"A puny child is always an anxiety
to the parents. There seems generally
no reason why the little one should be
weak when it is so we'll fed. But the
fact is that it does not matter how
much food the child takes if the sto1n.
ach cannot extract the nourishment
from it. No benefit can be derived
from just eating. That is the condl-
ton of many a sickly child The stom-
ach and organs Of digestion and nutri
ton are not doing their work, and
the body is really starving. 1t is little
use to give fish foods, like cod liver
oil or emulsions, in such a case, be-
cause these also have to be digested:
they may lessen the stomach's labor
but they don't strengthen it, Strength
is what the stomach needs. DR..

strengthens the stomach nourishes
the nerves and increase the action of

superior to every other preparation
for children'S use, on account of it's
body building qualities, and also be-
cause it is pleasant to the taste and
contains no alcohol, whiskey or other
intoxicant. DR.. Pierce's Pleasant

Reclaiming the Marsh Land.


Times Union and Citizen, stated that
the best land in Europe was the re-
claimed land, and when I so wrote

beg in the same way, to speak of
Florida's reclaimed land, situated in
Lake county, The first is at Sunny
Side Mr. Albright got his neighbors
to join him in digging ditch through
marsh into Lake Harris. and after
this was done have seen growing the
finest crops of onions, cabbage-in
short, all kinds of vegetables ever
saw growing in any part of the
world.
The next place is West Apopka
where to-day a company is paying
$40 per acre for the reclaimed land
Ten dollars an acre rent means that
the land is worth at least 500 an acre.
A few years ago 1 visited rich IrisL
gentleman on Lake Griffith. who had
at the time of my visit between three
and four acres of onions that looked
as fine as any one could wish.
Just before the onions were ready to
ship the lake rose, and the onions
were covered with a foot Of water,
and my itch Irish frieLC left for ire
land, disguised.
Two years ago l visited Captain
Pages truck farm on Bird Island, on
the same Lake Griffin. On this island
l saw, without exception, the finest
crops of all kinds of vegetables that I
ever saw, and corn, not as we gener
ally see it in Florida, four feet apart
each way-here the rows were four
feet apart, but the hills we're only
about two feet and two and tare1
stalks in a hill. A better crop was
never grown in any Of the Western
States. Sugar cane was grown on this
island twelve feet high, and the cane
tain Pagett tells me that at present
and for some time there has been
foot of water all over the island
Some think this matter of cutting
canal through from Silver Springs to
Lake Griffin and so on to the Withla-
coochee should be left to private en-
terprise. I say that we have been
waiting for private enterprise long
enough, and that the time has come
for us who spend our time in Florida
to wake up and instruct our repre-
sentatives in the Legislature to ap-
propriate a sum sufficient to pur-
chase a Bates dredge and to keep it
at work cutting canals through the
marsh land. Bird Island is not the
only rich spot that is periodically COW
cred with water. I feel certain that
fifty years hence these marsh lands
will all be growing fine crops of cane,
rice, corn and all kinds of vegetables,
and that on the pine hills those who
live will see Durham and Hereford
cattle that can be made to weigh, at
three years old, from 1000 to 5000

, New York, January 7.--Stocks resum-
ed the upward movement to-day and
in some cases advanced violently. Ell
forts to bring about reaction were
successful only in the initial trading.
There were moderate arhitrage sales for
London account which aided the reac-
tionists' early efforts. The Changers
and Pacifics were Off fractionally, while
the so-called Flower specialties, Brook

Gas were very sharply off. The execu-
ton of an order to sell l. large block
of stock at the market caused n bad
break in Tobacco. This brought out
further sales by reaching stop loss or
ders. Floor brokers in many cases adj
vised their houses that, the movement
in the general market was too violent
to last and presently buying orders pre-
dominated over those to sell. These
purchases were largely increased on the

THE NEXT CENSUS.
Some of the Great Figures 1t May Be
Expected TO Show.
(Boston Evening Transcript


