G. 'Getchell Of this place relates :,
happy experience which will be read
with interest by all those who have a
similar trouble,
1t appears that last winter Mr., Get
thell was seized with a lameness and
soreness in his back which grew worse
and worse till at last 1t became very
bad and made 1t very difficult for hir
to get about at all.
Alter a time he heard Of a new rem
edy for backache which some Of his
friends and neighDors said had cured
them, and he determined to try 1T. The
name Of the remedy Is Dodd's Kidney
Pills and MI. tGetchell has proven thai
1t is a sure cure. He says;
81 used two boxes of Dodd's Kidney
Pills according to directions, and my
lame back was entirely cured and am
all 0. K, again. Dodd's Kidney Pills
are as good as represented"
This remedy is very popular here,
and has worked some remarkable

The Wonderful Yields Of Wheat kttract-

Until the last five or six years but
little attention was given to that vast
area OF grain-producing land lying
north of the 49th parallel, and imme.
diately adjoining the northern boun.
daries pf Minnesota and Dakota.
The Canadians themselves were
aware of the wealth that lay there,
but being unable to fully occupy it,
they have asked the Americans to
assist them In converting the land
from its virgin state to one that will
largely supplement the grain,producing
area Of the North American continent
and the response has been most lib
eral.
During the year 1901 upwards Of
10000 from the United States went
over to Canada, being induced to set.
tie theme by the reports that reached
them of the success Of those who had
preceded them during the previous
years. This 10000 was increased to
10000 during the year 1902, and 1t is
fully expected that there will be fully
$4,000 during the present year. The

Canadian government Is not now be.

est palace ever built, surrounded BY

signed, while the other environs of
the capital are on a scale Of great
beauty.
Paris Is the greatest art center in
the world. Berlin and Vienna dis
pute this, but every impartial observ-
err, who looks into the matter cannot
come to any other conclusion. There
are over 100000 students in Paris and
the number is growing. None Of her
German rivals has half as many. Only
in instrumental music can the eastern
capitals excel her In everything else
Paris takes the lead.
Paris has so many squares, oblongs,
circles, etc., at the intersection of
wide, beautiful and well-shaped ave-
nues that it is task to keep track of
them all. Every point of vantage has
been seized to embellish the city and
keep her at the head Of cities seeking
pre-eminence in this way. One can
walk around Paris for months with
out exhausting the open places and
the parks which add so much to Its
beauty. Though it is the most dense
ly populated city in the world, it
covers an enormous area, the real
extent of which cannot adequately
be measured until one traverses 1t on
foot. Then one is forced to admit that
in all things Paris is great.

Peter finds 1t hard to discover a model
for his crown Since 1874 no ruler of
Servia has worn one, from 1874 to 1882
no Servian bore the title of king. There
is a tradition that a Servian ruler
named Michael received the crown and
title from the pope so far back as 1918.
but the parsonage. who is styled the first
crowned in Servian history. was Ste
phen Nemausha II, who was crowned by
a papal legatee in 1917, and, in order to
pacify his orthodox subjects recrowned
by his brother, ST. Sava, archbishop of
Servia, In 1222 On that occasion the
crown was provided by the byzantine
emperor. .. -. ,.4.
From that time the Serrvian sovereign
bore the title of king, or 'kral' till. in

CORN AND COTTON.
Egypt and Argentina as Competitors of

From the Birmingham Age-Herald

From the Birmingham Age-Herald.
While Egypt Is building dams for the pur-
pose of increasing her cotton area TN the
fond hope that she will yet be able to sup
ply Englands needs. although she grows at
present less than three million bales. Ar
gentine rises up to snatch away from US the
corn scepter. But Argentine. like Egypt.
has hard road to travel
Argentina's lands are fertile. her climate
suitable for corn growing, and her rainfall
is reasonably abundant At present how
ever her corn crop is confined to Az million
acres, as against "a million acres In this
country. She grew last year $50 million
bushels as against $50 m lliJn bushels in
this country. But she got thirty bushels
from an acre, and A cents in gold for each
bushel so that the product expressed in dol
lars and cents was s13-2J per acre. In this
country we got last year but twentyseven
bushels to the acre. worth ~ cents bushel,
or $40. 50 acre
At present Argentina's crop is largely
needed at home. She is scarcely known as
worlds producer of corn. and it is not
easy to see when she will enter with force
and volume of product the worlds market
States, and her population is not per cent
of that of this country. Who then s to cul-
tivate great corn crop? Where. indeed. 10
it to be grown?
When Egypt raises under irrigation the
worlds cotton, Argentine may grow the
worlds corn, and the one Is as improbable
as the other. They have not the acreage or
the population the energy or the capital
to accomplish their respective tasks. Corn
and cotton are our especial crops, but
have to share with Canada, Russia and
other lands the production of wheat.

A Needed Scientific Reform.

From the New York Tribune.
With the latest opening of the season
of medical, electrical and other scientific
conferences, a familiar charac .eristic of
such meetings in this city is brought into
fresh prominence. The members are rarely
called TO order until ten or fifteen minutes
after the appointed time. Not infrequently
the delay Is greater. Similar hardness may
be observed In formally opening the pro-
ceedings of charitable and social organiza-
ton. and such laxity is not without its
drawbacks. Comment is confined here,
however. to the group of gatherings first
named, because a lack of punctuality
among scientific people. after a fashion,
inconsistent with that exactness of thought
and statement which the world expects
from them and on which they occasionally
pride themselves. Men who are trained to
precision in observation and utterance
might reasonably be expected to be excep-
tionally scrupulous In keeping engagements
Any shortcomings in this respect become
even more conspicuous when a comparison
is made with the promptness with which
bank directors meetings and church SER
vices begin. to say nothing of thea eers and
symphony concerts.
