"'No shade, no shine, no fruit, no

Americans would add no freedom
from catarrh, which is so aggravated
during this month that it becomes
constantly troublesome, There is
abundant proof that catarrh is a con-
stltutional disease. 1t is related to
scrofula and consumption, being one
Of the wasting diseases. Hoods Sar-
saparilla has shown that what is
capable of eradicating scrofula, COM
pletely cures catarrh, and taken in
time prevents consumption. We can
not see how any sufferer can put OF

Impoverished soil, like impov-

fertilizer. A chemist by analyz-
ing the soil can tell you what
fertilizer to use for different
products.
If your blood is impoverished
your doctor will tell you what
you need to fertilize it and give
it the rich, red corpuscles that
are lacking in it. 1t may be you
need tonic, but more likely you
need n concentrated fat food,
and fat is the element lacking
in your system.

THOSE "eooD OLD DAYS.

The old timers still refer to the
days of their youth as the ''good old
days''-the golden era of all the ages.
In those ''good old days. there
were no railroad wrecks for the5very
good reason that there we're no rail-
road trains. Travel was generally
performed in twO-hOrse wagons,
which were built good and strong
with no danger of a break down.
They did not go at the rate of forty
miles an hour but more often logged
along at the rate of forty miles
week, which gave the traveller plenty
of time to s'look the landscape o'er.'
The mails came and went as often
as once week, which was quite Of
ten enough. Life was so blissful that
the ordinary person did not care to
know what the balance of the world
was doing. In fact what the balance
of the world was not doing very
much that anyone cared to know
about. The young people did not
lie in bed until ten o'clock in the
morning but were up before the
sun and were kept busy until dark
and did the chores at night. As
soon as the work was done athey
went to bed and as they had soft
beds and clean consciences had no
trouble in sleeping.
The women wore no corsets or
bustles. They were the same size
from one end to the other. The wo-
mems dresses were made from the
wool that grew on the sheep in their
own pasture. The dress was but
toned up behind and did not take
yards to make it. The bonnet was
made of calico. They wore no two
acre hats in those days Their shoes
were made by the country shoemaker
and were some account. The soles
were half an inch thick In those
days women wore stockings made of
wool. Nowadays they wear hose.
In those days nobody wore under
wear. 1t seems to US wonder they
did not freeze to death. but they did
| not and were harder and stronger
| than now.
AS late as 1884 one of the leading
| railroads of the United States had
printed on its time card the follow
| ing: 1.-THE locomotive will leave the
| depot every morning at ten O'Clock
| if the weather Is fair
When Benjamin Franklin first
thought of establishing a newspaper
in Philadelphia his friends advised
him against it as there was one al
| ready being printed in Boston and
they did not think the country could
! support two newspapers. Ocala now
supports two or three.
When Thomas Jefferson was cleo
ted president of the United States in
a most exciting political campaign,
it was nearly two months before he
knew that he was elected.
During the days of our revolution
airy heroes two stage coaches and
eight horses sufficed for all the COM
merce that was carried on between
New York and Boston and in the
winter the journey occupied full
week.
1t was nearly two days before the
news of Washington's death was re-
ceived at Washington from Mount
Vernon
Those were ''good old days" but
the generation of today would not
think so.

One of the most remarkable discov

Of a lake of liquid soda In the mac

have collected to a depth Of eighteen
inches, the whole lake having the ap-
pearance of q body of ice with 4 hard

crystals are 81 per cent pure soda,
purer than most Of the commercial

He Il Said to Have Made Thsm Chiefly
by Lending Money.
How much ID Russell Sage worth J"
Many bankers and stockholders in
Wall street have been asking one an
other this question, says the New
York World, for, naturally, the accu-
mutation Of money most deeply inter-
ests them.
The question was provoked by the
report that Mr.. Sage's lawyers are
winding up his Affairs and that the
dean Of the street, who is 80 years
old and whose health Is not the best,
will retire from business absolutely as
soon as he can.
The answers to the question varied
greatly. The few who have some &C.
quaintance with the veterans fnan-
cial affairs fixed his fortune as $25,-
100000; most estimated it at twice
that amount; many guessed" that he
had piled up $1OO,O0O.OOO. All agreed
that Russell Sage can, at shorter no
tice, lay his hand on more ready cash
than any man in this country, barring
John D.. Rockefeller.
mo man in America has been more
secretive nor more reliant in business
than Russell Sage. He has never had
a partner in the street, he has worked
there single-handed and with both
hands, save for the aid Of clerks and
other subordinates. He has never
practiced the modern high finance;
1t is doubtful II he knows much about
It He has made money breed money
and he alone has been shepherd OF his
flock with the golden feeces.
His fortune is the fruit OF the pro
foundest prudence, the EXTREMIST
thrift. He has been fortunate in his
investments because he has always
made sure of their value before In
vesting. He has never taken risk
when he lent money and he has done
little except lend money for the last
ten years. Always, especially IN pan
icky times, he has received high rates
Of interest.
"Yet I am as certain as any man
can be that when Mr.. Sage's estate IL
settled up and his securities are real
lied on there will be not more than
$25, 100000"
So said a banker yesterday who
knows as much as any man OF Mr..
Sage's affairs.
"Mr. Sage has been arranging to re-
tire from business for two years or
more" he continued. HE yielded then
to the opportunities of Mrs. Sage and
Of DR.. Mum, his physician, to pass
the winter of his life away from Wall
street When Mr.. Sage came here
from Troy, after serving two terms in
Congress from Rensselaer, county, he
had enough money to start'a broker
age business. He made a speciality Of
puts and calls and 30 successful
was he that I know Of one year In
which he did a business Of $26 O0O, 600
and came out 100000 ahead.
But that does not mean that he
made fabulous fortune. A man who
took the chances he did In puts and
calls stood to lose almost a. much
as he made. It was not until about
ten years ago that Mr.. Sage gave him.
self up to money lending entirely. He
took nothing but gilt-edgs securities
and though he rarely lost his fortune
did not grow with leaps and bounds.
Il have heard him say lately he IL
worth scarcely $25,0Q0.O 600. He has
been exacting in money matters, but
Mrs. Sage has given away great sums
