Great strides have been token within
the last two years in the development of
the powers of the flying machine. Hiram
Maxim maintains that he oan now lilt 08
pounds per torso -power; but that with
improvements soon to be matured he
looks to raise this figure to 50 or 60
°pounds This would unable a machine
to take a flight of 600 or 600 miles. In
using his perfected machine, Mr. Maxim
will dispense with the railway track at
present used, and a short run over a
moderately level field will give enough
velocity to give the machine its start. As
far as landing 1s concerned. very little
shock will be felt, as the aerial naviga-
tor will touch the ground while moving
forward, and the machine will be
brought to rest by sliding on the ground
for a short distance. Mr. Maxim regards
this as the only way to make a successful
descent. If the machine were stopped in
the air and allowed to fall direotly to the
earth without advancing, the shook, as
he quaintly says, "though not strong
enough to be dangerous to life or limb,
might be sufficient to disarrange or in-
jure the machinery."

Henry Ward Beecher believed man's re-
ligious faith was coloured largely by the
condition of his health. He had said from
the pulpit that no than could hold right
views on religion when his stomach was out
of order. It is quite certain that no
preacher tan preach with effect if his head
is stuffed up with cold, or if he is a suffer-
er from catarrh. It is not surprising, there-
fore, that we find the leading clergymen of
Canada speaking so highly of Dr. Agnew'e
Catarrhal Powder, for oold in the head or
catarrh. They know the neeeesity better
that} anyone else of being relieved of this
trouble. Rev. S. Nicholls, of Olivent Con-
gregational Church, Toronto, is one who
has need this medicine, and over his own
signature has borne testimony to its benefi-
oial character.

11othh ig Could Make Him Happy Again
When She Waa Taken Away.
There was, until very recently, in one
of the many city establishments in whtoh
small animals and birds are sold, a pair
of monkeys of remarkable intelligence,
says the N. Y. World. From their prison
stage and oage they entertained large
audiences of spectators as aorobats. The
endearing affection which they cherished
for eaob other was an example for some
do'mestiio circles of to -day. Their con-
sideration one for the other was most
pronounced, while a tender care, regard
and oonstenoy was strikingly shown.
A short time since 1 paid another visit
to the place. A customer entered. His
object was the purchase of one only of
the pair whose winning ways had en-
deared them to the hearts of the many
who knew and loved them. The desired
one of the two was chosen, chained and
paid for by the purchaser. I would have
eagerly given ten times the price paid
could I have arrested that sale and sepa-
ration. Language could but feebly ex-
press the scene which followed. I watch-
ed the features which were but a mo-
ment before radiant with joyous oontent-
menty electrically changing to despair,
more and more pronounced as the barter
and sale was being consummated which
would forever separate them. I could hot
at the last observe the conduct of the one
purchased, It having been removed under
Dover, but the emotional demonstrations
by the remaining one were touching to
a painful degree. Even the strong iron
bars which framed the cage . were taxed
by the animal's furious efforts.
Three days subsequent to this my in-
terest in behalf of the deserted one
prompted me to again visit the place.
The swinging "trapeze," which had
oontributed so abundantly to the enjoy-
ment of the little couple, remained
motionless Food and fruits of delicate
and tempting flavor were untouched but
crouched in a corner of the cage was the
emaciated form of the little mourner al-
most lifeless crushed by the burden of
despair.

