Land and a Living

Are beet and cheapest in fhe Great New Soutb. The northern (farmer, artisan, merchant, manufacturer, are all hurring into this rapidly developing country as pioneers. The open climate, the low price of land, and its steady increase in value the poe'tive assurance of crops, with but little effort to raise them, ail combine to turn all eyes southward.

To assist in this movement, low railroad rates have been inaugurated over The Queen & Crescent Route from northern towns and villages, both round trip and one-way tickets being on sale at about half the usual rates. Round-trips selling on the first and third Tuesday of each month one-way tickits on the iirst Tuesday each month.

Now is the time for ycu to go and see* Much has bean said and written about the fruit, grains and grasses along The Queen & Crescent Route and about its climate—no blizzards and no sunstrokes Summer nights are cool. Grass grows green ten months in the year. Lees wear and tear in livingj than you've known in the north. A million acres of land at 83 to §5 an acre, on easy terms. Now is the timo to no and 6ee for yourself. Write to W. C. Rinearson, G. P. A., Queen & Crescent Koute, Cincinnati, O., for such information as.you desire before starting. tf

THE MOSLEM WORLD.

ttn Wrath RUlng Against the Policies of Europe. It almost seems as If the •words of the deceased French statesman, Jules Simon, who died in June last, had in them the possibilities of a prophecy. Bewarel he said, in substance, of the Mohammedans. "They see Europe overrunning Asia and Africa. The question with them is, 'To be or not to be?' The relations between the conquered Moslem peoples are being secretly revived. Everything in the east is asleep nothing is dead. Be on your guard against the awakening." These words are brought to mind by the dispatch of the Herald's special correspondent in Constantinople, Mr. Sidney Whitman. It is a remarkable dispatch and Is worthy of serious consideration by the peoples of Europe. The Moslem world is weary of domination and interference and senseless slaughter in the name of Christian civilization. Among the Softaa, the leaders of thought in the Turkish Mohammedan world, the conviction gains ground, Mr. Whitman Bays, that the twilight of Moslem rule in Constantinople has come. "Remembering their warlike past, the Mohammedans have in despair resolved to light the funeral pyre. The English attacks on the sultan have increased their determination to face unflinchingly the worst." There is probably a great truth in these words, and if the torch of the fanatics is once lighted throughout, the Moslem world who can tell the end? The Italians have beec defeated and driven out of Abyssinia by the Negus, who is a Christian, but who had to make alliance with the dervishes in order to maintain his independence and liis very existence. Now the English are pressing on to tl^e sacred city of the dervishes in the Soudan, with the intention of wiping that stronghold of Moslemism out of existence. Will they or can they succeed? "Reflect," says Jules Simon, "that there are behind the dark curtain in Asia and Africa more than two or three civilizations of immense antiquity, ready to recognize and revive their ancient glories, and all the more formidable that after long resistance they have condescended to use the weapons acquired from us." Must we beware of the twakening of this sleeping fanaticism of the Moslem world?—New York World.

FactH About Aluminum.

In 1855 a pound of aluminum cost $200. So late as 1889 it sold for I'our dollars and a half a pound. Now it is quite within the probabilities that in another year it will be profitably produced for 35 cents a pound. Nature has been lavish enough, in this instance, but man is slow to learn her secret. In its various compounds—and 't enters into the composition of a very arge number of minerals—aluminum forms about one-twelfth of the crust of the earth. Ordinarily it is extracted from the oxide, alumina, which is the chief constituent of common clay. Until recently, however, only expensive processes have served to separate the metal from the combinations in which I it is found. During the past two or three years American scientists and inI ventors have overcome many of the old obstacles. The Hist article ever made of the metal was—in compliment to

Louie Napoleon, who had helped St. Clair Neville, the first manufacturer— a table for the baby Prince Imperial. At present it seems almost impossible to name a use to which the metal may not be put. Aluminum is lighter than glass, and only one-fourth a= heavy as silver, which it somewhat resembles. Though it is as hard as zinc, scarcely any metal is equally malleable and ductile. It can be drawn into the finest wire and hammered into the thinnest sheets. Is sold at a low price aluminum, which does not tarnish, would largely supplant silver for decorating purposes. It is an excellent conductor, and might take the place of copper in electrical plants. Since no metal save steel of the highest grade is, weight for weight, its equal in strength, it would compete with the former in almost every manufacturing industry. Prance and Getmany have built several torpedo boata of aluminum, finding that its lightness insures speed and that it resists corrosion and galvanic action better than any other metal. Yachts, rowboats bicycles, horseless carriages, surgical instruments, skates, even cooking utensils have already been made from it.

