Professor Voorhees, OF the New Jersey

is . need for some method OF irrigation 10
the eastern states as we'll &c 10 those west
OF the Mississippi valley. He estimate
that the loss OF hay 10 New Jersey by req
son Of the drought Of May and June,
1899. amounted TO not less than 81, 500,
600. while that on small fruits and vegeta
bles was larger. He gives these figures
from the experiment farm. In 1897 and
1898. both wet seasons. the hey crop aver
aged t~o tons-l 900 pounds per acre.

This was . loss OF over $500 on 25 acres,

Constipation OF the bowels, usually
considered simple complaint, Is the
more dangerous because it is deemed
trivial. Trifles neglected become the
most serious Of ailments. "a dose Of

But the dose never cures. 1t relieves
for the time, but aggravates the COM
plant for the future, and next time q
bigger dose Is needed The bowels,

Facts About Sardines.

Formerly the sardines consumed in
this country were all imported from
France now about three quarters of
the sardines eaten in the United
States are put up mere, the sardine
industry in the United States being
the Eastern coast of Maine, though
some sardines are now pu. up on the
coast of California. The packing of
sardines in this country began about
thirty-fve years ago. Thousands Of
people now find employment in one
part and another ofthe work, in catch
ing fish, in making cans, and in can
ming and packing and marketing and
so on.
Sardines are put up in greater
variety than formerly, there being
nowadays sardines packed in tomato
sauce, sardlnes in mustard, spiced
sardines, and so on; but the great
bulk of the business, both imported
and domestic, are still put up in oil.
Sardines are put up also in a greater
variety of packages than formerly;
there being for example, various sizes
and shapes of oval tins, and some
French sardines are imported IN glass;
but as the great bulk of all sardines
are still put up in oil SO the great
bulk of them are still put up in the
manner of flat boxes, the great
majority of these being OF the sizes
known as halves and quarters, and
far the greater number of these being
in quarters. Sardines are packed 100
tins in a case, and the consumption of
sardines in this country is roughly
estimated at from million and a halt
to two million cases annually.
Like canned goods of every des-
cription, sardines are cheaper now
than they formerly were, and Ameri-
can sardines are sold for less than the
imported. American sardines are
now exported from this country tc
the West Indies and to South Amer

Spanish Wars Big Crop Of Pensioners.
Thousands OF Claims Already Filed by the
Men Whe Fought and the victimj'
Widow and Dependents,

A special dlsp,tch from Washing
ton to the Press saws: :
Something OF what the country may
expect in the way of pension claims
under existing laws from any future
warsimay be gathered from the appi-
cations that have so far been filed on
account of the Spanish American war.
The 10000 claim agents over the
country are, from these statistics,
are apparently losing no time or
opportunity to work up a pension
claim. The great majority of these
claims come from volunteers, the per
centage of applications from volun-
teers being more than double he
percentage from regulars in proper
tion to the number engaged.
The District of Columbia sent out
one volunteer regiment with or men,
There were no losses IN that regiment
either in killed, wounded or missing,
yet 4Io claims for pensions have al
ready been filed by members of that
regiment. In other words nearly every
other man in the regiment has already
asked for pension.
The Seventv-frst New York regi.
ment, which made record that was
considerably criticised, has presented
3IS claims for pensions.
Several of the regular regiments
that saw much more fighting than the
volunteer regiments have not pre-
sented 100 claims to a regiment.
SAN JUAN STATISTICS.
According TO statistics complied by
the Pension Bureau based on the
troops engaged In the battle OF San
Juan, where the greatest number of
casualties occurred. the volunteers
figure very largely in the applications
for pensions.
AT San Juan Hill there were 1872
regulars killed, 1907 wounded and 55
missing OF the regular regiments
engaged in that battle applications for
pensions have been presented to the
number of 24o6 tor invalids, I76 for
widows and $50 for dependents.
At that battle thirty tour volunteers
were killed, III wounded and As
missing. Yet with this small list of
casualties the claims for pensions In
behalf Of volunteers engaged in battle
number 3I75 for invaIlds, 80 for
widows and sos for dependents. There
were twenty-three regiment of regul-
ars and three regular batteries engaged
in that fight as against nine regiments
of volunteers.
Pension officials say that it is evil
dent that it would be cheaper for the
! Government to maintain larger
standing army rather than use volun-
teers in cases of this kind.

Bryan and Gold.

dar year 1893 will probably not fall short

the output OF the yellow metal for 1900 he
asserts that all the indications SO to show
that. In spite Of the stoppage Of the flow
from the South African mines. 1t is not likely
to be less than last years production. and he
predicts that the total annual yield will soon
reach $400 OOOOOO. This does not seem un-
reasonable In view OF the tremendous increase
which the last few years have witnessed. The
Soil OF the United States and Alaska alone
turned out 81, OO0. 900 in gold in 1899. which
Is more than half the amount which came
from the mines Of the whole globe in 1891

the worlds yield Of gold was 500, OOO. OOO. It
has already increased over 50 per cent, and
II Director Roberts is right in his forecast
the increase will soon reach 100 per cent

the supply OF gold was inadequate to AFFORD