Wealth In the Last Quarter Century.
'There are perhaps 8,000 dealers in dia-
monds In the world, who carry in their
stook stones worth, perhaps, 1350,000,000,
according to the Jewelers' Review.
It is estimated that during the last
twenty-five years the American people
have paid duty on at least $180,000,000
worth of diamonds and other precious
stones. In 1893 alone they imported $16,-
203,663 worth, but in 1894 there was a
falling off, or.ing to hard times, and the
total was only $4,850,985.
This does not include uncut diamonds,
of which we imported more than $1,000,-
300 worth in 1892, $800,000 worth in 1893,
and $566,267 worth in 1894. During the
last twenty-two year we have imported
$7,087,817 worth of uncut diamonds In
1880 we imported only $129,000 worth of
uncut diamonds, and in 1889 only $250,-
000 worth. The large increase of late
has been due to the foot that a number
of American jewelers have opened dia-
mond cutting establishments. There
are now fifteen establishments in the
United States"whfoh employ from one to
wen ty men.
Thore are 4,000 manufacturers in Eu-
rope and about 200 in the United States,
who employ between 7,000 and 8,000 per-
sons as nutters and polishers. Perhaps
28,000 people are employed. in the dia-
mond mines throughout the world. We
read that in past centuries 00,000 people
were working 1n some single Indian
mines at one time, and perhaps that
statement is not exaggerated, since by
the aid of modern machinery one miner
can now accomplish as much as twenty
who used the primitive methods. The
total value of all the diamonds In the
world undoubtedly exceeds $1,000,000,000.
During the last quarter century ten
tons of diamonds, selling for more than
$300,000,000 uncut, and $600,000,000 after
cutting, have been added to the world's
wealth -an amount more than twice as
great as the valve of diamonds known
to exist before. This vast value is in the
most concentrated portable, and orna-
mental form, and more convertile than
anything except gold and silver. Its
accumulation has built up cities likes

A Turfman's Tale.
A New Jersey man told me a good
story the other day on one of our fore-
most turfman, a man whose name is per-
haps printed oftener than that of any
other connected with the racing in
Americasays a writer in the Now York
Press. A good many years ago this turf-
man, who was not then deep in the
racing business, arrived in Jersey City
with a trainload of mustangs from the
plains of 'Texas. He knew nothing of
the laws of the state, nor o1 the ordin-
ances o1 the city. He knew that he
wanted to sell his mustangs, and thought
.the best way to do it was to sell them at
auction. Being somewhat gifted in
speech, he determined that ho would bo
bis own auctioneer. The sale started
out well. Fair prices wore realized.
Soddenly it woe interrupted by police-
men, who demanded a viow of our
friend's license.
"License?" he said, amazed. "What
license? I haven't any license of any
kind."
"Well, you can't sell horses in this city
without a Domes. You'll have to come
along. No monkey business with us "
01 course, ho went along, bit was
luoky enough to find a friend at court (a
lawyer who went bail for him in the sum
of $60. Then the lawyer said:
"A license costs $250, You are ander
bonds. Go ahead and finish your sale.
oolaeot your money, and skip out. Give
me *60 so settle the forfeited bond, and
you are 11'00 ahead of the game."
It was done accordingly. The turfman
and his friend met in the St. James
Dotal lately and laughed ove the joke.
What She Wanted.
Although poor, he loved the girl' with
tropical warmth and Oriental splendor.
"Darling," he whispered to her in the
fervor of his soul, "there is nothing you
could ask of me that I would net will-
inly grant."
"Wen, Charlie," she responded, "give
me a chance to marry somebody who has
a little -just 'a little bit -more money
than you have; that's a good boy." •

A SUFFERING ARMY.
Borne Down by s erelenttess Foe.
The great army of sufferers from vari-
ous rheumatic conditions joyfully wel-
come Chase's K. & L. Pills because the
foster parents of their aches and pains
are the Kidneys, which, on account of a
diseased condition, are unable to relieve
the blood of uric acid poison, which is
deposited in the joints, producing on the
first provocation irritating aches and
pains in the bones, joints and muscles.
I he reason that Chase's Pills relieve and
cure is their wonderful power in restor-
ing degenerate Kidneys to a perfect and
natural condition. without which the sys-
tem is supplied with blood teeming with
poison that adds fuel to the fire of rheu-
matic complaints, demoralising the en-
tire system and rendering it liable to a
complication of diseases terminating in
dropsy, diabetes, or Bright's disease. A
pleasant feature of these Pills is that.
while most Kidney remedies encourage
-onstipation, Chase's relieve and cure it.
In nearly all rheumatic attacks there
exists constipation of the bowels, which
is easily over -come by Chase's Kidney.
Liver Pills; in fact, they are a perfect
cure for constipation. This is endorsed
by Edward Garrett, editor and proprietor
of the Bradford, Oot., Weekly Mkt",
and thousands of others. One pill a dose.
