SUGAR CANE IN MEDEIRA.
FUNCHAL.

Sugar cane was first introduced In
Madeira by Fargo about 1925, and sub.
sequently was transplanted to the
West Indies, where its extensive culti-
walton has produced so much wealth.
Cane growing retrograded in Madeira
owing to carelessness and the destruc-
tion by a grub. Vineyards and wine
making became the industry, which
in turn was almost ruined for a time
by fungus. Sugar-cane planting was
resumed, and to-day is a steady indus.

island. The tenant system in vogue,
however, reduces the acreage produc-
ton about one-half.
On a given space of 25 acres, on
which I have obtained reliable stats
tics, with the cultivation of the crop
by the landlord himself, the cost of
culture, manure, water etc, amounts
to 1892. For the sale of young plants
and the yield of crop-40,500 kllos
(kilos equal % pounds) at so cents
per 80 kilos-the returns are $3.50,
leaving a profit OF $35S The tenant
system brings the production down
to about 1000 kilos on 2.5 acres.
The method of refining sugar by
Hinton &S Sons, of F'unchal, is the sue

the extraction of beet juice applied to
cane, practically minimizing the per-

of double crushing to an irreducible

after the juice has been extracted by
crushing, it is concentrated by evap-

CAMPAIGN IN IVTWYORN
Candidates Hughes and Hearst Are
Doing Some Tall Hustiing to
Secure Votes

Elmira, n. Y.-William r. Hearst
on Friday formally accepted
the democratic nomination for gov
ernor of New York state in letter
addressed to w. j. Corners, chairman
of the democratic state committee.
Before large audience Mr.. Hearst
spoke last evening in the Lyceum the
atre and then left for Ithaca, where
he was scheduled to speak.
The theatre where last nights
meeting was held had been engaged
and billed for a musical comedy, but
Mr. Hearst bought out the comedy
company's claim, paying, it is said, a
bonus of 5000. The theatre was
packed to suffocation half an hour be-
fore the time for the meeting to be-
gin and large and vociferous crowd
filled the two streets in front and on
the sides of the theatre.
A feature of the speech was what
most of his hearers took to be re-
pudiation of the support of ex-Mayor
Van Wyck. of New York City. When
he said: II do not want the support
of any ice trust mayor" hearty ap-
plause greeted this sally, as did also
his declaration that if any lackey Of
the trusts has not yet departed from
our purified party let him speak up
and | will help him to go speedily if
not gracefully"
Seneca Falls, N. Yin speeches
delivered on Friday in Yates
and Seneca counties, Charles e.
Hughes, the republican candidate for
governor, took up and answered the
assertion made by w. r. Hearst at
Corning Thursday night to the effect
that the net result of the life insur-
ance investigation as conducted by
Mr. Hughes was the substitution in
the Equitable Life Assurance Society
of Ruthless Ryan for harmless
Hyde" Mr.. Hughes declared his op-
ponent was insincere in making such
a statement and could not fool the
people"
He pointed out that the Ryan pur-
chase of the Hyde stock was made be-
fore an investigation was ever or
dered, and naturally before he had
anything to do with the subject. Mr.
Hughes repeated his charges of in
sincerity against Mr.. Hearst. This
has been the keynote of all his later
utterances

Exper. with Cow and Arrow.

Nero Perry an old Chickasaw freed.
man, who lives on Caddo creek, in the
Chickasaw nation, supports himself
by hunting game with bow and
arrow. Though 76 years old. he can
send an arrow into a squirrel in the
tallest tree. Perry went to the
Chickasaw country in 1898 from Mis-
sissippi with Jim McLish, his old mas
ter. They settled on the banks of
the Caddo creek, where they built
the first house erected in the Chick
asaw nation. Here they lived until
1861, when McLish died, then the
old place reverted to Perry. and there
he still lives.

WORLDS WOOD SUPPLY.

JIM
The demand for wood instead of
diminishing, as was expected, when
coal came in as substitute, has gone
on increasing until the question of a
continued supply to meet the present
rapidly increasing rate of consumption
is very serious problem.
The coal mines of Belgium called
for 1,742,74 square yards of wood for
the various purposes to which wood
is put in mines in 1903. Each year a
renewal of old supports is taking
place, and new ones are being put into
new galleries. Railroads eat up enor-
nous quantities of wood in cross ties
Add to these wood for excelsior, or
wood-wool newspapers, bags, etc, and
one will have tons running into the
millions each year.
North America, Siberia. Africa, In
dia. China, Korea and South America
still contain great unutilized and al
most unknown forests. Nevertheless,
it would be well not to exaggerate the
dimensions of these wood supplies.
Many African forests are really com
posed of nothing better than thin
bushes, and Siberia is already being
Systematically subjected to deforest.
ing, which will also begin in Korea
in the near future.
North America, however, once the
possible wood storehouse for the
world, has not enough wood to sup.
ply its own demand Notwithstanding
its SOC, ,555,000 acres of wooded area
Even now it is dependent upon Can.
ada, which, with its 798, 1873 900 acres
of forests, represents probably the
largest single area of any country in
the world Canada sends it's entire
surplus to the United States. AL.
though large territories of forests, es.
pecially in China, Korea, India and
South America remain to be utilized,
it is certain that the question of the
future wood supply of the world, now
attracting the attention of economists,
will continue to excite great interest
The continuation of the present wood
consumption, without comprehensive
reforesting, will, within a century at
the latest, result in a great and very
important scarcity of the wood supply

