T.'Tobacco^ Umoil the Only latin Country In Europe That Is Growing. Italy is almost the only Latin coun- jy in Europe which shows a steady rrowth of population. France has for rears been on the decline, but latest itatistics show it is nearly stationary, :he death and birth rates being nearly iqual. The returns of the recent cen­ sus in Italy are now published and ".hey show a gratifying though sot ex- iraordinary growth of population in the peninsula, despite the large emi­ gration and the hard times which have prevailed there in late years. In round numbers the population of Italy is now 32,500,000. That is an increase Df more than 4,000,000 in the last 20 years. That is not a large increase, but it is, on the whole, satisfactory. It is not, of course, the whole increase Of the Italian race. In these 20 years more than 2,000,000 Italians have emi­ grated to other lands. The actual growth of the race has, therefore, been more than 6,000,000 in 20 years, or more than 1 per cent a year. This does not, however, confirm the lommon idea that the Italians are an sxceptlonafty prolific race. The growth jf other nations has been proportlon- itely more rapid. That of France has not been. That of Russia has been ef­ fected by conquest and wholesale an­ nexation. That of the United States has been due to enormous immigra­ tion, as well as to a high birth rate. But while Italy in the 19th century in- :reased from 16,000,000 to 32,500,000, or snly a little more than doubled. Great Britain grew from 16,000,000 to 41,000,- >00 and Germany from 24,000,000 to 50,000,000, and each of these countries suffered as great a loss from wars as [taly and a considerably greater loss through emigration. CAUSED A TEMPEST IN A TEAPOT. A Prohibition Dlsru-s'on That Almost Overtaxes Credulity. A girl in Maine, who is a church member, recently officiated at the ceremony of naming her uncle's yacht, and, being an ardent Prohibi­ tionist, used a bottle of water instead of a bottle of wine. Curiously enough, however, the church of which she was a member took the view that the bot­ tle of wine she didn't use probably made some weak young man drunk, whereas it would have harmed nobody had she used it in the ceremopy. Therefore it voted to censure her for putting temptation in the path of a young man. A delightful touch to this story, which is not told as a Joke, though "it reads like one, is that the young woman successfully appealed from the action of the church on two grounds--first, because out of the mil­ lions of bottles of wine in the world the church had failed to designate, the particular bottle which she might have used, and, second, the church had not proved either that the wine was drunk by a young man or that a young man was drunk by the wine. In rebuttal she asserted that the wine was drunk by an old man, who, be­ ing a seasoned Prohibitionist, was therefore able to stand it; and she challenged the church council to dis­ prove her assertion. A Heartrending Sight. Although we may read the amount in histories, also stories about the heartrending scene's at the time o? the Commune in Paris, yet it is sel­ dom so forcibly brought to our views as in the personal reminiscences of John Russel Youlag, issued under the title of "Men and Memories." Mr. Toung says: "I saw a fair young woman walking between two soldiers and followed by a larg* crowd crying, 'Shoot her! Shoot her!' She was comely, sedate, her pale lips tightly set, with no color in her cheeks, but firm, calm and scornful. She had gone up to an of- fleer and fired at him. Yet there was no murder in her face--only the fa­ naticism and passion that seemed to have swept over this strange, fasci­ nating people--perhaps revenge for some dead lover. Well, those pale lips will never again be kissed in love and tenderness, for as I left her she was marched Into the place and shot. JBarton^Sailor By Fr«.nk H. Sweet. (Copyright, 1808, by Daily Story Pub. Co.) Did All He Could. In 1844, while Florida was still a ter­ ritory, a man who had been a Judge in one of its circuits, canvassed one of the senatorial districts as a candidate for the territorial senate, and was cheered by the promise of the little French­ man, living in one of the counties in the district, to do "all he could" for him. Not a solitary vote, however, was cast for the judge in that county, and he seized the first opportunity thereafter to tax the Frenchman to false promises. "Sar," said the Frenchman, very much offended, "I tell you no lie; I travel over dis country three, four, five day, and I say to every man, 'Vil you vote for my friend, ze Judge?' and he say, 'No, I vil be durned if I do.'" "But," said the judge, "you did not even vote for me yourself!" "No, judge; when I come back I shut myself up in mine own room, and I 'lectioneer myself two day--but I not git my own consent to vote for you." Oldest American Gold Mine* The oldest American gold mine is said to be the Calhoun mine in Lump* kin county, Georgia. It was discov­ ered by whites in 1828. The In­ dians had know* of it before that time, Senator John C. Calhoun once owned and operated it and it received its name from him. It subsequently passed out of his hands and was do­ nated to an agricultural college. From that time until recently It was worked in a desultory way. Lately It came into the possession of a Pa­ cific coast miner, who has pushed the work and the placer deposit Is re­ turning him a clear profit ranging from |200 to 1300 per month as the result of the labor of six men. A re­ cent clean-up of thirty-five . days' run produced $966.93 in fine gold and |56 worth of nuggets, all of which cost $376 for labor, leaving a net profit of 1646.93.

