C. Ayer, Lowell, Mass. The book will interest you if you are sick or weak, because it tells not what it is claimed the remedy will do, but what your neighbors and fellows testify that it has done. Will in cure you ? It has cured thousands like you. Why not you? Cost of Jingoism THE U. S. PEOPLE WILL HAVE TO SWEAT FOR THEIR FUN Washington, May 3.—How much the war with Spain will cost no one at- tempts to even prognosticate. Con- gress, by the revenue bill which passed the House last week and will probably become a law within ten days, pro- posed to put at the disposal of the ad- ministration during the next year at least $700,000,000 over and above the ordinary revenues of the government, The new revenue bill will yield at least $100,000,000 by additional taxa- ation, and it authorizes loans aggro gating $600,000,000 more. It. is not ex- pected that the President will have to borrow all this money during the first year of the war, if it should last that. long, but authority is placed in his hands, to be used if necessary. When Congress appropriated $50,- 000,000 for the national defence it was not expected that this would be more than enough to put the country in preparation for war. This amount has et bled both the W i partinent and r TNavy Den r rnent to make rap d in tl work 'f prepar•a- tisr durin th, st two •nths, and ab t $8,0t 0,000 is still avail: blo from thi -ppr6.elation. is actually paid . ut from p to date are $1 , •45,000 _ on account of the Navy .ent ,. and $2,145,000 on account of the r Department. There has been allottes to the War Department, however, over $16,000 000; to the Navy Depart- ment over $25,000,000 and to the Treas- ury Deparlrr:eut $5.000,000. WHAT THE ARMY WILL COST Money for future operations must he supplied for further appropriations, and Congress will be called upon with- in the next two weeks to vote the de- ficiencies that Will be necessary to carry the army an 1 navy along until the beginning of the next fiscal year. It is roughly calculated, however, that if the war is to last during the whole of the next fiscal year the army alone will cost something like $300.000,000. For the remainder of the present fiscal year Secretary Alger has submitted estimates footing up $34,019,997. It is probable that he will have to supple- ment this by still further estimates. The appropriation bill carries a total of over $53 000,000. As it bad been in- tended t., keep the naval bill down to abunt $28,000,000 had there been no war, fully one -halt of the total carried by the bill is in the nature of special war appropriations. Counting some minor deficiency appropriations which rave een ma e. °Tigre:: ''1 appropriated, when Secretary Alger's estimates are provided for, nearly one hundred ;ind fifteen million dollars di.eoi.ly chargeable to the war with Spain. MUST RESORT T) LOANS Though the Treasury receipts under the present revenue laws are keeping up fairly well, in view of the fact that the war scare has interfered somewhat with business, they could not he ex- pected to do more than meet the or- dinary expenses of the Government, leaving the war expenditures to be met by the proposed increased taxa- tion and by borrowing money. For the month of April the receipts fell over eleven million dollars below the expenditures, and this is approximate- ly t(re amount paid out during that month under the national defence ap- propriation. The available cash balance in the Treasury is little short of $219,000,000. As this includes the $1000,000,00c gold reserve, the fractional silver coin in the Treasury and other amounts not immediately available, the actual cash that could he drawn on for war expen- ditures would probably not exceed 505,000,000, taking into amount the necessity of maintaining a good work- ing balance in the Treasury at all times. It is therefore apparent that if the expenditures are to he promptly additional cash must be brought Treasury without delay udder at revenue bill. This meas- icrease the receipts almost e°day of its enactment, but even the most optimistic realiz3 that resort, must be had to borrowing in the near future, and it is believed that be- fore the beginning of the next fiscal year at least $100,000,000 of the popular' loan bonds authorized by the bill will 14 ebld.

The principal products of Cuba are sugar, tobacco, molasses,rum, bananas, iron ore,magnese,cedar and mahogany. The island is wonderfully fer tile. Before the war Cuba produced about 616,000 tons of sugar a year and 150.000 tons of molasses. The yearly product of tobacco was 300,000 bales. The commerce of Cuba in times of peace amounted to about $53,000,000 in imports and $100,000,000 exports. Most of the commerce is with Spain, United States and Great Britain. There are 1,000 miles of railroad in Cuba, and 4204 miles of telegraph lines doing business at 157 telegraph offices and sending yearly 462,900 me4sages. Throughout the island are large tracts of land which are still unexplor- ed, and the value of which may not be known for years. The export and import trade of Ha- vana which in 1840 amounted to nearly $26,000,J00, had in 1891 reached the sum of $81,481,078. Spain buys next to nothing in Cuba and for that little pays in depreciated silver. In 1864 the tonnage of the vessels en- tered in the various ports of Cuba was 1,100,353, while in 1891 it reached the sum of 7,772,851. Accordnig to the last census the number of sugar plantations is 1200, tobacco plantations 5,000, coffee plan- tations 160, cocoa plantations 25, graz- ing farms for horned cattle 5000, small farms 17,000, warehcuses, depots and factories, 95,000. Cuba contains 22 cities and towns. and 204 villages and hamlets, except- ing such as have been destroyed with- in the last three years. The sugar and tobacco.grown on the island are shipped chiefly to the United States. Many vegetables mature in twenty days after planting, and sugar cane has to be replanted only once in twelve years. Every house contains a modern sew- ing machine, but the plows are of air cient make. It takes a team of oxen, a' Cuban plow and a Cuban fonr days to prepare half an acre for tobacco planting. $36,000,00( represents the amount in taxes paid during 1894 from Cuba to swell the coffers of the Spanish Gov- ernment. How a person can gain a pound a day by taking an ounce of Scott's Emulsiom is hard to explain, but it certainly happens.

