A Dying Patient Recovers Through the Interposition of a Humble German. Chicago, Nov. 15. Some weeks ago Dr. G , a very reputable and widely known physician living on C street, was called to at tend a very complicated case of Rheu matism. Upon arriving at the house he found a man about forty years of age, lying in a prostrated and serious condition, with his whole frame danger ously affected with the painful dis ease. He prescribed for the patient, but the man continued to grow worse, and on Sunday evening he was found to be in a very alarming condition. The knees and elbows and larger joints were greatly inflamed, and could not be moved. It was only with extreme difficulty that the patient could be turned in bed, with the aid of three or four persons. The weight of the clothing was so painful that means had to be adopted to keep it from the pa tient's body. The doctor saw that his assistance would be of no avail, and left the house, the members of the family following him to the door, weeping. Almost im mediately the griei stricken ones were addressed by a humble German. He had heard of the despair of the family and now asked tbem to try his remedy, and accordingly brought forth a bottle of St. Jacobs Oil. The poor wife ap plied this remedy. The first applica tion eased the patient very much ; after a few hours they used it again, and, wonder ol wonders, the pain vanished entirely! Every subsequent applica tion improved the patient, and in two days he was well and out. When the doctor called a few days after he was indeed surprised. Our First Launching.

Eating Dicers, And a source of worry, anxiety and endless trouble to those who are afflicted! with them, particularly so when located upon the lower extremities whore the circulation is weak and sluggish. A gangrenous eating ulcer upon the leg is a frightful sight, and as the poison burrows deeper and deeper into the tissue beneath and the sore continues to spread, one can almost see the flesh melting away and feel the strength going out with the sickening discharges. Great running sores and deep offensive ulcers often develop from a simple boil, swollen gland, bruise or pimple nd are a threatening danger always, because while all such sores are not cancerous, a great many are, and this should make you suspicious of all chronic slow-healing ulcers and sores, par ticularly if cancer runs in your family. Face sores are common and cause the greatest annoyaHce because they are so persistent and unsightly and de tract from one's appearance. Middle aged and old people and those whose blood is contaminated and tainted with the germs and poison of malaria or some previous sickness, or excessive use of mercury, are the chief sufferers from chronic sores and ulcers. While the blood remains in this unhealthy, polluted condition healing is simply impossible and the sore will continue to grow and spread in spite of washes and salves or any superficial or surface trrjtment, for the sore is but tbe outward sign of some constitutional disorder, a bad condition of the blood and system, which local remdies cannot cure. S. S. S. reaches these old chronic sores through the blood. It goes to the very root of the trouble and counteracts and removes from the blood all the impurities and poisons, and gradually builds up the entire system and strengthens the sluggish circulation, and when the blood has been purified blood purifier and tonic combined and a safe and permanent cure for chronic sores and ulcers. If you have a slow-healing sore of any kind, large or small, write us about it, and our physicians will advise you without charge. Book on Blood and Skin Diseases free.