The great vessel was moving for­ ward at quarter speed, the bows only breaking the water into small rip­ ples which gurgled along, her sides and quickly smoothed out astern. All around was darkness, thick, impene­ trable, oppressive, not even the faint twinkle of a star relieving its envel­ oping sameness. On the upper deck stood the cap­ tain with several of his olttcers. Near them a sailor was winding the frayed end of a halyard. The captain held a night glass, and from time to time raised it to his eyes, but only to lower it quickly and Im­ patiently. In that darkness the glass was of little use. For an hour they had been running at slow speed, cautiously, and with eyes and ears strained, as though waiting for something to slip out of the darkness or for some signal or sign. But still there were only sea and the black wall of silence; as far as appearances went th&y might h^ve been a thousand miles from land. Another ten minutes, and the strain grew more tense. All over the ship were eyes watching and ears listen­ ing, on the lower decks, through the ports, the pilot's window, from the shrouds even. The secret was an open one, and all the ship knew that close on the starboard here, almost touch­ ing them perhaps, was a low, hostile shore, where were eyes as vigilant and keen as their own, and that, were their presence known or suspected, the mission of the ship would be frus­ trated. "If only they would show a light or do something to indicate their where­ abouts," the captain muttered for the twentieth time. "But they don't know we're here, sir," observed one of the younger of­ ficers. . "Oh, I know they don't, of course," testily. "If they did, they would. But what are we to do? We've got to get away from here before daylight." "Maybe a boat " began another officer; but the captain cut him short. "Wouldn't do at all under the cir­ cumstances," he declared, "the shore may be ten rods away, and it may be two miles, and we don't know the ene­ my's position. A boat would make "more or less noise, and in a haphaz­ ard search for a landing would be sure to be heard. Captain Blxby is of course at his old camp on the other side of the river, a mile in the inter­ ior. If he could show a light for an Instant, we could make dircctly for it, some one slip from the boat near the shore and steal through the under­ growth to the camp. A few seconds would acquaint Bixby with the fact that Gen. Clay Is fifty miles up the coaBt, marching toward him, and be­ fore morning he could have his men and the women and children well on the way toward safety. So far the enemy have counted on starvation as an easy and effectual means of sub­ jugation. Neither they nor Bixby suspect the General is even in the country. But by to-morrow night the enemy's scouts will discover his pres­ ence, and then well, it will be a quick rush and another day of horror for the people who read the news­ papers. This sort of foe doesn't know the meaning of civilized warfare." The sailor looked up from the hal­ yard he was winding. "I'm a good swimmer, sir," he said, significantly. The captain regarded him keenly for a moment, then shook his head. "You don't understand these South­ ern waters," he answered. "They are full of sharks. You wouldn't live to get a boat's length from the ship." "But there are many lives in dan­ ger over yonder," the ,sailor urged, "and some of them are women and children. I'm only one. Perhaps I might get through. If I did, I'd show a light for one instant to let you know that everything was all right and that you could put on steam to join Gen. Clay and hurry to meet us." But the caytain again shook his head decisively. "There's isn't a chance of succeeding," he said; "if there were, you should go. But I don't feel that I have the right to sacrifice a life uselessly. No, we will cruise back and forth until two hours before daylight; then, if no means have been found to communicate with Bixby, we will put on full steam to Join Gen. Clay. If we can get a re- enforcement of a few hundred men, we will hasten back and effect a landing. We may be in time to help Bixby that way, either by driving the enemy back or holding them in check until the General arrives." The sailor did not answer. And ap­ parently he thought the halyard suf- 8 "I'm a good swimmer, sir," lie said significantly. ficiently wound, for as the captain ceased speaking he walked aft. But he did not seek other work; instead, he slipped down to the lower deck and continued aft until he found a place near the rail where he was alone. It took but a moment to fasten the end of a rope into one of the rail rings, test it, and drop the other end overboard. It was not long enough to reach the water, he knew; but he had no time to seek another. However, it was arm shorter than 1M supposed, for when he reached the end of it, op­ posite a circle of light which came from one of the ship's port holes, he found the water many feet below. But he was too expert a diver and swimmer not to know how to enter the water from that distance without making a splash. Letting himself hang rigidly at full length, with his toes bent downward and close together, to form a point, he released the rope and shot into the water like a wedge, leaving scarcely a ripple upon the surface. When he rose he was twenty yards from the vessel. Presently he glanced over his shoul« der at the few lights about the ship's decks, and the two or three that showed through her ports, wondering if they would be significant to the When he rose he was far from the vessel. enemy. But he decided that they would not. Most of the ship's lights had been extinguished, and the few re­ maining would doubtless be thought lights of their own boats or of some wandering fisher or sponger. An hour