HAT MAKING IN ITALY.
NAPLES, ITALY.

Hat making in Italy is increasing
steadily.
The expectation of straw hats is an
important item in Italy's foreign trade
balance. OF late years the manufac-
ture of wool and felt hats not only
covered the home consumption, but
contributed to Italian exports. The
finest hair hats are made in Alessan-
dria and in Intra, on Lake Maggiore.
Midium quality felt hats are made in
Bella, ChiavazZa, Andorno, Sagliano.
Micca and Tarigliano.
The town of Monza is the chief CEN
ter for the manufacture of woolen
hats. Here Ia factories were formed
into a syndicate or trust which en-
ploys about 1000 operatives or the
Monza production, about $1,3O0,OO0
worth is annually exported, the chief
customers being Roumania, Austria
Hungary and Switzerland. The daily
production of MonZa averages 10000
hats. Factories manufacturing fine
hats, composed of hair, for export
trade, are in various cities The
straw hat manufactures of Tuscany
employing about $4,000 operatives, ex-
port to foreign countries over $1,000
900 in value. Most of these hats
go to the United States. The town
Iand vicinity of Carpi, in the province
OF Emilia, also manufacture straw

premacy. Brown was at his best. He
showed nerve, speed, control and in
telligence. He gave only two passes
and allowed only two hits. He held
the Americans hitless until the sixth
inning, when, with two out, Hahn hit
clearly to center. Jones, however,
promptly ended the inning by flying
out to Schultz
The Nationals earned the run
which won the game. Chance sent a
fly to short right field and reached
third on sacrifices by Steinfeldt and

restore the family fortune. They
argued that the medicine which was
so good for their woman friends and
neIghbors was equally good for the
women of the whole world.
The Pinkhams had no money, and
little credit Their first laboratory
was the kitchen, where roots and
herbs were STEPPED on the stove,
gradually filling gross of bottles.
Then came the question of selling
it, for always before they had given
| it away freely. They hired a job
printer to run off some pamphlets
setting forth the merits of the medi-
cine, now called Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, and these were
distributed by the Pinkham, sons in
Boston, New York, and Brooklyn.
The wonderful curative properties Of
the medicine were, to a great extent,
self-advertising, for whoever used il
recommended it to others, and the de.
mand gradually increased.
In 1877, by combined efforts the fam.
lily had saved enough money to COM
mence newspaper advertising and from
that time the growth and success OF
the enterprise were assured, until to-
day Lydia e. Pinkham and her Vege.
table Compound have become house.
hold words everywhere, and many
tons of roots and herbs are used annu.
ally in its manufacture.
Lydia e. Pinkham herself did not
live to see the great success of this
work. She passed to her reward years
ago, but not till she had provided
means for continuing her work as
effectively as she could have done it
herself.
During her long and eventful expe.
rience she was ever methodical in her
work and she was always careful to pre-
serve record of every case that came to
her attention. The case of every sick
woman who applied to her for advice
and there were thousands-received
careful study. and the details, includ-
ing symptoms. treatment and results
were recorded for future reference, and
to-day these records, together with
hundreds of thousands made since, are
available to sick women the world
over, and represent vast collabora-
tion of information regarding the
treatment of woman's ills, which for
authenticity and accuracy can hardly
be equaled in any library in the
world.
With Lydia E. Pinkham worked her
daughter in law, the present Mrs.
Pinllham. She was carefully instructed
in all her hard-won knowledge, and
for years she assisted her in her vast
correspondence.
To her hands naturally fell the
direction of the work when it's, origina-
tor passed away. For nearly twenty
five years she has continued it, and
nothing in the work shows when the
first Lydia E. Pinkham dropped her
pen, and the present Mrs. Pinkham,
now the mother of large family, took
it up. With women assistants, some as
capable as herself, the present Mrs.
PinlSham continues this great work, and
probably from the Office of no other
person have so many women been adj
vised how to regain health. Sick wo-
men, this advice is "Yours for Health"
freely given if you only write to ask
for it.
Such is the history of Lydia e. Pink
