Run your eye up and down
the advertising columns and
notice the number of medicines
that are advertised and the
promises they make.
Most of them guarantee to
cure almost everything.
You are bewildered between
the good and the bad, the. real
and the humbugs.
Well, if you bite at every
weed you find in the fields, you
will run across trouble sooner
or later.

Tt is curious fact that while the Dem

enthusiasm for free silver that the son.gs
of 1896 show. free coinage is still the pre-

no songs for anti-imperialism; all are for

OF INTEREST TO AMERICANS.
Some Commercial Tips That Suggest
Valuable Possibilities.

There is an increasing demand at
Moscow, Russia, for electrical ma
chinery. both for power transmission
and lighting purposes. The bulk of
the orders are said to be going to Ger
many and Switzerland, and If Ameri-
can mauufacturers We're to turn their
attention to the Russian market con-
siderable business could be secured.
It must not be forgotten that Germany
has already gained an important posi-
tion-in fact a commanding one-in
Russian trade. Not only has she vast
amounts of capital invested, but she
has a large number Of her people there,
The banking business is mainly in Ger
man influence. Many of the mills
now being built all over Russia are in
the hands of German directors and
are being paid for with German CAPT.
tai. German weavers and spinners
are exploiting with the entire empire.

pairs. insurance, etc, are taken into
consideration comes to a sum OF

capacity for 260 working days, gives
an average cost of a fraction under 3
cents a net ton a mile. The same

at 20 cents ton a mile. This Is a

LABOR IN SOUTH AFRICAN MINES.

Black labour is to be had in any
quantity, under proper conditions, and
the best Of it is excellent in quality.
The trouble is that conditions have
been SO bad that none but the lowest
element of the blacks would submit to
working in the TransNaal, and even
these hardly at all except under pres
sure OF absolute necessity. Abuse,
eNtortion, enforced labour on the
farms without pay. trickery, robbery
of their accumulated earnings by beers
these have not attracted the negro to
the South African Republic No doubt
the regulation of political conditions
as between the two races is a difficult
one, but the boer of the Transvaal has
not even approached 1t. Oppression OF
the blacks has ruined the labor sup
ply OF the Witwaterstrand, and not the
least benefit of a good, honest, and
just government will be the ameliora-
ton Of conditions in this respect. A
hut tax" by which the negro is made
to supply some share in the support of
the government, and in return for
which he receives protection of law

methods of raising the standing and

VALUE OF WOOD PULP.
Paper makers as Yet Unable to Find
Substitute for it.

Paper manufacturers are still
searching for a substitute for wood
pulp in the manufacture of paper for
the daily press-not, it is said, be-
cause there is any probability of an
immediate scarcity of wood, but be-
cause of the inordinate charges of the
trust.
. Then. too manufacturers are de-
pendent upon weather conditions,
which produce plenty of water with a
good head in the raceways, because
wood pulp mills are not only depend
ent upon water 70" power, but also for
washing, mixing and bleaching pur-
poses The weather is too uncer-
tain quality for the manufacturers
TO depend upon for these things. The
present scarcity of wood pulp is at
tributed to the dry weather of the
autumn
Experiments have been made in as
many as fifty different kinds of vege-
table flbers to make suitable pulp,
but so far none of them has been pro-
ductive of anything equal to wood
The nearest that chemists have come
is pulp which will make fair grade
of wrapping paper. In Holland this
pulp is made out of potato stalks; in
Louisiana it is made of substance
called bagasSe, taken from sugar cane,
and in Kansas the sunflower. None,
however, can fill the space occupied
by spruce timber.
This is the wood most generally
used, but often, in regions where
spruce is not plentiful, hemlock or
poplar is used. Pine makes excellent
pulp, but it is considered too valuable
as a building timber to be utilized in
the manufacture of paper.
THE danger of future scarcity of
wood for pulp purposes" said man
in the paper trade, appeals to no one
more forcibly than to those who own
the present available tracts of spruce
timber
This land is owned in huge blocks
in the AdirondaCks, in Maine and in
New Hampshire, yet the bulk of the
IItotlI supply hVtS uOI NpIl' LIoih
these sections: it comes from Canada
and Newfoundland where spruce is to
be had in almost any quantity. The
reason for the Canadian supply is
readily explained. The owners of the
timber tracts in 1.-THE states" have
already taken alarm at the waste that
has been going ON. and some of the
primisCnos cutting which hitherto
prevailed has been stopped. Spruce is
now cut only for ,he paper trade, and
in cutting for this only the older tim
Der is taken out, the younger trees
being left to mature.
with an eye to the future, probably,
the lumberNen are thus most carefully
nourishing their young spruce, while
drawing upon the forests of Canada
for their immediate supply, since they
find they can. with profit, buy, cut and
carry sufficient spruce across the Dor
der, while letting their young forests
gain strength each year
Canada is likely to shut the door
on spruce, as it already has done on
some other kinds of building timber,
When that time comes the lumbermen
in the states can fall back on their
healthy young forests to bring them
increased revenue, = New York Even

CHAPTER VII.

CHAPTER VII.
The days passed on; the old Squire
was happy and content He was now
to all intonts and purposes rich man,
Lord Rhysworth had settled on him
such sum Of money as would enable
him to live In luxury and comfort at
White Cliffe; and when the old man
died 1t was all to revert to his daugh-
ter. Dolores had forgotten the day when
her lover came, with all the papers and
deeds needful to this end in his hand
and asked to see her. She always
obeycd even his least WISH so she
went ut once to him There were no
excuses, no coquettish delays to en-
hance the value OF her presence
The next morning she thought he
looked rather grave and anxious. She
asked If he was troubled and he said
No" but that he had something very
serious to say to her. She sat down to
listen
You must know Dolores, he said,
that, whenever the heads of our
house have married, 1t has been their
custom to bring presents Of costly
Jewels to the bride Darling, ! would
give YOU jewels worthy Of queen IS nc
coptance~~cv even then they would not be
good enough for you-but in their

father. 1t VIII make him rich for life,
and At his death it viii come all to you
fako them In your hands, Dolores, and
You yourself shall give them to him"
Shc thanked him in simple kindly
words; but he was not content,
Il want something In return, D.
lorcs DO You know what It Is?

think how little she could give him.
II want something YOU have never
given before; and to make 1t of any
value you must give It to me of your
own FREQ Will want a kiss. Dolores
only one, VIII you give It to me?'
She was silent for awhile, and the
fair, young face grew very pale. Then
she slowly took the papers in her
hand and held mp her face to kiss him.
It was done SO innoccntly, so solcmnly
that he was somewhat aw@d
Now" she said, II will never give
even one thought to any other man

The girl clasped the papers In her
hands more tightly
81 would sooner have these" she
said better than all the jewels in the
