Money For the State Fair.
Times Union and Citizen.

Times UniOn and Citizen.
When the state fair project was first
suggested, and afterwards Jacksonville
selected as the site, it was the purpose OF
the association TO plan on quite an ex-
tehsive scale, to erect attractive build
ings, and the necessary money was in
sight, but now that misfortune has over
taken Jacksonville these plans have been
suddenly changed, because if it is de-
cided TO still hold the fair here land il
seems that this is the wish of the people
of Florida) Jacksonville will not be called
upon for dollar, nor would it be right
to impose even this slight burden upon
her people. If the state gives the fair as
sociation $500 We feel confident the
people throughout the state will contrib
ute as much more, and this will success
fully conduct the fair on the modest lines
proposed; but if the state does not ap-
propriate this small sum it may be prob
able that the state fair must be aban-
dOned.

Habits of the Czar.
Philadelphia Times:

Philadelphia Times:
 The Czar of Russia rises at s3o. His toilet lasts until nearly o'clock an , he then sits down at his writing table to discharge important matters of State which do not admit of delay. From 1t till II o'clock there Is a short pause, during which the Czar partakes of a light luncheon. The time from Il ito 1 o'clock Is again devoted to work. to the signing of documents, the study of bills or the reports of the ministers and governors. to which he adds marginal remarks. His majesty drinks mean while one glass of tea after another. only very rarely taking a glass of wine and a caviar sandwich. From 1 to { o'clock is devoted to his family and to the joys and sorrows of the domestic hearth. Occasionally the aide-de- camp on duty is summoned and the Czar then desire to hear if there is any thing new or interesting in the papers. of newspapers, to say nothing of books. From o'clock the Czar works again. sometimes only to 6, but often till 2 o'clock. at which hour the princi- pal meal of the day is partaken of. The rest of the evening until 9:30 is spent with the members of his family, and till 10 o'clock. should the Ex-Empress be present. After this he retires to his study and punctually at midnight goes to bed. Court banQuets and festivities interfere now and then with the routine of his dail life. but the ministers try as much as possible to keep his work ing hours uninterrupted. The officials in attendance on the Czar are highly satisfied with his state of health. His face has become round and full and has a healthy color.

INDIGESTION.

Many things you fear about yo1r stom- ach cannot be true. If you have had in digestion or dyspepsia for years 1t Is na- tu1al to believe that the stomach itself is diseased. It is only the functions of the stomach that are impaired This is the whole trouble in vast majority of cases and the proof can be had by trying Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic
 Your stomach has many things to do. and failure to do any one of them leads to imperfect digestion. The stomach gets It's nutriment and Its digestive fluids from the blood If the blood is impure or lacks the rght proportion of strength producing Iron, the whole body suffers from kind of breaking down process.
 To restore health you must start at the source of life itself-the bIood-and through that vital fluid build up the stOm- ach and other vital organs.
 Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic has cured thou sands of cases of indigestion and dyspep- Sia every year for the past forty five years It is the one remedy you can take with certainty of immediate improvement and a sure cure.
 It Is prepared with scientific accuracy and many eminent physicians prescribe it constantly. Faithful use of it will en- able you to digest your food al perfectly as you ever have. Prepared only by The pr Hartef EMe6iclne Co. Dayton. Ohi0 Sold syeEYHhake- C1

MANY USES OF ALUMINIUM. Its Cheapness and Tensile Strength Recommend It to Manufacturers.

The cheapness of aluminium at the present time-it is now the least expen- siva of all metals excepting iron. zinc and lead-is leading to its employment tor many purposes for which its great strength. particularly adapts it. Tho metal is now extensively used in place of copper, brass, tin and in some cases even iron. especially when the reduc- ton of dead weight is question of great importance. Aluminium is also beginning to be used very largely as electrical conductors, as it gives nearly the same conductance as copper, and weighs only half as much. and costs less. The progress made in the use of aluminium in the past few years justi- fies the most sanguine expectations. Twenty years ago the total output in the world did not exceed four or five tons and it's price was $30000 per ton {: ten years ago its price was reduced to about $10,000 per ton. and the output increased to about thirty tons per an- mum: now the price is $65o to $70o per ton. and the output during the last 12 months is reckoned at 5.0e0 tons.