DIAMOND SCINTILLATIONS.

The Kafir Workmen Are Kept Under wire Net* While Digging, The fir»t diamonds discovered in Africa were found by a trader who saw some ohildren playing with what they supposed were pebbles, one of which, at leaBt, proved to be a diamond worth |3,000, aays the Chautauqua. Even at that early day the news of the discovery was not long spreading to different countries, and not many years passed before so many claims were taken up that it was impossible to keep them separate and the result was one vast mining district some 15,000 square miles in area, controlled and worked by various corporations and syndicates. Besides these there is a large number of individual diggers. The mining In the African fields is done by thousands of wlldeyed, black-skinned natives. These Kaffirs are large, powerful men, cleanly in their habits and during the time for which their labor Is contracted, usually a month, they are deprived of all freedom. Communication with any one outside the limits of the mine 5s forbidden. They are compelled to live within the walled inclosnre or compound owned by the company. While in their employ the Kafirs are clothed and fed by the company and if sick or injured they are ared for by and at the expense of the corporation. Every possible precaution is taken to prevent the native

workmen from stealing the gems. wire netting covers the top of the compound, making It impossible to throw a stone over its walls, to be picked up by a confederate or an illicit diamond buyer. Every night at 5 o'clock, as the miners leave their work, each Is searched with great rigidity by the company's agent. So expert have the natives become in their robberies that «very portion of their body is carefully examined with a "sounding hammer," and by the light of a candle the sole of each foot is examined for the telltale refraction of light which reveals a diamond pushed under the thick skin of the foot, through an inoision so deftly covered that it is easily overlooked. But. the searcher has become as great an adept in his work as the robber in his robberies, until it is almost impossible for the thief to successfully secrete a stone, and the prospeot of severe punishment or of several years' Imprisonment in a South African dungeon has no doubt had its influence in reducing the robberies to a minimum.

The Scot and the Footpad.

A Scotsman residing in San Francisco was the most argumentative and the calmest of men. They use firearms rather inopportunely at times out there, and early one morning, when Mr. Macgregor was returning home, he was thus accosted by an American cltiien suddenly holding up a pistol: "Throw up your hands!" "Why?" asked Mr. McGregor, calmly. "Throw them up," insisted the footpad, shaking his pistol. "Will you do what I tell you?" "That depends," said Mr? Macgregor. "If you can show me any reason why I should put up my hands I'll no' say but that I will but yer mere request wad be no justification for me to do so absurd a thing. Noo, why should you, a complete stranger, ask me at this oor o* the mornin' on the public street to pit up ma hands?" you," cried the robber, "if you don't quit gassin' and obey orders I'll blow the top of your head off!" "What! Faith, man, you must be oot o' yer head. Come, noo, puir buddy," said Macgregor, soothingly, coolly catching the piBtol and wresting it with a quick twist out of the man's hand. "Come, now, and I'll show ye where they'll tak care o' ye. Hech! Dinna ye try to feclit, or, ecod, I'll shoot ye. By the way, ye might as weel put up yer ain handB an' just walk ahead o' me. That's it. Trudge awa, noo." And so Mr. Macgregor marched his man to the city prison and beaded him over to Captain Douglas. "It wouldna be a bad idea to put him in a straight jacket," Ire said serenely to the officer. "There's little doot but the budd's daft," and he resumed his Interrupted homeward walk.

FUN IN THE WEST.

