In the Year 3000.

(By Edgar Salttis)

It is legitimate to predict that a tiioaaancJ years hence civilisation will be rather different from what it is to day. That which v acceptable now will bo ■abominable Ihen - Only to the entirely degraded will •moking, dfinking and Bitting about •pp«al. Only bcttiftuity'a dregs will thwtrei attract; Only cripple^ will play earffi. Only imbeciles will oolleot. danbiof paint. Only prisoners wili feed in common, only by aavageg will Jewels be worn, only for the msane will entertainments be held and only chil dren danos for pleasure By that time only in legend will •tockt be quoted, only in folklore will novels endure, only in menageries will honw intvive, only in ballads win fa«b!ona exist. There will be only BioturcM to show that men were high halt and women low necks, only his tory to tell that sport ones was a re laxation Each ©pooh haa its chimera. That of the Middle Ages was Resurrection. That of to day is progress. That t f fcheyear 8000 will ...be. equality. It is Iprobably that in the pursuit of it there will he an explosion, It U equally probable that after the explosion that qaiafi will fnsae which is the succession of great events The world will go on as before, pro viding, ac it has, for th« survival of the fittest, for maatery by the most streanoue, for oblivion to thoso that inccamb

The Major and the Prince of Wales.

Alderman Blank—-let as call him— was, a year or two ago, Mayor of a certain little borough, To him the three words—'Prince of Wales"—are now *s a red rag to a boll. And this is the reason why. When occupying the Mayoral chair, the alderman was quite overcome bj the greatness and grand?ar of his position. Some wag in the town knew this, and played upon it in the foiiowiug way. One dty his worship received . a wire from London—Prince of Walea passes throngh BUtkboroagh Station 1 80 ptn. Tb« Mijor, visions of a knighthood at' least floating before his eyes, resolved to meet the train nhw, in his scarlet fobe. At 1,15 he reached the station, and paced the platform, as proud as a peacock, and an object of great wonder and admiration to the beholders.

At 1.80 "prompt' the train came in, and bis worship's heart beat quickly us lie looked from carriage to carriage with the gtationmtster, to whom he btd confided his telegram. No Prince w«b ther?. Ihe guard knew nothing. fßot, s Kftid he, 'let's ask the driver. 1 So the little crowd, with the Harried Mayor, Itstaned there.

•Where is the Prince of W»1«b?' gasped the JMtyor, The driver grinnrd and Bafd, 'why, I reckon I'm B'ftndinjy on him !' 'Standing on him 1' groaned the scarlet robe Jignitary, and ovon as lie apoko his eyes canght the namo in fieribed pn'lhe enieine—"Prince of Wslbp, built at Crewe, 1876.' Ta«n his worship hailed his carriage, into which ho entered, pnllrd down the blinds, amid the broad grios of the citizens of Bbckboroogh.

Australia the Richest Nation

Despite her Innumerable trwsfa and combines, the United States is not thp richest nation in the world ; neither is Great Britain. The greatest average individual weaUh is found in the Aus tralian Oonopfon wealth. Australia is a Continental island, abundantly rich in hni suitable for settlement and in dustry. Moreover, Its natural pros perity is dependent upon no single product, bat embraces pastoral, agri* cattnral, and mining industries in almost equal degree, and to these are rapidly being added manufactures. Here are some figures worth noting Laat year the total valae of the pro ducts of the Colonies forming the Aus tralian Commonwealth amounted to

FULLY £110,000,000, to which total pastoral industries cob iribated £30,000,000, a^riculturfl £28,000,000, toineral prodocts £20, 000,000 (at !eaat\ and manafact-arlng and other industries the remaining £32,000,000, The wool alone from the 120,000,000 cheep raised in 1900, was worth £20,000,000. As for the mineral resources of Australia, they cannot *>yea be guessed at. Daring the ket eight-and-fortj years the coantry b»s produced gold to the value of £30,000,000, and daring the lasfc twenty silver to the valae of £30,000,000. Aji»in,

DIAMONDS ARE TO BE FOUND

in one district, and rubies in another, while there is at Sraet one emerald mine in New South Wales, and opals equa! to any in the world are found in Queensland. Finally, the pearl fisheries of the north-western coast produce a considerable portion of the raasfc valu able pearls of commerce. Thus Aus tralia, after having been In the hands of the white man for a htiudred years or so, occupies the most enviable position of nafcionß.— PeopiJ8 Journal.

I The morning of life is the time of abundance, profusion, strength, vigor, growth. When the sun begins to sink, when the midday of life is past, then the hair begins to fade and the silvery gray tells of approaching age. I Sunrise or sunset? Which shall your mirror say? If the former, then it is rich and dark hair, long and heavy ■ hair; if the latter, it is short and fall* ; ing hair, thin and gray hair. The choice is yours, —for Ayer's Hair Vigor ■ always restores color to gray hair, stops falling of the hair, and makes the hair grow long and heavy. This is something you nave been looking for, isn't it ? And it is some- j thing you can have confidence in, for it is no experiment; people have been vising it for half a century. We do not claim it will do everything, but we do claim it is the best hair preparation ever made. __ ■ Prepared by Dr. J. C. Ayer Co., Lowe!!, Mass., U. S. A.
