American Banting.

Imperativerequisitions by the government authorities for the production of bunting for navy flags are what insure the superiority so well known to characterize the American article. The regulations prescribe that the fabric be made entirely of wool of the best quality, and show no imperfections, the weight to be five and one-fourth pounds avoirdupois per piece of forty yards of ten-inch width, the yarn to be evenly spun, the warp and filling to contain no less than thirty-four threads to the inch, and the warp two ply with oneply filling, properly twisted; further, a tensile strength is required of sixtyfive pounds for the warp and forty-five pounds for the filling, in test pieces two inches wide. The colors must be as “fast” as it is possible to make them, and not liable to be seriously affected by being soaked continuously for twenty-four hours In fresh water, and then thoroughly washed in water with which is combined a good grade of laundry soap. Every stripe and device on the flags made of this superb material is measured with the most perfect geometrical accuracy, and the stars are put on so carefully and evenly that when the flag is held up to the light, the stars, which are made of muslin and put on both sides, appear to be a part of the fabric. The stars are cut with chisels out of bleached muslin laid thirty thicknesses together on a large open block.

AN OVERWORKED BRAIN.

From the Record. Pierceton. Ind. Determined to rise as an educator, Ernest Kemper, of Pierceton, Ind., overtaxed himself mentally and physically. He was ambitious; his mind was always on his work. Krom early morn until late at night he continually pored over his books. Few persons, even with the strongest constitutions, can keep up under such a strain. In addition to his studies, Mr. Kemper was teaching a school some three miles from his home. Finally, his excessive study and the exposure of going to and from school in all kinds of weather undermined his health. He was taken to his bed with pneumonia and his overworked brain almost collapsed. For several weeks he wao seriously ill. Catarrh had taken root in his system • and his mind was in a delicate condition.

He was sent to Colorado, where he spent three months without «= —TfrfrrT r e c e tving \ any benefit < "'Then a note d special- * 8 t from Ole veland Vsjl |i"i| treated him without \\ II avail, and i \k 11 then a hospit a 1 in C h 1 c a go was tried, but all abtudt/. 8 o 1 u t ely

without benefit. Finally his physician >recommended Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People, and from the first box he began to improve. When he had taken nine boxes he waa completely cured. This famous blood and nerve medicine accomplished what former expensive treament failed to do. Mr. Kemper says his catarrh has entirely left him; he is strong again and weighs nine pounds more than he ever did. He gives the pills the entire credit. He is starting teaching again and feels abundantly able to continue the work. To prove that the above is true Mr. Kemper’s affidavit follows: Subscribed and sWom to before me this the 10th day of September, 1897. R. P. WATT, Notary Public. We doubt if these pills have an equal in all the range of medicine, for building up a run down and debilitated system.

Origin of a French Habit.

Shrugging the shoulders In cold weather is probably the survival of an old instinct, which prompts animals to put the skin of the back on the stretch, and so erect the hairy covering of that part. The hair is now reduced to a mere downy covering, but the old Instinct still remains, in common with others, the rule apparently being that all instincts which are harmless to their possessors are constant, In spite of any change of structure. All animals with long hair or feathers erect their coats in cold weather, for the warmth of such a covering depends on its thickness and the amount of air it contains, rather than on Its bulk.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion ot the ear. There Is only one way to cure Deafness, and that Is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an Inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets Inflamed you have a rumbling sound or Imperfect hearing, and when It is entirely closed Deafness Is the result, and unless the Inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to Its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an Inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. F. J. CHENEY & CO., Toledo. O.