Thirteen T11II7 Marks on the Stock of Hli Gun. The man who asked me for a match for his pipe aeemed inclined to enter into conversation as he smoked, says a New York Herald writer, and knowing the freehanded ways of the west, I had little hesitancy in observing, after a 'bit: "As you took off your cap I noticed that you had been scalped." "Yes, 1 was skulped by Injuns a few years ago," he replied. "Any story connected with it?" "No, no. 1 met a dozen Injuns one day who wanted some fun, and so iney throwed me down and skulped me." "You are carrying some bad scars on your face?" "Yes, purtv bad. A grizzly b'ar made 'em with his claws. 1 was out huntin' one day and met a grizzly who wanted some fun, and he turned to and clawed me." "He didn't lame you in the left leg at the same time?" I asked. "Noap. He didn't hev nuthin' to do with my leg. I was down to Golden City one day and met Joe Lee. Joe wanted some fun and so he pulled down on me and ahot me in the hip." "I see you have a finger off the left hand. Was that lost while somebody was having fun with you?" "WaJl, yes. I was takin' a drink at a bar in Big Bend and forgot to invite the crowd to walk up. The boys thought they'd have some fun with me, so one of 'em swiped off that finger to make me lose my drink." "Did a bullet split your right ear?" "Yes, that was a bullet. A feller named Tom White did that. Met him one day when he was lookin' fur fun, and he split that ear with hot lead." "This western country is a. great place for fun, I take?" I said after a period of silence. "You bet!" he heartily replied. "And you must have had your share?" "I calkerlate! Count 'em!" I And he handed me a gun, and I counted thirteen tally marks on the stock. They don't tally for anything leas than human beings out west.

Politics aro so sharply drawn in many counties of the State that only the "organ" is recognized by the county authorities, not alone in spoils, but also in matters|in which there Bhouid be no divided interest. There is Ecarcely a county, for instance, but what has been visited by diphtheria and other contagious [diseases, and the inference is natural^that all rules for the better sanitation of the people should be given the widest publicity. On the contrary, if the commissioneis happen to be Democratic or Republican, as the case may be, and the same being true of the political shading of the health board, all rules for the enforcement or quarantine aro usually carried to the "organ," and the other newspapers are compelled to go withoHt, unless tbey choose to copy old matter. The Shelbyville Republican raises an indignant protest against this business, as so do other newspapers.

This is true of men's work too, but men's manual labor is never so complicated as housekeeping. In some way or other the world's work must be done." 'This iron-clad rule is harder on women than it is on men. A

If a woman is in good health there is no more healthful employment than housework. Generally speaking, there is no happier woman in the world tnan the one who is well and busy all day long "making home" for dear ones who depend upon her. But how different when every breath is pain, every step torture This state of health, in nine cases out of ten comes from derangements of the delicate, feminine organs of generation. TI12 family doctor inquires first_ concerning these. He most usually insists upon an "examination." From this the modest woman naturally shrinks. She is right. Excepting in very unusual cases of "female weakness" examinations are unnecessary. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is a simple, natural remedy for these ills. It cures gradually, safely, permanently. Here is one testimonial out of thousands: "I was ill four years with female weakness.' I took two bottles of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. I do my house work now without pain or faintness." Yours truly,

The old-time prices for the Daily Enquirer have been maintained, and its circulation largely increased each year hard times and cheaper journals failing to arrest its onward march and high appreciation of the public for its true worth and merit.

The Weekly Enquirer at beginning of the campaign year was offered at 50 cents a year, and its circulation increased by the addition of over 200,000 new subscribers the most substantial and coveted testimonial a publisher could desire. I

When asked for the secret of such success, Mr. McLean frankly answers: The Enquirer has no opinions to force upon its patrons, it simply prints the facts and tells the truth that the reader may form his own opinions. By maintaining the price of the paper, more news and greater variety can be furnished, and every class of business interests catered to, which a cheaper journal cannot afford.

The very liberal support given the Enquirer by the public at large, makes it incumbent upon the management to serve it faithfully with zeal and enterprise in minor matters as well as those of greater magnitude
