The kind Of stalk from which to
make selections is one free from suck

conference, at the base and gradually
tapering toward the top, as this is the
type that stands drouth best and is not
as apt to be blown down as high,

be attached to good root and leaf de-

nourlshment and growth are largely de-
pendent upon the thoroughness with
which these two organs do their work.
Poor root or, leaf development is indica-
tive of meager growth and small, poor

THOSE SUDDEN TWINGES..

Pain is natures signal of distress, . warning that must not be ignored Those sharp twinges in the back, those stabilize pains that follow any sudden twist or turn. are simply signs of hidden danger in the kidneys.
 No trouble starts more easily. gains ground more rapidly, nor proves more often fatal than any disorder of the Kidneys. All the outward sp- pearanees of health may remain until terrible disease had taken root.
 It is best to learn the duties of the Kidneys. to watch for early signs of trouble. and to correct any irregular ity before its serious stage begins.
 The blood goes to the kidneys in an incessant stream. to be cleared of pol son and relieved of surplus water. This Is passed off by the Kidneys in the. urine. It is the retention of pol son in kidney trouble that breeds fatal disease.
 Don't wait. The moment you feel any uneasiness. lameness or pain in the back. the moment the urine shows irregularity. either in It's ap- pearance. or in the quantity or num- Der of the passages. begin with Doan's Kidney Pills. This remedy has been curing kidney troubles for seventy six years. and never yet has failed

the fact that so much is imported under the high duty demonstrates that the Sumatra tobacco has not been equalled in that region. With in the past few years extensive ex- periments have been made in Georgia and Florida in the growing of such wrapper tobacco under shade and the results have been remarkably suc- cessful, so much so that within 8 few years it is possible the dream of the department of agriculture will be realized and the United States will produce wrapper leaf equal in all respects to Sumatra. Meanwhile many of the larger dealers in cigar leaf tobacco including some of the factories, either maintain agents or correspondents in Amsterdam to snap up choice lots when offered or visit Europe themselves especially to be present at what are known as 'in- scriptions." Amsterdam is a free market" for tobacco and cigars of a very fair quality are retailed at from two to four cents each. Such cigars, imported to this country, would have to pay $4.50 per hundred plus 25 per cent ad valorem duty and $3 per thousand internal revenue tax, which effectually prevents any importation of Dutch cigars.

PEAT AS FUEL.
Germans Propose to Turn It Into Power Gas, Including the Water.

Germany has vast fields of peat, containing a large proportion of con- bustible material and it has worried the economists and scientists of the empire for years that the use of turf as fuel was steadily declining. This has been due, of course. to the su- perior qualities of coal, and especial- ly to the troublesome process of dry ing the peat to fit 1t for fuel after il had been cut.
 Now, it is believed all the drawbacks have been overcome and there is going to be a serious boom in the use of turf for fuel for industrial purposes. Prof A. Frank of Charlottenburs made the first step.
 He proposed to utilize the peat by converting it into gas. and he de- meastrated that for this purpose it was entirely unnecessary to dry it, water being in fact principle ingre- dient In the up to date manufacture of gas for Illuminating and heating purposes.
 Next came Dr N. Caro-, colleague of Professor Frank. He greatly i'm proved the type of generator by which the gas is produced. He brought these to such perfection that in some experiments made with his apparatus at Stockton, England, coaldust, sawdust and peat contain ing 50 to 55 per cent in weight of water was turned into commercial gas, while valuable byproducts, in- cluding a large percentage of sul- phate of ammonia, were secured from the peat.
 The experiments to date indicate that from about 2,200 pounds of turf as cut about s7,500 feet of gas can be distilled, capable of develop ing 500 theoretical horsepower hours when used for mechanical pur- poses through the medium of gas engine. The cost of cutting the turt is, of course. small. and if power plants are set up near the peat bogs the cost of moving the weight of water 1t contains is negligible. The ammonia byproducts can be utilized in the manufacture of fertilizers.
 Several considerable plants are said to be contemplated in various parts of the country.

There is strong disposition among democrats to make square issue of the proposition of the presi- dent and MT Root to secure 'con- structions of the constitution" in- creasing the power of the federal government at the expense of the rights of the states, or. in other words, to amend the constitution, not by the method prescribed in that instru- ment, but by judicial construction, thus transferring the sovereignty of the nation from the people to body of nine judges chosen by the presi- dent for the purpose of obtaining an enlargement of his own power by in- trigue, involving usurpation. says an exchange, Notwithstanding MT Roots assertion that "the people will have" such changes through means that would amount to an abrogation of the fifth article and the tenth
 amendment of the constitution, democrats are ready to test the ques- tion. The next democratic national convention will probably speak out in unmistakable terms on this point.

The best basis, however, for re- vival of confidence at present lies in the crop situation, says Banker Clews. as we have now had more than two weeks of almost ideal growing weather. There has been no lack of moisture in most of the crop growing sections, and, owing to plenty of sunshine and higher tenn peratures, great improvement has followed in the condition of wheat, cotton, corn and all other cereal, vegetable and fruit crops. For tunately, there is good demand for all the products of the farm at pro- fitable prices. Our farmers are still enjoying unusual prosperity, are out of debt, and spending freely. While this will be helpful to security mar kets. it is of vastly more importance to the general business interests of the country which closely depend upon the prosperity of the agricul- tural classes. With average weather until the middle of September, there ought to be plenty of corn. cotton and wheat for home consumption and an abundance for export at good prices. Here and there are signs of lessensd activity in business and the feeling of caution is very prevalent owing to the high level on which all business is being done, but as yet there are no signs of general reac- ton. The outlook is for a quiet market until after the Independence holidays. There are many promi- nent absentees, and this contributes to inactivity. Should we continue free of unfavorable developments. confidence ought to gradually re- cover.

The Amsterdam tobacco market exemplif1es the remarkable increase in the consumption of cigars throughout the world, which set in soon after the American civil war, says a Washington writer. In 1869 only 352 bales of Sumatra tobacco were sold on the Amsterdam market. Last year Consul Hill reports that the sales of Sumatra amounted to 2O6,sS2 bales valued at s19,S5s, 500 while in addition 320,sss bales of Java and 17.062 bales of Borneo to- baceo were disposed of. the former valued at s6,231, ,OOO and the latter at s1.005.0O0. Immense quantities of the Sumatra tobacco are purchased in Amsterdam for American factories as it is regarded as the best wrapper tobacco in the world for everything except clear Havana cigars. The leaves are large, fine and silky. and thin. Thus more cigars can be wrap ped with a pound of Sumatra than with the same quantity of other to- baccos- For many years the United States has attempted to produce to- baeco of this type and to encourage it's production There is a duty of s1-50 per pound on wrapper tobacco. in addition to the thirty-fTe cents per pound on ordinary filler leaf. making the total duty on Sumatra s1.s5 per pound. A large quantity of such tobacco is grown in the Connecticut valley under shade but
