' A French economic journal tells some
interesting facts regarding the public
debts of Europe. From 1885 to 1895,
Lhe writer says, the debts of twenty-
one European countries have increased
in the aggregate from 101,400,000,000
francs to 121,908,000,000." Most of the
increase ]s divided thus among the great
powers of the continent:
Francs.
Russia ... .,. ... 7,541,000,000
Germany,..,, 5 MESS ' France b 278,000,000
Italy .., , .,, ... 1014,000,000
Austria-Hungary,..,,. ,...1,237,000,000
! It is worthy of notice that these five
powers constitute the Triple and the
Dual Alliance, and consequently have
felt the strongest influence of the mil-
itarism of the day. While they have
added to their debts, these countries
have decreased theirs:

Italy, 12,941,000,000 francs, or 418 per
inhabitant.
I The writer makes this comment on
the figures:
It is significant that Germany and
Russia, the countries in which the great-
est effort has been made to preserve the
old regime, have increased their debts
most rapidly in the last ten years. In
both lands the new obligations have
been undertaken for future generations, 1
not in the interest of the tasks of civ- •
Llization, but for military purposes xnd t
for the strengthening of the navies."

HAVE A CHANGE,
With the advent 02 warm weather
many people feel that a "spring modi.
eine" is an absolute necessity. As a
rule, it is not always the medicine that
the system requires but a change in
the diet. '1'ho heavy, solid winter foods
should be given up for something more
easily digested, such as salads, eggs,
fish (if it can be procured) and fresh
vegetables In season, Any and all of
those ars fully as nourishing as meats,
it they are properly cooked. The sys-
tem as in need of minerals and acids
in the spring, which fresh vegetables
and fruits contain, and if used in abun-
dance will no doubt prove as valuable
and even more so than patent medicines.

lightning Sirnelt Them in the farm 1ur45
They are useless..
A despatch from. Lockport, N Y.,
says:-112any reports as to the curious
effeots and freaks of lightning are read
in the newspapers, but South Royalton
comes to the front with a unique phase
of the tricks of an electric storm. Dur-
ing the storm Tuesday night the barn
of August Jones, located near South
Royalton, was struck by lightning. A
1 neighbor who was near the place at
the time said the barn seemed surround-
ed for an instant with tongues of flame.
' They were gone in a moment. He ex-
pected to sec the building burst into
flame, but nothing of the kind hap-
Pened. The next morn]ng Farmer
Jones went into his barn to look for
marks of the lightning's course, after
!he had been told that the barn hadbeen
struck. No traces could he discover
land he began to regard the whole mat-
. iter es a hoax. But it remained for
' his horses to convince hien to the con-
trary. Ile spoke to the animals but
there was not the usual response. Not
until they saw the farmer did they
denote that they were aware of his
presence. Later in the day when he
, attempted to work the team he found
to bis utter surprise that the poor beasts
1 wore deaf as adders. lip to to -day
they had not recovered their hearing,
and it is believed that they are perma-
nently deaf.
SOME SHOE WISDOM.
A down -East shoe dealer has collect-
ed a lot of sayings concerning wear-
ing shoes. They are soulful, if not true.
The dealer quoted from his little note-
book a few of these: "Worn. on the
heel, spends a good deal ;" " Worn on
Lhe ball, spends it all ;" "Worn on the
vamp, lookout for a scamp ;" " Worn on
the Moes, spends as he goes ;" " Worn
on the side, will be a rick man's bride ;"
all of which may be taken up for just
what they are worth. When you buy
a pair of new shoes, never put them
on a shelf higher than your head, un-
less you want to tiring bad luck ; and
if you blacken them before you have bad
both shoes on you may meet with an
accident or even have a sudclsn death.
This is an old Irish superstition. The
Scottish girls believe tnat if they drop
their shoes before they are worn trou-
ble will'ensue, while a French lady los-
ing her heel is sure of somo disappoint-
ment in love, and a German mother in
the sante predicament feels that she
will soon lose one of her children. An
old sign says that if a young man is
careless of his shoe laoutg he wilt rte -
gloat his wife; but, on the contrary,
if he laces them tight he will be very
stingy in his dealiegs with her. By
the way, if a young roan is g0in9 to
see his sweetheart and glebe Ins right
toe, ho may know that he is going to
be welcome, but if he stubs his left
one he inay as well turn around. and
go home, because she does not want
to see him. Again, if his lacings keep
coming untied, his lady love is talking
or thinking about him. The young
man cannot kick at that.

