The powers are still IN quandary as
to what they shall do with China. If
they demand an indemnity beyond the
power of China to pay. they will have
to take the country, and probably fight
over division of it; and if they do
not demand all China can paw, thew
lose the shortage They are there for
the spoils and each wants the lions

duced profitable commerce to almost

BRONCHITIS

may mean a mere cold or a
chronic incurable infamma-
ton of wind-pipes.
The quickest relief, for a
cold, is also the most effectual
balm for the worst condition
of wind-pipes and lungs.
1t takes the edge off a cold
in a night, and relieves it pro-
gressively-one forgets it after
a little.
An old bronchitis, however,
is obstinate. Nothing re-
stores the tissues, when once
destroyed; and an old bronch-
it's has gradually impaired and
partly destroyed the lining of
those small pipes between
throat and lungs.
SCOTS emulsion of cod-liver
oil is the balm; it sooths if it
cannot restore.

least three of the wells are producing

the production of all the wells in Cali
FORMS, more than double those of
Pennsylvania, and nearly half as much
as the aggregate production of all the
wells in the United States, of which

cover ten counties in the state, and its

When Digestion Begins.
The great task of the census In past
years has been "digesting the facts re-
ceived from the enumerators The sched-
ules come in, literally by the million, and
on each schedule are answers to scores OF
questions. The information is all there
but to get 1t QUITO count all the separate
items, and then to combine all the items In
all the different ways and to count all
these combinationS-haS presented task OF
herculean proportions. This is what is now
done by machinery. The force at work IN
Washington, the hundreds of "puncners,
as they are called, have really learned
new language. For all the information
which has been gathered by the census
takers there are arbitrary symbols; each
fact may be expressed by figures or letters.
The puncher has a card on which are hg-
ures and symbols in different columns, ana
the clerk will instantaneously translate
the information on the schedule into the
figure language and punch out those hg-
ureS in the card. Thus, No. 304 punched IN
a card means that the farm represented by
the card grows gOoSeberrieS, that the guam
tity of gooseberries has been reported In
denominations of quarts. Certain other fg-
ures added indicate the number OF quarts.
Nearly SO,OO0,O0O Cards.
Every person is represented by card.
Therefore, there are 76,30}.3S7 cards repre-
senting people; each contains all the gov
eminent wants to know about that particu-
lar individual. Then every farm In the
United States is represented by a card,
which contains, in the hole symbols the
complete story of the farm-its value, It's
area whether owned or rented. the value
of the implements, the value of the build
ings, the value of the products, the value
of the products fed to stock, the amount OF
fertilizer used and the amount paid to Ia
Dor in working the farm. There are some
thing like seven million of these cards.
Then for every farm there are about TWEEN
ty other cards, ach representing one OF It's
crops and containing a vast amount OF IN
formation as to it's quantity, value ana
manner of raising. So, altogether, there
are over two hundred million cards, an
swering several billion questions.
Every time the cards are put through
the machines some new detail is brought
to view: and when the work has been COM
pleted the published volumes will present
a complete picture of the numerical and
industrial condition of the country.

The Great Russian Fair.
From the New Lppincott.


Most celebrated Of Russian fairs Is that
held each summer at Mini Novgorod Qit-
orally 'the new lower city,, which at
tracts buyers and sellers from occident and
orient and is favorite resort for the globe
trotting sightseer.
A low island at the confluence of the
Okla and Volga is reserved for the site of
this annual gathering, which has an enor-
nous effect upon Russian trade In winter
the frozen waters quite overflow the fair
grounds, and every spring extensive re-
pairs are necessary in order to make the
buildings fit for use. AS for the bridge
that connects the island with the main
land it is laid on boats and removed before
the ice has chance to damage it. Mini
Novgorod is distinctively wholesale fair,
and at it are determined the prices of many
commodities, including cotton and wooden
goods, the entire iron product of the Ural
district. tea, fur, leather and leather
goods, hides, drugs, chemicals, linens, silks,
etc.
Here. too, are credits established Every
participant is known by his neighbor, and
the financial standing of a newcomer is
readily determinable by questioning his
fellow-townsmen. During the progress of
the fair the state of the Russian harvest
becomes known, fact In itself of supreme
national Importance.

Famine in Southern Russia.
rom the Anglo Russian.

From the Anglo Russian.
The Government Messenger publishes
long statement regarding the famine, ty-
plus and other diseases which have been
raging since last year in southern Russia
and Bessarabia, especially in the extern
sive district Of Elizavetgrad. in the gov
eminent of Kherson. The official paper de-
MES the existence of any acute distress in
the last-named district, but at the same
time states that a government grant Of
100000 pood Of grain has been made to
has lasted there since January last; that
extra medical assistance has been accorded
by the Red Cross Society in the village Of
Zinka calculated TO supply with hot meals
4S0 people.
This official statement is particularly in
teresting in view Of the fact that the gov
ernor Of Kherson, Prince Obolensky, has
hitherto persistently refused to acknowl-
edge that there has been any famine there
and has brought the penalty of the law to
bear on any Russian who has attempted to
bring the facts Of the case to the knowl-
edge Of the central government. Several
letters from the district appealing for help
having reached prominent members Of the
English colony in st. Petersburg, a depu-
tation was sent with the knowledge Of a
vestigations. When there, the delegate was
formally interdicted from distributing re-
lief and was Swallowed by detectives where
ever he went. A telegram to st. Peters
burg, for which he made payment and re-
ceived a receipt, was not delivered. Doubt
less had he been a Russian subject he could
have been arrested.
