The town of Somerville, Me., Is for sale to the highest bidder. No taxes have been paid for years and the property valuation of the place has dwindled from $106,000 in 1880 to $SO,000 In 1900. The Washington Trvlng homestead at Irvlng-on-Hudson, N. Y., has been sold to Henry Graves, Jr., of New York City, for 1126,000. Since the death of Washington Irving there has been no change In the premises, except that a new three-story brick mansion has been built on the property. The famous bronze statue which has stood since 1886 on the scene of the Haymarket riots in Chicago, hag been removed to I'nlon park. The mer chants In the vicinity of Harymarket square complained that the statue in terfered with business, which is before and above everything in Chicago. OUo Bauer of Cornwa!!-on-the-Hud- son, N.

AND HIS "TUMMY"! Small boys, and many times large ones, and occasionally girls, too, big and little, suffer terribly from convulsive pains or "cramps" in the bowels and stomach pain so violent that it "doubles up" the ones attacked, and makes it impossible for them to stand up. Some people call it colic, but most honest, plavin-spoken people call h "belly-ache" and very properly, for the teat of the trouble is in the bowels, and caused by the violent efforts of the bowels to rid themselves of something: which dotrn't belong there. The small boy usually ?;eu it from over-eating- or from eating forbidden ruit, and suffers mostly in the summer time. It's spring now, and "in times of peace, prepare for war." Let the boys and girls and the big folks, too, for that matter, clean out the clogged channels filled with winter bile and putrid undi gested food, strengthen the 30-fcet of bowel canal, liven up the liver, and "summer belly aches" will have no terrors, because ther won't happen. The way to make the body ache-proof is to use CASCARETS, gentle, sweet, fragrant CaSCARETS, the perfect system cleaners and bowel strengtheners. For fear that anybody in the family should ever be attacked by belly-ache, keep a box of CASCARETS in the house always, and remember that all pains and troubles in your insides are QUICKLY CURED BY w " . . mm mmm a re a -w t - CANDY CATHARTIC ALL 25c 50c.

It is pleasing to turn from the itvolt ng spectacle of some of the West Af--kan tribes who had been bestialized by iheir oevotion to trade gin, to the pic tuie which travek-is draw of the gieal hausa eiiiu-s of the Sudan, under Mo tammedun dominion, for a centuiy, nhere such a thing as a bottle of spirits is never seen. For a hundred yeais :he Mohammedans of North Africa have been pushing across the r-ahara and the Sudan, bringing all the barbarous peoples they have met under the in fluence of Islam. Thus Mohammedan Ism has for more profoundly affected the lives of many millions of black Af ricans than the Christian influences, which are only Just beginning to make large headway. It cannot be said that this influence of Islam Is wholly salu tary, though many observers, like the learned Dr. Blyden, of Liberia, regard Islam as the greatest civilizing agency yet introduced into Africa; but these Mosle mproselytes have made the na tives better than they found them, and have stimulated foreign trade with Darkest Africa" to a remarkable ex tent. When Stanley and other explor ers began to penetrate equatorial re gions they said: "These tribes around the lakes, who dress in long garments made of bark fibre, are beginning to discard their flimsy native cloth and are swathing their bodies with fold after fold of white cottons from England ?nd Amer lea. The Arabs among them dress in these cloths and have convinced the na tlves of their advantage over the home made cloth. A great future Is coming for the cloth trade In Inner Africa.' ' The trade Is growing every year, Scores of tribes in Central Africa are eager to buy 'Mercani,' as they call the cottons made in America, which trad trs now bring to their villages. Abou October in every year the great cara van, that crosses the Sahara from Mo rocco to Timbuktu, starts on Its way The caravan always numbers about 10, 000 camels, and a fifth of them are laden. with white American and British cot tons, and blue and other colors. The greatest imports of Tripoli, which is the other great center of the desert caravan trade, are cotton cloths, and most of them are sent to the desert oases and the fertile Soudan beyond White cottons are among the largest Imports of Zanzibar, and many of them are sent Inland to the natives, who nev er saw these manufactures till the Ar abs appeared among them in their white garments. England has the larg est share in this trade, but $500,000 worth of our cheap, uncolored cottonB were sent Into the wilds of Africa last year, and It Is the Moslem who has opened these new markets for the tex tiles of the 'infidel' nations." "But the Mohammedans have done more than to open these new markets They have stimulated textile manufac tures In the very heart of Africa to such an extent that cloth made in the Sudan Is now for sale in Mediterranean cities. The town of Kano, only a few days' Journey from Lake Tchad, has been well called "the Manchester of Central Africa," for the cloth It weaves from native cotton clothes more than half the people of the central Sudan Fanatical followers of Islam cannot keep out of touch with the rest of the world, though they may for years wall cities like Timbuktu and Harrar, and seal up great regions, .like the Egyptian Sudan, against every white race. They may proclaim war on the infidel while at the same time their very tastes and aptitudes are opening ways through which foreign commerce enters as wa ter Invades a leaking ship. THE CHINESE EMPIRE. LABOR AND INDUSTRY. The coast region of Georgia is to have a sugar refinery, the first one In tht state. It is to be located In Baxley. Coal Is worked so easily In China thai In Shansl It sells for less than 25 cents per ton at the mines. All the Boston and New York electric cars are to be equipped with electric heaters. The manufacturers of Kansas have appealed to the supreme court for re lief against the enforcement of the eight-hour law. Labor Is prepared to defend the act, funds being subscribed for that purpose through the central labor bodies. Boise Typographical union No. 271 has removed the name of Governor Bteunenberg from Its honorary roll, and Instructed the secretary to have Its ictlon published In the International Typographical Journal, notifying sub ordinate unions of the aame. Steunen berg Is governor of Idaho. They have now Invented a machine that will do the work of section gang. on railroads, leveling and trimming the roadbed and preserving the proper width, level and slope railed for by the standard cross-section of the road. Thl( work la usually done by hand, and it requires some skill to do it correctly, but this new machine Is throwing the laborer along the line of the Boston A Maine railroud into a panic, as II makes a saving of S per cent In dis placement of labor.