William K. Vanderbilt and Grover Cleveland received, respectively, the largest and smallest checks ever issued to Individuals by the United States Gov ernment. At one time Mr. Vanderbilt owned $50,000,000 worth of Govern ment bonds, and on this amount drew annual Interest of $2,000,000. At the close of Mr. Cleveland's second admin istration It was discovered, In settling up his accounts for salary, that the Government owed him one cent. A check for that amount was forwarded to him, and as It has never been pre sented for payment it is probable that the recipient preserves It as a curiosity. The famous French geographer, Elisce Reclus, who is now in his seventy-third year, lives at Brussels In great seclusion, the only place where a stranger can meet him being at a vege tarian restaurant where he takes his meals. He has been a vegetarian all his life, and declares that the time will come when Europeans will look on beef-eating with the same horror that we do on cannibalism. One day he came co a friend pale and agitated. "My wife Is deceiving me," he exclaimed; and when his friend looked at him in aston ishment he added: "I have surprised her when she was boiling my spinach in bouillon." PROFIT SHARING. Experiment Tried on a Canadian Street Railway. The adoption of a practical system of profit sharing by the street railway company of Vancouver is an experiment that will be of interest to all who watch the development of our industrial sys tem. The Independent, a weekly pub lished in the interests of organized la bor in Vancouver, B. C, gives a report of an address by Manager Buntzen, of the street railway company, to a mass meeting of workmen, which was also addressed by President Mahon, of the Street Railway Men's Union of Ameri ca. The meeting shows the harmonious relations existing between the : street railway" company and Its employes. The company, has voluntarily decided that the regular employes shall re ceive as their share of its profits one third of the amount available for divi dends after the ordinary shareholders have received 4 per cent This means, as estimated, that at the end of the first year each employe will receive about $30; at the end of the second year the share will be about $50, and in five years it will be $100. The men will receive the standard union wages. Manager Buntzen Bays that in his opin ion,' the Increased Interest in the com pany's welfare on the part of the em ployes created by the new system will add so much to the company's success that the shareholders,' as well as the men, will gain by the Innovation. The employes' proportion of the profits will be divided equally among them, all being considered as units in making the company's business a suc cess. " In addition to this voluntary concession the company pays as high wages for every class of work as are paid by other local employers, and, generally speaking, higher wages. The company also makes certain conces sions in the way of uniforms, light and transportation, that employers in other lines, of business are not in a position to grant It is customary to look for rocks In the way of all such industrial experiments. Men do not work for low- wages, nor under unfavorable con ditions, voluntarily, but because they are forced to do so by the conditions of the labor market The model em ployer, the man who voluntarily does more than be is forced to do, because he sees that there is something wrong and that the men are entitled to more, is worthy of all honor. One of the diffi culties of such a scheme is that employ ment with him acquires an economic value . which the workmen may be forced to pay to middlemen or Inter mediaries. But it is time enough to look for such trouble when it begins to de velop. A good relationship and a feel ing of mutual interest have a value that cannot be accurately estimated in dol lars, and these have been secured al ready by the Vancouver Street Rail way Company. We may learn some day that an honest desire to do right can cure most of the industrial evils of mod era society. Toronto Globe. WHERE WHEAT IS GROWN United States, Ruaaia and France the Greatest Raisers in the. World. Some of the great wheat-growing countries are scarcely ever referred to as large raisers of this cereal simply because, needing the grain at home, they export very little. Italy, Germany and Spain, for example, all grow far larger quantities than Argentina or Australia, but we hear little about their wheat because they consume practical ly all of it at home. Much is written about the wheat crops of Argentina and Australia because they are contributors to the general commerce in wheat, though, as a rule, twelve countries each produce more wheat than Australia and ten countries surpass Argentina in an nual yield. It would take about all the wheat of Australia to make the macaroni that Italy . manufactures from her home wheat supply, with a great surplus left for bread. Argentina would have to in crease her product about fivefold to raise the amount of wheat grown in France, which ranks third among the world's producers. It is easy to forget that France Is surpassed only by the United States and Russia in wheat pro duction, for her great crop does not supply her need, and she Is a wheat buying country. A little over forty years ago rye bread was the staple food of the French peasantry, but most of them have since joined the wheat-eaters, with the result that the people can not raise all the wheat they need. France's average crop Is usually about one-third larger than that of In dia, whose wheat seems to attract more attention than France's harvest for no other reason apparently than because in good crop years India is expected to help supply the deficiency of Europe. Except In famine years India has from 12,000,000 to 35,000,000 bushels of export wheat grown in our winter months, when the climate in the best wheat districts Is usually as cool, at least, as a Minnesota summer. Though India is the fourth largest grower, the wheat crop is far inferior In Importance either to the rice of the lowlands or the millet of the drier plateau of the Dec can, these two grains being the great staples of vegetable food. There is an export tax on rice because the country needs all It grows, but the ability to help supply Europe with wheat bread is a boon to the farmers of the Punjab, for which they have to thank the Suez canal. They could not send wheat to Europe as long as it was necessary to double the Cape of Good Hope passing through" the tropics both in the Indian ocean and the Atlantic, but steamship transportation through the canal made a new source of breadstuffs, tributary to Europe, and Indian export wheat is one of the most conspicuous illustra tions of the influence a great ship canal may exert upon the economic conditions of a country. Evolution. Being convinced of the impossibility of supporting his large family at any of the unskilled felonies, the man hit on the unusual expedient of seeking honest employment "But" he reflected, "if I seek such employment under my right name, Bill Jones, nobody will hire me, while If I give my name as Hank Smith, say, I shall be jailed for getting a job by false pretenses. Dear me! What shall I do? Oh, I know. I'll just Incorpor ate, and seek employment as the Hank Smith Corporation. Then It's nobody's business what I do." . This shows how much better off ne cessity is by knowing a little law. Life. Oysters of Artificial Propagation.

Wise Bros., the Famous Portland Dent ists, Advise People Not to Neg lect the Teeth.' "Do it now," said Dr. W. A. Wise, the great dentist of the Failing build ing, Portland, Or., the other day speak ing of getting one's teeth attended to. The doctor used the widely famous saying of the late Rev. Dr. Maltbie V. Babc-ock, who put all fashionable New York in a fever of immediate intention to do right by simply repeating his sound advice to always "do it now." when anyone thought of performing a good act. ."The many obstacles that long pre vented people from taking proper care of their teeth have been almost entire ly removed by modern methods," con tinued Dr. Wise.- "The expense is very moderate. The pain is absolutely nothing. Prosperity reigns everywhere and there is scarcely anyone too poor to afford having bad teeth extracted and serviceable new ones put in. Falro teeth, as we make them, cannot be told from natural ones, and the wearer can eat about as well as ever after a little practice. Everybody with good teeth should offer up a prayer of thankful ness and go immediately to a good dentist and have the teeth examined so as to be sure there are no beginnings of decay apparent. Take the troubles at their incBption and only a little work is necessary. And at all events, no matter how far teeth troubles have gone, go immediately and once have I your teeth put in perfect order. After 1 that it is an easy matter to watch them ' and keep them permanently in good 1 order. "Ihe whole sermon is well summed in Dr. Babcock's words 'do it now.' "We claim that there are no facili ties for dental work in the Northwest superior to what we offer at our offices in the Failing builidng, Portland, Or. We have thousands of patients and are ready to welcome thousands more." . A Matter of Wonder. Mrs. Peck (who has returned from Niagara) I stood speechless Mr. Peck ; Wonderful, wonderful!