CONGRESS

Wednesday’s debate in the Senate oa the Alaskan homestead and railway right of way bill was spirited. Mr. Carter (Mont.) delivered a vigorous speech in reply to that made by Mr. Rawlins (Utah), in the course of which be made a strong defense of the honor of Congressional committees and of officials in the several government departments. One of the special features of the debate was a speech delivered by Mr. Elkins (W. Va.), in which he explained that the Canadian Pacific Railway was enabled to make war upon American interests, and how and why the aggressions of that great railroad ought to be stopped by the United States. The speech drew replies from Mr. Hoar (Mass.), Mr. Chilton (Texas), and Mr. Nelson (Minn.). Mr. Hoar maintained that a large part of the speech of Mr. Elkins was irrelevant to the pending discussion. The House spent another day in debate upon the Loud bill relating to second class mail matter. The speeches as a rule attracted little interest. The speakers were Messrs. Bromwell (Rep., Ohio), and Ogden (Dem., La.), in favor of the measure, and Messrs. Bell (Pop., Colo.), Simpson (Pop., Kau.), Clark (Dem., Mo.), Brown (Rep., Ohio), and Lentz (Dem., Ohio), in opposition to it In the Senate ou Thursday the House amendments to the bankruptcy bill were non-coucurred in, and Messrs. Hoar, Nelson nnd Lindsay were appointed as Senate conferees. During almost the entire session the Senate hnd under consideration the Alaska homestead and railway right of way bill. One of the features of the discussion was a speech delivered by Mr. Vest, in which he ridiculed the idea of homesteading any part of Alaska or constructing railroads in that district. His motion to eliminate the homestead feature of the bill by striking out the first section was defeated. The resolution for a congressional investigation of the murder of the postmaster at Lake City, S.’ 0., was referred to the Committee on Contingent expenses. A bill wak passed to establish an assay office in Seattle, Wash. In the House the Loud bill, to correct alleged abuses of the second-class mail matter privilege, was laid on the table by a vote of 102 to 119, thus killing it. Fortyseven Republicans joined with the Democrats and Populists in accomplishing this result and ten Democrats voted with the majority of the Republicans. Mr. White (Rep., N. 0.), the only colored member of the House, asked unanimous consideration for a resolution appropriating SI,OOO for the family of the assassinated Lake City postmaster, but it went over upon objection from Mr. Bartlett (Dem., Ga.). After a debate lasting several days the Senate on Friday passed the bill extending the homestead laws and providing for right of way for railroads in the district of Alaska. Comparatively little discussion of general interest was created by the bill. Section 13, providing for certain bonding concessions to Canada in lieu of privileges to be extended by the Dominion Government to this country, however, induced a pretty lively debate, as it brought into the controversy the old fisheries question on the New England eoast, which has been pending between the United States and Great Britain for 100 years. Two more appropriations were sent to the President Friday, the pension bill and the consular and diplomatic, both of which went through their final stage in the House. It was private bill day. The most important action taken was acquiescence in an agreement to make the bill appropriating about $1,200,000 for war claims approved by the court of claims under the provisions of the Bowman act a special order for the next Friday. The claims carried by the bill, 730 in number, are for stores and supplies seized*during the war in the Southern States. Only two bills were passed, one to pay the heirs of Sterling T. Austin about $59,000 for cotton seized during the war, and the other to pay an aggregate of $3,360 in small claims growing out of back pay, etc., earned during the war. The House adjourned until Monday. In the House on Monday the Hawley bill providing fojr two additional regiments of artillery was passed under suspension of the rules by almost unanimous vote. Mr. Bailey, the Democratic leader, wanted more time for debate than the forty minutes allowed, and because he did not get it he inaugurated a filibuster against District of Columbia legislation that continued all day. In the Senate the session was devoted to consideration of the’District of Columbia appropriation bill. At the hour of adjournment the bill had not been disposed of. The District of Columbia appropriation bill, containing a provision for the reduction -of about one-half of the present rates of telephone charges in the district, was passed by the Senate ou Tuesday. A bill to authorize the relocation and rebuilding of a pontoon bridge across the Mississippi River at Prairie du Chien, Wis., was passed. The bill for the relief of the Methodist Episcopal Church South of Tennessee, appropriating $288,000, was passed. In the House the bill appropriating $50,000,000 for defense passed unanimously.

News of Minor Note.

