We have in America two great
ttates, the areas of which have prob
ably never been traversed. These are
Maine in the North and Texas in llie
South, where immense treasures in
woods, minerals, game and other ar
ticles of substantial profit are worth
•11 the sentiment inspired by prac
tically valueless expeditions to Frigid
Zones.
Germany is England's most active
commercial rival. This country comes
next. The value of British exports
in 1900 was about $1,500,000,000, that
of Germany's output about $1,000,
000,000. Neither country has any
breadstufFs to spare. With the excep
tion of British coal and German beet
sugar, their exports are almost en
tirely made up of manufactured
goods, products of factories.
A curious street car line is that be
tween Atami and Yoshihoma, two
coast towns in the Province of Izie,
Japan. The line is seven miles long,
the rolling stock consists of a single
car, and the motive power is fur
nished by a couple of muscular cool
ies, who push the car along wherever
power is necessary. When the car
comes to a clown grade they jump on
•nd ride.
It must be quite pleasant to be in
carcerated in a French prison. The
Figaro publishes a list of the good
things given to prisoners in the Fres
ncs Gaol. Last year the prisoners
consumed 45,000 litres of red win?,
40,000 kilos of fillets of beef and legs
of mutton, 1,500 kilos of jam, 100
kilos of caramels and other sweets, 1o
«ny nothing of such dainties as maca
roni, fruit, ham and a whole cata
logue of tasty cheeses with fancy
names.
The elephant's mouth is one of the
queerest sights in the whole of the
animal kingdom. Its size alone
makes it sufficiently remarkable, i»ut
Its construction is more remarkable,
even, than its size. 1c has no front
teeth, for elephants never eat fiesh
aior any food which requires tearing
apart. Tliey have only eight teeth
altogether, four huge, yellow molars
on each side, two above and two be
low. These teeth arc about l'-vo
Inches thick and the width of a mail's
hand.
At Naundorf in the Hunsruck near
the Rhine a Roman temple has been
found enclosed in a walled inclosuro
measuring 220 by 200 feet. The tem
ple stands in the middle cud is 60
feet by 50. It contains more terra
cotta objects than have been discov
ered hitherto in Germany. They are
votive offerings, about a hundred be
ing whole figures representing god
desses. Small bronze statuettes of
Mars, Jupiter and Mercury have also
been found.
In Sweden mourning clothes sre
somewhat peculiar, according to our
way of thinking. For women, a long
veil is absolutely nccessarv, as are
also a black dress and a crape bonnet,
but a jacket or mantle of any color
may be donned with these, and it is
by no means unusual for a widow to
wear the regulation weeds in con
junction with a brilliant red jacket.
Wen also will dress in black troupers
and hat, and a colored waistcoat, and
possibly even a colored coat.
Camels can not swim. They are
Tery buoyant, but ill balanced, and
their heads go under water. They
can. however, be taught to swim with
the aid of goat skins or jars fastened
under their necks. During the Ue
luchistan expedition, in 1S0S, the
camels were lowered into the sea
from the Ehips, and their drivers,
plunging overboard, clambered onto
the backs of tlicir charges, causing
the animals' heads to come up, and,
thus assisted, they were successfully
piloted ashore.
Snails are not only regarded as a
great delicacy in Paris, but are reck
oned as very nutritious. Ilygienists
say that they contain 17 per cent, of
nitrogenous matter, and that they are
equal to oysters in nutritive proper
ties. Nearly 100,000 pounds of snails
are sold daily in the Paris markets.
They are carefully reared for the pur
pose in extensive snail gardens in the
provinces, and fed on aromatic herbs
to make their flavor finer. One sna'.l
ery in Dijon is said to bring in ita
proprietor $5,000 a year.
At least four times the crown of
England has been in pawn. Henry
III. and Ilenry V., Edward III. and
Richard II. all resorted to this mc.ms
of raising money. The merchants of
Flanders once had possession pf the
crown, the city of London held it as
security for $10,000, and it was pledged
at another time for $100,000. Ed
ward III. disposed of it to the Bishop
of Winchester for $07,000, and
Charles II. would have used the cro.vn
as a personal asset if he had bcuu
able to turn it into money.
The juice of the green pineapple,
says £he London Globe, is accredited
in Java, the Philippines and through
out the East generally, with being
a blood poison of a most deadly na
ture. It is said to be the substance
with which the Malays poison their
kreescs and daggers, and to le also
the "finger nail" poison formerly in