later the captain and his officers were at the same place on deck, still anxious and undecided. Suddenly one of them uttered a low exclama­ tion and pointed Into the darkness. "Look yonder at that light," he cried, "waving as though it might be a sig­ nal. I wonder what it can be not Captain Bixby." "No," said the captain with puz­ zled speculation In his voice. "It's not far enough away. There, it has disappeared." Then a sudden, com­ prehending, exultant ring came into his voice as he demanded: "Where's that sailor, Barton? Some of you go and find him, quick!" Two of the officers hurried away. Ten minutes later they returned. "We have had the entire vessel searched, sir," one of them reported, "but Bar­ ton Is not to be found anywhere. He must have fallen overboard." "Dropped overboard, you mean," said the captain dryly. "He's slip­ ping through the underbrush toward Bixby's camp by this time. Go tell the engineer to put on all steam. We'll get to Gen. Clay as quick as we can now." SHAKERS GAVE HIM THE TURKEY. How a Deacon Explained His Possession ot a Fine Bird. Walter Camp, the athletic peace­ maker and sporting expert, enlivened a recent banquet of "The Yale Daily News" by telling how a deacon friend of his deceived by telling the truth. The deacon's home was In Lebanon, not far from the Shaker community. A couple of days before Thanksgiving the deacon had been allured into a raffle, where he had enjoyed splendid luck with the dice and won the prize turkey. He carried it home with many misgivings, as he dreaded the searching questions of his wife. She kept demanding how he had chanced on such a fine bird, knowing well that he was too careful of his money to have spent it for a family treat. "Well," said the deacon finally, "I'll tell you how I got it The shakere gave it to me." "THE WHITE MANS BURDEN." Colored Trooper In the Philippines Credited with Witty Remark. Peter MacQueen, the Boston lectur­ er, whose fund of anecdotes appears to be as limitless as his travels and experiences, tells the following story of a bit of humor which flashed out on the firing line in the Philippines. "A colored trooper, whose horse had been shot under him in. one of the skirmishes near Manila, passed me on his way to the rear. He was car­ rying his saddle and the entire outfit, including his rifle, on his back, and was perspiring heavily in the hot siin. " 'That's quite a load you've got there,' said I as he reached me. " 'Dat's wot it are, boss,' said he, grinning. 4I tell you, wot, boss, this yar carrying of the "white man's bur­ den" ain't no easy job.'-"--New York Tribune. The Lack of a Greenhorn. Down on the Wenham goif course, a few weeks ago a new member was playing around the links for the first time. It was really his first serious effort to play golf. He made a pretty good strike-off from an elevated tee across a valley to the top of a hill about seventy-five^ yards beyond. Thinking to have a little practice across the valley, he struck his ball back toward the green beside the tee whence he had previously struck off. The ball sailed gracefully over the hill, and to bis inexpressible surprise, the player heard it go "kerchunk" into the hole on the green. He had struck a ball seventy-five yards and landed it In the hole. Probably tew players ever did such a thing, and this player says he does not expect ever to do it again if he plays golf for a quarter of a century. It was "the luck of a greenhorn."--Boston Herald. $33.00 TO PACIFIC COAST Chicago & North-Western R'y; dur­ ing the months of March and April $30.00 from Chicago to Helena, Butte, Anaconda, Ogden and Salt Lake City; $30.60 Spokane; $33.00 Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, Ta- coma, Vancouver, Victoria and a large number of other points.

U. headquarters, at Galesburg, 111., was for ten Tears one of the leading women there Her husband, when living, was first President of the Nebraska Wesley an University at Lincoln, Neb. In a letter written from 401 Sixty-seventh street, W., Chicago, 111.. Mrs. Fleharty 6ays the following in regard to Peruna: "Having lived a very active life as wife and working partner of a busy minister, my health failed me a few years ago. I lost my husband about the same time, and gradually I seemed to lose healtn and spirit. My daughter is a confirmed invalid, and we both felt great need of an invigorator. "One of my neighbors advised me to try Peruna. A bottle was immediate- ly secured and a great change took place in my daughter's as wet! as in my own health. Our appetites im­ proved very greatly, the digestion seemed much helped, and restful sleep soon Improved us, so that we seemed like new women. "I would not be without Peruna for ten times its cost."--Mrs. Anna fi. Fleharty. What used to be called female diseases by the medical profession is now called pelvic catarrh. It has been found by experience that catarrhal diseases of the pelvic organs are the cause of most cases of female disease. Dr. Hartman was among the first of America's great physicians to make this discovery. For forty years be has been treating diseases peculiar to women, and loug ago he reached the conclusion that 4 woman entirely free from catarrhal affection of these organs would not be subject to female disease. He therefore began using Peruna for these cases aDd found it so admirably adapted to their permanent cure that Peruna has now lie- come the most famous remedy for female diseases ever known. Everywhere the women are using it and praising it: Peruna is not a palliative simply; it ctires by removing the cause of female disease. Dr. Hartman has probably cured more women of female ailments than any other living physician. He n.akes these cures simply uy using and recommending Peruna. Mrs. E. L.
