The Lost Summer.

Last summer the country shiNereu
through the months that are commonly
reserved for sweltering. but WAS
cheered by the hope and promise that
in 1904 the account would be squared
Then last winter proved to be almost
intolerable in it's severity, breaking all
the records for low temperature whlch
the oldest inhabitant had been able 10
keep in mind or think up for the &C.
casion; but during the winter also
people tried to keep cheerful with the
hope that the coming summer would
be warm enough to make up for it. Yet
the spring that followed was proper
tionally as cold and as disagreeabie.
April and May were very backward
months and now we have reached the
middle Of June without having seen
single day of what we commonly call
summer weather. 1t is probably early
yet to give Up to encouragement ana
conclude that the summer will De
failure as a summer, but considering
the experience of a year ago, humanity
has excuse for an OCCASIONAL feeling OF
foreboding in the matter.
Doubtless a cool spring and summer
have their compensations in many
ways, bat for a great many classes
hot summer means increased pros
perity, though it may mean Increased
discomfort for the masses in the great
cities. There is probably some good
reason why the weather man is giving
the world such q cold shoulder OF late,
and considering that he usually evens
things up in the long run it Is not
unreasonable to keep on hoping that
before fall comes he will relent and give
us some days of real summer weather.
when men will sweat and simmer and
stew and broil and blister under the
concentrated, calorfic rays of merci-
less sun, and then how everybody will
long for the cool days that we are now
complaining about. 1t is an impossible
task for the weather man to suit every
body, but most of US would like a real
hot summer day or two, just so we may
appreciate the cool weather which we
have had thus far, and which we should
then most vigorously long for.

CURED there. With the introduction OF
Hostetter':s Stomach Bitters, over hfty
years ago, a new phase in curing stomach
ills was presented. and during those years
it has demonstrated its wonderful curative
powers so conclusively that it is now rec

The other day a Bostonian anxious to
see the sights of the world wandered
over to New York and there made the
discovery-amazing and incompre-
hensihle to him-that the doors of the
public library of the nations metropolis
are closed at five p. NJ. daily. After
that hour no person is admitted. and
so the public libraries of New York are
of little benefit to the professional men
and laborers of the city. who are busy
in the daytime. AS result Of his dis
covery, which seems to have astonished
New Workers as well as Bostonians, q
reform is now being agitated and it is
probable that at least thee referenc,
room Of the public libraries will be open
until or 10 p. NJ. as they are in
practically every city of the country.
An Institution like a public library has
its greatest usefulness during the even
ing hours. and just how New York has
been able to get along with its libraries
closed after that time will puzzle almost
everybody. as it did the Boston
traveller.

The lenoth of the War.

The general prophecy has been that
the war between Japan and Russia
would prove to be short one, on the
theory that neither country could
stand the expense and the enormous
losses which have marked the opening
months of the contest. This may
prove to be the case, but an English
magazine. drawing some interesting
comparisons from history. takes a
more doubtful view Of the situation in
the Far East and prophesies a very
protracted struggle. 1t recalls the long
war, or series of wars, between Eng
land ard Napoleon, over a century ago.
lation of Great Britain and Ireland
WAS not more than 15.000.0O0 or 16.0O0,-
600. while that Of Japan today is nearly
20. 900 900. In 1894 the exports from the
United Kingdom aggregated $S0.0OO.O0O.
Those of Japan in 1902 were valued at
1927. 900, 900. In 1898 the national debt
Of Great Britain was $1,000, 10000 In
1903 that of Japan was about s27O,OO0,-
OoO. The war between England and
Napoleon lasted for about twenty-five
years. AT the beginning England had
numerous allies, but one by one they
were conquered by Napoleon, and for
a time she stood alone. During the
conflict she maintained in arms. in
GLIDING the auxiliary forces and the
navy, about q million men. So heavy
We're her expenses that she ran up Z
debt of over $4,000, 100000.
The question is: If England. with Il
smaller population and trade than
Japan has. was able to keep up the
fight against such an adversary as
Napoleon for twenty-five years. how
long should Japan be able to stand the
cost of a war with Russia? England
had the command of the sea. She
could send her manufacturers to all
ports that were open to them. Japan
mas the command Oh tNe Sed Ut tIlS
time. and her considerable trade can
not be interfered with. She has Il
powerful mercantile marine, varied
manufactures, and considerable
mineral wealth. Four years ago her
factories employed over $500 work
people.
The same magazine points to the
stubborn contest waged by the Beers
in South Africa, who held out against
overwhelming odds for two and one
half years. Just as they fought Eng
| land to a standstill, so did England
PROVE to be equally stubborn and I'M
yielding and fight Napoleon to the end.
Now the question comes up if the
japanese have the staying powers of
| the English and Beers in the wars re-
| ferred to, how long will they keep up
the fight against a great empire like
Russia. regardless of the loss of life or
| accumulation of a vast national debt :?
1t seems as though they might keep up
such struggle almost indefinitely un-
| less Russia-and here comes the
doubtful feature such a probability
soon acknowledges its defeat or ac-
cepts mediation from a friendly power

average production of cotton per an

lated at 500 pounds to the bale; the

Diminished Vitality,

Some people talk very flippantly
about diminished vitality.
They don't stop to think that vitality
is, the principle of life-that it is that
little understood something on which
every function of their bodies depends.
Diminished vitality is early indicated
by loss of appetite, strength and endur-
ance, and Hoods Sarsaparilla is the