"I had gone to the Cornus ball, and had agreed to escort a lady home. She was also a stranger in the city, and was stopping with some friends on Bourbon street, about three blocks the other side cf the opera house. As it was only a short distance. we decided to walk. I was, of course, totally un- acquainted with the street, and when we left the lights of the opera house 1 felt very much at sea. The houses were dao k and I could not see the numbers, and it was only by''anumber that the lady could identify her board- ing place, as she had only been there once. Ahead of me was a small man. I asked him if he knew where the num- ber was. He answered very politely that he:did dot, but was going that way and wonld help me hunt. He told another man in front of him about it, and that man told some of bis friends. In a few minutes these gen- tlemen had formed an advance guard in our interest. We walked calmly be- hind, while they went in front, on either side of the street, striking matches and looking for the number. There were eight of them, and their matches would go off one after the other. It was a regular flamebeau parade. I was overcome. 'Here it is,' shouted an advance scout. We ap- proached the house rapidly, and found the eight gentlemen standing before it. It was almost with emotion that I raised my hat and thanked them tor their t-.tforts. 'Nothing at all,' they said politely, and the entire eight raised their hats and walked into the dark- ness." Why He Gave Up Cigars. WAYS OF SPENDINu MONEY WHICH GAVE HIM MORE PLEASURE. An English clergyman, who was a hard smoker, was cured of the taste for tobacco by a sudden twinge of con- science. He was sitting One day in his library, with an expensive cigar in his mouth. when the name of one of his oldest friends was announced. The visitor, when greetings had keen warmly ex- changed, confessed that he had come upon a begging errand. A story of pathetic distress was told, and an urgent appeal was made for im- mediate relief. The clergyman was a warm-hearted, generous man,rand his hand was plunged at once into Iris pocket, but he found only a few shill- ings there. He then fumbled in his desk for his check book, remarking to his friend that it was a very sad and urgent case, and that he would do what he could, but when he locked at his bank balance his face changed col- or. The account was nearly overdrawn already. "I am very sorry," he said, "I can only give you a beggar ly sum. I did not know how poor I was." When his friend had gone lie relight- ed his cigar, but it seemed to have a bitter taste, and he took out a fresh one. Before striking a match he jott- ed down on paper the price of the cig- ar, and the number which he usually smoked a day. He found that tobacco was costing him five shillings a day, and over ninety pounds a year --or about $450 in American money. The amount which he had given to his old ft iend in dire distress represented the cost of twenty days' smoking. The clergyman was an impulsive man. Instead of lighting his fresh ci- gar of the choicest brand, he threw it into the fire on his hearth. He was so deeply impressed wit h the thought that, a little self•denial on his part would have enabled hirn to help an old friend in great need that he resolved sternly never to smoke again.

A recent investigation has shown that the students oft military acad- emy in England expend enough money on cigarettes to provide for the educa- tion of forty young men too poor, to have the same advantages, The effect of tobuccc on health niay be.disputed. but no smoker can deny that smoking is a wasteful habit, and that there would be large compensations for self- denial. No Uncertain Verdict. The Ladies --lire Continually Praising Diamond Dyes. The strong assertion can be made, with- out fear of contradiction, that no other package dyes for home dyeing ever com- manded the praise and admiration of the millions as have the wonderful and power- ful Diamond Dyes. Mrs W. F. Curtis, Albany, 1'. E.T., says: "Have used Diamond Dyes for 7 years, and have always had success with them." Mrs J. II. Johnston, Manitoulin Island, Ont., says: "I have used Diamond Dyes for many years with greatest success, and like their.. better than any other matte of dye." Mrs J. Me Clelland, Surrey Centrn,B.C., says: "I have bought your Diamond Dyes tor a great many years,and they have prov- ed good and true." Mrs Chas. Leask, Arden Station, Man., "I am a farmer's wife and have us==_d lots of the Diamond Dyes in my tme;they always make old clothes look as good as new." Mrs W. J. Porter, Peterooro, Ont., says : "I have been using Diamond Dyes for years, and they do all that is claimed for them." Mrs Aubin, Sbefford Vale, P. Q., says: "Have used Diamond Dyes for many years and think they are the best; do not wish to try any other make." Mrs Chas. Gagne, St. Chrysostome,P.Q says:" Your Diamond Dyes are splendid and should be kept in every home." Mrs Chas. Lewis, Hamilton, Ont., says: "The Diamond Dyes are far ahead of other Dyes I have tried; they give the clearest and brightest colors. No wonder your dyes aro.tho most popular." A married woman named Cooper was re- moved to St. Michael's Hospital, Toronto, suffering from a dislocated shoulder and in• ternal injuries, which she said she had re- ceived by falling from a bridge coming into the city.