Manila, April 20.—The following is
Aguinaldo's address to the Filipino
people made public Friday evening.
•'I believe I am not In error in presuming
that the unhappy fate to which my adverse
fortune has led me is not a surprise to
those who have been tamiliar with tne
progress of the war. The lessons taugni
with a full meaning, r.nd which have re
cently come to my knowledge, suggest witn
irresistible force that a complete termina
tion of hostilities and lasting peace are not
only desirable, but absolutely essential to
the welfare of the Philippine Islands.
"The Filipinos have never been dismayen
r.t their weakness nor have they faltered
!n following the path pointed out by their
fortitude and courage. The time nas
come, however, in which
they
find their a
vance along this path to be impeded by an
irresistible force which, while it restrains
them, yet enlightens their minds and opens
to them another coursp. presenting them
the cause of peace. This cause has been
joyfully embraced by the majority* of
feilow countrymen who have already unit
ed around the glorious sovereign ban
ner of th-a United States. In this banner
they repose their trust and belief that un
der its protection the Filipino people will
attain all those promised liberties which
they are beginning to enjoy. The country
has declared unmistakably in favor or
peace. So be it. There has been enough
blood, enough tears and enough desolation.
This wish cannot be ignored by the mer.
still in arms if they are animated by a de
pire to serve our noble people, which nas
thus clearly manifested its will. So do I
respect this will, now that it is known
to me.
"After mature deliberation I resolutely
proclaim to the world that I cannot refuse
to heed the voice of a people longing lor
pence, nor the lamentations of thousands
of families yearning to see their dear ones
enjoying the liberty and the promised
generosity of the great American nation.
"By acknowledging and accepting the
sovereignty of the United States through
out the'Philippine archipelago, as 1 now do
and without any reservation whatsoever,
I believe that I am serving thee, my be
loved country. May happiness be thine.
To signalize this important step in
the pacification of the country, Gen.
MacArtliur orders the release, on
swearing allegiance to the United
States of 1.000 insurgent prisoners.
Will Have Good EHeet.
Washington. April 20.—It is believed
bv the administration that the mani
festo of Aguinaldo will have a decid
edly good effect, both in the Philip
pines and in this country. It will take
some time for its dissemination among
the Filipinos, but it is expected to be
of considerable service and to make
more rapid the improvement in the
situation which set in some time ago
and lias become quite marked of late.
End of StrusfBle In Sight,
There are but few officers of any
prominence connected with the Philip
pine insurrection who have not al
ready surrendered and thus taken the
oath of allegiance. Gen. Alejandrino
and Gen. Trias are among the most
prominent who continue in opposition,
and the war department officials hope
that Aguinaldo's address will induce
them to surrender within a short
time. Should they do so and take the
oath of allegiance there is little doubt
that their followers will do likewise,
thus putting an end to all organized
opposition to American authority in
the Philippine archipelago.
Troops in Philippine*.
Washington, April 20.—Ad.jt. Gen.
Corbin authorizes the statement that
no material changes will be made in
the army in the Philippines until after
the war department has hAird from
Gen. Chaffee on the subject. In accord
ance with orders previously issued
Gen. Chaffee will relieve Gen. MacAr
tliur of the command of the military
forces in the Philippines on June 30,
and present expectation is that a gen
eral civil government will be estab
lished in the archipelago about that
time.
Given More Freedom.
Manila, April 22.—Aguinaldo has
been removed from the Malacanang
palace to a private residence and the
guard placed over him has been mod
ified. Gen. MacArtliur says the ef
fect of Aguinaldo's address to the
Filipinos will undoubtedly be bene
ficial. It is believed he is sincerely
desirous of peace.
Splendid FlRhtera.
In response to a question concern
ing his opinion of 4he American
troops. Aguinaldo said:
"How terrible are the Americans! They
are splendid and ferocious fighters. I no
sooner built arsenals and barracks than
they destroyed them. Col. March chased
me in the most lively manner for two
months In the western mountains until I
worked eastward with "0 horses and SO
men. I crossed to Cagayan and lived on
the east coast for eight months. My out
posts often saw the Americans, but I did
not participate in a single engagement,
though I once eornmandtd 40,0(X) riflemen.
The watchfulness of the army and navy
practically destroyed filibustering to
Luzon."

