The Spanish Prince.

From a source regarded as un-
questionable it is learned that the
necessity for abandoning her inten-
tion to nurse her child caused the
queen of Spain her first moment of
grief since her marriage.
She resisted as long as possible,
but finally yielded when she was
told that the realization OF her
wishes would risk the health of the
prince as we'll as her own. She is
now consoled by the knowledge that
she established record for queens
of Spain, having nursed her first
born for ten days, instead of having
engaged nurse beforehand, as has
always been done heretofore.
The nurse is described as o splen-
did brunette of twenty.three years.
She will begin her duties at noon TO-
day. She will wear the traditional
uniform of royal wet nurses, cos.
tune of red velvet trimmed with
gold lice, white silk stockings and
low patent leather shoes with silver
buckles.
Spaniards are delighted because
the baby cried during his christen-
ing. According to an ancient Span
ish superstition this presages long
life. ..

ADVICE TO VICTIMS
TELLS READERS HOW TO CURE
RHEUMATISM AT HOME.
Directions to Mix Simple Prepara-
tion and the Dose to Take-over-
comes Kidney and Bladder
Trouble Promptly.

There is so much Rheumatism every
where that the following advice by an
eminent authority, who writes for read
ers Of a large Eastern daily paper, will
be highly appreciated by those who
suffer:
Get from any good pharmacy one
half ounce Fluid Extract Dandelion,
one ounce Compound Kargon, three
ounces of Compound Syrup Sarsapa-
rilla. Shake these well in bottle and
take in teaspoonful doses after each
meal and at bedtime; also drink plenty
of good water.
1t is claimed that there are few vic
tins of this dread and torturous dis
ease who will fail to find ready relief
in this simple homemade mixture, and
in most cases a permanent cure is the
result.
This simple recipe is said to strength
en- and cleanse the eliminative tissues
of the Kidneys so that they can filter
and strain from the blood and system
the poisons, acids and waste matter,
which cause not only Rheumatism, but
numerous other diseases. Every man
or woman here who feels that their
kidneys are not healthy and active, or
who suffers from any urinary trouble
whatever, should not hesitate to make
up this mixture. as 1t is certain to do
much good, and may save you from
much misery and suffering after while.

THE NUMBER OF ANIMALS.
Recent Attempts to Tabulate the
Beasts That Perish.

Every now and then some natural
ist endeavors to make an approximate
numerical count Of known animal
species. This kind Of attempt is sure
ly not without interest, but it must be
acknowledged that its results are very
uncertain. We are far from knowing
all species, and there is yet a delight
ful prospect ahead for those who love
systematic zoology and for biologists
who bestow mutual honors by giving
each others names to some animal
hitherto unknown.
AS Nurmann remarked to recent
meeting of naturalists at the museum,
to which he presented his Catalogues
Mammalian" the species of rodents
known in 1880 were only go in num-
Der; now they are 1900. The mum.
Der has thus, at least, doubled in 27
years. The number of living species
of this creature now known is about
1900, divided among 160 genera. This
family is the most numerous of the
class of mammalia.-WisSen fur Allie.

WEALTH CONCENTRATION EVIL.
Operation of Injurious Trusts Can Be
curtaiIed by Efforts of the
Masses.

An evil that at present Is receiving
more than ordinary attention in the
press is the concentration OF vast
amounts of money in the hands of
corporations. The accumulation of
wealth by individuals when controlled
by natural law, will inevitably become
divided. The millionaire who has a
family. at his death will apportion 10
each member a share of his wealth.
Even though these divisions may be
increased by work and by speculation
and investment by the children. they
in return will divide the aCcumula.
tions among their offspring and even
tually. it matters not how great the
fortunes of any one of the family
may become, it is only a matter of
time until there is a scattering Of the
money, and a great portion of it will
pass from the members OF the family.
On the other hand, corporation meth
DDS mean the building of a system
that prevents the operation of the
natural law. In other words corpora,
tions are machines that work con.
tinuously, aud when one part is brol.
en- it is replaced by a new one. Thus
the accumulation goes on. The death
of Rockefeller will not result in a
discontinuanCe of the Standard Oil
company; the death of the present
stockholders Of any of the large trust
companies, banks or insurance COM
panics will make little difference in
their existence. All will go ahead.
The safeguards of corporations in
many cases are excellent. But the
inclination to control trade by the
crushing out of smaller concerns and
the destruction of legitimate compe-
tition and the controlling of prices,
seems against public policy. All
classes are compelled TO pay prices
dictated by these trusts for the goods
produced. Each year finds new com.
binations to control trade. 1t is the
Capitalization of capital that makes
such operations possible. The person
who assists in concentrating money in
large financial centers does his part
toward helping along such combines.
IL is only by individual action on the
part of every small producer and lab
orer in the country that conditions
can be changed. Stand by every home
industry and do your part toward
keeping money in circulation at home
and thus bring about conditions that
will make the operations of trusts and
combinations impossible.

SCIENCE OF TOWN KILLING.
Unwise Booming and Maintaining Ex
orbitant Prices an Effective Way.

There is a county seat town in one
of the central western states that has
a population of about 5000. IT. is sur
rounded by one of the richest farming
countries. For years this town has
been at standstill If anything it
is retrograding, and even farm values
near it are lowering, while poorer land
some 20 miles away is advancing.
Why should such condition exist?
The answer is plain. A dozen years
ago there was boom. With the boom
real estate went to the top notch.
Keeping pace with the boom the
prices of products in that town went
up. There was a collapse in real es-
tate values, but the merchants re.
mained, and kept up the high-price
habit. That is they wanted more than
an equitable share of profit. Another
town was started 20 miles away Some
of the farmers went there. It was
found that the merchants were selling
goods at lower price. The stock
buyer and the grainbuyer pai6 few
cents a hundred more for their pur-
chases. The habit of trading at the
new town grew. The business men of
the old town couldn't learn a lesson.
Before they knew it their customers
were leaving them. So it has been
since then. The merchants have been
plodding along. The money that
should be retained in the town went
elsewhere. Much of it went to build
up the competing town.
Mistakes like this one are made
frequently. Towns become dead
places instead of live ones. In fact,
some towns are so dead that the farm
ers who withdrew their trade from
them are suffering in decreased farm
values. They take no interest in
these places, other than to visit them
now and then. Unhealthy booms. I'M
healthy prices made by the merchants,
and which are foolishly maintained,
are quito certain to kill a town even
though it may be a county seat and
have some advantages nearby towns
may not have.
