The editor of a Leipzig paper 1ms gone to Jail for six months for criticiz ing soiiio kings of Snxony who hud been dead several hundred years. The nnper will not suspend publication, how ever, as tho editor Is merely a person employed to serve In prison tho sen tences which may he Imposed for what the paper prints. The first object of physical methods should bo to straighten and expand the body. Tho world may, In a broad, gen oral way, be divided Into two groat rlasscs the erect and tho luerect, the Ktrong and tho weak. The epoch mak ers, tho Oromwolls, Lulhcrs, Napoleons, Wellingtons, Wushlngtons and Web sters, have been men ninriced oy a straight spine and n broad, high, deep chest. Tho mastered millions, tho do- Xonted ones, have been tho inorect Germany's now tariff, which went Into effect on March 1, Increases tho duty on wheat Hour from ono dollar nnd flfty-tlvo cents to four dollars a bar rel, and the duty on wheat from twen ty-threo to forty-nlno cents a bushel, Similar Increases are mado on tho duty ou other commodities. This duty may be reduced by treaty. In order to glvo time for the negotiation of a treaty with America making tariff-concessions on German goods In return for German concessions, tho Gcrmnn chancellor has secured tho passage of a 'law which 'postpones for sixteen months tho Iovy exorbitant duties on foodstuffs from this couutry, The suspicion that a Brooklyn school tlrl killed herself becauso aho had boon threatened with punishment for using fdang may or may not be well founded. It Is unquestionable, however, that among school children as well as else where the use of slang Is far too prev alent There aro some Hlang words which are not only unobjectionable hut also decidedly useful nnd which may profitably be Incorporated Into tho standard vocabulary of the language. Not a few of our words which now en- oy unchallenged standing had their origin In slang. Unfortunately, there are still more slang words and phrase which serve no useful purpose, but which are simply vulgar and offensive, If not actually Indecent or profane. Tho discouragement anil suppression of these would be a greater service to tho language than the elimination of a few superfluous loiters in orthography. A German Investigator has been ex amining the relation between the pre vailing rate of wages In various sec tions of the country and the amount ot crime, and has reached some very lin porant conclusions which are published In the Herlln Die Neue Holt. He first gives a table showing thirty-six dis tricts, which aro arranged according to tho proportion of criminals to legally resixHislble persons In each district. Tho table gives the proportions In fig ures and also compares mis propor tlon with the lowest average dally wage. From his table: "It appears that tho ten districts which make the best show ing, with a single exception, have th-i best, wage llguros. Among the thirteen districts of average criminality novo have relatively good day wages, and among the thirteen districts wiucn make the worst showing Herlln Is tho only district which has a relatively good dally wage. However, the high criminality of Herlln Is due to condi tions which have nothing to do with wages, in fact, those persons wno arc. employed in lteiiin and In reference to whom, therefore, the dally wage may bq considered, show no high criminal aver age. Hut It Is only natural that Herlln with ItH exceptional opportunities for oiinio should bo a groat center of at traction for the criminal classes." After examining the general criminal statis tics the writer considers the special de partment of theft, and his tables hero show the conditions even more striking ly. Out of fourteen provinces the six which show tho highest criminal record are those In which the day's wage M the lowest, and the reverse Is equally true. That Is, tho higher the wages, the less tho criminality. "These tig; tires show how all other causes of crime fade before the gloat cause tho social misery." It seems a curious thought that tho supremacy of Western civilization the ascendency of tho wheat-eaters over the rice-eaters may ultimately depend upon tho discovery of some cheap proc ess of producing nitrates; but so emi nent an authority as Sir William Ram say Is sponsor for tho statement. More thnn five years ago Sir Williams Crookes declared the population of tho world to bo Increasing so rapidly that In a short time the supply of wheat would bo lnsulllelent. Since then prog ress has boon made in several experi ments directed toward Increasing tho world's harvest of wheat. Nevertheless, many scientific men feel that a wheat famine within a few generations is among the possibilities. Efforts townrd averting or postponing this condition aro directed: First, toward Increasing the acreage a process which is self- limited; secondly, toward Increasing the yield per acre by improving tho seed and selecting that which is best suited to tho locality where It Is to bo planted: thirdly, toward Increasing tho crop by feeding tho plants more gener cusly with nitrogen through alternation with nodulo-produclng leguminous plants a process developed by tho United States Department of Agrictil biro ; anil fourthly, by tho mnnufneturo of nitrates. For years tho supply of nltraies has como from Chile, but that sourco Is noarlng exhaustion. Tho sew age of cities would supply enormous quantities If thero could bo found somo method of saving anil applying it which would not endanger public henlth. It Is estimated thnt eighty million dollars' worth of fertilizer goes annually to wasto In tilts wny in Eng land alone. Tho artificial manufacture, or rnthor tho fixation, of nitrogen looks to tho air as tho great sourco of supply. Rut the processes now In uso aro com plicated and expensive. Many patents havo been Issued. Ono of tho latest plants is that nt Svaelgfoss, Norway, in which a waterfall of thirty thousaiu horse-power has been utilized to gen erato electricity, by which nitrogen Is taken from tho air nnd absorbed by 11 mo. Tho resulting calcium nltrato is a powerful fertilizer.