According to the latest figures, China owes her creditors $193,525,000. Gen. W. B. Taliaferro, who was commander of the Virginia troops during John Brown’s raid, is dead. Four hundred patients have died of starvation in one Havana hospital during the past two months. A 7-foot granite monument in the Upper Hartz, Germany, has an iron tablet inscribed: “Here in the year 1847 the first trials were made with the cultivation of the potato.” A Paris newspaper expresses a hope that “a European statesman will be found to intervene, with a view of the maintenance of peace between the United States and Spain.” The navies of the world are now rated as follows: Great Britain, 1; France, 2; Russia, 3; Italy, 4; United States, 5; Germany, G; Spain, 7: Japan, 8; Austria, 9, and Netherlands, 10. The smokestack of the Government assay office in Wall street, New York, has lately been cleaned, and the sweepings smelted and refined, yielding 52 standard ounces of gold and BGO ounces of silver. A sale of American prize horses took place in London. Twenty-two magnifi, cent animals, which took prizes at recent horse shows in Chicago and New York, were sold at auction at an average price of about $294, a striking illustration of foreign prejudice against American products. Another phase of the cigarette smoking evil is attracting the attention of Cincinnati physicians in the case of Joseph Savage, 19 years old, in one es the city hospitals. Through smoking forty cigarettes a day he contracted nn ulcer which destroyed the membrane behind the palate in his throat, and he now exhales smoke from his ears as well as from his nostrils.

A WORD OF ADVICE

To Those Coming to Alaska or the Klondike Gold Fields. One thing should be Impressed upon every miner, prospector or trader coming to Alaska, to the Klondike, or the Yukon country, and that is the necessity for providing an adequate and proper food supply. Whether procured In the States, in the Dominion, or at the supply stores here or further on, this must be his primary concern. Upon the manner In whleh the miner has observed or neglected this precaution more than upon any other one thing will his success or failure depend. These supplies must be healthful and should be concentrated, but the most careful attention In the selection of foods that will keep unimpaired indefinitely under all the conditions which they will have to encounter Is imperative. For instance, as bread raised with baking powder must be relied upon for the chief part of every meal, imagine the helplessness of a miner with a can of spoiled baking powder. Buy only the very best flour; It is the cheapest In the end. Experience has shown the Royal Baking Powder to be the most reliable and the trading companies now uniformly supply this brand, as others will not keep in this climate. Be sure that the bacon is sweet, sound and thoroughly cured. These are the absolute necessities upon which all must place a chief reliance, and can under no circumstances be neglected. They may, of course, be supplemented by as many comforts or delicacies as the prospector may be able to pack or ceslre to pay for.—From the Alaska Mining Journal. A book $f receipts for all kinds of cookery, whleh is specially valuable for use upon the trail or In the camp, Is published by the Royal Baking Powder Company, of New York. The receipts are thoroughly practical, and the methods are carefully explained, so that the inexperienced may, with its aid, readily prepare everything requisite for a good, wholesome meal, or even dainties if he has the necessary materials. The matter is in compact though durable form, the whole book weighing but two ounces. Under a special arrangement, this book will be sent free to miners or others who may desire it. We would recommend that every one going to the Klondike procure a copy. Address the Royal Baking Powder Co., New York.

Scared Three Months Later.

“I wonder somebody doesn’t investigate the phenomena of fear," said a Washington woman to me not long ago, “and tell us why It Is that the sboqk of a sudden emergency often postpones one’s fear of the situation till all the danger Is over. For example, Mr. Cortland Cramp—" Cort” Cramp, they call him—the son of the famous shipbuilder, was at sen some years ago. During a frightful storm he was swept overboard. He kept Ida nerve. He was perfectly calm, and [recalled that people who were washed overboard by one wave were sometimes washed back by another. Presently his hand reached a rope. He grasped it firmly, and held on till the captain of the vessel, seeing the rope dragging in the water, pulled It In, and pulled Mr. Cramp, on board with It. Mr. Cramp was none the worse ft>r his experience, but one day, quite three months afterward, when he was on land, a realization of the danger he had been In came over him suddenly, and his knees fairly knocked together with fear. He was in a perfect panic from fright, and to this day, whenever he goes into the surf, the recollection- of hfs dreadful experience always returns to him, and he never ventures into deep water.”—Washington Post.

