DAYS follow each other In quick sue
cessjon. AS the Old Style calendar
brings December 25 two weeks after
the same day New Style, two Christ
masses, the first Latin and the second
Greek, are inevitable, and as stormy
weather kept delegation OF Armen-
ians from attending an ecumenlcal
council at Chalcedon in 451, at which
council the date of Christmas was
changed from January to December

The official money Of Cuba is the

cial money is Spanish coin, Cuba hav-
ing no money of her own coinage.
United States currency is always at
premium over Spanish gold, but this
premium fuctuates. according to the
demand for Spanish gold or silver.
During the year ending June 30, 1904,
the American dollar was on an average,
equivalent to $1.09 in Spanish gold, or
$13S Spanish silver, the fluctuation
being from s1.1oB to LOSE in gold.
and from SLAP to S1.35 in silver.

to convict on bloodhound evidence

M. Molliard, French savant, has
discovered process for converting
radishes into potatoes by feeding them
on glucose. Which proves that glu-
cose is excellent food-for radishes.
A professor in an agricultural coll
lege had a hobby. He believed and
cached on all occasions that the food
of animals should be cooked, just like
that Of human beings. One day while
out driving he passed farm, the own

''In my opinion Chamberladn's Cough
Remedy is the best made for colds"
saws Mrs. Cora Walker; of Porterville.
Cal. There Is no doubt about dts be-
ing the best. No other will cure cold
so quickly. No other is SO sure a
preventive of pneumonia. No other Is
so pleasant and safe to take. These
are good reasons why 1t should be pre-
ferred to any other. The fact Is that
few people are satisfied with any 9TH
err after having once used this remedy.

been the principal sufferer from
the rains. other crops have suf.
fered also, and would be the
better for some weeks of really
good weather. Even the rice
crop, which required an alum
dance of water, would be the
better for more sunshine. The
irrigation problem has, it is true,
been simplified this season, but
something more than irrigation
is needed to make a crop.
The sugar cane crop continues
to make good progress and
promises well. 1t is true that
too frequent rains have inter-
fered with efficient cultivation
in many portions of the sugar
belt, and field work is conse-
quently backward, and crops on
many plantations which should
have been laid by weeks ago
still need some work. Aside
from that feature, however,
everything looks promising, and
with ordinary conditions from
now until the advent of the
harvest season a large crop
seems assured.

way more room is made for the
white immigrants, and when
these shall come to the South as
they have heretofore 1iOcked to
the Northern States, and as
they are sure to do in time, the
movement of the negroes north
ward will be increased and
accelerated accordingly.
The solution of the race prob
lem is the distribution and diffu-
sion of the negroes through the
Northern States, where their
relation to the population around
them will prevent all possibility
of negro domination. In such a
condition alone is a peaceful set
Element of the race question, and
it will be settled by the natural
and invincible laws of political
and industrial economics. The
negro can and does underworld
the whites in many fields of
labor; and this fact will make a
large demand for his labor
among the great industrial
trusts of the Northern States.
In the labor strike which has
been in progress in Chicago for
some time, one of the very first
resorts by the employers was to
bring negroes from the South
ern States.
When the negroes shall be
diffused to the number of mil
lions in the Northern States the

peared.

One Dollar Saved Represents Ten
Dollars Earned.

The average man does not save to
exceed ten per cent of his earnings.
He must spend nine dollars in living
expenses for every dollar saved.
That being the case he cannot be too
careful about unnecessary expenses.
Very often a few cents properly in
vested. like buying seeds for his
garden, will save several dollars
outlay later on. 1t is the same in
buying Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and DiarrhOea Remedy. 1t cost but
a few cents, and a bottle of it in the
house often saves q doctors bill of
several dollars. For sale by all

The Weather and the Crops.
Picsyune.
Crop reports from the Cotton
Belt continue to be of an un.
favorable character, although the
weather has undoubtedly i'm
proved during the past week.
While due allowance must be
made for a pessimism which en-
hances the value of the staple,
there seems to be good reason
to believe that a considerable
proportion of the unfavorable
reports are well founded. The
scandal connected with the re-
ports of the Agricultural De-
partment has naturally greatly
shaken confidence in the Govern
ment statements, unreliable as
such reports were at the best,
and there is q growing sentiment
in favor of the abandonment of
the reports altogether unless
they can be made more accurate,
and unless the cotton trade can
be assured that the reports are
honestly handled and not
d~octored to meet the views of
SPECTATORS
While the weather has been
comparatively fair over the
greater portion of the belt dur
ing most of the past week. some
districts have suffered from an
excess of rain, and the fair
weather will have to continue
longer to permit of the crop
beneiting to an extent that
would warrant a change in the
pessimistic views now current.
No matter how high prices may
advance as the result of a poor
crop, those farmers and planters
who have lost their crops or the
greater portion of them, will
reap none of the benefits. A
short crop would therefore, not
be an unmixed blessing, espe-
