kidney trouble.
Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble, because the heart is
over-working in pumping thick, kidney
poisoned blood through veins and arteries.
1t used to be considered that only urinary
troubles were to be traced to the kidneys,
but now modern science proves that nearly
all constitutional diseases have their begin

THE WEALTH OF AMERICANS
COMPUTED AT ONE HUNDRED THOU.
SAND MILLION DOLLARS.
Money Circulation Greater Per Capita
Than Any Other Nation Save France
and South American States.

| Twenty years have added to the in
habitants OF the United States numbers
nearly equal to our total population
just before the civil war. In the same
period the wealth of tbs American
people has more than doubled and has
reached hundred thousand million
dollars, says Ellis H. Roberts, United
States treasurer.
Our stock of money in circulation is
greater per capita than that of any
other nation save France and the
South American states, while our gold
per capita is exceeded only by South
Africa, Australia ana France, and our
growth In both of these items is not
equaled anywhere else, so that the
gross gold in our treasury surpasses
the volume ever gathered before under
single control.
There are tokens of material prog
ress never matched in the history of
the world. This is due to restless
activity and an efficiency of production
which have not yet reached their
maximum. improvements always in
creasing in communication and trans
portation consolidate our people and
render them more homogeneous.
Perils exist, like over-eXplOitation
In enterprise, the terrible prevalence
of crimes of violence and of strikes in
many branches of industry.
But the expenditure for education
increased more than % per cent. per
capita in two decades, and the immense
private gifts for colleges, charities !,
churches and libraries illuminate
both the present and the future. The
| tendencies to arbitration between cap
ital and labor, and between nations,
emphasized by recent examples on a
large scale, promise peace within our
borders and, let Us hope, throughout
| the world.
Before Two decades pass we shall
add to our population more than the
present total population of any othen
country in the world, save Russia,
India and China, and possibly Ger
many. Our wealth will increase in a
still larger ratio. Alread our achieve
ments lift the republic to foremost
place in our foreign relations.
What has been gained in twenty

harvests of the future. Americas COM

UNCLE SAM FARMS ON HISTORIC GROUND

One Of the most famous farms in the
United States is being conducted by
Uncle Sam on portion of the historic
estate formerly the property of Gen.
Robert E. Lee. Two hundred acres
are set apart for farming operations.
The remainder of the estate is the
National Military cemetery, where are
buried $4,000 union soldiers who lost
their lives in the civil war. Uncle
Sam is not engaged in farming for his
own profit, says the New York Press,
but for the benefit of the farmers of
the entire country, who will be given
the results of the experiments by the
experts in the employ of the govern
ment.
For more than a year labOrers have
been engaged in clearing the land and
preparing it for crops. Modern build
ings are in course of construction, and
within a short time the farm will be
in full operation. Breeding of supe-
rior wheat, corn and oats will also be
attempted. New fruits will be intro.
duced. and those already grown in this
country will be improved upon. Dis
eases of pears, peaches, plums and
other fruits will be studied with view
to stamping OUT the ailments of fruits
and making fruit growing more profta-
BILE. Experiments for the purpose of
determining the best forage crops
and the most economical plants for
feeding cattle will be some of the fea-
lures of this interesting place.

CANNON BALLS OF GOLD.
Each Shot from Gun Represented
a Fortune.

From the London Tit-BIts. EsE
Wandering in the jungle half a mile
outside the Indian city of Ahmadna-
gar an old peasant came across a
round ball of metal. 1t was black and
looked like al old iron round shot, but
when the old man lifted it he was
struck with it's immense weight. He
carried it home and found, on scratch
ing it, that it was lump of solid gold.
1t weighed pounds, and its sale made
the finder rich for life.
There are many more of these can
non balls, each worth small fortune,
living hid or buried in the recesses OF
this Jungle, and their story is curl
GUS one. AT the end of the sixteenth
century. just about the same date as
that on which the Spanish Armada
was threatening this country. Ak bar,
the greatest emperor Hindustan ever
saw, was at the height of his glory.
At the head of his cOnquerlng army
he summoned Ahmadnagar to surren-
der. The city and its rich treasure
were then under the rule of the Prln'
cess Candle. Knowing that resistance
could be but short, and in bitter rage
against the oppressOr she caused all
the treasure of gold and silver TO be
melted down. Then she cast the met
al into cannon balls, and engraved up
on each maledictions against the COO
oueror. These were fired into the
Jungle, and when Akbar entered the
CITY instead of the rich hoard he had
hoped to- win he found treasury ao'
solutelY empty.

Secretary Wilson is taking pride in
directing this work. The portion OF
the Lee estate set apart for farming
purposes is about the poorest piece of
land In that section of the country. 1t
was entirely unfit for agricultural pur-
poses, and it was necessary to fertilize
and improve it. The experts of the
agricultural department expect to
demonstrate that the poorest land in
the country can be proitablY utilized
for successful farming operations.
General Lees former home is one of
the most beautiful spots in the vicin-
ity of the national capital. The man
sion stands on the brow of hill which
slopes away half a mile to the Potomac,
200 feet below. The view from the
pOrtico of the old mansion has been
famed for century. When Lafayette
was guest at Arlington he pronounc-
ed the landscape from the porch one of
the most beautiful he had ever looked
upon. Since LaFayette's visit the
view has been changed, new beauties
have been added, while some of the
old ones were destroyed by the raw
ages of war. The completed capitol,
with its majestic dome, the symmetri-
cal Washington monument, the beauti-
full congressional library and other
architectural features have taken
their place in the picture, while a
grove of majestic trees which graced
the slope below the house were utterly
destroyed during the greatest civil con-
tlict ever waged.

POOR PROSPECT FOR COTTON
