Mrs. Frances Stafford, of 243 8.
Hath ST., NY. City, adds her tes-
timOny to the hundreds of thOu-
sands on Mrs. Pinkf1am'S files.
When Lydia E. Pinkham's Rene
dies were first introduced skeptics
all over the country frowned upon
their curative claims, but as year
after year has rolled, by and the
little group of women who had been
cured by the new discovery has
since grown into q vast army of
hundreds of thousands, doubts and
skepticisms have been swept away
as by a mighty food, until to-day
the great good that Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
and her other medicines are doing
among the women of America is
attracting the attention of many of
our leading scientists, physicians
and thinking people.
Merit alone could win such fame !;
wise, therefore, is the woman who
for cure relies upon Lydia r.
Pinkhan's Vegetable Compound.

Agricultural Chemistry.

The faculty of the agricultural col
lege attached to the University of
Wisconsin has been at work on a
preventative of oat smut They have
determined by careful investigation
that smut in oats is produced by fun
gus that exists in the seed, grows up
with the plant, and attacks the grow
ing grain. 1t is estimated that the
loss in the oat crop of Wisconsin
from this cause alone amounts to So
100000 year. The agricultural col
lege has taken up this matter and has
discovered that by treating the seed
with a chemical the spore of the
smut can be killed. and the cost is
only one cent bushel of seed treat
ed. No special knowledge is required
to handle it. This is only one of the
many and invaluable practical de-
auctions made from Investigations in
agricultural chemistry in our Ameri-
can agricultural colleges recently.
The editor of the Peoria Star. who ev-
identity produces oats as well as edi-
torials, is pleased with the prospect
of there being no more smut in the
former. (Of course there is never
any in his editorials). He saws that
the agricultural colleges are paying
their way twice over. Continuing, he
remarks that for n long time it was
difficult to get pupils to attend them
and take the course. When young
man went to college he thought he
must come out a professional man.
but by and by it dawned on the heads
of the young youth that farming was
quite as profitable and great deal
more independent than to be half
starved lawyer and struggle with the
criminal class in order to make a liy-
ing. When this idea became prevail
ent the agricultural colleges were fill
ed with students, and the profession
of farming has now become one of
the factors of civilization that de-
mandS all the resources of education
chemistry, botany, physiology. the
laws of heredity in the rearing of
stock, the crossing of breeds, the pro-
duction of grain. the cross fertiliza-
ton of corn. in order to produce fer
tile stalks and to increase the amount
Of starch. In short, there is hardly
field of scientific research that the
farmer does not now lay under con-
tribution, and when his crop is har-
vested he is obliged to study the mar
kets, to put himself in communion
ton with the worlds factors. the
lines of commerce and the laws of
supply and demand, and the great
storage depots where his product is
bought and sold and fought for and
gambled over. The farmer of today
is not a mere clod, but a man of re-
source and ability.

He Knew IT.

just after Senator Quay had to ac-
knowledge defeat in his fight for the
omnibus statehood bill he said: "Well,
there are some compensations: l don't
get my statehood bill. Aldrich won't
get his currency bill. Hanna won't
get his Panama canal treaty. Plat
and Lodge won't get their Cuban
treaty. All these members of the SEN
ate who have had SO much fun with
me will have to stay here for an eX-
ira session. As for me, I'm going to
Florida the day after congress ends,
and there l shall stay for the rest of
the spring. Sure enough, about the
time on Thursday that the senator's

begin the extra session of the senate
Mr.. Quay and his family were being

The boom for Gov. S. r. Van SAINT.
of Minnesota, fer the republican
nomination for the vice presidency
has taken settled and persistent
form which seems to promise sue
cess. 1t was at first thought that
Gov. Cummins. of Iowa, might have
aspirations, but it is understood that
he is looking forward to succeeding
Senator Allison when the latter shall
feel like retiring, and that therefore
both the Iowa and Minnesota delega-
lions can be calculated on as reason
ably solid for the Minnesota candi-
date. Gov. Van SAINT is a native of

Our Syrian Citizens.

There are Syrian quarters in New
York, Philadelphia, Boston, New Or
leans and San Francisco. The first.
where some 5000 Syrians, chiefly
from Beirut and Damascus, dwell, is
the largest, but the others are not in
considerable. They have churches,
schools, and places of amusement,
and the Arabic newspapers and mag
azines serve to interchange the news
and unite the interests of all. In New
York, which is the parent colony of
them all, books are published in Ara
bic. There is a band of musicians for
grand occasions; there are flourish
ing club, large revolutionary organ
ization, and many curious societies.
such as the Society for Peace the
aim of which is to settle the personal
differences between certain inf1uen-
tial men of New York and PhiIadeI-
phia. Many political offenders, refu-
gees from Turkey and Syria, reside
there, and from there spread the pro-
paganda of revolt. There is a famous
poet, whose work is praised in Cairo.
and who sits, day after day. in his
patrons shop, very busily at work
on his next book" Bhere are shops
where brass work and rugs and gor-
geous fabrics are displayed, and
many restaurant where a Syrian
dinner is well cooked and we'll served.
A generous hospitality may be found
everywhere, whether in the home of
the peddler or of the rich importer.
The welcome is genuine, and no sac
rifice too great if it contributes to
your pleasure.
