firom lives of suffering by its use. G. F. P. is truly a

JONES, Garland City. Ark., writes to tell what
O. P. P. did for her. She says:
«I was so afflicted with female weakness for two yean I
eould do ao work and very often was unable to dress myself.
My eyes became affected and were so bad I could not see ox*
cept on cloudy days. I have taken a course of G. F. P.
Treatment and the result was remarkable. I can do all my
work, even to washing and ironing, without becoming weary.
My eyes have become clear and my sight is completelyre*

Not Moro Than Throe
Senator Mason of Illinois when last
In New York, was asked if he thought
that Senator Morgan’s reputation of
being the longest winded speaker in
the senate was so. Said he:
"I am not certain that senatorial
courtesy will permit me to answer that
question; and, being a candidate for
re-election I will dtdge. But this I
will say: I once asked Senator Morgan
how long he could talk on a subject
he didn’t know anything about, and he
replided: Tf I didn't know anything
at all about It I don’t think I could
talk more than three days!*”
An ordinace has been prepared by
W. T. Norton of Louisville, providing
that ministers of all denominations
shall pay a license of 350 a year, and
that their salaries shall be garnisheed
tin the event of non-payment. The or-
dinance was given to a councilamn to
introduce, but he has so far declined to
■present it. Capt. Norton’s reason for
^desiring the passage of such an ordi-
'nance is that the minister# of lato
’’have been trying to butt into politics
and attempting, ^>y advancing unwise
'theories, to take a hand in conduct of
^municipal affairs.”

of opinion, in which a mistake may
easily be made. The Territorial De-
partment, however, has adopted th*
system of returns of crops actually
threshed, upon which to base their
reports. The accuracy of the reports
cannot, therefore, be gainsaid, far
they represent a compilation of actual
threshing results. In this connection,
it might be mentioned that the De-
partment is organizing a system of
growing crop returns, which will be in
operation next summer. The infor-
mation thus obtained, with estimated
acreage, will be available for business
men, banks, railway companies, and
other interests which have to discount
the future in making provision for the
conduct of their business.
The crop reports already to hand
show some remarkable cases of ab-
normal development In the Regina
district, many returns are given of
crops of wheat running from 40 to 45
bushels to the acre.
J. A. Snell, of Yorkton, threshed
28,000 bushels of oats from 450 acres,
an average of 63 bushels per acre for a
large acreage.
W. R. k’.ot her well, of Abernethy,
threshed 2,650 bushels of wheat from
a 60-acre field, an average of 53 bush-
els per acre.
In the Edmonton district, T. T.
Hutchings threshed 728 -bushel* of
wheat from a ten-acre plot, ai average
of nearly 73 bushels per acre.

oats from 60 acres of land, an average
The publication of the actual yields

something left of the estate fought
over—it was so large that the court
and the lawyers did not get it all ir
spite of the long time the case was iu
court They got a good share, ho.v
ever. The family of Arenberg live in
Belgium, but they own a snug little
duchy in Germany. The Duke of
Arenberg used to impose a toll of 20
cents on every ton of coal mined by
the Westphalia Coal company, whose
mines were in bls domains. In the
general shape-up of the Franco-Prus-
sian war and the re-formation of th’
German empire which followed, the
Duke of Arenberg and his duchy got
lost In the shuffle, and- the coal com-
pany ceased its tribute. Then the
Duke went to law.
In the good old days the robber
baron ancestors of the Duke wou’.d
have called qut their men-at-arms,
swooped down on that coal company
and hanged the president and board of
directors to the castle gates. But the
coal baron having succeeded the rob-
ber baron in these days, the Duke
went to law, and after thirty years he
has won his case.
For once the coal baron has been
downed by the descendant of the rob-
ber baron, and the Westphalian Coal
company will have to pay arrearages
of tribute to the Duke mounting to
836,000,000. The annual income of the
Arenbergs from the mines is about
81,200,000! So now they are rich, but
if the suit had gone against them they
would have been practically ruined.
That lawsuit was getting to be their
principal asset. As for the coal ba-
rons, they are In a “state of mind” and
will probably try to arrange a compro-
mise.

Aaeient Myth* About the Origin
Various Gem*.
The Indians called rock crystal
"unripe diamond,” and until the
gining of the eighteenth century India
was thought to be the only land which
produced that precious stone. It was
not, therefore, until the discovery of
India that the diamond was known to
us. Yet as far back as 500 B. C. a
“Didactic History” of precious Atones
was written, and in Pliny’s time the
supply must have been plentiful, us
he wrote: “We drink out of a mass of
gems, and our drinking vessels are
formed of emeralds.” We are also
told that Nero aided his weak sight
by spectacles made of emeralds. But
it is very difficult to determine whence
all the gems came, as discoverers took
care to leave no record. The nations
who traded in them were afraid of
their whereabouts being known, and

would not disclose any definite locale.
All sorts of myths have, accordingly,
sprung up concerning the origin of the
gems.
