Consumption is a human weed fourishing best in weak lungs. Like other weeds it's easily destroyed while young; when old, sometimes i'm possible.
 Strengthen the lungs as you would weak land and the weeds will disappear.
 The best lung fertilizer is Scott's Emulsion. Salt pork Is good too, but 1t is very hard to digest.
 The time to treat consump- ton is when you begin trying to hide 1t from yourself. Others see it, you won't.
 Don't wait until you can't deceive yourself any longer. Begin with the first thought to take Scott's Emulsion. If 1t isn't really consumption so much the better; you will soon forget it and be better for the treatment. If it is consump- ton you can't expect to be cured at once, but if you will begin in time and will be rigidly regular ia your treat ment you will win.
 Scott's Emulsion, fresh air, rest all you can, eat all you can, that's the treatment and that's the best treatment.

 The price to be paid for the bonds IS 90 l-o, which is one-half of one per cen. above the minimum. Speyer & CO. oio was the only one made
 The Associated Press was informed that the National City Bank and She Kuhn. Loeb and Company syndicate withheld from bidding not only on account Of the uncertain monetary situation. but also or the uncertainty regarding what the Cuban Congress may do in the future In the way of paying off the balance of the soldiers claims. the total of which amounts to twice as much as the present joan will cover. tt

That the Prince of Wales has not given up his boyhood passion for stamp col Iecting is shown by the fact that at an auction the other day in London he paid the sum of $1.4OO for a single twopenny stamp of the Mauritius issue of 1S47. The history of this stamp Is somewhat re- naarkable. It remained hidden away in q forgotten schooIboy collection of oth- erwise very ordinary stamps made half a century ago. and was left on the book shelves of the collector, a bank clerk of

Unequal Marriages.

The matter of environment is one that largely affects married happiness Take
 the young girl who has been accustomed to all the comforts that q liberal purse permits. She marries a man whose en. tire salary is less than her pin money had been. She enters a home where comfort is necessarily restricted. She is obliged to perform unaccustomed tasks and live a life of constant self denial. At first, when the glamour of the honey- moon still glids the way, she does not complain. But after a time these duties pail upon her, and, despite the love she bear for her husband, she may grow fretful and cold. From the standpoint of rigid discipline she should arise above the trials imposed by her arduous duties. If her love has been of the proper sort she should only grow more tender with the passing years. But the close observ- CT will have noted that human natnre rs- mains ever the same, whether In inc married state Or single. Perfection un- der. trials is possible. but 1t is not gen eraI
 From common sense point of view A marriage contract is not unlike any oth- CT partnership. The members of a busi- ness nrm are equally affected by the same conditions. Whatever interferes with the success of one necessarily affects the success of the other Sd lone as they remain together it is impossible to divide their interests. Whatever threat ems the existence of the partnershin must be met and discussed with eduaninnIts [ it is to be continued Together they must face the trials If they are to enjoy success. S'O'

EARTH'S MOVEMENTS
CAMILLE FLAMMARIoN DIs-
 CUSSES NEW DISCOVERIES.
Tells Something of che New Motions of the Earth as Result of New
 Methods of obser- E vation.

Camille Flammarion in Detroit Free
 Press.
 | With the aid of the splendid astronom- tronomef has just discovered twelfth movement of the earth
 This newly discovered movement con- sists in an oscillation of the terrestric pole around an average position. an os- cillation, which at the same time is pe- riodical and irregular, which takes for It's completion a space of about thir- teen months, and which constantly changes. the latitude of every place on the surface of the earth. The extreme end of the axis of the earth, the pole, de- scribes curve around a certain cen- tral position. It has long been thought that an oscillation os this kind existed but 1t has now been accurately meas- ured by number if special observnto- ries In the same latitude (39 degrees north(. provided with special instruments that the oscillations amounted to six tenths of a second in 1890, hve-tenths in lSg2, four-tenths in 1893. three-tenths in 1881 and 1895, four in 1896 and 1897, five in 1898. four in 1ss9. two in 1900 and 1901. and three in 1902 and four in 1903.
 Now, what does one-tenth of a second or the circumference of the earth mean in the polar region?
 One degree of the meridian circle rep- resents a length of 1l1,707 meters one minute of the same circle therefore rep. resents ,S62 meters and one second S1 HeteTs' consequently one-tenth Of a second is equal to 31o meters, and the os cillation therefore amounts to between 6 and IS meters.
 This is of course very small move ment, but 1t exists nevertheless, and shows us that even if our planet has a weight of 5,957 sextillions of kilos or in figures 6,957 900 900, ,C90 00o. 900, 900 900 kilo- grams, 1t is nothing but a playbau for the great cosmic forces.
 To get an exact idea of the size of ana circular degree one might take a round table with circumference of meters and 60 centimeters. One degree would knen n pc exactly one centimeter long seen :, This table will be found to have a diameter of l meter. lf centimeters. and l degree Is accordingly centimeter seen at distance of b7 centimeters, or 1 me- ter at a distances of 57 meters. or A man of l meter 70 centimeters at a distanca or 97 meters, or a tree of 15 meters al a, distance of S55 meters, or the Eiffel tow-
