REBUILD THE WASTE. The angel of peace has blown out the last glimmering footlight of the sad South African panorama. The defeated Boer, overwhelmed by sheer numbers and resources, goes back to his wasted field, to rebuild his shat tered civilization. On every hand he sees the unmarked graves of his fel low comrades, sons and brothers. Wherever he directs his gaze, it falls upon a recent battlefield. His home is desolated. His family circle is broken. His citizenship is taken from him. His little store of belong 'lngs has been confiscated by his foe, or sacrificed upon the altar of a lost cause and a fruitless struggle. He has surrendered from exhaustion. His country is devastated. The hope of his countrymen Is crushed. Ev erywhere about him llei the suggest ive symbols of defeat. In such - circumstances, under such conditions, will the Boer ever become a .good British subject? Will he for get? Will he gather up the fragments of his cherished government and trek northward, or westward once more toward another unclaimed wilderness to found anew a government of his own liking and of his own sovereign choice? If he should do this, would not this same conscienceless con queror pursue him in his content ment in search of something for nothing? The Boer is human. He has a mind, a memory, a nature and a passion which will be implanted and .-intensified in his children's children.' No amount of mock solicitude for his welfare, on the part of British politicians will assuage the deeply I seated injury he feels. It will require generations of Boers i to outlive this last annihilation by British greed and force. In every furrow that he plows in the bitterness of defeat, he will sow the seeds of defiance. He will lead his little child to the new gTaves of its brethren and lay upon its life the solemn vow to take up the struggle for liberty and vengeance, where the alien laid It down. wheat standing before the eyes, is a better auctioneer than all the stump orators in the township. One beet 'field can tell a more startling tale than an album full of kodak views. Seeing Is believing. A man with money to Invest wants to see some thing. He has all respect for the di vine eloquence of the ad writer, but ho would much rather wet his boots with the dew of reality. After he has taken a yard stick and measured the height of au oat straw actually standing on the ground, he feels more secure in letting go his money .than if he had feasted his oyes upon the most truthful picture that over es caped from the omnipresent snap shot artist. Of all masters of the art, nature wields the readiest pen and most realistic brush. THE CEMENT AGE. THE ART OF ADVERTISING. Printers ink is of human origin. Pens, pencils, kodaks and crayons all belong to tottering humanity. Words, even, have a narrow and earthy scope of meaning. Hundreds of struggling mortals rack their brains hourly and dally in a vain search for come new and thrilling advertisement of their little spot of earth. Sketch artists color some unromantlc j scene with their fanciful hues, In the old battle for bread arfd notoriety. Folders, pamphlets, picture books, story books, fairy tales, facts and fic tions interwoven are issued broad cast by real estate dealers to swell the tide of investors. But Nature that unpretentious artist, is master of the profession. She Is the. greatest of all advertisers. With one stroke she surpasses the tiny efforts of all her compeers. One bending, ripening wheat field, with Its undeniable story, is worth more than barrels of printer's1 ink. One growing orchard excels the per fection of the camera. The fairy sto ries of the folders dwarf Into Insig nificance when compared with one mile of tho variegated scenery as It exists In Juno. Nature Is tangible She Is not magnified nor distorted. What she Is she Is. Fifty bushels of'- I According to Professor C. F. Mor but, of the department of geology, University of Missouri, we are near ing a time when cement will sup plant other materials in building. I Already there are cement walks, ' foundations, fence posts, silos, water tanks, and even cement buildings, i Professor Morbut says that the sup ply of timber will "soon be exhausted and manufacturers of cement are ex perimenting to produce a more dura ble article at a cost as low as the best grade of lumber on the market. It Is the opinion of many distinguish ed s'ientists that the next great peri od in the world's history will be known as che ceiuci.t osc I Mineral resources of the United States, 1901, now in press, United States Geological Survey, shows that the production of Portland cement in the United States in 1901 was 12, 711,225 barrels, an increase of 4,229,- 205 barrels, or almost 50 per cent over the productlo nof 1900; It was valued at $12,632,300; as against ?9,- 280,525 in 1900. The development of the Portland cement industry in the United States of late years is quite remarkable. In 1890 1G works pro duced over 335.000 barrels; in 1894, 24 works produced over 798,000 bar rels; in 1899 3G works produced over 5,052,000 barrels; in 1900 60 works produced over 8,842,000 barrels; in 1901, 50 -works produced over 12,711, 000 barrels. In 1890 each one of the 1G cement works averaged a little over 20.000 barrels; In 1901 each one of tho cement works aver aged over 220,000 barrels for the year. For the years 1897, 1898 and 1899 and 1900, tho imports of ce ment into tho United States exceed ed 2,000,000 barrals annually. In 1891 the imports 'were a little under 940, 000 barrels. This remarkable dispro portion is explained when we find that tho percentage has reached from 13.2 per cent in 1891, to 34.7 per cent In 189G; to 73.9 per cent in 1899; to 79.1 per cent In 1900, and to 96.2 per cent in 1901. Tho total consumption of all kinds of cement In the United States in 1901 was 20,573,538 barrels, and tho total domestic poductlon of all kinds of cement was 20,0G8,737 barrels, valued at $15,780,789. 