A Sufferer for 18 Months tired by South
Atn4rlean It 14111"y Cltre,
For eighteen long months Mrs. J.
Hallman, wife of a well known flour
and feed merchant of Berlin, Ont„was
troubled with an affection of the kid-
neys. As illustrating how seriously
kidney trouble may develop, the pain
in Mrs. Hallman's case would become so
severe at times as to infuse fainting
spells, and it' was dangerous to have
her left alone in the house. " During
all this time," she says, ' I never knew
what a comfortable night's rest was. I
doctored, and, in fact, tried everything;
but nothing seemed to relieve me for
any length of time. I saw South Amer-
ican Kidney Cure advertised in the lo-
cal pa,per, and the case described seem-
ed to be nay complaint exactly. I pur-
chased a bottle, and relief came rn a

The Death' Rate From Heart Failur
It hardly needsa census to impress
people with great increase in the death
rate from heart failure. Evidence
meets us every day, at almost every
point—some citizen or friend dying con-
stantly from this cause. Can the pecu-
liarly effective virtues of Dr. Agnew's
Cure for the Heart be too well made
known when death' is so near with
thousands? It is a medicine that gives
instant relief from any affection of the
heart, and even in cases that medical
science has pronounced incurable it
cures. It is a most wonderful heart
specific, never failing iu success.

T115 GIANT SQUID,
A blullSttr or the Peep 111e0 Fishermen
Hare Sometime* to (amend With.
During the fishing waxen on the
Georges Banks the. beady fishermen
brave not only the mysterious fogs and
snddeu tempests, but death from fierce
and greedy monsters that inhabit the.
deep sea. The ever hungry shark and
sword -fish, rapacious, Dunning, fearless
and extraordinarily rapid of movement,
are especially dangerous to the Beller-
men. Both of these creatures ar'o,how-
ever, comparatively harmless as com-
pared with the giant squid.
This fearful monster, which has pro-
vided the foundation for manyy of the
stories of sea -serpents, is a cephalous
mollusk. Its body is soft and covered
with a leathery skin, From behind its
mouth extend eight long tentacles,with
scores of little suckere on each. By
these 11 can cling' to rocks and bold
its prey. It is also armed with a pow-
er'fut, par'r'ot -like beak, with which it
can crush the Largest shell -fish and
crusLaeea that it captures.
A 10,000 -POUND MONSTER.
Specimens of this wonderful fish that
have been caught were more than fif-
ty feet long. Members of tbe family
are kuown to exist that have attained
the almost incredible length of 150 feet,
with two tentacles, or arms, 100 feet
long. A full grown giant squid of this
kind weighs 10,000 pounds and has eyes
as large as dinner plates.
As may be readily conceived, this
great mollusk possesses tremendous
strength. It can crush a small boat
with ease, and such Is the tenacity
with which it clin4+s to any substance
upon or around which its tentacles are
thrown that they bays to be cut away
piece -meal. Woe to the fisherman
around, whose body the coils of its ten-
tacles are wound.
The suckers with which the creature
clings to its prey are like little pumps.
The suction organ issurrounded by a
bony rim. The interior is a soft mass
of flesh. When the rim is applied to
any substance the muscular action
draws back the soft flesh inside the rim,
thus creating a vacuum. Each sucker
exerts • reat strength and the energy
when all are applied is immensely pow-
erful.
