A Swim In the Dead Sea.

Bvery one has heard of the buoy
ancy Of the water of the Dead Sea. 1t
Is virtually impossible to sink in the
Dead Sea, and SO great is the quantity
of salt in the water that If you dip
your hand in and draw 1t out again,
you will Immediately see the salt crys-
tallizing in the sun. 1t is needless to
remark that An involuntary mouthful
of Dead Sea water is a horrible expe-
rence, never likely to@be forgotten by
the bather. However; if you don't stay
In the water too long, n swim in the
Dead Sea is very extraordinary and
pleasurable experience. The shores, as
is well known, are strangely desolate,
and they are strewn with bits Of wood
and branches Of trees all crusted with
brine in the most curious manner, and
woe unto any one who goes into this
water having open cuts or scratches on
his body.

Chronic Rheumatism.

This name should, according to all
medical usage, represent a continue
tion of an acute rheumatism in less
violent and painful form, and such
cases are actually found under the
name chronic rheumatism. Yet this
name, as ordinarily employed, desig
mates several affections, all of which
are characterized by pains in the joints
or in the muscles, which have q ten
!dency to persist indefinitely. There is
Il form Of chronic rheumatism which
affects the patient like the acute dis
ease, except that the symptoms are less
marked; there may be no fever, the
pain and soreness are less Intense, the
tenderness on pressure is comparatively

Electricity Interferes with Science.

Electricity Interferes with Science.
The observations of earth currents at
Greenwich observatory have been
made practically useless for several
years by the electric railway from
Stockwell to London, modern instru-
ments being so sensitive that indica-
tions of the current of this railway
have been detected more than 100 miles
away. An early effect Of the railway
led to a funny experience. The gener-
atlng station was visited by the mag
netic superintendent Of the obserya-
tory, and on his return to work the
tracings of his magnets showed a curl
GUS DETECTION, which continued day
after day, but only during the hours of
his attendance. The idea that he was
magnetized was a startling one. But
one day he left his umbrella at home
and there was no disturbance, the UNI
brella having been permanent magnet
since the visit to the power station.

Profitable Advertising.
For local business the local newspa-
pers are by far the best advertising
mediums.-The Ad Writer.
Advertising is valuable exactly In
proportion to the extent to which the
thing advertised is found to bear out
the claim made for it.-Montreal Cam
Witness.
The force and profit of advertising
consists in constantly keeping before
the people your location what you have
to sell, the prices at which you will sell,
and in reuglously keeping every prom
ise.-St. Louis Star.
The question Is often asked, Why is
newspaper advertising the most profit
able? And 1t is to be said that most OF
the answers have failed in giving the
actual reason. The first reason is that
the newspaper advertisements find the
public mind when 1t is In an explana-
tory and receptive condition. When a
person In his own time Is reading g
newspaper he Will naturally take In
with the news of the outside world
those facts which are of use in. man
agement of his home and the purchase
of his supplies. The second Is, when
seller puts his advertisement In a news
paper heat once enters into open COM
petition with all others in the same line
of business; his facts and prices are
stated with the knowledge that they
will be noted by these competitors as
we'll as by the public, while the adver-
tiser by circular or sign seems to be
endeayoring to do quiet, non-com-
petltiye business.-Paterson On. j.

MARRIAGES IN THE ARMY.
Stringent Regu1at tions In Force In Sew
eral Countries.


The restrictive conditions at present
In force with regard TO the marriage of
officers of the Russian army, says u
writer in the Brooklyn Citizen, forbid
in the case of officers under the age of
%. Between the ages of % and 2S
years the dot Of an officers wife must
amount to a sum representing the mini
mum income of 250 rubles yearly.
On comparison of these conditions
with those regulating the same ques-
tion in other European armies, 1t may
be noted that in the Austro- Hungarian
army the number of officers authorized
to contract marriage is limited by a
fixed proportion assigned to each
grade and, these totals being reached,
all further marriages must be deferred
pending the occurrence of vacancies in
the married establishments.
The Italian army regulations, which
fix the income Of the fiancee at mini
mum of from 1000 to 1000 lire, would
appear to be more rational in their
operation. Italian officers, however,
apply a somewhat liberal interpreta-
tion to this law, with the result that the
number of marriages occurring under
actual provisions does not exceed more
than one-eighth of the total number,
seven-eighths Of the officers being uni
ted under the conditions of the re-
ligious ceremony only, and thus expos
ing themselves to all the inconveni-
ences which attend marriage not rec
ognized by civil law.
Similar disabilities would now ap-
pear 10 be incurred by the Russian Of
ficers, and suggestions have been made
by the press in Russia that a general
revision Of the law is necessary The
question is assuming more Importance
from the fact that Russian officers,
reaching total of nearly 10000, repre-
sent one Of the most important classes
in the state.

