Ferris Wheel Park, Chicago. Nov. 4.
Capt. \. II. Bogardus, the champion
wing shot of the world. has spent the
summe here. His shooting school has
been of the features of the Park
during the season. He has given many
exhibitions and his skill with the rife
is superb.
The Captain tells of a very close call
he ono had when living at Elkhart,
Ill. lie had been a sufferer from Kid
ney disease for several years, and it
rapidly developed into Bright's Disease.
All his friends told him that this was
incurable, and that he would never get
better.
To say that he was alarmed is to put
it very mildly. This plucky man had
faced many dangers. and it made him
sick at heart to think that at last he
was to be conquered by such a cruel
foe.
AT last he heard of a medicine that
had cured many such cases-Dodd's
Kidney Pills. He used them and was
completely restored to good health.
He says: IL attribute my present
good health to Dodd's Kidney Pills and
to nothing else"

TRADE REPORT.

New York.-BradsIreet Report for
last week is as follows:
Aside from quite perceptible in
crease of the spirit OF unrest in labor
circles there are few new changes TO
record in the general trade or indus
trial situation. Business at present the
country over is OF a seasonaDle recorder
character with wholesalers in dry
goods, clothing and similar lines, but
the volume of business is fair for the
season and collections are rapid. like
wise. The basic 1acts underlying the
situation continue largely OF a favor
able character. Notable in this respect
is the crop situation, particularly for
the cereals, which is in a high degree
promising. The backward spring and
lack of rains in some sections has mill
tated against the growth of cotton, but
improvement is noted even in this re-
spect. The industries are active. Iron
and steel are strong but quiet as re-
CARDS new demand for the new cruiser
forms, but the finished products have
been heavily ordered and the mills
have sufficient business to keep them
busy from one to three months, while
a large additional business is reported
in sight.
Foreign trade continues largely to
favor this country and the demand for
wheat to replace possible smaller yields
in European countries has swelled the
volume of export trade, which might
otherwise have fallen off from April a
year ago because of smaller shipments
of cotton and of manufactured goods.
Despite the talk of rate cutting and
of expectations of a smaller movement
of goods as the spring advances, rail
way earnings continue exceptionally
favorable, some great systems report
ing maximum weekly earnings. Prob
ably the best reports as to the new de-
mand come from the leather and allied
trades, while the poorest as heretofore
are received from the textile indus
tries.

The official estimate of the last run
of the mill at the Ymir mine is given

estimated profit on operating is $27 500.
Everything continues satisfactory"
Work has been resumed on the Commo-

mina on Wild Horse creek.

 No Jewish soldier in the Roumani- Rn army can be promoted to a com mission, however brave and loyal he may be. The saying is that as long as he is with the flag he is a sol- Iier. When he ceases to be, he be- comes a Jew again. Even if he en- lists for second term of service, he does not, like others who do so, earn . pension thereby. An army surgeon, fl he be a Jew, and the best surgeons in Roumania are Jews as a rule, only ranks as common soldier, whereas his professional interiors rank as of fcers. No Jews are admitted into the military schools, and, however high the scholastic or university dis functions and grades of Jew, he has to serve as "ranker" for three years, instead of being let off as a ''volontaire" with one years service. Such is the treatment accorded to the 30,000 Jews belonging to the ac- tive army and reserves of the Rou- manian state.-Nationa1 Review.

When resident in this land, one read fly comprehends those strange mar riages with native beauties which can never be understood in the outside world. This is the genuine land of "manana," a tomorrow which never arrives.
 Although the cultivation of coffee was introduced among these people over hundred years ago it has never been in high favor with them as a bey- craze, the Mexicans, as rule, prefer ring chocolate, which is indigenous to the soil. A native, more than any thing else, enjoys his chocolate, unless he desires something which will inc oriate as we'll as cheer, when he is most apt to indulge in pulque, a liquor made from the cactus, whichif imbibed to any great extent brutalizes the fac nlties.

TALK ABOUT COFFEE.
The Worlds First Supply Came
 from Araby the Blest.
Nowadays Brazil, Central America and Java Control the Worlds Markets-Immense Planta-
 tions fin Mexico.
Especial Mexican Letter.1

THERE has been probably no
 greater factor in our ciyiliZa-
 ton than the development of railways in the different parts of the world. To them we are indebted for the cheapness of many articlesregard- ed by us as common necessities, by our forefathers as luxuries, while 200 years ago they were almost unknown to Europeans. Among them is the coffee found upon nearly every break fast table. During Cromwell's time the first coffee house was established in London by a man who had brought some of the berries from Arabia, to the delight of his friends and patrons. Arabia may be said to be divided into three parts, one of stones, another of sands and deserts, while the third, Happy Arabia, ''Araby the Blest," is Q land of gardens, olive trees and vine yards. Here is Yemen, from which all the civilized world at first obtained it's coffee supply. Mocha, the chief town, stands on sandy seashore, at the entrance to the Red sea, by the treacherous strait of Babel Mandeb. Prices for the berry were so very high that the different nations turned their attention to coffee raising in their various colonies. France first sent plants to the West Indies. Brazil now exports nearly a sufficient amount to supply the world. Itis said that in that country from five to ten times as many pounds of corn or wheat might be raised to the acre as of coffee, if the laborers were adapted to cultivating those crops.
 Coffeaahas grown wild in Ceylon from the earliest times. Natives mixed the leaves with their food and decorated their temples with the flow CTS hundreds of years before they found any use for the berries. In natural state the plant grows tall, but