It af fects tho bowels becniwe white broad Is nearly all starch, and starch is digest ed in tho intestines, not In the stomach proper. Up under the shell of the wlient ber ry Nature lias provided a curious de posit which is turned into diastase when It is subjected to the saliva and to the pancreatic juices in the human rntestlncs. Tills diastase is absolutely necessnry to digest starch and turn It Into grape sugar, which is the licit form ; but that part of the wheat berry makes dark Hour, nnd tho modern miller cannot readily sell dark flour, so Nature's val liable digester Is thrown out and tho human system must handle tho stnrch as best it can, without the help ttiat Nnturc Intended. Small wonder thnt appendicitis, peri tonitis, constipation, and all sorts of trouble exist when wc go so contrary to Nature's law. The food experts that perfected Grape-Nuts Food, knowlug these facts, mnde uso in their expert ments of tho entire wheat and barley. Including all the parts, nnd subjected them to moisture and long continued warmth, which allows time and the proper conditions for developing tbu diastase, outside of the humnn body. Iu this way the starchy part Is trans formed into grape-sugar in n perfectly nntural manner, without the use of chemicals or any outsldo Ingredients The little spnrkllng crystals of grape- sugar can bo seen on tho pieces ol Grape-Nuts. This food therefore Is nnt urally pro-digested and its use in placfl of bread will quickly correct tha trou bles that have been brought nbout by tho too free uso of starch in the food, and that is very common in the human raeo to-day. The effect of eating Grape-Nuts ten dnys or two weeks and the dlscontio unnco of ordinary white bread, la verj marked. Tho user will gain rapidly I strength and physical and nieutu; i.nHi There's a reason." THE "MOB OF '48. When tho dlRturbnnces of 18-18 broko out In Prussia, tho King, Frederick William IV., issued proclamations not unlike many which havo been given out by tho present Czar of Russia. They de nounced those who protested against the old state of affairs find urged u con stitution, as "a band of miscreants, mostly foreigners," says Carl Schurz In McCltire's Magazine, and Informed "my dear Rerllners" that he would never grant a constitution. Th actual fighting, however, when for days his troops took barrier after bar rier, only to bo opposed nfter each us resolutely half a block further down the street, soon changed his attitude, and he aniiouceil concessions. Tho troops were sent from the city. When the soldiers had marched away, from all parts of the city solemn and silent processions moved toward tho royal palace. They escorted the bodies of those who had fallen in tho battle. The bodies of the slain were borne aloft on litters, their gaping wounds uncov ered, their heads wreathed with laurel and Immortelles. So tho procession inarched Into the inner courtyard of tin; palace. Tho litters were placed In rows on the courtyard floor, and round them stood tho multitude of men with pallid faces, begrimed with powder, smoke and blood, many of them still carrying tha weapons with which they had fought during the night; nnd between their, women and children bemoaning their dead. The king was loudly called for. I la appeared in an open gallery, pale and dejected, by Ills side the weeping queen. "Hat on'!" the multitude shouted, and tiie king took off his hat to tha dead below. Then a deep voice among the multitude intoned the old hymn, "Jesus, melne Zuverslcht," "Jesus, my Refuge," in which all Joined. Th chorus finished, the king withdrew, tho corpses were lifted up again, and the procession moved away in grim solem nity. It was a terrible humiliation to the crown; at the same time a pointed an swer to tho king's address In which tho fighters had boon denounced as a band of miscreants. Ilnd there been such among them, Frederick William IV. would hardly linve survived that mo ment when ho stood before them alono' nnd defenseless and they fresh from th field of blood, with guns still in their hands. Rut at that moment their cry was not "Death to the king!" nor "Down with royalty!" but "Jesus, my ,Refiigc!" THE GREAT AMERICAN HOG. Then; In (.rent l'rortt In IlrccilliiK on ii I,nrK; Son its The possible profit that may result from Intelligent hog breeding on a large scale Is worthy of serious thought on the part of fanners, says Farming. With the right conditions of food supply and market tho two important factors it may prove to be tho very tiling' that the farm is best adapted to. Tho hog has always been a "fixture" on American farms. The early settlers raised u few that lived on the refuso of the garden, dairy and kitchen, and in turn provided tho family with meat during the winter. Tho modern "Amer ican hog" supplies, in his various prod ucts, ninny of tho wants of tho civil ized world, not only the hams, pork, lard, bacon, but also illuminating and lubricating oils, combs, brushes but tons, knife bandies and various kinds of ornaments. The hog is really ono of the farm er's most profitable crops and is worthy of more attention; ho Is useful to tho dairyman because lie will cat tho by products of tho dairy; he is useful to the grain farmer becauso ho will con vert tho grains and grasses of tho farm Into money; so from either standpoint ho will show a pro tit. Tho more caro you devote to him the better he will pay you. Ono must get the idea out of his head that anything Is good enough for a hog; tho fact Is that nothing Is too good for blm. Yl'a.nhilny.

