HIGH TIDE OF PROSPERITY.
The Country Never Before SO Pross
porous as 1t liz To-day.

The Country Never Before So Pross
porous as 1t Ia To-day.
Never before in all the countrys his
tory has it been so prosperous as it is
at the opening of 1906 says Leslie's
Weekly. The products of its farms for
1905 amounted to over $6,OO0,O0O 900.
This is not only several times larger
than the products of any other country,
but it marks gain of $3.50, 10000 over
the highest previous record in the United
States, which was for 1904. The yield
of the country's farms in 1905 equaled
the country's aggregate wealth Of all
sorts for 1915. The country's gold mines
furnished $90,000,000 for 1905, which
was S10000,000 in excess of the largest
previous year, and double the output of
1895. Its mineral products of all sorts
for the year aggregated $1,S00000,0 900,
which is twice that of 1899 and four
times that of 1856. In gold production
in 1905 we ltd the world, except the
Rand, in South Africa. In mineral out
put in the aggregate we exceed that of
Great Britain, Germany and France.
For 1905 the country's foreign trade
passed the $2,5o000o,000 mark for the
first time, but our domestic trade was
UNNECESSARILY in excess of this, being
far above $20000,000 We produced
22,500,000 tons of pig iron in the year,
or as much as our three nearest COM
petitors .combined-Great Britain, Ger
many and France. In manufactures, in
which we have had a precedence over
England since 1880, and have been in
crea sing orr lead ever since tbe conn
try has been particularly active in the
year. The country's railroads, which
exceed those of all Europe in mileage by
about % per cent, have been scoring new
records in earnings and activity. More
than $3,500.000,OO0 has been added to
the wealth of the United States since
Jan. ], 1905, bringing the total up to
SIP ,O00,0 100000, which exceeds that Of
any other two countries in the world put
together.

Japanese Carving.

Japanese art is supreme in wood and
ivory carving. Sir Edwin Arnold in
Seas and Lands declares there is moth
ing known to him in Europe that
comes near what japanese workmen
can achieve. A specimen of ivory
carving was shown to him which rep
resented bag of rice with two or
three dozen rats in and upon 1t. Ev-
cry rat was as individual in character,
position and action, as If a special
portrait had been taken of him; and
the web of the bag the glistening
grains of rice and the sleek fur of the
rodents could not have been better ex-
pressed in painting. At an art store in
Yokohama he examined a piece of
wood carving representing two life
sized wrestlers struggling In the ring.
Every muscle and every vein was de-
lineated, every tendon and ligament
was anatomically perfect. 1t drew
constant crowd, and policeman in
formed the proprietor of the store that,
II he intended to continue the wres-
ting on his premises, he must engage
a posse of policemen to restrain the
crowd. He was invited into the store,
and melted into smiles when he saw
that the wrestlers were carvings in
wood

PAIN IN THE JOINTS
Rheumatic fortunes Cease When Or.
Williams Pink Pills Make
New Blood.

The first sign of rheumatism is FREE
quently pain and swelling in one of
the Joints. If not combated in the
blood, which is the seat of the disease,
the poison spreads, affecting other joints
and tissues. Sometimes rheumatism at
tacks the heart and is quickly fatal.
The one remedy that has cured
rheumatism so that it stays cured is DR..
Williams Pink Pills. These pills expel
the poison from the blood and restore
the system, so that the poisonous matter
is passed off as nature intended.
Mrs. I. Il. Pitcher, of No. 1870 Mon
mouth street, Newark, N. j., suffered
for about three years from rheumatism
before she found this cure. She says:
at began with queer feeling in my
fingers. In little time it seemed as
though the finger joints had Jumps on
them and ] could not get my gloves on.
"Then it grew worse and spread to
my knees. could not stand up and /
could not sleep nights. My suffering
was more than / can describe. / took q
great deal Of medicine, but nothing even
gave me relief until tried DR.. Williams
Pink Pills.
ct read an account of cure in case
that was exactly like mine and my hus-
band got me some of the pills. took
them for three weeks before / really felt
better but they finally cured me. ("
Mr.. Pitcher, who is veteran and a
member of e. ID. Morgan Post, No. 307
of New York, substantiates his wife's
statement and says that she now walks
without difficulty, whereas year ago
he was compelled to push her about in q
wheeled chair. Both Mr.. and Mrs.
Pitcher are enthusiastic in their praise
of DR.. Williams Pink Pills.

rncreasin q Value OF Diamonds.

In 1850 diamonds were sold in Eu-
rope ut $40 karat. In ITO, when
Brazilian stones were poured on the
market. first quality diamonds sold as
low as So a karat, and in 1890 they
had increased to $50, and remained
about this figure until 1913, when from
S15 to $50 a kalat was asked. From
1860 on the price of diamonds ad-
vanced, and, with the worlds diamond
mines practically in the control of one
company during the last ten years, the
price has steadily increased until the
present time, when first water dia-
monds are quoted at $40 karat or
more

A Mighty Good Sort of Neighbor To
Have.

A Mighty Good Sort of Neighbor To
"a little widow, neighbor of mine,
persuaded me to try Grape-Nuts when;
my stomach was so weak that it wouldl
not retain food Of any other kind
writes a grateful woman, from San
Bernardino Co., Cal.
Il had been i'll and confined to my
bed with fever and nervous prostra-
ton for three long months after the
birth Of my second boy. We were in,
despair until the little widows advice
brought relief.
II liked Grape-Nuts food from the
beginning, and in an incredibly short
time it gave me such strength that II
was able to leave my bed and enjoy
my three good meals day. In two
months my weight increased from 90
to 113 pounds, my nerves had steadied
down and l felt ready for anything.
Ny neighbors were amazed to see me
gain so rapidly and still more so when
they heard that Grape-Nuts alone had
brought the change.
"My 4-year-old boy had eczema, very.
bad, last spring and lost his appetite
entirely, which made him cross and
peevish. put him on diet Of Grape
Nuts, which he relished at once, He
improved from the beginning, the ecze-
ma disappeared and now he is fat and
rosy, with delightfully."- soft, clear
skin. The Grape-Nuts diet did it. I
will willingly answer all inquiries"

was alleged that Rice was the victim of
a plot in which his valet, Charles X.
Jones, at the instigation and under the
direction of Patrick. murdered his master
by the use of chloroform.
A check against one of Rice's bank
accounts, found to be a forgery, led to
the arrest of Patrick and Jones on Oct.
4, 1900. Jones confessed to the murder
in several contradictory statements. He
was accepted as a State witness and was
never tried. He is now living in Texas.
Patrick, himself an able criminal law
yer, had the assistance in his defense of
the best attorneys, but in spite of all was
found guilty of murder in the first degree
and April 8, 1902, he was sentenced to
death. Then began that remarkable fight
for retrial. Every possible means have
been used to delay execution of sentence
and get his case once more before the
courts. An appeal in every court in the
State open to him has been made, but
always in vain.
The plucky fight put up by the con-
demned man has attracted worldwide at
tention, and a great deal of sympathy
for Patrick has been shown. Commuta-
ton of sentence was asked for recently
in a petition signed by such men as DIR.

the Dominican affair the executive had
usurped the powers of the Senate. In

amendment abrogating the eight-hour day
for work on the Panama canal was de-
feated, and another, providing that canal
commissioners may not receive additional
compensation besides their salaries, was
passed. The item of $2,615 to reimburse

topic of unfavorable comment and de-

criticism. The most animated debate

that to cut this appropriation meant
distress to the interior sections of the
country, where silver money is used, but
the opponents of the amendment de-
