Dollar Wheat. ‘ For some little time wheat had fallen below the dollar mark, but the last week closed with wheat commanding a dollar, and it may be accepted as rea-‘ sonably certain that the entire crop of this country, one of the largest ever produced, can be marketed very closely "around the dollar mark, and at times above it. There is no need for farmers to rush their crops into market to escape a de- cline. It is now well understood what . all gour surplus" food will find a 33.8. dy market abroad and that the de- mind is so great as to maintain prices steadily.» There will be ups and downs 11 the price of wheat, corn, etc., often induced by speculators, but the farmer who has produced the crop can take his own time for marketing, feeling as- sured that there will be no serious de- cline in prices. I When" it is remembered that our wheat crop of this year is close to 600,- 000,000 bushels, and that our corn crop doubles the Wheat, it is not difficult to calculate the measure of prosperity the present high prices of farm products must bring to the farmers throughout the entire nation. It must be remem- bered, too, that the cotton crop of the South is one of the largest ever pro- duced, and that it is commanding close to 7 cents per pound, with a largely in- creased product of both wheat and corn in that section of the country. The increased value to the farmer of the crops of this year over any of the three years previous, must be fully $400,000,000, and this year the farmers themselves will reap the full measure of. the advanced prices. On last year’s crop prices did not advance until a very large propontion of the crops had passed from the farmers into the hands of speculators, but this year the farm- ers are able to store their grain and ~ . . . . -.t the same time, it will keep the snar- sell it when they deem best. As a rule, they are not under the severe necessi- ties of one year ago which compelled them to dispose of their crops at the earliest period. With these hundreds of millions of dollars going into the hands of the far- mers of the country, the backbone of our industrial wealth, there must be an ' early diffusion of money throughout all industrial circles that cannot fail to give very general prosperity. Farmers do not hoard money; they expend their surplus in the purchase of lands or in the improvement of that they possess, and there will be largely in- creased employment in agricultural circles, and every community of the country will feel the beneficent results of the large crops and~ high prices of agricultural products. . Men may prate about the tarifl’ as the fountain of the quickened industries and growing prosperity in our midst, but the true ‘fountain of our improved condition is in the fact that the agri- cultural products of the nation will bring to the farmers hundreds of mil- lions of money in excess of what they have received for several years past. The tariff has aided to inspire confi- dence in manufacturing circles, and the people have not taken pause to critically examine its defects but the country is now on the highway to bet- ter conditions because the greatest of all our industrial interests has reached a~ measure of prosperity that must diffuse itself into all the channels of enterprise throughout the land. A ‘ VVv r FEMININE CHAT. Of all the exasperating crew, the wo- man who makes promises just to be ac- “ .commodating, with never a thought of keeping them, is the shining light. There are some novel muffs of Thi- bet with bristling. loops of chiffon and ribbon, the effect produced being that ' of a very much dressed up French poodle. ‘ ‘ The use of rhinestones was never ‘ more fashionably prevalent. They are woven into fabrics, they appear in buckles, and even glisten from fancy hoisery ' Many a woman who owns a wheel has learned, to her heart’s sorrow,that . beauty is only skin deep. l A man is neverapt to underestimate his own value excepting when he goes benefit. gles that every lady used to crowdupon her pretty wrists. A woman may declare when she will that she doesn’t mind earning her liv- ing; but let her feel ill, and she is just as anxious to be coddled and made much of as the veriesthome body that ever lived. How much m01e we 01 der at market if we go just before dinner than just afte1 it. ‘3 Why do people always ask from where you got a cold? What earthly differ ence can it make? You can I take it back.- Wheneve1 you are in trouble people are always ready to prate of misfortunes never coming singly, but rarely hear them chirping in prophecy regarding your being swamped in. prosperity when you have one visitation from good luck. It will not be long now before the furnace man will be putting on airs and coal, both of whi‘qh mean a goodly expenditure for the housekeeper. Some people who pride themselves on their frankness would be quite shocked if they knew that their hearers called such plain speaking rudeness. PATENT PAD FOR SNORERS. Invented by a Carpenter Who Warrants It to Stop Any Rip-Saw Sound. S. Anderson, a carpenter and build- er living in Chicago, has constructed an apparatus for the prevention and cure of snoring which can hush the trumpeting of the loudest snorer that ever disturbed a neighborhood, to a sound as soft as a baby’s breath. If the device, which has just been pat— ented, is all it is claimed to be, it could be applied to the throat of a fog horn and a sound like the solo of a $5,000—a-night grand opera prima don- na would come out of it. Mr. Anderson’s invention is not so much the result of his skill as a. car- penter rq‘that he has snored all his life himself. After trying for nearly fifty years to cure himself of thehab— it, and applying all 'r-emedies, from gargling his throat .with salt and water before going to bed, to eating a slice of the wedding cake of a woman who had married the seventh son of a sev- enth son, all without the slightest ef- fect, Mr. Anderson hit upon the device which he has just had patented. The gag which he has constructed :111d which, it is said, will work won- ders in that particular branch of music, is not as large as a croquet ball, .15 some people might .think it would 'lave to be to be effective, It is a small pad which rests in the mouth 1nd is kept-from .being swallowed by a :trap. It is said this will'not interfere vith the slumbers of the snorer, while, 3r from interfering with the slumbers -)f others. Mr. Anderson’s invention has not ‘een completed long, but already a. :o-od many afflicted people have called .t his house to look it over with a view .:0 making presents to their friends. Some objections have'been raised be- arse it cannot be administered in a. up of coffee unknown to the snorer, it nearly everyone who has seen it ”:as pronounced it a success. The de- ‘ice is to be manufactured in several izes to suit the taste and capacity of ‘le wearer. It is practically inde- tructible, and one of them may be -1nded down from father to son, or to laughter, if snoring exists on that side '1‘ the house. —Chicago Tribune. —All the successful Merchants or this City Advertise in THE GAZETTE. How TO FIND. OUT. Fill a bottle or common glass with urine and let it stand twenty-four hours; a sediment or settling indicates an unhealthy condition of the kidneys When urine stains linen it is evidence of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire to urinate 01 pain in the back, is also convincing proof that the kidneys and bladder are out of order. WHAT To no. There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer s Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy. fulfills every wish 1n relieving pain in every part of the urinary passages. It corrects inability to hold urine and scalding pain in passing it, or bad ef- fects following use of liquor, wine or beer. and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to get up many times during the night to urin- ate. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases. If you need a medicine you should have the best. Sold by d1 ugglsts, price fifty cents and one dollar. You may have a sample bottle and pamphlet both sent free by mail. Mention THE GAZETTE, Co., Binghamton, N. Y.