KIDNEYJROUBLES Increasing Among Women, But Sufferers Need Not Despair THE BEST ADVICE IS FREE Of all the diseases known, with which the female organism in afflicted, kidney disease is the most fatal, and statistics show that this disease la on the increase among women. Unless early nnd correct trcatmontis applied tho patient (seldom survives when once the disease is fastened upon her. We believe Lydin 13. Pinkhnm'a Vegetable Compound is the most effi cient treatment for chronic kidney troubles of women, and ia tho only med icine especially prepared for this purpose. When a woman is troubled with pain or weight In loins, backache, frequent, painful or scalding urination, swelling of limbs or feet, swelling under tho eyes, an uneasy, tlrod feeling in tho region of the kidneys or notices a sediment in the tirlno, she should lose no time in commencing treatment with Lydin B. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, as it may bo the means of saving her life. For proof, read what Lydia T3. Pink ham's 'Vegetable Compound did for Mrs. Sawyer. " I cannot express tho terrible suffering I had to endure. A derangement of tho female organs developed norvous prostration and a sorious kidney trouble. The doctor attended me for a year, but I kept getting worse, until I was unablo to do anything, and I made up my mind I could not live. I finally decided to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound as a last resort, and I am to-day a well woman. I cannot praise it too highly, and I tell every Buffering woman about my case." Mrs. Lmma Sawyer, Conyers, Ga. Mrs. Pinkham gives free advice to women. ; address iu confidence, Lynn, Mass, Powdered borax and pulverized alum mixed and sprinkled on pantry shelves before putting the papers on. wi'l keep ant? away. It is much bettor to have plastered walls painted than papered. Paint san be washed occasionally and is really more economical than paper. Equal parts of boiling water and strong vinegar used with a sponge to wa;i calciminod walls will cut tho calcimine and prepare tho wall for papering. Iron stains can be removed from marblo by applying a mixture ol wine and oxalic acid and washing oft with warm water within a few minutes. If the finger nail3 aro brittle and break easily; rub vaseline on and around them after washing them. It will prove very beneficial. Hard water should not be used foi bathing. A little borax or cornnieal added to hard water will soften it. It is easy enough to please a woman if you know how, but the trouble is in knowing'how. Treating Wrong Disease. Many times women call on their family physicians, suffering, as they Imagine, ono from dyspepsia, another from heart disease, another from liver or kidney disease, nuothor from nervous exhaustion or prostration, anothor with pain hero and thero, and in this way thoy all present nlike to themselves nnd their easy-golna and indifferent, or over-busy doctor, sep arate and distinct diseases, for which ho, assuming them to bo such, prescribes his pills and potions. In reality, they arc all only symptoms caused by some uterine disease. Tho physician, Ignorant of tha cause 01 suiiennir. encourages iuib prac tice until largo bills aro mado. The suf fering patient ffOtB no bettor, but probably worse, by reason of' the delay, wrong treatment and consequent complications. A proper medlclno liko Dr. Plorce's Fa vorite Proscription, directed to the causa would havo entirely removed the disease, thereby dispelling all thoso distressing symptoms, and instituting comfort In stead of prolonged misery. It has been well said, that "a dlseaso known ia half cured." , , Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is a scientific medicine, carofuliy devised by an experienced and skillful physician, nnd adapted to woman's delicate system. It is lniiilo of native medicinal roots and Is perfectly harmless In its effects in any condition of the system. As a powerful invicoratlng tonic "Fa vorite Proscription" imparts strength to tho whole systom and to tho organs dis tinctly feminine In particular. For over worked, "woru-out," "run-down," debili tated toachers, milliners, dressmakers, M-anirttrossoa, "shop girls," house-keopers, nursing mothers, ana fooblo women gen erally, Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription Is tho greatest earthly boon, beliiK un pquuliul a an appetizing cordial and ro Storutlvo tonic. As a soothing and strengthening nerv ine "Fa vorl to Prescription " is unsnualed and Is invaluable In allaying and sub dulrig norvous excitability, Imtablllty, nervous oxnaustlon, nervous prostration, neuralgia, hysteria, spasms, chorea, St. Vltus's danco, and other distressing, norv ous symptoms commonly fttwnuant upon functional. and organic disease of tha uterus.
