Diminished Vitality.

Some people talk very flippantly
about diminished vitality.
They don't stop to think that vitality
is the principle of life-that it is that
little understood something on which
every function of their bodies depends
Diminished vitality is early indicated
by loss of appetite, strength and en-
durance. and Hoods Sarsaparilla is
the greatest vitalizer.

Often college men point to the times
when boys entered college at IA or
whereabouts, graduating at II or Is.
That was the condition Of things, a
century ago. To be sure, the college
course then was hardly in the class
with a college course now, but that is
fury. however, though the colleges are
constantly demanding more in prepara-
ton and ARE exacting more in their
the average age at en-
trance and at graduation have very lit
tie increased. This is shown at Yale,
for example, where Dean Wright of the
academic department has compiled
statistics showing that the average age
at graduation has increased less than
four months in 40 years. This hardly

Gated man of today must begin active
life later than his father did. Now ow-

=, Henry Crews asserts that even if
king Edwards death should occur it
would have TO lasting injurious effect
upon the business world. profoundly
as England's sorrow would be shared
by other nations, and especially by the
United States, the event would cause
but a ripple in financial circles. His
death would involve no change in ma
tiOnal or international policies. In
actual political effect the sad event
would be of less importance than Il
change in the British cabinet or q
parliamentary election. 1t would be of
far less consequence in such respects
than the sudden death of President
Mckinley, who had a much greater in
fluence and responsibility in party
leadership and national policy than the
ruler of the British Empire. Great
Britain is practically as much of re-
public as the United Stat.ti: and, ex-
allied as the position of MNing may
be, change does not a tl + -. com
mercial or financial stabiIry Of a ma
ton governed SO completely by the
will Of a sovereign people. The death
of Queen Victoria, in spite of her long
reign and great influence, had no real
effect upon business affairs; and the
death Of King Edward, sad a dsap-
pointment as it would be to the whole
empire. would have still less effect
British credit has been through Sc
many trials lately that its general
soundness is well demonstrated, and
it would recover as readily from tits
blow as from its predecessors"

The. great increase in the petroleum.
industry is indicated. by the bulletin OF
the geological survey, which shows
that in 1901 there were almost six mil
lion barrels more produced than in 1900
and over II million more than in 1899.
The development of the Texas and
California fields accounts for. This in
large measure as Ohio, West Virginia
and Pennsylvania have had a loss of
production in recent years. The total
production in 1901 was SO, 3S9, 1874 barrels
In the order of production Ohio comes
first. with over q 100000 Of barrels;
West Virginia second, with over 14,OOO,-
900 of barrels; Pennsylvania third with
over 100000 of barrels; California
fourth. with over 100000 of barrels;
Indiana fifth, with over 5000, 900 of bar
rels; Texas sixth, with over 100000 of
barrels. AS a result of the new fields
there were organized 1873 oil stock COM
panies in 1901 with a capital stock Of
about 500, 900. There were A,25O
new wells completed during the year,
OF which a fifth are now dry. About
half of the petroleum and it's products
is exported, notwithstanding the high
duties that are imposed by almost ali
countries, except Great Britain, upon
zHimports of our petroleunh This
Isff seems to indicate that no 'pther
>a1hficial source of light can replace
petroleum in the markets of the Ysrld.

The Railroad help.

The Columbia State says a short
time ago the state treasurer wrote a
letter to the different railroad compa-
MES asking them if convenient to pay
their annual taxes into the State
treasury. The lines Of the Southern
and Atlantic Coast Line systems have
complied with this request Of the
treasurer and have paid their taxes to
the various county treasures. This
relieves considerably the danger Of a
stringency in money at the close OF
the year when the interest on the
State debt must be met. No doubt
the readiness Of the roads to comply
and ease the States financial condi-
ton will be properly appreciated by
the people Of the State. Treasurer
Jennings is urging every county treas
urer in the State to remit the State
taxes as rapidly is they are received.
and hopes 10 secure a sufficient sum to
tide over the term OF Stringency.

Crown Princess Louise, who said her
husband was a beast" and that she
would never again return to the court.
1t seems that the Princess eloped with
a French tutor, who had been en-
ployed to teach the children. She is
an Austrian archduchness, being the
eldest daughter OF ArchduEe Ferdl-
nand. who represents the Tuscan
branch of the Austrian imperial famI-
ly. She was born at Salzburg in 1870
and married at Vienna in 1891. She
is considered one Of the prctueSt prIn-
cesses in Europe, being endowed with
great personal charm, keen inteIli-
gence, learning and modesty. The
crown prince is a fine looking. soldier
" man Of 81 years. There are five
children of the marriage, the eldest,
Prince George, being nearly 10 years
old.
