Although by many believed to be incur­able, there is the evidence of hundreds of living witnesses to the fact that, in all its earlier stages, con­sumption is a curable

^disease. Not every : case, but a large per-• centage of cases, and ' we believe, fully D8 per cent, are cured

by Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, even after the disease has progressed so far as to induce repeated bleedings from the lungs, severe lingering cough with copious expectoration (including tubercu­lar matter), .great loss of flesh and extreme emaciation and weakness.

Do you doubt tha. hundreds of such cases reported to us as cured by " Golden Med­ical Discovery " were genuine cases of that dread and fatal disease ? You need not take our word for it. They have, in nearly every instance, been so pronounced by the best and most experienced home physicians, who have no interest whatever in mis­representing them, and who were often strongly prejudiced and advised against a trial; of •' Golden Medical Discovery," but wh<J Ijive been forced- to confess that it surpasses, ;j[n 'curative pp^erVover tii'is:. fatal malady; all 'other "medicines with which-they are acquainted.

Men and Women In New York. Th« censtig reveals some curious

facts about the distribution of New York's excess of womea. New York city has 20,000 of them; Brooklyn, 17,* 000; Albany. 5,500; Troy, 5,000:' I'tica, 3,000; Boeliester, 4,000: Syracuse, 1,100. They are all, practically, in the larger cities of the state, the one exception being Buffalo, which has 4.000 more men than wonpen. it would be inter­esting to know more about these 4.000 superfluous Buffalo men, whether they are Polacks, Italians, lake sailors, canal-boatmen, or merely lively young bachelors from the country in the western part of the state who have gone to Buffalo to seek their fortunes. New York city's business opportunities, which attract crowds of men, seem to attract quite as many women. Yet the excess of women in New York is comparatively small. The city has 45 women toe very 44 men; while Brook­lyn has 26 women to fevery 25 men. and Troy 11 women to every 10 men. Why should it happeji that'ip the suburban cpunties 'neariest.. Ne\v York ' ther'e sliould'be more men than women? It would seem that'of the population drawn by the meVrq^olis to this end of' the state the unmarried men Woultl : nearly all live in the cities, and the dwej.l.ers in the,^»bur.bs would foi: the itod.st bfe ..people with familiei.

vProfessor E. C. Mufphy of the Unv versity of Kansas writes the Ivansat Farmer as follows:

'•Some very interesting and impor­tant questions were raised by the papers and discussions on Friday the meeting of the board of agriculture. If the space in your valuable paper is not fully taken,"permit me to say a few words through it, on one of them, viz., evaporation from and percolation through soils.

"As far as I can learn, no experi­ments have been made in Kansas or in the United States to determine the evaporation from Soils or the amount of water which passes' down' thrbugh them and out of the re ach o f vegeta­tion. A Very complete set of jsucb ex­periments was. made by Mr. Chas. Greaves, near Ldndon,. England. . be­tween thie, years 18(ip,and Wliilt* tlie-atmospheric conditions are not tji.t}, same thei:^, a,s in Kansasj we may, nevertheless, learn some important fa'cte: from theuii, , v1

"Four water-tight,. tanks,- were used in- thes!Btexperiments. ; |Qne 3x3x3,feet, was filled nearly to ,the top with, ordi­nary: soil., packed, a little so as to bejn. the Condition of' ordinary 'grass land. A second one of the .same size was filled ' nearly to: 'the top of fiTtei^lUd

•§and; the other t!<Vo \y'ere:' tli^e'e' fedt tsqukre and 6h^'rf66t deep. To the bot­toms of the:"flri»t three were attached

* i'he' third1 tank' se'rVed as a' X-ain-gitngd and, from-.ifc the rainfall' on -the other three ,vvast determined.,' > Water • was: kept in the fourth .tank .aiit^ it floated on the. Lee river near by. , j^-rom it the evaporation from a.water; surface, was found. Provision- was made to catch the run-oiS from the soil and sand taiiks, 'but'there \Vas none during these fourteen years.

