ESKIMOS REUNITED TO WORLD.
Those of Greenland's East Coast Again
in Touch with Civilization.
The Eskimos of the east coast of
Greenland have been reunited to the
A\orld , after having forgotten , perhaps
for many years , the little they ever
kn'l.v of it , says the Philadelphia Pub
lic Ledger. The Danish supply steam
ship ( Jodthaab has returned to Copen
hagen from a visit to Angmagsalik , a
station established by the government
for the purpose of improving the con
dition of the Greenland natives and
developing a trade with them. It is an
interesting enterprise , because Den
mark's dealings with aboriginals are
humanizing and philanthropic , and the
material it hfad to deal with here was
in its natural condition.
As far as is known , the natives of
Greenland's cast coast had never come
into contact with the white race until
twenty years ago , when they were dis
covered by Capt. Holm , a Danish ex
plorer. It was six years later before
anything more than fragmentary infor
mation about them was given out. and
then Denmark published a sumptuous
work in three volumes devoted to the
people and their habitat. Probably no
other book so exhaustive and costly
has ever been printed about a handful
of primitive people. They numbered
only 548 when they were discovered.
The supply steamship reports at
Copenhagen that the East Greenland
station is in thriving condition. It has
simply transformed the life of the na
tives. They have knives , timber , metal
points for their harpoons and a hun
dred comforts and conveniences they
never knew before. The Danish gov
ernment buys their oils , furs , skins
and feathers. The station takes every
thing they have to sell in exchange for
the commodities they require.
A way has been found around the
glaciers jutting out into the sea which
so long barred attempts to travel
around the south end of Greenland. A
few parties have made sledge jour
neys to the Eskimo settlements of the
west coast , and some of them have set
tled there. They have never heard of
spirituous liquors.
They are pure-blood Eskimos , the
onlj * unmixed natives in Greenland , ex
cepting in the Smith sound region ; but
their features aro thinner and longer
than those of other Eskimos , and they
are a little taller than those of the
west coast. They have the dimmest
tradition that their fathers came from
the north , and considerable evidence
has accumulated pointing to the prob
ability that they are the descendants
of natives who reached northwest
Greenland from the archipelago north
of our continent and then skirted the
north and east coasts of Greenland to
their present abode.
Thomas' Opinion.
The father of a young man who
had been lately married had occasion
to send a faithful but somewhat blunt
old servant to his son's house , some
miles distant , on business. On his re
turn , anxious to hear the old man's
opinion of the lady , he said :
"Well , you saw the bride , Thomas ? " j
"Yes. master , I saw the bride. "
"She's a wealthy lady , Thomas. "
"Yes , master , very wealthy , I sup
" :
pose.
"Well , and ' what's your opinion ,
Thomas ? " ,
"I think she's a right bonnie lady
'
to talk to , as well as being rich and
clever ; but , master , " said the old man ,
confidentially , "if beauty's a sin she
won't have that to answer for. "
"Woman , Lovely Woman I
' 'Don't you know , " said Miss Over-
seven , "that I am really feeling younger
to-day than I did a few years ago ? "
"Yes , " rejoined Miss Inerteens , "I've
noticed of late that you are getting quite
childish. "