China and its dependencies of Man "huria, Mongolia, Thibet and Jungaria constitute the Chinese empire. In the government of the empire first comes the emperor, who governs according lo the laws laid down in "The Collected Regulations of the Ts'ing Dynasty." He has a privy council, which is charged with the "supreme direction" of the affairs of the empire. This would seem to be an advisory or legislative body as it has nothing to do with the exec utive branch of the government, which Is under the "supreme direction" of a cabinet comprising four members two of Manchu and two of Chinese blood. The Munchus Tartars by the way. the ruling race in China, are distinct from the real Chinese, and are greatly outnumbered by them. Attached to the cabinet are two learned men from the "Great College," whose business it is to see that nothing Is done In vio lation of the "Collected Regulations" (which may be likened to the constitu tion of another country), or of the sacred books of Confucius. They are. In fact, legal and spiritual advisers of the cabinet. Under the orders of the cabinet are seven administrative boards, each pre sided over by two officials, one a Man chu Tartar and the other a Chinese. The boards are of civil affairs, military affairs, of "rites and ceremonies," of public works, of crlmlnl Jurisprudence, of the admiralty and of finance. Independent of the government and theoretically above the central admin istration is the board of public censors, composed of from forty to fifty mem bers. By ancient custom the members of this board are privileged to present remonstrances to the emperor, and one member must be present at each meet ing of every government board. China proper, the "Middle Kingdom," is divided Into eighteen provinces, each governed by a governor, more com monly spoken of as a viceroy, who Is directly responsible to the emperor.who appoints him, for all the administra tion of his province, civil, military, Ju dcial and flnancal. He has almost ab solute power over everything and every one in his province, with one exception, if a Manchu garrison is quartered in any town in his province, he cannot interfere with it. Its commander is responsible only to Pekin. The tsung-ll-yamen, of which we hear so much, is the Chinese foreign office. It la composed of all the members of the privy and grand council and six other officials of the very highest rank. Manchuria, whence came the present rulers of the empire, is the most popu Iouh of China's dependencies. It lies to the northeast of China, and Its popular tion is estimated at 7,500,000. Its area is much more than twice that of the combined areas of New England, New York, Pennsylvania and New Jer sey. It is twice the size of Japan, over six times the t'lze of ' England and Wales and one-fourth the size of China proper. It is divided for purposes of govern ment Into three provinces, one of which is ruled by a civil governor, and the other two by military governors. Mongolia has an area nearly as large as China proper, that is 1,228,000 square miles. It has over 100,000 more square miles than Montana, Wyoming, Colo rado, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Ne vada, Idaho, Washington, Oregon and California combined. It is bigger than all Europe leaving out Russia and Swe den and Norway. Its population Is about 2,000,000. The Mongols are governed by their native princes, and pay no taxes to China. In fact, the princes are sub sldized by the Imperial government on condition that they acknowledge th Excellent Endors:z::l. An Omaha Concern Commanded by a Minister of 8 Years' Standing.

Once year the princes hold a congress, presided over by one of their number, at which local affairs are settled. The governor of the nearest Chinese prov nee, however, has at least a nominal control over the assembly. Twice a year the Mongol princes have to go to Pekin to pay homage to the emperor, and carry him tribute of horses and camels, in return for which they re ceive presents of far greater value. Jungaria, to the westward of Mon golia, Is about the size of California, and is governed much as Mongolia is. t has a population estimated at 600.000. East Turkestan is governed by it native khans, and its only obligation to China is that of furnishing irregular cavalry when called upon by the em peror.
