The causes for this growth have been, In the main, prosperity, for trust or combination idea, the coal strike, and the labor movement's natural growth. The fu ture of the unions will depend, Profas sor Ripley thinks, on the continued prosperity of the country, and on tbe administration of the unions. Pusher and Pullbacka.

A name that starts terror in the heart of every Spaniard. A man of steady nerve.clear head, undaunted courage and prompt decision. Approached by a friend recently, his opin ion was asked as to the efficacy of Pcruna, the national catarrh remedy. Without the slightest hesitation he gave this remedy his endorsement. It appeared on later conver sation that Pcruna has been used in his fam ily, where it is a favorite remedy. Such endorsements serve to indicate the wonderful hold that Pcruna has upon the minds of the American people. It is out of the question that so great and famous a man as Admiral Schley could have any other rea son for giving his endorsement to Pcruna than his positive conviction that theYemcdy is all that he says it is. The fact is that Pcruna has overcome all op- Ask Your Druggist Height of the Atmosphere, Professor Boo has watched the dura tion of the blue sky after dark, and found It to continue for about an hour and fifteen minutes, and from this he shows that our atmosphere extends to a height of fully 130 miles.

The Standard Oil Company is now disbursing more money to stockhold ers than any other corporation In the world. The United State Steel Cor poration held first place aa a dividend payer previous to the reducUon in the common dividend and the conversion of preferred stock Into bonds. It now ranks second to the Standard Oil Com pany. Since January 1, 1897, the Standard Oil Company has paid to stockholders more than $275,000,000 In dividends. Of that amount John D. Rorkefillor has roccivrd more than $'.10,000,0011. Since 1801, the disburse ments of the corporation run close to $1175, OOO.WiO, or nearly four times great er than the $100,000,000 capital stock. A fair Idea of the magnitude of the dividends of the Standard Oil Com pany can ba obtained from tho fact that the Pennsylvania Railroad Com pany, within the last 57 years, has paid som' thing like $215,000,000 to stockholders, or $00,000,000 loss than the Rockefeller corporation has dis bursed in six years.