London, April 18. Recent dis

BAN ON LAX DIVORCES.
Supreme Court Pasties on the Validity
in One State of Decree* Grant
ed in Otlicr State*.
Washington, April 16.—Hundreds
of divorces granted by the courts of
the Dakotas and other states where
there has been a similar laxness in
judicial matters have been declared
invalid by the supreme court of the
United States. The Dakota decrees
are not the only ones that are upset
by any means, for in nearly every
state in the union decrees have been
granted to plaintiffs whose actual
legal
places
of residence were in other
states. In hundreds of other cases,
it is asserted, subsequent marriages
are invalid.
The court held practically that in
cases in which the decree is granted
in states where the husband and wife
have made their legal residence it is
valid in any part of the United
States, but that in other cases in
which there is no legal residence in
the state in which the decree is
granted they are invalid.

appointed by the Cuban constitution
al convention to go to Washington
and lay before President McKinley
the desires of the convention regard
ing the future relations between
Cuba and the United States will
leave here Saturday. Gen. Wood will

Fla.
Interview with Senator Piatt.
New York, April 17.—Senator Or
ville II. Piatt, of Connecticut, author
of what is known as the "Piatt
amendment" relating to Cuba, is at
the Murray Hill hotel. In an inter
view he said:
"The real essence of the propositions of
this government is that the Cubans rec
ognize the right of the United States to
maintain the Independor-ce of Cuba and the
stability of its government. That right
once being recognized by the Cuban con
stitution, there will be no trouble about the
enforcement. All will be plain sailing.
"They property owners and conservative
classes in Cuba almost unanimously desire
the protection of this government, those
opposed to it do not count for much.
"Most of the people In this country do
not understand the real feeling in Cuba.
The news reports from Havana have been
very conflicting. They are almost as un
trustworthy as the dispatches from China
last year about the Boxer troubles.
Attitude of People.
"In reality little Interest is manifested In
Cuba In the convention. Many people there
have not even heard of it. The property
owners took very little interest in the elec
tion of delegates, believing that in any
event the American government would pro
tect them and their property. No interest
was shown by the large colored population
In the convention. Many of the delegates
have no interests at stake, but want to
figure as patriots. Some of the members
are old revolutionists, officers In the in
surgent army and lawyers, while some are
mere adventurers. Some of them seem to
think that the Spanish yoke having been
thrown off, they ought to come in and take
possession.
Bnt Few Hostile.
"Yet one-third of the members of the
convention are friendly to the United
States and appreciate what we have done
and what we Intend to do for Cuba an
other third is hostile to America and the
balance are indifferent. It is the members
nf the hostile element who are making all
the noise and attempting to create a be
lief that Cnbans do not want this govern
ment. They are misrepresenting the facts.
The two most important elements of the
Cubans—the property owners and the
workingmen—heartily favor the proposals
of the United States and rely on the con
tinued assistance of our government.
"In the course of time all Cubans will
accept the overtures of the American gov
ernment In letter and spirit, unless the agi
tators convince the people we are oppress
ing them, something I believe they will
r.ot succeed In doing."

HUSBAND AND WIFE.
A. Veteran of the Civil War, Tells an
Interesting Story.
Effingham, 111., April 22 (Special).
—Uriah S. Andrick is now 07 years of
age. Air. Andrick served through the
whole of the Civil War. He was wound
ed, three times by ball, and twice by
bayonet.
When he entered the service of his
country in 1861, he was hale and
hearty, and weighed 198 pounds. Since
the close of the war, however, Mr. An
drick has had very bad health.
For fifteen years, he never lay down
in bed for over an hour at a time. He
had acute Kidney Trouble, which grew
into Bright's Disease. His heart also,
troubled him very much.
On Oct. 18th, 1900, he was weighed,
and weighed only 102 pounds, being but
a shadow of his former self. He com
menced using Dodd's Kidney Pills on
the 26th of last December, and on Feb.
20th was again weighed, and weighed
146 pounds. He says:
"I have spent hundreds of dollars
and received no benefit, until on the
26th of December last, I purchased one
box of Dodd's Kidney Pills. I am
cured, and I am free from any pain. I
have not the slightest trace of the
Bright's Disease, and I can sleep well
all night. I was considered a hopeless
case by everybody, but to-day I am a
well man, thanks to Dodd's Kidney
Pills.
"For the last sixteen years my wife
has been in misery with bearing down
pains, pains in the lower part of the
abdomen and other serious ailments.
When she saw what Dodd's Kidney
Pills were doing for me she com
menced to use them. She now feels
like another woman, her pains have all
disappeared and her general health is
better than it has been for years.
"She is so taken up with Dodd's Kid
ney Pills and what they have done for
us that she has gone to Mr. Cornwall's
Drug Store and bought them for some
of her friends for fear that if they
went themselves they might make a
mistake and get something else."
There is something very convincing
in the honest simple story of this old
veteran and his wife.
Dodd's Kidney Pills are the only
Remedy that ever cured Bright's Dis
ease, Diabetes or Dropsy. They never
fail.
