Biggest Harvester in the World.

Last year there was in operation in
San Fernando Valley of California the
largest combined harvester in the world.
1t consisted of a traction engine capable
of hauling seventy-fve tons and which
takes the place of sixty horses; a header
or moving machine which cuts thirty
six foot swath. and complete threshing
machine. The header and thresning ma
chine are run by a separate thirty-horse-
power engine getting its steam from the
same boiler as the threshing engine
The drive wheels of this monster trac-
ton engine are eight feet in diameter,
with tires forty-eight inches wide on
which are ridges an inch and half high
II can average three and a half miles an
hour in good grain. The tnresher has a
capacity of loo acres day Eight men
are employed on the thresher. The grain
is threshed clean and finally carried to a
bin from which il is sacked. When
twelve sacks have been filled they are al
lowed TO slide off the cart TO the ground
This huge machine will work equally
well on level or billy country, having
sufficient power to take a 20 per cent
grade without difficulty. 1t is siXty-siX
feet long half as wide, and weighs more
than 100 tons. Oil is used as fuel. This
harvester has been successfully used for
Smelling peas and beans as well as grain.
1t is purely a Californian production

The Circus.

The circus is more than an amusement
enterprise, although the American leader
leads the world in that regard; II is
more than a great business proposition,
although its equipment and maintenance
call for large capitalization and the high
est order of administrative ability. 1t is
an educational institution of wide useful
ness. II gives us natural history almost
at first hand with its herds and dens of
animals from all chimes; ii shows us
physical culture raised to its highest
power with its trained gymnasts; it af-
fords us a chance for both clinical and
ethical study with its abnormalities and
curiosities. In short, it embraces about
all there is of life. There is a good deal
of joking about adults borrowing their
neighbors' children in order TO get an eX-
cuse to go TO the circus. But, really, no
body needs any excuse for going to the
circus. The circus itself is excuse
enough. Let's all go.-[Concord Monitor.

The New Pope.

Upon the seventh ballot the college or
cardinals has contaminated an act OF
Hateful import. 1t has elected new
pope who elects to reign as Plus y, Car
dinal Sarto Patriarch of Venice, is its
choice, and so far as the world knows
him or of him We think it will be dis
posed to acknowledge the choice wise
one. He is just the age of Cardinal Pecci
when he was raised to the exalted dig
nifty of the papacy. Personally he has
been a favorite among his colleagues,
while his popularity in his own Venice
is unbounded. He was the candidate OF
the Italian party and is as distinguished
for his graoiousness and kindness as a
man as for his profound churchly attain
ments. He apparently possesses tact
and the fact that he has always been a
peacemaker in the church warrants the
expectation that he will be a worthy
successor of Leo XIII in his efforts to
promote =. the peace of the world. The
papacy will still be Italian in personnel
and influence, but the prospect is that it
will be Italian in the larger sense and
less Roman.

Giving the Maple Sugar Industry 6
Black-Eye.
[St. Adams Messenger

1t is all right, of course, for Vermont
maple sugar makers to rejoice that the
pure food law now affords their product
long needed protection against the maple
sugar adulterators outside the state, but
there is an evil right at home to be
dealt with, too. That is the practice of
intermiXing graduated sugar with the
syrup in order to give body and white
ness to the alleged maple product. Bar
rels of graduated sugar have been sold
in this very city every spring to maple
sugar makers roundabout who used IT
for this very purpose. The rascals who
do this kind of business are not only
playing a dishonest trick on their GUS
toners, but they are just short-sighted
enough to grasp for a few pennies now
without thinking that they are helping
TO give Vermont maple sugar black eye
everywhere their miserable fraud is de-
tected.

Catarrh Cured.
All phases of catarrh, acute or chronic,
are promptly and permanently cured.
1t is through its operation upon the ner-
vous system that Peruna has attained
such worldwide reputation as a sure
and reliable remedy for all phases Of
tatarrh wherever located.
Mr.. Jas. o. NORM, 1179 Ontario street

Peruna is certainly great catarrh
remedy. 1t cured me of catarrh of the
head and gladly indorse it. Canadians
are peculiarly afflicted with this disease
and for years the doctors have tried to
overcome it with elixirs, powders and
pills, but Peruna has solved the question
and since the medicine has been estab-
lished here hundreds of people have
been cured of catarrh. "-Jas. o. NORM.
If you do not derive prompt and salts