IRRIGATION.

Irrigation of land is an art that
has existed for many centuries pre-
vious to any authentic written his
tory. The traditions of the Chi
nese people are very ancient, and
irrigation is mentioned in their
most ancient traditional history,
as being extensively practiced. In
Egypt Syria and the ancient king
doms Of Eastern Asia, agriculture
depended almost wholly upon IL
rigation, and still 30 depends in
these lands, where the people have
survived the political changes of
thousands Of years. Virgil in his
rural poems thus describes exact
ly the processes which are follow
ed now. "He leads the stream
and flowing rivulets, to the grow
ing corn, and when the burnt field
dries up. the herbs dying. he leads
the water and cools the parched
fields with rills. The irrigation

A Great State Paper.

States.
The most pitisble exhibition of
partisan malevolence we have ever
witnessed is the effort of some
Republican newspaper to dispsr-
age the recent great speech of Mr..
Bryan as the effort Of . demsgo-
que. To our mind that speech
is one of the grandest State papers
that have been given the country.
It may, without exaggeration, be
termed The Second Declaration of
Independence. 4
The Declaration of Indepen-
dence issued in 1776 was q procla-
nation of our independence of q
throned monarch. The Declare
ton issued BY Mr.. Bryan is q De-
claration of Independence of the
Money Power, Of the Trusts and
of the Protectionists, of q vulgar
and insolent Plutocracy.
The spirit of independence, of
liberty began with the American
people in 1776, and the American
people then won their liberties
against overwhelming odds. Does
this spirit live in the people of
this generation. If aye, the Rep
ublic, the Constitution, our liber-
ties will be saved. It may, then
will come the Empire and the Con-
stitution and our free institutions,
together with all that was won in
1776, will be lost
The Republic is at stake and
the American people are on trial.
Abraham S. Hewitt asks If we
shall elect q President whose
views may wreck the business in
terests OF the country. We an
swer back. shall. the country, with |
all its vast business and property
interests, be at the nod of half q |
dozen or fewer plutocrats who
have BEEN built up by plundering |
the people, and not only the bust |
ness interests of the country wrec- |
ked by three or four men, bat our |
liberties likewise destroyed and |
the country governed by q Pluto
cracy?
Mr.. Brysn's speech was not the |
speech of q dernagogue, but on
the contrary. it was q great State |
paper and the greatest and grand |
est that has been given to the |
American people since the War of |
Independence. It should be read |
by every man, woman and child |
IN the Republic. Aye. il should |

month regarding the midsummer
demandWere again fulfilled in the
week just closed; enquiry wide
spread; individual orders larger
and Of assorted character, the lat
ter together with imperative in
structions as to shipment further
confirming recent reports that
stocks throughout the country are
generally light and will stand in
need of constant resupply. With
limited holdings in first hands and
such a promising outlook it is not
surprising that sellers carry them
selves with take Il or leave it,
air. In addition to the ordinary.
call, several .sizsble transactions
have been negotiated for ship
ments to Porto Rico; this mov>a
ment is no longer of q plungin
character, operations being con-
fined to those having regular
clientage on the island. With .
scanty supply of styles required,
buyers at the present time are
purchasing in advance and carry
ing stocks here. The patronage
of the week was divided about,
equally between domestic and
foreign. The trouble in China,
together with the possibility of
war, have caused a marked cur
tailment of shipments from the
far Fart to Europe. and with shor-
tened supply prices in Europe
have advanced some Is points; this
market partially responding there
to.
Advices from the South note
steady but rather uneven demand
in the Southwest Along the At
lantic coast much Of the supply is
held above current market, al
though the least fraction below
what goods can b brought from
elsewhere, thus Earrings possibili-
ty of future competition. Holders
referred to have figured over local |
requirements and are confident |
that the remnant will be easily |
placed before the incoming of the |
new crop and at their asking fl
cures. Meanwhile, there are those |
who think the "bird in hand is |
better than bug in bin," hence Of
ferings are fair but not being su-
perabundant, full recent values
are promptly secured. |
Concerning new crop: While
greatly belated, all reports are
most promising. In the Sonth-
west heavy showers every day du-
ring past two weeks have been
timely, assuring the Providence
crop and also working wonders for
the general crop which, being late,
could profitably stand liberal
supply of top moisture.
Cables and correspondence from
abroad note marked activity at an
advance Of I cent per pound, with
tendency still upward. ALI mark
cts are extremely sensitive as, in
the event Of war in the East, the
supply of Europe will be entirely
cut of. Some of themore conser-
vative shippers have already can
,elled contracts, as they do not
consider the moiety profit q fair
compensation for the possible
risks.
