Wealth in France.

All the holders of great fortunes in
France may easily be mentioned by
name. Only about 100 persons are
worth between 100000 and $10,00O,-
600, and $4,000 have accumulated or in
herited property valued at from $780,
900 to 1856, 900. That is, France has
very few rich citizens. This distribu-
ton of wealth in France is indicated
by the facts that in 1902 there was
left by persons dying property of the
value of 1921, 100000; but of the $685.
612 inheritances distributed in that
year more than 100000 consisted of
sums ranging from 20 cents to $3.50.
About two-thirds of the property to be
distributed was in sums of 5000 to
$500. The large inheritances, from
about $4,000 to 900, represented
less. than 0.04 per cent of the total
amount; and the property to be divid-
ed amounting to more than 500, 900
represented less than Dol per cent of
the total value.

The Decrease in Salt.

The latest government statistics
state that the United States produced
18,96S.0S9 barrels of salt during the
year 1903 This is the smallest output
since 1898, and shows that the use
of salt is decreasing says Success.
This is probably due to the recent dis
closures of eminent scientists that
people eat too much salt, that there is
sufficient natural salt in the water we
drink, in the air we breathe. and in
the fruits and vegetables we eat to
supply the human system. without
sprinkling it plentifully on every dish.
Many diseases are now traced to the
use of salt.

PROVES GREAT POWER
When Regular Medical Treatment
Failed, Dr.. Williams Pink Pills
Cured Her Rheumatism.

Hundreds of people afflicted with rheu-
matism have spent years under the care
of excellent physicians in vain Then
they have settled down to the conviction
that it is fastened on them for life. Mrs.
Dinsmore was not willing to join the
ranks of the hopeless merely because her,
doctor did not know how to help her..
Here is her story
. Four years ago I suffered greatly,
with rheumatism in my hands and
knees. After had been sitting while
my limbs seemed so heavy could hardly
walk on the first attempt. So long as
kept moving I was-an right, but just as
soon as stopped, something seemed to
settle in my knees and make them ache
My hands were SO bad couldn't touch
the palms of them on a fat surface; they
were swollen and panied So"
Ibid you call in a physician?"
81 I doctored steadily for over a year
then one doctor said: You have taken
medicine strong enough to kill almost
anything Still, it did not kill me nor
the rheumatism.
'' How, then, did you get rid of it? Pr
cat different times had read in vari-
Gus publications about DIR. Williams
wonderful Pink Pills for Pale People.
and 1 finally decided to try them. took
them steadily Tor four months IN ac-
cordance with the directions BY that
time was completely cured
''Have you been free from it ever
since?''
Since then have had but one slight
return of my trouble, and box or two of
the same pills made me all right again. -
Mrs. F. A. Dinsmore lives i'll hearty
enjoyment of her recovered health at
Woburn, Mass, entirely freed from the
grave anxieties that rheumatism always
brings. When it appears in but a single
joint it shows that the blood is in a faulty
state in the whole body. 1t may at any
moment break out elsewhere, and one Of
the dangers is that it may break out in
the heart and then the result must be
fatal. The only security is to keep the
blood all the time i'll a perfectly sound
condition.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills make healthy
blood. All other relief is superficial
This is thorough. These pills are sold
by all druggists.

said, on the best of authority, to hold
that view of the case.
1t is a question of time, but of
months, rather than years.
American officials and American ma
rines will inaugurate a reign of good
order and season of debt-paying in
the country.
They don't call it that in diplomatic
language, but the proposed order of
things in SantO Domingo seems to be
nothing more or less than a receiver
ship. 1t will be something brand new
in American history. The republic will
bear a relation to this country unlike
Porto Rico, which was annexed; I'M
like the Philippines, which were hitch
ed on behind, and unlike Cuba, which
is the object of a benevolent guardian
ship. Santo Domingo is to be regu-
lated. 1t is to be told to pay it's debts
and be good.
The plan is to place men in the
custom houses to collect the revenue
of the country.
They are to see that fair share of
this money goes to the creditors, and
that public officials, instead of looting
the public treasury, conduct the gov
eminent on an economical basis.
One custom house, that of Puerto
Plata, is now in the hands of an Amer
lean as result of arbitration, last
summer, over a claim of $5,OOO,OOO
owned by New Workers.
They advanced lot of money about
ten years ago and took a blanket mort
gage on the government.
The proceeds at Puerto Plata are be
| ing devoted to their claim.-New York

New York Woman's Splendid CoIlec-
tion of Rare Gems.
Mrs. Alfred Chaplin of New York is
believed to own the finest collection
of black diamonds in the country.
Most of Mrs. Chapin's sable gems
come from the province of Bahia, in
Brazil, and nearly all are of excep-
ticna1 beauty. They do not sparkle
like white diamonds nor, though
Opaque. are they as glossy as jet, but
they have a beauty of their own and
their rarity gives them additional
charm in the sight of the enthusiast.
Black diamonds are found chiefly in
the bed of the San Jose river. 1t was
there the first of them was discov-
cred in 1S5S-a stone of 10000 carats,
which to-day would be worth an enor-
nous sum of money, but which was
thrown back into the water because
the finders, who we're digging for
white diamonds, had no idea of its
value.

Commissioner Woodbury., of the New

tells this anecdote of a friend of his

across the grass at one place, but
was stopped by park policeman,
who demonstrated with him. What
difference does it maker" asked the
New Yorker; 1.-The grass is half dead,

purchased Lona-coveted Tree.

Elihu Root, lawyer, man OF aHalrs
and cabinet officer, was born in Cabi-
net hall, one of the buildings of Ham
ilton college, New York, where his
father was a professor In his boy
hood days he and his father took long
walks together, often passing a splen-
did hemlock tree which stood on the
Kirkland farm. More than once Prof.
Root said: ct wish 1 owned that tree"
In the years since then there have
been many changes at Hamilton and
in the country round about, but the
old hemlock has remained untouched,
and the other day Elihu Root bought
Kirkland farm and the tree which, he
declares, has long been landmark
in his life.

Cold Storage for Sweet Potatoes.

The ideal method of keeping seed
potatoes is claimed to be cold storage.
Potatoes thus kept at the Ohio station
have come out sound and fresh with
no indication of sprOuting and the vi
tally unimpaired, even SO late as the
1st of June. 1t is important, however,
that the cold storage room should not
fall below 35 degrees, nor should it
rise much above 40 degrees. When
cold storage is not available, sprouting
may be in some measure prevented by
shoveling the potatoes frequently.

Don't Feed ReckleSSly.

There are farmers who feed all ami
mails alike, without regard to the fact
that some will consume much more
than others. 1t has long been esti-
mated that half buShel of grain a day
will supply fifty sheep, in addition to
long food, but there is a great diff
ference in the breeds of sheep, and in
dividuals also differ. The only way to
feed is to closely observe the animals
md supply their wants without waste.
