Hammer on Oneself Is Remedy.
DR.. T. w. Lauterborn of East Or
ange. y. j., has evolved new and
unique method of curing Il cold. says a
special dispatch from Orange, y. J.. to
the New York Press. He has RELOCATED
the old reliable whisky bottle and the
solacing quinine pill to the rear and
.employs q sledge hammer TO knock out
the snufles DIR. Lauterborn treasures
his patients, however, by allowing
them to ply the hammer themselves.
DR.. I.auterborn, who is a man of eX-
perlence. has figured it all out. and he
says that an ordinarily severe cold in
the head, throat or chest will cost the
unfortunate who has means and Il
faithful physician SD in money, ten
days in the house and considerable loss
of business besides much suffering.
Or. Lautcrborn says Il cold always
means a congested and stagnated cir

says his method OF correcting this is

Lillian BkauUeH to RecefUt
Half Million For Six Years
of Comic Opera.

Lillian Blauvelt, the grand opera
singer. has caused much comment by
reason of her recent contract with Fred
Whitney TO appear in comic opera. It
IS Il remarkable document indeed that
has bound the singer to Mr.. Whitney
for six years, and II is the direct result
of the financial success attending the
comic opera ventures of Schumann-
Heink and FRITZ SCheff.
1t is almost impossible to credit the
statement that Mime. Blauvelt will re-
ccive SJ0L0O0 for her six years work,
yet Mr.. Whitney solemnly avOws this
TO be the sum carried by the contract.
The total figures out at $1,000 a
week. which is Il rate exceptional even
in these days of reports Of stupendous
salaries Nine. Blauvelt Will first be
seen in The Rose OF the AIhambra,"
which is the work of Charles Emerson
Cook. the Belasco right hand man, and
LuciuS HOSmer.
No details of the work have been
given out, but il has been limited that
the story is exclusively romantic and
that the score will make more pretense
to artistic excellence than any yet
heard on the comic opera stage.

IN COLONEL's TOWN. Things Happen.

From the home of the famous "Keyh- nel Keeyartah of Carter5vile," away down South, comes an enthusiastic let- ter about Postum.
 T was in very delicate health, sur- fering from indigestion and a nervous trouble so severe that I could hards sleep. The doctor ordered me to dis continue the use of the old kind of cof- fee, which was like poison to me. pro- ducing such extreme disturbance that I could not control myself. But such was my love for 1t that I could not get my own consent to give 1t up for some time and continued to suffer. till my father one day brought home a package of Postum Food Coffee.
 q had the new food drink carefully prepared according to directions, and gave it fair trial. It proved to have a rich flavor and made healthy, whole- some and delightful drink. To my taste the addition of cream greatly im- proves IL.
 My health began to improve as soon as the drug effect of the old coffee was removed and the Postum Coffee had time to make its influence felt. My nervous troubles were speedily relieved and the sleep which the old coffee drove from my pillow always came to sootho and strengthen me after I had drunk Postum-in a very short time I began to sleep better than I had for years before have now used Postum Cof- fee for several years and like 1t better and find it more beneficial than when I first began. It Is an unspeakask. joy to be relieved of the old distress and sickness Name given by Postum Company. Battle Creek, Mich. There's reason.

Chinese Labor for Mexico.

Anent the idea of employing Chinese
 labor on farms. the success of an ex-
 pertinent in that direction now pro-
 ceeding In Mexico should mean much
 for the Southern States. ...:...
 The United States consul at Annoy.
 China. Geo. F. Anderson, writes to the
 Department of Commerce and Labor
 as follows on this interesting and i'm portant subject: The owners of certain plantations in Mexico. especially In Yucatan. seem to be making an effort to secure Chi nese labor for their establishments. s. Coming after an experience the Chi nese laborers had in this line about q year ago, the present offer of work has caused considerable excitement among some classes. According to an adver- tisement in q native paper, the Japa- nese now have charge of the work of enlisting men in this proposed agricultural army. The advertisement, as translated, says. among other things:
 About a year ago certain agricuI- tural concern In Mexico sent a special agent to Fuchan for the purpose of securing Chinese laborers, such labor CTS to take their families with them If necessary. They were to be shipped to Mexico to work on hemp plantations, but to do no other work. This enter prise had the consent of the governor of Yucatan, Mexico. but owing to the ignorance of Chinese law on the part of the agent. he undertook to issue an
 official proclamation himself. and son sequentIy his mission was brought to sudden end by the order of the Mexican consul The agriculturists of
 Mexico need labor just as badly now
 as year ago and have applied to the Cho Kiu Kan, emigration agents of Japan. for assistance Ev- erything set forth in this notice is en- titled to confidence. Incidentally 1t may be added that the treaty conclud- ed between China and Mexico provides for the free emigration of citizens of either country and for the mutual protection of such emigrants. Emi- grants take no risk whatever. It is
 understood that the foreign office in
 Fuchan has issued a proclamation on
 the subject, publishing all treaties and regulations relating thereto.
 The response to this proposition
 does not seem to have been as general from any part of this province as was
 hoped. but 1t Is probable that 1t will
 be general enough to make up @ fair
 sized shipment of coolies to Mexican territory. But there is no boom in

Horticultural Year Book.


 The division of publication of the Agricultural Department is now supp plying congressman with copies of the Year Book of the Department of Agriculture" Each congressman iD entitled to 913 copies. The Year Book Is in much demand among farmers. especially in recent years because of the publication.
 The nature and scope of the work io best given in the preface to the volume by George w. Hill, editor. It is as below:
 'The Year Book Is the leading pub- lication of the Department of Agricul- ture, and the present volume, 1904. ton valuable to the farmers of the country.
 As Part II of the Annual Report of the Secretary of Agriculture, its gen- eraI character is prescribed by the act providing for the public printing and binding and the distribution of public documents, approved January 1. 1885, which provides that it shall contain such reports from the different bureaus and divisions and such papers pre- pared by special agents. accompanied by suitable illustrations, as shall, in the opinion of the Secretary. be spe- eialiy suited to interest and instruct farmers of the country, and to include | a general report of the operations of the Department for their information" Compliance with the above law pre- cludes the possibility of any great va- riety In the general makeup of the Year Book, and will explain the De- partment's inability to consider some of the suggestions occasionally offered with a view to changing its character. ] even were 1t deemed advisable to do so.

 The number Of Chineses emigrants leaving Annoy this spring seems to be about as usual Something like 75.000 will go to Singapore and the Straits Settlements and between 5000 and 5000 to the Philippines. Ten thousand will probably go to Hongkong. Sai- gon and other ports. The money sent home by these emigrants is by far the Inrgest financial resource of the people of this district. -
