UNUSED LANDS
One-Third of Population of Union In
Original States.
Of the 80,00u,000 people m the Unit
ed States, Alaska included, about one
third live in the 13 original states, ac
cording to a statistical abstract from
the United States, to be Issued In a
few days by the department of com
merce and labor. Another third live
In the states created from the terri
tory ceded to the common union by
the original states, and the remaining
third in the area added by purchase
or annexation.
While a large share of the territory
In the United States has come under
cultivation or original ownership, the
figures show that In 1908 there were
754,895,000 acres of .unappropriated
and unreserved land, of which about
one-half was In Alaska. The total
number of Immigrants into the coun
try since 1820 exceeds 2G. 000, 000.
During the fiscal years 1905, 190C,
1907, the number averaged more than
1,000,000 a year. The receipts of the
postoffice department show an In
crease from about $1,000,000 In 1S20 to
$191,500,000 in 1908.

Immensity of the Amazon.
The Immensity of the Amazon needs
constant repetition to keep the facts
well in mind. For 1,000 miles the
least depth is CO feet, and there Is an
average depth of 160 feet. The
amount of water poured Into the At
lantic Is four times that from the
Mississippi. Its length has been stat
ed to be, In round numbers, 6,000
kilometers (3,750 miles), of which two
thirds is in Brazilian territory, the
remaining third being in Peru. Re
stricting the statement even to Brazil
ian territory, the number of tributa
ries is innumerable. Upward of 1,100
have been counted, but there are
many more smaller affluents, besides
lakes and lagoons which add their
waters by not yet defined channels to
the giant river. They are navigable
and as civilization advances, replac
ing the wilderness with productive
settlements, commerce will extend
farther and farther along the currents
of these natural highways. It Is a
modest comparison that he valley of
the Amazon is larger than that of the
Mississippi between the Alleghenles
and the Rocky mountains.

When shown positive and reliable proof that a certain"
remedy had cured numerous cases of female ills, wouldn't
any sensible woman conclude that the same remedy would
also benefit her if suffering with the same trouble ?
Here arQ two letters which prove the efficiency of Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. '
Rod Banks, Bliss. "Words are inadequate to express what
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has done for me. I
Buffered from female disease and weakness which the doc
tors said was caused by a fibroid tumor, and I commenced to
think there was no help for me. Lydia 13. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound made me a well woman after all other means had
failed. My friends are all asking what has helped me so much,
and I gladly recommend Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound." Mrs. Willie Edwards.
Hampstcad, Maryland." Before taking Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound I was weak and nervous, and could not
be on my feet half a day without suffering. The doctors told
me I never would be well without an operation, but Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound lias done more for me than all
the doctors, and I hope this valuable medicine may come into
the hands of many more suffering women." Mrs. Joseph II.
Dandy.
. We will pay a handsome 'reward to any person who will
prove to us that these letters are not genuine and truthful
or that either of these women were paid in any way for
their testimonials, or that the letters are published without
their pel-mission, or that the original letter from each did
not come to us entirely unsolicited. I
What more proof can -any one ask?
For 30 years Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound has been the standard remedy for
female ills. No sick woman does justice to
herself who will not try tfns famous medicine.
Made exclusively from roots and herbs, and
has thousands of cures to its credit.

The Romance of a Gem.
Prof. Sketchley, the eminent geolo
gist, once visited a remote mining
camp in North Queensland. His at
tention was arrested by a crystal
which lay exposed to view on a box,
and he was surprised to be told by a
miner that it was kept as a missile
ready to be thrown at a dog which
might steal some meat. The miner
responded to the professor's expres
sion of surprise by laughingly telling
him to put the stone in his pocket. He
did so, and this is the gem which,
after being cut, was pronounced to be
the largest blue topaz of the last cen
tury, and is now In the possession of
the Queensland government at their
Strand office. Philadelphia Record.
