fact that his friends are greatly
alarmed, but he turns deaf ear to
all their entreaties to call Il physician,
and trusts to his faith as a Christian
scientist to pull him through. The
mayor has not been to the city hall for
nearly II week.
1t was known that Mayor Quincy
counted several Christian scientists
among his closest circle of friends, but
few if any knew that he himself was a
convert to the faith. He has been run
ming down for some time. A cold drew
heavily upon his vitality, and what is
pronounced to be nervous prostration
is the result. 1T is related that one of
the peculiarities of the mayor is that
he wears no socks, even in the coolest
of weather. His friends attribute the
cold which finally obliged him to give
up to improper protection in this re-
; spect on one of the rainy days last
week AT legislative hearing at the
state house on one of the coolest DAYS
this winter a friend of the mayor no.
ticed that he was soclsless and rcmon-
stratcd with him against such fragrant
| abuse of his health, but the mayor
treated the matter lightly.

Bicycles were invented centuries ago,
but it required the magic touch of the
nineteenth century inventor to make the
wheel" most useful vehicle, Instead Of
q mere toy.
Ball bearings did 1t. 1t was case
where the improvement has proved great
er than the original invention. The prin-
ciplc that reduces friction to minimum
in bicycle is applicable to all machin-
cry, and the cost is the only obstacle in
the way Of what will be known in history
as the Light Draft Era" in mechanics.
Millions OF dollars have been spent in this
direction. The Deering Harvester Com
pany, of Chicago, solved the problem, as
far as grain binders and mowers are con-
cerned, by equipping their machines with
roller and ball bearings in 1891.
Other manufacturers in this line have
since followed with several kinds of ex-
detrimental roller bearings, but the Deer
ing machines are still alone in the field
with ball bearings of the bicycle pattern.
The Deering Company's annual cata-
logue for 1899 contains some very inter-
estinR historical matter on this subject,
fully illustrated The book also describes
the largest factory in America and gives
the latest news on the subject of harvest

ITO WORK TOGETHER
FOR ARBITRATION
Similar instructions Given British
and American Delegates to
The Hague.
NOT ovER.sANGulNE, HOWEVER
Content to Plant the Seed and
Look to the Future for the
Fruit Details Not
Given Out.
NOT ovER.sANeulNE, HOWEVER

Washington, May 11.-The United
States and Great Britain will stand to-
gether in advocacy of the adoption of a
scheme for the settlement of interna-
tional disputes by arbitration, which
will be presented to the disarmament
conference ut The Hague. The Amer
lean delegates are equipped with a
fairly we'll digested plan for the eNecu-
ton of this long cherished project,
while the British delegates are pre-
pared with a plan almost identical
with the American project.
The details cannot be procured for
publication in advance of the presen-
tation of the projects to the confer
ence. 1t is known, however, that there
are essential differences between this
last plan and that embodied in the
treaty drafted by Secretary Olney and
Sir Julian Pauncefote, which failed of
action in the senate when submitted
for ratification. The differences are
rather in the methods provided for Sc
curing an impartial adjudication than
an the principles of the former con-
vention and it is believed that ON these
points the British and American posi-
tions are not precisely similar
| 1t cannot be said that the American
delegates go to the conference with
any strong expectations that their
own scheme for securing the ADJUST
ment of disputes by arbitration, or IN
deed any project of the kind, Will Sc
| cure the adhesion of the entire confer
ence or even majority of the dele
gates. But they are content to plant
the seed and make beginning which,
it is hoped by the president and Sec
| retary Hay. will. in the end, have sub
stantial results.
The American delegates have been
| committed to this arbitration project
much more strongly than to anything
likely to figure before the conference.
Regarding disarmament, their instruc-
tions are to tell the conference that
the present armament of the United
| States, and any within the POSSIBLE
ties of the future, are so far below the
present minimum ornaments with
which any of the great powers of
Europe are likely to be content that
there is really no reason why the
United States should be called into
the agreement.
Other points on which the delegates
| have been instructed are the eNemp-
ton from seizure of individual prop
erty; the extension of the Red Cross
rules to warlille operations at sea, and
the amelioration of the horror of war.
1t was because of the presidents inter-
est in this latter subject as much as for
any other reason that the two techni-
cal experts, Captain Mahan and Cap
tain Crosier, were included in the
American delegation. and the state de-
partment hopes that something in this
direction will be accomplished at tho
| nDprOachinp conferences

LOST NOTES.
Paper Money That Disappears a
Source of Revenue.


London News; 1t is fact, that to
many minds, no doubt, must be curious,
that the Bank of England has always had
a pretty steady source of profit in the loss
and destruction of its bank notes. What
we are unable to say, but during period
of forty years preceding 1882 the bank
had made clear profit of a1,S3O, 600 from
outstanding paper never likely to be pre-
sented for payment. When the destruc-
ton or the irrecoverable loss of a note
can be proved, as in the event of fire
or a wreck it can. the bank, of course.
will always pay the money it represents;
and even when there is doubt about it
the cash is paid on security being given
for indemnifying the bank should the
note ever be presented. The 100000 worth
of paper-or G2000 as it appears to have
been reduced to-taken from PARIS bank
will, therefore, not represent a loss unless
the crisp little bllcts have some day to
be duly honored at the Bank of England
counter. In that case the cash paid in
of the Golfers of the piundered bank.
Many years ago a bank director lost
note. for 100000. But. being man of
credit. and as there was no doubt about
IDENTITY and got the money. Many years
after. when the man had long been dead,
the paper was presented. 1t was paya-
BILE on demand, and had come from
abroad in the ordinary way of business,
and the sum it represented had to be
handed over and as the indemnity that
had been given was repudiated by the
heirs of the man who had given 1t, and
for some reason could not be enforced,
the bank on that occasion had to put
100000 on the debit side of the account.
For once in a way they paid double honor
to q bit of their own paper.
There of n oP
10000 which the bank in Its early days
for a short time refused to hand over in
exchange for its own notes. They were
presented by Jew, whose assertion that
he had bought them was not disputed and
whose personal integrity was above sus-
picion. They had, however undoubtedly
been stolen. and, on that ground the bank
out into the city and began to spread it
abroad that the bank was shaky and
couldn't cash his notes, and as he backed
his assertion by displaying his indsputa
BILE paper, the assertion would in all
probability soon have caused run on
the bank. In a few minutes messenger
came to say that the notes would be
cashed if he would present them again.