(Boston Evening Transcript
The twelfth annual census of the Uni
ted States will occur in 1900, and while,
no doubt the statistics gathered will
show Il continued healthy growth. it Is
the opinion of experts that those who
look for sensations in the growth of
States and cities in all quarters of the
country (and who have seldom been
disappointed since the census of 1880.
when the settlement OF the West was
under full sway may find the growth
i'm the ten years ending in 1900 not COM
mcnsurate with that OF former decades.
In the decade of the rebellion there
was the first and only decrease in our
Increases since the first census was
taken. This was caused in part by
the increased mortality because of the
war, but was probably more largely
due to IA falling off in immigration. 1t
is expected that there will be another
failing off in the amount Of the in
crcases in 1900, though the natural mo-
mcntum of the century'S growth may
give us an increase equal to that Oh
1890.

The Cotton Markets.

New York, January 1.-THE cotton
market opened steady. with prices /
to points higher. this being an in
different response to firm Liverpool ca
bles. bullish weather reports from
pretty much the entire cotton belt ana
n small movement at the ports and
interior towns. Profit taking by less
confident longs selling pressure from
the stronger bears and liquidation OF
weak Southern holdings were largely
responsible for the failure of the early
market to advance as had been ex-
pected. Subsequent developments how
ever. were decidedly better prices NOV
ing up several points OF foreign sup
port and the appearance of investment
orders, the latter being chiefly from
Wall street houses. For n Saturday
half-holiday speculation was active and
quite general.

In 1890, when the first census was
taken, there were only seventeen States
in the Union, severally populated as
follows: Virginia. 747.6l0; Pennsylva-
mia, 3i3,373; North Carolina, sos. Isl;
Massa chusetts. 31S.7SI; New York,
3io.l2O; Maryland, 3l9,72S; South Caro-

S9,5iS; kentucky, 1851; Rhode Island
6S. S25; Delaware. 59,096; Tennessee, IS, l
G9l.
In 1850 the percentage of people liv-
ing in America cities of 5000 popula-
ton and upward was 22.5I of the whole.
II little over one-flfth. The census of
1880 increased this percentage of urban
popula ton to 1920, nearly one-third of
the whole More than one-half the
total increase in population between
1850 and 1850. viz: IL, 466, 467. was in the
cities. This urban increase was pre-
csely 1866. S3S. In 1850 there were 2S6
cities in the United States containing
5000 people and upward and their
aggregate population VAS 1i,3lS.541. In
1880 the number of these cities had in
creased to AS. having an aggregate
population of lS,2S4.3s5 out of a total Of
g. S22, $50. The proportion of urban
population to the whole in all the South
crn States is very small compared to
the North and West, being less than
Is per cent. The growth of Southern
cities during the last decade was sub
siantial. but not so marked as in other
sections.
1t is hard to convince the American
that his country is not ahead of all the
world in everything. says Leslie j.
Perry. in the New York Sun, especially
in the expansion of its cities and towns.
1t Will be remembered that the Ger
man census of 1890 disclosed some SEN
sational features in respect to the
growth of German cities. In the five
years between 1885 and 1890 the CAPT
tai Of the German Empire Berlin. had
increased in round numbers go 900, to
i.3ii4Sj showing it to be somewhat
larger than New York at that date.
The great seaport. Hamburg, had
jumped from 1000 to $4,000. clean
gain of 305.000 in five years. Leipsic
gained $4,000: Munich. $1,000 Breslau,
$1,000: Cologne. 121 900; Magdebury, &c.
OOO and others in like ratio. The period
between the two German enumerations
quoted is only five years. whereas the
American census period Is ten years.
and hence the gains set out arc sur
prising. because multiplied by two they
equal our most astonishing urban
growth. The English census returns
for 1880 show only moderate increases,
the greatest. in ten years. OF course,
being that OF London. 396.5I2 Liver
pool actually decreased a. 600 both
the Greater New York and Chicago are
growing more rapidly than the metro
polls Of the world.