".Now, the water which passed down through the soil and the sand was col­lected and measured, and thus the per­colation through each was found. As all the rain which fell on the tanks was either evaporated or passed through and was measured, the differ­ence uct ween the measured rainfall and the measured percolation gave the evaporation.

"lhe annual rainfall for these four­teen years varied from lo.v»8 to 37.17 inches, the mean being inches.

"The mean percolation through soil was 7.58 inches or ^5) per cent of the mean annual rainfall.

"The mean percolation through sana was :il. 41 inches or 83 per cent of the mean annual rainfall.

"The mean evaporation from soil was 18.14 inches or 71 per cent of the mean annual rainfall.

"The mean evaporation from sand was 4.31 inches or 17 per cent of the mean annual rainfall.

"The mean evaporation from water was iiO.Ol inches or 80 per cent of the mean annual rainfall.

"The evaporation from sand was, therefore, about one-fourth that from soil, and the percolation through the former about four times that through the latter. The evaporation from water was only slightly greater than thaf. from soil.

"The evaporation from water in west­ern Kansas is about three time.* that fro n water given above, hence, for the same soil and mean annual rain­fall, we would expect the percentage evaporation from soil Uun-e to be more than 71 per cent of the rainfall, but the ra n falls more rapidly in Kansasi than in England, and hence less water is left in the soil to evaporate.

"We are apt tounder-rate or neglect evaporation loss. We dannot see the water as it passes oft' into the air. We see it as it soaks away and disappears into the soil and we strive to make reservoirs water-tight, but some peo­ple talk of building shallow pondtj for storing water, just as though evap­oration loss was nothing.

"As an example of the losses from a canal, in which no special precaution was taken to reduce them, we may mention the case of the Perry ditch, iu Clark county. The ditch is eight and one-half miles long, fifteen feet wide on top, nine feet wide on the bottom, two feet deep, and has a grade of two and one-fourth feet to the mile. When water was first admitted to it. it-was fourteen days from the time the water entered until it reached the other end. There were places along it where the up hill bank had not been constructed and the ditch widened ou; into shallow ponds, the area of which was estimated to be three acres, with an average depth of six inches. From this data we find that about ^84.0(^0 cubic feet of water entered the ditch in the fourteen days, and 1.177',00fl cubic feet were in the d'tch and ponds at the end of this time, hence, the dif­ference between these, or .Vi, 700,000 cubic feet of water, was lost by evapor­ation and percolation while the watex was going the length of the ditch for the first time. Stating this in anothei way, more than fifty ditch-lulls of water were lost before any water reached the land to be irrigated. Now, after several years of use and with the ponds cut off from the ditch, water, when let into it after being shut out for a short time, will run the length of it in seven and one half hours."

It is estimated that two years are required for the gulf water to travel from Florida to the coast of Norway.

The banks of Newfoundland are formed by the sand, earth and stone j brought from the North by the ice­bergs.

Why borne Women Do Not Marry.

A maiden woman used to attack a new science or language every year, and failing, from her lack of teacher or companion, would pile the text-books in heaps until walls of dusty volumes shut in evevv room of the house. She fell at last into a state of semi-idiocy, and wandered like a ghost around the village, jabbering scxraps of foreign tongues which she did not understand.

It is a heriditary habit in certain families for the women who have a grief to shut themselves into a single room, and remain there for ten, twenty, thirty years. Nor are the morbid fan­cies of these women always gloomy and Bad. They live sometimes in an en­chanted land-of their own.

One whom 1 know, a. woman of sen­suous temperament and motherly in­stincts. refused to marry a man whom she loved because he had gone to live in another town, and she would be forced to leave the old house and half-acre which were the center of the world to her. The courtship went on for forty years, but she was true to the house!

Another drove her lover away on the day of the wedding because she could not bring herself to change the name
