Monarchs az Llneuic.s.

Monarchs must know more than one
language King Edward, who trav-
eled so much, speaks French better
than some Frenchmen, and also Ger
man. The cZar of Russia speaks
French as well as his native tongue
and knows the numerous dialects
Emperor William of Germany speaks
French and English correctly, and is
also well versed in Latin. The king
of Spain, the youngest of all, speaks
German with ease and also French
and English. Because of his marriage
he now practices the latter. The king
of Portugal speaks French, English,
German and Spanish. The king of
Italy is master of French and Ger
man and is also well versed in the va
rious Italian dialects.

Keen Your Blood Pure.

No one can be happy, light-hearted
and healthy with a body full of blood
that cannot do it's duty to every part
because of it's impurity; therefore, the
first and most important work in hand
is to purify the blood so that every
organ will get the full benefit of a
healthy circulation. There is no rem
edy so good as that old family rem
edy, Brandreth's Pills. Each pill con-
tains one grain of the solid extract of
sarsaparilla blended with two grains
of a combination of pure and mild
vegetable products, making it blood
purifier unexcelled in character. One
or two taken every night for awhile
will produce surprising results.
Brandreth's Pills have been in use
for over century, and are for sale
everywhere, plain or sugar-coated.

Prominent on Lecture Platform.

Senator Tillmap probably earns
more money every year on the lecture
platform than any other American
who talks to the public for pay. From
an authoritative source the statement
comes that the South Carolinian's net
proceeds thus far this year from his
lecture tour are $25,000. Senator Till
man is paid from $3.50 to $500 lee
ture and he is constantly in demand.
His season is not confined to the sum-
merry Chautauqua course and he fills
nearly as many dates in the winter
as at any other time of the year In
the last four years it is said that he
has laid aside over $4,000 from his
lecture receipts. Henry Watterson
perhaps comes next in the matter of
earnings on the platform. Champ
Clark, of Missouri, ranks high as a
popular favorite and makes about
twice as much as a lecturer as his con-
gressional salary.

of my fingers was so bad that the
nail came off. / had often heard of
cures by the Cuticura Remedies, but
had no confidence in them as / had
tried so many remedies, and they all
had failed to cure me. / had seen
three doctors, but got no relief. Final
ly my husband said that we would
try the Cuticura Remedies, so we got
a cake of Cuticura Soap, a box of
Cuticura Ointment, and two bottles
of Cuticura Resolvent Pills. OF course
| keep Cuticura Soap all the time for
my hands, but the one cake of Soap
and half a box of Cuticura Ointment
cured them. 1t is surely blessing
for me to have my hands well. and /
am very proud Of having tried Cuti-
cura Remedies, and recommend them
to all suffering with eczema. Mrs.

CRIED EASILY.
Nervous Woman Stopped Coffee and
Quit Other Things.

No better practical proof that coffee
is drug can be required than to note
how the nerves become unstrung in
women who habitually drink it.
The stomach, too, rebels at being
continually drugged with coffee and
tea-they both contain the drug
caffeine. Ask your doctor.
An Ia. woman tells. the old story
thus:
Il had used coffee for six years and
was troubled with headaches, nervous
ness and dizziness. In the morning
upon rising 1 used to belch up a sour
fluid regularly.
"Often | got so nervous and miser-
able | would cry without the least rea-
son, and 1 noticed my eyesight was
getting poor.
After using Postum a while, I OBJ
served the headaches left me and soon
the belching of sour fluid stopped (wa-
ter brash from dyspepsia). l feel de-
cidedly different now, and | am con-
vinced that 1t is because / stopped
coffee and began to use Postum. can

Chinese Superior to Japs.

this country are superior to the jap
anese. 81 have loaned thousands of
dollars to Cinnamon" said the sena-
tor, "and never have l known one to
fail to meet his obligations" He en-
phasizec his opinion as to the superior
ity of the Cinnamon by calling atten-
ton to the fact that the Japanese in
their banking institutions employ
Cinnamon in positions of trust in
preference to their own countrymen.

Water on a BattIeship.

AS many as 5000 gallons of fresh
water are used in large battleship
daily. AboueTtw Ttwo-thirds of this is
taken up by the boilers, and the re-
mainder is used for drinking, washing,
cooking, etc. When the store which
she has taken out with her from port
has been used up, a vessel has to de-
pend upon her condensers for further
supplies. Every modern warship is
fitted with evaporating machinery to
distil the salt sea-water.

TIE PROGRESS OF THE CANA
DIAN WEST.
Nearly 100000 of an Increase in Cana.
da's immigration in 1906.

The progress of new country can
not be better ascertaineG than by not
ing the increase of railroad mileage in
it's transportation system, and, judged
by this standard, the Canadian West
leads all the countries in the world
during the current year. Thirty years
ago there was not one hundred miles
of railroad west of the Great Lakes,
and very little prospect of trans
continental route for many years to
come, but by the end of 1885 the
Canadian Pacific Railway was within
measurable distance of completion,
and last year-twenty years later
over 5000 miles of railroad traversed
the provinces of Manitoba, Sas-
katchewan and Alberta.
In the past year the work of rail-
road construction has been vigorously
prosecuted, and by the end of 1906,
some 5000 miles of completed railroad
has been added, making a total of
fully 1900 miles in the three great
grain producing provinces of Canada.
Such an increase in the transportation
facilities of the country is bound to
make good times not only in the dis
tricts where the railroads are being
built but throughout the entire west.
Allowing $4,000 a mile for construc-
ton, the sum of 500, 100000 will be
put in circulation, and this in itself
should cause good times to prevail in
a land where work is plentiful, wages
are high, and the cost of living is mod
crate.
But the building of new railroads
through Western Canada means a
greater benefit to the country than
merely the money put in circulation
by the cost of construction. Addition
al railway building means the opening
of new agricultural districts and an
additional area under crops; largely
increased output of grain to foreign
markets with consequent financial re-
turns; the erection of elevators and
the growth of villages, towns and cit
les; and everything else that makes
for the progress of national life, and
the opening up of additional thousands
of free homesteads, so extensively adj

agent, whose address appears else
where.
1t was stated on the floor Of the
Canadian Parliament recently by a
prominent representative that ten
years from now would see the bulk of
the population of Canada residing
west of the Great Lakes, and if the
work Of railway building during the
present year is any criterion, the
prophecy made by the Canadian states
man may be easily fulfilled inside of
the time stated. During the present
year no less than 1S9,064 persons have
found homes in the Canadian west,
of whom 57,796 were Americans who
have seen the great possibilities of
this new West, and have decided to
cast in their lot with it. Certainly,
our neighbor north of the 49th parallel
is making a great record, and deserves
the success that appears to be coming
its way.