'During 1901, 60 works produced 7,084,823 barrels of natural-rock ce ment, valued at $3,06G,278, as com pared with over 8,383,000 barrels pro duced by G4 works in 1900, and with ff.868,000 barrels produced by G3 works in 1899. The production of slag cement In 1901 amounted to 272.G89 barrels, val ued at $198,151, as compared with 356,601 barrels valued at $274,208 in 1900. Up to January 1, 1902, the total consumption of all kinds of cement in tho United States has amounted to 270,760,382 barrels, of which total tho natural rock cement furnished 71.67 per cent; Imported Portland ce ment, 13.54 per cent; domestic Port land cement, 14.79 per cent. son that are of any significance are- given in classified form ana arruB under each topic in chronological or der, so that tho development of his vlows on any subject Is easily seen. It should be noted that Jefferson con tributed $50 at one time to the Bible Society for the circulation of the Scriptures, and had this to say of the value of tho Gospels.; "There never was a more pure and sublime system of morality delivered to man than is to be found in the four Evangelists." (1814.) Contrary to the general belief, Jef ferson was more a Christian in tho accepted sense, early In life, than later. About 1776 ho at least aligns himself with the Protestants, saying, "If wo are Protestants, we reject all tradition and rely on the Scripture alone." In 1819, he wrote to Ezra Stiles, "I am of a sect by myself, as far as I know." In his "Notes on Religion," (about 177G), there is an implicit affirmation that Jefferson believed broadly in sal vation through religious faith. This Is assumed to bo as much of a fact as riches through labor and healing through medicine, from which secu lar things, however, Jefferson distin guishes It by tho necessity of freedom in use and administration. "I may grow rich by what I am compelled to follow; I may recover heaJth by med icines I am compelled to take against my own judgment; but I cannot bo saved by a worship I believed and abhor." Again he says: "God Him self will not save men against their own wills." Further on in the same document he states the same princi ple affirmatively: "The life and es sence of religion consists in the eter nal persuasion or belief of tho mind." In late life, Jefferson seems to havo attached lest; Importance to faith and belief. Works became his test of a man's righteousness. To Miles King in 1814 he wrote: "I must ever be lieve that religion substantially good which produces an honest life." Two years later he wrote to 'Mrs. Harri son Smith: "It is in our lives, and uot from our words that our religion must be read. His last recorded utterance upon tho sublect of religion is in a letter to Mrs. Woodward, 1824. It smacks of the practical statesman ratlier than of the ethical philosopher. Ho savs: "I cbnsider reliclon a supple ment to law In 'the government of men." "The Jefferson Bible," a mighty in teresting little volume, can be secur ed by sending $1 to the publishers, N. D.

The strongest protest against tho publication by congress of the "Jef ferson Bible," so called, gives a new Intereat to Jefferson's religious views. In Foley's "ffeffersonlan Cyclopedia," all the written utterances of Jotter- IT MUST COME. As inevitable as the changing seasons of the year is the change which comes to every woman. And just as one antici pates the changes of other seasons it is wise iu aniieipuie tins change ot sea son and prepare for it. In tins way the discomforts and disasters suffered by many women at the period of change can be avoided or over come. Dr. Pierce's Fa vorite Prescription, a medicine for every season of woman's life, will entirely meet the needs of women at this period of change. It cures the physical ills aud relieves the mental anxiety and depression usually associated with this critical period. It tranqumzes tne nerves, encourages tne appetite and induces refreshing sleep. J. S. Carlisle, Km-, of Manchester, Coffee Co., Tenu., writes: H nave been using your medi cines for the last sixteen or eighteen years in my Poor-house. I am superintendent or the Coffee County 1'oor-house and Asylum combined. Your ' Favorite Prescription,' ' Golden Medical Discovery and 'Pleasant Pellets' are the best medicines for the diseases for which they are recommended, that I evr used. They saved my wife's life at the time of ' change or life.' I have been recommending your medicine to many afflicted women and nave also guaranteed that if it did not cure I would pay back the muuey pcni lor iu i nave iom our druggist that if the people came back and said Doctor Pierce's medicines did not give satisfaction, to give thiwt b&ck their money and charge it to me. I have not once been called upon to refund. I have never lound anything to equal the ' Favorite Prescription ' lor diseases of women."
