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. In this prob
loin tho young chemists nnd tho young
olectrlcinns of to-day havo n wort

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

fighters had boon denounced as a band
of miscreants. Ilnd there been such

THE GREAT AMERICAN HOG.

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

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."