thing on that order anyway. me woman told him that 1t would pe nm possible to fill an order from so measer a description, and advised nim 70 so around to the costumers' ana op.a.n details. The actor humbly promised eo do SO.
 when he had gone the woman turned to another customer. That man. ne explained, ''wciiid have known all apout the boots he Is to wear If he nao seen them; that is If we had maoe ehehl for him he scould have pointed ou' where they were historically ana osn- erwise.. wrong. As it is, you can see lol yourself how ignorant he IS ana no" helpless. It is customary TOT d maha ger, when anew play is to be put on. to leave the order with bootmaker for all the foot gear that are to be worn py the cast; the stylr and he designs are sent to us by the customer, or Tn soHie cases, are left to our judgment.
 What does 1t cost to shoe company for a first-class sprcduction?' inquired the customer.
 From sl,ooo to s1.soO," the woman an. swered. This present production Will cost about '$soo."
 And who pays for all thatF
 Why, the actors themselves. IL costs each one from $SO to $1O0. accord ing to the number oi changes he or she has to make in the course of the play. The supers, of course. do not have to pay for the shoes they wear-they are included in the compsny's property"
 The popularity of historical plays has made the high kid boot extending above the knee and known to the trade as "knickertaut' in greater demand than any other style. They cost from $l0 to SIS a pair. Other costume boots vary In price from s8 to $40 pair
 How many dancing shoes.' said the woman in the shop, do you suppose that young woman there-(pointins 10 a photograph of woman balancing air. ily on one great toe)-how many shoes do you suppose she ordered here yes terday? Two hundred pair. Almost as many as some people wear Tn life time, isn't It? She's going to Austra- lia. and she doesn't want to run short of shoes"
 The shoes which the young woman had ordered and which are kept in stock were quite shapeless and heelless affairs. pronounced boxtoe ex- plained the ease with which ballet dancers pose for minutes at time on them. After all the 'glittering tim selled snam.' continued the shop keeper. which you read about as 'ex- isting behind, the footlights,' does not apply. to these wares.

sHoEING FOR A NEW PLAY. Footwear a Big Item in Stage Pro- duction-Cost $1,OOO to $1 500.

New York Evening Post.
 Through some oversight the manager of a theatrical company that is soon to try an elaborate costume play upon an Eastern city has neglected to make arrangements to. have the company shod. and the anxiety into which the cast has been plunged by this care Iessness gives some idea of the impor- tance which attaches to the matter of shoeing for a modern stage production. The actors who have been engaged for this one took 1t for granted that the usual arrangements had been made with the usual bootmaker for provid- ing them with the proper footgear, and all that they would have to do would be to drop in any day and leave their measurement. That is the way they have been accustomed to buying their stage shoes, and they have been dropping into a little shop in Union Square, which has practically mo- nopoly in theatrical boot making, every day Tor the last week. The woman who is in charge of the shop during the proprietor's absence says: Tt will teach them all a lesson"
 A man who. from dress and manners, was obviously from stagaland. entered the shop and with an air of easy as surance took a chair and announced that he had come to be measured

But neither the garments nor the robes did they put off. And I wandered in the suburbs. and I said. Where do they bury the dead of this great city?"

ON TWO SIDES OF THE LINE.
Another Comparison of Conditions in
 Canada with This Country.

Souaud WItu 4u1S country.
 Philadelphia Times.
 The Dominion of Canada has just finished taking another cen.us and the population Is still onIy 5,33S, SS3, an in- crease in ten years of barely a half million. The population of the United States in 1900 was 76.356.lO2, a gain in ten years of 13.000, ,000 The popula ton of this country. tnel efore. is fifteen times Canada's, and the rate of increase of our population twenty-six times as great.
 We have two States, New York and Pennsylvania, each of which boasts a larger population than Canada and two more. Ohio and Illinois, each of which contains almost as many inhabitants as the entire Dominion. No Canadian city numbers more than a quarter of a million people. which is the popula- tion of Montreal. There are fifteen American cities larger than Montreal.
 The contrast is striking to a high de- gree. Here are two countries side by side-Canada with an area of 3,653. .946 square miles and the United States with an area of 3,5O7,64o square miles. It must be remembered, of course. that much of British North America is not habitable to man, but there Is A wide zone still unsettled. or but very sparse settled, which will compare favorably with, sections of this country now flow erine like garden. American thrift and enterprise have cleared our forests and converted them into productive fields. while Canada remains idle with a population today only few thous- and more than ours was in the year 1900.
 The Dominion has two coasts, like the United States. It has equal right with us to the use of the Great Lakes and finds in the St. Lawrence an out let from the interior to the sea which we lack.The natural resources of the country are valuable beyond present power of computation. The coal beds promise an inexhaustible supply o1 fuel. yet large quantities every year must be imported from the United States. Precious minerals. as well as the ores of the baser metals, are stored away in vast amounts in the earth. The untouched forests are full of woods useful in the lumber and paper indus tries.
