Reports from Russia are not at all rosy as regards the grain crops. At this time of the year RUSSIAN GRAIN, —that is, from August till frost closes the Baltic —the ports m the Baltic are usually thronged with vessels engaged m the export of grain. In the Black Sea the great grain port is Odessa, and when a bountiful harvest has been reapad Odessa Harbor is full of vessels loading up with the surplus wheat of the Bussian Empire. This year, however, Russia's great wheat port is almost deserted, and there is but little grain to ship. Fortunately, sufficient grain has been raised this year to provide for home consumption, so that there is no probability of another famine such as desolated Russia some years ago. The Russian Minist- r of Finance hss ordered his agents m the various European pro vinces of Russia to send exact reports of the quantities of grain stored m the public granaries ; but no better indica- tion of the shortage of the harvest returns can be given than the fact noted above that tho grain exporting ports are almost destitute of vessels. Uussia is m the French market trying to raise a loan, the proceeds of " which are to' be exclusively devoted to placing Russian papor currency on a gold basis. This has already been done by the withdrawal and cancelling of a certain amount of rouble notes, and supplying their place with gold and silver coin. The shortage of the Russian crops leaves but a small margin for export, and the usual sup ply of gold from this source has conse quently been stopped. JJENEY £ANDE£.

ALL OVER THE WORLD. William <7. Herbert, 17. S. N.,MTakes Ayer's Sarsaparilla with Him Everywhere. Disordered Blood and Bad Stomach Cured Positively and Permanently. That is what Ayer's Sarsa? ' parilift did for Past Assistant Engineer Wm. 0. Herbert, whose portrait is here given, Mr Herbert has been an officer m the U. S. naval service for the past 16 years. His duties have taken Mm all over the world, and he has been on a constant go for several years, through the Dardanelles, around the famous rock of Gibraltar, m the Mediterranean, through the Suez Canal, about the South. Sea Islands, m Hawaii, round Cape Horn, to (South America, Africa— everywhere, almost, under the sun ha has cruised as a navy officer. On his return from one of bis voyages the strain told on him. His Wood Vaa m a very bad condition, and his stomach was weakened, and, as he says, he was," knocked out." Mr. Herbert says : 11 Although I look very hearty now, lour years ago my health and physical con- dition were anvthine but good. Then it was that I found the constant knocking about had at last told on me. My blood was very poor and my stomach as bad. I had been cruising about m the service for a long time without any rest and without ceasine from my Uuties. Frequent changes m water and climate, such as I experi- enced, will weaken and debilitate the strongest of us, and I was no exception. In fact. I was completely run down, and when I came home my family insisted on call- I me m the doctor. He prescribed for me and did all he could, but nothing came of it and I crew worse. As my blood seemed chiefly the cause of the trouble I thought I would cive Ayer's Sarsaparilla a trial, seeing it advertised to cure such cases. I took a bottle m an aimless sort of a fashion, but when I found it helped my stomach and was commencing to clear my blood, too, I thoughttber© might be some real j merit m it, and accordingly began on a second bottle. Well, to make a long story short the third completely cured me and restored me to my old-time health. My blood' was better than ever, and my stomach did not bother me m the least. Ayer's Sarsaparilla cured me. Now I take it whenever I feel that my'«ystem needs it, and I do not consider myself equipped for a crujse anywhere without a bottle of Ayer's Sarsaparilla. It has, I assure you, my hearty indorsement and recommendation," Ayer's Sarsaparilla, %. Tli© Only True Blood.-P»urifler. -^
