One of her worst troubles was chronic constipation of several years’ standing. “She also was passing through that most critical period in the life of a woman— change of life. In June, 1895, I wrote to you about her case. You advised a course of Peruna and Manalin, which we at once commenced, and have to say it completely cured her. She firmly believes that she would have been dead only for these won- derful remedies. “About the same time I wrote you about my own case of catarrh, which had been of twenty-five years’ standing. At times I twas almost past going. I commenced to fuse Peruna according to your instructions jand continued its use for about a year, and it bas completely cured me. | ““ Your remedies do 'all that you claim for them, and even more.

The Greatest Distance to Which It May Be Sent at Present. The statement is made by Alton D. Adams, on “The Physical Limits of Electric Power Transmission,” that “electrical energy may he transmitted around the world if the live voltage is unlimited. This follows from the law that a given power may be transmitted to any distance with constant effici- ency and a fixed weight of ccnductors, provided the voltage is increased di- Unfortu- nately, the physical conditions of pres- ent known insulating devices do not permit of such Utopian transmission. Distances of 150 miles are now prac- tically spanned by power transmissicn circuits at from 40,000 to 60,000 volts. This, however, represents the limit of present construction. One of the next steps will be the employment of an individual pole line for each wire of a transmitting circuit, as at voltage ex- ceeding the present, which may easily be attained by known methods, the sparking between wires located on the same pole, even though spaced seven . or eight feet apart, would be prohibi- tive. 3 The area of the peat bogs in Ire- land has been estimated at nearly 3,00,000 acres, with an average thick- ness of 15 feet.

ATKINSON, INDEPENDENCE, MO, Atkinson says, after five years’ experience with Peruna: . ¢* I will ever continue to speak a good word for Peruna., Inmy rounds as a travelling man I am a walking advertisement for Peruna, and have induced many people during the past year to use Peruna with the most satisfactory results.

This explains why Peruna has become so indispensable to old people. Peruna is their safeguard. Peruna is the only rem- ady yet devised that meets these cases ex- actly. Such cases canubt be treated locally; nothing but an effective, systemic remedy could cure them.

For the year 1901 only 15 persons in all Great Britain paid tax on in- comes exceeding $250,000, and the grand total of these 15 incomes was $7,500,000. As the income tax asses- sors make their inquest for large in- comes very searching the fact is es- tablished that the 15 richest Britons are worth $187,500,000. This assumes that their aggregate wealth® yields them 4 per cent per apnum. There are at least two American citizens-—John D. Rockefeller and Andrew Carnegie —each of whom is worthh more than the richest British subjects combined. And there are scores of American cit- izens whose incomes exceed the $500,- 000 a year which is the average in- come of Britain’s first fifteen. Mushrooms generally consist of 90 per cent. water, but the remaining 10 per cent. is more nutritious than bread.

Holiday Business Main Feature—in- dustrial Trade Interrupted by Annual Stock Taking. R. G. Dur & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says: Trade and specula- tion experienced the customary holi- day quiet, except in Christmas goods, which sold freely, many packing and shipping departments being still en: gaged on this class of work, which could not be completed at the speci- fied time. Industrial undertakings are interrupted in many cases by the taking of inventories while other plants are closed because fuel cannot be obtained. Orders still come for- ward freely, and the new year will open with more business on the books than ever before. Prices of commodi- ties are firmly held by the steady domestic demand, and there is. a good export movement of the leading staples. Railway earnings thus far reported for the month of December surpass last year’s by 5 per cent, and those of 1900 by 11.6 per cent. Quiet condition in the iron and steel in- dustry, unaccompanied by any sign of weakness, testify to the healthy tone and suggest a bright outlook for the coming year. Furnaces and mills will extend the season of idleness beyond the usnal time, not because orders are lacking, but in order to accumulate a moderate supply of coke. The situa- tion in regard to shipments fron Connellsville has not improved. A very large amount of business will be carried over into next year, probably mere than in any previous season. New contracts have come forward more slowly of late, mainly because of uncertainty as to date of delivery, although there are prospective pur- chasers who still anticipate better terms in 1203. Foreign pig iron is of- fered slightly below domestic guota- tions, but neither imported nor home- made iron is available for immediate use in large quantities. Independent steel mills claim that they are un- able to pay present prices for billets, which cose $31, or more, for early shipment. Reports from the South show a large increase in production, as compared with any precedidg year. The strongest department pf thig industry appears to be steel bars. New England shoe factories are in full operation and have liberal orders on hand. Quotations are firm. Leather dealings have been restricted less than usual by the holidays, shoe manufacturers coming into the mar- ket for large quantities of hemlock sole. An unexpectedly favorable fea- ture has appeared in the market for cotton goods. After a long season of stagnation in the export division, the demand for China suddenly became considerable. Domestic trade is lim- ited to immediate requirements. In woolen gcods there is a good de- mand. Woolen and wovsted dress goods are quiet but steady. Failures for the week numbered 209 in the United States, against 250 last year, and 21 in Canada, compared with 23 a year ago.

Over $200,000,000 Worth of Cotton Ex- ported Annually. A Berlin dispatch tells of a pro|os- ed “international cotton conference” to be held in that capital for the pur- pese of “encouraging cotton produc- tion in Africa by England, Germany and France” and other Euro- pean manufacturing nations. The Lon- don Times reports the Lancashire cot- ton manufacturers as eager to find a now source of supply for their raw ma- terial. British agents have been re- cently reported in Egypt studying the cotton-growing possibilities of that country. In India cotton is grown, with success—such as it is. Its staple is too short for it to become a seri- ous competitor with our Southern products. England’s earliest attempt to find a substitute for our cotton was during the Lancashire famine caused by our Civil War, when Southern ports were blockaded. It was then that In- dia became an experimental cotton country. John Bright, ridiculing the Tory idea of that time that Lancashire looms could be fed with Surat (India) cotton told of a Manchester minister who prayed the Lord to send cotton for its factories and was interrupted by an earnest voice from the pews: “But not Surat cotton, O Lord!” Indian cotton still remains an inferior article. Probably England will continue for in- definite years to come to look to these United States as she does now, for the bulk of the over $200,000,000 worth of raw cotton which she annually buys from abroad—and the rest of Europe likewise. Coal at a Cent a Pound Feared. With the advent of the twentieth week of the Pennsylvania strike do- mestic consumers of hard coal find themselves paying $12 for the ton. In some of the outlying towns dealers are demanding $14, and have very lit- tle to sell even at that price. Such places as - Yonkers, New Rochelle, Newark and Montclair are entirely without anthracite coal, and bitumin- ous prices are geing up every day. In New York Some dealers say that coal at a cent a pound is one of the winter possibilities. A fine ostrich is calculated to yield $2,500 worth of feathers. 41902-1903 is 1,552,826,000 pounds and Russian Beet Sugar Surplus. According to the report of the com- mittee of ministers, the quantity of beet sugar to be placed on the Rus- sian home market for the season of the intangible reserve 180,560,000 pounds. On the basis of particulars given out by the managers of the excise revenues for the term recently ended, and taking into consideration the area of plantations, the harvest and quality of the beet-sugar roots during the last three pericds and the existing surplus of sugar at the differ- ent factories, the total output of sugar for the above-mentioned period is es- timated at 1,155,584,000 pounds or nearly 650,000 tons.
