On the bay, or north side of the city, is
the commercial section, with wharveS
stretching along for nearly two miles,
lined with sheds and large storage
houses. In this same portion are three
grain elevators with an aggregate Stor-
age capacity of 3,250,O00 bushels. The
island from the north side is connected
with the mainland by railroad bridges
and the longest wagon bridge in the
world, nearly two miles in length. On

A Whistling PeopIe.

The natives of Gomera. one of the
Canary isles, converse with one an.
other by whistling on their fingers. 1t
is possible to understand n message a
mile off. Each syllable of word has
it's own peculiar sound. Gomera is cut
up by number of deep glens, which
are not bridged over, and as it would
otherwise be impossible for the inhab-
itants on separate sides of a glen to
talk with one another without going
long way round to meet, they have
hit upon the whlstling device as the
best means of communication.

Metric system in Russia.

1t is probable that the metric system
will be introduced before long in Rus

to this effect by the minister OF finance
has received the appreciation OF the
state council, with the understanding
that the university and the various
scientific societies will give their
assistance in the verification of
the weights and measures necessary for
commercial use. The details have
been nearly all decided on, and will he
submitted to the council in the near

There is more Catarrh in this section Of the
country than all other diseases put together,
and until the last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For great many years doctors pro-
remedies, and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a constitu.
tional disease, and therefore requires constitu-
tional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, man
uiactured by +. J. Cheney d Co., Toledo, Ohio,
is the only constitutional cure on the market.
1t is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to
a teaspoonful. 1t acts directly on the blood

the wharves. In addition to being the
country's greatest cotton port, immense
quantities of grain, lumber, live stock
and dairy products are sent through
Galveston. Much of the grain from
Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa and the Da-
kotas, which formerly went to Eastern
ports for shipment now goes to Calves
ton because the shippers can save in
charges by loading at that port. The
lumber exports in 1889 amounted to
S1,247, Ola and in 1899, the port handled
100000 worth of eggs. Its trade in
live stock, dairy products and poultry
has developed rapidly since the harbor
improvements.
Location and Description.
Galveston is situated on the northeast
extremity of Galveston Island at the
mouth Of Galveston Bay, the entrance
to which is through the channel be-
tween the city and the southwest point
Of the peninsula Of Bolivar. The island
is twenty-seven miles long, runs north
east and southwest, and Is from one
and one-half to three and one half miles
wide. Where the city is built 1t is one
and one-half miles wide. 1t is inter
sected with many small bayous and
bordered through its whole length on
the gulf side by smooth, hard beach
forming n splendid drive and unsur.
passed bathing. On this beach is the

History of the City.

History OF the City.
The island of Galveston was occupied
by the famous pirate Latitte in 1917
and continued to be his headquarters
until his settlement was broken up in
1921. 1t is believed by many that
somewhere on the island are buried
treasures of the pirate and many
stories of romance have been woven
about the daring rover and his island
home. The city of Galveston was
founded in 1887. 1t was the scene of
stirring events during the Civil War.
The Federal forces occupied the city,
Oct. s, 1862, but it was retaken by the
Confederates on Jan. /, 1868. During
the past few years the United States
has spent $932,0O0 in the construt tion
and equipment of coast fortified ions
near the city.
Bay of Galveston.
The bay of Galveston the mouth OF
which is guarded by the island on
which the city stands as sentinel. is
a body of water with an area of about
45O square miles. 1t has an irregular
coast line and branches out into various
arms. 1t receives the San Jaclnto and
Trinity rivers and Buffalo Bayou. Ow-
ing to the island being but little higher
than the bay, inundations have often
been threatened. The bay is quite shall
low In most parts. Eentrance to 1t is
through the recently constructed deep
water channel and fanking 1t on either
side are the stone jetties five miles long.

1naJ IN ADDRESSING Mrs. Pinkham
you are communicating with woman
"a woman whose experience in treat
Ing womans ills is greater thai that
Of any living person-male or female.
A woman can talk freely to a wo-
man when it is revolving to relate her
private troubles to man.
Many women suffer in silence and
drift along from bad to worse. know
Ing full well that they should have
immediate assistance, but a natural
modesty impels them to shrink from
exposing themselves to the questions
and probable examination of even
their family physician. 1t is unneces-
sary. Without money or price you can
consult a woman, whose knowledge
from actual experience is unequaled.
Women suffering from any form of
female weakness are invited to freely
communicate with Mrs. Pinkham at
Lynn, Mass.
All letters are received, opened,
read and answered by women only.
This is positive fact-not a mere
statement. 1t is certified to by the
mayor and postmaster of Lynn and
others whose letters, all in little book,
Mrs. Pinkham has just published.
Write for copy, it is free. Thus
has been established the eternal con-
tidence between Mrs. Pinkham and the
women of America which has never
been broken and has induced more
than 1O0,O sufferers to write her for
advice during the last few months.
Out of the vast volume of experience
which she has to draw from, it is
more than possible that she has gained
the very knowledge that will help
your case. She asks nothing in re-
turn except your goodwill, and her
advice has relieved thousands. Here
are some of the cases we refer to.

which followed terrific storm that
aged along the Gulf coast for three
laws. When the city had recovered
rom this calamity and was built up
n more beautiful and substantial style
than ever. devastating fire nearly de-
stroyed it in November, 1885. Its en-
terprising citizens were not dismayed,
however, and the city was soon rebuilt.
In August, 1899, it was injured com
mercially to a great extent by the Bra
zos flood in which rich farming lands
having an area of 1,3S0,O0O acres were
submerged for eight days to depth of
two to twenty feet The loss as esti-
mated by the United Statrs Depart
ment of Agriculture was $7,414, ,0O0
The city has triumphed over all these
adversities and will doubtless arise
with increased strength from the pres
ent appalling disaster, for it is the
greatest seaport of the South, being
connected with the entire railway sys-
tenn of the United States and Mexico
and having direct lines of steamship
communication with all the great ports
Of the world. 1t is the largest cotton
exporting point in the United States
and among the 127 foreign exporting
points in the country 1t holds fifth
place. During the year 1898 its exports
increased $1O,5OO,OOO and its export and
import trade is now fully $100000,000
year.

Harbor improvements.

A leading cause Of the city's great
commercial progress during the past
few years is the harbor improvements
made by the national government, in
volving an expenditure of over $S,OOO,-
600. In 1895 the depth of the channel
over the bar was only twenty-one feet
By the construction of jetties and other
improvements which were finished in
January, 1898, the depth was increased
to twenty-eight feet and is still inereas-
ing at the rate Of six inches each year
owing to the action of the wind and
tide. This depth of water permits the