HARVEST SHOWS FARM WEALTH
Railroad People Give Figures Illus
trating Nation's Grain Production.
The American former is an exceeding
ly prosperous individual , according to
railroad statisticians , who have figured
out that tho grain traffic for this crop
year will aggregate 1,500,000 carloads.
If all this graia could be marketed sim
ultaneously and hauled in a single eolid
train of freight cars the train v/ould be
11,931 miles long , exclusive of the loco
motives tliat would bo necessary to
move it.
Dividing this into trains of forty cars
each , there would be required 37,500 lo
comotives or 355 miles of draught ma
chinery. Adding this 355 miles to the
11,931 miles of cars , there is a total of
12,286 miles.
To hold the cars and engines it would
require nearly every foot of four tracks
extending from New York to San Fran
cisco. The necessary single track would
measure half the circumference of the
globe.
These figures do not fully tell of the
vastness of the wealth which , the Ameri
can farmer has taken from his land in
corn , oats , wheat , barley and rye in the
year 1905. The railroad men's estimates
| are confined to the grain which will be
j moved to market centers on the steam
roads. Probably not over one-third of
tho grain produced will ever see a freight
car. The other two-thirds will be haul
ed to local mills in wagons or will be
consumed by live stock on the farms. To
hold tho entire corn crop alone would
! call for a train and engines 21,000 miles
In length.
j In this story of agricultural treasure
1 lies the reason for the unparalleled prep
arations of the western railroads for
traffic this season. If the farmer were
not already well supplied with ready
money and were forced to rush hia graiir
to market , as he has done in past years ,
I it Is reasonable to suppose the railroads
i would be utterly swamped with grain
f traffic.
The statisticians estimate the wheat
' and oats crops of Minnesota and the Da-
, kotas at 326,000,000 bushels , of which
190,000,000 bushels will be marketed on
steam roads. They place the total yield
! of corn at 2,500,000,000 bushels , and ex-
! pect that 786,000,000 bushels will be
, hauled on freight trains greater or less
j distances. Granting that these figures
are correct , there will be 173,000 carloads
' of wheat and oats from the three States
mentioned , or 4,325 trains of forty cars
each. Tho estimate for corn is 796,000
| carloads , or 19,900 trainloads of forty
1 ears each. On top of this thero proba
bly will be 17,000 carloads of flaxseed to
be hauled from tho Northwest.
i To haul tho 1,500,000 cars estimated
for all kinds of grain , there would mean
a movement of a hundred trains of forty
cars each for every day of the year.
ELECTRIC PLOW PROMISED.
Trolley System Is to Be Applied to
Breaking Farm Land.
A Minneapolis machinery company has
Under construction tho working parts of
an invention that may prove to be the
working of a revolution in the matter of
breaking ground on bonanza farms , of
which there are so many In tho North
west , and which may be used even on
smaller farms wherever there is an en
gine handy that can be put to the use
intended.
The idea Is no less than to plow the
fields by electricity , by tho use of an elec
tric plow. The plow itself is to bo op
erated by electric power , and is a large
gang affair which will turn over a wide
piece of earth. A threshing engine is to
be used , to furnish , the electricity , a dyna
mo to De attached.
Tho plow is to be run by trolley , the
wire to bo run from tho working dynamo
to tho farthest corner of the field. The
plow picks up the wire as it runs , and
when it arrives at the far end of the field ,
an easy arrangement alters the position J
of tho feed WLCQ so that the whole field
can be reached in that way. j
It is claimed for tho new idea that it
will be a most wonderful labor saver , !
and that it will do wonders in the way of ;
speed , running about four times as rap- !
icily as horses can pull a plow of the
same kind. It will also be much more
handy than steam , because of tho fact
that steam machines of that kind are so
heavy that they are unwieldy and cut
into tho field , especially when the ground
is soft. |
It is claimed that if the plow works
reasonably well , the same idea can be put
to use in working harvesters and other (
farm machinery , which will do away with
the necessity of having so many horses to
feed all through the year , when less
would be necessary under the trolley sys
tem.
FROST NIPS WESTERN CROPS.I

Temperatures favorable for the matur- J
ing of crops prevailed in all districts
east of tho Rocky mountains during the J
week except in the northern portions of !
the upper Missouri and upper Mississip-

lan.I , where it was somewhat too cool.
Scattered frosts , causing damage , occur
red in the central and northern Rocky j
mountain districts and in the upper Mis- |
eouri valley during the latter part of the
week. The greater part of Texas , por
tions of Kansas and .Missouri , and the
north Pacific coast continue to need rain.
Corn has advanced rapidly and much
of the early crop over the southern por
tion of the corn belt is being cut.

Kaiser and Children.
Recently the Kaiser and Kaiserin
visiteil Saarbrucken to unveil a statue
j in that town , their little daughter ,
j Princess Louise , being left in the
meantime in the royal car at the rail-
j way station. A beautiful bouquet of
flowers had been brought for presen
tation to the little princess by three
small girls , who looked very disap
pointed at the absence of the little
Louise. The Kaiserin , who noticed it ,
at once ordered that the 'children
should be driven to the railway station
I to deliver their present. They found
, the Princess Louise at supper , and one
j of the children inscribed how she had
! spilled some egg and cocoa on her
, white frock. She was very friendly
'
and pleased , and talked a * though she
had known them "ever so long. "
j "The Empress , too , " the girl relates ,
"was very kind to us at once , and
said : 'Little girls , when you come to
Berlin , you must really and truly come
| to see us. Promise me that you will
' come. ' And the little princess also
i said we must come. The Emperor
shook hands with us , and when he
squeezed my hand a bit I squeezed
back , and he laughed and put his other
hand on top of it. Then both the Em
peror and Empress kissed us , and the
| Emperor said : 'Well , little girls , I
! think my daughter must make you a
pretty present in return for your beau-
! tiful flowers. ' When we had left , and
stood on the platform watching the
train move off , the Emperor and Em
press and the priucess looked out , nod
ding and waving good-by till the train
disappeared. Housekeeper.