PRES. M’KINLEY VS. FREE SILVER.

A battle of giants is going to take place this summer on 30,000 farms in America, not in talk or votes, but in yields. Salzer’s two new potato marvels are named as above, and he offers a price for the biggest potato yield, also S4OO in gold for suitable names for his corn (17 Inches long) and oat prodigies. Only seedsmen in America growing grasses, clovers and farm seeds and selling potatoes at $1.50 a barrel. The editor urges you to try Salzer's Northern Grown Seeds, and to Send This Notice with 10 Cts. in Btam ps to John A.

Hybrids.

Great things are promised from the discovery of the English scientist, Gaston, of a new method of crossing grasses, grains and clovers by which new and surprising species are claimed to have been produced. The cross between barley and oats for Instance, It is said, results in a new and peculiar grain of permanent type, while comparatively useless plants are, by judicious crossing, made to produce valuable food substances. Probably the value of the discoveries has been overestimated by the enthusiasts who are bringing them forward. As a general rule, hybrids are more remarkable as curiosities than valuable as staple crops.

Writing Popular Songs.

“There is no explanation or theory upon which the demand for songs arises," explained a well-known song writer to a Washington Star reporter, "except that it changes from season to season. The songs which would sell a few years ag* will not bring money enough now to pay for the paper on which they are written. Indeed, publishers would decline them as a gift, and I actually know of some songs which were recently declined, though they were the work of a man whose songs were sung by nearly every ballad singer only two seasons ago. His Ide® in giving the songs away was to keep Ids name before the public, in the hope of making a big strike. When a song pays at all it pays better than any other kind of work. Publishers now want songs which are written In negro dialect. For instance, the song. ‘My Gal Is a High-born Ixidy,’ or something like it, would be grabbed up by any song publisher, while better songs would be refused. Of course, there are any number of such songs written in the hope of hitting the popular demand, but there Is a great deal of uncertainty about it. Circumstances make a song go better than the composition involved in it. An ordinary song, if first sung by one of the few leading popular singers now and then turns out to be a money-maker for a song writer, though the singer has to be paid for making a ‘go’ of it. Songs are seldom successes any more ou their own merit. Other things are necessary.”

Value of Cedar.

“Every land owner with cedar among bls timber would do well to see that none of it Is cut down to waste, for It Is a wood that Is in great demand, and the price is likely to advance rapidly," says a lumber merchant. “Florida has made millions of dollars out of Its cedar, and other States can and will follow suit, for the number of pencils manufactured is getting greater every year, and this is the only kind of wood that enn be used with any prospect of success In the process. More than half the wood cut for pencils is shipped to Germany, where more than half the world’s supply Is actually turned out, and both France and England also take large quantities. The pencil manufacturing Interest is easy to control, there being lees than thirty manufacturers In the entire world. Four or five years ago there was a load pencil trust, but finally one member broke away, and then prices were slashed in competition. More cedar wood is being exported each year, however.”

Anti-Candy Club for Children.

“I wish," said a doctor the other day as he watched a group of school children troop out of a candy store, where they had been spending their pennies, "tluit I could form a society for little folks in which each member would take a pledge to spend all his pocket money for fruit Instead of candy.” It seemed a funny way of putting it, didn’t It? But the physician was very much in earnest, and at that moment It probably occurred to him that, as children like clubs, an ant I-candy chub would be a very good one for thorn. He wanted to do two things—4o stop their eating the unhealthful sweet and to coax them to eat more fruit. An apple or a banana or an orange can usually, one or the other of them, be bought for the price of a little candy, and the fruit Is much better In every way than the sweet.—New York Times.

Couldn't Make It.

The bull that tried to butt down a bridge, and the goat that tackled an anvil, couldn’t make it, and were knocked out, bruised and bleeding. From such bruises down to pin-head blue spots they are curable, easily and surely. The men who get the worst bruises always get the best cure. They make It every time. There are right ways and wrong ways of doing things, as the bull and the goat found out. The best cure for a bruise is St. Jacobs Oil. The right way to cure is to use it and find out.
