The readers of this paper will
be pleased to learn that there is
at least one dreaded disease that
science has been able to cure in
all its stages, and that is Catarrh.
Hall’s Catarrh Cure is the only
positive cure now known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh be
ing a constitutional disease, re
quires a constitutional treatment.
Hall’s Catarrh Cure is taken in
ternally, acting directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying
the foundation of the disease,
and giving the patient strength
by building up the constitution
and assisting nature in doing its
work. The proprietors have so
much faith in its curative pow
ers that they offer One Hundred
Dollars for any case that it fails
to cure. Send for list of testi
monials.

7ho would haTe suspected
that this most democratic of men
would have chosen for himself en
vironments so essentially aristo
cratic? He lives in the heart of
a splendid park, patterned after
,tbe English idea of vigorous ex
elusiveness, its gates jealously
guarded by a lodgekeeper.
The interior of the house is in
keeping with the atmosphere of
the park without, quite unlike
Edison. The reception-room was
utterly different from what I ex
pected. The admirably draped
curtains, the tables and chairs ar
ranged wih an eye to artistic ef
fect, were not of Edison's choos
ing. He cares too little for the
luxuries of life. This was his
wife's work; it was all so wom
anly.
I heard quick footsteps behind
me, and Edison appeared, greet
ing me cordially and unaffectedly,
He was dressed in the queerest
of costumes—a long blouse that
reached to his heels, evidently of
his own pattern, serviceable and
work-worn.

up for himself in his home.
There I found his little boy, his
shirt-sleeves rolled up, his face
and hands smeared Tike his
father’s. They had been making
various compounds of which lamp
black was the chief constituent.
“So you work on Sunday, too?*
Edison winked confidentially.
“You see, Mrs. Edison is away. I
ean do as I like.”
That brought back to me a story
that I had once heard from a friend
•f his—a story of how he works
night after night in his labora
tory, utterly absorbed in his ex
periments. Midnight comes and
goes, the gray dawn creeps in, and
still finds him bending over his
test-tubes and retorts, until at
last Mrs. Edison appears and
fondly leads him away to sleep.
I looked around the laboratory.
This at least was his room. There
were Bunsen burners, mortars
and pestles, glass rods, watch
crystals, bottles of chemicals
scattered about in bewildering
profusion. I watched him and his
boy while they worked, the boy

A FORTUNE IN A POTATO.
Tuber Raised by Scotchman and Sold
at High Price—Well-Named
the “Eldorado.”
No potato ever gained so much
notoriety as Eldorado, raised by
the famous Scottish raiser Mr. A.
Findlay, of Markinch. The very
name of the variety, says the Gar
dener’s Magazine, was a stroke of
genius, for it is hardly possible
that the raiser, or those who had
the good fortune to secure some
of the first tubers distributed,
could have imagined that in so
short a time it would change
hands at such enormously high
prices.
Mr. George Massey, of Spalding,
was one of the very first to obtain
the stock, and from him Mr. Zach
ariah Gray, a well-known grower
at Evert on, Sandy, purchased a
■tone weight for £20. This set the
ball rolling, and as Mr. Findlay
resolved not to further distribute
Eldorado until the autumn of
1904, the demand for the small
■tock available was doubled and
trebled, and so the prices rose.
Messrs. Dennis, the Covent Gar
den salesmen, and Messts. I. Poad
ft Sons, of York, possessed sup
plies, and the latter firm found a
purchaser of four pounds at £150
per pound. This determined them
to obtain further stock, and so at
the Smithfield club show a mem
ber of his firm found that Mr. Mas
•ey had a limited stock for dispos
&1 and made him an offer of £1,00<>
for a stone. Mr. Massey refused
as he wanted £1,500, but eventn
ally the bargain was struck at
£1.400, to the satisfaction of both
parties. Subsequently Mr. Mas
■ey sold a relatively small quan
tity for £2,000, so that his original
transaction brought him a ver?
handsome retura.

FEAR OF GERMAN INVASION
Hot Warranted by Number of Kaiser**
Subjects at Present Residing in
South America.
German migration to South
America, and especially to some
of the southern slates of Brazil,
is periodically a cause of com
ment and concern to some who
think they see therein a sinister
scheme of imperial conquest
For two or three strong reasons,
says the New York Tribune, such
fears seem to us to be not well
founded. One such reason is
that the number of Germans in
Brazil is nof, after all, ominous
ly large. The total population of
Brazil, according to the census
of 1890, was 14,333,915. No later
census returns are available, but
| careful estimates now place the
total at more than 17,000,000, of
which number less than 3,000,000
are Indians and negroes, leaving
certainly more than 14,000,000
whites. Of these, in 1901, only
2,700,000 were immigrants, and
of the latter number only 300,000
were Germans.
The latest and highest esti
mate of the number of Germans
in Brazil is only 450,000, or a lit
tle over three per cent, of the
whole. Really, we cannot regard
that as a dangerous percentage,
Nor does it represent the largest
i foreign element, by any means,
Portuguese immigrants into Bra
zil are twice as numerous, and
Italians three times as numer
ous, as the Germans. Nor yet
are these Germans so massed in
certain states as to form a ma^
jority of their population, aa
some have imagined. Germans
are most numerous in Ric
Grande do Sul, where there are
200,000 of them, but the whole
population of the state is 900,000,
so that the Germans are less
than one-fourth. In Santa Catha
rina the Germans are 100,000 in a
total of 300,000, or one-third,
the largest proportion in anj
state. In Parana they are 47,00C
in 280,000, and in Sao Paulo 30,
000 in 1,430,000.
It is pointed out as ominous
that these Germans continue tc
use their own language, to pub
iish newspapers in German and
to demand the official use of that
language in courts and schools
Well, the same may be said ol
Germans in New York, and is
Milwaukee, and in many othei
parts of the United States.
The conquest which Germanj
hopes for in Brazil is not polit
ical, but commercial. The profit
she looks for in this migration ol
her subjects is to be found in in
creased commerce. In that Ger
many reckons shrewdly. Everj
shipload of Germans landed is
Brazil creates a demand foi
many shiploads of German man
ufactured goods. Every so-called
German colony in Brazil meanii
a market for German trade
Upon this feature of the case toe
much stress cannot easily be laid

St., New York City, Says!
' ‘I have used Paracamph in a severe case
of Rheumatism, and will say that I got
immediate, relief. I *have tried almost
every preparation that is now before the
public, and find that Paracamph is with
out question the best remedy for Rheu
matism. I wish you success and heartily
recomined Paracamph ”
Mr Hawkins is only one out of many
thousands that have been cured by the
wonderful penetrating remedy Paracamph
This new remedy is a scientific prepara
tion which when applied, opens the pores
of the skin, allowing the soothing, cool
ing oils to penetrate to seat of the ailment,
removing the soreness and congestion,
drawing out the fever and inflammation
by inducing sweating. It sweats out the
pain and aches, and this is Nature’s plan.
Don’t ruin your stomach with strong
internal medicines for Rheumatism, Neu
ralgia, Sore Joints, etc. We guarantee
Paracamph to relieve and cure you if used
as directed. If it fails your druggist will
■ refund your money. If your druggist don’t
handle Paracamph ask him to get for you.
’ If he won’t do this send direct to us.
But don’t take any substitute because there
i is nothing just as good. Paracamph is sold
only in 25 cent, 50 cent, and $1.00 bottles.
The 50 cent size contains three times as
I much as the 25 cent size; the $1.00 bottles
eight times as much as the 25 cent size.