A West Side young woman , who
\vas going about twenty-five miles in
the country to visit an aunt recently ,
had arranged to take a morning train
and had written her relative to meet
her. She found , however , that it would
be inconvenient to take that train , so
she decided to go in the evening.
Imagine the surprise of her aunt on
meeting the morning train to find no
girl , but a letter in the mail it brought
saying :

the morning train. I'll be out on tha
evening one Kate. " Kansas City

Shapes the Destiny of Men The Influence of a
Healthy Woman Cannot Be Overestimated.
Seven-eighths of the
men in this world marry
a woman because she is
beautiful in their eyes
because she has the quali

The influence of women

of perfect physical health
upon men and upon the
civilization of the world
could never be measured. y . $
Because of them men have A Affi'tiSfo

them even thrones have

\Vhatadisappointnient ,
then , to see the fair young1
wife's beauty fadingaway
before a year passes over
her head ! A sickly , half-
dead-and-alive woman ,
especially when she is
the mother of a family ,
is a damper to all joyous-
ndss in the home , and a
dragupon her husband.
The cost of a wife's con
stant illness is a serious
drain upon the funds of a
household , and too often all the doc
toring1 does no good.
If a woman finds her energies are
flagging , and that every thing tires her ,
dark shadows appear under her eyes ,
her sleep is disturbed by horrible
dreams ; if she has backache , head
aches , bearing-down pains , nervous
ness , whites , irregularities , or despon
dency , she should take means to build
her system up at once by a tonic with
specific powers , such as Lydia E. Pink-
ham's Vegetable Compound.
This great remedy for women has
done more in the way of restoring
health to the women of America than
all other medicines put together. It is
the safeguard of woman's health.
Following we publish , by request , a
letter from a young wife.
Mrs. Bessie Ainsley of Gil South 10th
Street , Tacoma , Wash. , writes :
Dear Mrs. Pinkham :
"Ever since my childwas born I have suf
fered , as I hope few women ever have , with
inflammation , female weakness , bearing-down
pains , backache and wretched headnehes. It
affected my stomach so that I could not en
joy my ineals , and half niy time was spent
in bed.

my marvelous recovery. It brought m :
health , new Ufa and vitality. " ,
TVhat Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound did for Mrs. Ainsley it will !
do for every woman who ia in poor1
health and ailing.
Its benefits begin when its use begins. \
It gives strength and vigor from the'
start , and surely makes sick women , '
well and robust.
Remember Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege
table Compound holds the record for
the greatest number of actual cures of
woman's ills. This fact is attested to' '
by the thousands of letters from grate- '
ful women which are on file in tho1
Pinkham laboratory. Merit alone can
produce such results.
Women should remember that a cure1
for all female diseases actually exists , ,
and that cure is Lydia E. P ink ham's

tute.

ENDANGERS LIFE
When you ask your druggist for Mull's Grape ionic , a cure for
Constipation , Stomach and Bowel Trouble , and he tries to sell you
something else which he claims is just as good that is substitution or
dishonesty. It is an insult to your intelligence. He does it for profit
and not because he cares for your health. No honest druggist will do it.
Stop a moment and reflect before you permit him to mislead you.
He is willing to endanger your life and health for the sake of a few
pennies. Is he a safe man to trade with ? Deal with the Honest drug

that which you call for.
Until Mull's Grape Tonic was put on the American market there
was no cure for Constipation and Stomach Trouble. Your Doctor v/ill
tell you as much. He knows that a physic won't cure Constipation.
Some remedies may act as laxatives and physics , but you and I know
from experience that physics are dangerous , that they weaken , that
they not only-fail to cure , but make us worse , until finally they lose
effect entirely which means paralysis cf the Bowels and death by
Typhoid Fever , Appendicitis , Stomach , Heart , and Lung Trouble ,
Rheumatism , Dropsy , Kidney and Bright's Disaase , etc.
There are honorable druggists in most every locality , men who
will promptly supply you with Mull's Grape Tonic and not try to sell
you something else , but should there be no such druggist there v/e
wijl send you the Tonic direct from this factory without additional
expense to you.
If you have Constipation and want to try Mull's Grape Tonic and
have never used it , we will send you or any of your friends , who suffer
