Big Figures of Prosperity.

The manner in which the restored
prosperity of Mckinley and Protec-
ton" has touched the finances Of the
American people is indicated by re-
port just issued by Comptroller Of the
Currency Dawes. In collecting the
data entering into his report nearly
ten thousand reports from banks
have been examined and compiled
The results Of the investigation indi-
cate a magnitude of banking resources
and a rate of growth in number of de-
post accounts which is unparalleled in
TIE financial history of the world 1t
Is shown that in the past ten years de-
post accounts have increased in num-
ber from 6,708,971 in 1889 to 13,153,-
874 in 1899; that the increase in the
number of borrowers is much less than
the increase in the number of deposit
ors; that the average deposit of the
individual or corporation has greatly
increased; that the rate of interest on
loans has decreased; that the aggre-
gate OF individual deposits has in
creased from $S,77641O, ,4O2 in 1889 to
$7,51S, 1854 1861 in 1899; and that in ten
years the aggregate of loans has in
creased from $S,475, ,272, ,262 to $5,751,-
$3.50.
These are big figures, but it takes
big figures to express the kind of pros
perlty now being enjoyed by the peo-
pie OF the United States.

The Buyers Complaint.

Yesterday The price of crude oil went
up to $1.61. This IS the highest figure
that has been paid since the spring of
1878 except for a brief furry in 1895.
While the high price is satisfactory to
the producer, there is another man
who begins now to be heard. He is the
buyer, the man who furnishes the
money to pay for the crude. The mar
ket quotations on refined oil yesterday
were from 9% cents gallon for no
degree test to 10% cents for water
white. All through 1898 and 1894 re-
fined oil in barrels in New York aver
aged less than 81 cents a gallon.
Therefore the advance to nearly dou-
BILE that figure is decidedly apparent
to the householder who must have his
gallon can filled frequently, as the long
winter evenings require light. The
buyer kicks about the rise in price.
The producer hopes to see the crude
market go higher. Crude is three
times as high now as at the close of
1892, when it was but a fraction of a
cent above so cents a barrel, but the
price of refined oil has only doubled.
Clearly the producer is gaining at a
faster rate than the buyer of crude is
suffering, for at the same proportions
of increase the price Of refined would
be getting toward Is cents. That it
does not is explained by the fact that
while it costs more now to buy the
crude than seven years ago, it does not
cost much more to refine it.
But the advantage is still wirA the
man who buys refined now as against
its purchase IN 1878. when the price
OF crude was what it is now. Then
refined in barrels sold for II cents, the
market gradually declining as the
price of crude declined Perhaps this
is made possible by the greater use of
the cheaper Lima oil Evidently the
consumer is not getting the worst Of It
as compared with prices in the past.
But it is questionable whether he will
look with favor on many more ad-
vances in the refined market no mat
ter what the producer thinks OF the
rise in crude.-Plttsburg Times.

Most Necessary to Health.

Recent writers in medical journals
have called attention to the fact that
while we are wisely careful to brush
the teeth and keep the mouth and all
other cavities of the body scrupulously
clean, the nasal cavity, though most
exposed of any, has been almost Who'll
ly neglected,
A physician, writing to the Boston
Transcript, says it has been clearly
shown that not only is it the receipt
acle of the floating animal and veget-
able dust and germs, but the free,
well-warmed and most convenient
Matching place for all sorts of disease
producing bacteria. That the close
relation of the brain to the nasal cav
ity-only separated by thin shelving
of bone-makes it especially danger
GUS when suffered to become diseased
and the home of bacilli, microbes and
germs. 1t is the close connection be-
tween the brain and nasal cavity that
dulls the mental perception during the
infammatory stage of a severe cold
and when there is a closure of one or
both nostrils, more especially in youth
than in adults, though the best mental
effort is never obtainaDle under such
conditions. Mr. Beecher once said
that after the most careful and
searching investiga .-on it had finally
been decided that the nose was a
Dreaming and not a speaking organ"
Let us hope that the next generation
will discover that the way to clean or
treatdisease of the nasal cavity is
from behind or through the posterior
mares, else the wise Creator would
have placed the nose under side up,
while we should have thought our
selves just as beautiful. Only those
who have experienced it can appre-
ciate the sense of neatness, cleanliness
and comfort that comes from cleaning
the nasal cavity from behind, when
they have been inhaling dust or i'm
pure air
With modern, improved methods, it
is easily accomplished, prevents di-
sease, often restores the hearing and
sense OF smell, insures a sweet breath
and by keeping the membrane clean
affords nature the most favorable con-
dition for restoration. Irritants of all
sorts should be avoided, as they cause
an unnatural condition of the mem
brane and nerves.
